The purpose of this study is to experimentally evaluate the effect of improving seismic performance by applying the details of seismic reinforcement to the reinforced concrete frame with non-seismic details while maintaining the original opening shape. In this study, based on CF specimens with specific seismic details, a total of four full scale specimens were designed and fabricated. The main variables are the width and spacing of steel dampers installed in the upper and lower parts of seismic reinforcement details, and the presence or absence of torsion springs installed in the hinges. As a result of the test, it was evaluated to be helpful for seismic retrofit and opening isolation of steel dampers installed at the upper and lower parts of the seismic reinforcement details and torsion springs installed at the joints. In particular, CFR2S specimens with torsion springs showed the best performance in terms of strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity with increasing displacement angle.

In this study a base-isolated liquid storage tank subjected to seismic ground motion is numerically simulated on frequency , domain considering three-dimensional liquid-structure-soil interaction. A hybrid formulation which combines the versatility of finite elements for tank structure and the efficiency of boundary elements for liquid and soil region is adopted for efficient modeling. The base-isolation system using the effective stiffness and damping ratio is also included in this formulation. in order to demonstrate the accuracy and validity of the developed solution the numerical results were compared with the reference solutions in each interaction problem. The effects of the liquid filling ratio and the stiffness of base-isolation system on the behavior of the liquid storage tanks are analyzed.

This paper investigates the effectiveness of widely used identification methods to identify the response of seismically isolated structures supported on bearings with bilinear behavior. The paper shows that while both time domain and frequency domain methods predict with high accuracy the modal characteristics of structures isolated by linear isolation system, their performance degrades appreciably when the isolation system exhibits bilinear behavior even when its strength assumes moderate values (say 5% of the weight). The paper also shows that the natural period of isolated structure that results from bilinear isolation systems can be satisfactorily predicted with wavelet analysis.

In order to investigate the ways to enhance the seismic performance of APR1400 seismic fragile equipment by direct design changes, four equipment such as Reactor Vessel Support, Integrated Head Assembly, Remote Shutdown Console, and Pressurizer are reviewed using information of the main dimensions, seismic stress evaluation results, design FRS, etc. in this paper. In addition to the direct reinforcement of equipments, the feasibility of seismic isolation for the safety related cabinet is also investigated and the actual adaption plan of a commercial spring-damper system is briefly reviewed.

The relative displacement of a piping system installed between isolated and nonisolated structures in a severe earthquake might be larger when without a seismic isolation system. As a result of the relative displacement, the seismic risks of some components in the building could increase. The possibility of an increase in seismic risks is especially high in the crossover piping system in the buildings. Previous studies found that an elbow which could be ruptured by low-cycle ratcheting fatigue is one of the weakest elements. Fatigue curves for elbows were suggested based on component tests. However, it is hard to find a quantitative evaluation of the ultimate state of piping elbows. Generally, the energy dissipation of a solid structure can be calculated from the relation between displacement and force. Therefore, in this study, the ultimate state of the pipe elbow, normally considered as failure of the pipe elbow, is defined as leakage under in-plane cyclic loading tests, and a failure estimation method is proposed using a damage index based on energy dissipation.

The seismic behavior of a rectangular liquid container with high damping laminated rubber bearing is investigated through the scaled model tests. The results are compared with those for non-isolated model, and those by analytical methods. It is shown that the optimum dynamic properties of isolation system can reduce the acceleration response in the superstructure significantly and prevent the amplification of sloshing height.

원자력발전소에 지진격리장치를 설치하면 지진에 의한 하중을 지진격리장치가 담당하면서 설치 전보다 큰 변위가 발생하게 될 것으로 예상되며, 변위증가에 따라 일부 설비의 지진리스크가 증가될 가능성이 있다. 특히 지진격리된 구조물과 일반 구조물을 연결하는 설비인 배관 시스템의 경우 지진리스크가 크게 증가될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 원자력발전소 배관 시스템의 취약부위인 강재 배관 Tee의 한계상태를 누수로 정의하고 면내반복가력시험을 수행하였다. 강재 배관 Tee의 모멘트와 변형각은 기존의 센서를 이용한 계측이 어려우므로 이미지 신호를 이용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구에서는 3인치 강재 배관 Tee의 모멘트와 변형각의 관계를 이용한 누수 선도 및 저주기 피로 곡선들을 제시하였다.

Base isolation technologies have been proven to be very efficient in protecting structures from seismic hazards during experimental and theoretical studies. In recent years, there have been more and more engineering applications using base isolators to upgrade the seismic resistibility of structures. Optimum design of the base isolator can lessen the undesirable seismic hazard with the most efficiency. Hence, tracing the nonlinear behavior of the base isolator with good accuracy is important in the engineering profession. In order to predict the nonlinear behavior of base isolated structures precisely, hundreds even thousands of degrees-of-freedom and iterative algorithm are required for nonlinear time history analysis. In view of this, a simple and feasible exact formulation without any iteration has been proposed in this study to calculate the seismic responses of structures with base isolators. Comparison between the experimental results from shaking table tests conducted at National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering in Taiwan and the analytical results show that the proposed method can accurately simulate the seismic behavior of base isolated structures with elastomeric bearings. Furthermore, it is also shown that the proposed method can predict the nonlinear behavior of the VCFPS isolated structure with accuracy as compared to that from the nonlinear finite element program. Therefore, the proposed concept can be used as a simple and practical tool for engineering professions for designing the elastomeric bearing as well as sliding bearing.

본 연구에서는 원전기기의 내진안전성을 향상시키기 위한 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 원전 격납건물과 유사한 진동수 특성을 가지는 구조물을 제작하여 실험에 사용하였으며 구조물 내부에 설치된 기기를 모사 하기 위하여 면진장치가 설치된 강체블럭을 층바닥에 설치하였다. 주파수 특성이 상이한 3종류의 지진파를 이용하여 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 면진장치로는 천연고무베어링(NRB)과 고감쇠고무베어링(HDRB)을 사용하여 고무의 감쇠특성에 따른 면진기기의 효율성을 분석하였다. 또한 입력지진동의 주파수 특성에 따라 적절한 면진장치의 기기면진효과를 평가하였다. 실험결과 적절한 면진장치를 사용함으로써 기기의 지진응답을 크게 줄일 수 있으며 지진에 대한 안전성을 향상키킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
