스프링클러설비와 방화구획 구성요소는 화재시 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 기존에 15층이하 아파트는 스프링클러설비가 없어 화재시 방화구획에 의존해야 되는데 방화구획 관련 설계, 시공, 감리가 미비하여 화재에 쉽게 노출되어 있다. 설비슬리브, 전선관, 덕트등이 방화구획으로 되어 있는 부분을 관통하는 경우 그틈을 시멘트모르타르나 기타 불연재료로 메우도록 규정하고 있으나 화재발생시 관통부를 메운 재료의 내화성능 부실, 균열, 탈락 등으로 화재안전성이 떨어진다. 현장에서의 설계, 시공, 감리등 대응하는 자세가 너무 허술하다. 설계에 방화댐퍼, 관통부 틈새의 내용이 반영 되지 않고 건축, 기계, 전기, 통신, 소방등 각 분야의 허가 도면에 도장이 날인되어 나타난다. 시공자는 잘못된 설계도면을 가지고 허가 도면이라며 도면되로 시공한다. 또한 실리콘, 우레탄폼등을 방화구획 관통부 틈새에 주입하며, 작업자도 비숙련자로서 개념도 없이 방화용실란트와 우레탄폼을 혼용해가며 작업을 한다.

The present work reports the mismatch limit loads for a V-groove welded pipe for a circumferential crack using finite element (FE) analyses. To integrate the effect of groove angles on mismatch limit loads, one geometry-related slenderness parameter was modified by relevant geometric parameters including the groove angle, crack depth, and root opening based on plastic deformation patterns in the theory of plasticity. Circumferential through-wall cracks are located at the centre of the weldments with two different groove angles ($45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$). With regard to the loading conditions, axial (longitudinal) tension and bending are applied for all cases. For the parent and weld metal, elastic-perfectly plastic materials are considered to simulate and analyze under- and over-matching conditions in plasticity. The overall results from the proposed solutions are found to be similar to the FE results.

For the purpose of assessing structural integrity at a level of complexity and accuracy appropriate for the situation, integrity assessment methods are formulated with the following methods. One is three-tier assessment method of the revised BSI PD 6493 which considers stable crack growth effect, the others are limit load analysis which estimates the plastic collapse load and stability assessment method which considers stable crack growth of ductile material exactly using J-integral and tearing modulus. Besides, integrity assessments for center cracked panel(CCP) specimen and the circumferential through-cracked pipe are carried out and reliability analysis is accomplished by the first order reliability method which is one of the conventional reliability methods. Also the accuracy of the present method is verified by Monte Carlo method.

In this study, a shaking table test was performed for the evaluation of the failure capacity of an anchor foundation system in the case of an aged condition. For the shaking table test, three kinds of specimens were manufactured as follows: 1) a non-damaged anchor; 2) a specimen with cracks running through the anchor; and 3) a specimen with cracks along the expected corn-shape fracture away from the anchor. A dynamic characteristic was determined through a measurement of the frequency response function (FRF), and the seismic capacity was evaluated by using a shaking table test. Failure capacities were calculated using an acceleration response and it was compared with the anchor design code.

Recently, several circumferential cracks were found in the control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) nozzles of U.S. nuclear power plants. According to the accident analyses, coolant leaks were caused by primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC). The tensile residual stresses caused by welding, corrosion sensitive materials, and boric acid solution cause PWSCC. Therefore, an exact estimation of the residual stress is important for reliable operation. In this study, finite element simulations were conducted to investigate the effects of the tube geometry (thickness and radius) on the residual stresses in a J-groove weld for different CRDM tube locations. Two different tube locations were considered (center-hole and steepest side hill tube), and the tube radius and thickness variables ($r_o/t$=2, 3, 4) included two different reference values ($r_o$=51.6, t=16.9mm).

Two acceleration methods, an effective force method (or inertia method) and a large mass method, have been applied for performing time history seismic analysis. The acceleration methods for uncracked structures have been verified via previous studies. However, no study has identified the validity of these acceleration methods for cracked piping. In this study, the validity of the acceleration methods for through-wall cracked piping is assessed via time history implicit dynamic elastic seismic analysis from the viewpoint of linear elastic fracture mechanics. As a result, it is identified that both acceleration methods show the same results for cracked piping if a large mass magnitude and maximum time increment are adequately selected.

The leak-before-break(LBB) design on the large structures such as ship's hull, tank structure, pressure vessels etc. is one of the most inportant subjects for the evaluation and the assurance of safety. In these structures, various loads are acting. In some structural members, therefore, out-of-plane stress due to bending often may become with in-plane stress due to stretching. In the present report, the characteristics of fatigue life and peneration behaviour from a surface cracked plate under combined tension and bending have been studied experimentally and analytically by using eccentricity. Estimation of fatigue crack growth was done with the Newman-Raju formula before penetration, and with the stress intensity factor after penetration proposed by the author. Calculated aspect ratio showed the good agreement with the experimental result. It was also found that particular crack growth behaviour and crack shape after penetration can be satisfactorily evaluated using the K solution proposed.

previously, several basic studies in the experimental analysis of stress intensity factors of cracks by slab analogy have been presented by authors. But, for the application of above mentioned method to the analysis of the arbitrarily distributed cracks, there still is several bottlenecks to be overcome in terms of its experimental process and data treatment. Moreover, authors recently proposed an improved experimental method to use the fixed slab analogy device which has promised more accurate measurement of S.I.F. of small cracks. In this paper, for the completion of slab analogy analysis of distributed cracks, a grating imaginary rotation method is introduced. And, to prove its validity, this combined method is applied to the determination of stress intensity factors of theoretically known distributed cracks. The results show good agreement with the existing theoretical solutions and physical crack propagation tendencies.
