The stiff top layer in a soil profile, which can happen in winter, may change the isolation effect of the wave barrier. The research scope of this paper is the investigation of the propagation of surface waves in layered soil with a stiff layer on its top, and the isolation effect of the solid stiff wave barrier. The investigations have been performed numerically by the Boundary-Element Method as a two-dimensional problem. A strip foundation vibrated harmonically in vertical direction was considered as the vibration source. Three soil profiles, a homogeneous half-space, two profiles with different thickness of stiff top layer, with two different types of wave barriers were investigated. The profiles with a stiff top layer show considerable reductions of the amplitude of the vibration in comparison to the homogeneous soil profile. The layered soil profiles with a stiff top layer do not show wave propagation velocities as high as they are expected from the material properties. Furthermore the vibration amplitudes in a frozen soil are much smaller with distance than in a non-frozen soil.

It is important to understand the vibrating behavior of plate structures for its many engineering applications. In this study, the vibration characteristics of strip plates that have finite width and infinite length are investigated theoretically and numerically. The waveguide finite element(WFE) approach, which is an effective tool for studying waveguide structures, is used in this study. The WFE method requires only a cross-sectional finite element model, and uses theoretical harmonic solutions to assess wave propagation along the longitudinal direction. First, WFE results for a simple strip plate are compared with the theoretical results(i.e., dispersion diagrams and point mobilities) to validate the numerical model. Then, in the numerical analysis, different numbers of longitudinal stiffeners are included in the plate model to investigate the effects of stiffeners in terms of the dispersion curves and mobilities. Finally, the dispersion curves of a stiffened double plate are obtained to examine the characteristics of its wave propagation.

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.

Ground vibrations caused by pile driving or explosive blasting can affect the stability of power line tower and its foundation. Because the characteristics of ground vibrations generally depend on the distances from the blast, the ground vibrations should be controlled by taking the distance into account. In this study, ground vibration levels were measured at the foundation of a power line tower and on ground surface adjacent to the tower. The relationships between the dominant frequencies of the ground vibrations that were measured at both locations were comparatively investigated.

Recently, KTX start service 2004 and speed up the Chung-ang line and Ho-nam line using tilting train. When the train speed up at curve the vibration environment are changed. It is the reason of the wave propagation problem in the curved source. In this research, using SSI Program SASSI, Predict the vibration propagation around the curved source of vibration. The curved source of vibration propagation is different from straight source of vibration propagation. In this study, made a curved vibration source model and compared with straight model.

This study performed to investigate the propagation characteristics of overpressure, impulse, vibration in underwater blasting. The difference between air blasting and underwater blasting is that noise and vibration propagate through water as a medium. In some cases, the noise and vibration propagates through various media (rock, water, air, etc.). In this study, the underwater blasting was simulated using AUTODYN, and the propagation characteristics of overpressure, impulse and vibration induced by blasting were analyzed. We mainly focused on the effect of mesh size on the overpressure, impulse and peak particle velocity from the underwater blasting simulation. The numerical results indicated that the overpressure and peak particle velocity tended to decrease as the mesh size increased, while the impulse increased with the mesh size. The results also indicated that the mesh dependence varied depending on the explosive charge and scaled distance.

우리나라와 같이 철도의 운행위치와 소음 피해를 받는 수음자 간의 거리가 인접되어 있는 경우, 소음의 전파특성은 과도형상을 나타내는 구간에 속하게 되어 전파중에 나타나는 지표면의 다양한 물리적, 현상과 경계면 등의 이피던스 값등이 많은 영향을 끼치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 철도소음의 소음원 자체에 대한 모델링 기법과, 자유공간을 전파할 때 나타나는 거리감쇠 효과 등을 고려한 음향학적인 연속선음원 및 유한 불연속 선음원 등에 대한 검토가 이루어졌고, 특히, 소음원의 크기에 비교하여 수음자의 위치에 따라 저감되는 음향전파특성을 설명하였다. 또한, 유한한 길이를 가지고 있는 철도차량의 소음원 모델을 이용하여 향후 국내에서 운행되리라 예상되는 고속철도의 음향파워를 산출하였다. 산출된 음향파워로부터 철도변의 소음분포를 도출하였으며 고속철도의 경우 운행시 소음피해가 어느 정도인지를 예상하였다.

Explosive blasting in tunnel excavation produces ground vibration and air blast as its side effects, which may cause complaints from nearby residents. This study was intended to investigate the propagation characteristics of ground vibration induced by tunnel blasting and to evaluate its effects on the residential structures near the site. We have conducted field measurements for 6 blasts and acquired vibration data from 70 measuring points, some of which on positioned inside the tunnel for comparative reason. Various documentation was reviewed to determine an allowable level of peak particle velocity for the residential structures in the area and the allowable limit was set to 0.5 cm/sec. Propagation equations for peak particle velocities were derived from regression analyses using the data acquired at both the surface and the underground tunnel. Finally we proposed appropriate predictive equations for the two areas and a safe blasting criterion.

The suppression of residual settlement is required on earthwork sections as concrete track is introduced. Use of pile-slab structure is one of the settlement restraining methods applied on soft ground. The slab distributes the upper embankment load and piles transfer the load from the slab to the stiff ground. While this method is very effective in terms of load transfer, it has not yet been established for dealing with the vibration transfer effects and interaction characteristics between a structure and the ground. It is possible that vibration caused by a moving train load is propagated in the upper embankment, because the slab acts as a reflection layer and waves are multi-reflected. In this present paper, wave propagation generated by a moving train load is evaluated in the time and frequency domains to consider a roadbed structure using an artificial impact load and field measured train load. The results confirmed the wave reflection effect on the pile-slab structure, if the embankment height is sufficient, vibration propagation can be stably restrained, whereas if the height is not sufficient, the vibration amplitude is increased.
