We investigate the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the response of LNG storage tanks to vertical seismic excitation depending on the type of foundation. An LNG storage tank with a diameter of 71 m on a clay layer with a thickness of 30 m upon bedrock, was selected as an example. The nonlinear behavior of the soil was considered in an equivalent linear method. Four types of foundation were considered, including shallow, piled raft, and pile foundations (surface and floating types). In addition, the effect of soil compaction within the group pile on the seismic response of the tank was investigated. KIESSI-3D, an analysis package in the frequency domain, was used to study the SSI and the stress in the outer tank was calculated. Based on an analysis of the numerical results, we arrived at three main conclusions: (1) for a shallow foundation, the vertical stress in the outer tank is less than the fixed base response due to the SSI effect; (2) for foundations supported by piles, the vertical stress can be greater than the fixed base stress due to the increase in the vertical impedance due to the piles and the decrease in radiation damping; and (3) soil compaction had a miniscule impact on the seismic response of the outer tank.

Experimental studies for the laminated elastomeric bearing and the lead-rubber bearing, those are often used to improve the seismic capacity of the structures recently, are conducted to evaluate the seismic capacity of the bearings. The shear stiffness of the bearings decreases as the shear strain amplitude or the constant axial load level increases, but not sensitive to the strain rates effect. Bearings are strong for the axial compression but weak for the axial tension.

기존 투명방음판용 알루미늄 프레임의 구조적 단점을 보완할 수 있는 강재-FRP(Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 합성단면 구조재를 개발하였으며, 아울러 조립이 간편하고 외부 충격에 의해 쉽게 분리가 되지 않는 삽입형 수평재-수직재 코너연결부 상세를 개발하였다. 개발된 강재-FRP 합성단면 구조재와 코너연결재를 결합하여 프레임을 형성하고 그 사이에 투명패널을 삽입함으로써 길이 4m, 높이 1m 투명방음판 시작품을 완성하였으며, 이렇게 완성된 투명방음판 시작품을 대상으로 KS 4770-1 구조성능 평가시험을 수행하였다. 한국도로공사 교량부 시험하중에 대해 설계된 강재-FRP 합성단면 프레임 투명방음판의 구조성능 평가결과, FRP 의 추가적인 구조강성 증가 효과로 인해 한국도로공사 교량부 시험하중을 약간 상회하는 KS 2 호 등급시험하중까지도 만족시키고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the shaft resistance of drilled shafts socketed into weathered-and soft-rocks was examined by the constant normal stiffness(CNS) test. Large scale model tests were performed for different unconfined compressive strength, socket roughness, initial normal stress, and normal stiffness for identifying shear load transfer characteristics. Through comparisons with previous studies, it is found that the results by the present approach is good agreement with the general trend observed by existing empirical and analytical results.

The impingement of a weak shock wane discharged from the open end of a shock tube upon a flat plate was investigated using shock tube experiments and numerical simulations. Harten-Yee Total Variation Diminishing method was used to solve axisymmetric, unsteady, compressible flow governing equations. Experiments were carried out to validate the present computations. The effects of the flat plate and baffle plate sizes on the impinging flow field over the flat plate were investigated. Shock Mach number was varied in the range from 1.05 to 1.20. The distance between the plate and shock tube was changed to investigate the effect on the peak pressure. From both the results of experiments and computations we obtained a good empirical equation to predict the peak pressure on the flat plate.

The stress intensity factor has been calculated for the cracked plate subjected to remote normal stress and reinforced with a plate by symmetric spot welding. The solution was based on displacement compatibility condition between the cracked sheet and the reinforcement plate. It is shown that the results from the derived equation for stress intensity factor were agreed with previous solutions. The reinforcement effect gets better as a joining spot is closer to the crack tip and the other joining spots become nearer to the crack surface.

Linear hydrostatic bearings have high stiffness, high damping and excellent guided motion straightness, and thus they are suitable for high precision machine tools. This paper describes the procedure for design and test of a high precision stamping press with vertical hydrostatic bearings. For a hydrostatic bearing set designed and manufactured, measurements were made for the straightness, repeatability and stiffness. They are found to be 1.36$\mu\textrm{m}$/100mm, 0.19$\mu\textrm{m}$/100mm and 1, 261N/$\mu\textrm{m}$ respectively. Based upon the experiences with the hydrostatic bearing, an improved design of the precision press is proposed.

자동차는 주행시에 노면가진으로 인하여 진동을 받게 되는 데 이러한 진동 은 운전자의 승차감을 저하시킬 뿐만 아니라 화물과 차량 부품을 파손시키 는 원인이 되기도 한다. 노면가진력은 주로 현가장치를 통하여 차량에 전달 되어 차량의 진동을 유발하게 되므로 승차감을 향상시키려면 노면가진을 효 과적으로 차단할 수 있도록 현가장치를 설계하여야 한다. 이를 위하여 본 논 문에서는 차량을 현가장치의 형식에 따라 3가지 종류로 구분한 다음 각각을 12자유도로 모델링하여 노면이 불규칙(random)한 도로를 주행할 때의 승용 차의 진동을 해석하고, 현가스프링의 강성과 쇼크 압소바의 감쇠 값이 자체 수직 가속도 유효치(rms value)와 현가장치 유효행정(rms stroke length)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 차량의 운동방정식은 현가장치의 비선형 특성을 고려하였기 때문에 미소 각 운동의 가정에도 불구하고 비선형 방정식이 된 다. 운동 방정식의 해는 4차 Runge-Kutta 적분법을 사용하여 수치해석으로 구하였다.

Precast concrete (P.C.) large panel structures have usually weaker stiffness at joints than that of monolithic in-situ reinforced concrete structures. But structural designers do not in general take into account this characteristics of P. C. large panel structures and use the same analytical models as for the monolithic structure. Therefore, the results of analysis obtained by using these models may be quite different from those actually occuring in real P.C. structure. In this study, the change in force and stress distribution and deflections of structure caused by applying lower shear stiffness at vertical joints are investigated through trying several finite element modeling schemes specific for P.C. structures. Finally, for engineers in practice. a simplified model, which takes account of the effect of lower shear stiffness at vertical joints, is proposed with the understanding on possible amount of errors.

Frictional characteristics with the change of loading method and normal stiffness at dry sliding surfaces were experimentally and theoretically evaluated in this study. For the study, a ball-on-disk typed test rig was built and implemented, which allowed a proper selection of loading mechanism and normal stiffness of the test rig. Loading method were varied from dead weight to pneumatic cylinder and spring loading, and the normal stiffness was varied by a spring of different stiffness. Test results showed that frictional characteristics at various loading methods were different even though the operating variables were the same. Discrepancy in the frictional characteristics, such as coefficient of friction and fluctuation in the normal load, were explained by the change in dynamic parameters of the test rigs. Results also showed that coefficient of friction, which defines as a ratio of frictional force divided a normal load, could be differently evaluated in the calculation when fluctuation in the normal load was significant.
