액체금속로는 기존의 가압경수로와는 달리 55$0^{\circ}C$ 정도의 고온에서 운전이 되므로 고온 열응력이 중요한 문제로 대두되며 따라서 고은에서의 크립(Creep) 변형, 반복되는 기동과 정지 등으로 인한 되풀이 소성변형, 라체팅(Ratchetting), 크립과 소성의 상호작용 및 크립과 피로의 상호작용 등의 평가에 대한 기술 확립과 고온구조물에 대한 우리의 독자적인 설계방법을 개발하는 것이 필요하다 본 연구에서는 범용 유한요소해석코드인 ABAQUS의 축대칭 요소를 이용해서 액체 금속로 원자로용기와 이에 부착된 열소매(Thermal sleeve)를 Y-형태의 구조물로 모델링하여 반복되는 열천이하중에 대한 비탄성 구조해석을 수행하고 크립효과에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 해석결과 액체금속로와 같은 고온구조물에 대하여 반복 열천이 하중과 고온 지속시간이 유발하는 크립효과가 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

최근 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 지진하중 및 이와 유사한 진동하중에 대한 내진안전성 문제가 대두되어 이에 관한 모형공식체의 진동실험 및 실존구조물의 동적구조특성의 해석 등에 의한 내진성 향상을 위한 보강방법이 강구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 진동하중에 파괴되기 쉬룬 철근 콘크리트 보와 기둥이 상호 교차되는 죠인트 구역의 동적파괴거동을 확인하기 위하여 "L"형 철근 콘크리트 죠인트와 부재를 제작, 모의지진하중 조건하에서의 동적 응답특성을 구명하고자 반복하중에 따른 joint구역과 보 및 기둥의 동적파괴거동을 고찰하였다. 특히 내진구조물 설계에 주요 요소인 연성(m)이 0.5, 1.0, 3.0일 때 각각 3회씩 그리고 m=5.0일 때 부재가 완전히 파괴될 때까지 4회 반복하여 반복하중을 작용시키면서 이때의 부재의 극한강도 및 그 변형성능을 LVDT System을 사용하여 조사분석하였으며, 파괴성상은 물론 배근효과에 대하여도 이를 구명하고자 노력하였다. 본 연구 결과 무엇보다도 부재의 강성과 내력의 향상 및 신축만곡, 전단변형 등의 변형성능의 개선 그리고 보의 휨파괴에 대한 보강 및 joint구역의 전단보강은 내진구조물 설계를 위하여 중요 사항임을 확인하였다.

An efficient and numerically stable eigensolution method for structures with multiple natural frequencies is presented. The proposed method is developed by improving the well-known subspace iteration method with shift. A major difficulty of the subspace iteration method with shift is that because of singularity problem, a shift close to an eigenvalue can not be used, resulting in slower convergence. In this paper, the above singularity problem has been solved by introducing side conditions without sacrifice of convergence. The proposed method is always nonsingular even if a shift is on a distinct eigenvalue or multiple ones. This is one of the significant characteristics of the proposed method. The nonsingularity is proved analytically. The convergence of the proposed method is at least equal to that of the subspace iteration method with shift, and the operation counts of above two methods are almost the same when a large number of eigenpairs are required. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, two numerical examples are considered.

When RC structures are repaired or strengthened using FRP, it is required to cure for some Period under certain air temperature and then it is hopeful to avoid detrimental action caused by external vibration sources during that period. Therefore, an effect of repeated loading during Carbon Fiber Sheet(CFS) strengthening Process on the strengthening efficiency is studied through an experiment for a number of RC beams. Experimental results showed that the curing time of 24 hours without any repeated loading after CFS attachment were recommended for 1 ply strengthening, and 12 hours for 2 plies strengthening.

The initiation and growth processes of cyclic ice body in porous systems are affected by the thermo-physical and mass transport properties, as well as gradients of temperature and chemical potentials. Furthermore, the diffusivity of deicing chemicals shows significantly higher value under cyclic freeze-thaw conditions. Consequently, the disintegration of concrete structures is aggravated at marine environments, higher altitudes, and northern areas. However, the properties of cyclic freeze-thaw with crack growth and the deterioration by the accumulated damages are hard to identify in tests. In order to predict the accumulated damages by cyclic freeze-thaw, a regression analysis by the response surface method (RSM) is used. The important parameters for cyclic freeze-thawdeterioration of concrete structures, such as water to cement ratio, entrained air pores, and the number of cycles of freezing and thawing, are used to compose the limit state function. The regression equation fitted to the important deterioration criteria, such as accumulated plastic deformation, relative dynamic modulus, or equivalent plastic deformations, were used as the probabilistic evaluations of performance for the degraded structural resistance. The predicted results of relative dynamic modulus and residual strains after 300 cycles of freeze-thaw show very good agreements with the experimental results. The RSM result can be used to predict the probability of occurrence for designer specified critical values. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate the life cycle management of concrete structures considering the accumulated damages due to the cyclic freeze-thaw using the proposed prediction method.

터보 부호는 반복적인 복호 알고리즘을 사용함으로써 가산성 백색 가우시안 잡음(AWGN) 채널 환경에서 Shannon 한계에 가까운 성능을 보이는 오류정정 방식으로 제안되었으나, 반복 연산량에 따른 복호 지연과 인터리버에 따른 지연에 의해 실시간 처리의 어려움이라는 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 터보 부호의 성능을 저하시키지 않는 범위에서 적절한 초기 임계값 설정에 따라 불필요한 반복 복호 횟수를 줄일 수 있는 터보 복호기 구조를 제안한다. 적절한 초기 임계값 설정은 LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio)값의 평균값과 분산, 복호기의 출력에 대한 BER에 근거하여 여러 번의 모의 실험을 통해서 최적의 값으로 결정된다. 제안한 방식은 초기 임계값을 적절히 선택하면 손실이 없는 범위 내에서 반복횟수를 감소시킴으로써 기존의 정해진 반복횟수로 인한 큰 복호 지연을 미연에 방지하고, 이에 따른 계산량 감소는 저전력의 효과도 가져온다. 성능 평가를 위해 BER = $10^{-6}$이내이고, 전송속도가 32kbps 이상인 IMT2000의 고속 데이터 전송 환경에서 모의 실험을 하였다. 실험 결과로 기존의 정해진 반복횟수를 갖는 터보 복호기에 비해 SNR 변동(0~3dB)에서 평균적으로 55~90% 정도의 감소된 반복횟수를 검증하였다.

In a material, micro-cracks can be progressively occurred, propagated and finally lead to failure when it is subjected to cyclic or periodic loading less than its ultimate strength. This phenomenon, fatigue, is usually considered in a metal, alloy and structures under repeated loading conditions. In underground structures, a static creep behavior rather than a dynamic fatigue behavior is mostly considered. However, when compressed air is stored in a rock cavern, an inner pressure is periodically changed due to repeated in- and-out process of compressed air. Therefore mechanical properties of surrounding rock mass and an inner lining system under cyclic loading/unloading conditions should be investigated. In this study, considering an underground lined rock cavern for compressed air energy storage (CAES), the mechanical properties of a lining system, that is, concrete lining and plug under periodic loading/unloading conditions were characterized through cyclic bending tests and shear tests. From these tests, the stability of the plug was evaluated and the S-N line of the concrete lining was obtained.

One of the reasons for brittle failure in reinforced concrete structures subjected to severe earthquake is due to large slip between reinforcing steel and concrete. This study aims to evaluate effects of deformation patterns of ribbed reinforcing bars on bond under cyclic loading. Bond test specimens were constructed with machined bars to test the newly developed reinforcing bars with high relative rib areas. The degree of confinement is also another key parameter in this bond test. From the test results under monotonic and cyclic loading, bond strength and stiffness were evaluated. Bond strength and bond stiffness increase as relative rib areas under cyclic loading for specimens highly confined by transverse reinforcement. The increase rates of the bond performance under cyclic loading are larger than those of specimens under monotonic loading. The developed bars with high relative rib areas will contribute for better bond performance for reinforced concrete structures subjected to severe seismic loadings.

This study deals with the response of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheets. Test beams are subjected to static loading and repeated loading. Based on the static test results of the RC beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheets, repeated loading tests are performed. The variables of repeated loading test are composed of the number of carbon fiber sheets, the existence of U-shaped band at the end for anchoring, and loading rate of repeated loading, etc. Test results show the flexural behavior, the characteristics of strength, the characteristics of ductility, the change of flexural rigidity, and the amount of energy loss of RC beams under monotonic incremental loading and repeated loading. The failure strain of carbon fiber sheets is also estimated under repeated loading. From the experimental results, this work presents a basis of the data needed to analyze and design the static and dynamic flexural response of RC beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheets.
