연구목적: 최근에는 지진에 대한 안정성을 위해 면진 또는 면진과 내진을 병용하는 추세로 가고 있는데, 신축할 중 저층 RC 구조물에 콘크리트 구 기초(CSF)를 설치하는 형태의 시스템을 사용할 때 기초로 사용할 콘크리트 구의 할열특성을 파악하고자 한다. 연구방법: 압축강도 60Mpa인 고강도 콘크리트 구의 할열강도를 알기 위하여 다양한 실험을 수행하고, 표준 실린더 공시체의 할열강도에 대한 구 공시체의 할열강도 비 및 구의 직경변화에 따른 치수효과 등을 실험적으로 구하고자 한다. 연구결과: 150mm 구 공시체의 할열강도는 $150mm{\times}150mm$, $150mm{\times}300mm$의 원주형 공시체 보다 작을 것으로 예상했으나, 실험결과는 각각 3.8%, 13.7% 큰 4.39Mpa로 나타났는데 이는 구 공시체의 점하중과 원주형 공시체의 선하중에 대한 내력작용이 다르기 때문이라 판단된다. 결론: 원주형 공시체에 대한 할열 인장강도는 많은 연구가 진행되어 표준화된 방법이 있으나, 구 공시체의 할열강도에 대한 연구는 보고된 바가 거의 전무하여 본 연구에서는 직경 50mm~150mm의 할열강도 특성을 파악하고, 그 방법을 확립하여 콘크리트 구의 할열강도 및 관련 연구에 대한 기본 자료를 제공하고자 한다.

사장교에 발생하는 지진에 의한 진동을 감소시키기 위해 추가적인 능동/반능동 제어장치를 부착한 LRB-기반 복합 기초격리 시스템에 대한 논문이다. 복합 기초격리 시스템은 제어장치가 다중으로 작동하기 때문에 LRB가 설치된 교량 시스템과 같은 수동형 기초격리 시스템에 비해 제어 성능이 뛰어나다. 본 논문에서는, LQG 알고리듬에 의해 제어되는 능동형 유압식 가력기와 clipped 최적제어에 의해 제어되는 반능동형 자기유변 유체 (MR) 감쇠기를 추가적인 제어장치로 고려하여 추가적인 응답 감소 효과를 검토하였다. 이를 위해, 미국토목학회의 1단계 벤치마크 사장교에 LRB를 설치한 교량을 고려하였다. 수치해석 결과를 통해, 모든 LRB-기반 복합 기초격리시스템이 구조물의 응답을 효과적으로 감소시킴을 확인하였다. 또한, MR 감쇠기를 채택한 복합 기초격리 시스템은 구조물 강성의 불확실성에 대해 강인성을 보였지만 유압식 가력기를 채택한 경우에는 강인성이 부족함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 반능동형 추가 제어장치를 채택한 복합 기초격리 시스템의 대형 토목구조물에 대한 적용가능성이 제어 성능 및 강인성 면에서 분명하게 검증되었다.

This study proposes an intelligent semi-active isolation system combining a variable-stiffness control device and ground motion characteristic prediction. To determine the optimal control parameter in real-time, a genetic algorithm (GA)-fuzzy control law was developed in this study. Data on various types of ground motions were collected, and the ground motion characteristics were quantified to derive a near-fault (NF) characteristic ratio by employing an on-site earthquake early warning system. On the basis of the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and the derived NF ratio, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) was developed. The control parameters were optimized using a GA. To support continuity under near-fault and far-field ground motions, the optimal control parameter was linked with the predicted PGA and NF ratio through the FIS. The GA-fuzzy law was then compared with other control laws to verify its effectiveness. The results revealed that the GA-fuzzy control law could reliably predict different ground motion characteristics for real-time control because of the high sensitivity of its control parameter to the ground motion characteristics. Even under near-fault and far-field ground motions, the GA-fuzzy control law outperformed the FPEEA control law in terms of controlling the isolation layer displacement and the superstructure acceleration.

This paper presents an analysis of nonlinear response of the seismically isolated structure against earthquake excitation to evaluate isolation performances of a rubber bearing. In the analysis of the vibration of building, the building is modeled by lumped mass system where the restoring force is considered as linear, bilinear and trilinear. Fundamental equations of motion are derived for the base isolated structure, and hysteretic and nonlinear-elastic characteristics are considered for a numerical calculation. The excitation levels are magnified fur the recorded strong earthquake motions in order to examine dynamic stability of the structure. Seismic responses (of the building are compared fur the each restoring force type. As a result, it is shown that the effect of the motion by the nonlinear response of the building is comparatively not so large from a seismic design standpoint. The responses of the isolated structures reduce sufficiently and controled the motion of the building well in a practical range. By increasing the acceleration of the earthquake, the yielding of the farce was occurred in the concrete and steel frame, which shows the necessity of the exact nonlinear dynamic analysis.

최근 들어 지진발생 빈도의 증가와 더불어 초고층 빌딩, 장대교량 등과 같은 대형구조물의 경량화, 유연화로 인해 발생하는 구조물의 과도한 동적거동을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 제진시스템의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진으로부터 구조물을 보다 효과적으로 보호하기 위해 자기장에 의해 역학적 성질을 변화시킬 수 있는 제어가 가능한 지능형재료인 자기민감 고무(Magneto-Sensitive Rubber)를 이용한 반 능동 기초격리 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 기초격리 시스템은 기존의 LRB(Lead-Rubber Bearing) 시스템과의 비교 분석을 통해 면진성능을 평가하였으며 이를 위해 몇 가지 역사적 지진들을 이용수치해석을 수행하였다. 제안된 자기민감 고무를 이용한 반 능동 기초격린 시스템은 기존의 수동 시스템보다 기초전단력이나 상부구조물에 가속도 전달을 차단함과 동시에 기초변위를 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 그러므로 자가민감 고무를 이용한 반 능동 기초격리 시스템은 지진으로부터 구조물을 효과적으로 보호할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Seismic isolator system is one of the most widely used base isolation system in order to control the vibration of structure against earthquake excitation. The evaluation of vulcanization time in molding the rubber bearing is very important for both proper ability of isolator and efficiency of manufacture. This paper deals with experimental measurement of temperature of isolator with senor inside in it, and compared with the result of FEA in order to evaluate the vulcanization time. Properties of rubber bearing which is used in the FEA are obtained by controlling the specific heat of rubber. With the obtained properties of rubber, the isolator is analysed by FEA. As a result, an appropriate analytical vulcanization time is obtained. This time is regarded as an appropriate temperature, which is used to effective manufacture.

Seismic isolation systems are essentially designed to preserve structural safety, prevent occupants injury and properties damage. An active saturated LMI-based control design is proposed to attenuate seismic disturbances in base-isolated structures under saturation actuators. Using a mathematical model of an eight-storied building structure, an active control algorithm is designed. Performance evaluation of the controller is carried out in a simplified model version of a benchmark building system, which is recognized as a state-of-the-art model for numerical experiments of structures under seismic perturbations. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust with respect to model and seismic perturbations. Finally, the performance indices show that the proposed controller behaves satisfactorily and with a reasonable control effort.

Over the past few decades, seismic retrofitting of structural systems has been significantly improved by the adoption of various methods such as FRP composite wraps, base isolation systems, and passive/active damper control systems. In parallel with this trend, probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) for structural and nonstructural components has become necessary for risk mitigation and the achievement of reliable designs in performance-based earthquake engineering. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect on piping fragility at T-joints due to seismic retrofitting of structural systems with passive energy-dissipation devices (i.e., linear viscous dampers). Three mid-rise building types were considered: without any seismic retrofitting; with distributed damper systems; with optimal placement of dampers. The results showed that the probability of piping system failure was considerably reduced in a Multi Degree of Freedom (MDOF) building retrofitted with optimal passive damper systems at lower floor levels. This effect of damper systems on piping fragility became insignificant as the floor level increased.

As a practical and effective seismic resisting technology, the base isolation system has seen extensive applications in buildings and bridges. However, a few problems associated with conventional lead-rubber bearings have been identified after historical strong earthquakes, e.g., excessive permanent deformations of bearings and potential unseating of bridge decks. Recently the applications of shape memory alloys (SMA) have received growing interest in the area of seismic response mitigation. As a result, a variety of SMA-based base isolators have been developed. These novel isolators often lead to minimal permanent deformations due to the self-centering feature of SMA materials. However, a rational design approach is still missing because of the fact that conventional design method cannot be directly applied to these novel devices. In light of this limitation, a displacement-based design approach for highway bridges with SMA isolators is proposed in this paper. Nonlinear response spectra, derived from typical hysteretic models for SMA, are employed in the design procedure. SMA isolators and bridge piers are designed according to the prescribed performance objectives. A prototype reinforced concrete (RC) highway bridge is designed using the proposed design approach. Nonlinear dynamic analyses for different seismic intensity levels are carried out using a computer program called "OpenSees". The efficacy of the displacement-based design approach is validated by numerical simulations. Results indicate that a properly designed RC highway bridge with novel SMA isolators may achieve minor damage and minimal residual deformations under frequent and rare earthquakes. Nonlinear static analysis is also carried out to investigate the failure mechanism and the self-centering ability of the designed highway bridge.

An innovative multi-story Semi-Active Tuned Mass Damper (SATMD) building system is proposed to control seismic response of existing structures. The application of adding new stories as large tuned mass and semi-active (SA) resettable actuators as central features of the control scheme is derived. For the effective control of the structures, the optimal tuning parameters are considered for the large mass ratio, for which a previously proposed equation is used and the practical optimal stiffness is allocated to the actuator stiffness and rubber bearing stiffness. A two-degree-of freedom (2-DOF) model is adopted to verify the principal efficiency of the suggested structural control concept. The simulations for this study utilizes the three ground motions, from SAC project, having probability of exceedance of 50% in 50 years, 10% in 50 years, and 2% in 50 years for the Los Angeles region. 12-story moment resisting frames, which are modified as '12+2' and '12+4' story structures, are investigated to assess the viability and effectiveness of the system that aims to reduce the response of the buildings to earthquakes. The control ability of the SATMD scheme is compared to that of an uncontrolled and an ideal Passive Tuned Mass Damper (PTMD) building system. From the performance results of suggested '12+2' and '12+4' story retrofitting case studies, SATMD systems shows significant promise for application of structural control where extra stories might be added.
