Analytical and simulation error models have the ability to describe (or realize) error-corrupted versions of spatial data. But the different approaches for modeling positional errors require an internal validation that ascertains whether the analytical and simulation error models predict correct positional errors in a defined set of conditions. This paper presents stochastic simulation models of a point and a line segm ent to be validated w ith analytical error models, which are an error ellipse and an error band model, respectively. The simulation error models populate positional errors by the Monte Carlo simulation, according to an assumed error distribution prescribed by given parameters of a variance-covariance matrix. In the validation process, a set of positional errors by the simulation models is compared to a theoretical description by the analytical error models. Results show that the proposed simulation models realize positional uncertainties of the same spatial data according to a defined level of positional quality.

Ship structures are basically an assembly of plate elements and the load-carrying capacity or the ultimate strength is one of the most important criteria for safety assessment and economic design. Also, Structural elements making up ship plated structures do not work separately, resulting in high degree of redundancy and complexity, in contrast to those of steel framed structures. To enable the behavior of such structures to be analyzed, simplifications or idealizations must essentially be made considering the accuracy needed and the degree of complexity of the analysis to be used. On this study, to investigate effect of modeling range, the finite element method are used and their results are compared varying the analysis ranges. The model has been selected from bottom panels of large merchant ship structures. For FEA, three types of structural modeling are adopted in terms of the extent of the analysis. The purpose of the present study is to numerically calculate the characteristics of ultimate strength behavior according to the analysis ranges of stiffened panels subject to uniaxial compressive loads.

In this study the infinite slope model, one of the physical landslide models has been suggested to evaluate the susceptibility of the landslide. However, applying the infinite slope model in regional study area can be difficult or impossible because of the difficulties in obtaining and processing of large spatial data sets. With limited site investigation data, uncertainties were inevitably involved with. Therefore, the probabilistic analysis method such as Monte Carlo simulation and the GIS based infinite slope stability model have been used to evaluate the probability of failure. The proposed approach has been applied to practical example. The study area in Boeun area been selected since the area has been experienced tremendous amount of landslide occurrence. The geometric characteristics of the slope and the mechanical properties of soils like to friction angle and cohesion were obtained. In addition, coefficient of variation (COV) values in the uncertain parameters were varied from 10% to 30% in order to evaluate the effect of the uncertainty. The analysis results showed that the probabilistic analysis method can reduce the effect of uncertainty involved in input parameters.

Wind tunnels tests have been evaluating wind load estimation by discussing the most important design elements in very tall buildings. Such tests have some uncertainties, however, with respect to the data of the reduced model and the calculated empirical values. In contrast, CFD analysis can simulate the actual scale and shorten the time of simulation. Nevertheless, the utilization of CFD analysis is negligible because of its low reliability. In this paper, the reliability of CFD analysis will be proven by comparing the results of a wind tunnel test and CFD analysis for the prototype models shown in previous studies. The effect of the turbulence intensity on the reliability is also presented.

Recently, earthquakes have occurred in our country and seismic stability of high-rise buildings in large cities is being a growing interest and thus the related studies have been increased. Also the grounds are considered indirectly in most of seismic designs and analyses and seismic researches based on 3D dynamic analysis are insufficient. In this study, therefore, 2D and 3D dynamic analyses were performed based on the SSI complete model including grounds and the behavior was compared and analyzed. For dynamic modeling, linear time history analyses were performed by using MIDAS GTS NX. For this purpose, a high-rise building was assumed to be constructed on top of the bedrock and surrounded by a surface layer. A sensitivity analysis was performed with the selected parameters. The dynamic behavior was compared and analyzed in terms of horizontal displacements, drift ratios, bending stresses, and weak parts. In most cases, 2D dynamic behavior was calculated to be larger than 3D's and thus it shows more conservative results with increasing number and size of weak parts.

The deformation and crack width of concrete walls of slabs, plates, panels and shells reinforced by a regular rectangular net of reinforcing bars and subjected to in-plane (membrane) internal forces is analyzed on the basis of a realistic model which takes into account the frictional-dilatant behavior of rough interlocked cracks, the effect of tension stiffening, and the dowel action of bars at crack crossings. Extensive numerical computer studies are carried out, and the reinforcement designs obtained from equilibrium conditions alone on the basis of either the classical frictionless approach or the recent frictional approach are compared in terms of the resulting crack widths. It is found that the use of frictional equilibrium design based on a low friction coefficient leads to a much smaller crack width than the classical frictionless design. The influences of bar diameter and crack spacing on the crack width are also studied. The model allows more realistic deformation analysis of reinforced concrete structures.

우리나라의 대표적인 도서지역인 제주도는 일반 내륙지역과 달리 지표수-지하수에 대한 연구가 지하수계에 대한 연구에 비해 미미한 실정이다. 제주도의 경우 내륙과 달리 대부분의 하천이 평상시 건천의 형태로 유지되며, 일정한 강우가 도달해야만 지표유출이 발생하는 경우가 많다. 이와 같은 하천특성은 내륙과 매우 상이하여 일반적으로 사용되는 유역 수문해석 방법으로는 수문성분의 정확한 산정을 기대하기 어렵고 이로 인해 지하수 해석에 있어서도 불확실성이 크게 증가하는 요인이 된다. 따라서 지표수의 정확한 거동과 지하수 해석의 불확실성을 줄이기 위해 유역개념의 물순환을 해석할 수 있는 지표수-지하수 연계 해석기술이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 '삼다수 먹는샘물 환경영향조사'가 수행되어 비교적 정확한 지하수위 관측 자료가 확보되어 있고, 매우 제한적이기는 하나 하천의 유출량 조사가 수행된 바 있는 제주 표선 유역에 완전연동형 지표수-지하수 해석 프로그램인 SWAT-MODFLOW을 이용하여 지표수 유출성분과 지하수 유동변화를 동시에 고려한 분석을 수행하였다. 특히 MODFLOW의 Well 패키지와 SWAT의 물이동 옵션을 결합하여 표선유역의 198개 관측공의 양수를 동시에 모의하였다. 모의결과 지하수위는 비교적 양수에 비해 안정되게 유지되는 것을 알 수 있었고 이를 통해 현재 삼다수 공장의 양수량은 현재로서는 과다양수가 아닌 것으로 판단되었다. 현재의 양수량의 10배를 가정하여 모의를 한 결과, 지하수위는 함양에 의해 다시 회복되는 결과를 보이고 있어 이 지역의 실제 개발가능량에 대한 보다 심도있는 논의가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 나아가 이와 같은 분석을 통해 제주 지역의 전체의 지하수 개발가능량을 산정할 경우 제주지역의 지하수 관리방안이 새롭게 제시될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Ultrasonic technique which is one of the most common and reliable nondestructive evaluation techniques has been applied to evaluate the integrity of structures by analyzing the characteristics of signal scattered from internal defects. Therefore, the numerical analysis of the ultrasonic scattered field is absolutely necessary for the accurate and quantitative estimation of internal defects. Various modeling techniques now play an important role in nondestructive evaluation and have been employed to solve elastic wave scattering problems. Because the elastodynamic boundary element method is useful to analyze the scattered field in infinite media. it has been used to calculate the ultrasonic wavefields scattered from internal defects. In this study, a review of the boundary element method used for elastic wave scattering problems is presented and, as examples of the boundary element method, the scattered fields due to a circular cavity subjected to incident SH-wave and due to a surface-breaking crack subjected to incident Rayleigh wave are illustrated.

An analytical model is presented to predict the static behavior of the long-span prestressed concrete bridge deck(the long-span PSC deck). The finite element analysis is performed and the results are compared with that of the previous experimental test. The load-deflection relationship curves by FEM are in good agreement with the results reported in the previous study. The failure mode of all test specimens is predicted by the punching shear in this study. It is also observed in the previous experimental test. The main objective of this paper is presenting supportive method to predict static behavior of the long-span PSC deck slab. It is not simulating the punching shear behavior graphically.

Urban flooding is usually caused by the surcharge of storm sewers. For this reason, previous studies on urban flooding are mainly concentrated on the simulation of urban drainage systems. However these approaches that find the pipes which have insufficient drainage capacity are very approximate and unreasonable ways in establishing both flood prevention and flood-loss reduction planning. In this study, a two-dimensional model linked the existing ILLUDAS model is developed to calculate the accurate and resonable solution about urban flood inundation and it is verified by using the simulation of July 2001 flood in Seoul. In the urban area with a small difference of ground elevations, the two-dimensional flood propagation phases must be considered to make a accurate analysis for inundated area and depth. The result of this study can be used to construct fundamental data for a flood control plan and establish a urban flood forecasting/warning system.
