비선형 시간이력응답해석에서 입력지진동은 구조물의 탄소성 지진응답을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이다. 시간이력해석에 사용되는 기록지진동파형은 지진발생 메카니즘, 전달경로, 지반의 성질에 따른 여러 가지 인자가 복잡하게 관련되어 있기 때문에 구조물의 지진응답해석에 사용될 일반성을 갖는 입력지진동을 선정하는 것은 매우 어려운 문제이다. 본 논문은 실무에서 내진설계용 지진동으로 가장 선호하지 않는 입력지진동을 선정하여 인공지진동파형을 작성하였다. 인공지진동은 기록지진동과 동일한 위상각을 가지며, 감쇠정수 h=5%일 때의 설계용 스펙트럼과 거의 일치하도록 작성되었다. 기록지지동과 인공지진동을 입력한 1자유도계의 탄성 및 탄소성 지진 응답해석을 수행하여 탄소성 응답스펙트럼 및 입력에너지 응답 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 작성된 인공지진동은 건축구조물의 탄소성 지진응답해석용 입력지진동으로 충분히 타당성이 있다고 사료된다.

원주 KSRS 지진관측망을 이용하여 한반도 및 주변지역의 인공지진원을 식별하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 신호대 잡음비가 높은 자연지진 150개와 인공지진 56개를 선별하여 표본 집단을 형성하였다. 2차원 Pg/Lg 스펙트럼 진폭 비의 격자를 구성하여 지진원 식별이 용이한 최적의 주파수 영역으로 Pg(4-6 Hz)/Lg(5-7 Hz)을 도출하였다. 스펙트럼으로 부터 진폭에 대한 지진 규모와 진원 거리의 영향을 보정함으로써 식별 능력을 향상시키고자 하였다. 지진모멘트에 대한 모서리주파수의 역비례 관계로 인한 규모 의존 효과를 보정하기 위하여, Brune의 진원 모델을 가정한 이론 스펙트럼을 관측 스펙트럼에서 제거하였다. 진원 거리에 따른 감쇠효과를 제거하기 위하여, 최적의 감쇠상수를 계산하여 스펙트럼을 보정하였다. 지진파 전파 경로에 대한 보정으로 지역에 따라 스펙트럼 진폭 비가 달라지는 효과를 제거하였다. 자연지진과 인공지진 표본 집단 사이의 식별 정도를 각 보정 단계에서 Mahalanobis 거리 계산을 통하여 비교하였다. 규모와 거리 및 경로 보정 전후 두 표본 집단 사이의 Mahalanobis 거리가 1.98에서 3.01로 증가하여 식별 결과에 뚜렷한 향상이 있었다.

다성분 탄성파탐사자료를 이용할 경우, P파 뿐만 아니라 PS파를 함께 이용함으로써 공극유체의 판별, 암상의 특성규명, 고해상도의 영상화 등에 유리한 장점들이 있다. 하지만 다성분 탄성파탐사를 통하여 획득한 수직 성분 및 수평 성분 자료에는 각기 다른 특성을 가지는 P파와 PS파가 함께 존재한다. 따라서 다성분 탄성파탐사자료를 이용할 때 P파와 PS파를 분리하는 전처리 과정이 필수적이다. 이 연구에서는, 기존의 정수철, 변중무(2011)가 제안하였던 한 개의 기준 깊이를 이용하여 반사각의 근사값을 계산하고 이를 회전 변환하여 P파와 PS파를 분리하는 방법을 분석한 결과, 다층 구조에서 획득 된 다수의 반사파가 존재하는 자료에의 적용시 한계가 있음을 확인하였다. 이를 개선하기 위하여, 여러 개의 기준 깊이를 이용하여 반사각의 근사값을 계산하고 이를 회전 변환을 한 뒤 중합을 하는 개선된 P파와 PS파의 분리방법을 제안하였다. 마지막으로 이 연구에서 제안하는 방법을 수평 다층 구조의 모델, 단층이 존재하는 모델, Marmousi-2 모델 등에서 획득 된 합성탄성파탐사자료에 적용하여 검증하였다. 그 결과, 급경사 지역이 아닌 완만한 경사의 여러 층이 존재하는 구조에서의 다성분 탄성파탐사자료의 효과적인 파 분리가 가능하였다.

Since there are several places located in active seismic zones in the world, serious damages and losses have happened due to major scaled earthquakes. Especially, structures having different irregularities have been severely damaged or collapsed during these seismic events. Behavior of existing structures under several loading conditions is not completely determined due to some uncertainties. This situation reveals the importance of design and analysis of structures under seismic effects. Several non-linear static procedures have been developed in recent years. Determination of the seismic safety of the existing structures and strengthening techniques are significant civil engineering problems Non-linear methods are defined in codes to determine the performance levels of structures more accurately. However, displacement based ones give more realistic results. These methods provide more reliable evaluation possibilities for existing structures with developing computer technology. In this study, non-linear performance analysis of existing and strengthened steel structures by X shaped bracing members with 3, 5 and 7 stories which have soft story irregularity is performed according to FEMA-356 and Turkish Earthquake Code-2007. Damage ratios of the structural members and global performance levels are determined as well as modal properties and story drift ratios after non-linear finite elements analysis for each structure.

Tuned mass dampers (TMD) are devices employed in vibration control since the beginning of the twentieth century. However, their implementation for controlling the seismic response in civil structures is more recent. While the efficiency of TMD on structures under far-field earthquakes has been demonstrated, the convenience of its employment against near-fault earthquakes is still under discussion. In this context, the study of this type of device is raised, not as an alternative to the seismic isolation, which is clearly a better choice for new buildings, but rather as an improvement in the structural safety of existing buildings. Seismic records with an impulsive character have been registered in the vicinity of faults that cause seismic events. In this paper, the ability of TMD to control the response of structures that experience inelastic deformations and eventually reach collapse subject to the action of such earthquakes is studied. The results of a series of nonlinear dynamic analyses are presented. These analyses are performed on a numerical model of a structure under the action of near-fault earthquakes. The structure analyzed in this study is a steel frame which behaves as a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system. TMD with different mass values are added on the numerical model of the structure, and the TMD performance is evaluated by comparing the response of the structure with and without the control device.

The main focus of this paper is the analysis of the different components of the variability for strong ground motions recorded from earthquakes produced by the Vrancea subcrustal seismic source. The analysis is performed for two ground motion prediction equations: Youngs et al. (1997) and Zhao et al. (2006), recommended within the SHARE project for the Vrancea subcrustal seismic source and which are proposed in the work of Delavaud et al. (2012) and graded best in Vacareanu et al. (2013c). The first phase of the analysis procedure consists of a grading procedure. In the second phase, the single station sigma procedure is applied for both attenuation models in order to reduce some parts of ground motion models' variability produced by the ergodic assumption. The strong ground motion database which is used throughout the study consists of over 400 accelerograms recorded from 9 Vrancea intermediate-depth seismic events. The results of the single station sigma analysis show significant reduction of the standard deviations, especially in the case of the Youngs et al. (1997) attenuation model, which is also graded better than the other selected GMPE.

This paper presents a study on the behavior of an RC bridge under near-field and far-field ground motions. For this purpose, a dynamic nonlinear finite element time history analysis has been conducted. The near-field and far-field records are chosen pairwise from the same events which are fits to the seismic design of the bridge. In order to perform an accurate seismic evaluation, the model has been analyzed under two vertical and horizontal components of ground motions. Parameters of relative displacement, residual displacement, and maximum plastic strain have been considered and compared in terms of near-field and far-field ground motions. In the following, in order to decrease the undesirable effects of near-field ground motions, a viscous damper is suggested and its effects have been studied. In this case, the results show that the near-field ground motions increase maximum relative and residual displacement respectively up to three and twice times. Significant seismic improvements were achieved by using viscous dampers on the bridge model. Somehow under the considered near-field ground motion, parameters of residual and relative displacement decrease dramatically even less than the model without damper under the far-field record of the same ground motion.

The goal of many researchers in the field of structural engineering is to reduce both damage to building structures and discomfort of their inhabitants during strong motion seismic events. The present paper reports on analytical work conducted with this aim in mind as a prior research of experimental study. A four-story, 6.4 m tall, laboratory model of a building is employed as a example structure. The laboratory structure has graphite epoxy columns and each floor is equipped with a chevron brace that serves to resist inter-story drift with the installation of a magnetorheological (MR) damper. An artificial excitation has been generated with a robust range of seismic characteristics. A series of numerical simulations demonstrates that an optimized fuzzy controller is capable of robust performance for a variety of seismic base motions. Optimization of the fuzzy controller is achieved using multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA), i.e. NSGA-II. Multiple objective functions are used in order to reduce both peak and root-means-squared displacement and accelerations at the floor levels of the building.

Performance of a prototype base isolated building located at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG) has been studied here. Two numbers of three storeyed single bay RCC framed prototype buildings were constructed for experimental purpose at IITG, one supported on conventional isolated footings and the other on a seismic isolation system, consisting of lead plug bearings. Force balance accelerometers and a 12 channel strong motion recorder have been used for recording building response during seismic events. Floor responses from these buildings show amplification for the conventional building while 60 to 70% reduction has been observed for the isolated building. Numerical models of both the buildings have been created in SAP2000 Nonlinear. Infill walls have been modeled as compression struts and have been incorporated into the 3D models using Gap elements. System identification of the recorded data has been carried out using Parametric State Space Modeling (N4SID) and the numerical models have been updated accordingly. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of base isolation systems in controlling seismic response of isolated buildings thereby leading to increased levels of seismic protection. The numerical models calibrated by relatively low level of earthquake shaking provides the starting point for modeling the non-linear response of the building when subjected to strong shaking.

지진 모멘트 tensor와 진원함수가 물리학자 방식으로 소개된다. 1970년도 이후에 개발된 지진모멘트 텐사와 진원 함수는 현대지진학에서의 매우 중요한 역할을 하여 왔다. 현대 지진학 언어로 지진 진원 기술은 지하인공폭발, 광산 암석 붕괴, 저수지 유도지진과 같은 인공지진은 물론 공유 지진의 물리현상을 연구하게 하여 왔다. 더우기 고전 지진학에서 중요하지 않았고 고전 지진학에 포함되어 있지 않았던 새로운 개념, 디지털 지진학 관측은 더욱 중요성을 띄게 되었다. 지진학의 기초, 특히 지진진원의 물리학을 응용물리학의 일부분으로 다룰 때가 왔다고 본다.
