In this study, the prototype structure of seismically designed steel moment frame was analyzed statically and dynamically in order to demonstrate the applicability of energy-based approximate analysis with the dynamic effect of sudden column loss in the evaluation of the collapse resistance and a method for assessing the sensitivity to progressive collapse was proposed. For the purpose of comparing the structural behavior of buildings with different structural systems, the sensitivity of the structure to the sudden removal of vertical members can be used as a significant measure. The energy-based approximate analysis prediction for the prototype structure considered in the study showed good agreement with the dynamic analysis result. In the sensitivity evaluation, the structural robustness index that indicates the ability of a structure to resist collapse induced by abnormal loads was used. It was confirmed that the proposed methods can be used conveniently and rationally in progressive collapse analysis and design.

In seismic response analysis of building structures, the input ground accelerations have considerable effect on the nonlinear response characteristics of structures. The characteristics of soil and the locality of the site where those ground motions were recorded affect on the contents of earthquake waves. Therefore, it is difficult to select appropriate input ground motions for seismic response analysis. This study describes a generation of artificial earthquake wave compatible with seismic design spectrum, and also evaluates the seismic response values of multistory reinforced concrete structures by the simulated earthquake motions. The artificial earthquake wave are generated according to the previously recorded earthquake waves in past major earthquake events. The artificial wave have identical phase angles to the recorded earthquake wave, and their overall response spectra are compatible with seismic design spectrum with 5% critical viscous damping. The input ground motions applied to this study have identical elastic acceleration response spectra, but have different phase angles. The purpose of this study is to investigate their validity as input ground motion for nonlinear seismic response analysis. As expected, the response quantifies by simulated earthquake waves present better stable than those by real recording of ground motion. It was concluded that the artificial earthquake waves generated in this paper are applicable as input ground motions for a seismic response analysis of building structures. It was also found that strength of input ground motions for seismic analysis are suitable to be normalize as elastic acceleration spectra.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of shallow arches resting on elastic foundations. Foundations we assumed to follow the hypothesis proposed by Pasternak. The governing differential equation is derived for the in-plane free vibration of linearly elastic arches of uniform stiffness and constant mass per unit length. Two arch shapes with hinged-hinged and clamped-clamped end constraints we considered in analysis. The frequency equations (lowest symmetrical and antisymmetrical frequency equations) we obtained by Galerkin's method. The effects of arch rise, Winkler foundation parameter and shear foundation parameter on the lowest two natural frequencies are investigated. The effect of initial arch shapes on frequencies is also studied.

In longitudinal data analysis, the serial correlation of repeated outcomes must be taken into account using covariance matrix. Modeling of the covariance matrix is important to estimate the effect of covariates properly. However, It is challenging because there are many parameters in the matrix and the estimated covariance matrix should be positive definite. To overcome the restrictions, several Cholesky decomposition approaches for the covariance matrix were proposed: modified autoregressive (AR), moving average (MA), ARMA Cholesky decompositions. In this paper we review them and compare the performance of the approaches using simulation studies.

In this study, the explicit numerical algorithm was proposed to simulate the stress erection process and ultimate-load analysis of the strarch (stressed arch) system. The strarch system is a unique and innovative structural system and member prestress comprising prefabricated plane truss frames erected through a post-tensioning stress erection procedure. The flexible bottom chord, which has sleeve and gap details, is closed by the reaction force of the prestressing tendon. The prestress imposed on the tendon will enable the strarch system to be erected. This post-tensioning process is called "stress erection process." During this process, plastic rigid-body rotation occurs to the flexible top chord due to the excessive amount of plastic strain, and the structural characteristic is unstable. In this study, the dynamic relaxation method (DRM) was adopted to calculate the nonlinear equilibrium equation of the system, and a displacement-based finite-element-formulated filament beam element was used to simulate the nonlinear behavior of the top chord sections of the strarch system. The section of the filament beam element was composed by the amount of filaments, which can be modeled by various material models. The Ramberg-Osgood and bilinear kinematic elastic plastic material models were formulated for the nonlinear material behaviors of the filaments. The numerical results that were obtained in the present study were compared with the experiment results of the stress erection and with the results of the ultimate-load analysis of the strarch unit frame. The results of the present studies are in good agreement with the previous experiment results, and the explicit DRM enabled the analysis of the post-buckling behaviors of the strarch unit frame.

In this study, a nonlinear dynamic analysis of a frame and single member, which reflect the characteristics of a plant facility, is performed using the commercial MIDAS GEN program and the results are analyzed. The general structural members and material properties of the plant are considered. The Newmark average-acceleration numerical-analysis method is applied to a plastic hinge to study material nonlinearity. The blast load of a vapor-cloud explosion, a representative plant explosion, is calculated, and nonlinear dynamic analysis is conducted on a frame and single member. The observed dynamic behavior is organized according to the ratio of natural period to load duration, maximum displacement, ductility, and rotation angle. The conditions and range under which the frame functions as a single member are analyzed and derived. NSFF with a beam-column stiffness ratio of 0.5 and ductility of 2.0 or more can be simplified and analyzed as FFC, whereas NSPF with a beam-column stiffness ratio of 0.5 and ductility of 1.5 or more can be simplified and analyzed as FPC. The results of this study can serve as guidelines for the blast-resistant design of plant facilities.

The present work measured and analyzed changes in the acoustics of a sound field which has a retractable ceiling. An 1/20 scale model of an openable space was built and measurement was carried out by varying the opened area of a ceiling. The most widely used room acoustic and design parameters, RT, EDT, and D50 were investigated. The results suggest that the use of RT as an acoustic design parameter may not be proper in an openable space and further it is likely to mislead the initial acoustic design of such spaces. It is mainly due to the characteristics of RT in which non-exponential decay processes are linearly fitted. Early decay times were found to be decreased in proportion to increaing the ratio of opened area. D50, an index of speech intelligibility, was effectively shows the influence of openings on the acoustics. It is also found that EDT and D50 at the seats, not directly exposed to the opened part of a ceiling, were almost linearly decreased in proportion to the ratio of opened area, while little influence was found for the opening ratio larger than 40% at the directly exposed seats to the opened part of a ceiling.

신호 대 잡음비가 매우 낮은 수중 음원을 탐지하기 위해서는 많은 센서를 갖는 견인 배열 시스템을 운용하여야 한다. 그러나 이러한 경우 수백 미터에 이르는 배열을 견인함이 끌고 다닐 때 파도와 같은 해수면의 움직임과 견인선의 기동 형태에 따라 원하는 배열 형태를 항상 유지할 수 없다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 실제 수 중 환경에서 견인되는 배열의 왜곡된 형태를 시간적으로 뿐만 아니라 공간적으로 통합된 센서의 움직임 근거로 한 상관 형태를 잘 표현한 ""Paidoussis"" 방정식을적용하여 이 방정식의 간단화된 형태인 수차 모형(Water pulley)배열을 협대역 목표물 탐지에 이용하였다. [1][2][8] 수차 모형 구조의 배열을 이용하여 사상 기법을 적용하면 수차 모형의 왜곡 특성으로 인해 센서간 간격이 비균일성을 가지는 가상의 선형 배열이 형성되어 진다. 본 논문에서는 사상 기법에 의해 생성된 가상의 선형 배열을 토대로 합성 어패처 방식의 일종인 FFTSA(Fast Fourier Transform Synthetic Aperture) 기법을 이용하여 센서 배열의 입사각 추정 성능에 중대한 영향을 부여하는 코히어런스 주기에 따른 추정 성능의 변화 및 견인함의 이동 경로 변화에 따른 변동 경로 주기에 따른 성능 변화를 분석하였다.
