This paper was investigated on the laminated rubber bearing, which mitigates damages of bridges from threat of earthquakes. Laminated rubber bearing can bear large loads for long periods of time and be capable of large deformations during an earthquake. To evaluate seismic isolation with laminated rubber bearing on several earthquake waves, we performed a shaking table test. In this test, deck acceleration was measured by accelerometers and shear force on piers was surveyed by load cells. Furthermore, seismic capacity of isolated systems with laminated rubber bearing was compared with non-isolated systems through shaking table test. The results show that deck acceleration and shear force were relatively reduced by laminated rubber bearing.

In the present study, in order to apply a cyclic viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive model to multi-layered ground conditions during large earthquake, the numerical simulations of the 1995 Hyogoken Nanbu Earthquake at Port Island, Kobe, Japan, were performed by the seismic response analysis. From the seismic response analysis, it was found that the acceleration calculated from the cyclic elasto-viscoplastic model and cyclic viscoelastic-viscoplastic models for clay was in close agreement with the recorded accelerations at the Port Island down-hole array, and the cyclic elastic-viscoplastic and viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive models showed little different behavior characteristics near clay layer. Thus, the propriety of viscoplastic model for clay was convinced. Therefore, it can be concluded that a cyclic viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive model can give a good description of the amplification and also it showed accurate damping characteristics of clay during large event which induces plastic deformation in large strain range.

The purpose of this study is to estimate seismic damage for harbor site considering dynamic amplification characteristics. First of all, a series of ground response analysis is performed and then correlation equations between rock outcrop accelerations and peak ground accelerations (PGAs) are determined. These equations are saved into DB and when an earthquake occurs, PGAs are determined by them as soon as possible. For earthquake events, seismic damage grades of harbor structures are determined by using the correlated PGAs and fragility curves of harbor structures in real time. In this study, seismic damage was estimated and classified into several grades by applying two hypothetical earthquakes.

구조물-지반 상호작용에서 알려진 것처럼 구조물 지진응답은 구조물하부 지반조거에 따라 영향을 받는데 UBC-97을 포함한 여러내진설계규준에서 지반사태 영향을 반영하고 있다 이 연구에서는 기초크기 기초밑 지반깊이, 입력지진 작용점 및 기초 근입깊이 등의 영향을 살펴보고 깊은 지반 위에 세워진 구조물의 평균응답스펙트럼을 UBC-97 탄성응답스펙트럼과 비교하기 위해 구조물-지반 상호작용을 고려한 지진해석을 가상 3차원 유한요소법과 부구조물법을 이용하여 1952년 Taft와 1940년 El Centro 지진기록을 주파수영역에서 수행하였다 연구결과에 의하면 기초크기는 구조물 응답에 별 영향이 없고 기초저면 지반깊이는 구조물체계의 고유주기와 최대가속도를 변경시켰다 또 입력지진의 합리적 작용점은 기초저면이라는 것이 확인되었으며 깊은 지반위에 놓인 기초의 근입은 저주기영역에서 구조물 응답을 상당히 줄어들게 하였다 한편 30m 깊은 지반위에 세워진 구조물의 평균가속도와 UBC-97 가속도를 비교한 결과 UBC-97 탄성응답스펙트럼에 의한 구조물 내진설계가 안전하지 못할 수도 있으므로 UBC-97 지진계수의 할증이 필요하다.

모든 원자력관련시설들은 지진으로부터 공공에 아무런 피해를 주지 않는 안전한 설계를 위하여, 일반구조물인 건물, 교량 등의 설계$\cdot$건설을 위하여 정해져 있는 내진설계법규보다도 훨씬 보수적으로 내진설계를 규정하는 원자력법규에 따라 설계 건설되고 있다. 국내의 원자력법규에 정해진 설계기준지진은 안전정지지진(Safe Shutdown Earthquake, SSE)이라 하며, 국내의 원자력발전소 및 원자력관련시설은 안정정지지진의 지반가속도 크기를 0.2g(g는 중력가속도, 1g= 1,000gal=980cm/$sec^2$)로 정하여 사용되고 있다.

In an effort to further exploit the peak ground-motion acceleration (PGA) information per second available in real time by the enacted law, bracketed summations of the PGA per second ($BSPGA_k$) for 30 seconds based on the records with a rate of 100 samples were compared with the cumulative absolute velocity (CAV) and earthquake intensities based on a worldwide database of records from small-to-large earthquakes. The CAV, currently in use as an earthquake damage indicator for nuclear power plants due to its strong correlation with the earthquake intensity, has the disadvantage of requiring a massive amount of digital data with a rate of more than 100 samples per second. The comparative study shows that the $BSPGA_k$ is well correlated with the CAV over the wide range of strong ground-motion levels, which suggests that the $BSPGA_k$ is one of the new promising ground-motion parameters especially useful for rapid earthquake alert notifications through an earthquake monitoring network. Based on the domestic database of records from small-to-moderate earthquakes with felt reports, it is also observed that the $BSPGA_k$ is comparable to the CAV and better than the PGA in predicting the intensity by using the correlation relation.

In this study, The failure of water supply facilities is categorized into two phases: functional failure and complete collapse. The fragility curve of water supply facilities under PGA has been developed for two loading cases: actual overseas earthquake and Korean artificial earthquake. The seismic fragility of water supply facilities has been analyzed and compared about failure phases and PGA. From the analysis results, the probability of failure of the wrapped steel pipe and ductile case iron pipe under Korean artificial earthquake has been shown as lower than that under actual overseas earthquake in the range from 0.1 to 0.4. The suggested seismic fragility curve by using Korean artificial earthquake can be exploited in a reasonable seismic design reflecting Korean local ground condition.

A probabilistic-Fuzzy model for seismic hazard analysis is developed. The proposed model is able to reproduce both the randomness and the imprecision in conjunction with earthquake occurrences. Results-of this research are (a) membership functions of both peak ground accelerations associated with a given probability of exceedance and probabilities of exceedance associated with a given peak ground acceleration, and (b) characteristic values of membership functions at each location of interest. The proposed probabilistic-fuzzy model for assessment of seismic hazard is successfully applied to the Wasatch Front Range in Utah in order to obtain the seismic maps for different annual probabilities of exceedance, different peak ground accelerations, and different time periods.

강재 교각을 갖는 고가교량은 상부구조가 매우 큰 질량을 갖는 거대구조가 되고 규모가 큰 지진운동 하에서 대단히 큰 관성력을 받게 된다. 따라서 탄소성 동적응답 해석에 의해서 강재 교각의 지진거동을 파악하는 것이 필요하다 . 본 연구에서는, 탄소성 동적응답해석을 위한 합리적인 수치해석방법을 제시하고 이를 바탕으로 강재 교각에 대한 내진성 평가를 수행한다. 1995년 고베 지진 시 손상을 받은 강재 교각과 그 이후 재구축된 교각을 모델로 해서 국부좌굴 이전 소성화의 영향만을 고려한 강재 교각의 지진 거동을 파악한다. 입력지진파는 고베 지진시 관측된 Takatori 지진파이고 이를 가속도 진폭 조정하여 사용한다.

확률론적 방법을 적용하여 국내의 4개 원전 부지의 설계지진을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 방법은, 지금까지 원전 부지의 안전성 분야에서 적용되어 왔던 기존의 확률론적 재해도분석과는 다른 새로운 방법으로서, 기준확률의 분석과 제어지진의 결정을 위한 지진재해도 분해의 두 과정으로 구성된다. 분석에 사용된 지진원과 지진활동 특성값은 기존의 확률론적 지진재해도 분석에 사용되었던 입력자료이다. 이로부터 계산된 기준확률은 스펙트럼 가속도 감쇄식에 크게 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 기준확률1.0$\times$10-5에 대하여, 4개 원전 부지의 제어지진은 평균거리가 13~26kg, 평균 규모가 5.7~6.1 사이에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 값은 단지 현재의 입력자료에 근거하였을 때의 결과로서, 값 자체의 수치적인 의미보다는 전체적인 분석 과정을 검토하고 또한 현재의 입력자료와 새로운 방법이 조합되었을 때 산출되는 결과의 대략적인 수준을 파악하는데 더 큰 의미가 있다.
