Newmark's sliding block analysis is the most commonly used method for predicting earthquake-induced permanent displacement of embankment slopes. Additionally, it yields the amount of slip circle sliding using the limit equilibrium theory. Thus, permanent displacement does not occur until the seismic load exceeds the yield acceleration, which induces sliding of the slip circle. The evolution of Newmark's sliding block analysis has been made by introducing the numerical seismic response analysis results since it was introduced. This study compares seismic performance evaluation results for the example enclosure dam section with the analysis methods. As a result, earthquake-induced permanent displacement using Newmark's sliding block analysis did not occur for the enclosure dam, indicating a high safety factor. However, nonlinear response history analysis gave reasonable results.

To investigate the effects of residual displacement, the structural responses of buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBF) and special moment-resisting frames (SMRF) were evaluated for design-based excitations following an application of initial residual drift. The initial residual drift was applied to the structure in two ways. The first way was to simply apply the same earthquake record to the structure twice, with an appropriate pause between applications to allow the structural response from the first record to return to zero. The second way to apply the initial residual drift was to apply a pushover to the structure until it arrives at the desired residual drift value. According to the analysis results, the initial residual drifts had a significant effect on the responses of steel BRBF and SMRF. The responses of BRBF were more highly dependent on the initial residual deformation than the responses of SMRF. Therefore, in order to minimize the post-event repair cost, a reduction of residual drift is required.

This paper proposes a learning input shaper with nonlinear actuator dynamics to reduce the residual vibration of flexible systems. The controller is composed of an estimator of the time constant of the nonlinear actuator dynamics, a recursive least squares method, and an iterative updating algorithm. The updating mechanism is modified by introducing a vibration measurement function to cope with the dynamics of nonlinear actuators. The controller is numerically evaluated with respect to parameter convergence and control performance by using a benchmark pendulum system. The feasibility and applicability of the controller are demonstrated by comparing its control performance to that of an existing controller algorithm.

노내에서 지지격자 스프링의 잔류 탄성변위는 시간(연소도)에 따라 변하게 된다. 이는 격자판의 중성자 조사에 의한 길이방향의 성장으로 지지격자 셀 크기의 증가와 피복관의 크리프에 의한 직경의 감소 및 중성자 조사에 의한 지지격자 스프링력의 이완으로 인한 것이다. 만일 지지격자 스프링의 거동이 변하여 연료봉을 탄성적으로 지지하지 못할 경우 이것은 연료봉의 유체에 의한 진동을 가속시키게 되며, 연료봉과 지지격자 스프링이나 딤플간의 반복적인 고주기의 충격하중은 연료봉의 지지부와 봉간(grid-to-rod)의 프레팅 마모의 원인이 될 수 있다. 따라서 시간에 따라 변하는 변수들의 영향을 고려한 지지격자 스프링의 잔류 탄성변위를 예측할 수 있는 방법론을 정립하여 새로운 지지격자체의 개발시 건전한 연료봉의 지지거동을 평가할 수 있는 도구로 활용하고자 하였다.

본 연구에서는 이동제한장치가 있는 연속교의 지진응답특성을 고찰하였다. 일점고정연속교에 있어서 이동제한장치는 교각이 탄성거동을 하는 경우 교축방법 수평력 분산기능이 있으며 교각하부에 소성힌지가 발생하거나 내진분리베어링이 있는 경우에는 최대변위 및 비탄성거동에 따른 잔류변위제한에 매우 효과적이다. 상부구조와 이동제한장치의 충돌시 발생하는 충격력은 완충재의 사용으로 상당히 감소시킬 수 있다. 이동제한장치의 설치위치 및 이격거리는 이동제한장치가 설치될 하부구조의 강성 및 강도와 온도변화, 급제동력, 작은 지진발생시 충돌여부, 신축이음장치유간 등을 고려하여 결정되어야 한다.

The motion-limiting devices can be used for reducing the maximum and residual displacements of the multi-span continuous bridges with inelastic elements such as isolation bearings and plastic hinges formed in piers. For the design of motion-limiting device, the nonlinear time history analysis is required. But the time history analysis is time consuming and very complex. This study suggests the simple design procedure of the motion-limiting devices using the equivalent elastic analysis method and the acceleration-displacement spectrum concept. The suggested design procedure can be used very effectively for determining the location and gap size of the motion-limiting devices.

A two-dimensional numerical analysis was performed on the depth of pile embedment, the magnitude of the residual water level, and the condition of the presence or absence of cap concrete to understand the behavior of the block-type quay wall with piles. The results showed the control effect of the lateral displacement of the quay wall depending on the embedment of the pile. When the piles were not embedded, the lateral displacement of the quay wall increased proportionally as the residual water level difference increased. In contrast, when the piles were embedded into the ground, the control of the lateral displacement of the quay wall was greatly exerted even if the residual water level difference increased. There was little difference in the lateral displacement of the block-type quay wall regardless of the presence or absence of cap concrete. Under the condition where the piles were embedded down to the rubble mound layer, the piles exhibited the rotational behavior seen in the short piles. As the embedment depth of the piles increased, the piles showed the same bending behavior as the intermediate piles. Thus, the piles significantly contribute to the control of lateral displacement in the block-type quay wall with piles.

For long piles driven in deep clay deposits, it is difficult to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity due to large resistance induced by long embedded depth, and also the load transfer curve due to large residual load induced by negative skin friction, even with the performance of pile load tests. In this research, a hi-directional load test on a PHC pile driven in deep soft deposit was performed in order to evaluate the tip and shaft resistances separately, which are feasible to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile. Residual load of the pile was determined by continuous monitoring of pile strains after the pile installation. The true resistance and true load-movement curve of the pile were properly estimated by taking account of the residual load. A model far behavior of the shaft resistance vs. movement was also proposed, which includes the effects of residual load based on the experiment. Consequently, it was proved that the residual load should be taken into consideration for correctly analyzing load test results of piles in deep clay deposits.

The use of reinforced earth walls id permanent structures is getting its popularity. Despite a number of advantages of reinforced earth walls over conventional concrete retaining walls, there exists concerns over long-term residual deformations when subjected to repeated and/or cyclic loads, during their service period. In this investigation, the effects of pre-loading in reducing long term residual deformation of reinforced soil structures under sustained and/or repeated loading environment are investigated using a series of reduced-scale model tests. A model pier and a back-to-back (BTB) reinforced soil structures were constructed and tested under various loading and backfilling conditions. The results indicate that the pre-loading technique can be an effective means of controlling residual deformations of reinforced soils under various loading conditions.

This paper presents the numerical procedure for calculating non-uniform residual stresses based on relieved displacements obtained from incremental hole drilling. The relationship between the in-plane displacement produced by introducing a blind hole and the corresponding residual stress is established. Finite element calculations are described to evaluate the relieved coefficients required for the determination of non-uniform residual stresses. Validity of the proposed method has been tested through three axisymmetric test examples and two three-dimensional examples. As a result of . simulation on the test examples, it is found that this numerical procedure is well adopted to measuring non-uniform residual stress in the full hole depth range of the hole diameter from the surface. The accuracy of the hole drilling method with displacement measurement is discussed, comparing tile method with strain measurement
