The correlation identification of the subsurface is a novel electrical prospecting method which could suppress stochastic noise. This method is increasingly being utilized by geophysicists. It achieves the frequency response of the underground media through division of the cross spectrum of the input & output signal and the auto spectrum of the input signal. This is subject to the spectral leakage when the cross spectrum and the auto spectrum are computed from cross correlation and autocorrelation function by Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT, "To obtain an accurate frequency response of the earth system, we propose an improved correlation identification method which uses all phase Fast Fourier Transform (APFFT) to acquire the cross spectrum and the auto spectrum. Simulation and engineering application results show that compared to existing correlation identification algorithm the new approach demonstrates more precise frequency response, especially the phase response of the system under identification.

The result of recent seismic hazard analysis indicates that the ground motion response spectra for Korean nuclear power plant site have relatively large high frequency acceleration contents. In the ordinary seismic fragility analysis of nuclear power plant structures and equipments, the safety margin of design ground response spectrum is directly used as a response spectrum shape factor. The effects of input response spectrum shape on the floor response spectrum were investigated by performing the direct generation of floor response spectrum from the ground response spectrum. The safety margin included in the design ground response spectrum should be considered as a floor response spectrum shape factor for the seismic fragility analysis of the equipments located in a building.

Response spectra of earthquake ground motions are important in the earthquake-resistant design and reliability analysis of structures. The formulation of the response spectrum in the frequency domain efficiently computes and evaluates the stochastic response spectrum. The frequency information of the excitation can be described using different functional forms. The shapes of the calculated response spectra of the excitation show strong magnitude and site dependency, but weak distance dependency. In this paper, to compare the effect of the earthquake ground motion variables, the contribution of these sources of variability to the response spectrum's uncertainty is calculated by using a stochastic analysis. The analytical results show that earthquake source factors and soil condition variables are the main sources of uncertainty in the response spectra, while path variables, such as distance, anelastic attenuation and upper crust attenuation, have relatively little effect. The presented formulation of dynamic structural response in frequency domain based only on the frequency information of the excitation can provide an important basis for the structural analysis in some location that lacks strong motion records.

The spectral representation method is a quick and versatile tool for the generation of spatially variable, response-spectrum-compatible simulations to be used in the nonlinear seismic response evaluation of extended structures, such as bridges. However, just as recorded data, these simulated accelerations require processing, but, unlike recorded data, the reasons for their processing are purely numerical. Hence, the criteria for the processing of acceleration simulations need to be tied to the effect of processing on the structural response. This paper presents a framework for processing acceleration simulations that is based on seismological approaches for processing recorded data, but establishes the corner frequency of the high-pass filter by minimizing the effect of processing on the response of the structural system, for the response evaluation of which the ground motions were generated. The proposed two-step criterion selects the filter corner frequency by considering both the dynamic and the pseudo-static response of the systems. First, it ensures that the linear/nonlinear dynamic structural response induced by the processed simulations captures the characteristics of the system's dynamic response caused by the unprocessed simulations, the frequency content of which is fully compatible with the target response spectrum. Second, it examines the adequacy of the selected estimate for the filter corner frequency by evaluating the pseudo-static response of the system subjected to spatially variable excitations. It is noted that the first step of this two-fold criterion suffices for the establishment of the corner frequency for the processing of acceleration time series generated at a single ground-surface location to be used in the seismic response evaluation of, e.g. a building structure. Furthermore, the concept also applies for the processing of acceleration time series generated by means of any approach that does not provide physical considerations for the selection of the corner frequency of the high-pass filter.

교량의 내하성능 추정 관련 연구에서 단순지지 조건의 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 개발하고 이를 적용한 새로운 단순교의 내하력 평가 모델이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 연속교에 적용하기 위해 연속지지 경간 중 내측 경간의 경계조건을 이상적인 양단 고정 경계조건으로 가정하고, 보의 동적 지배방정식을 이용하여 보 중앙에서의 이론적인 최대 통적 및 정적 연위 산출식과 이로부터 충격계수 이론식을 유도하였다. 이론식을 바탕으로 교량 경간 길이 및 감쇠비에 따른 양단지지 조건의 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 개발하였다. 제안된 충격계수 응답스펙트럼의 적용성을 검증하기 실제공용 중인 연속교를 대상으로 수치해석을 수행하고 실측 데이터와 비교하였다. 해석은 실측 데이터와 동일하게 6경간 연속교에 차량 하중을 이동 재하 하였으며, 연속지지 내부 경간에서 동적응답을 측정하였다. 교량의 진동수는 가속도 응답을 고속퓨리에 변환(FFT)하여 얻었으며, 제안된 응답스펙트럼으로부터 교량의 경간-진동수를 적용하여 충격계수를 도출하였다. 제안된 모델에 의한 충격계수는 실측 충격계수 유사한 결과를 나타냈으며, 양단고정지지 교량의 진동수 기반 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 이용한 방법은 실재 연속교에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In Korea, most nuclear power plants were designed based on the design response spectrum of Regulatory Guide 1.60 of the NRC. However, in the case of earthquakes occurring in the country, the characteristics of seismic motions in Korea and the design response spectrum differed. The seismic motion in Korea had a higher spectral acceleration in the high-frequency range compared to the design response spectrum. The seismic capacity may be reduced when evaluating the seismic performance of the equipment with high-frequency earthquakes compared with what is evaluated by the design response spectrum for the equipment with a high natural frequency. Therefore, EPRI proposed the inelastic energy absorption factor for the equipment anchorage. In this study, the seismic performance of welding anchorage was evaluated by considering domestic seismic characteristics and EPRI's inelastic energy absorption factor. In order to reflect the characteristics of domestic earthquakes, the uniform hazard response spectrum (UHRS) of Uljin was used. Moreover, the seismic performance of the equipment was evaluated with a design response spectrum of R.G.1.60 and a uniform hazard response spectrum (UHRS) as seismic inputs. As a result, it was confirmed that the seismic performance of the weld anchorage could be increased when the inelastic energy absorption factor is used. Also, a comparative analysis was performed on the seismic capacity of the anchorage of equipment by the welding and the extended bolt.

The applications of the electrical transmission line theory to the pressure propagation characteristics in the volume loaded fluid transmission line with step and impulse input wave is demonstrated in this paper. The method is based on the premise that the time response is the inverse Fourier transform of frequency spectrum of the wave which spectrum is a product of frequency spectrum of input pressure wave and system transfer function. The frequency response and transient response of step and impulse input wave in the volume loaded fluid transmission line is analysed by the Laplace transform and inverse Laplace transform with FFT numerical algorithm. The numerical solution of the distributed friction model is compared with the average friction model and the infinite product model. And the result is showed that FFT method may have major advantages for the simulation of fluid circuitary.

In 2016, an earthquake occurred at Gyeongju, Korea. At the Wolsong site, the observed peak ground acceleration was lower than the operating basis earthquake (OBE) level of Wolsong nuclear power plant. However, the measured spectral acceleration value exceeded the spectral acceleration of the operating-basis earthquake (OBE) level in some sections of the response spectrum, resulting in a manual shutdown of the nuclear power plant. Analysis of the response spectra shape of the Gyeongju earthquake motion showed that the high-frequency components are stronger than the response spectra shape used in nuclear power plant design. Therefore, the seismic performance evaluation of structures and equipment of nuclear power plants should be made to reflect the characteristics of site-specific earthquakes. In general, the floor response spectrum shape at the installation site or the generalized response spectrum shape is used for the seismic performance evaluation of structures and equipment. In this study, a generalized response spectrum shape is proposed for seismic performance evaluation of structures and equipment for nuclear power plants. The proposed response spectrum shape reflects the characteristics of earthquake motion in Korea through earthquake hazard analysis, and it can be applied to structures and equipment at various locations.

최근 백령도 해역에서 발생한 규모 4.3에 해당하는 중규모 지진(2011년 6월 17일)으로부터 관측된 지반진동 파형을 이용하여 지진원 기구 및 수평 응답스펙트럼을 분석하였다. 분석결과를 한반도의 응력방향과 비교하였고 또한 국내 원자력 관련 구조물의 내진설계 기준과 국내 일반 구조물 및 건축물 내진설계기준과 각각 비교하였다. 지진원 연구에 이용된 지반진동은 3개 관측소(각 관측소에서 3성분)에서 관측된 전파형에 대해 모멘트텐서 기본식을 이용한 격자탐색법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 지진원기구에서 제시하는 주압축응력 방향은 ENE-WSW 방향으로 기존 한반도 전체의 주 응력방향과 대체로 유사하였다. 원자력 관련 구조물의 내진설계 기준과 국내 일반 구조물 및 건축물 내진설계기준과 각각 비교하였다. 국내 원자력시설물의 내진기준으로 이용되고 있는 Reg. Guide 1.60과 비교한 결과 특히 약 3 Hz 이상의 높은 고유진동수 영역에서 Reg. Guide 1.60 기준보다 높은 값을 보여 주었다. 또한 국내 일반 구조물 및 건축물 내진설계기준인 표준 설계응답스펙트럼을 비교한 결과 약 0.8초 이하의 단주기 영역의 전체 대역(SD 지반조건)에서 자료처리 결과가 기준을 크게 초과하였다. 향후 국내 지진활동 실정에 적합한 내진설계 기준 마련을 위해 관측자료의 질적 향상 및 양적인 축적 등을 통하여 특히 높은 고유진동수 대역에서 수평응답스펙트럼 기준의 보수성을 재고할 필요가 있다.

최근 수행된 우리나라 원전 부지에 대한 지진재해도 해석 결과 작성된 등재해도 스펙트럼에서 고진동수 성분의 지진동이 매우 우세하게 나타나고 있다. 일반적으로 지진취약도 해석에서는 설계 스펙트럼에 내재된 보수성을 평가하기 위해 스펙트럼 형상계수가 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 입력지반운동 스펙트럼의 형상이 변화함에 따른 층응답스펙트럼의 형상 변화를 분석하였다. 이때 입력 스펙트럼으로부터 직접 층응답스펙트럼을 작성할 수 있는 직접법을 사용하였다. 본 연구 결과 건물 내부에 설치된 기기의 취약도해석에서는 입력스펙트럼에 내재된 보수성을 구조물의 고유진동수에 대한 스펙트럼 형상계수가 아닌 기기의 고유진동수에 따른 층응답스펙트럼 형상계수로 고려하는 것이 정확한 취약도해석 결과를 주는 것으로 나타났다.
