한반도의 지진들은 주로 중생대에 반도에서 발생한 격렬한 지각변동으로 생성된 단층 및 깨어진 주요 지질구조의 경계에서 발생한다. 이 지진들은 Eurasian plate와 충돌하는 인접한 Indian plate와 Pacific plate 및 Philippine plate에 의한 E-W 내지 ENE-SSW 방향의 압축력장에서 반도 내의 주로 NNE-SSW 방향의 활성단층들이 깨어지며 발생하며 주향성분이 우세한 역단층의 메커니즘을 갖는다. 한반도의 지진활동은 지난 20세기 동안 15~18세기의 이례적으로 높은 기간을 제외하고는 비교적 낮거나 중간수준이며 이는 판내부 지진활동의 전형적인 불규칙한 양상을 보여준다. 한반도의 지각구조는 상부지각과 하부지각을 뚜렷하게 구분하는 Conrad 면이 없는 대체로 균질한 지각이며 수평적 불균질성은 존재한다. 지각의 평균 두께는 33 km 정도이며 Airy 형의 지각균형을 이루고 있어 산악지방이 평야지역에 비하여 지각의 두께가 더 크다. P파의 속도는 지표 부근에서 Moho 면까지 점진적으로 증가하며 평균은 대략 6.3 km/sec이다. 상부맨틀의 P파(Pn)의 속도는 대략 7.8 km/sec이다.

It is known that lap splice in the longitudinal reinforcement of reinforced concrete(RC) bridge columns is not desirable for seismic performance, but it is sometimes unavoidable. Lap splices were practically located in the potential plastic hinge region of most bridge columns that were constructed before the adoption of the seismic design provision of Korea Bridge Design Specification on 1992. The objective of this research is to evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete(RC) bridge piers with lap splicing of longitudinal reinforcement in the plastic hinge region, to develop the enhancement scheme of their seismic capacity by retrofitting with glassfiber sheets, and to develop appropriate limited ductility design concept in low or moderate seismicity region. Nine test specimens in the aspect ratio of 4 were made with three confinement ratios and three types of lap splice. Quasi-static test was conducted in a displacement-controlled way under three different axial load levels. A significant reduction of displacement ductility ratios was observed for test columns with lap splices of longitudinal steels.

It has been observed that displacement ductility ratios of test columns with lap splicing were significantly reduced.

The purpose of this study is to develop new seismic design concept based on ductility demand for reinforced concrete bridge columns in areas of low to moderate seismicity. In developing the ductility based design approach, relationship between ductility demand and transverse reinforcement demand should be quantitatively developed. To evaluate ductility capacity of reinforced concrete columns, analytical models and a non-linear analysis program, NARCC have been developed. Based on analytical and experimental results, an equation for relationship between curvature ductility and displacement ductility, an equation for designing the transverse confinement reinforcement for ductility demand, and a new seismic design concept of RC bridge columns are presented.

철근콘크리트 교각의 시공시 소성힌지구간에서 주철근 겹침이음은 내진성능면에서 바람직하지 않으나 불가피하게 시공되는 경우가 있었다. 특히, 1992년 도로교표준시방서의 내진설계 기준이 마련되기 이전에 설계 시공된 대부분의 철근콘크리트 교각은 소성힌지구간에 주철근을 겹침이음 하였으며, 이들은 휨에 대한 소성영역에서의 거동에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 직경 1.2m, 형상비 4.0의 휨파괴가 예상되는 비내진 및 한정연성시험체를 8기 제작하여 준정적(Quasi-Static)실험을 통한 철근콘크리트(RC) 교각의 소성힌지구간내의 주철근 겹침이음과 횡방향구속력이 내진성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험체의 변수로서는 $0\%,\;50\%,\;100\%$의 주철근 겹침이음, 2종류의 횡구속철근비 및 띠철근 형상을 선택하였다. 연구결과 주철근 겹침이음 정도에 따라 철근콘크리트 교각의 내진성능은 급격히 저하되었으며, 겹침이음이 없는 한정연성설계된 시험체의 경우 높은 내진성능을 발휘하였다. 연구결과에 따라 중저진지역에서 겹침이음된 주철근 교각의 내진성능을 위한 적절한 횡방향철근량을 제안하였다.

This paper investigates the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete frames with wide beams mainly designed for gravity loads, as typically found in the seismic-prone Mediterranean area before the introduction of modern codes. The seismic capacity is evaluated in terms of the overall amount of input energy that the frame can dissipate/absorb up to collapse. This approach provides a quantitative evaluation that can be useful for selecting and designing an appropriate retrofit strategy. Six prototype frames representative of past construction practices in the southern part of Spain are designed, and the corresponding non-linear numerical models are developed and calibrated with purposely conducted tests on wide beam-column subassemblages. The models are subjected to sixteen earthquake records until collapse by applying the incremental dynamic analysis method. It is found that the ultimate energy dissipation capacity at the story level is markedly low (about 1.36 times the product of the lateral yield strength and yield displacement of the story), giving values for the maximum amount of energy that the frame can dissipate which are from one fourth to half of that required in moderate-seismicity regions.

This paper investigates the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) circular columns under combined loading including torsion. The main variables considered in this study are the ratio of torsional moment to bending moment (T/M) and the level of detailing for moderate and high seismicity (low and high transverse reinforcement/spiral ratio). This paper presents the results of tests on seven columns subjected to cyclic bending and shear, cyclic torsion, and various levels of combined cyclic bending, shear, and torsion. Columns under combined loading were tested at T/M ratios of 0.2 and 0.4. These columns were reinforced with two spiral reinforcement ratios of 0.73% and 1.32%. Similarly, the columns subjected to pure torsion were tested with two spiral reinforcement ratios of 0.73% and 1.32%. This study examined the significance of proper detailing, and spiral reinforcement ratio and its effect on the torsional resistance under combined loading. The test results demonstrate that both the flexural and torsional capacities are decreased due to the effect of combined loading. Furthermore, they show a significant change in the failure mode and deformation characteristics depending on the spiral reinforcement ratio. The increase in spiral reinforcement ratio also led to significant improvement in strength and ductility.

Pseudo dynamic test is an on-line computer control method to achieve the realism of shaking table test with the economy and versatility of the conventional quasi-static approach Pseudo dynamic tests of six full-size RC bridge piers have been carried out to investigate their seismic performance. For the purpose of precise evaluation, the experimental investigation was conducted to study the seismic performance of the real size specimen, which is constructed for highway bridge piers in Korean peninsula. Since it is believed that Korea belongs to the moderate seismicity region, five test specimens were designed in accordance with limited ductility design concept. Another one test specimen was nonseismically designed according to a conventional code. Important test parameters were transverse reinforcement and lap splicing. Lap splicing was frequently used in the plastic hinge region of many bridge columns. Furthermore, the seismic design code is not present about lap splice in Korean Roadway Bridge Design Code. The results show that specimens designed according to the limited ductility design concept exhibit higher seismic resistance. Specimens with longitudinal steel lap splice in the plastic hinge region appeared to significantly fail at low ductility level.

Seismic parameters fur computation of ground motions in Southern Korea are obtained from recently recorded data, and site-independent regional and site-dependent local strong ground motions are predicted using efficient computational techniques. For the computation of ground motions, we devised an efficient procedure to compute site-independent $x_{q}$ and dependent $x_{s}$ values separately. The first step of this procedure is to use the coda normalization method far computation of site independent Q or corresponding $x_{q}$ value. The next step is the computation of $x_{s}$, values fur each site separately using the given $x_{q}$ value. For computation of ground motions the empirical Green's function (EGF) is modified to account fur the depth and distance variations of subevents on a finite fault plane using the theoritical Green's function. It is computed using wavenumber integration technique in layered media. The site dependent ground motions at seismic stations in southeastern local area were properly simulated using the modified empirical Green's function method in layered medium. The proposed method and procedures fur estimation of site dependent seismic parameters and ground motions could be efficiently used in the low and moderate seismicity regions.ons.s.ons.
