In recent years, the structural shock response to UNDEX (UNDerwater EXplosion) has been studied as much, or more, through numerical simulations than through testing for several reasons. Very high costs and sensitive environmental concerns have kept destructive underwater explosion testing to a minimum. Increase of simulation capabilities and sophisticated simulation tools has made numerical simulations more efficient analysis methods as well as more reliable testing aids. In this study, the main issue is the fluid-structure interaction. Here, appropriate relations between the acoustic pressure on the fluid surface and displacements on the structure surface are formed internally. The analysis was carried out using ABAQUS/Explicit and the results have been visualized in ABAQUS CAE. The shock loading history, acoustic pressure, stress of stand-off point, the velocity and strain energy time histories were presented.

측면웨어(side weir)는 본류의 수위가 한계수위 이상으로 상승할 경우 본류로부터 저류지나 분수로(distributary channel)로 흐름을 전환하기 위하여 사용하는 수공구조물이다. 최근 들어 치수와 관련된 계획에서 본류의 홍수량 중 일부를 저류지나 홍수 우회수로로 전환시키는 시설에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 측면웨어가 하천에 설치되는 경우, 측면웨어 부근 표층부의 흐름은 측면웨어의 영향을 크게 받으며, 수의바닥이나 측면웨어에서 떨어진 지점의 흐름은 측면웨어의 영향을 작게 받는 등 측면웨어 주변부는 3차원적인 흐름특성을 보인다. 또한 측면웨어를 월류하는 흐름이 일반 웨어와 같이 웨어 마루부에 대하여 직각방향으로 흐르지 않고 본류의 유속에 따라 비스듬하게 흐르게 된다. 이러한 흐름특성으로 인해 측면웨어를 통과하는 유량은 본류의 하폭, 본류의 흐름특성, 측면웨어의 길이 및 설치위치 등에 따라 각기 다르게 산정되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 측면웨에에 관한 연구를 정리하고 상용 프로그램인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 측면웨어가 설치된 경우의 흐름을 해석하였다. 해석결과는 기존 실험연구에 바탕을 둔 이론식과 비교하였다. 계산격자는 구조물 부근의 흐름이 급변하는 곳은 격자크기를 작게, 흐름의 변화가 완만한 곳은 격자크기를 크게 하였다. 경계조건으로 상류는 유량, 하류는 수위경계를 입력하였다. 본 수치모의결과와 이론식을 이용하여 산정한 월류량을 비교한 결과 약 $10-30\% 내외의 오차가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 본류의 흐름은 웨어의 길이가 짧을수록 상$\cdot$하류단의 수위차가 작아지며 유속의 경우 웨어길이가 길고, 높이가 낮을수록 빨라진다. 측면웨어 주변부 흐름의 경우, 웨어의 길이가 짧을수록 방류강도가 강하고 횡방향의 수면변위가 급하게 형성되고 있음을 알 수 있다 또한, 웨어의 길이가 상대적으로 길어질 경우에는 3차원적 흐름특성에 의하여 유속의 분포가 다양하여 이론식과 결과의 오차가 점점 더 커짐을 알 수 있다. 본 연구는 사각형수로에 측면웨어가 설치된 경우, 월류량과 수리학적 거동을 해석할 때 수치모형실험이 수리모형실험과 더불어 유용한 해석도구로 이용될 수 있음을 보인 깃으로 이후 관련 구조물의 설계와 해석 시 참고자료로 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper the progressive collapse resisting capacity of steel moment frames with viscous dampers was evaluated by nonlinear dynamic analysis. The effects of dampers installed in steel beam-column sub-assemblages with varying natural period and yield strength were evaluated after sudden removal of a column. According to the parametric study the vertical displacement general decreased as the damping ratio of the system increased, and the dampers were effective both in elastic and elasto-plastic systems. The nonlinear dynamic analysis results of the 15-story analysis models showed that the decrease in vertical deflection of the structure with 9m span length, which showed larger deflection, was more predominant than that of the structure with 6m span length.

Acoustic emission (AE) and Microseimsic (MS) activities are law-energy seismic events associated with a sudden inelastic deformation such as the sudden movement of existing fractures, the generation of new fractures or the propagation of fractures. These events rapidly increase before major failure and happen within a given rock volume and radiate detectable seismic waves. The main difference between AE and MS signals is that the seismic motion frequencies of AE signals are higher than those of MS signals. As the failure of geotechnical structures usually happens as a high velocity and small displacement, it is nat easy ta determine the precursor and initiation stress level of failure in displacement detection method. To overcame this problem, AE/MS techniques far detection of structure failure and damage have recently adapt in civil engineering. This study deal with the basic theory of AE/MS and state of arts in monitoring technique using AE/MS.

A hybrid precast concrete beam system with a simple rigid connection was proposed to compensate the limitations and shortcomings of the conventional bolt connection associated with the H-beams embedded into concrete beams. Three beam specimens with fixed both ends were tested under one-point top cyclic loading to explore the effectiveness of the developed hybrid beam system in transferring externally applied flexure to a column. The main parameter considered was the length ($L_s$) of H-beam, which was selected to be $0.25L_I$, $0.5L_I$, and $1.0L_I$, where $L_I$ is the distance from the support to the point of inflection. All beam specimens showed a better displacement ductility ratio than the reinforced concrete beams with the same longitudinal reinforcement index, indicating that the cyclic load-deflection curve and ductility were insignificantly affected by $L_s$. The continuous strain distribution along the beam length and the prediction of the ultimate load based on the collapse mechanism ascertained the structural adequacy of the developed rigid connection.

The influence of anchor slope on behavior of sheet pile is analysed by results of model test. It can be seen that the larger inclination of anchor causes more causes more increases of the horizontal and vertical deflection of wall, but the bending moment is less influenced by the inclination of anchor. The negative friction against vertical settlement of wall has the yielding point at the excavation level of 0.71-0.80 H. The redistribution of earth pressure on the sheet pile with dredging must be considered by soil-arching. The zero pressure point from the toe of wall is 20% higher than that of the Free Earth Support Method. It is also observed that the angle of failure planes to major principal plane is larger than the angle of $45^{\circ}+{\phi}/2$.

Seismic response of single degree of freedom system supported by shallow foundation was analyzed by using nonlinear explicit finite difference element code. Numerical analysis results were verified with dynamic centrifuge test results of the same soil profile and structural dimensions with the numerical analysis model at a centrifugal acceleration of 20 g. Differences between the analysis and the test results induced by the boundary conditions of control points can be reduced by adding additional local damping to the natural born cyclic hysteretic damping of the soil strata. The analysis results show good agreement with the test results in terms of both time histories and response spectra. Thus, it can be concluded that the nonlinear explicit finite difference element code will be a useful technique for estimating seismic residual displacement, earthpressure etc. which are difficult to measure during laboratory tests and real earthquake.

This paper, as a study for the serviceability design of railway bridges with concrete track, presents the effects of design parameters of tracks and bridges on the forces acting on the rail supports of the track. To calculate the forces acting on the track, an unequal spacing discrete supported model with different spacing of rail supports was induced. Design parameters are the rail support spacing of expansion joints above abutments or piers of bridges, the distance from the support of a girder to the last rail support on the end of the girder, and the number of additional rail supports. The causes of the displacement of track are axial force, unit vertical displacement, and unit rotation. From the analysis, the maximum compressive force and the maximum uplifting force acting on the rail supports were determined and the effects of the rail support spacing on the forces acting on the track were presented.

Artificial neural networks are efficient computing techniques that are widely used to solve complex problems in many fields. In this study, in order to predict tunnel-induced ground movements, Tunnel Behavior Prediction System (TBPS) was developed by using these artificial neural networks model, based on a Held instrumentation database (i.e. crown settlement, convergence, axial force of rock bolt, compressive and shear stress of shotcrete, stress of concrete lining etc.) obtained from 193 location data of 31 different tunnel sites where works are completed. The study and test of the network were performed by Back Propagation Algorithm which is known as a systematic technique for studying the multi-layer artificial neural network. The tunnel behaviors predicted by TBPS were compared with monitored data in the tunnel sites and numerical analysis results. This study showed that the values obtained from TBPS were within allowable limits. It is concluded that this system can effectively estimate the tunnel ground movements and can also be used f3r tunneling feasibility study, and basic and detailed design and construction of tunnel.

The objective of this study is ensuring safety of cabin when the blade impacts into a obstacle by verifying safety of the rotor mast and the transmission using impact loads calculated from the simulation. The rotor mast shall not fail and the transmission shall not be displaced into occupiable space when the main rotor composite blade impact into a 8 inch rigid cylinder in diameter on the outer 10% of the blade at operational rotor speed. To calculate the reaction loads at the spherical bearing and lead-lag damper, blade impact analysis was performed with FE model consist of composite blade, tree(or rigid cylinder) using elastic-plastic with damage material and several contact surfaces which were created to describe a progress of actual failure. Also, the reaction loads were investigated in change of blade rotation speed and pitch angle.
