In 2005, Urban railway seismic design was introduced in Rep. Of Korea, and many studies on seismic performance evaluation and reinforcement methods were conducted. In accordance with the Enforcement Decree of the Earthquake Disaster Countermeasures Act issued in March 2009, during April 2010 to October 2013, some of local governments established detailed evaluation and reinforcement measures for seismic performance of the urban railway underground structure. Afterwards, the seismic performance reinforcement of the existing urban railway structures was conducted for the sections that a long period of used until the end of 2018, and the reinforcement works are carried out by various methods using the previously studied methods. However, various reinforcing materials and construction methods using have been studied, but the classification research on the construction methods currently applied to reinforcement construction of urban railways is insufficient. The purpose of study is to analysis the cases currently applied to seismic reinforcement construction and to show the characteristics of each construction method, the reasons for its application and problems.

Seismic safety of expansion joints for piping systems has been underscored by water pipe ruptures and leaks resulting from the Gyeongju and Pohang earthquakes. Metal bellows in piping systems are applied to prevent damage from earthquakes and road subsidence in soft ground. Designed with a series of corrugated segments called convolutions, metal bellows exhibit flexibility to accommodate displacements. Several studies have examined variations in convolution shapes and layers based on the intended performance to be evaluated. Nonetheless, the research on the seismic performance of complex bellows having multiple corrugation heights is limited. In this study, monotonic loading tests, cyclic loading tests, and fatigue tests were conducted to evaluate the shear performance in seismic conditions, of metal bellows with variable convolution heights. Single- and triple-layer bellows were considered for the experimentation. The results reveal that triple-layer bellows exhibit larger maximum deformation and fatigue life than single-layer bellows. However, the high stiffness of triple-layer bellows in resisting internal pressure poses certain disadvantages. The convolutions are less flexible at lower displacements and experience leakage at a rate related to the variable height of the convolutions in certain conditions. At lower deformation rates, the fatigue life is rated higher as the number of layers increase. It converges to a similar fatigue life at higher deformation rates.

지진, 산사태, 액상화 등의 지질재해 예측을 위한 지역적 지반특성을 규명하기 위해서 지질도 또는 지형도를 이용하여 간접적인 방법이 사용되기도 한다. DEM에서 추출한 경사도는 지반분류 시 하나의 기준으로 사용되어질 수 있고, 이때 DEM의 해상력에 따라 그 결과가 다르게 산출될 수도 있다. 이번 연구에서는 DEM의 해상력에 따라 우리나라 일부지역의 지반분류 결과에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 각기 다른 해상도의 DEM을 적용하여 우리나라 동남부 지형을 경사도 기준으로 지반분류한 후 그 면적차이를 해상도별로 비교한 결과, 지반분류 C 지역의 면적 변화가 가장 뚜렷하였다. $V_s30$ 범위로 분류한 결과에서는 180 m/sec 이하의 지역에서 해상도별로 가장 큰 변화가 있었다. 고해상도에서는 지반분류 B와 E의 지역에서 면적이 저해상도 보다 크게 산출되는 경향이 있었고, 저해상도에서는 지반분류 C와 D 지역의 면적이 고해상도 보다 크게 산출되는 경향이 있었다. 이는 DEM의 해상도가 낮아질수록 각기 다른 지반정보를 함유한 작은 셀이 큰 셀로 만들어지는 과정에서 평균화되는 지반정보가 과대평가 또는 저평가되었기 때문이다. 연구지역 내 시추지역의 지반과 지반분류 결과를 비교하면 해상도별로 78%~52%까지 일치하였고, 고해상도에서 일치율이 더 높았다. 지형의 변화가 심하고 인구나 산업시설이 밀집된 재해 고위험군 지역은 고해상도의 지도를 이용하고, 지형의 변화가 없거나 단단한 지반의 지역은 재해가 상대적으로 작아서 저해상도의 사용으로 자료처리 시간의 효율성을 증대시키는 방안도 생각할 수 있다.

In this study, displacement ductility capacity and plastic hinge regions of reinforced concrete multi-column bent with different transverse reinforcement ratio are investigated. The ductility increases remarkably as transverse reinforcement ratio increase and the multi-column bent loaded along transverse direction is more ductile. The plastic hinge length for special detailing requirements of transverse reinforcement is estimated. For high target ductility, plastic hinge length for confinement should be extended with increased transverse reinforcement ratio. The plastic hinge length of multi-column bent loaded along transverse direction is shorter than that along longitudinal direction, because of the different moment distribution.

본 연구에서는 2020년 산사태가 발생한 곡성지역을 대상으로 무인항공기 사진측량을 통하여 산사태 지역의 범위와 변위를 조사하고 이를 기반으로 산사태에 의한 피해범위를 LS-RAPID에서 분석하였다. LS-RAPID는 지진과 강우의 영향을 반영하는 산사태 시뮬레이션 모델이며, 산사태 운동시작여부를 평가하며 만일 발생 시 토사의 이동, 퇴적 범위, 토사층의 깊이를 예측할 수 있다. 산사태 시뮬레이션에서 중요한 변수 중의 하나는 지중의 활동층의 깊이와 분포이다. 재해현장에서 이런 자료를 신속하고 정량적으로 측정하기 위한 방법으로서 무인항공기를 이용한 측량을 실시하였다. 또한 산사태 토사의 이동과 퇴적을 검증하기 위한 자료도 획득하였다. 매개변수의 추정 시선행연구에서 제시된 값을 참고하여, 재해현장의 피해범위와 규모를 비교하여 매개변수를 추정하여 다른 연구사례에서 이용한 값들과 비교, 분석하였다. 또한, 시뮬레이션의 지형입력자료로서 무인항공기 사진 측량자료에서 생성된 DSM(Digital Surface Model)과 수지지도에서 생성한 DEM(Digital Elevation Model)을 적용한 경우, 시뮬레이션 결과에 영향을 비교, 분석하였다. 결과적으로 DEM보다 DSM을 적용하는 것이 퇴적범위가 크게 확대되지 않으며, 현장을 잘 반영한 결과가 얻어지는 것으로 평가되었다.

In order to examine the characteristics of tsunami run-up heights on impermeable/permeable slope, a numerical wave tank by upgrading LES-WASS-3D was used in this study. Then, the model were compared with existing hydraulic model test for its verification. The numerical results well reproduced experimental results of solitary wave deformation, propagation and run-up height under various conditions. Also, the numerical simulation with a slope boundary condition has been carried out to understand solitary wave run-up on impermeable/permeable slope. It is shown that the run-up heights on permeable slope is 52.64-63.2% smaller than those on the impermeable slope because of wave energy dissipation inside the porous media. In addition, it is revealed that the numerical results with slope boundary condition agreed well with experimental results in comparison with the results by using stair type boundary condition.

Seismic design of newly built bridges can be considered and carried out during construction process according to the revised road bridge design standard issued recently. While for the existing reinforced concrete bridge priers under service before new standard implements, their resistance capacity against lateral seismic loading is inferior. In this research, seismic reinforcing for existing bridge piers by nickel-chrome alloy bar has been analyzed. Based on the established model by MIDAS program, the behaviors of bridge piers including deformation and stress with and without nickel-chrome alloy reinforcing bars have been compared and discussed under lateral seismic loading. And the advantages of using nickel-chrome alloy bar as seismic reinforcement over other materials, such as good performance, good economy etc. have been demonstrated by comparison with other researches. Also the anti-seismic efficiency of nickel-chrome alloy reinforcing bars has been confirmed by MIDAS modeling analysis.

The seismic responses of traffic light poles are investigated using a finite element analysis. Among the traffic light poles, single- and bi-directional traffic light poles are considered since such poles are frequently installed on vehicle roads. For a more detailed investigation, three different lengths of the mast arm are considered for each directional pole. For a time-history analysis, six actual and two artificial earthquakes are considered and applied to each direction of the poles (x and y) to investigate which direction input provides more significant responses due to the unsymmetrical structural shape. Herein, the x and y directions are respectively parallel and perpendicular based on the single mast pole case. From the analysis results, the average maximum displacement response is developed with the x-direction input case for both types of light poles. Also, the bi-directional traffic light poles show a 13% larger response than the single-directional traffic light poles. Even though the y-direction input case produces a smaller response, the response difference between the single- and bi-directional light poles considerably increases by about 60%. The average maximum acceleration responses are almost similar for both types of light poles.

The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the fixed anchorages subjected to the seismic motion for an operating facilities in the actual power plant. Thus, the experimental study was conducted to investigate the load response in the event of an actual seismic to the anchorages of a nonstructural components. Since there are economic and spatial constraints to study nonstructural components that actually have various forms, alternative test specimens of steel frames with mass were built and the shaking table test was carried out. In order to evaluate the dynamic characteristics and seismic performance, the natural frequency of the target structure was identified through the shaking table test and then the load response characteristics of the anchorage were evaluated by generating an artificial seismic effect like actual seismic. Finally, the structural stiffness was reinforced by fixing the steel frame to the test specimen using bolts, thereby reducing the load transmitted to the anchorage. It will be carried out on the reliability verification of the experiments and areas that have not been carried out due to the site conditions through the analytical approach in the future.

According to the Facility Management System (FMS) operated by the Korea Authority of Land & Infrastructure Safety, it is expected that the number of aging facilities that have been in use for more than 30 years will increase rapidly to 13.9% in 2019 and 34.5% in 2929, and end up with a social problem. In addition, with the revision of "Common Application of Seismic Design Criteria" by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security in 2017, it is mandatory to re-evaluate all existing road facilities and if necessary seismic reinforcement should be done to minimize the magnitude of earthquake damage and perform normal road functions. The seismic performance management-decision support technology currently used in seismic performance management practice in Korea only determines the earthquake-resistance reinforcement priority based on the qualitative index value for the seismic performance of individual facilities. However with this practice, normal traffic functions cannot be guaranteed. A new seismic performance management decision support technology that can provide various judgment data required for decision making is needed to overcome these shortcomings and better perform seismic performance management from a road network perspective.
