최근 세계적인 지진의 발생과 함께 구조물의 내진성능 평가 및 증진 방법에 대하여 많은 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 특히 교량 구조물의 교각의 경우에는 상부구조의 고정하중 및 활하중을 지반에 전달하여 주는 역할을 하기 때문에, 역으로 지진이 발생하였을 경우 교각의 내진성능에 따라서 교량의 안전도에 많은 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 또한 산악지역이 국토의 70%이상을 차지하는 우리나라의 지형적인 특성상 고교각을 이용한 장대교량의 건설이 필요하며 도시지역의 교통량 증가로 인한 도시고속도로의 건설 등 고가교의 필요성이 점차 증가하고 있다. 그러나 CFT(Concrete Filled Tube)부재의 경우에는 콘크리트가 3축 구속 상태로 존재하지만 자중이 크며 내진 성능이 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 CFT부재의 단면을 중공으로 만듦으로써 부재를 경량화하고 내부 튜브를 삽입하여 내부를 구속 시킨 내부 구속 중공 CFT 부재(Internally Confined Hollow CFT Member, ICH CFT)가 개발되었다. 이는 콘크리트가 내 외부 튜브에 의하여 구속되어 3축 구속 상태로 존재함으로써 콘크리트 중공부로의 취성파괴를 방지하여 연성도 및 강도를 향상시켜주며, 단면의 감소로 인해 재료비를 절감 할 뿐 아니라 자중 감소로 인해 내진 설계에도 유리하다. 현재 내부 구속 중공 CFT 부재에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있지만, 튜브를 삽입함으로써 부재의 중공부로 발생하는 구속력의 특성을 해석적으로 정립한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 압축을 받는 중공 CFT 부재에 내부 튜브를 삽입함으로써 발생하는 콘크리트의 구속력을 해석적 연구를 통하여 수행하였으며, 구속력을 파악하기 위한 평가 방법으로는 구속 콘크리트의 중공비와 직경, 외부튜브의 두께, 내부튜브의 두께 등으로 평가하였다. 해석적 연구 결과, 내부 튜브를 삽입함으로써 발생되는 외부 구속력은 이론적 수식에 의한 구속 응력값과 비슷한 값을 가지지만 내부로 발생하는 구속력은 이론적 수식에 의한 구속 응력값에 도달하지 못하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In evaluating the individual Plant Examination of Seismic Events, two methodologies, Seismic Probabilistic Risk Assessment(SPRA) and Seismic Margin Assessment(SMA) can be used. SPRA is based on the probubilistic approach and SMA is based on the deterministic approach in evaluating seismic capacities. In this paper, by evaluating the seismic capacities of the same component by these two approaches respectively, the correlation of two methodologies can be shown. In addition, the meaning of HCLPF(High Confidence of Low Probability of Failure) values that are inherent in these two methodologies is recognized by the quantitative comparison analysis.

In this paper, a method is proposed to accurately and efficiently estimate the equivalent added mass of hydro-dynamic pressure on dam floodgates subjected to earthquake loading. The present method is based on a relatively-simple procedure using on-site vibration measurement and finite element frequency analysis, which is sufficiently practical to be used in the earthquake resistance performance evaluation of dam floodgates.

The research, development and use of seismic isolation systems have been increasing with the gradual development of structure safety assurance methods for earthquakes. The High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB), one type of seismic isolation system, is a Laminated Rubber Bearing using special High Damping Rubber. However, as its damping function is slightly lower than that of the Lead Rubber Bearing, a similar seismic isolation system, its utilization has not been high. However, the HDRB has a superior damping force to the Natural Rubber Bearing, which has similar materials and shapes, and the existing Lead Rubber Bearing has a maleficence problem in that it contains lead. Thus, studies on HDRBs that do not use lead have increased. In this study, a test targeting the HDRB was done to examine its various dependence properties, such as its compressive stress, frequency and repeated loading. To evaluate the HDRB's seismic performance in response to several earthquake waves, the shaking table test was performed and the results analyzed. The test used the downscaled bridge model and the HDRB was divided into seismic and non-seismic isolation. Consequently, when the HDRB was applied, the damping effect was higher in the non-seismic case. However, its responses on weak foundations, such as in Mexico City, represented increased shapes. Thus, its seismic isolator.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns with interlocking circular hoops. Three interlocking columns were tested under a constant axial load and a quasistatic, cyclically reversed horizontal load. A computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology) was used for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The used numerical method gives a realistic prediction of performance throughout the loading cycles for several test specimens investigated. Based on the experimental and analytical results, design recommendations are presented to improve the existing practice in the design and construction of reinforced concrete bridge columns with interlocking circular hoops.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of hollow precast segmental PSC bridge columns. The proposed system can reduce work at a construction site and makes construction periods shorter. Shortened construction times, in turn, lead to important safety and economic advantages when traffic disruption or rerouting is necessary. Two hollow precast segmental PSC bridge columns were tested under a constant axial load and a quasistatic, cyclically reversed horizontal load. A computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures, was used. The proposed numerical method gives a realistic prediction of performance throughout the loading cycles for several test specimens investigated.

The aseismic capacity of a traditional three-bay-straw-roof wooden house for rock site condition is quantitatively estimated. One 1/4 scale model was tested for the Nahanni Earthquake with peak ground accelerations from 0.1g to 0.6g. The natural frequency of the wooden house in elastic range is 1.66 Hz and 2.15 Hz in longitudinal and transversal direction, respectively. Damping ratio of the house in elastic range is 7%. The horizontal acceleration response of the house is significantly reduced compared with the input motion due to the nonlinear inelastic characteristics of the Sagae-machum joint of the frame. The traditional wooden house has high aseismic capacity in the rock site condition where high frequency contents of motion are predominant.

Recently a new damper system with Kogome truss structure was developed and its mechanical properties were verified based on the laboratory test. This paper presents a Kagome truss damper external connection method for seismic strengthening of RC frame structural system. The Kagome external connection method, proposed in this study, consisted of building structure, Kagome damper and support system. The method is capable of reducing earthquake energy on the basis of the dynamic interaction between external support and building structures using Kagome damper. The pseudo-dynamic test, designed using a existing RC frame apartment for pilot application of LH corporation, was carried out in order to verify the seismic strengthening effects of the proposed method in terms of the maximum load carrying capacity and response ductility. Test results revealed that the proposed Kagome damper method installed in RC frame enhanced conspicuously the strength and displacement capacities, and the method can resist markedly under the large scaled earthquake intensity level.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of the low-rise RC apartment buildings having piloties at ground level by using nonlinear static analysis with regards to the maximum considered and design earthquakes in Korea. To do this, the target displacement at roof was estimated according to FEMA356 (or ASCE/SEI-41), and the deformations of the critical members were compared with the failure criteria of Life Safety(LS) and Collapse Prevention(CP) given in FEMA356. The conclusions are as follows: (1) columns satisfy criteria of LS and CP, but (2) the shear wall in the longitudinal direction failed to satisfy those of both LS and CP while those in the transverse direction satisfy that of LS, but failed that of CP.

Ductile behavior and strength of concrete-filled steel(CFS) piers was supported by many quasi-static cyclic loading tests. This test method, however, only estimates the member′s deformation capacity under escalating and repetitive displacement and ignores dynamic and random aspects of an earthquake load. Therefore, to understand complete seismic behavior of the structure against an earthquake, dynamic tests such as shaking table test and pseudo-dynamic tests are required as well as quasi-static tests. In this paper, following "Seismic Performance of Concrete-Filled Steel Piers Part I : Quasi-Static Cyclic Loadint Test", the seismic behavior of CFS and steel piers designed for I-Soo overpass in Seoul in investigated by the pseudo-dynamic test. In addition, the residual strength of both piers after an earthquake is estimated by the quasi-static test. The results show that both piers have satisfactory ductility and strength against well-known EI Centro earthquake although the CFS pier has better strength and energy dissipation than the steel pier.
