흔히 진흙으로 대표되는 점착성 유사는 모래와 같은 비점착성 유사와 달리 응집 현상으로 인해 지속적으로 유사 입자의 크기가 변화한다. 응집 현상은 점착성 유사 입자의 응집 과정과 파괴과정으로 구성된다. 응집 현상 중 응집 과정은 유사 입자 간의 충돌로 인해 발생하는 것으로 이해되며, 충돌을 야기하는 메커니즘으로는 브라운 운동(Brownian Motion), 차등침강(Differential Settling), 난류 전단 (Turbulent Flow Shear)이 있다. 파괴 과정은 입자간 충돌로 인해 깨지는 것이 아닌 난류 전단(Turbulent Shear)로 인한 덩어리 분리(Massive Splitting)가 발생하는 것으로 이해한다. 이러한 유체의 특성, 흐름 특성 (난류 거동) 뿐만 아니라 유사 입자의 특성 모두의 영향을 받으며 지속적인 응집 현상을 겪는 점착성 유사 입자들은 하나의 커다란 덩어리인 플럭(Floc)을 형성한다. 형성된 플럭의 구조는 프랙탈 기하학을 따르는 것으로 이해된다. 따라서 플럭의 구조는 자기 유사성을 띠며, 플럭의 밀도는 형성된 플럭 크기의 함수가 된다. 플럭의 크기가 증가할수록 플럭의 프랙탈 차원이 감소하며, 플럭의 밀도는 감소한다. 많은 이전의 연구에서 플럭의 침강 속도를 농도에 따른 함수로 가정하고 경험식을 이용하여 산정하나, 유사 입자의 침강 속도는 크기와 밀도의 함수임을 Stokes Law를 통해 생각해 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 응집 현상의 결과물로 형성된 응집물의 크기와 밀도를 각각 산정하고, Stokes Law를 이용하여 침강 속도와 응집물 크기의 관계에 대한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 보다 심도 있는 연구를 위해서는 응집 현상을 야기하는 메커니즘에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. 간소화된 응집 모형으로부터 얻어진 플럭 크기를 이용하여 프랙탈 차원, 플럭의 밀도를 산정한다. 형성된 응집물의 크기와 침강 속도의 관계에 대한 이해를 통해 보다 정확한 플럭의 침강 속도 산정이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

The objective of this paper is to provide a method of optimizing are as of the members as well as shape of both truss and arch structures. The design process includes satisfaction of stress and Euler buckling stress constraints for truss and combined stress constraints for arch structures. In order to reduce the number of detailed finite element analysis, the Force Approximation Method is used. A finite element analysis of the initial structure is performed and the gradients of the member end forces are calculated with respect to the areas and nodal coordinates. The gradients are used to form an approximate structural analysis based on first order Taylor series expansions of the member end forces. Using move limits, a numerical optimizer minimizes the volume of the structure with information from the approximate structural analysis. Numerical examples are performed and compared with other methods to demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of the Force Approximation Method for shape optimization. It is shown that the number of finite element analysis is greatly reduced and that it leads to a highly efficient method of shape optimization of structures.

Due to the fact that bare FBG sensors are very fragile, bare FBG sensor is not properly applied in practical infrastructures as it is not suitable to the rudeness of construction. Therefore packaged FBG sensors are developed for construction application. Since FBG senses strain and temperature simultaneously, temperature compensation for FBG strain sensors is indispensable. In this paper, temperature compensation techniques for steel sleeve packaged FBG sensors are brought forward. And its application on monitoring concrete beam was carried to test the feasibility of the temperature compensation technique. Temperature compensation technique used in this paper is feasible to be extended to structure health monitoring in civil engineering especially in large infrastructures etc.

Concrete structures can cause various problems as the number of common years increases when exposed to external extreme climate conditions. Among these problems, freezing and thawing occur due to the action of extreme climate factors such as heavy rain and heavy snow, which have become the most problematic in recent years. In this study, we present a rapid freezing and thawing test method of concrete in the air, referring to KS F 2456, as Seoul exhibits very dry weather during the period of freezing and thawing. Concrete test specimens and RC beams were fabricated to perform rapid freezing and thawing of 0, 100, 200, and 300 cycles, and the performance evaluation confirmed the degradation of each subject in material and member units. The design strength of 24 MPa, which performs rapid freezing and thawing in the air up to 300 cycles, decreases by 5.24 MPa (21%), and as rapid freezing and thawing in the air increases the stress burden on reinforced concrete bending members, reducing the energy absorption (dissipation) ability of structures due to earthquakes.

본 실험은 지금까지 우리나라에서 수행 되어온 기존, 건축 토목관계 실험의 수준을 한차원 높히는데 크게 기여하리라 생각된다. Hydraulic Jack을ㄹ 이용한 1 방향 실험과는 비교할 수 없을 정도로 자동화, 기계화를 이루었으며, 실험에 사용된 Actuator는 미국의 MTS사 제품으로 빠른 속도 (2Hz에서 최대 +/-7.5cm Stroke)로 움직이는 반복 주기 하중을 컴퓨터가 제어하고 Data를 자동적으로 컴퓨터에 기록하므로 구조물의 동적특성까지를 규명하는데 필수적인 장비이다. 또한 Shaking table은 실제로 발생하는 지진파를 그대로 입력시켜 구조물에 대한 내진 성능을 완벽하게 측정할 수 있다. 특히 구조설계자들 사이에도 논란이 되고 있는 우리나라 내진규준의 R factor(반응수정계수)를 정하는데 매우 유효한 역할을 하리라 기대된다.

In general, high strength and high performance fiber reinforced cement composites exclude coarse aggregates basically in order to have homogeneous distributions of material properties. However, these fiber-reinforced cement mortar without coarse aggregate have a tenancy that the modulus of elasticity is low and the unit weight of cement is high, resulting in low economic efficiency. Therefore, in this study, the development of high ductile fiber - reinforced concrete was conducted, which has the adequate level of coarse aggregate but still retains the high flexural toughness and strength and also has the crack - distributing performance. Experimental study was carried out by using the amount of coarse aggregate as an experimental parameter. The results showed that the best flexural toughness and crack dispersion characteristics was obtained when the coarse aggregate was added at 25% by weight of the fine aggregate to the typical mixtures of high ductile cement mortar. PVA fiber was effective in crack distribution and ductility enhancement, and steel fiber was effective in strengthening flexural strength rather than crack distribution.

Fiber-sheet and steel-plate strengthening methods have been mainly used for strengthening the RC structures. However, recently the application of these two methods have dramatically decreased due to premature debonding failure between concrete surface and fiber-sheet and heavy self-weight of steel-plate. This article presents experimental results of shear behavior in RC beams strengthened with GSP(Glass fiber-Steel composite Plate). The thin steel plate in GSP makes usage of the anchoring system possible, which could delay or prevent the premature debonding failure. Three reference beams and 60 strengthened beams with GSP were tested. The experimental results showed that strengthened beams with GSP considerably increased in shear capacity compared with the reference beams.

The heat of hydration for early aged mass concrete induces high temperature with the hydration. Control of the temperature difference across a section is an effective strategy to minimize the hydration heat induced cracks for the structures where internal restraint is dominant. The current prevention methods for hydration cracking show some limitations for the control of thermal gradients, and these limitations could make micro and macro cracks in surface and core of concrete. Especially cooling methods can decrease the increasing hydration temperature, but it can not prevent the problem while decreasing temperature. Consequently heating pipes are added simultaneously with the cooling pipes in order to control the temperature gradients between core and surface of the concrete, followed by the finite element analysis (FEA). Based on the FEA, the proposed method using cooling pipe and heating pipes together has been found to be an effective alternative in thermal gradient control, in terms of controlling temperature induced cracks significantly.

In recent years, there have been numerous explosion-related accidents due to military and terrorist activities. Such incidents caused not only damages to structures but also human casualties, especially in urban areas. To protect structures and save human lives against explosion accidents, better understanding of the explosion effect on structures is needed. In an explosion, the blast overpressure is applied to concrete structures as an impulsive load of extremely short duration with very high pressure and heat. Generally, concrete is known to have a relatively high blast resistance compared to other construction materials. However, information and test results related to the blast experiment of internal and external have been limited due to military and national security reasons. Therefore, in this paper, to evaluate blast effect on reinforced have concrete structure and its protective performance, blast tests are carried out with $1.0m{\times}1.0m{\times}150mm$ reinforce concrete slab structure at the Agency for Defence Development. The standoff blast distance is 1.5 m and the preliminary tests consists with TNT 9 lbs and TNT 35 lbs and the main tests used ANFO 35 lbs. It is the first ever blast experiment for nonmilitary purposes domestically. In this paper, based on the basic experiment procedure and measurement details for acquiring structural behavior data, the blast experimental measurement system and procedure are established details. The procedure of blast experiments are based on the established measurement system which consists of sensor, signal conditioner, DAQ system, software. It can be used as basic research references for related research areas, which include protective design and effective behavior measurements of structure under blast loading.

Dynamic response of structures can be evaluated experimentally by conducting cyclic loading tests. It has been known that steel materials are rate-dependent and the lateral response of a structure is significantly affected by the presence of axial force. However, the rate-dependency of steel column structures subjected to both axial and lateral loads has not been sufficiently studied yet due to the difficulty of controlling the axial force in a real-time manner during test. This study introduces an advanced way to apply the axial load in real-time to a column specimen using the adaptive time series (ATS) compensator and the flexible loading beam (FLB), where the H-shape steel columns made of SS275 are used for monotonic and cyclic loading tests with various loading rates with axial loads. The lateral strength and post-yield response of the steel columns are compared for each of monotonic and cyclic loading tests. The estimating equation of yield stress of various strain rate has proposed and finite element analysis were performed for comparison.
