응답변위법에서 이용되는 동지반강성계수의 적절한 평가법에 대한 제안을 하였다. 현재까지의 지진피해조사 및 장기간의 지진관측사례는 지반이 공진할 때의 변형모드가 지중구조물의 피해에 가장 직접적으로 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 지중구조물의 축방향의 지반의 변형모드와 그 타월 진동수를 특정하여 동지반강성계수를 평가했다. 동지반강성계수는 지반의 공진상태를 상정하고 있기 때문에 결과로써 지진파의 축방행 파장의 영향을 받지 않고, 관상구주물의 반경과 표층두께의 비, 표층두께에 대한 구조물의 매설위치, 표층지반과 기반의 임피단스비 라고 하는 3개의 무차원 변수에 의해 표현된다.

For seismic design of a vertical shaft, three-dimensional Finite Element (FE) analyses were performed to evaluate the accurate response of a vertical shaft and to apply a Response Displacement Method (RDM). Special attention is given to the evaluation of seismic base and response displacement of surrounding soil, estimation of load and loading method. Based on the result, it was found that shear wave velocity of seismic base greater than 1500m/s was appropriate for the seismic design. It was also found that double cosine method which evaluates a response displacement of surrounding soil was most appropriate to consider the characteristic of multi-layered soil. Finally, shape effect of the structure was considered to clarify the dynamic behavior of vertical shaft and it would be more economical vertical shaft design when a vertical shaft was analyzed by using RDM.

In seismic response analysis of building structures, the input ground accelerations have considerable effect on the nonlinear response characteristics of structures. The characteristics of soil and the locality of the site where those ground motions were recorded affect on the contents of earthquake waves. Therefore, it is difficult to select appropriate input ground motions for seismic response analysis. This study describes a generation of artificial earthquake wave compatible with seismic design spectrum, and also evaluates the seismic response values of multistory reinforced concrete structures by the simulated earthquake motions. The artificial earthquake wave are generated according to the previously recorded earthquake waves in past major earthquake events. The artificial wave have identical phase angles to the recorded earthquake wave, and their overall response spectra are compatible with seismic design spectrum with 5% critical viscous damping. The input ground motions applied to this study have identical elastic acceleration response spectra, but have different phase angles. The purpose of this study is to investigate their validity as input ground motion for nonlinear seismic response analysis. As expected, the response quantifies by simulated earthquake waves present better stable than those by real recording of ground motion. It was concluded that the artificial earthquake waves generated in this paper are applicable as input ground motions for a seismic response analysis of building structures. It was also found that strength of input ground motions for seismic analysis are suitable to be normalize as elastic acceleration spectra.
