교량 받침장치부는 상부구조의 수직하중을 지지하여 하부구조에 전달하고, 교량의 붕괴사고를 방지하는 역할을 한다. 하지만, 포항지진에 의하여 총 12개 도로교량의 받침장치 몰탈 파손, 받침장치 파손 및 쐐기 손상이 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 지진시 교량 받침장치부의 구조 시스템 특성을 고려하여 교각의 코핑부와 무수축몰탈을 포함한 면진받침 장치 실험체의 전단 거동특성 및 손상모드를 평가하였다. 받침장치 쐐기에 대한 영향을 확인하기 위하여 쐐기 설치 유무를 변수로 설정하였으며, 압축-전단 실험을 실시하여 면진장치의 전단 거동특성과 손상모드를 확인하였다. 또한 유한요소해석을 통하여 받침장치의 거동특성 및 각 구성요소별 손상원인을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 쐐기의 충돌 및 손상 발생 이후 급격한 하중변화가 발생하였으며, 받침장치와 무수축몰탈 경계부를 따라 균열이 발생하였다. 쐐기 유무에 따른 쐐기, 앵커 소켓 및 무수축볼탈의 응력거동을 비교함으로써 지진시 교량받침장치부의 손상원인을 규명하였다.

Recent severe earthquakes in and around the vital public places worldwide indicate the severe vulnerability of ground excitation to be assailed. Reducing the effect of seismic lateral load in structural design is an important conception. Essentially, seismic isolation is required to shield the superstructure in such a way that the building superstructure would not move when the ground is shaking. This study explores the effectiveness, design, and practical feasibility of base isolation systems to reduce seismic demands on buildings of varying elevations. Thus, static and dynamic analyses were conducted based on site-specific bi-directional earthquakes for base-isolated as well as fixed-based buildings. Remarkably, it was discovered that isolators used in low-rise to high-rise structures tend to significantly decrease the structural responses of seismic prone buildings. The higher allowable horizontal displacement induces structural flexibility and ensure good structural health of the building stories. Reinforcement from vertical and horizontal members can be reduced in significant amounts for BI buildings. Thus, although incorporating base isolators increases the initial outlay, it considerably diminishes the total structural cost.

Elastomeric bearing is used as one of the most useful way for isolation structures, because the horizontal stiffness is much lower than the vertical stiffness. The quality of Elastomeric bearing depends on the vulcanization procedure to manufacture, which produces the elasticity of the rubber from the compound of rubber and sulphur. The durability of Elastomeric bearing is affected by the deterioration due to ozone and ultra-violet attack. but the durability during the design life of bridges can be assured by the sufficient size of the bearing in spite of the deterioration in surface. In the design criteria of Elastomeric bearing, the stability of the bearings is evaluated by shear strain due to compression, lateral displacement, and rotation. The question how soft rubber can sustain heavy structure is now able to be solved by Ultimate capacity test of Laminated elastomeric Bearings, which results 1,200kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of the max. compressive stress and this shows what a sufficient safety factor Elastomeric bearing has!

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.

Recently, as large structures become lighter and more flexible, the necessity of structural control for reducing excessive displacement and acceleration due to seismic excitation is increased. As a means to minimize seismic damages, various base isolation systems are adopted or considered for adoption. In this study, a base isolation system using Magneto-Sensitive(MS) rubbers is proposed and shown to effectively protect structures against earthquakes. The MS Rubber is a class of smart controllable materials whose mechanical properties change instantly by the application of a magnetic field To demonstrate the advantages of this approach, the MS Rubber isolation system is compared to Lead-Rubber Bearing(LRB) isolation systems and judged based on computed responses to several historical earthquakes. The MS Rubber isolation system is shown to achieve notable decreases in base drifts over comparable passive systems with no accompanying increase in base shears or in accelerations imparted to the superstructure.

Seismic isolation has developed to the point where it may be considered as a viable design alternate for a wide range of building structures. However, it needs to consider various aspects to adopt a suitable isolation system for buildings practically. This report presents the basis for the preliminary design procedure which has been developed for the seismic isolation system using the lead rubber bearings. The design procedures have been developed to ensure that the bearings will safely support the maximum gravity load throughout the life of the structure while they provide a period shift and hysteretic damping during the design earthquake.

적층고무받침은 지진격리 교량에서 면진장치로 주로 사용되고 있으며, 지진격리 설계시 적층고무받침의 성능 및 거동특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 적층고무받침의 주요 평가요소로는 압축 및 전단특성 그리고 인장특성으로 구분된다. 이 요소 중 압축특성 및 전단특성에 대한 특성실험 결과는 많으나, 인장특성에 대한 자료는 충분하지 않다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 인장하중을 받는 적층형 고무받침의 특성에 대해 연구를 수행하였다. 적층고무받침의 인장시험은 형상계수 및 전단변형 변화에 따른 기계적 특성에 대하여 검토하였다. 실험결과 인장변형이 증가 할수록 인장이력곡선은 비선형 특성을 보이며, 단순인장시험결과 300%이상 인장변형 후 파괴되었다. 반면에 전단변형된 상태에서 인장파괴는 약 40%이상의 인장변형 후 파괴되었다. 또한 형상계수가 낮을수록 극한인장 파괴성능이 저하되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 명확하지는 않지만 고무 층이 3축 인장 받을 경우 내부공극에 의해 균열이 확장되어 파괴가 발생하는 것으로 추측된다. 본 연구결과는 지진격리 구조물 설계시 인장하중에 대한 기초자료로 충분히 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

According to experimental studies made so far, design formula of shear characteristics suggested by ISO 22762 and JEAG 4614, representative design code for Lead Rubber Bearing(LRB) shows dependence caused by changes in compressive stress. Especially, in the case of atypical special structure, such as a nuclear power structure, placement of seismic isolation bearing is more limited compared to that of existing structures and design compressive stress is various in sizes. As a result, there is a difference between design factor and real behavior with regards to shear characteristics of base isolation device, depending on compressive stress. In this study, a full-scale low hardness device of LRB, representative base isolation device was manufactured, analyzed, and then evaluated through an experiment on shear characteristics related to various compressive stresses. With design compressive stress of the full-scale LRB (13MPa) being a basis, changes in shear characteristics were analyzed for compressive stress of 5 MPa, 10 MPa, 13 MPa, 15 MPa, and 20 MPa based on characteristics test specified by ISO 22762:2010 and based on the test result, a regression analysis was made to offer an empirical formula. With application of proposed design formula which reflected the existing design formula and empirical formula, trend of horizontal characteristics was analyzed.

One of the shortcomings of seismic bridge design codes is the lack of clarity in defining the role of different seismic isolation systems with linear or nonlinear behavior in terms of R-factor. For example, based on AASHTO guide specifications for seismic isolation design, R-factor for all substructure elements of isolated bridges should be half of those expressed in the AASHTO standard specifications for highway bridges (i.e., R=3 for single columns and R=5 for multiple column bent) but not less than 1.50. However, no distinction is made between two commonly used types of seismic isolation devices, i.e., elastomeric rubber bearing (ERB) with linear behavior, and lead rubber bearing (LRB) with nonlinear behavior. In this paper, five existing bridges located in Iran with two types of deck-pier connection including ERB and LRB isolators, and two bridge models with monolithic deck-pier connection are developed and their R-factor values are assessed based on the Uang's method. The average R-factors for the bridges with ERB isolators are calculated as 3.89 and 4.91 in the longitudinal and transverse directions, respectively, which are not in consonance with the AASHTO guide specifications for seismic isolation design (i.e., R=3/2=1.5 for the longitudinal direction and R=5/2=2.5 for the transverse direction). This is a clear indicator that the code-prescribed R-factors are conservative for typical bridges with ERB isolators. Also for the bridges with LRB isolators, the average computed R-factors equal 1.652 and 2.232 in the longitudinal and transverse directions, respectively, which are in a good agreement with the code-specified R-factor values. Moreover, in the bridges with monolithic deck-pier connection, the average R-factor in the longitudinal direction is obtained as 2.92 which is close to the specified R-factor in the bridge design codes (i.e., 3), and in the transverse direction is obtained as 2.41 which is about half of the corresponding R-factor value in the specifications (i.e., 5).
