This study proposed more reasonable prediction models on compressive strength and carbonation of concrete structure and developed a more effective tunnel safety diagnosis and maintenance method through field application of the proposed prediction models. For this study, the Seoul Metro's Line 1 through Line 4 were selected as target structures because they were built more than 30 years ago and have accumulated numerous diagnosis and maintenance data for about 15 years. As a result of the analysis of compressive strength and carbonation, we were able to draw prediction models with accuracy of more than 80% and confirmed the prediction model's reliability by comparing it with the existing models. We've also confirmed field suitability of the prediction models by applying field, the average error of an estimate on compressive strength and carbonation depth was about 20%, which showed an accuracy of more than 80%. We developed a more effective maintenance method using durability prediction Map before field inspection. With the durability prediction Map, diagnostic engineers and structure managers can easily detect the vulnerable points, which might have failed to reach the standard of designed strength or have a high probability of corrosion due to carbonation, therefore, it is expected to make it possible for them to diagnose and maintain tunnels more effectively and efficiently.

Cracks present in pressure vessels have been reported to be mostly semi-elliptic surface cracks. The fatigue crack growth rates(FCGR) of surface cracks in the pressure vessel materials, API5A-K55 and SPV 500, used in this study were showed to be different depending on the direction of propagation of the surface crack. An equation for the prediction of the shape change of the surface crack was obtained by combining the Paris' relations for each direction of surface crack extension and agreed well with the experimental data. And also FGGR in both materials were evaluated and prediction of the shape change of surface crack were made using averaged stress intensity factor.

In this study, novel approximate form of the square-root operator of three dimensional acoustic Parabolic Equation (3D PE) is proposed using a rational approximant for two variables. This form has two advantages in comparison with existing approximation studies of the square-root operator. One is the wide-angle capability. The proposed form has wider angle accuracy to the inclination angle of ${\pm}62^{\circ}$ from the range axis of 3D PE at the bearing angle of $45^{\circ}$, which is approximately three times the angle limit of the existing 3D PE algorithm. Another is that the denominator of our approximate form can be expressed into the product of one-dimensional operators for depth and cross-range. Such a splitting form is very preferable in the numerical analysis in that the 3D PE can be easily transformed into the tridiagonal matrix equation. To confirm the capability of the proposed approximate form, comparative study of other approximation methods is conducted based on the phase error analysis, and the proposed method shows best performance.

본 논문에서는, multiple-buffered crossbar 스위치를 이용한 다층 연결 망의 성능 분석 모형을 제안하고, 스위치에 장착된 buffer의 개수 증가에 따른 성능 향상 추이를 분석하였다. Buffered 스위치 기법은 다층 연결 망 (Multistage Interconnection Network, MIN)의 내부의 데이터 충돌 문제를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 제안된 성능 분석 모형은 먼저 네트웍 내부 임의 스위치 입력 단에 유입되는 데이터 패킷이 buffered 스위치 내부에서 전송되는 패턴을 확률적으로 분석하여 수립하였다. 분석 모형의 수학적 복잡도 절감을 위하여 확률식 유도 과정에 정상상태 확률 rosa(steady state probability)을 도입하였다. 제안한 모형은 스위치의 크기 및 스위치에 장착된 buffer의 수와 무관하게 확대 적용이 가능하다. 제안한 수학적 성능 분석 연구의 실효성 검증을 위하여 병행된 시뮬레이션 처리 결과는 상호 미세한 오차 범위 내에서 모형의 예측 데이터와 일치하는 결과를 보여 분석 모형의 타당성을 입증하였다. 2$\times$2 스위치로 구성된 8$\times$8 MIN을 대상으로 분석을 시행한 결과 스위치에 2~4개의 buffer를 장착했을 경우 unbuffer 스위치 경우와 비교하여 네트웍 정상상태 Throughout의 증가율이 높고 네트웍 Delay 또한 낮아져 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 2~2 crossbar 스위치로 구성된 MIN의 경우 스위치에 장착된 buffer의 개수가 네 개 정도일 경우가 가격 대 성능비 면에서 가장 유리한 것으로 연구되었다.

Due to the complex mechanism and various parameters that affect shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members, models on shear tend to be complex and difficult to utilize for design of structural members, and empirical relationships formulated with limited test data often work lot members having a specific range of influencing parameters on shear. As an alternative approach tot solving this problem, artificial neural networks have been suggested by some researchers. In this paper, artificial neural networks were used to predict shear strengths of RC beams without shear reinforcement. Especially, a large database that consists of shear test results of 398 RC members without shear reinforcement was used for artificial neural network analysis. Three well known approaches for shear strength of RC members, ACI 318-02 shear provision, Zsutiy's equation, and Okamura's relationship, are also evaluated with test results in the shear database and compared with neural network approach. While ACI 318-02 provided inaccurate predictions for RC members without shear reinforcement, the empirical equations by Zsutty and Okamura provided more improved prediction of Shear strength than ACI 318-02. The artificial neural networks, however provided the best prediction of shear strengths of RC beams without shear reinforcement that was closest to test results.

발파작업에서 발생하는 공해로 인한 재산상의 피해나 정신적인 피해를 최소화하기 위하여 대부분의 현장에서 제어발파를 시행하고 있다. 이완식 제어발파는 발파의 규모가 일반발파와 비교하여 작고, 대상 구조물이 근거리에 위치하므로 그 전달특성이 다를 수 있다. 근거리에서 계측된 발파진동의 특징은 고주파이고 진동의 지속시간이 짧다. 본 연구는 국내의 8개 지역에서 계측한 자료를 분석하여 이완식 제어발파의 진동전달 특성에 관하여 국내의 현장에서 시공 전에 진동을 추정할 수 있는 진동전파식을 제안하였다. 또한 제어발파시에 사용하는 폐타이어를 부착한 철재매트에 의한 폭풍압의 저감 효과와 전달특성을 분석하였다.

In this study, a new formula of settlement at the head of IGM was suggested and the applicability of suggested formula was verified with field test results. This suggested formula was the function of the settlement at the shaft head and the elastic compression of shaft. The applicability of suggested formula was verified with the result of in-situ load test. Also, the bearing capacity of drilled shaft with the IGM's theory was compared with those of classical theories. The results showed that classical method showed smaller values of bearing capacity than those of field load test data. The results of analysis also showed that the suggested formula and IGM's theory were applicable for the estimation of bearing capacity with the increase of shaft settlement. Especially, settlement correction factor($k_m$), which reflects ground condition and load transfer characteristics, increases as the applying load and shaft deformation increase. This suggested formula was applicable for medium density or higher density of soil condition and $k_m=1$ means yielding load for firm soil condition.

Based on the close investigation of Lade elasto -plastic model, this study proposes a new elasto -plastic constitutive model for foundation composed of granular soils. The new model contains 1st stress invariant in plastic potential function as well as yield function, which is different from Lade original model. Both these functions called a correction function include a correction term. To validate the new analytical model, it was compered with some previous models. Comparison between the test results and numerical results using Lade and new model was carried out concerning Sacramento River sand, U.S.A and Backma River sand. The conclusion was obtained that more refined model well be deft.eloped throughout this research.

This study investigates the axial behavior of CFRP strengthened circular CFT columns and proposes the design formula of CFRP strengthened circular CFT columns. 10 specimens were prepared and axial loading test were conducted to investigate the retrofitting effects of CFRP composites on CFT columns. The main parameters are the number of FRP sheets and D/t ratio. Test results showed that the CFRP retrofitting enhanced the load bearing capacity of the circular CFT columns. Finally, A ACI 440 code applied ultimate axial strength formula is proposed to predict the ultimate strength of CFRP strengthened circular CFT columns. The proposed formula are good agreement with the test results.
