The propeller shaft has different pattern of behaviors at each static, dynamic, and transient condition to a ship shaft system due to the effects of propeller weight and eccentric thrust, which increases the potential risk of bearing failure by causing local load variations. To prevent this, the various research of the shafting system has been conducted with the emphasis on optimizing the relative slope and oil film retention between propeller shaft and stern tube bearing at quasi-static condition, mainly with respect to the Rules for the Classification of Steel Ships. However, to guarantee a stability of the shafting system, it is necessary to consider the dynamic condition including the transient state due to the sudden change in the stern wakefield during rudder turn. In this context, this study cross-validated the ef ect of propeller shaft behavior on the stern tube bearing during port turn operation, which is a typical transient condition, by using the strain gauge method and displacement sensor for 50,000 DWT medium class tanker. And it was confirmed that the propeller eccentric thrust change showing relief the load of the stern tube bearing.

For safe mooring and towing between the ship and port, the equipment must be designed in accordance with the relevant international regulations. However, some small shipyards and engineering companies often do not fully comprehend the core contents. Therefore, the international regulations regarding towing and mooring equipment are reviewed and the bollard and chock are newly developed based on the Mooring Equipment Guideline 4 (MEG4) standards. A bollard is a mooring equipment used to fix a mooring rope to the hull. It has two columns and is mostly used in a figure eight pattern knots under the mooring condition. The chock, which is used to change the mooring rope direction coming into the ship from outside, is manufactured using a casting with curvature. The two mooring equipment are widely used in the stern, bow, and mid-side. Owing to the increase in the size of container vessels and LNG ships, the mooring rope load has increased and the safe working load of the mooring equipment must be revised. This study summarizes and examines the results of the allowable stress method obtained using finite element analysis modelling. To consider the mesh size effect, a reasonable criteria was suggested by referring the existing class guidance. Additionally, the safe working load was verified through nonlinear collapse analysis, and the elastic region against load increments was confirmed. Furthermore, the proposed evaluation method can be used to develop similar equipment in the near future.

In this paper bearing capacity and safety margin of shallow foundation on weathered soil ground against shear failure by using current design method of allowable stress design (ASD), load resistance factor design (LRFD) based on reliability analysis and partial safety factor design (PSFD) in Eurocode were estimated and compared to each other. Results of the plate loading test used in construction and design were collected and analysis of probability statistics on soil parameters affecting the bearing capacity of shallow foundation was performed to quantify the uncertainty of them and to investigate the resistance bias factor and covalence of ultimate bearing capacity. For the typical sections of shallow foundation in domestic field as examples, reliability index was obtained by reliability analysis (FORM) and the sensitivity analysis on soil parameters of probability variables was performed to investigate the effect of probability variable on shear failure. From stability analysis for these sections by ASD, LRFD with the target reiability index corresponding to the safety factor used in ASD and PSDF, safety margins were estimated respectively and compared.

Storage racks have suffered huge losses due to earthquakes, but related research and regulations are relatively insufficient non-structural elements compared to the structural elements. In this study, we tried to experimentally analyze the behavioral characteristics of storage racks due to external force according to the fixing conditions of the column-foundations connection of storage racks. In general, the column-foundations connection of storage racks is installed according to the user's convenience without installation standards and regulations. For this reason, this study conducted a behavior analysis test on four full-scale storage racks with the condition of column-foundations connection of four typical storage racks. The behavior characteristics analysis test was performed by two-direction of the shake table with El-Centro seismic wave. To confirm the behavior characteristics according to the magnitude of the seismic load, 50% ~ 150% of the seismic waves were increased by 50% for each test. In addition, a resonance search test was conducted to confirm the natural frequency of each storage racks foundations fixing condition. Among the data obtained through the test, the displacement of the top layer and the permanent displacement after the test were compared for each condition to analyze the behavior characteristics of the column-foundations fixed conditions of the storage racks. As a result, the change of natural frequency was small in storage racks due to the change of the conditions of the foundations, and the behavior characteristics were changed due to the difference of the restoring force due to the change of the storage racks foundations condition rather than the influence of the natural frequency of the input load.

Stainless steel sheets are widely used as structural materials for the manufacture of railroad cars and commercial vehicles. These kinds structures used stainless steel sheets are commonly fabricated by using the gas welding. For the fatigue design of gas welded joints such as fillet joints and plug joints, it is necessary to obtain information on the stress distribution at the weldment and the fatigue strength of the gas welded joints. Moreover the influence of the geometrical parameters corresponding to the gas welded joints on the stress distribution and fatigue strength must be evaluated. ${\Delta}P-N_f$ curves were obtained from the data recorded in fatigue tests. Using these results, the ${\Delta}P-N_f$ curves were rearranged according the relation between $\Delta\sigma-N_f$ and the maximum stress at the edge of the fillet welded joint.

가압경수로의 압력경계기기는 약 $300^{\circ}C$, 150기압의 고온고압수환경에서 가동되고 있다. 특히 가압기 밀림관은 고온수와, 저온수가 교차하는 부분으로 열성층 형성으로 열적, 기계적 피로 및 수화학환경이 더해진 부식피로 등에 의하여 손상을 받는다. PWR 원전에서 수화학환경은 대표적으로 용존산소(DO) 5ppb, pH 6~8, 용존수소(DH) <30 cc/kg, 온도 $316^{\circ}C$의 환경을 유지하게 된다. 가압기 밀림관에는 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강이 사용되는데, 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 고온 수화학환경에 민감한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 오스테나이트계 스테인리강을 공기중에서의 기계적특성 및 피로특성을 향상시키기 위하여 질소를 첨가한 스테인리스강을 제조하여 PWR 원전환경에서의 피로균열성장특성을 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 재료는 PWR 원전 가압기 밀림관 소재인 Type 347 스테인리스강에 0.0005 wt%가 첨가된 상용재와 0.11 wt% 질소가 첨가된 재료이다. 사용된 시편형상은 두께 5 mm, 폭 25.4 mm의 CT 시편이다. 수화학환경은 150기압, 온도 $316^{\circ}C$, 용존산소(DO) 5ppb, 용존수소(DH) 30 cc/Kg, pH는 약 7로 유지 하였으며, 응력비 0.1, 하중 반복속도 10Hz의 기계적 조건에서 하중제어로 시험을 진행하였다. 균열길이는 직류전위차법(Direct Current Potential Drop: DCPD)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 질소함량이 증가할수록 동일 사이클에서 균열길이가 늦게 성장하였고, 피로균열성장속도도 약간 늦어지는 것으로 나타났다. 각 스테인리스강의 피로파면 관찰결과 상용재는 약 1 ${\mu}m$의 산화물들이 생성되는 반면 질소첨가 스테인리스강은 약 0.1 ${\mu}m$정도 산화물이 생성되었다. 산화막의 두께도 질소가 첨가됨으로써 상용재에 비해 얇게 생성되었다. 따라서 질소가 첨가됨으로써 부식환경에서 내산화성이 향상되었으며, 이는 피로균열성장특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

Reliable dynamic analysis is essential in order to properly maintain structures so that structural hazards may be minimized. The finite element method (FEM) is proven to be an affective approximate method of structural analysis if proper element types and meshes are chosen. When the method is applied to dynamics analyzed in time domain, the meshes may need to be modified at each time step. As many meshes need to be generated, adaptive mesh generation schemes have become an important part in complex time domain dynamic finite element analyses of structures. In this paper, an adaptive mesh generation scheme for dynamic finite element analyses of structures is described. The concept of representative strain value is used for error estimates and the refinements of meshes use combinations of the h-method (node movement) and the r-method (element division). The validity of the scheme is shown through a cantilever beam example under a concentrated load with varying values. The example shows reasonable accuracy and efficient computing time. Furthermore, the study shows the potential for the scheme's effective use in complex structural dynamic problems such as those under seismic or erratic wind loads.

현재 대부분 사용되는 지하매설물용 뒤채움재는 다짐공법을 많이 사용하고 있으며, 실제로 이러한 방법은 부적절한 다짐으로 인해 침하 및 내구성 저하로 인해 파손을 초래하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 문제를 해결 할 수 있는 하나의 대안으로 유동성 뒤채움재를 이용할 수 있다. 유동성 뒤채움재는 초기 유동성, 시간에 따른 자기 강도 발현 무다짐공법 적용 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장발생토사, 정수장슬러지 및 폐타이어분말 등 재활용 재료를 이용한 유동성 뒤채움재의 기본물성을 평가하였다. 각각의 재활용재료에 대한 입도 및 비중을 평가하였고, 최적배합설계를 결정하였으며, 모형 시험과 유한요소 해석을 위한 기본 물성값을 위해 일축압축시험, 삼축압축시험, 공진주시험 등을 수행하였다. 최적배합설계를 산정하는 과정에서 수행한 실험중 대표적인 시험으로 자가수평능력 및 자기다짐등에 필요한 유동성을 판단하는 Flow시험(ASTM D 6133) 결과 기준으로 정한 20cm이상의 값을 얻을 수 있었으며 일축압축강도의 경우 시공 후 유지 보수가 용이한 강도인 $3.0kg/cm^2{\sim}5.6kg/cm^2$이하로 설계하였으며 28일재령 일축압축강도 결과 $3.15{\sim}3.74kg/cm^2$라는 유지보수에 적당한 결과값을 나타내었다. 이 배합이 현장에서 사용이 가능하다는 것으로 판단하고 현장모형시험과 유한요소해석를 통하여 현장에서 사용하였을 때 관의 변형과 관에 작용하는 하중변화를 확인하고 현장모형시험과 유한요소해석 간의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 현장 모형 시험은 현장과 비슷하게 제작된 모형을 이용하였으며 최대한 현장과 비슷한 조건에서 뒤채움재를 타설과정 중과 타설이 완료된 상태에서 7일 양생 후 하중재하와 같이 두가지 경우에서 수직 수평토압, 관의 수직 수평변위, 관의 종단변형을 측정하였다. 유한요소해석 프로그램은 Midas GTS를 이용하여 실시하였으며 관의 변형률, 유효응력을 측정하여 규명하였다.

This paper reviews fundamentals of a pseudo-static seismic design/analysis method for soil-reinforced segmental retaining walls. A comparative study on NCMA and FHWA seismic design guidelines, which are one of the most well known design guidelines for mechanically stabilized earth walls, was also performed. The results demonstrate that there exist significant discrepancies in the results of external stability analysis despite the same calculation model used in the two guidelines, due primarily to different seismic coefficient selection criteria. It is also demonstrated that the internal stability calculation model for NCMA guideline tends to yield larger seismic reinforcement force in the shallower reinforcement layers, resulting in an increased number of reinforcement layers at the top of reinforced wall and increased reinforcement lengths to ensure adequate anchorage capacity. The internal stability calculation model adopted by FHWA guideline, however, leads to redistribution of dynamic force to the lower reinforcement layers and thus results n an opposite trend of NCMA guideline. Findings from this study clearly demonstrate a need for more in-depth studies to develop a generally acceptable design/analysis method.

The cost of underground work is a dominant factor to determine the total construction fee. It is generally 2 ${\~}$ 2.5 times higher than that of above ground for building with the same height. 'A new precast prestressed framing plan for underground parking building' was suggested with the beam of the least depth - U-type beams. The depth of regular rectangular reinforced concrete beam which is currently used in the underground parking of apartments could be reduced up to 12 ${\~}$ 34cm/story due to the development of a U-beams from the optimum process. Two full scale prototype U-beams were tested in this study. It was found that the Wide U-beams in the test showed higher strength than calculated nominal and design, however need to provide temporary supports to meet the flexural moment of construction load at the simply supported state before the lopping concrete hardens.
