  • In order to study the fatigue performance of the flat steel plate-lightweight aggregate concrete hollow composite bridge slab subjected to fatigue load, both static test on two specimens and fatigue test on six specimens were conducted. The effects of the arrangement of the steel pipes, the amplitude of the fatigue load and the upper limit as well as lower limit of fatigue load on failure performance were investigated. Besides, for specimens in fatigue test, strains of the concrete, residual deflection, bending stiffness, residual bearing capacity and dynamic response were analyzed. Test results showed that the specimens failed in the fracture of the bottom flat steel plate regardless of the arrangement of the steel pipes. Moreover, the fatigue loading cycles of composite slab were mainly controlled by the amplitude of the fatigue load, but the influences of upper limit and lower limit of fatigue load on fatigue life was slight. The fatigue life of the composite bridge slabs can be determined by the fatigue strength of bottom flat steel plate, which can be calculated by the method of allowable stress amplitude in steel structure design code.

  • This paper considers robust stability and transient behavior of the Two - Degree - of - Freedom(2DOF) servosystem. A class of uncertainties allowed in the plant model is obtained, to which the servosystem is robustly stable for any gain of the integral compensator. This result implies that if the plant uncertainty is the allowable set defined by the condition, a high - gain compensation can be carried out preserving stability to achieve a high - speed tracking response. The transient behavior attainable by the limit of the high - gain compensation is calculated using the singular perturbation approach.

  • This study is analysis for adjacent structures and ground movement by deep excavation work. Underground Inclinometer has shown that deformation of increment is minor within to allowable limit. According to the measurements result of slope and crack for adjacent structures, a detached house showed bigger than hospital structure to deformation of increment. Variation of underground water level didn't effect so much to ground and adjacent structures movement because underground water flows in rock and didn't give the water press to propped walls. Measurement data of strut variation is within tolerance limit. Because excavation site's wall was strengthened suitably. This study will contribute in establishment of measurement standard and information-oriented construction during deep excavation in multi-layered ground including rock masses.

  • In concrete structural design provisons, two methods are normally provided to control deflection; direct method and indirect method. It is more efficient to use the indirect deflection control by which the span/depth ratio is limited not to exceed an allowable deflection limit. Because actual deflections are affected by many causes, it is complicated to evaluate actual deflections. In this study, limit span/depth ratios are derived from the deflection calculated directly at the serviceability limit state in RC members. The deflection is obtained from using average curvature, which depends on materials model used. The main variables examined are tension stiffening effect, concrete strength, cross section size and compressive steel ratio. It could be appeared that more analytical consistency is secured to use the 2nd order form of tension stiffening effect. And the limit span/depth ratio is dependent on material strength, tensile and compressive steel ratio but it is independent on cross-section size.

  • With the improvement of the accuracy of EDM and theodolite, three-dimensional geodetic coordinates can be determinated by means of analytical Intersection & Resection using vector approach. In this paper the accuracy of Resection, Intersection and Multilateration, by which the geodetic coordinates of a unknown point are determinated using the geodetic coordinates, horizontal angles, vertical angles, and slope distances to a known point are analyzed. As a result, it is found that the solution of multilateration method converges into an allowable limit and the method is better than other two methods in accuracy. And it is found that if the known points are over five points, the solution of Resection and Intersection method can also converge into an allowable limit.

  • This study is carried out to analyze the design method and safety rate degree for IEC 61400-3, DNV-OS-J101, GL Wind, EUROCODE, AASHTO and domestic design standard used for offshore wind turbine foundation design. The findings will provide a design parameter for domestic offshore wind turbine foundation design. The design of the steel Support Structure of an offshore wind turbine can be based on either the Allowable Stress Design(ASD) approach or the Load and Resistance Factor Design(LRFD) approach. The design principles with the use of LRFD method are described with various limit states. A limit state is a condition beyond which a structure or part of a structure exceeds a specified design requirement. Design by the LRFD method is a design method by which the target component safety level is obtained by applying load and resistance factors to characteristic reference values of loads (load effects)and structural resistance. When the strength design of the steel Support Structure is based on the ASD approach, the design acceptance criteria are to be expressed in terms of appropriate basic allowable stresses in accordance with the requirements specified. After comparison an economics domestic offshore wind turbine foundation standard will be developed.

  • To improve the bending strength of sawdustboard, verious resin contents of 10, 13, 16, and 19% were applied to the thin shell (face layer) composed with wire net or not. The shell effect of sawdust and wire net composition formed with core sawdustboard were evaluated. Forcusing on the effects of wire net composition and noncomposition including a comparison with chipboard and veneer complyboard, bending properties (Modulus of rupture (MOR), Modulus of elasticity (MOE), Stress at proportional limit ($S_{pl}$). Work to maximum load ($W_{ml}$))were analyzed and discussed. 1. In modulus of rutpute, veneer comply was the highest (621.5 kg/$cm^2$), and next decreasing order was wire net composition (159.1 kg/$cm^2$), chipboard (81.75 kg/$cm^2$), and wire net noncomposition (76.21 kg/$cm^2$) as in modulus of elasticity, work to maximum load, except for stress at proportional limit. 2. The highly significant effects were shown in both wire net composition and noncomposition, at the same time wire net composition exceeded two times of noncomposition throughout resin contents in bending properties. Chipboard was similar to the mean or 16% resin content in noncomposirion. 3. Every board in wire net composition above 10% resin content was beyond 100 kg/$cm^2$ in MOR, minimum allowable strength for structural use according to KS F 3104. In conclusion, the feasibility for improving the bending strength of weak sawdustboard by wire net composed shell was offered.

  • In order to operate the power system satisfactory for both system operators and customers, it is important to limit the harmonic currents to the allowable levels which injected into the system from the distorting installations. In this regard, the principles for the allocation of emission limits on individual customer were introduced in the technical report of IEC61000-3-6. According to these general principles, the emission limits are dependent on the agreed power of the customer, the power of the harmonic-generating equipment, and the system characteristics. The considerations in this report are very comprehensive and the process introduced is practical enough to implement as it is. However, there is a fact not appropriately dealing in the report that could be a very tickle but has a huge impact on determining the emission limit. This is the effect of non-harmonic load currents. More precisely, these are from the equipments which do not emit any harmonic or may emit harmonics but this specific order under the consideration by themselves if the source power is sinusoidal. The load currents originated from these equipments have an effect of active filter against the specific order of harmonic therefore, these should be dealt as a significant factoron the process of determining the emission limits for individual customer.

  • Limit state design (LSD) and allowable stress design (ASD) are two main types of soil nailing design methodologies. In the LSD method, stability is determined by applying individual coefficients to ground strength, working load and etc. The ASD method calculates the safety factor and compares it with the minimum safety factor to determine the stability. The global design trend of soil nailing system is changing from the ASD method to the LSD method. The design method in Korea still adopts the ASD philosophy while others mostly do the limit state design. In this study, four soil nail design methods, 'FHWA GEC 7' in U.S. (2015), 'Clouterre' in France (1991), 'Soil nailing - best practice guidance' in U.K. (2005), 'Geoguide 7' in Hongkong (2008), and 'Design guide for slope in construction work' in Korea (2016) were applied to the evaluation of the stability and the results were analyzed comparatively in brief. It is revealed that the design method of 'the overall stability of soil nail walls' in Korea is the most conservative and next those by FHWA, Clouterre and CIRIA become more conservative in order. However, the difference of results obtained from FHWA and Clouterre is negligible. Also, this study found out that efforts to improve domestic design criterion are needed.
