The column-tree type steel beam-column connections are commonly used in East Asian countries, including Korea. The welding detail between the stub beam and column is similar to the WUF-W connection; thus, it can be expected to have sufficient seismic performance. However, previous experimental studies indicate that premature slip occurs at the friction joints between the stub and link beams. In this study, for the accurate seismic performance evaluation of column-tree type moment connections, a moment-slip model was proposed by investigating the previous test results. As a result, it was found that the initial slip occurred at about 25% of the design slip moment strength, and the amount of slip was about 0.15%. Also, by comparing the analysis results from models with and without the slip element, the influence of slip on the performance of overall beam-column connections was examined. As the panel zone became weaker, the contribution of slip on overall deformation became greater, and the shear demand for the panel zone was reduced.

Two methods of the nonlinear static pushover analysis have been presented for the performance-based seismic design and evaluation of MDOF continuous bridges. Guidelines for buildings presented in FEMA-273 applying the Displacement Coefficient Method (DCM) and in ATC applying the Capacity Spectrum Method(CSM) have been modified for MDOF bridges. Two methods are compared with the time- history analysis. The lateral load distribution pattern for seismic loads has been examined in the static pushover analysis. The force-based fiber frame finite element has been implemented in the modeling of reinforced concrete piers.

The seismic control effect of reinforced concrete structures with low energy dissipating capacity due to stiffness degradation is investigated through nonlinear time history analysis. The primary structure is idealized as a SDOF system of modified Takeda hysteresis rule and an elasto-perfectly-plastic nonlinear spring is added to represent a hysteretic damping device. Based on statistics of the numerical analysis, equivalent linearization techniques are evaluated, and empirical equations for response prediction are proposed. As a result, estimation of the ductility demand with proposed empirical equations is more desirable than the equivalent linearization techniques. The optimal yield strengths based on empirical equations are significantly different from the optimal yield strength of elasto-perfectly-plastic systems. Also, the results indicate that the reduction effect of the ductility demand is more remarkable for smaller natural periods.

The optimal seismic retrofitting of NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) cabinet structures that contain seismic category 1 relays was studied in this paper. During earthquake event, the failure modes of relays are not appeared in form of structural failure, but are appeared in form of contact chatter of relay. Therefore, the retrofitting of cabinet has to be aimed at the reducing of the structural response, such as acceleration. In this study, the optimal characteristic values of dampers were searched by ${\mu}$-GA (micro-Genetic Algorithm) scheme for several installation patterns. To keep accuracy and efficiency of analysis, the structural models of cabinet were considered as a frame structure. The responses of structure were obtained inform of acceleration response spectra derived from the results of nonlinear time history analysis including damping nonlinearity. The objective function of the optimum procedure was constructed based on the maximum ratio of maximum spectral value and target GERS (General Equipment Ruggedness Spectra). The results show the good improvements of fitness for adequate retrofitting pattern. Especially, the improvements of fitness were remarkable when the values of damping exponents are low.

LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) has been considered as the green energy. Thus, the demand of natural gas is keep increasing around the world, and various studies are actively under progress about the LNG storage tank. To calculate the seismic forces of actual LNG storage tank, FEM model has to include inner tank, outer tank, pile and soil to implement the interaction between structure and ground. So, this paper is represent the study about inner tank model of three cases using Malhotra method in EN 1998-4(European Standard). The results of calculation were compared, and the most suitable to inner tank model was suggested.

2011년에 일본 도호쿠 지방 태평양 해역에서 규모 9.0의 지진이 발생하여 거대한 쓰나미가 일본 본토 해안을 침수시켰다. 이로 인해, 정확한 피해규모가 파악되기 어려울 정도로 막대한 인명과 재산피해를 입게 되었다. 센다이지역의 경우 쓰나미로 인해 해안에 위치한 약 3.8 평방킬로미터의 방풍림이 모두 전복되었고 일부는 유목이 되어 쓰나미와 함께 내륙으로 흘러들어가 곳곳에 퇴적되어 농지를 훼손하고 가옥에 피해를 주었다. 따라서, 본 연구는 유목의 발생과 흐름에 따른 거동을 수치적으로 분석하여, 폭우나 쓰나미와 같은 거대흐름과 산지와 방풍림 등에서 발생하는 유목의 발생과 거동과정을 예측하고, 흐름과 유목 거동에 따른 피해지역을 선별할 수 있는 방법을 구축하기 위한 초기단계로서, 이를 위해 유목의 발생과정의 역학적 모델링을 수치모듈에 적용하였고 이를 활용하여 수치모의를 수행하였다. 흐름분석을 위해 쓰인 모형은 홍수범람 모형인 Nays2D Flood 이며 천수방정식을 기본으로 한다. 쓰나미의 흐름은 해안가의 방풍림지역을 상류단 경계조건으로 하여 발생 당시 관측된 수심변화를 본 모형의 상류단 경계조건으로 입력하였다. 상류단 경계조건에서 쓰나미의 유속은 수심에 따른 파속으로 계산하였다. 본 연구에서는 또한 유목의 발생과 흐름거동을 기존에 개발된 입자법 기반의 유목동역학모형을 활용하여 수치적으로 모델링 하였다. 유목은 유연성이 없는 원주형 강체로 가정하였고 초기설정으로는, 방풍림지역에 30만개의 유목이 하상의 수직방향으로 배치되어있는 것으로 가정하였다. 여기서, 본 연구에서는 쓰나미가 발생하면 흐름에 따른 항력으로 인해 수직방향으로 배치된 유목이 부러지며, 흐름과 함께 흘러가는 현상을 모델링하였다. 본 연구는 폭우나 쓰나미와 같은 거대흐름으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 유송잡물과 유목의 거동을 예측분석하는 기초연구자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 더 나아가 유목의 발생과정까지 수치적으로 재현하는 모델링을 수행하였기 추후에, 산지와 하천에서 발생할 수 있는 유송잡물의 발생과 연행 과정을 보다 세부적으로 예측할 수 있는 기초방법론으로 쓰일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The ground motions of large dimensional structures such as long span bridges at different stations during an earthquake, are inevitably different, which is known as the ground motion spatial variation effect. There are many causes that may result in the spatial variability in seismic ground motion, e.g., the wave passage effect due to the different arrival times of waves at different locations; the loss of coherency due to seismic waves scattering in the heterogeneous medium of the ground; the site amplification effect owing to different local soil properties. In previous researches, the site amplification effects have not been considered or considered by a single-layered soil model only. In this study, however, the ground motion amplification and filtering effects are evaluated by multi-layered soil model. Spatially varying ground motion at the sites with different number of layers, depths, and soil characteristics are generated and the variation characteristics of ground motion time histories according to the correlation of coherency loss function and soil conditions are evaluated. For the bridge system composed of two unit bridges, seismic behavior characteristics are analyzed using the generated seismic waves as input ground motion. Especially, relative displacement due to coherency loss and site effect which can cause the unseating and pounding between girders are evaluated. As a result, considering the soil conditions of each site are always important and should not be neglected for an accurate structural response analysis.

Earthquakes over 5.0 on the Richter scale have recently occurred in Korea, which has led to interest in the seismic safety of structures. If a water storage facility is damaged by an earthquake, the water could leak, and the insufficient water would make fire suppression difficult. Therefore, a water storage facility should satisfy safety requirements for earthquakes. In this study, the seismic performance of a water tank was improved by installing a lead rubber bearing between the foundation and the tank. It designed the lead rubber bearing available to the existed concrete foundation. ANSYS was used for modeling to consider the interaction between the fluid and structure of the tank and the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressure using four seismic waves. In the case of hydrostatic pressure at 2.5 water level, full level, the same stress appeared irrespective of whether the seismic isolation was installed. When hydrostatic pressure and hydrodynamic pressures are applied at the same time, the seismic-isolated water tank showed less seismic force, and the damping ratio was lower than that of general seismic isolation. This occurred because the weight of the water tank is much smaller than the stiffness of the seismic isolation. The result is expected to be used for further research on seismic capacity evaluation for water tanks.
