The differences in the stress distribution and the critical stresses in concrete pavement systems were analyzed when the dual-wheel single-, tandem-, and tridem-axle loads were applied at the interior and the edge of the pavement. The effects of the concrete elastic modulus, slab thickness, foundation stiffness, and tire contact pressure were investigated. The stresses under the interior loads were calculated using the transformed field domain analysis and stresses under the edge loads were obtained using the finite element method. The critical stresses under the interior and the edge loads were compared with respect to various parameters and the equations to predict the ratio between the stresses under the edge and the interior loads were developed and verified. From this study, it was found that the trends of the changes in the critical concrete stresses under the interior and the edge loads were very similar and the critical stress locations under those loads were identical. The critical stress ratio, which was obtained by dividing the critical stress under the edge loads into that under the interior loads, decreased with increasing the number of axles. That ratio became larger as the concrete elastic modulus increased, the slab thickness increased, the foundation stiffness decreased, and the tire contact pressure increased.

해안의 연약지반에 건설되는 폐기물 매립지는 매립지의 안정성 평가를 위하여 하부기초지반의 침하거동 특성에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현장 침하계측자료를 이용하여 현장 간극비와 현장 압축지수를 역산하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 매립초기에는 상부하중에 의한 유효응력증가가 미소하여 하부기초지반은 과압밀 특성을 나타내고 현장 압축지수 변화가 미소하였으나, 매립이 진행될수록 상부하중이 선행압밀하중을 초과하여 정규압밀영역으로 변화함에 따라 큰 폭의 증가를 보였다.

This study was carried out to select proper loading speed for deformation strength ($S_D$) of asphalt mixtures. Kim test using loading head of diameter(40mm) with radius(10mm) was conducted to measure $S_D$ in different loading speed (10mm/min, 30mm/min, 50mm/min, 70mm/min) and wheel tracking test was also conducted. The regression analyses between the So values and WT results were carried out by loading speeds. Higher $S_D$ was observed as increasing loading speed. This means that loading speed is a high influencing factor on $S_D$. The loading speed of 30mm/min was found as an optimum for better correlation with WT results than any other speeds from the regression analysis between $S_D$ and wheel tracking test results. $S_D$ value measured at other loading speed than 30mm/min has to apply the conversion coefficients.

케이블 장대 교량의 해석에 있어서 기하적인 비선형만을 고려한 해석이 보편적이었다. 하지만 이 연구에서는 내진 해석시 케이블지지 교량이 비탄성적으로 거동 할 수 있기 때문에, 기하적인 비선형 이외에 재료적인 비선형을 고려할 필요가 있음을 보이고자 한다. 극한 하중 상태를 모사하기 위하여 사하중에 하중계수를 곱하여 하중을 증가시켜 중력방향으로 하중을 가하였고, 지진에 대한 하중 상태를 모사하기 위하여 교축방향의 지진 하중에 대한 등가의 등분포 하중과 이의 0.3배에 해당하는 수직 방향 하중을 동시에 가하였다. 이러한 해석을 통하여 자중의 2배 이상의 하중이 가해지면 거더가 비탄성적으로 거동 할 수 있고, 또한 교축 방향과 수직 방향의 설계지진하중을 고려할 경우 수평방향의 구속이 모두 풀리면 주탑이 비탄성적으로 거동 할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 케이블지지 교량의 지진 해석시 특정한 경우에 있어서는 비탄성 거동을 고려해야 할 필요가 있을 것으로 보인다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the slab thickness on the tensioning design and to determine the optimal slab thickness of the post-tensioned concrete pavement (PTCP). The tensile stresses due to the vehicle and environmental loads were obtained using a finite element analysis model and the tensioning stress was calculated employing an allowable flexural strength. The environmental loads of both the constant temperature gradient and the constant temperature difference between top and bottom of the slab were considered. The tensioning designs for various slab thicknesses were performed considering prestressing losses. The comparison results showed that generally as the thickness increased, the number of tendons became larger. Consequently, the design was not economical for a thicker slab thickness. Even though the number of tendons became smaller with an increase in the thickness under the small environmental load, a thicker PTCP slab was not economical because of a higher cost of concrete than that of steel. Therefore, the slab thickness should be kept in minimum within the construction available thicknesses.

In order to study the behavior of the sheet pile under vertical load in sands, model pile tests using calibration chamber are performed. For this research, five model piles, with the same section area and different degree of inclination of flange, were made. And model pile tests were conducted for each of these piles with different relative density and direction of applied load. For model pile which has the same shape, compression capacity is about 100% higher than pullout capacity and the difference increases with increasing relative density. Pullout ultimate capacity and corresponding displacement increase with increasing relative density and the pullout capacities remained almost the same irrespective of the inclination of flanges for the same density. The ultimate capacity under compression load is highest at 30$^{\circ}$ of inclination of flanges and the trend is more evident with increasing relative density. From the analysis of load distribution, the higher loading capacity at 30$^{\circ}$ of inclination of flanges with same section area may be attributed to the partial soil plug between flanges.

In this study, numerical analyses were used to investigate the performance of a coupling control method for the dynamic responses of adjacent buildings under multiple hazards. Numerical simulations were done using the earthquake loads of regions with strong seismicity in Los Angeles, California, and the wind loads in regions with strong winds in Charleston, North Carolina. The artificial earthquake and wind loads were made using SIMQKE and Kaimal Spectrum based on ASCE 7-10. Ten-story and twenty-story adjacent buildings were selected as example structures, and nonlinear hysteretic dampers were used to connect them. The Bouc-Wen model was used to model the nonlinear hysteretic dampers. The results show that the proposed control method could effectively reduce the dynamic responses, and the optimal control designs were different for each hazard.

This study conducted tensile tests on SA508 Gr.1a low alloy steel and SA312 TP316 stainless steel piping materials under various strain rates at room temperature (RT) and $316^{\circ}C$ to investigate the effects of loading rate on the deformation behavior of nuclear piping materials. At RT, the deformation behavior for both pipe materials showed a typical loading rate dependence, i.e., the strength increased and the ductility decreased as the loading rate increased. At $316^{\circ}C$, however, the strength and elongation of SA508 Gr.1a low alloy steel decreased as the loading rate increased, and its reduction of area non-linearly varied with the loading rate. For SA312 TP316 stainless steel, the strength, elongation, and reduction of area at $316^{\circ}C$ were almost the same regardless of the loading rate. At both temperatures, the strain hardening capacity was nearly independent of the loading rate for SA508 Gr.1a low alloy steel, while it decreased with increasing loading rate for SA312 TP316 stainless steel.

Recently, due to the increasing overloaded heavy vehicles and traffic volumes fatigue failures of steel highway bridges frequently occur. Therefore, it is important to decide rational fatigue design procedure which can reflect lifetime cumulative fatigue damage reasonably. In this study, cumulative fatigue damages are simulated for various bridge systems and traffic conditions. The AASHTO LRFD fatigue design procedure is reviewed and the current fatigue design loading format, in which a single representative truck is loaded regardless of bridge width, is found to yield inconsistent safety level. Improved loading format with rational design load level for fatigue design is suggested.

세라믹 강화 복합 재료의 모재로서 사용되는 무정형 PEEK가 보여주는 self-bonding 현상의 주 기구인 PEEK체인들의 확산(interdiffusion)과 뒤엉킴(entanglement)이 일어나기 위하여 PEEK의 접합 면에서 반드시 선행되어 일어나야 하는 젖음성의 정도에 미치는 접합 공정 변수의 영향을 C-mode acoustic microscopy를 이용하여 고찰하였다. 또한 self-bonding 된 PEEK시편들의 전단 변형시 전단 하중의 증가에 따라 일어나는 접합 면에서의 debonding 정도를 측정함으로써 접합 면에서 일어나는 파괴 거동을 관찰하였다. 각각의 접합 조건에서의 젖음성의 정도는 시간과 압력의 증가에 따라 다소 증가함을 보여 주었으나, 접합 온도와는 거의 무관함을 보여 주었다. 또한 전단 파괴 시험시 각각의 접합 조건 하에서 개발된 self-bonding강도의 80%-90%이상의 전단 하중이 가해진 후부터 debonding이 시작되어, 이 후 하중이 증가함에 따라 급속도로 진행되어 파괴가 일어남을 알 수 있었다.
