This paper presents a method of seismic analysis for a cylindrical liquid storage structure on/in horizontally layered half.space considering the effects of the interior fluid and exterior soil medium in the frequency domain. To capture the essence of fluid-structure-soil interaction effects effectively, a mixed finite element with two-field (u, p) approximation is employed to model the compressive inviscid fluid, while the structure and soil medium are presented by the 3-D axisymmetric finite elements and dynamic infinite elements. The present FE-based method can be applied to the system with complex geometry of fluid region as well as with inhomogeneous near-field soil medium, since it can directly model both the fluid and the soil. For the purpose of verification, dominant peak frequencies in transfer functions for horizontal motions of cylindrical fluid storage tanks with rigid massless foundation on a homogeneous viscoelastic half.space are compared with those by two different added mass approaches for the fluid motion. The comparison indicates that the Present FE-based methodology gives accurate solution for the fluid-structure-soil interaction problem. Finally, as a demonstration of versatility of the present study, a seismic analysis for a real-scale LNG storage tank embedded in layered half.space is carried out, and its member forces along the height of the structure are compared with those by an added mass approach developed by the present writers.

A computationally efficient stiffness design method for building structures is proposed in which dynamic soil-structure interaction based on the wave-propagation theory is taken into account. A sway-rocking shear building model with appropriate ground impedances derived from the cone models due to Meek and Wolf (1994) is used as a simplified design model. Two representative models, i.e. a structure on a homogeneous half-space ground and a structure on a soil layer on rigid rock, are considered. Super-structure stiffness satisfying a desired stiffness performance condition are determined via an inverse problem formulation for a prescribed ground-surface response spectrum. It is shown through a simple yet reasonably accurate model that the ground conditions, e.g. homogeneous half-space or soil layer on rigid rock (frequency-dependence of impedance functions), ground properties (shear wave velocity), depth of surface ground, have extensive influence on the super-structure design.

지반-구조물의 상호작용은 구조물의 동적 해석 및 기초 설계에 있어 지대한 영향을 미침에도 불구하고 그 중요성이 간과되어 왔다. 이는 모델링 과정의 복잡성으로 인해 실무자를 위한 적절한 절차가 미비 하다는 점에서 상당부분 그 이유를 찾을 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 구조물의 동적 해석이 필수적으로 요구되는 강진지역인 미국 캘리포니아에 위치한 Cal(IT)2 건물을 대상으로 지반 경계조건을 달리했을 시 해석상의 차이가 어느 정도 나는지를 검토해 보았다. 기초 모델링 기법의 하나인 Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation Model을 Linear Matrix Inequalities Model Reduction 기법을 활용하여 보다 간략하게 사용할 수 있도록 하였다. 이렇게 하여 만들어진 대상 건물의 유한요소 모델과 실재 얻어진 가속도 데이터를 비교하여 제시된 방식을 통해 매우 우수한 해석 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 보였다.

이 연구에서는 기초의 종류에 따라 지반-구조물 상호작용(SSI) 효과가 LNG 저장탱크의 지진응답해석에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 직경 71m인 LNG 탱크와 기반암 위 점토지반의 깊이가 30m인 지반조건을 고려하였다. 그리고 기초형식으로 네 가지(얕은 기초, 말뚝지지 전면기초, 말뚝기초(지표면 접촉식, 부유식)를 고려하였다. 지반의 비선형성은 자유장 지반에 대하여 등가선형화기법으로 고려되었다. 또한, 말뚝기초의 시공과정에서 발생하는 동다짐 효과에 대해서도 분석하였다. SSI 해석을 위하여 진동수영역 해석프로그램인 KIESSI-3D를 이용하였다. 지반-구조물 상호작용 해석을 통해 LNG 저장탱크의 외조 벽체 쉘의 응력과 내조탱크의 밑면전단력 및 전도모멘트를 구하였다. 해석결과로부터 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다: (1) 고정 기초해석에 의한 외조와 내조탱크의 지진응답이 SSI 효과로 인한 지진응답보다 매우 컸다. (2) SSI의 효과가 내조탱크와 외조탱크의 동적응답에 미치는 영향은 기초의 형식에 따라 다르게 나타난다. (3) 말뚝지지 전면기초에서 동다짐 효과에 의한 구조물 응답의 변화는 약 10%로서 무시할 수 없을 정도로 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The soil-structure relative stiffness is a key factor affecting the seismic response of underground structures. It is of great significance to study the soil-structure relative stiffness for the soil-structure interaction and the seismic disaster reduction of subway stations. In this paper, the dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio of an inhomogeneous soft soil site under different buried depths which were obtained by a one-dimensional equivalent linearization site response analysis were used as the input parameters in a 2D finite element model. A visco-elasto-plastic constitutive model based on the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion combined with stiffness degradation was used to describe the plastic behavior of soil. The damage plasticity model was used to simulate the plastic behavior of concrete. The horizontal and vertical relative stiffness ratios of soil and structure were defined to study the influence of relative stiffness on the seismic response of subway stations in inhomogeneous soft soil. It is found that the compression damage to the middle columns of a subway station with a higher relative stiffness ratio is more serious while the tensile damage is slighter under the same earthquake motion. The relative stiffness has a significant influence on ground surface deformation, ground acceleration, and station structure deformation. However, the effect of the relative stiffness on the deformation of the bottom slab of the subway station is small. The research results can provide a reference for seismic fortification of subway stations in the soft soil area.

In-place analysis for offshore platforms is essentially required to make proper design for new structures and true assessment for existing structures, in addition to the structural integrity of platforms components under the maximum and minimum operating loads when subjected to the environmental conditions. In-place analysis have been executed to check that the structural member with all appurtenance's robustness have the capability to support the applied loads in either storm or operating conditions. A nonlinear finite element analysis is adopted for the platform structure above the seabed and pile-soil interaction to estimate the in-place behavior of a typical fixed offshore platform. The SACS software is utilized to calculate the dynamic characteristics of the platform model and the response of platform joints then the stresses at selected members, as well as their nodal displacements. The directions of environmental loads and water depth variations have significant effects in the results of the in-place analysis behavior. The most of bending moment responses of the piles are in the first fourth of pile penetration depth from pile head level. The axial deformations of piles in all load combinations cases of all piles are inversely proportional with penetration depth. The largest values of axial soil reaction are shown at the pile tips levels (the maximum penetration level). The most of lateral soil reactions resultant are in the first third of pile penetration depth from pile head level and approximately vanished after that penetration. The influence of the soil-structure interaction on the response of the jacket foundation predicts that the flexible foundation model is necessary to estimate the force responses demands of the offshore platform with a piled jacket-support structure well.

Foundation plays a significant role in safe and efficient turbo machinery operation. Turbo machineries generate harmonic load on the foundation due to their high speed rotating motion which causes vibration in the machinery, foundation and soil beneath the foundation. The problems caused by vibration get multiplied if the soil is poor. An improperly designed machine foundation increases the vibration and reduces machinery health leading to frequent maintenance. Hence it is very important to study the soil structure interaction and effect of machine vibration on the foundation during turbo machinery operation in the design stage itself. The present work studies the effect of harmonic load due to machine operation along with earthquake loading on the frame foundation for poor soil conditions. Various alternative foundations like rafts, barrette, batter pile and combinations of barrettes with batter pile are analyzed to study the improvements in the vibration patterns. Detailed computational analysis was carried out in SAP 2000 software; the numerical model was analyzed and compared with the shaking table experiment results. The numerical results are found to be closely matching with the experimental data which confirms the accuracy of the numerical model predictions. Both shake table and SAP 2000 results reveal that combination of barrette and batter piles with raft are best suitable for poor soil conditions because it reduces the displacement at top deck, bending moment and horizontal displacement of pile and thereby making the foundation more stable under seismic loading.

본 연구에서는 얕은 연약지반에서 구조물-지반 상호작용의 영향을 받는 구조물의 비탄성거동을 정확히 나타낼 수 있는 유한요소해석 방법을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여, 국내의 지반특성을 반영한 얕은 연약지반과 단자유도 구조물로 2차원 유한요소모델을 구성하고, 다양한 지진파와 지반에 대해 OpenSees 해석프로그램을 이용한 비선형 시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 연약지반의 비선형거동을 반영하기 위하여 일반적으로 흔히 사용되는 등가선형 주파수영역 해석 결과와 비선형 시간이력 유한요소해석 결과의 차이를 검토하였다. 그 비교결과는 등가선형강성을 사용하고 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려하지 않는 주파수영역해석은 단주기영역의 구조물의 응답스펙트럼을 과대평가할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 응답스펙트럼에 대한 지반-구조물 상호작용의 영향은 기초크기와 구조물의 질량의 변화와 큰 관계 없이 일정하게 나타났다.

극 지역용 중력식 해양구조물의 설계시 고려되어야 할 문제중의 하나가 구조물의 유빙(ice)과 충돌시 야기되는 foundation붕괴 현상인데, 본 논문에서는 정적 해석을 위해 sliding 및 bearing failure 현상에 대하여만 연구하였고, 또한 동적 해석을 위하여 soil과ice의 특성으로부터 structure-ice-soil의 상호 작용 운동 방정식을 설정하여 구조물과 ice의변위, 속도, 가속도와 ice force와 soil force의 history를 시간영역 해법으로 풀었다. 한 예제로 Beaufort Sea의 37 feet수심과 granular soil 상태에서 구조물의 최대변위는 0.4 feet이고 가속도는 약 0.3kg이며 이때 구조물이 sliding에 대하여 안전하다는 것이 입증되었다.
