최근 지진 발생 사례들에서는 암반보다는 대부분 토사 퇴적층으로 구성된 부지에서의 심각한 지진 피해를 보여주고 있다. 이는 지진지반 운동의 증폭을 야기하는 부지 효과가 기반암 위 토사의 공간적 분포 및 동적 특성에 주로 관련되어 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 지반 자료에 관한 통합적 GIS 기반의 정보 시스템을 국내 대표적 대도시 지역인 서울에서의 지진 운동에 대한 지역적 종합 대책 수립의 일환으로 구축하였다. 서울 지역에 대한 GIS 기반 지반 정보 시스템을 구축하기 위하여, 연구 대상 영역 및 인근에 대한 기존 지반 조사 자료의 수집이 이루어 졌고 지표 지반-지식 자료의 확보를 위한 부지 방문 조사가 추가적으로 수행되었다. 관심 대상 영역의 부지 효과 평가를 위한 지반 정보 시스템의 실질적 적용 목적으로, 지반지진공학적 변수인 기반암 심도 및 부지 주기에 관한 지진재해 구역 지도를 작성하고 지진 유발 재해 예측을 위한 지역적 종합 대책으로 제시하였다. 또한, 서울 지역 내 임의 부지 및 하위 행정 단위에서의 내진 설계 및 내진 성능 평가를 위한 부지 증폭계수의 결정 수단으로 부지 분류의 지진재해 구역화를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 수행된 서울 지역에서의 지진재해 구역화 사례 연구로부터 GIS 기반의 지반 정보 시스템의 대도시에 대한 지진재해의 지역적 예측 뿐만 아니라 지진재해 저감을 위한 의사 결정 지원에서의 활용가능성을 확인하였다.

A sensitivity analysis about effects of influencing factors on the stability of Soil cut slope was performed. Slope stability analyses were carried out under dry, rainy and seismic conditions. Dominant factors controlling the slope stability were chosen such as cohesion and internal friction angle, unit weight of soil, water table and seismic horizontal coefficient used for the slope stability during earthquake. Parametric stability analysis with those factors was performed for sensitivity analysis. As results of analyzing the sensitivity of factors under dry and rainy conditions, effects of cohesion, internal friction angle and unit weight of soil on the stability of slope are more critical in the dry condition than in the rainy condition. Cohesion and internal friction angle are more dominant factors influencing the slope stability irrespective of dry or rainy conditions than unit weight of soil and the horizontal seismic coefficient. The unit weight and the horizontal seismic coefficient affects crucially the stability according to conditions of slope formation and dry or rainy seasons. For the effect of horizontal seismic coefficient on stability of slope, safety factor of slope is not affected significantly by dry or rainy conditions. However, increase of the horizontal seismic coefficient under the rainy condition floes reduce the safety factor significantly rather than the dry condition. Therefore, it is needed that the location of the water table is assigned appropriately to satisfy the required safety factor of stability in the case of checking slope stability for the rainy and seismic conditions.

Various non-seismic tie details are frequently used for one- and two-story small buildings because the seismic demand on their deformation capacities is not relatively significant. To evaluate the effects of the non-seismic tie details on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete columns, six square columns with a cross section of $400{\times}400mm$ and six rectangular columns with a cross section of $250{\times}640mm$ were tested. The anchorage details at both ends and spacing of tie hoops, along with the cross-sectional shape and the magnitude of axial load, were considered as the primary test parameters. Test results showed that square columns had higher stiffness and lower lateral deformation rather than rectangular columns. Both lap spliced tie and U-shaped tie provided comparable or improved seismic performance to $90^{\circ}$ hook tie in terms of maximum strength, ductility, and energy dissipation. The predicted curves with modeling parameters in ASCE41-13 were conservative for test results of lap spliced tie and U-shaped tie specimens since plastic behavior after flexural yielding could not be considered. For economical design, ASCE41-13 should be revised with various test results of tie details.

Non-seismically designed eccentric reinforced concrete beam-column joints were extensively used in existing reinforced concrete frame buildings, which were found to be vulnerable to seismic action in many incidences. To provide a fundamental understanding of the seismic performance and failure mechanism of the joints, three 2/3-scale exterior beam-column joints with non-seismically designed details were cast and tested under reversed cyclic loads simulating earthquake excitation. In this investigation, particular emphasis was given on the effects of the eccentricity between the centerlines of the beam and the column. It is shown that the eccentricity had significant effects on the damage characteristics, shear strength, and displacement ductility of the specimens. In addition, shear deformation and the strain of joint hoops were found to concentrate on the eccentric face of the joint. The results demonstrated that the specimen with an eccentricity of 1/4 column width failed in a brittle manner with premature joint shear failure, while the other specimens with less or no eccentricity failed in a ductile manner with joint shear failure after beam flexural yielding. Test results are compared with those predicted by three seismic design codes and two non-seismic design codes. In general, the codes do not accurately predict the shear strength of the eccentric joints with non-seismic details.

The seismic performance of the tall building equipped with a tuned mass damper (TMD) considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects is well studied in the literature. However, these studies are performed on the nominal model of the seismic-excited structural system with SSI. Hence, the outcomes of the studies may not valid for the actual structural system. To address the study gap, the reliability theory as a useful and powerful method is utilized in the paper. The present study aims to carry out reliability analyses on tall buildings equipped with TMD under near-field pulse-like (NFPL) ground motions considering SSI effects using a subset simulation (SS) method. In the presence of uncertainties of the structural model, TMD device, foundation, soil, and near-field pulse-like ground motions, the numerical studies are performed on a benchmark 40-story building and the failure probabilities of the structures with and without TMD are evaluated. Three types of soils (dense, medium, and soft soils), different earthquake magnitudes (M_w = 7,0. 7,25. 7,5 ), different nearest fault distances (r = 5. 10 and 15 km), and three seismic performance levels of immediate occupancy (IO), life safety (LS), and collapse prevention (CP) are considered in this study. The results show that tall buildings built near faults and on soft soils are more affected by uncertainties of the structural and ground motion models. Hence, ignoring these uncertainties may result in an inaccurate estimation of the maximum seismic responses. Also, it is found the TMD is not able to reduce the failure probabilities of the structure in the IO seismic performance level, especially for high earthquake magnitudes and structures built near the fault. However, TMD is significantly effective in the reduction of failure probability for the LS and CP performance levels. For weak earthquakes and long fault distances, the failure probabilities of both structures with and without TMD are near zero, and the efficiency of the TMD in the reduction of failure probabilities is reduced by increasing earthquake magnitudes and the reduction of fault distance. As soil softness increases, the failure probability of structures both with and without TMD often increases, especially for severe near-fault earthquake motion.

부지고유 지진 응답과 그에 따른 지진 재해는 지하 지질 및 지반 동적 특성에 따라 주로 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 지진 응답의 신뢰성 높은 평가를 목적으로, 연구 영역을 포괄하는 확장 영역과 지표면의 지반-지식 자료 획득을 위한 추가 부지 방문 조사라는 새로운 개념을 도입하여 GIS 토대의 지반 정보 시스템(GTIS)을 개발하였다. 역사 지진 피해 기록이 많아 향후 지진 발생 가능성 높은 경주 지역에 대해 GIS 기반 GTIS를 구축하였다. 연구 지역인 경주를 대상으로 지반 특성 및 동적 물성을 대표하는 전단파속도($V_S$)를 평가하기 위한 종합적 지반 조사와 기존 지반 자료 수집을 실시하고 부지 방문 조사를 추가적으로 수행하였다. 경주 지역에 대한 GTIS 내에서 지구통계학적 크리깅 기법을 이용하여 지반 조사 자료로부터 연구 영역 전체의 공간 분포 지층과 $V_S$를 신뢰성 높게 예측하였다. GTIS 내에서 예측된 공간 지층 및 $V_S$를 토대로, 부지 효과에 따른 부지고유 지진 응답의 평가 지표인 부지 주기($T_G$)에 관한 지진 구역 지도를 경주 연구 지역에 대해 작성하였다. 경주의 공간 $T_G$ 분포 지도로부터 2 층에서 5 층 건물의 지진 취약도를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 GIS 기반 GTIS 내에서 $T_G$를 토대로 수행된 지진 구역화를 지진 재해 평가 및 저감을 위한 효율적 지역 대책 방안으로 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 지반에서 1차적인 면진작용을 할 수 있는 지반형 지진격리장치의 내진성능을 평가하였다. 테프론과 제강슬래그를 이용하여 지반형 지진격리장치를 조성한 후 그 위에 모형 상부구조물을 설치하고 1-G 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 다양한 수준의 입력지진파에 대해 응답가속도와 응답스펙트럼을 분석하였으며, 지진격리장치가 없는 고정기초 구조물과 결과를 비교하였다. 연구결과, 제강슬래그형 지진격리장치가 가장 가속도 저감효과가 좋았으며, 테프론형 지진격리장치는, 중 약진 조건에서는 가속도 저감효과가 크게 없고 강진조건에서는 가속도 저감효과가 좋았다. 입력파가 상부질량(Mass)으로 전달되면서, 고정기초 구조물의 응답스펙트럼은 입력지진파에 비해 단주기영역에서 증폭하고, 테프론과 제강슬래그를 이용한 지진격리장치가 있는 구조물의 응답스펙트럼은 입력지진파에 비해 장주기 영역에서 증폭하였다. 이러한 주기특성 변화와 재료간의 마찰특성이 가속도 저감효과에 영향을 준 것으로 판단된다.

Low cyclic loading tests are conducted on the steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) column-steel (S) beam composite frame joints. This research aims to evaluate the earthquake damage performance of composite frame joints by performing cyclic loading tests on eight specimens. The experimental failure process and failure modes, load-displacement hysteresis curves, characteristic loads and displacements, and ductility of the composite frame joints are presented and analyzed, which shows that the composite frame joints demonstrate good seismic performance. On the basis of this finding, seismic damage performance is examined by using the maximum displacement, energy absorbed in the hysteresis loops and Park-Ang model. However, the result of this analysis is inconsistent with the test failure process. Therefore, this paper proposes a modified Park-Ang seismic damage model that is based on maximum deformation and cumulative energy dissipation, and corrected by combination coefficient ${\alpha}$. Meanwhile, the effects of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage and axial compression ratio on the seismic damage performance are analyzed comprehensively. Moreover, lateral displacement angle is used as the quantification index of the seismic performance level of joints. Considering the experimental study, the seismic performance level of composite frame joints is divided into five classes of normal use, temporary use, repair after use, life safety and collapse prevention. On this basis, the corresponding relationships among seismic damage degrees, seismic performance level and quantitative index are also established in this paper. The conclusions can provide a reference for the seismic performance design of composite frame joints.

Since the peak seismic response of a base-isolated building strongly depends on the characteristics of the imposed seismic ground motion, the behavior of a base-isolated building under different seismic ground motions is studied, in order to better assess their effects on its peak seismic response. Specifically, the behavior of a typical steel building is examined as base-isolated with elastomeric bearings, while the effect of near-fault ground motions is studied by imposing 7 pairs of near- and 7 pairs of far-fault seismic records, from the same 7 earthquake events, to the building, under 3 different loading combinations, through three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear dynamic analyses, conducted with SAP2000. The results indicate that near-fault seismic components are more likely to increase the building's peak seismic response than the corresponding far-fault components. Furthermore, the direction of the imposed earthquake excitations is also varied by rotating the imposed pairs of seismic records from 0◦ to 360◦, with respect to the major construction axes. It is observed that the peak seismic responses along the critical incident angles, which in general differ from the major horizontal construction axes of the building, are significantly higher. Moreover, the influence of 5% and 10% accidental mass eccentricities is also studied, revealing that when considering accidental mass eccentricities the peak relative displacements of the base isolated building at the isolation level are substantially increased, while the peak floor accelerations and interstory drifts of its superstructure are only slightly affected.

A number of construction practices, implemented during the design process of a reinforced concrete (RC) structural system, may have significant consequences on the behaviour of the structural system in the case of earthquake loading. Although a number of provisions are imposed by the contemporary Greek national design codes for the seismic design of RC structures, in order to reduce the consequences, the influence of the construction practices on the seismic behaviour of the structural system remains significant. The objective of this work is to perform a comparative study in order to examine the influence of three, often encountered, construction practices namely weak ground storey, short and floating columns and two combinations on the seismic performance of the structural system with respect to the structural capacity and the maximum interstorey drifts in three earthquake hazard levels.
