The purpose of this paper is to address the structural integrity of the stem disc T-head connection of the motor operated valve assembly by comparing the previously developed methodology with the finite element analysis(FEA). From the experiences of the previously performed weak link analysis, the most of "weak links" when valve is opened are stem-disc T-head connections, and the bearing stress on the disc is the dominant stress. The results of FEA are compared with that of the classical approaches of the weak link analysis. The higher allowable thrust be represented by performing the elastic-plastic FEA.

Presently, the general seismic fragility evaluation method for a bridge system composed of member elements with different nonlinear behaviors against strong earthquakes has been to evaluate at the element-level. This study aims to develop a system-level seismic fragility evaluation method that represents a structural system. Because the seismic behavior of bridges is generally divided into transverse and longitudinal directions, this study evaluated the system-level seismic fragility in both directions separately. The element-level seismic fragility evaluation in the longitudinal direction was performed for piers, bridge bearings, pounding, abutments, and unseating. Because pounding, abutment, and unseating do not affect the transverse directional damages, the element-level seismic fragility evaluation was limited to piers and bridge bearings. Seismic analysis using nonlinear models of various structural members was performed using the OpenSEES program. System-level seismic fragility was evaluated assuming that damage between element-levels was serially connected. Pier damage was identified to have a dominant effect on system-level seismic fragility than other element-level damages. In other words, the most vulnerable element-level seismic fragility has the most dominant effect on the system-level seismic fragility.

하천수위는 상류에 위치한 유역의 유출상황에 따라서 지속적으로 변화하게 되며, 특히 홍수시에 급격하게 상승하고 홍수피해를 야기하게 된다. 이 때문에 하천의 수위변화를 모의·예측하기 위한 많은 이론이 제안되고 적용되어 왔으며, 일반적으로 강수와 유역특성을 시공간적으로 고려할 수 있는 수리·수문모형을 이용하여 모의되어 왔으나 숙련된 전문가가 필요하다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 각종 수방활동에 종사하는 관련자가 특정 지점의 홍수시 수위상승 특성을 간편하게 확인하고 활용할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하는 데 있다. 이를 위하여 한강수계에 위치한 홍수취약지구에 홍수정보를 제공하는 45개 수위관측소의 2010년부터 2022년 사이의 10분 단위 수위자료를 수집 하였으며, 각 지점별로 수위자료에 홍수 사상에서 발생하는 시간적인 상승량을 단위시간을 통하여 수위 상승값을 분위화하는 수위상승거동곡선(Water-level Rising Behavior Curve) 개념을 적용하여 분석하였다. 적용결과에 따라, 일반적인 유역은 유역특성에 따라서 홍수위가 상승하다가 일정시간이 경과한 후에 평형상태에 도달하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 특성을 현장 종사자가 정량적으로 판단하기 위한 보조자료 및 각종 수방계획 수립을 위한 기초자료로서 활용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, a new methodology was proposed to evaluate the flood vulnerability of river levee and to investigate the effect on the levee where the water level changes according to climate change. The stability of levee against seepage was evaluated using SEEP/W model which is two-dimensional groundwater infiltration model. In addition to the infiltration behavior, it is necessary to analyze the vulnerability of the embankment considering the environmental conditions of the river due to climate change. In this study, the levee flood vulnerability index (LFVI) was newly developed by deriving the factors necessary for the analysis of the levee vulnerability. The size of river levee was investigated by selecting the target area. The selected levees were classified into upstream part, midstream part and downstream part at the nearside of Seoul in the Han river, and the safety factor of the levee was analyzed by applying the design flood level of the levee. The safety ratio of the levee was analyzed by applying the design flood level considering the current flood level and the scenario of climate change RCP8.5. The degree of change resulting from climate change was identified for each factor that forms the levee flood vulnerability index. By using the levee flood vulnerability index value utilizing these factors comprehensively, it was finally possible to estimate the vulnerability of levee due to climate change.

우리나라 최남단에 위치한 광역자치단체인 제주특별자치도는 태풍의 길목에 위치한 지정학적 특성, 한라산 영향에 의한 호우의 산지효과, 기후변화로 인한 해수면상승 가속화 등에 의해 재해 위험이 매우 높은 지역이다. 또한, 연안지역에 위치한 주거지, 숙박시설 입지 특성과 더불어 해안가의 개발수요 증가에 따라 재해취약성도 지속적으로 악화되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 제주지역을 대상으로 침수재해 취약성을 평가하고, 취약지역 특성을 파악한다. 그 결과, 도 내의 취약지역 분포와 취약등급에 따른 지역적 특성을 알 수 있었으며, 이를 토대로 취약지역 여건에 맞는 도시계획적 방재대책에 대한 시사점을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상과 같은 결과는 기후변화 심화로 인한 호우 패턴 변화에 대응하기 위해 전방위적인 방재시설이 필요함은 물론, 취약지역에 적합한 도시계획적 관점의 관리대책이 마련되어야 함을 시사한다.

In this study, a health monitoring system was developed for the two most vulnerable parts of a wind tower support structure: the connection between steel towers (L-Flange) and the concrete foundation-steel tower connection. To select assessment parameters for health monitoring, detailed FEM analysis was conducted using the ABAQUS program. Additionally, a testbed was established near the Jeju Woljeongri wind turbine farm to evaluate the applicability of measurement data by installing sensors. Through computational analysis and relevant criteria review, we defined limits for measurement parameters by vulnerable section. We categorized the structural safety evaluation into four stages: normal, caution, warning, and danger, and selected management criteria for each stage. From this, an algorithm to evaluate safety was developed, and a visualized monitoring platform based on the established critical parts monitoring system was developed.

Pulse-like ground motion can cause greater damage to structures than nonpulse-like ground motion. Currently, much research is being conducted to determine the presence or absence of velocity pulses and to quantify them from seismic-acceleration records. Existing ground motion is divided into far-field (FF) and near-fault ground motion, based on the distance of the measurement point from the fault. Near-fault ground motion is further classified into near-fault pulse-like (NFP) and near-fault nonpulse-like (NFNP) ground motion by quantifying the presence or absence of velocity pulses. For each ground motion group, 40 FF, 40 NFP, and 40 NFNP ground motions are selected; thus, 120 ground motions are used in the seismic analysis to assess the seismic fragility of sample bridges. Probabilistic seismic demand models (PSDMs) are created by evaluating the seismic responses of two types of sample bridges with lead-rubber and elastomeric rubber bearings using three groups of ground motions. Seismic fragility analysis is performed using the PSDM, and from these results, the effect of the presence or absence of seismic velocity pulses on the seismic fragility is evaluated. From the comparison results of the seismic fragility curve, the seismic fragility of NFP ground motion appears to be approximately three to five times greater than that of NFNP ground motion, according to the presence or absence of a velocity pulse of seismic waves. This means that the damage to the bridge is greater in the case of NFP ground motion than that in the case of NFNP ground motion.

홍수피해가 빈발하는 도시 및 소규모 산지 유역에서와 같이 지체시간이 짧은 유역에서 국지적으로 발생하는 돌발홍수는 우량계와 기존 하천유역 예보시스템만으론 예보가 불가능하다. 동일한 강우에서도 지역에 따라 침수시간이나 침수심이 달라지기 때문에 정확한 돌발홍수예보를 위해서는 지역에 따른 침수특성과 유속특성을 달리 고려해야 한다. '골든타임 확보를 위한 유역 시공간 상세 홍수예보기술 개발(환경부)'에서 개발한 '국지 돌발홍수예측 시스템'은 지역별 검증된 침수특성과 유속특성의 관계식을 산정하여 돌발홍수예보 기준을 설정하였다. 그리고 도달시간이 짧은 도시 및 산지에서 홍수예보 선행시간을 확보하기 위해 강우레이더 기반 돌발홍수 예측 시스템을 구축하여 시범 운영 중이다. 그러나 도시·산지 중소하천유역 등 홍수예보 취약지역에 대한 돌발홍수예보 정확도를 제고하기 위해서는 기 설정된 돌발홍수위험 예보 기준을 정밀하게 평가·검증·개선 할 수 있는 실증 체계가 반드시 필요하다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구에서는 2021년부터 3개년 동안 홍수예보 취약지역에 강우레이더와 경제적 IoT 관측센서 정보를 기반으로 돌발홍수예보 실증기술을 개발하여 전국 돌발홍수예보 실용화 기반 구축하고자 한다. 홍수피해 취약지역인 도심지, 산지·계곡, 해안지역에 실증 테스트베드를 선정하고 강우레이더-IoT 실증 관측망을 구축하여 돌발홍수예보 기술 실증과 돌발홍수 위험기준 설정 가이드라인을 마련하고자 한다. 더불어 도시 중소하천유역 홍수예보 활용을 위한 소형강우레이더 강우량 정확도 개선 기술 개발과 홍수기 강우레이더 기반 홍수예보 관-연 협업 시범 운영을 추진할 계획이며, 최종적으로는 강우레이더와 IoT 정보 기반 돌발홍수 실증 시스템을 구축 운영하고자 한다.

A fish-bone type bridge is vulnerable to the torsional behavior due to the single girder system with planar zigzag conformation. The fixed connecting area between the girder and pier is the special weak point because the torsional load creates excessive stress concentration. Therefore, the method to reduce the stress concentration is required. In this study, the reduction efficiency of various reinforcing types to reduce the excessive stress occurring at the connecting area is evaluated by using numerical analyses.
