Recently, the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes are increasing worldwide. In Korea, the Gyeongju earthquake (2016) and the Pohang earthquake (2017) caused structural damage to many buildings. Since Korea's seismic design standards were revised to three or more stories in 2005, five-story buildings built before the revision are not designed to be earthquake-resistant. In this situation, if strong earthquake occurs in Korea, there will be great damage. To prevent this, seismic retrofit of buildings should be necessary. The seismic retrofit of classical method is mainly used to reduce the displacement generated in the structure by strengthening stiffness and strength. However, since this method increases the base shear force of the structure, it is difficult to apply it to buildings which have weak foundation. Therefore, in this study, we propose the damper system that reduces the response displacement of buildings and suppresses the increase of base shear force by using high damping rubber and steel. And the seismic performance of the damper system is verified through the experiment and the seismic analysis of the structure.

본 연구에서는 전단벽-모멘트골조 시스템으로서 전단벽이 주로 횡력을 부담하는 철근콘크리트 건물을 대상으로 다양한 설치형식과 마찰력의 총량 및 분포를 갖는 마찰형 감쇠기의 제진보강 효과를 수치해석을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 감쇠기의 설치형식으로서 전단벽에 인접한 대각가새형, 벽체가 없는 골조를 보강하는 대각가새형 및 벽체 단부를 보강하는 수직경계요소형을 고려하였다. 하중기준 강화로 설계용보다 크게 증가한 지진하중에 대해 건물의 재료비선형성을 고려한 비선형시간이력해석을 수행하여 에너지소산, 횡하중 및 부재손상도 측면에서 마찰형 감쇠기의 제진성능을 비교 분석하였다. 기준마찰력의 30% 수준의 총마찰력을 갖는 벽체보강 대각가새형 설치형식이 전반적으로 가장 우수한 제진성능을 보이며,이 경우에 마찰력 배분방식은 중요하지 않았다. 또한 일부층에 집중설치함으로써 전층설치에 약간 못미치는 제진성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

Little has been understood about the seismic behavior of curved bridges due to the different structural characteristics compared to straight bridges. In this study, a simple numerical model, widely used for seismic analysis, is modified for a more realistic estimation of the seismic behavior. The seismic response of curved bridges obtained with the modified simple numerical model was compared with the result using a more sophisticated model to verify the feasibility. Seismic analyses were performed on three-span continuous curved bridges, which is a structural system widely used in highway structures. Numerical model of the three-span continuous curved bridges were subjected to seismic loads in diverse directions. From the result of the analysis. it was found that the direction of the seismic load have significant effect of the seismic behavior of curved bridges when the central angle exceeds 90 degrees.

In the conventional design of retaining structures in a seismic zone, seismic inertia forces are commonly assumed to act upwards and towards the wall facing to cause a maximum active thrust or act upwards and towards the backfill to cause a minimum passive resistance. However, under certain circumstances this design approach might underestimate the dynamic active thrust or overestimate the dynamic passive resistance acting on a rigid retaining structure. In this study, a new analytical method for dynamic active and passive forces in c-${\phi}$ soils with an infinite slope was proposed based on the Rankine earth pressure theory and the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion, to investigate the influence of seismic inertia force directions on the total active and passive forces. Four combinations of seismic acceleration with both vertical (upwards or downwards) and horizontal (towards the wall or backfill) directions, were considered. A series of dimensionless dynamic active and passive force charts were developed to evaluate the key influence factors, such as backfill inclination ${\beta}$, dimensionless cohesion $c/{\gamma}H$, friction angle ${\phi}$, horizontal and vertical seismic coefficients, $k _h$ and $k_v$. A comparative study shows that a combination of downward and towards-the-wall seismic inertia forces causes a maximum active thrust while a combination of upward and towards-the-wall seismic inertia forces causes a minimum passive resistance. This finding is recommended for use in the design of retaining structures in a seismic zone.

Semi-active control systems have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because these systems can operate on battery power alone, proving advantageous during seismic events when the main power source of the structure may likely fail. The behavior of semi-active devices is often highly non-linear and requires suitable and efficient control algorithm. This paper presents the comparative study and performance of variable semi-active friction dampers by using recently proposed predictive control law with direct output feedback. In this control law, the variable slip force of semi-active variable friction damper is kept slightly lower than the critical friction force, which allows the damper to remain in the slip state during an earthquake, resulting in improved energy dissipation capability. This control algorithm is able to produce a continuous and smooth slip forces for a variable friction damper. The numerical examples include a structure controlled with multiple variable semi-active friction dampers and with multiple passive friction dampers. A parameter, gain multiplier defined as the ratio of damper force to critical damper control force, is investigated under four different real earthquake ground motions, which plays an important role in the present control algorithm of the damper. The numerically evaluated optimum parametric value is considered for the analysis of the structure with dampers. The numerical results of the variable friction dampers show better performance over the passive dampers in reducing the seismic response of structures.

In this paper, the underground box structure is discretized as a system with limited freedoms, and the explosion seismic wave is regarded as series of dynamic force acting on the lumped masses. Based on the local deformation theory, the elastic resistances of the soil are simplified as the effects of numbers of elastic chain-poles. Matrix force method is adopted to analyze the deformation of the structure in elastic half space. The structural dynamic equations are established and by solving these equations, the axial force, the moment and the displacement of the structure are all obtained. The influences of size ratio, the incident angle and the rock type on the dynamic response of the underground box structure are all investigated through a case study by using the proposed method.

The seismic analysis of structures without applying the effects of soil can undermine functional objectives of structure so that it can affect all the desired purposes at the design and control stages of the structure. In this research, employing OpenSees and MATLAB software simultaneously and developing a definite three-dimensional finite element model of a high-rise concrete structure, designed using performance-based plastic design approach, the performance of Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and Active Mass Damper (AMD) is both examined and compared. Moreover some less noted aspects such as nonlinear interaction of soil and structure, uplift, nonlinear behavior of structure and structural torsion have received more attention. For this purpose, the analysis of time history on the structural model has been performed under 22 far-field accelerogram records. Examining a full range of all structural seismic responses, including lateral displacement, acceleration, inter-story drift, lost plastic energy, number of plastic hinges, story shear force and uplift. The results indicate that TMD performs better than AMD except for lateral displacement and inter-story drift to control other structural responses. Because on the one hand, nonlinear structural parameters and soil-structure interaction have been added and on the other hand, the restriction on the control force applied that leads up to saturation phenomenon in the active control system affect the performance of AMD. Moreover, the control force applied by structural control system has created undesirable acceleration and shear force in the structure.

This study aims to determine the cause of the load resistance loss in storage racks that can be attributed to external forces such as earthquakes and to improve safety by developing reinforcement systems that can prevent load resistance loss. To this end, a static cyclic loading test was performed on pallet racks commonly used in logistics warehouses. The test results indicated that a pallet rack exposed to an external force loses more than 50% of its load resistance owing to the damage caused to column-beam joints. Three reinforcement systems were developed for preventing load resistance loss in storage racks exposed to an external force and for performing differentiated target functions: column reinforcement device, seismic damper, and viscoelastic damper. Shake table testing was performed to evaluate the earthquake response and verify the performance of these reinforcement systems. The results confirmed that, the maximum displacement, which causes the loss of load resistance and the permanent deformation of racks under external force, is reduced using the developed reinforcement devices. Thus, the appropriate selection of the developed reinforcement devices by users can help secure the safety of the storage racks.

현행 내진설계 규준에서 사용하고 있는 반응수정계수는 설계지진하중과 유사한 지진발생시 구조물이 비선형 거동을 하도록 탄성응답에서 요구되는 밑면전단력 값을 낮추는 계수라 할 수 있다. 따라서 반응수정계수는 하중저감계수(force reduction factor)라고 할 수 있으며, 이러한 값들은 경험적으로 결정된 것이어서 예상지진에 대하여 구조설계자가 설계한 건물이 어느정도의 비선형 거동을 할지는 예측하기가 힘들다. 본 연구에서는 목표가 되는 연성비(target ductility ratio)에 따라 요구되는 밑면전단력의 값을 구하고 이를 규준에서 요구하는 값과 비교할 것이다. 만약 요구되는 값이 규준 값 보다 크다면 이는 구조물이 가지는 부가강도(overstrength)나 잉여력(redundancy)이 담당해야 한다. 모멘트연성골조 건물을 설계한 후 이를 push-over 해석에 의하여 부가강도를 찾아 보아 요구강도와 비교할 것이다.

노화된 교각의 횡철근, 주철근, 겹침이음의 철근부식은 교각의 내진성능에 직접적인 영향을 끼친다. 횡철근 및 주철근의 철근부식은 교각의 전단강도 및 휨강도를 각각 직접적으로 감소시킨다. 겹침이음에 철근부식이 생긴다면, 특히 내진설계되지 않은 기존 노후 교각의 휨강도 및 휨연성을 상당히 감소시킨다. 더불어, 교각에 작용하는 축하중이 증가하면 교각의 전단강도가 증가하게 된다. 이러한 영향들을 고려하여, 본 연구에서는 노화를 고려한 합리적인 내진성능평가를 위해, 앞서 언급한 철근부식, 겹침이음, 축하중이 형상비 2이하인 교각의 전단거동과 휨거동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 실험을 통해 확인한다. 철근부식으로 인해 전단파괴가 일어날 것으로 예상되는 교각에서 오히려 휨파괴가 발생하는 것을 확인한다. 이러한 파괴모드와 그 원인을 분석하고 내진보강 시 필요한 고려사항을 제시하였다.
