내진 설계규정이 적용되기 이전에 시공되어 사용 중인 교량의 경우 지진 발생시 교각의 파괴 또는 구조적 피해는 교량 전체 시스템의 붕괴를 초래하므로 지진하중에 대하여 피해를 최소화해야 한다. 이를 위해 내진설계규정이 적용되기 이전의 교량 또는 지진취약지역으로 분류된 곳의 교량, 사회적 중요도가 높은 교량에 대해 교각의 내진성능보강을 실시하고 있다. 2007년 말 국토해양부가 관리하고 있는 11,940개 교량 중 지진 발생시 피해가 우려되는 1,342개(일반국도 682개, 고속국도 600개) 교량에 대해 2006년부터 내진보강이 착수되었고 2009년에는 확대 추진하여 일반국도 80개교, 고속국도 100개교에 대한 보강을 실시하였다. 이와 같이 확대 추진되고 있는 정책에 반해, 내진보강 기술 및 제품이 부족하고 새로운 내진보강재 개발이 불가피해지고 있는 것이 현실이다. 소성영역에서의 횡방향 철근은 지진 시 종방향 철근의 좌굴과 콘크리트의 압축강도저하를 방지하며, 전단보강철근으로도 중요한 역할을 하여 교각의 전단강도를 증가시킨다. 그러나 이러한 횡방향 철근은 초기 설계에 의한 시공이 종료된 후 기존의 성능을 증가시키기 위하여 철근량을 증가하거나 단면의 변화를 주기에는 매우 어려운 일이다. 따라서 내진성능을 위한 단면력 증가를 위하여 다양한 재료의 보강재와 형식이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원형교각 모델의 구조해석을 이용해 내진성능평가를 선행한 후 실험체를 제작, Helical Bar를 보강하여 준정적 실험을 통해 내진보강성능을 평가하였다. 압축설계강도 $f_{ck}=240kgf/cm^2$를 기준으로 교량등급 2등교인 일반적인 도로교의 1/4축소모형을 설계, 기초부는 $1,200{\times}600{\times}600$ (mm)으로 철근과 콘크리트로 구성하였으며, 기둥부는 직경 400mm, 높이 1,250mm 크기의 철근콘크리트 원형 교각 실험체를 제작하였다. 제작된 실험체는 총 3개로, 분류는 무보강 일반 실험체, Helical Bar 직경에 따른 분류, 보강간격에 따른 분류로 나누어진다.

1980년대 이래 국내 터널의 시공법은 원지반의 강성을 활용한 NATM이 주를 이루고 있다. 그러나 NATM은 터널내부에 설치되는 내부라이닝의 여러 가지 문제점을 내포하고 있기 때문에 노르웨이에서는 조립식 터널 라이닝(Pre-Cast Concrete Lining, PCL)을 개발하여 현장타설 콘크리트 라이닝의 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 그러나 노르웨이와 같은 북유럽지역에서는 지진이 거의 발생되지 않고 있기 때문에 PCL공법 개발당시에 지진에 대한 영향을 고려하지 못하였다. 따라서 PCL공법을 국내에 도입하기 위해서는 먼저 지진에 대한 영향을 분석하여야 할 것으로 판단되므로 본 연구에서는 PCL공법 적용시 지진에 대한 안정성 평가 및 합리적 내진해석을 위한 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. PCL의 내진성능을 판단하기 위하여 먼저 국내에서 주로 많이 사용되고 있는 해석기법인 유사정적해석법과 응답스펙트럼해석법을 이용하여 분석하였으며 지반과 구조물의 상호작용에 대한 영향을 분석하기 위해 시간이력해석을 수행하여 터널심도별 PCL의 내진성능을 분석하였다. 이와 같은 방법으로 PCL의 내진해석을 수행한 결과, 부재에 발생된 응력이 허용응력 이내에서 발생되어 PCL의 내진성능을 확보된 것으로 판단된다. 또한 시간이력해석에 의한 지반-구조물 해석을 수행한 결과에 의하면 PCL의 내진성능을 확보하기 위한 터널의 최소 토피고가 터널직경에 2배 이상인 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 단순 구조물의 내진해석만으로는 PCL의 내진성능을 과소평가할 우려가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Seismic fragility curves of structures represent the probability of exceeding the prescribed structural damage state for a given various levels of ground motion intensity, such as peak ground acceleration (PGA). This means that seismic fragility curves are essential to the evaluation of structural seismic performance and assessments of risk. Most of existing studies have not considered the near- and far-fault earthquake effect on the seismic fragility curves. In order to evaluate the effect of near- and far-fault earthquakes, seismic fragility curves for PSC box girder bridges subjected to near- and far-fault earthquakes are calculated and compared. The seismic fragility curves are strongly dependent on the earthquake characteristics such as fault distance. This paper suggests that the effect of near- and far-fault earthquakes on seismic fragility curves of PSC box girder bridge structure should be considered.

This paper describes a series of shaking table and pseudodynamic tests for evaluation of seismic performance of base-isolated structures subjected to various seismic earthquake inputs. The main objectives of this study are : (1) evaluation of the effectiveness of base-isolation systems for low-rise structures against severe seismic loads through shaking table tests, (2) verification of the substructuring pseudodynamic test method for the base-isolated structures in comparison with the shaking table test results. In the shaking table test, a quarter scaled three-story structure base-isolated by laminated rubber bearings is tested. In the pseudodynamic test, only the laminated rubber bearing s are tested using the substructuring technique, while the concurrent seismic responses of the superstructure are computed using on-line numerical integration. Comparison with the shaking table test results indicates that the substructuring pseudodynamic test method is very effective for determining the dynamic responses of the base-isolated structure.

In this study, the staged seismic performance evaluations were conducted to the 91 high speed railway tunnels in use for checking whether to comply with the recent design criteria or not. In addition, the seismic fragility functions of the tunnels were developed to allow the probabilistic risk assessment. The results of the staged seismic performance evaluations which consist of a preliminary assessment and a detailed assessment, show that the tunnels comply with the recent design criteria. With reference to the results of previous studies, a form of the proposed seismic fragility functions was set as a log-normal distribution by PGA, and the parameters of the functions were determined by using the probability of damage for the design PGA level. The seismic fragility functions were developed for each types (Cut & Cover, NATM) of tunnels. The seismic fragility functions from this study and the existing research results (FEMA, 2004) were compared to evaluate the seismic performance level of the tunnels, as a result the tunnels of this study were relatively superior to the ASSM tunnels on the seismic performance.

In this study, a seismic risk analysis performed for an applicability assessment of steel fiber in containment structures. Steel fiber can increase tensile properties of concrete structures moreover compressive and shear capacity. But many of researches about steel fiber reinforced concrete structures are now only focused in axial load condition. Also it is very difficult to find an effort for application to containment structures in NPP. Therefore, in this study, seismic fragility assessment for a steel fiber reinforced concrete containment structure. As a result, a seismic fragility capacity improved according to increase of shear and ductile capacity of concrete. In the case of 1.0% of steel fiber volume fraction, seismic capacity increases as 10%. But very limited previous experimental results were used in this study, so various element tests were needed for more accurate investigation.

Piping systems are crucial facilities used in various industries, particularly in areas related to daily life and safety. Piping systems are fixed to the main structures of buildings and facilities but do not support external loads and serve as non-structural elements performing specific functions. Piping systems are affected by relative displacements owing to phase differences arising from different behaviors between two support points under seismic loads; this can cause damage owing to the displacement-dominant cyclic behavior. Fittings and joints in piping systems are representative elements that are vulnerable to seismic loads. To evaluate the seismic performance and limit states of fittings and joints in piping systems, a high-stroke actuator is required to simulate relative displacements. However, this is challenging because only few facilities can conduct these experiments. Therefore, element-level experiments are required to evaluate the seismic performance and limit states of piping systems connected by fittings and joints. This study proposed a method to evaluate the seismic performance of an elbow specimen that includes fittings and joints that are vulnerable to seismic loads in vertical piping systems. The elbow specimen was created by connecting straight pipes to both ends of a 90° pipe elbow using flexible groove joints. The seismic performance of the elbow specimen was evaluated using a cyclic loading protocol based on deformation angles. To determine the margin of the evaluated seismic performance, the limit states were assessed by applying cyclic loading with a constant amplitude.

Potential damage and losses associated with structural systems caused by earthquake can be reduced by application of seismic design to the structures. Because the building cost required for seismic design is generally higher than the cost for non-seismic design, the application of seismic design must be justified considering both seismic performance and cost. This paper presents a risk-based fiamework for evaluation and comparison of seismic performance of structures such that necessary data can be supplied for decision making on seismic design. Seismic fragility curve is utilized for seismic risk assessment of structures, and the process for decision analysis on adaptation of seismic design is presented based on the equivalent cost model.

In order to check the necessity of seismic reinforcement for a great number of existing structures effectively, it might be desirable to introduce the multi-step seismic evaluation system. This paper presents close relationships between shear-to-moment capacity ratio of a member and seismic performance of structures concerned through the failure mechanism investigation in the view of geological and structural characteristics. Based on it, the simple seismic performance evaluation method has been proposed and its effectiveness was verified by comparing with the damage condition of structures damaged under Hyogo-Ken Nambu Earthquake.

The application of seismic separation joints that can improve the deformation capacity of piping is an effective way to improve seismic performance. Seismic separation joints capable of axial expansion and bending deformation are installed where deformation is expected and used for the purpose of safely protecting the piping. Bellows are flexible and have low stiffness, so they can be used as seismic separation joints because they have excellent ability to respond to relatively large deformation. In this study, the seismic performance and limit state for bending deformation of 2-ply and 3-ply bellows specimens were evaluated. Seismic performance was evaluated by applying an increasing cyclic load to consider low-cycle fatigue due to seismic load. In order to confirm the margin for the limit state of the evaluated seismic performance, an experiment was conducted in which a cyclic loading of constant amplitude was applied. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the bellows specimen was made of stainless steel and had a high elongation, so that the 2-ply bellows specimen had the limit performance of resisting within 3 cycles even at the maximum forced displacement of the 3-ply bellows specimen.
