Direct back analysis software is coded based on Simplex method using FLAC as a subroutine. For the verification of the software, 12 different cases are assumed combining various displacements in different measuring locations around a tunnel. The number of displacements for cases varies from 3 to 240. It is verified that the exact elasticity and the primary stress state of rock around a tunnel could be found through iterative calculation regardless of the locations and number of displacements and initial values needed for the direct back analysis.

A back analysis algorithm was developed to determine the major parameters for tunnel design; the elastic modulus(E) and the ratio of horizontal to vertical stress(K). The algorithm is based on direct search method and was coded by FISH language of FLAC, a commercial finite difference program. Developed code was applied on some models to verify the validity and estimate the efficiency of the algorithm. Verification by theoretical solutions and published results of Gens' research, was successful.

Hanger cable tension is a major response that can determine the integrity and safety of suspension bridges. In general, the vibration method is used to estimate hanger cable tension on operational suspension bridges. It measures natural frequencies from hanger cables and indirectly estimates tension using the geometry conditions of the hanger cables. This study estimated the hanger cable tension of the Palyeong Bridge using a vision-based system. The vision-based system used digital camcorders and tripods considering the convenience and economic efficiency of measurement. Measuring the natural frequencies for high-order modes required for the vibration method is difficult because the hanger cable response measured using the vision-based system is displacement-based. Therefore, this study proposed a back analysis technique for estimating tension using the natural frequencies of low-order modes. Optimization for the back analysis technique was performed by defining the difference between the natural frequencies of hanger cables measured in the field and those calculated using finite element analysis as the objective function. The direct search method that does not require the partial derivatives of the objective function was applied as the optimization method. The reliability and accuracy of the back analysis technique were verified by comparing the tension calculated using the method with that estimated using the vibration method. Tension was accurately estimated using the natural frequencies of low-order modes by applying the back analysis technique.

A core procedure of the direct search method used in this study is optimizing a difference between objective function and real displacement and correcting unknown variables. Because the research procedure comes from back-analyzing of the unknown variable of each layer, back-analyzing results need an additional optimization to minimize interferential effects of unknown variables. Therefore, the direct search method Is used to obtain optimized solutions without a partial differentiation of an objective function. The object of this research is developing the back analysis technique for multi-unknown variables by modeling the soil including underground structure Into upper and lower layer. In order to minimize interferent errors, repeated back analysis is performed and applicability on the real tunnel is examined. Consequently, the multi-layer analysis model is more precise in describing the real behavior of underground structure. It shows the validity of back analysis far multi-layer model which is the understructure placed on multi-layer boundaries.

In the back analysis of braced excavation based on displacement measurements, the accumulated errors of abnormal displacement caused by unexpected loads are usually observed. To minimize such errors, in this study, displacement increment was used fur back analysis rather than displacement for the conventional method. That is, the increment of sequential displacement is used as the objective function and the back analysis program is developed by taking advantage of sequential linear programming method by modified method of feasible directions. Based on small scale model test, the analysis of proposed method is verified.

3차원 대규모 지하구조물의 동적응답을 결정하기 위한 일반적인 수치해석이 제안되었다. 지반과 구조물을 해석하기 위하여 Laplace 변환을 적용한 경계요소법을 설명하였고, 지반-구조물계에 작용하는 외부 동적하중과 지진파를 고려할 수 있도록 공식화하였다. 동적교란이 전파되는 경우에 시간영역의 응답을 얻기 위하여는 구해진 변화된 해를 수치적인 Laplce 역변환을 수행하여야 하지만 동적교란이 조화적인 경우에는 응답이 주파수 영역으로부터 직접 얻어지며, 역변환이 필요하지 않다. 이 방법의 특징은 높은 정확도와 효율성이며, 지반-구조물계에 대하여 초기조건 및 점탄성 재료의 거동을 쉽게 고려할 수 있다는 것이다. 그러므로 이 방법은 다양한 지하구조물의 동적거동과 지진에 대한 취약함을 연구하기 위한 적절한 도구로 사용되어 질 수 있다.

There are two kinds of methods in the analysis of ship motion in irregular waves. The one is the spectral method in which the ship motion is assessed with spectral of irregular waves times R.A.O. of a ship. The other is, so called, time domain analysis, in which the irregular waves are used directly in the equation of ship motion to calculate the responses. In this paper, both methods are applied for the calculation of course keeping motion of a ship in irregular waves with auto-pilot control. And, the differences and useful1ness of the two methods in the assessment of auto-pilot system are compared.
