This study investigates a new optimal placement method for viscous dampers between structures in order to prevent pounding of adjacent structures with different dynamic characteristics under earthquake effects. A relative displacement spectrum is developed in two single degree of freedom system to reveal the critical period ratios for the most risky scenario of collision using El Centro earthquake record (NS). Three different types of viscous damper design, which are classical, stair and X-diagonal model, are considered to prevent pounding on two adjacent building models. The objective function is minimized under the upper and lower limits of the damping coefficient of the damper and a target modal damping ratio. A new algorithm including time history analyses and numerical optimization methods is proposed to find the optimal dampers placement. The proposed design method is tested on two 12-storey adjacent building models. The effects of the type of damper placement on structural models, the critical period ratios of adjacent structures, the permissible relative displacement limit, the mode behavior and the upper limit of damper are investigated in detail. The results of the analyzes show that the proposed method can be used as an effective means of finding the optimum amount and location of the dampers and eliminating the risk of pounding.

본 연구는 지진이 발생할 경우 장대레일교량에 있어 레일과 상판 간의 종방향 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위한 것으로, 해석모델에 여러 하중조합과 함께 지진하중을 적용함으로써 대상 철도교량 레일에서의 축방향 부가응력과 레일-상판 간 상대변위의 변화를 산출하였다. 해석 결과, 본 연구 대상 철도교량의 경우 철도시설공단에서 제시하고 있는 표준응답스펙트럼을 적용할 때 레일부가응력은 대부분의 하중조합에 대해 허용기준 내의 값을 보이고 있는 반면, 레일-상판 상대변위는 공단에서 제시하는 허용기준을 초과하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 레일-상판 상대변위가 레일부가응력에 비해 상대적으로 더 허용기준을 만족시키기 어렵다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 아울러 고베 대지진과 같은 큰 규모의 지진이 발생하면 레일부가응력과 레일-상판 상대변위는 허용기준을 충족시키지 못하므로 이에 대한 적절한 내진 대비가 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 지하구조물의 내진 설계를 위한 수정된 응답변위법을 제안하였다. 먼저 기존 응답변위법의 적용성을 검증하기 위해서 매설심도와 지반조건을 변수로 하여 국내의 특성이 반영된 경우에 대한 해석을 수행하였으며 정밀 동적 해석의 결과와 비교하였다. 최대휨모멘트 및 상대 변위를 비교한 결과, 응답변위법의 정확도에 영향을 크게 미지는 속도응답스펙트럼과 지반반력계수 산정의 필요성이 확인되었다. 따라서 국내의 실정에 맞도록 수정된 속도응답스펙트럼과 새로운 지반반력계수 산정식 제안을 위한 방법을 고찰하였다. 제안된 응답변위법의 타당성 및 적용성을 검증하기 위하여, 지반의 조건 및 구조물의 크기 매설심도, 기반암의 위치를 변화시키면서 해석을 수행하였다. 응답변위법의 해석결과와 정밀 동적 해석법의 결과를 비교ㆍ분석하여 국내 지하구조물의 내진 설계를 위한 응답변위법의 적용 가능성을 검증하였다.

Structures with additional frictional damping system have strong nonlinearity that the dynamic behavior is highly affected. by the relative magnitude between frictional force and excitation load. In this study, normalized response spectra of the structures with non-dimensional friction force are obtained through nonlinear time history analyses of the mass-normalized single degree of freedom systems using 20 ground motion data recorded on rock site. The variation of the control performance of frictional damping system is investigated in terms of the dynamic load and the structural natural period, of which effects were not considered in the previous studies. Least square curve fitting equations are presented for describing those normalized response spectrum and optimal non-dimensional friction forces are obtained for controlling the peak displacement and absolute acceleration of the structure based on the derivative of the curve fitted design spectrum.

Accurate peak response estimation of a seismically excited structure with frictional damping system (FDS) is very difficult since the structure with FDS shows nonlinear behavior dependent on the structural period, loading characteristics, and relative magnitude between the frictional force and the excitation load. Previous studies have estimated the peak response of the structure with FDS by replacing a nonlinear system with an equivalent linear one or by employing the response spectrum obtained based on nonlinear time history and statistical analysis. In case that earthquake excitation is defined probabilistically, corresponding response of the structure with FDS becomes to have probabilistic distribution. In this study, nonlinear time history analyses were performed for the structure with FDS subjected to artificial earthquake excitation generated using Kanai-Tajimi filter. An equation for the probability density function (PDF) of the displacement response is proposed by adapting the PDF of the normal distribution. Coefficients of the proposed PDF are obtained by regression of the statistical distribution of the time history responses. Finally, the correlation between the resulting PDFs and statistical response distribution is investigated.

마찰형 감쇠를 갖는 구조물은 구조물의 고유주기, 하중의 특성, 그리고 외부하중에 대한 마찰력의 상대적인 크기에 따라 강한 비선형성을 나타내므로, 구조물의 최대응답을 예측하기 매우 어렵다. 기존의 연구에서는 비선형 시스템을 등가의 선형 시스템으로 치환하거나, 구조물의 비선형 시간이력해석을 통한 응답스펙트럼 분석에 의한 간단한 확률해석에 의해 수행되었다. 지진 하중은 불확실성과 불규칙성을 갖고 있기 때문에 확률적으로 정의된다면, 지진하중을 받는 마찰형 감쇠를 갖는 구조물의 응답 역시 확률분포를 나타낼 것이다. 본 논문에서는 Kanai-Tajimi 필터를 이용해 생성된 인공지진하중에 대해 마찰형 감쇠를 갖는 구조물의 비선형 시간이력 해석이 수행되었다. 그리고 정규분포 확률밀도 함수에 선형 회귀분석을 통해 얻어진 구조물의 주기와 마찰력의 크기에 의한 변수를 업데이트 시킨 마찰형 감쇠를 갖는 구조물의 변위 응답 확률밀도함수식이 제시된다.

Non-structural elements are vulnerable to earthquake ground motion. In this study, an experimental study for the electrical non-structural element was performed using tri-axial shaking table tests. A 100kVA UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply system) was used as the test specimen. The test specimen was anchored to the concrete slab using the conventional installation detail. The input acceleration were generated in accordance with ICC-ES AC156 code. Scale factors of the input acceleration with respect to the required response spectrum defined in ICC-ES AC156 were from 25% to 600%. Based on the test results, damage and dynamic characteristics of UPS were evaluated and analyzed including natural frequency, damping ratio, acceleration time history response, dynamic amplification factor and relative displacement.

For improving the seismic performance of the nuclear power plant (NPP) piping system, attempts have been made to apply a dynamic absorber (DA). However, the current piping DA design method is limited because it cannot provide the globally optimum values for the target design seismic loading. Therefore, this study proposes a seismic time history analysis-based DA optimal design method for piping. To this end, the Kriging approach is introduced to reduce the numerical cost required for seismic time history analyses. The appropriate design of the experiment method is used to increase the efficiency in securing response data. A gradient-based method is used to efficiently deal with the multi-dimensional unconstrained optimization problem of the DA optimal design. As a result, the proposed method showed an excellent response reduction effect in several responses compared to other optimal design methods. The proposed method showed that the average response reduction rate was about 9% less at the maximum acceleration, about 5% less at the maximum value of the response spectrum, about 9% less at the maximum relative displacement, and about 4% less at the maximum combined stress compared to existing optimal design methods. Therefore, the proposed method enables an effective optimal DA design method for mitigating seismic response in NPP piping in the future.
