  • In the present study, the seismic performance of structural walls with boundary elements confined by conventional tie hoops and steel fiber concrete (SFC) was investigated. Cyclic lateral loading tests on four wall specimens under constant axial load were performed. The primary test parameters considered were the spacing of boundary element transverse reinforcement and the use of steel fiber concrete. Test results showed that the wall specimen with boundary elements complying with ACI 318-11 21.9.6 failed at a high drift ratio of 4.5% due to concrete crushing and re-bar buckling. For the specimens where SFC was selectively used in the plastic hinge region, the spalling and crushing of concrete were substantially alleviated. However, sliding shear failure occurred at the interface of SFC and plain concrete at a moderate drift ratio of 3.0% as tensile plastic strains of longitudinal bars were accumulated during cyclic loading. The behaviors of wall specimens were examined through nonlinear section analysis adopting the stress-strain relationships of confined concrete and SFC.

  • This paper presents some shaking table tests conducted on a 1/4-scaled model with 5-story steel reinforced concrete (SRC) spatial frame with irregular section columns under a series of base excitations with gradually increasing acceleration peaks. The test frame was subjected to a sequence of seismic simulation tests including 10 white noise vibrations and 51 seismic simulations. Each seismic simulation was associated with a different level of seismic disaster. Dynamic characteristic, strain response, acceleration response, displacement response, base shear and hysteretic behavior were analyzed. The test results demonstrate that at the end of the loading process, the failure mechanism of SRC frame with irregular section columns is the beam-hinged failure mechanism, which satisfies the seismic code of "strong column-weak beam". With the increase of acceleration peaks, accumulated damage of the frame increases gradually, which induces that the intrinsic frequency decreases whereas the damping ratio increases, and the peaks of acceleration and displacement occur later. During the loading process, torsion deformation appears and the base shear grows fast firstly and then slowly. The hysteretic curves are symmetric and plump, which shows a good capacity of energy dissipation. In summary, SRC frame with irregular section columns can satisfy the seismic requirements of "no collapse under seldom earthquake", which indicates that this structural system is suitable for the construction in the high seismic intensity zone.

  • 지난 이십여 년 간 우리나라 연안에 집중적으로 거치된 직립식 방파제의 내진 성능을 검토하기 위한 예비 수치모의를 포항, 경주, Hachinohe1, Hachinohe2, Ofunato, 인공지진파를 대상으로 수행하였다. 예비 수치모의 결과 지진으로 인한 전단파가 지반을 통해 전파되는 과정에서 지진에너지가 장주기 대역으로 이동한 Hachinohe2의 경우 항 외곽시설의 활동량이 상당하다는 것을 확인하였다. 지진으로 인한 전단파는 항만시설이 거치된 지표방향으로 증폭되며, 지진에너지의 상당부분은 장주기 대역으로 이동된다. 이 중 장주기 대역으로 이동되는 현상은 지반의 점성 혹은 내부 마찰에 기인하며, 전단파 증폭은 구속 응력의 감소로 인해 지표면 방향으로 감소하는 전단계수와 내습하는 전단파 횟수 누적에 따른 지반 강도 감소에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다(Das, 1993). 이러한 인식에서 본고에서는 먼저 전단파 횟수 누적에 따른 전단계수의 감소의 기술이 가능한 Hardin과 Drnevich(1972) 모형과 파동방정식에 기초하여 수치모형을 구성하고, 이어 전단파 횟수 누적에 따른 전단계수의 감소가 전단파 전파과정에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 이 과정에서 비선형 응력-변형률 관계를 설명하기 위해 $Newmark-{\beta}$ 방법과 수정 Newton-Raphson 방법을 차용하였다(Chopra, 1995). 모의결과 전단파가 지표면으로 전파되면서 상당한 확률 질량이 상대적으로 큰 진폭과 장주기 쪽으로 이동하는 것을 확연하게 확인할 수 있었다.
