In this study. the Modified Response Displacement Method(MRDM) for seismic design of underground box-type structures is proposed. Firstly, to investigate the applicability of the conventional RDM, various parametric studies are performed according to buried depth and soil conditions. Results from the conventional RDM are compared with those of time history analysis in terms of the maximum bending moment and relative displacement. The comparison shows that the velocity response spectrum and the determination method of foundation modulus which significantly influence the accuracy of RDM should be modified. Thus, the modified velocity response spectrum and the new determination method of foundation modulus are proposed under consideration of domestic conditions. In order to demonstrate the accuracy and validity of the proposed MRDM numerical analyses are performed according to different parameters such as depth of base rock, height and width of box, buried depth and soil condition. the comparison with the results of the time history analysis verifies the feasibility of the proposed MRDM for the seismic analysis.

Measured convergence data of a tunnel were investigated by means of statistical and regression analysis, where the rock mass were mainly composed of andesite and granite. The rock mass around tunnel were classified by RMR method into five different ratings, and then convergence data which belong to individual ratings were statistically processed to find out the appropriate regression equations. Exponential equations were better coincided with measured data than logarithmic equations. As the number of rock mass rating was increased, the magnitude and standard deviation of convergence were increased. Final convergence data were also investigated to study the relevance with both maximum displacement rate and early measured convergence. Some brief results of their relevance are presented. For instance, the regression coefficient between final convergence and maximum displacement rate was turned out to be 0.87 for this studied tunnel.

응답변위법에서 이용되는 동지반강성계수의 적절한 평가법에 대한 제안을 하였다. 현재까지의 지진피해조사 및 장기간의 지진관측사례는 지반이 공진할 때의 변형모드가 지중구조물의 피해에 가장 직접적으로 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 지중구조물의 축방향의 지반의 변형모드와 그 타월 진동수를 특정하여 동지반강성계수를 평가했다. 동지반강성계수는 지반의 공진상태를 상정하고 있기 때문에 결과로써 지진파의 축방행 파장의 영향을 받지 않고, 관상구주물의 반경과 표층두께의 비, 표층두께에 대한 구조물의 매설위치, 표층지반과 기반의 임피단스비 라고 하는 3개의 무차원 변수에 의해 표현된다.

For preliminary structural analysis of superstructures on very large floating structures(VLFS), superstructures are analyzed considering elastic deformations of barge type lower-structures subjected to wave loads. In this case, to consider the effect of wave loads on the superstructure, initial displacements at the support points of superstructures are evaluated as input data for the analysis. However, the evaluation and application of displacement loads are tedious and very time-consuming processes. Therefore, this paper proposes a simplified static analysis method to analyze the structural behaviors of superstructures on very large floating structures subjected to wave loads. In this study, the member forces due to the variation of beam span and the amplitude and period of wave load are analyzed by using an example 4 span -3 story structure and the amplification factors for beam moments are represented by the specific regression equation.

In fracture mechanics, the weight function can be used for calculating stress intensity factors. In this paper, a two-dimensional electroelastic analysis is performed on a transversely isotropic piezoelectric material with an open crack. A plane strain formulation of the piezoelectric problem is solved within the Leknitskii formalism. Weight function theory is extended to piezoelectric materials. The stress intensity factors and electric displacement intensity factor are calculated by the weight function theory.

고체재료의 열확산계수나 열전도계수와 같은 열물성을 비접촉식 방법으로 측정하기 위하여 광열변위법에 대한 이론적인 해석을 수행하였다. 가열빔의 파형을 코사인파, 삼각파 그리고 사각파로 가정하여 2차원 열전도 방정식과 열탄성 방정식의 엄밀해를 구하였고, 이를 가열빔으로부터 직접 구한 실제파의 결과와 비교하였다. 코사인파의 결과가 다른 파형에 비하여 실제파와 가장 유사한 것으로 보아 비교적 해석이 복잡한 실제파를 코사인파로 가정하여도 무방하다.

특이 가중함수로 표현된 shepard interpolant와 일관조건을 사용하여 무요소법 형성함수를 도출하였다. 따라서 통상의 EFGM(Element Free Galerkin Method)과는 달리 변위로 주어지는 경계조건을 자연스럽게 부과할 수 있다. 수치계산 예로서 외팔보 문제를 다루었는데 보이론과 비교하여 매우 잘 맞는 결과를 보여주고, 유한요소법과의 결합도 자연스럽게 이루어짐을 보인다. 또 penny-shaped 균열을 다루는데, 응력확대계수는 균열 표면의 변위로부처 직접 계산하여 해석해와 비교한다.

Evaluating nonlinear response of a MDOF system under dynamic stochastic loads such as seismic excitation usually requires excessive computational efforts. To alleviate this computational difficulty, an approximation is developed in which the MDOF inelastic system is replaced by a simple nonlinear equivalent system(ENS).Me ENS retains the most important properties of the original system such as dynamic characteristics of the first two modes and the global yielding behavior of the MDOF system. The system response is described by the maximum global(building) and local(interstory) drifts. The equivalency is achieved by two response scaling factors, a global response scaling factor R/sub G/, and a local response scaling factor R/sub L/, applied to the responses of the ENS to match those of the original MDOF system. These response scaling factors are obtained as functions of ductility and mass participation factors of the first two modes of structures by extensive regression analyses based on results of responses of the MDOF system and the ENS to actual ground accelerations recorded in past earthquakes. To develop the ENS with two response scaling factors, Special Moment Resisting Steel Frames are considered. Then, these response scaling factors are applied to the response of ENS to obtain the nonlinear response of MDOF system.

Generally it is likely that rock mass properties are expressed not by a mean value but by values with variation due to its characteristic uncertainty. This characteristic is one of the most important parts for the design of undergound structures, but yet to be fully examined. Stochastic finite element method (SFEM) is contrary to deterministic finite element method in its concept as the former has been developed in order to take the randomness of structural systems into account. Using SFEM, the response variability of structural system can be obtained and it leads probabilistic stability of structure to be analyzed. In this study, displacement response variability of circular opening with hydrostatic stress field are analyzed in terms of rock mass properties having a certain mean and a standard deviation using the SFEM. The analyzed response variability shows that the necessity of probabilistic stability analysis of underground structures using reliable mean value and standard deviation of deformation modulus.

A complete theoretical treatment of the photothermal displacement technique has been performed for thermal diffusivity measurement in semi-infinite solid materials. The influence of the parameters, such as radius and modulation frequency of the heating beam and the thermal diffusivity, was studied. Usually, thermal diffusivity was determined by the deformation angle and phase angle as the relative position between the heating and probe beams. In this study, we proposed the simple analysis method based on the real part of deformation gradient as the relative position between two beams. It is independent in the parameters such as power of heating beam, absorption coefficient, reflectivity, Poisson's ratio, and thermal expansion coefficient.
