  • 본 연구에서는 저층 조적채움벽 철근콘크리트 골조 구조물의 내진보강 전과 후에 대하여 강제 진동 실험과 상시 진동 계측을 수행하였으며 시스템 식별과정을 통하여 구조물의 동특성을 구하고 해당 구조물과 유사한 동특성을 보이는 해석 모델을 만들었다. 시스템 식별 결과 댐퍼가 설치된 x방향의 감쇠비가 증가되었으며, 해석 모델과 비교한 결과 추가 설치된 부재들(전단벽과 댐퍼)의 유효 강성은 부재의 총단면 강성의 50%만이 발현되어 해당 부재들이 기존의 구조물이나 부재와 완전히 일체화되지는 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 추가 설치된 기초의 y방향 구속조건을 핀으로 하여야 동특성을 일치시킬 수 있었는데, 이는 새로운 기초가 설치되며 해당 지질의 특성이 변화되었기 때문으로 보인다.

  • 지진으로 인한 철도 고가교의 심각한 손상이 발생할 경우 구조물의 복구에 필요한 직접적인 손실과 통행제한에 따른 막대한 사회 간접적 손실이 발생한다. 따라서 철도 고가교 구조물은 적절한 내진성능을 확보하여야 하나, 기존 철도 시설에 대한 내진성능평가 결과 다수의 구조물에 대한 내진보강이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 5개의 고가교 기둥 축소모형을 제작하고, 4개의 기둥에 대하여 기존 보강공법의 단점을 개선한 HT-A 복합플레이트로 기둥을 보강하였다. 축력과 반복횡하중을 동시에 가하는 기둥의 실험을 실시하여 강성, 연성 및 에너지 소산능력 등의 내진성능을 평가한 결과 HT-A 복합플레이트로 보강된 철도 고가교 기둥의 향상된 내진성능을 확인하였다.

  • Mean shear wave velocity of the upper 30m $(V_s30)$ used as the current site classification criterion for determining seismic design ground motions in Korea was established based on the typical depth of site investigations in western US, in which the depth to bedrock is much deeper than that in Korea. In this study, to establish appropriate site classification system for site conditions of Korea, site investigations including in-situ seismic tests to determine shear wave velocity $(V_s)$ were carried out at total 72 sites in Korean peninsula. The mean $V_s's$ to the depths of 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m and 25m together with the $V_s30$ at the testing sites were determined, and the correlation between the mean $V_s$ to a depth shallower than 30m and the $V_s30$ was drawn and suggested for the efficient seismic site classification in Korea. The proposed correlation could be utilized for the seismic design in case of the $V_s$ profiles shallower than 30 m in depth. The correlation in this study, nevertheless, requires further modification by means of the accumulation of various site data in Korea.

  • Tests and theoretical studies for seismic responses of a transmission tower-line system under coupled horizontal and tilt (CHT) ground motion were conducted. The method of obtaining the tilt component from seismic motion was based on comparisons from the Fourier spectrum of uncorrected seismic waves. The collected data were then applied in testing and theoretical analysis. Taking an actual transmission tower-line system as the prototype, shaking table tests of the scale model of a single transmission tower and towers-line systems under horizontal, tilt, and CHT ground motions were carried out. Dynamic equations under CHT ground motion were also derived. The additional P-∆ effect caused by tilt motion was considered as an equivalent horizontal lateral force, and it was added into the equations as the excitation. Test results were compared with the theoretical analysis and indicated some useful conclusions. First, the shaking table test results are consistent with the theoretical analysis from improved dynamic equations and proved its correctness. Second, the tilt component of ground motion has great influence on the seismic response of the transmission tower-line system, and the additional P-∆effect caused by the foundation tilt, not only increases the seismic response of the transmission tower-line system, but also leads to a remarkable asymmetric displacement effect. Third, for the tower-line system, transmission lines under ground motion weaken the horizontal displacement and acceleration responses of transmission towers. This weakening effect of transmission lines to the main structure, however, will be decreased with consideration of tilt component.

  • 최근 전세계적으로 큰 지진이 빈번히 발생하고 있고, 국내에서도 지진 발생 빈도가 높아짐에 따라 노후화된 토목 구조물에 대한 내진 성능 평가 및 구조 건전성 평가의 중요성이 재조명되고 있다. 하지만 국내 기존 댐 수문에 대한 관련 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 댐 수문 내진 성능 평가 및 구조 건전성 평가의 기초자료가 펴는 댐 수문의 통특성 추정을 위하여 댐 수문에 적용할 수 있는 실험기법을 정립하고, 정립된 실험기법을 통하여 두 종류의 댐 수문에 대한 현장 실험을 수행하였다. 동특성 추정에는 모드 해석 방법 중에 하나인 주파수영역분해기법을 이용하였다. 상시진동실험과 강제진동실험을 이용하여 댐 수문의 동특성을 추정함으로써 두 방법의 성능을 비교하였으며, 상시진동실험이 댐 수문의 동특성을 추정하는데 매우 효과적인 방법임을 확인하였다.

  • 지반의 강성도 또는 전단파 속도는 지반의 내진 설계 및 해석에서 중요한 인자 중의 하나이다. 현장 강성도를 측정하기 위한 탄성파 기법은 서로 다른 그만의 장단점을 갖고 있다. 이 연구에서는 데이터의 질과 시험의 수월성을 증진시키기 위해 벤더 엘리먼트의 특성과, 탄성파 기법 중 크로스홀과 탄성파 콘의 장점을 조합하여 새로운 프로브를 개발하였다. 머드포오크(MudFork)로 명명한 이 프로브이 기본 구조는 두 개의 블레이드(blade)로 이루어진 포오크 형태이다. 두 블레이드에 발진자와 감지기 엘리먼트가 각각 장착되었다. 실내 카올리나이트 토조에서 이 프로브가 지반에 관입될 때 야기되는 교란도를 규명하였다. 이 프로브를 인천의 한 연약지반에 일반 시추기를 이용하여 SPT(standard penetration test) 롯드로 관입하고 깊이별 전단파를 계측하였다. 이 계측된 전단파를 실내 시험과 콘 관입시험의 데이터로 검증한 결과 이 프로브는 데이터의 질과 시험의 수월성면에서 탁월한 현장 전단파 계측 장비로 평가된다.

  • The purpose of this study is to propose new hysteretic characteristics of medium- to low-rise RC structures controlled by both shear and flexure. Through previous study, the dual lateral force-resisting system composed of shear and flexural failure members has a new failure mechanism that cooperates to enhance the flexural capacity of the flexural failure member even after the failure of the shear member, and the existing theoretical equation significantly underestimates the ultimate strength. In this study, the residual lateral strength mechanism of the dual lateral force-resisting system was analyzed, and, as a result, an equation for estimating the residual flexural strength of each shear-failure member was proposed. The residual flexural strength of each shear-failure member was verified in comparison with the structural testing results obtained in previous study, and the proposed residual flexural strength equation for shear-failure members was tested for reliability using FEA, and its applicable range was also determined. In addition, restoring-force characteristics for evaluating the seismic performance of the dual lateral force-resisting system (nonlinear dynamic analysis), reflecting the proposed residual flexural strength equation, were proposed. Finally, the validity of the restoring-force characteristics of RC buildings equipped with the dual lateral force-resisting system proposed in the present study was verified by performing pseudo-dynamic testing and nonlinear dynamic analysis based on the proposed restoring-force characteristics. Based on this comparative analysis, the applicability of the proposed restoring-force characteristics was verified.

  • In this paper, it is aimed to determine the seismic behaviour of highway bridges by nondestructive testing using ambient vibration measurements. Eynel Highway Bridge which has arch type structural system with a total length of 216 m and located in the Ayvaclk county of Samsun, Turkey is selected as an application. The bridge connects the villages which are separated with Suat U$\breve{g}$urlu Dam Lake. A three dimensional finite element model is first established for a highway bridge using project drawings and an analytical modal analysis is then performed to generate natural frequencies and mode shapes in the three orthogonal directions. The ambient vibration measurements are carried out on the bridge deck under natural excitation such as traffic, human walking and wind loads using Operational Modal Analysis. Sensitive seismic accelerometers are used to collect signals obtained from the experimental tests. To obtain experimental dynamic characteristics, two output-only system identification techniques are employed namely, Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition technique in the frequency domain and Stochastic Subspace Identification technique in time domain. Analytical and experimental dynamic characteristic are compared with each other and finite element model of the bridge is updated by changing of boundary conditions to reduce the differences between the results. It is demonstrated that the ambient vibration measurements are enough to identify the most significant modes of highway bridges. After finite element model updating, maximum differences between the natural frequencies are reduced averagely from 23% to 3%. The updated finite element model reflects the dynamic characteristics of the bridge better, and it can be used to predict the dynamic response under complex external forces. It is also helpful for further damage identification and health condition monitoring. Analytical model of the bridge before and after model updating is analyzed using 1992 Erzincan earthquake record to determine the seismic behaviour. It can be seen from the analysis results that displacements increase by the height of bridge columns and along to middle point of the deck and main arches. Bending moments have an increasing trend along to first and last 50 m and have a decreasing trend long to the middle of the main arches.

  • Multiple earthquakes that occur during short seismic intervals affect the inelastic behavior of the structures. Sequential ground motions against the single earthquake event cause the building structure to face loss in stiffness and its strength. Although, numerous research studies had been conducted in this research area but still significant limitations exist such as: 1) use of traditional design procedure which usually considers single seismic excitation; 2) selecting a seismic excitation data based on earthquake events occurred at another place and time. Therefore, it is important to study the effects of successive ground motions on the framed structures. The objective of this study is to overcome the aforementioned limitations through testing a two storey RC building structural model scaled down to 1/10 ratio through a similitude relation. The scaled model is examined using a shaking table. Thereafter, the experimental model results are validated with simulated results using ETABS software. The test framed specimen is subjected to sequential five artificial and four real-time earthquake motions. Dynamic response history analysis has been conducted to investigate the i) observed response and crack pattern; ii) maximum displacement; iii) residual displacement; iv) Interstorey drift ratio and damage limitation. The results of the study conclude that the low-rise building model has ability to resist successive artificial ground motion from its strength. Sequential artificial ground motions cause the framed structure to displace each storey twice in correlation with vary first artificial seismic vibration. The displacement parameters showed that real-time successive ground motions have a limited impact on the low-rise reinforced concrete model. The finding shows that traditional seismic design EC8 requires to reconsider the traditional design procedure.
