Recently, number of smart material are investigated and widely used in civil construction and other industries. Present study investigates the application of smart semi-active piezoelectric friction damper (PFD) made with piezoelectric material for the seismic control of the horizontally curved bridge isolated with lead rubber bearing (LRB). The main aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of hybrid system and to find out the optimum parameters of PFD for seismic control of the curved bridge. The selected curved bridge is a continuous three-span concrete box girder supported on pier and rigid abutment. The PFD is located between the deck and abutments or piers in chord and radial directions. The bridge is excited with four different earthquake ground motions with all three components (i.e. two horizontal and a vertical) having different characteristics. It is observed that the use of semi-active PFD with LRB is quite effective in controlling the response of the curved bridge as compared with passive system. The incorporation of the smart damper requiring small amount of energy in addition with an isolation system can be used for effective control the curved bridge against the dynamic loading.

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.

최근 대규모의 지진피해로 인해 내진설계에 대한 관심이 높아지면서, LRB(Lead Rubber Bearing), FPS(Friction Pendulum System) 등 다양한 지진격리장치에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서 E-Shape 강재이력댐퍼를 이용한 지진격리장치의 성능 평가를 위해 E-Shape 댐퍼의 동적거동 실험을 수행하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 해석적 연구를 위한 수치모델을 제안하였다. 또한, 제안된 E-Shape 강재이력댐퍼의 수치모델을 6자유도를 가진 5층 건물에 적용하여 LRB 시스템과 이력거동을 비교하여 지진격리성능 평가를 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 제안된 수치모델은 실제 E-Shape 강재이력댐퍼의 동적거동을 적절히 묘사할 수 있으며, E-Shape 강재이력댐퍼는 비선형 거동을 통한 에너지를 적절히 소산시킴으로서 기존 시스템과 비교하여 충분히 지진격리성능을 발휘할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

기존교량의 내진성능개선 및 신설교량의 지진보호에 납-고무 베어링은 좋은 효과를 보여주고 있다. 그러나 납-고무 베어링은 사용상에 있어 문제점이 있으며, 이를 개선하기 위하여 형상기억합금(shape memory alloy)을 이용한 면진장치를 본 연구에서 제시하였다. 3경간 연속 고속도로 강교량의 지진해석을 통하여 납-고무베어링과 고무베어링 및 형상기억합금 와이어와의 조합 면진장치의 지진거동을 비교하였다. 해석결과 형상기억합금 와이어+고무베어링 시스템이 납-고무베어링과 거의 유사한 거동을 보여주었으며, 특히 제시된 면진장치는 상대변위의 제어 및 잔류변형에 있어 기존의 납-고무 베어링에 비해 성능이 우수했다.

Shape memory alloy (SMA)-based Superelasticity-assisted Slider (SSS) is proposed as an engineering solution to practically exploit the well-accepted advantages of both sliding isolation and SMA-based recentering. Self-centering capability in SSS is provided by austenitic SMA cables (or wire ropes), recently attracting a lot of interest and attention in earthquake engineering and seismic isolation. The cables are arranged in various novel and conventional configurations to make SSS versatile for aseismic design and retrofit of structures. All the configurations are detailed with thorough technical drawings. It is shown that SSS is applicable without the need for Isolation Units (IUs). IUs, at the same time, are devised for industrialized applications. The proof-of-concept study is carried out through the examination of mechanical behavior in all the alternative configurations. Force-displacement relations are determined. Isolation capabilities are predicted based on the decreases in seismic demands, estimated by the increases in effective periods and equivalent damping ratios. Restoring forces normalized relative to resisting forces are assessed as the criteria for self-centering capabilities. Lengths of SMA cables required in each configuration are calculated to assess the cost and practicality. Practical implementation is realized by setting up a small-scale IU. The effectiveness of SSS under seismic actions is evaluated using an innovative computer model and compared to those of well-known Isolation Systems (ISs) protecting a reference building. Comparisons show that SSS seems to be an effective IS and suitable for earthquake protection of both structural and non-structural elements. Further research aimed at additional validation of the system are outlined.

The seismic excitation test results of an isolated test structure for artificial time history excitation are summarized for structural modeling of the isolated structure and isolation bearing. Based on the actual dynamic behaviors and the seismic responses of the test model, linear and bilinear models for isolators are suggested. Seismic analyses are performed and compared with those of the seismic tests. The developed bilinear model is well applicable only to large shear strain area of isolators.

내진기술의 한 방안으로서 지진격리받침을 설치하여 지진력을 감소시키고, 지진피해를 최소화하고자 하는 연구가 계속되고 있다. 이와 같은 지진격리시스템의 설계 및 시공을 위해서는 먼저 지진격리받침의 제작시 지진격리받침의 균일한 품질유지 및 내진에 대한 성능검증이 뒤따라야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 지진격리받침인 납-적층고무받침(LRB)와 적층고무받침(RB)의 전단특성 평가시험을 실시하였으며. 온도변화에 따른 전단특성 변화를 파악하기 위해 온도의존성 시험도 실시하였다. 시험후 측정값을 설계 기준값과 비교하여 전단성능에서의 오차를 조사하고, 이를 도로교 설계기준의 허용한계와 비교 분석하였다. 시험결과 지진격리받침의 상당수가 도로교 설계기준의 허용한계를 넘거나 근접해 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 공용중에 전단특성을 변화시키는 온도변화에 의한 영향도 매우 큰 것으로 파악되었는데, 제작 초기의 품질오차가 이런 영향과 중첩된다면 처음 설계값보다 50% 이상 큰 전단강성 변화를 보일 가능성도 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, based on shaking table test results on a seismically isolated bridge model, an inelastic numerical model is refined by using Bouc-Wen model representing the hysteretic behavior of isolators. Seismic responses of isolated bridges are numerically investigated varying with relative stiffness ratios, which is a ratio of the effective stiffness of isolator to the lateral stiffness of bridge pier. From the results, it is found that an adequate range of relative stiffness ratio could be defined for seismic design of isolated bridges without considering the flexibility of piers.

The gap provided between adjacent structures in the metropolitan cities is mostly narrow due to architectural and financial issues. Consequently, structural pounding occurs between adjacent structures during earthquakes. It causes damages, ranging from minor local to more severe ones, especially in the case of seismically isolated buildings, due to their higher displacements. However, due to the increased flexibility of isolated buildings, the problem could become more detrimental to such structures. The effect of the seismic pounding of moat walls on the response of buildings isolated by Triple Friction Pendulum Bearing (TFPB) is investigated in this paper. To this propose, two symmetric three-dimensional models, including single-story and five-story buildings, are modeled in Opensees. Nonlinear Time History Analyses (NTHA) are performed for seismic evaluation. Also, five different sizes with four different sets of friction coefficients are considered for base isolators to cover a whole range of base isolation systems with various geometry configurations and fundamental period. The results are investigated in terms of base shear, buildings' drift, and roof acceleration. Results indicated a profound effect of poundings against moat walls. In situations of potential pounding, in some cases, the influence of impact on seismic responses of multistory buildings was more remarkable.
