원자력발전소(원전)는 운전기준지진(OBE) 초과지진 발생시 안전성 검사와 시험을 위하여 운전을 정지하여야 하는데, 계측된 지진기록의 누적절대속도(CAV)계산 값이 0.16g-sec를 초과하고 OBE 응답스펙트럼을 초과하면 OBE를 초과한 것으로 고려하게 된다. 이 CAV 기준은 발전소의 지진 특성과 구조물의 특성에 따라 다르므로, 발전소에 적합한 CAV 기준을 설정하여야 한다. 국내 원전에 적합한 CAV 기준 값을 설정하기 위하여, 각 방향에서의 지진하중에 일관되게 반응하도록 고안한 원통모양의 아크릴 봉을 조립한 지진손상표시기(SDI)를 제작, 진동대 시험을 통하여 지진의 세기를 평가하고 국내 원전 내진설계에 적용된 CAV값을 계산한 결과0.3~0.5g-sec으로 나타나 OBE 초과기준으로 CAV기준 값(0.16g-sec)의 적용은 충분히 보수적인 값으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 SDI는 발전소 운전원이 OBE 초과 여부를 판단하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 운전 정지 후 원전의 지진 피해도를 정량적으로 판단하여 조치를 취하는 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

On February 6, 2023, Türkiye woke up with a strong ground motion felt in a wide geography. As a result of the Kahramanmaraş, Pazarcık and Elbistan earthquakes, which took place 9 hours apart, there was great destruction and loss of life. The 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes occurred on active faults known to pose a high seismic hazard, but their effects were devastating. Seismic code spectra were investigated in Hatay, Adıyaman and Kahramanmaraş where destruction is high. The study mainly focuses on the investigation of ground motion parameters of 6 February Kahramanmaraş earthquakes and the correlation between ground motion parameters. In addition, earthquakes greater than Mw 5.0 that occurred in Türkiye were compared with certain seismic parameters. As in the strong ground motion studies, seismic energy parameters such as Arias intensity, characteristic intensity, cumulative absolute velocity and specific energy density were determined, especially considering the duration content of the earthquake. Based on the study, it was concluded that the structures were overloaded far beyond their normal design levels. This, coupled with significant vertical seismic components, is a contributing factor to the collapse of many buildings in the area. In the evaluation made on Arias intensity, much more energy (approximately ten times) emerged in Kahramanmaraş earthquakes compared to other Türkiye earthquakes. No good correlation was found between moment magnitude and peak ground accelerations, peak ground velocities, Arias intensities and ground motion durations in Türkiye earthquakes. Both high seismic components and long ground motion durations caused intense energy to be transferred to the structures. No strong correlation was found between ground motion durations and other seismic parameters. There is a strong positive correlation between PGA and seismic energy parameter AI. Kahramanmaraş earthquakes revealed that changes should be made in the Turkish seismic code to predict higher spectral acceleration values, especially in earthquake-prone regions in Türkiye.

음향 비선형성은 재료 물성의 미세한 변화에 민감하기 때문에, 이를 측정하는 비선형 초음파 기술은 재료의 열화나 피로를 평가할 수 있는 기법으로 연구되어 왔다. 하지만 벌크파를 이용하는 일반적인 비선형 초음파 기법은 얇은 판재에 적용하는 것에는 여러 한계가 있다. 이와 같은 경우에는 비선형 Lamb 파의 사용을 생각할 수 있지만, Lamb 파는 벌크파와 매우 다른 전파 특성을 가지고 있어 그 비선형 특성에 대한 별도의 연구를 필요로 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 Lamb 파에서 비선형성에 의해 전파하면서 누적 성장할 수 있는 2차 고조파 모드의 발생 조건을 분석하였으며, 그 결과 네 가지 조건, 즉 (1) phase matching, (2) non-zero power flux, (3) group velocity matching, (4) non-zero out-of-plane displacement 를 제시하였다. 그리고 제시된 조건으로 알루미늄 판재에 대책 실험한 결과 이론 예측과 동일하게 전파 거리에 따라 2차 고조파 성분의 크기와 비선형 파라미터가 증가하였고, Al6061-T6 과 Al1100-H14에서 측정된 상대적인 비선형 파라미터의 비율이 이론적인 비율과 근접함을 보였다.

Investigations of large commercial aircraft impact effect on nuclear power plant (NPP) buildings have been drawing extensive attentions, particularly after the 9/11 event, and this paper aims to experimentally assess the damage and vibrations of NPP buildings subjected to aircraft crash. In present Part I, two shots of reduce-scaled model test of aircraft impacting on NPP building were carried out. Firstly, the 1:15 aircraft model (weighs 135 kg) and RC NPP model (weighs about 70 t) are designed and prepared. Then, based on the large rocket sled loading test platform, the aircraft models were accelerated to impact perpendicularly on the two sides of NPP model, i.e., containment and auxiliary buildings, with a velocity of about 170 m/s. The strain-time histories of rebars within the impact area and acceleration-time histories of each floor of NPP model are derived from the pre-arranged twenty-one strain gauges and twenty tri-axial accelerometers, and the whole impact processes were recorded by three high-speed cameras. The local penetration and perforation failure modes occurred respectively in the collision scenarios of containment and auxiliary buildings, and some suggestions for the NPP design are given. The maximum acceleration in the 1:15 scaled tests is 1785.73 g, and thus the corresponding maximum resultant acceleration in a prototype impact might be about 119 g, which poses a potential threat to the nuclear equipment. Furthermore, it was found that the nonlinear decrease of vibrations along the height was well reflected by the variations of both the maximum resultant vibrations and Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV). The present experimental work on the damage and dynamic responses of NPP structure under aircraft impact is firstly presented, which could provide a benchmark basis for further safety assessments of prototype NPP structure as well as inner systems and components against aircraft crash.
