Earth fissures with several kilometers will inevitably approach or cross the metro line, significantly threatening the safety of the underground structure in the earth fissure site. However, the influence of the earth fissure site's amplification effect on the metro station's dynamic response is still unclear. A representative earth fissure in Xi'an was taken as an example to establish a numerical model of a metro station in the earth fissure site. The dynamic response characteristics of the metro stations at different distances from the earth fissure under various seismic waves were calculated. The results show that the existence of the earth fissure significantly amplifies the dynamic response of the nearby underground structures. The responses of the axial force, shear force, bending moment, normal stress, horizontal displacement, inter-story drift, and relative slip of the metro station were all amplified within a specific influence range. The amplification effect increases with the seismic wave intensity. The amplification effect caused by the earth fissure has relatively weak impacts on the axial shear, shear force, bending movement, normal stress, and horizontal movement; slightly larger impacts on the inter-story drift and acceleration; and a significant impact on the relative slip. The influence ranges of the axial force and normal stress are approximately 20 m. The influence ranges of the acceleration and inter-story drift can reach 30 m. Therefore, the seismic fortification level of the underground structure in the earth fissure site needs to be improved.

A set of mid-rise bare and uniformly infilled reinforced-concrete frame buildings are analyzed for two different seismic intensities of ground-motions (i.e., 'Design Basis Earthquake' and 'Maximum Considered Earthquake') to study their floor response. The crucial parameters affecting seismic design force for acceleration-sensitive non-structural components are studied and compared with the guidelines of the European and the United States standards, and also with the recently developed NIST provisions. It is observed that the provisions of both the European and the United States standards do not account for the effects of the period of vibration of the supporting structure and seismic intensity of ground-motions and thereby provides conservative estimates of the in-structure amplification. In case of bare frames, the herein derived component amplification factors for both the design basis earthquake and the maximum considered earthquake exceeds with their recommended values in the European and the United States standards for non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the higher modes of vibration, whereas, in case of infilled frames, component amplification factors exceeds with their recommended value in the European standard for non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the fundamental mode of vibration, and only for the design basis earthquake. As a consequence of these observations, as well as capping on the design force (in case of United states standard and NIST provisions), in case of the design basis earthquake, the combined amplification factor is underestimated for non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the higher modes of vibration of bare frames, and also for non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the fundamental mode of vibration of infilled frames. At the maximum considered earthquake demand, excepting non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the higher modes of vibration of bare frames, all provisions generally provide conservative estimates of the design floor accelerations.

Buildings which was constructed before 1988 were not satisfied seismic design code. Thus, most of these buildings have to retrofit for remodeling. This study proposed the steel slit damper system with displacement-amplification device. It could maximize the effectiveness of a damper system in controlling seismic response of a building by amplifying story drift induced to damper. In this study, the proposed system was verified the effect of displacement-amplification using the analytical and experimental study. From the analysis and experiment, it was found that the propsed damping system showed a stable hysteric behavior with excellent energy dissipation capacity. Therefore the proposed system will make a good seismic performance and economical benefits.

지진원 상수의 정밀한 결정과 지진재해의 예측에 있어서 결정적인 요인의 하나는 부지증폭 특성에 관한 상세한 정보이다. 한반도 광대역 지진관측소의 부지증폭 특성이 0.2-20 Hz 범위 내에서 주파수의 함수로 추정되었다. 한반도 남부에서 2003년부터 2008년까지 관측된 43개의 지진에 대한 총 1275개의 지진기록이 사용되었다. 지진동 모델의 역산으로부터 추정된 28개소의 관측소에 대한 부지증폭비는 수직대 수평(H/V) 스펙트럼비로부터 얻어진 증폭비와 몇몇 관측소를 제외하고는 대체로 그 값이 일치하는 것이 발견되었다. 이 연구에서 얻어진 주파수별 부지증폭 특성은 어떤 뚜렷한 공간분포를 보이지 않았다. 또한 부지증폭 특성은 기반암 종류보다는 풍화의 정도와 크게 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 주파수별 부지증폭비를 참조하여 28개소의 광대역 관측소를 4개의 그룹으로 나누었고, 그룹별 특징에 대하여 본문에 서술하였다.

A new site classification system and site coefficients based on local site conditions in Korea were developed and implemented as a part of minimum design load requirements for general seismic design. The new site classification system adopted bedrock depth and average shear wave velocity of soil above the bedrock as parameters for site classification. These code provisions were passed through a public hearing process before it was enacted. The public hearing process recommended to modify the naming of site classes and adjust the amplification factors so that the level of short-period amplification is suitable for economical seismic design. In this paper, the new code provisions were assessed using dynamic centrifuge tests and by comparing the design response spectra (DRS) with records from 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, the largest earthquake in history of instrumental seismic observation in Korea. The dynamic centrifuge tests were performed to simulate the representative Korean site conditions, such as shallow depth to bedrock and short-period amplification characteristics, and the results corroborated with the new DRS. The Gyeongju earthquake records also showed good agreement with the DRS. In summary, the new code provisions are reliable for representing the site amplification characteristic of shallow bedrock condition in Korea.

Amplification based on empirical relations is widely used for seismic microzonation of urban centers. Amplifications are used to represent the site effects of a particular soil column. Many empirical correlations are available to estimate the amplification of seismic waves. These correlations are based on the ratio of shear wave velocity of foundation/rock to soil velocity or 30 m equivalent shear wave velocity ($Vs^{30}$) and are developed considering deep soil data. The aim of this work is to examine the applicability of available amplification relations in the literature for shallow engineering bedrock sites by carrying out site response studies. Shear wave velocity of thirteen sites having shallow engineering bedrock have been selected for the study. In these locations, the depth of engineering bedrock (> 760 ${\pm}$ 60 m/s) is matched with the drilled bore hole. Shear wave velocity (SWV) has been measured using Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave survey. These sites are classified according to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) classification system. Amplifications for an earthquake are arrived for these sites using empirical relations and measured SWV data. Site response analysis has been carried out in SHAKE using SWV and using synthetic and real earthquake data. Amplification from site response analysis and empirical relations are compared. Study shows that the amplification arrived using empirical relations does not match with the site response amplification. Site response amplification is much more than empirical values for same shear wave velocity.

주파수 영역에서 H/V 스펙트럼비를 구하는 방법은 부지 지반증폭함수를 평가할 때 자주 사용되는 방법이다. 이 방법은 Nakamura에 의해 처음으로 제시되었으며 주로 표면파를 이용하였다. 본 논문에서는 H/V 스펙트럼비를 분석한 결과를 이용하여 국내에 분포되어 있는 지진관측소 부지의 지반증폭 특성을 분석하였으며 이를 위해 본진을 포함한 12개의 후쿠오카 지진으로부터 관측된 지반진동 자료가 이용되었다. 분석결과 대부분의 지진관측소의 H/V 스펙트럼비는 저주파수 영역에서는 변화가 거의 없는 지반증폭 특성을 보여주었다. 하지만 고주파수 영역의 H/V 스펙트럼비는 지진관측소에 따라 우세 주파수 및 1개 또는 여러 개의 지역 피크값을 가지고 있는 것과 같이 특징적인 지반증폭 특성을 보여 주었다. 물론 지반증폭 특성 자체도 부지에 대해 중요한 정보를 제고한다는 점에서 중요하지만 관측된 지반진동 자료를 이용하여 지진원 및 지각감쇠 특성 요소를 분석할 경우 결과값의 왜곡을 피하기 위해 지반증폭 특성을 제거할 필요가 있다.

변전소 구조물 내부에 설치되는 전력설비의 내진설계 시 사용되는 변수인 가속도 증폭계수는 미국, 일본과 국내의 변전소 내진설계기준에서 제시되어 있다. 국내 설계기준에 제시된 가속도 증폭계수는 미국, 일본의 설계기준에서 제시된 계수와는 달리 변전소 구조물의 층수가 4층 이상일 경우에는 동적해석을 수행하여 가속도 증폭계수를 구하게 되어 있다. 국내의 변전소 구조물은 대부분 층수가 4~5층이므로 기존의 가속도 증폭계수는 실제 변전소 구조물에 적용하기에 미흡한 상황이다. 국내 변전소 구조물 형식에 적합한 가속도 증폭계수를 제시하기 위하여 대표적인 7가지 구조형식의 변전소 구조물에 대하여 가속도 증폭계수를 평가하였다. 가속도증폭계수는 변전소 구조물에 대하여 원거리 지진과 근거리 지진을 사용하여 내부-구조물 응답스펙트럼을 작성하여 이로부터 평가하였다. 미국, 일본 전력설비 내진설계 기준에 따른 각각의 가속도 증폭계수 α_J, α_A는 근거리 및 원거리 지진을 사용한 동적 해석으로 구한 가속도 증폭계수에 비하여 다소 과대평가하는 경향이 있다.

The vibration control device such as the damper can be used to reinforce the seismic performance of structures. The damper is activated by the deformation of structures during earthquake; however, the deformation of structures is extremely small, causing difficulty in using the damper. Therefore, there is a need for a method capable of amplifying small deformities and transmitting them to the damper. The purpose of this paper is to develop and evaluate a displacement amplification seismic system using cable-pulley. The appropriate cable was selected through a cable tensile performance test and the results of the frame experiment were compared with theoretical displacement amplification ratio values. As a result, it may be said that the proposed system using cable-pulley is useful for displacement amplification.

Hong Kong is now recognized as an area of moderate seismic hazard, but most of the buildings have been designed with no seismic provision. It is of great significance to develop effective and practical measures to retrofit existing buildings against moderate seismic attacks. Researches show that beam-column joints are critical structural elements to be retrofitted for seismic resistance for reinforced concrete frame structures. This paper explores the possibility of using a Hydraulic Displacement Amplification Damping System (HDADS), which can be easily installed at the exterior of beam-column joints, to prevent structural damage against moderate seismic attacks. A series of shaking table tests were carried out with a 1/3 prototype steel frame have been carried out to assess the performance of the HDADS. A Numerical model representing the HDADS is developed. It is also used in numerical simulation of the shaking table tests. The numerical model of the HDADS and the numerical simulation of the shaking table tests are verified by experimental results.
