Load tests for fourteen small-scale foundation models combined with geotextile, sand mat and rigid mat were conducted to study the effect of geotextile(G/T), sand mat(S/M), and foundation types on deformation of foundation soils. In addition, the experimental results were compared with those obtained from numerical analysis using a software program. The main conclusions were summarized as follows: 1. The restraint effect on G/T is more outstanding on the lateral displacement than on the vertical one. 2. The single use of S/M has better effect on the restraint of vertical displacement than lateral one. 3. The use of both S/M and G/T is required for the restraint of lateral and vertical displacement. 4. Multi-layered foundation with large rigidity shows similar tendency to that of foundation reinforced with S/M and G/T.

We analyzed the Coulomb stress transfer near a small-scale reverse fault. For the modeling we used the geometry of a Quaternary fault in Gyeongju area, Eupcheon fault. For an assumed reverse faulting slip of 10cm, the resulting values of the Coulomb stress change are relatively higher (>2 bar) near the edges (both downward and lateral) of the fault, and diminish slightly upward and downward. The equivalents are negative in the zone immediately below and above the fault, exhibiting a "T" shape of low stress zone in the vertical profile of the fault. This study demonstrates the possible ranges and directions the aftershock energy would propagates after a reverse faulting.

Deformations of the dam have been monitored by control points buried in the upper and lower dam of Samrangjin pumped storage power plant. The horizontal and vertical deformation observations performed in 1997, 2002, 2007 are to identity movements of the dam body by comparing and analyzing control points. For that reason, it was difficult to analyze movements of the dam in detail. Therefore, this research has observed surface of the dam using terrestrial laser scanner and estimate movements of the dam by comparing and analyzing scanned and designed surfaces of the dam since building completion. Vertical deformation of upper dam took place in the middle of ridge of dam, maximum cross section, up to 1.5m. In the middle and middle bottom of the downstream slope, vertical deformation was produced 0.75m around SP4-2 point and 0.5m around SP4-4 point. The maximum subsidence of vertical deformation in the lower dam took place in the middle of ridge of dam and upper part of upstream slope and subsidence was analyzed from -0.4 to -1.0m respectively. The result of this research can be used as initial observation to analyze whole movement of the dam in the future.

A rational method for determination of initial cable forces in cable-stayed bridges without complicated nonlinear analysis is presented. Initial shape analysis for cable-stayed bridges should be able to find optimizated initial cable forces and unstrained length that minimize deflection and vending moments of the deck and pylon. A presented method utilizing the idea of force equilibrium organizes initial shape analysis for each types of cable-stayed bridges. The results of that analysis were compared to several existing methods for 2D numerical examples. And for 3D actual bridges, the improved TCUD method was performed to demonstrate the accuracy of this study.

인간동력 항공기 TORUK MAKTO I에 대하여 양력선이론 및 XFOIL을 사용하여 도출한 공력계수 및 미계수 값과 CATIA를 사용한 관성모멘트 추정 값을 사용하여 지면효과 및 주익과 무게중심 사이의 수직거리 변화가 인간동력 항공기의 세로 정안정성에 미치는 영향과 수평미익(스테빌레이터) 변위각제어에 따른 세로 동안정성 해석 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 지면효과가 정적여유에 미치는 영향은 미미했다. 공력중심과 무게중심 사이의 수직거리가 세로 정안정성에 미치는 영향은 매우 컸으며, 수직거리 증가는 세로 정안정성을 증가시켰다. 수평미익 변위각 제어에 따른 세로 동안정성 해석 결과 장주기 진동특성과 감쇄특성이 매우 나쁜 것으로 나타났다. 향후 항공기의 동특성을 고려한 세로 동안정성 해석 및 측풍에 의한 가로 및 방향 안정성 해석연구를 수행할 예정이다.

In order to intuitively grasp the earth pressure direction acting on the structure and displacement state, displacement data in the horizontal and vertical directions were processed using the sigmoid function. A displacement coordinate system was set up for each axis. The system can intuitively check the current displacement and assess the management stage of each point. A displacement path can be compiled from continuously recorded points, allowing trends in the displacement's history and stress direction to be known. Analysis of data measured for excavated ground, found that displacement occurred in the direction of destressing at all points, and that the points' management state steady. Similar behavior trends were found among measurement points with high spatial correlation, whereas differing behavior trends occurred among measurement points with low spatial correlation. If the correlation analysis of the precursor and behavior area is performed using the continuously distributed surface settlement data and displacement coordinate system, it will be possible to predict the failure time and area.

In this paper, an efficient yet accurate method for the thermal stress analysis using a first order shear deformation theory(FSDT) is presented. The main objective herein is to systematically modify transverse shear strain energy through the mixed variational theorem(MVT). In the mixed formulation, independent transverse shear stresses are taken from the efficient higher-order zigzag plate theory, and the in-plane displacements are assumed to be those of the FSDT. Moreover, a smooth parabolic distribution through the thickness is assumed in the transverse normal displacement field in order to consider a transverse normal deformation. The resulting strain energy expression is referred to as an enhanced first order shear deformation theory, which is obtained via the mixed variational theorem with transverse normal deformation effect(EFSDTM_TN). The EFSDTM_TN has the same computational advantage as the FSDT_TN(FSDT with transverse normal deformation effect) does, which allows us to improve the through-the-thickness distributions of displacements and stresses via the recovery procedure. The thermal stresses obtained by the present theory are compared with those of the FSDT_TN and three-dimensional elasticity.

The influence of the plastic flow rules on the elasto-plastic behaviour of a discrete joint element was investigated by performing the numerical direct shear tests under both constant normal displacement and normal displacement conditions. The finite interface elements obeying Plesha’s joint constitutive law was used to allow the relative motion of the rock blocks on the joint surface. Realistic results were obtained in the tests adopting the non-associated flow rule, while the associated flow rule overestimated the joint dilation. To overcome the computational drawbacks coming from the non-symmetric element stiffness matrix in the conventional non-associated plasticity, the symmetric formulation of the tangential stiffness matrix for a non-associated joint element was proposed. The symmetric elasto-plastic matrix it derived by assuming an imaginary equivalent joint with associated flow rule which shows the same plastic response as that of original Joint with non-associated flow rule. The validity of the formulation was confirmed through the numerical direct shear tests under constant normal stress condition.

The GPS ability for detecting the deformation is experimently tested by analyzing how precisely GPS can detect the true movement value of the GPS test bed with three axis. As the result, we found that GPS can detect the deformation with the precision of 2 mm in horizontal componts and 8 mm in vertical component for the short baseline of 16 km. The applicable possibilities of GPS for measuring the structure deformation are discussed on the base of this result.

In this study, it is intended to measure the displacement of a bridge for the safety examination using Digital Close Range Photogrammetry(DCRP). The digital images which were obtained by a digital camera and a CCD camera in load cases was analyzed. In the same condition, the displacements were obtained respectively from sensor, precision level, and film-based images for comparison. As a result, it could be confirmed that the application of DCRP to the safety examination and the movement measurement of the bridge is possible.
