Seismic Design Code

New requirement is claimed for the seismic design method of long-span railway bridges with the rapid development of high-speed railway construction in China during the last decade. However, the present design code of our country seems not keep pace with the engineering practice. The existing method, although embodying the philosophy of performance-based earthquake resistance design framework, in ‘the seismic design code of railway engineering’ is only applicable to those girder bridges with spans smaller than 150m. Therefore, the authors introduce the anti-seismic design measures of highway bridges from the Current China Specification to check the seismic safety of a long-span railway arch bridge as an applying example. Different seismic fortification criterions and property objects of the structural system and components are supplied in order to optimize the anti-seism performance of this bridge. The numerical results show that this kind of approach is helpful to improve the dynamical properties and seismic performances of large span railway bridges.

Abstract. After the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake and the 2017 Pohang earthquake struck the Korean peninsula, securing financial stability for earthquake risk has become an important issue in Korea. Many domestic researchers are currently studying potential earthquake risk. However, empirical analysis and statistical approach are ambiguous in the case of Korea because no major earthquake has ever occurred on the Korean peninsula since Korean Meteorological Agency started monitoring earthquakes in 1978. This study focuses on evaluating possible losses due to earthquake risk in Seoul, the capital of Korea, by using catastrophe model methodology integrated with GIS (Geographic Information System). The building information such as structure and location is taken from the building registration database and the replacement cost for building is obtained from insurance information. As the seismic design code in KBC (Korea Building Code) is similar to the seismic design code of UBC (Uniform Building Code), the damage functions provided by HAZUS-MH are used to assess the damage state of each building in event of an earthquake. 12 earthquake scenarios are evaluated considering the distribution and characteristics of active fault zones in the Korean peninsula, and damages with loss amounts are calculated for each of the scenarios.

In FY 2000, a 3-year testing program of eroded piping was initiated with the following objectives: 1) to ascertain the seismic safety margins for eroded piping designed under the current seismic design code, 2) to clarify the elasto-plastic response and ultimate strength of eroded nuclear piping. A series of tests on eroded piping components and eroded piping systems was planned. In this paper, the results of those tests are presented and analyzed, focusing on the influence of the form and the number of thinned-wall portions on the fatigue life of the piping.

<p>The heavy casualties and property losses caused by the earthquake this huge disaster, making high-rise building seismic become the focus of attention. Our new building seismic design code (GB50011-2001) (hereinafter referred to as "Seismic Design Code”) continue to be used (GBJ-89) specification to determine the "three earthquake performance objectives, two-stage design step" seismic design, and made many important supplement and perfect. The new seismic design of buildings in terms of requirements for introducing means as constraints optimization design, optimization design closer to engineering practice.</p>
