Knowing the response of buildings to earthquakes is very important in order to ensure that a structure is able to withstand a given level of ground shaking. Thus, nonlinear dynamic earthquake engineering analyses are unavoidable and are preferable procedure in the seismic assessment of buildings. In order to estimate seismic performance on the basis of the hazard at the site where the structure is located, the selection of appropriate seismic input is known to be a critical step while performing this kind of analysis. In this paper, seismic analysis is performed for a four-story reinforced concrete ISPRA frame structure which is designed according to Eurocode 8 (EC8). A total of 90 different earthquake scenarios were selected, 30 for each of three target spectrums, EC8 spectrum, Uniform Hazard Spectrum (UHS), and Conditional Mean Spectrum (CMS). The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the average maximum Inter-story Drift Ratio (IDR) for each target spectrum. Time history analysis for every earthquake record was obtained and, as a result, IDR as the main measure of damage were presented in order to compare with defined performance levels of reinforced concrete bare frames.

Cognitive radio (CR) is a feasible intelligent technology and can be used as an effective solution to spectrum scarcity and underutilization. As the key function of CR, cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is able to effectively prevent the harmful interference with primary users (PUs) and identify the available spectrum resources by exploiting the spatial diversity of multiple secondary users (SUs). However, the open nature of the cognitive radio networks (CRNs) framework makes CSS face many security threats, such as, the malicious user (MU) launches Byzantine attack to undermine CRNs. For this aim, we make an in-depth analysis of the motive and purpose from the MU's perspective in the interweave CR system, aiming to provide the future guideline for defense strategies. First, we formulate a dynamic Byzantine attack model by analyzing Byzantine behaviors in the process of CSS. On the basis of this, we further make an investigation on the condition of making the fusion center (FC) blind when the fusion rule is unknown for the MU. Moreover, the throughput and interference to the primary network are taken into consideration to evaluate the impact of Byzantine attack on the interweave CR system, and then analyze the optimal strategy of Byzantine attack when the fusion rule is known. Finally, theoretical proofs and simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of analyses about the impact of Byzantine attack strategy on the throughput and interference.

Evaluation of tunnel performance in seismic-prone areas demands efficient means of estimating performance at different hazard levels. The present study introduces an innovative push-over analysis approach which employs the standard earthquake spectrum to simulate the performance of a tunnel. The numerical simulation has taken into account the lining and surrounding rock to calculate the rock-tunnel interaction subjected to a static push-over displacement regime. Elastic perfectly plastic models for the lining and hardening strain rock medium were used to portray the development of plastic hinges, nonlinear deformation, and performance of the tunnel structure. Separately using a computational algorithm, the non-linear response spectrum was approximated from the average shear strain of the rock model. A NATM tunnel in Turkey was chosen for parametric study. A seismic performance curve and two performance thresholds are introduced that are based on the proposed nonlinear seismic static loading approach and the formation of plastic hinges. The tunnel model was also subjected to a harmonic excitation with a smooth response spectrum and different amplitudes in the fully-dynamic phase to assess the accuracy of the approach. The parametric study investigated the effects of the lining stiffness and capacity and soil stiffness on the seismic performance of the tunnel.

In this paper, we study the joint price and power allocation in spectrum sharing macro-femtocell networks. The proposed game theoretic framework is based on bi-level Stackelberg game where macro base station (MBS) works as a leader and underlaid femto base stations (FBSs) work as followers. MBS has fixed data rate and imposes interference price on FBSs for maintaining its data rate and earns revenue while FBSs jointly adjust their power for maximizing their data rates and utility functions. Since the interference from FBSs to macro user equipment is kept under a given threshold and FBSs compete against each other for power allocation, there is a need to determine a power allocation strategy which converges to Stackelberg equilibrium. We consider two cases for MBS power allocation, i.e., fixed and dynamic power. MBS can adjust its power in case of dynamic power allocation according to its minimum data rate requirement and number of FBSs willing to share the spectrum. For both cases we consider uniform and non-uniform pricing where MBS charges same price to all FBSs for uniform pricing and different price to each FBS for non-uniform pricing according to its induced interference. We obtain unique closed form solution for each case if the co-interference at FBSs is assumed fixed. And an iterative algorithm which converges rapidly is also proposed to take into account the effect of co-tier interference on interference price and power allocation strategy. The results are explained with numerical simulation examples which validate the effectiveness of our proposed solutions.

국내에서 내진설계의 중요성이 점차적으로 부각되고 있으며 이에 따라 설계 시 동적 지진해석의 수행빈도가 높아지고 있다. 동적 지진해석을 수행하기 위한 가장 중요한 입력변수 중 한가지는 입력지진파이다. 그러나 현재 국내에서는 지진학적 검토 없이 미국, 일본 등에서 계측된 강진 기록을 입력지진파로 사용하거나 주파수영역에서 생성된 인공지진파를 사용하고 있다. 국외 계측 지진기록은 지진 규모에 따라 변화하는 지속시간과 에너지를 고려할 수 없어서 국내 지진환경에는 적합하지 않으며, 주파수 영역에서 생성되는 설계응답스펙트럼에 맞춤형 인공지진파는 실제 지진기록과 주파수 특성이 상이한 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 입력지진파의 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 시간영역에서 수행되는 응답스펙트럼 맞춤형 인공지진파 알고리즘을 적용하여 입력 지진파를 생성하였다. 생성된 지진파는 계측 지진기록의 고유한 성질인 Non-stationary 특성을 보존하며 동시에 설계 응답스펙트럼과 거의 완벽한 일치성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

잔교식 구조물은 선박을 안전하게 접안하여 화물을 송수신할 수 있는 구조물로서, 포화된 경사지반에 주로 설치된다. 이러한 잔교식 구조물의 내진설계 시 기준서에서는 예비 설계 방법으로 응답스펙트럼해석법을 활용하도록 제시하고 있으나, 현재 포화지반에 관입된 잔교식 구조물의 모델링 방법에 대한 지침은 부족한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 포화지반에 관입된 잔교식 구조물의 내진성능을 평가하기 위해 동적원심모형실험 및 응답스펙트럼해석을 수행하였다. 동적원심모형실험을 위해 잔교식 안벽 말뚝 중 일부 구간(3×3 군말뚝)을 선정하였으며, 지반 포화 여부에 따라 2가지 모델(건조, 포화)로 분류하였다. 이후 실험 모델에 지반 스프링 방법을 적용하여 응답스펙트럼해석을 수행하였다. 실험 및 해석을 비교한 결과, 건조지반 모델 및 액상화가 발생하지 않는 포화지반 모델의 경우 모멘트 차이가 최대 51% 이내로 발생하였으며, 깊이 별 모멘트를 적절히 모사하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 모델의 경우 Terzaghi(1955)가 제시한 수평지반반력상수를 활용하여 모델링을 수행하는 것이 적절한 것으로 판단된다.

This paper investigates the problem of co-tier interference mitigation for dynamic small- cell networks, in which the load of each small-cell varies with the number of active associated small-cell users (SUs). Due to the fact that most small-cell base stations (SBSs) are deployed in an ad-hoc manner, the problem of reducing co-tier interference caused by dynamic loads in a distributed fashion is quite challenging. First, we propose a new distributed channel allocation method for small-cells with dynamic loads and define a dynamic interference graph. Based on this approach, we formulate the problem as a dynamic interference graph game and prove that the game is a potential game and has at least one pure strategy Nash equilibrium (NE) point. Moreover, we show that the best pure strategy NE point minimizes the expectation of the aggregate dynamic co-tier interference in the small-cell network. A distributed dynamic learning algorithm is then designed to achieve NE of the game, in which each SBS is unaware of the probability distributions of its own and other SBSs' dynamic loads. Simulation results show that the proposed approach can mitigate dynamic co-tier interference effectively and significantly outperform random channel selection.

점용접은 자동차 산업에서 차체 구조물의 대표적 접합방법으로서 차량에 피로하중이 작용할 경우 구조물 전체의 파손 발생이전에 점용접부 일부에 조기 피로파손의 발생가능성이 존재한다. 이러한 점용접부의 국부적 파손은 차량 구조물의 동적 반응 및 이에 따른 피로거동의 변화를 야기할 가능성이 존재한다. 따라서 차량과 같이 스펙트럼하중을 받는 구조물의 피로수명 평가를 위해서는 이러한 점용접부의 국부적 파손에 의한 동적 반응의 변화를 고려하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 점용접부의 누적피로손상으로 인한 동적반응의 변화를 고려한 진동피로해석을 수행하였다. 이에 필요한 S-N 선도는 전단 점용접 시험편에 대한 일정진폭 피로시험을 통하여 획득하였다. 또한 스펙트럼하중하의 점용접부의 피로수명은 유한요소해석에 기반한 진동피로해석을 통하여 평가하였다.

Earthquake is a natural disaster accompanied by damage of human and properties caused by the ground motion, crustal movements, faults as well as tidal wave. The earthquake is known to occur mostly in earthquake-prone areas and the Korean Peninsula is known to be relatively safe in terms of geological characteristics. In order to withstand on severe environmental dynamic random load such as an earthquake, the large structure need to be designed to withstand the anticipated seismic tremor. The seismetic design is essential for building structures, bridges, and large structures which is handles explosive gases. Thus, the necessity of earthquake resistant analysis for large structure is growing and the capability of dynamic analysis should be obtained. In this thesis, dynamic responses of a high building(height 60m, width 18) which subjected to random earthquake load are presented which responses are derived using dynamic analysis methods such as response spectrum analysis, mode superposition and direct integration. Each results are also compared to review the merit of each methods.
