The ultimate safety-goal of nuclear power plants should be targeted at preventing release of nuclear radiation compared to general structures, Accordingly the phases of siting design construction and operation of NPPs are severely regulated by codes of aseismic design so as to assure safety of NPPs. To accomplish this goal strict quality assurace and seismic qualification tests should be conducted for all phases of NPP construction. In addition seismic monitoring systems should be installed and always in operation to provide proper post-earhquake procedures. Besides periodic safety review should be performed during operation along with the seismic margin assessment. In this paper general procedures to secure seismic safety of NPPs are systematically reviewed and additional considerations for improvement are suggested.

In recent years, China's high-speed railway (HSR) line continues to expand into seismically active regions. Analyzing the features of earthquake rail irregularity is crucial in this situation. This study first established and experimentally validated a finite element (FE) model of bridge-track. The FE model was then combined with earthquake record database to generate the earthquake rail irregularity library. The sample library was used to construct a model of desired earthquake rail irregularity based on signal processing (SFT) and hypothesis principle. Finally, the effects of random pier height and random span number on desired irregularity were analyzed. Herein, an equivalent method of calculating earthquake rail irregularities for random structures was proposed. The results of this study show that the amplitude of desired irregularity is found to increase with increasing pier height. When calculating the desired irregularity of a structure with unequal pier heights, the structure can be regarded as that with equal pier heights (taking the largest pier height). For a structure with the span number large than 9, its desired irregularity can be considered equal to that of a 9-span structure. For the structures with both random pier heights and random span number, their desired irregularities are obtained by equivalent calculations for pier height and span number, respectively.

To rapidly recover ceased functionality of a facility after a catastrophic seismic event, critical decisions on facility repair works are made within a limited period of time. However, prolonged damage assessment of facilities, due to massive damage in the surrounding region and the complicated damage judgment procedures, may impede restoration planning. To assist reliable structural damage estimation without a deep knowledge and rapid interactive analysis among facility damage and restoration operations during the approximate restoration project planning phase, we developed a prototype of distributed facility restoration simulations through the use of high-level architecture (HLA) (IEEE 1516). The simulation prototype, in which three different simulations (including a seismic data retrieval technique, a structural response simulator, and a restoration simulation module) interact with each other, enables immediate damage estimation by promptly detecting earthquake intensity and the restoration operation analysis according to estimated damage. By conducting case simulations and experiments, research outcomes provide key insights into post-disaster restoration planning, including the extent to which facility damage varies according to disaster severity, facility location, and structures. Additional insights arise regarding the extent to which different facility damage patterns impact a project's performance, especially when facility damage is hard to estimate by observation. In particular, an understanding of required type and amount of repair activities (e.g., demolition works, structural reinforcement, frame installation, or finishing works) is expected to support project managers in approximate work scheduling or resource procurement plans.

2016년 경주 지진에 이어 2017년 포항 지진까지 발생한 대한민국은 더 이상 지진에 대해 안전지대라고 할 수 없다. 이에 따라 재난환경에 적합한 피난시설의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경량 복합패널을 이용하여 기존 피난시설의 단점들을 보완할 수 있는 구호주거를 제작하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경량 복합패널로 구성된 구호주거에 대한 구조 성능과 에너지성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 구호주거의 구조 성능을 평가하기 위해 경량 복합패널로 제작한 시스템에 대한 횡하중가력 실험을 진행하였다. 실험체는 접합 방식을 변수로 하여 2가지로 구성하였다. 또한 KBC 2016에 따라 실험체에 대한 지진하중과 풍하중을 산정하여 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 에너지성능은 냉난방 및 조명에너지 사용량을 최소화하기 위해 기준 패널을 활용한 남측창호 최적화기법을 활용하여 분석하였고, 창면적비, 창 총일사취득율 최적화를 진행하였다. 결과적으로 경량 복합패널로 제작된 실험체는 횡하중에 대해 충분히 안전한 성능을 보일 것으로 판단되며, 창면적비 0.38, 총일사취득율 0.5수준의 최적화 계획을 통한 저에너지 운용이 기대된다.
