With recent trends of super-tallness, atypical plan shapes and zoning constructions in high-rise buildings, a structural stability of the building under construction is arising as a key issue for design and construction plan. To ensure the structural stability under construction, the differential column shortening of vertical members, the lateral displacement of tower frames, and differential settlement of raft foundation by unbalanced distributions of a tower self-weight before the completion of a lateral load resisting system should be checked by construction sequence analysis, which should be performed by systematic combinations with structural health monitoring, construction compensation program, and construction panning. This paper presents the scheme of zone-based construction sequence analysis by using the existing commercial analysis program, to check the stability of high-rise building under construction. This scheme is applied to 3-dimensional structural analysis for a real high-rise building under construction. The analysis includes real construction zoning plans and schedules as well as creep and shrinkage effects and time-dependent properties of concrete. The simplified construction sequence and assumed material properties were continuously updated with the change on construction schedule and correlations with in-situ measurement data.

The cavities created by underground mining, if remained unfilled, can cause ground settlement and surface subsidence as a result of relaxation and breakdown of the carven roof. Construction of structures above the underground mine cavity will have serious problems concerning both structural stability and safely even if the cavity is back-filled. This study was conducted to confirm the location and condition of the cavern as well as the state of the back-fill in A mine area using core logging and borehole camera. The bearing capacity and other mechanical properties of the ground were also measured by the standard penetration test(SPT). Obtained data were used to assess the stability of the ground and the structures to be built by numerical analysis using FLAC. The site investigation results showed that the mine cavities were filled with materials such as boulder and silty sand(SM by unified classification). Result of the numerical analyses indicated that constructing building structures on the over-lying ground above the filled cavities is secure against the potential problems such as surface subsidence and ground settlement.

The structures and properties of Cu nanowires have been investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. Cylindrical multi-shell Cu nanowires maintain their structures at room temperature and their structural properties are different from the structural properties of nanowires with face-centered-cubic structure. The results from nanopillar and tensile testing of cylindrical multi-shell Cu nanowire showed structures related to pentagonal needle-like crystal structures. Since the subunits of pentagonal nanowire with needle-like crystal are face-centered-cubic structure, pentagonal multi-shell nanowires are stable one-dimensional structures in nanostructured materials.

This paper presents substructural identification methods for the assessment of local damages in complex and large structural systems. For this purpose, an auto-regressive and moving average with stochastic input (ARMAX) model is derived for a substructure to process the measurement data impaired by noises. Using the substructural methods, the number of unknown parameters for each identification can be significantly reduced, hence the convergence and accuracy of estimation can be improved. Secondly, the damage index is defined as the ratio of the current stiffness to the baseline value at each element for the damage assessment. The indirect estimation method was performed using the estimated results from the identification of the system matrices from the substructural identification. To demonstrate the proposed techniques, several simulation and experimental example analyses are carried out for structural models of a 2-span truss structure, a 3-span continuous beam model and 3-story building model. The results indicate that the present substructural identification method and damage estimation methods are effective and efficient for local damage estimation of complex structures.

오늘날 폐기물 매립장의 구조적 안정성문제는 국내.외적으로 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있으며, 특히, 사면의 차수체계에서의 안정성에 대한 논란이 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 또한, 우리 나라는 주민들의 NIMBY 현상과 국토의 효율적 활용을 위하여, 폐기물 매립장을 해안매립지나 산간지방에 많이 건설하고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 경우 사면구배가 급해지고 토목섬유의 활용이 불가피해져 안정성에 많은 문제점을 내포하게 된다. 이 연구는 폐기물 매립장 사면의 안정성을 해석하기 위하여, 원심모형실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 이론식 및 사면안정 해석 프로그램을 이용하여 안전을 산정하였다. 이 연구에 사용한 토목섬유 점토차수재(GCLs)의 팽윤도는 침출수와 증류수의 투과수에 대하여 22~25%의 팽윤도를 보였으며, 투수계수는 투과수가 침출수일 경우, 1.47$\times$10-10cm/sec, 증류수일 경우, 8.75$\times$10-11cm/sec의 값을 나타내었다. 원심모형실험 결과, 토목섬유 점토차수재의 포화여부와 지오멤브레인(HDPE)의 표면거칠기에 따라 사면 안전율이 각각 변화함을 알 수 있었으며, 표면이 거친 지오멤브레인과 건조한 토목섬유 점토차수재를 사용하였을 때, 파괴가 발생되지 않아 사면안정성이 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 또한, 이론에 의해 도출된 사면의 안전율과 사면안정 해석프로그램에 의한 안전율 계산 시, 전자의 경우가 후자의 경우보다 작게 평가됨을 알 수 있다.

Private financing is playing an increasing role in public infrastructure construction projects worldwide. However, private investors/operators are exposed to the financial risk of low profitability due to the inaccurate estimation of facility demand, operation income, maintenance costs, etc. From the operator's perspective, a sound and thorough financial feasibility study is required to establish the appropriate capital structure of a project. Operators tend to reduce the equity amount to minimize the level of risk exposure, while creditors persist to raise it, in an attempt to secure a sufficient level of financial involvement from the operators. Therefore, it is important for creditors and operators to reach an agreement for a balanced capital structure that synthetically considers both profitability and repayment capacity. This paper presents an optimal capital structure model for successful private infrastructure investment. This model finds the optimized point where the profitability is balanced with the repayment capacity, with the use of the concept of utility function and multi-objective GA (Generic Algorithm)-based optimization. A case study is presented to show the validity of the model and its verification. The research conclusions provide a proper capital structure for privately-financed infrastructure projects through a proposed multi-objective model.

거시모형(巨視模型)을 통하여 과거 우리나라의 고성장(高成長)을 이해하고 주요(主要) 정책변수(政策變數)와 외생변수(外生變數)가 경제에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해서는 중장기적으로 안정적이고 신뢰할 수 있는 거시모형(巨視模型)이 작성되어야 한다. 그러나 단순히 과거의 적합도(適合度)를 향상시키거나 단기(短期)시뮬레이션의 결과만을 토대로 작성된 거시모형은 중장기적인 안정성(安定性) 내지는 신뢰성(信賴性)을 확보하지 못할 수도 있다. 본고(本稿)에서는 거사모형의 작성에 있어서도 구조적(構造的) VAR모형(模型)에서처럼 모형의 중장기 특성을 파악하는 것이 중요함을 지적하였다. 구조적 VAR모형에서는 대부분의 이론이 수용할 수 있는 "수요충격(需要衝擊)은 장기에 실질성장에 영향을 미치지 않는다"는 최소한의 가정(假定)이 모형(模型)에 처음부터 직접적(直接的)으로 내재(內在)되도록 하고 있으나, 본고에서는 거시전망모형(巨視展望模型)의 작성을 위하여 중장기적(中長期的)인 시뮬레이션을 통하여 간접적(間接的)으로 위의 가정(假定)을 확인하는 방법을 택하였다. 이에 추가하여 중장기 전망을 시도했을 때 다른 나라의 경험과 크게 배치되는 결과가 나온 경우에는 모형을 수정하는 것이 필요함을 투자(投資) 및 소비식(消費式)의 예(例)를 들어서 논의하였다. 본고(本稿)의 공헌은, 중장기적으로 안정적이고 신뢰할 수 있는 거시전망모형(巨視展望模型)의 작성에 있어서 중장기시뮬레이션과 중장기전망의 결과가 모형작성자의 선험적(先驗的) 기대(期待)에 수렴될 때까지 모형의 수정을 해나가는 반복과정을 전망모형(展望模型) 작성에 있어 하나의 방법론(方法論)으로 제시한 데 있다.

최근 경제적인 연비와 효율적인 가동성, 배기가스 감소의 이유로 초임계압 보일러가 각광받고 있다. 하지만 보일러 연소로는 용접된 튜브로 구성되어 있기 때문에 연소 시 내부압력에 의해 발생되는 진동에 취약하여 이에 대한 진동안정성 평가가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CFD 기법을 기반으로 수행한 변동압력 해석과 단순화한 모델을 이용한 진동해석을 통하여 보일러 운전 시의 진동안정성 평가를 수행하였다. 변동압력해석은 정상상태 CFD 해석을 수행하고, 이를 이용한 음향모드 해석과 비정상상태 CFD 해석에서 변동압력을 추출하고, 음향모드 해석결과와 주파수 성분을 비교하여 검증하였으며 이를 진동해석 모델에 기진력으로 적용하여 보일러 연소로의 진동해석을 수행하였다. 진동해석 모델은 동특성을 고려한 등가물성치를 이용하여 연소로의 복잡한 구조를 단순화하였으며 buckstay 등의 방진구조를 구현하여 보일러의 진동안정성을 평가하는 기법을 정립하였다. 해석결과, 보일러 운전조건에서 비정상상태 CFD 해석을 통해 구한 변동압력과 진동해석을 통해 얻은 가속도 응답은 안정적 수준인 것으로 확인하였다. 이는 향후 유사한 보일러 안정성 평가에 적용이 가능하고, buckstay 등 보일러의 방진 구조 설계 및 평가에도 적용할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
