Abstract

In a nonlinear site response analysis which is performed in time domain, small strain damping is modeled as viscous damping through use of various forms of Rayleigh damping formulations. Small strain damping of soil is known to be independent of the loading frequency, but the viscous damping is greatly influenced by the loading frequency. The type of Rayleigh damping formulation has a pronounced influence on the dependence. This paper performs a series of nonlinear analyses to evaluate the degree of influence of the viscous damping formulation on Korean soil profiles. Analyses highlight the strong influence of the viscous damping formulation for soil profiles exceeding 30 m in thickness, commonly used in simplified Rayleigh damping formulation overestimating energy dissipation at high frequencies due to artificially introduced damping. When using the full Rayleigh damping formulation and carefully selecting the optimum modes, the artificial damping is greatly reduced. Results are further compared to equivalent linear analyses. The equivalent linear analyses can overestimate the peak ground acceleration even for shallow profiles less than 20 m in thickness.

시간영역에서 수행되는 비선형 지반응답해석에서 지반의 미소변형률 감쇠는 Rayleigh 감쇠공식을 이용하여 점성감쇠로서 모사된다. 실제 지반의 미소변형률 감쇠는 주파수의 영향을 받지 않는 반면 시간영역해석에서의 점성감쇠는 주파수의 영향을 크게 받으며 이의 영향정도는 Rayleigh 감쇠공식에 따라서 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 국내 지반에 대한 비선형 지반응답해석시 감쇠공식의 영향을 평가하고자 일련의 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 점성감쇠공식은 계산된 응답에 매우 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 널리 사용되는 Simplified Rayleigh 공식은 심도 30m 이상의 지반에서 수치적으로 발생하는 인공감쇠로 인하여 고주파수에서의 에너지 소산을 과대예측하는 것으로 나타난 반면, Full Rayleigh 공식을 사용하며 적절하게 최적주파수를 선정한 경우, 인공감쇠는 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 나아가 해석결과를 등가선형해석과 비교한 결과 20m 미만의 얕은 심도 지반에서도 등가선형 해석은 최대가속도를 과대예측 할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
