내진설계는 타 설계의 요구사항, 즉 각 구조부재의 설계강도가 소요강도 이상이어야 한다는 것을 만족해야 하는 동시에 지진발생시 구조물의 항복과정을 규명하여 제시하여야 한다. 이러한 요구사항이 추가되는 이유는 타 하중과는 차별되는 지진하중의 불확실성이다. 이 연구에서는 일반교량을 해석대상교량으로 선정하고 연결부분의 설계를 수행하여 연성파괴메카니즘을 확보하는 과정을 제시하였다. 이와 같은 과정으로부터 구조부재의 강도 증가 또는 지진저감장치 도입 등의 비용증가 없이 타 설계에서 요구되는 구조부재의 강도 이내에서 내진성능을 확보할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

The Ms 7.7 earthquake of Gujarat, India occured early in the morning of January 26, 2001. Subsequent of the earthquake, as a Seismologist at Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources(KIGAM), I have been visited epicentral area here reporting the impressions and initial observations collected during the period of Feb. 07 to 13. The trace of surface faulting was not founded. However the mechanism of the earthquake suggests the indenting Indian plate to the Eurasian plate was the tectonic background of this earthquake. Large casualties compare with the magnitude and focal depth of the event, seems due to the poor construction of the typical ordinary Indian housing structure. The wall and roof of the house are very thick to avoid high temperature of the epicentral region.

2004년 5월 29일 발생한 울진지진에 대해 지진원 상수(지진원기구, 진원깊이, 규모, 지진원 특성 등)를 모멘트텐서 방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 3종류의 지각모델에 대해 지각응답함수를 구하여 분석에 이용하였다. 또한 최적의 지진원 상수값을 분석하기 위해 3종류의 진앙위치를 고려하여 분석하였다. 관측소의 방위각 분포 및 진앙거리에 대해서 결과값에 약간의 영향을 주었다. 6개의 모멘트텐서 성분을 조합하여 분석한 결과 울진지진은 거의 남북방향의 주향을 가진 전형적인 역단층의 운동에 의해 발생되었다. 분석된 지진원 기구는 울진지진 진앙 주변은 동서방향의 압축방향을 가진 지체역학적인 환경을 가지고 있는 것으로 제시하고 있다. 진원깊이는 약 12km의 값을 가지고 있다. 지진원기구는 기존의 연구결과와 유사하나 진원깊이는 다소 차이가 존재하였다. 이러한 차이는 방법론, 자료 종류 또는 지진원 고유의 기하학적 형태 등에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다.

One of the most important issues in structural systems is evaluation of the margin of safety in low and mid-rise buildings against the progressive collapse mechanism due to the earthquake loads. In this paper, modeling of collapse propagation in structural elements of RC frame buildings is evaluated by tracing down the collapse points in beam and column structural elements, one after another, under earthquake loads and the influence of column removal is investigated on how the collapse expansion in beam and column structural members. For this reason, progressive collapse phenomenon is studied in 3-story and 5-story intermediate moment resisting frame buildings due to the corner and edge column removal in presence of the earthquake loads. In this way, distribution and propagation of the collapse in progressive collapse mechanism is studied, from the first element of the structure to the collapse of a large part of the building with investigating and comparing the results of nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHA) in presence of two-component accelograms proposed by FEMA_P695. Evaluation of the results, including the statistical survey of the number and sequence of the collapsed points in process of the collapse distribution in structural system, show that the progressive collapse distribution are special and similar in low-rise and mid-rise RC buildings due to the simultaneous effects of the column removal and the earthquake loads and various patterns of the progressive collapse distribution are proposed and presented to predict the collapse propagation in structural elements of similar buildings. So, the results of collapse distribution patterns and comparing the values of collapse can be utilized to provide practical methods in codes and guidelines to enhance the structural resistance against the progressive collapse mechanism and eventually, the value of damage can be controlled and minimized in similar buildings.

일반설계에서 요구하는 구조물의 안전성은 탄성영역에서 일정수준의 안전계수를 확보하여 만족된다. 그러나 내진설계에서의 안전성은 소성영역에서 구조물의 형상에 따라 특정한 연성파괴메카니즘을 유도하여 확보하도록 요구하고 있다. 그러므로 이러한 안전성은 구조물의 기본설계단계에서 여러 개의 대안을 가지고 비교, 검토를 수행하여 확보되어야 하며 실시설계단계에서 이를 확인하는 작업이 이루어져야 한다. 이 연구에서는 일반도로교량을 대상으로 하여 기본설계와 실시설계에 사용하는 모델을 설정하였으며 양 모델의 동적거동특성인 주기와 모드형상을 비교하고 다중모드스펙트럼해석을 적용하여 파괴메카니즘을 규명하였다. 기본설계와 실시설계에 사용하는 모델로 각각 확인한 파괴메카니즘을 비교하여 기본설계모델의 타당성을 입증하고 실무에 적용할 수 있는 내진해석모델로 제시하였다.

Non-stationary random seismic response and reliability of multi-degree of freedom hysteretic structure system are studied based on the cumulative damage failure mechanism. First, dynamic Eqs. of multi-degree of freedom hysteretic structure system under earthquake action are established. Secondly, the random seismic response of a multi-degree freedom hysteretic structure system is investigated by the combination of virtual excitation and precise integration. Finally, according to the damage state level of structural, the different damage state probability of high-rise frame structure is calculated based on the boundary value of the cumulative damage index in the seismic intensity earthquake area. The results show that under the same earthquake intensity and the same floor quality and stiffness, the lower the floor is, the greater the damage probability of the building structure is; if the structural floor stiffness changes abruptly, the weak layer will be formed, and the cumulative damage probability will be the largest, and the reliability index will be relatively small. Meanwhile, with the increase of fortification intensity, the reliability of three-level structure fortification is also significantly reduced. This method can solve the problem of non-stationary random seismic response and reliability of high-rise buildings, and it has high efficiency and practicability. It is instructive for structural performance design and estimating the age of the structure.

A conventional tuned mass damper (TMD) provides a passive control option to suppress the structures' wind- or earthquake-induced vibrations. However, excessive displacements of the TMD raise concerns in the practical implementation. Therefore, this study proposes a novel TMD designed for and deployed on a high-rise sightseeing tower. The device consists of an integrated two-way slide rail mount and an eddy current damper (ECD) with a stroke control mechanism. This stroke control mechanism allows the damping coefficient to automatically increase when the stroke reaches a predetermined value, preventing excessive damper displacements during large earthquakes. The corresponding two-stage damping parameters are designed with a variable-thickness copper plate to enable the TMD stroke within a specified range. Thus, this study discusses the detailed design schemes of the device components in TMD. The designed two-stage damping parameters are also numerically verified, and the structural responses with/without the TMD are compared. As seen in the results, the proposed TMD yields effective control authority to limit the acceleration response within a comfort level. In addition, this TMD resolves the spatial availability for the damper movement in high-rise buildings by the controllable damping mechanism.

Detailed finite element (FE) analyses of a full-scale four-story steel frame structure, subjected to consecutive 60% and 100% excitations from the JR Takatori records during the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake, are conducted using E-Simulator. The four-story frame was tested at the largest shake-table facility in the world, E-Defense, in 2007. E-Simulator is a parallel FE analysis software package developed to accurately simulate structural behavior up to collapse by using a fine mesh of solid elements. To reduce computational time in consecutive dynamic time history analyses, static analysis with gravity force is introduced to terminate the vibration of the structure during the analysis of 60% excitation. An overall sway mechanism when subjected to 60% excitation and a story mechanism resulting from local buckling of the first-story columns when subjected to 100% excitation are simulated by using E-Simulator. The story drift response to the consecutive 60% and 100% excitations is slightly smaller than that for the single 100% excitation.

Collapse behavior of Mission-Gothic Undercrossing under Northridge earthquake is studied by performing nonlinear time-history analysis and three-dimensional nonlinear finite element method for flared columns. Bridge structural model is characterized as three-dimensional with consideration of columns, superstructures, and abutment conditions. Three components of ground motion, corresponding to bridge's longitudinal, transverse, and vertical direction and their combinations are used to investigate bridge collapse. Studies indicate that bridge collapse is dominantly caused by transverse ground motion and the consideration of three-dimensional ground motion leads to a more accurate assessment. Failure mechanism of flared columns is analyzed applying nonlinear finite element method. Reduction of column capacity is observed due to orientation of flare. Further investigation demonstrates that the effects of flare play an important role in predicting of bridge failure mechanism. Suggestions are offered to improve the performance of bridges during severe earthquake.
