Nucleate pool boiling experiments were performed using pure R11 for various surface angles under constant heat flux conditions during saturated pool boiling. A 1-mm-diameter circular heater with an artificial cavity in the center that was fabricated using a MEMS technique and a high-speed controller were used to maintain the constant heat flux. Bubble growth images were taken at 5000 frames per second using a high-speed CCD camera. The bubble geometry was obtained from the captured bubble images. The effects of the surface angle on the bubble growth behavior were analyzed for the initial and thermal growth regions using dimensional scales. The parameters that affected the bubble growth behavior were the bubble radius, bubble growth rate, sliding velocity, bubble shape, and advancing and receding contact angles. These phenomena require further analysis for various surface angles and the obtained constant heat flux data provide a good foundation for such future work.

Fiber models have been developed and applied to various structural elements such as shear walls, beams and columns. Only scarcely have fiber models been applied to circular foundation systems such as cast in drilled holes shafts (CIDH). In pile foundations with constraint head boundary conditions, shear deformations can easily contribute to the lateral pile response. However, soil structure interaction formulations such as the p-y method, commonly used for lateral pile design, do not include structural shear deformations in its traditional derivation method. A fiber model that couples shear and axial-bending behavior, originally developed for wall elements was modified and validated on circular cross sections (columns) before being applied to a 0.61 m diameter reinforced concrete (RC) pile with fixed head boundary conditions. The analytical response was compared to measured test results of a fixed head test pile to investigate the possible impact of pile shear deformations on the displacement, shear, and moment profiles of the pile. Results showed that shear displacements and forces are not negligible and suggest that nonlinear shear deformations for RC piles should be considered for fixed-head or similar conditions. Appropriate sensor layout is recommended to capture shear deformation when deriving p-y curves from field measurements.

Gaecheonjeol is the National Foundation day of Korea when people hold a harvest ceremony. Nowadays, two representative harvest ceremonies of Korea are performed at Mt. Mari (摩利山) and Mt. Taebaek (太白山) on Gaecheonjeol (October 3rd). We study 28 flags with constellations appearing in the ceremony of Mt. Taebaek. These flags are lying in the outer of the circular stone wall during the ceremony. They represent an oriental heavenly star chart. We examine the shape, the connecting-pattern, the name, and the number of constellations drawn in the flags, and find several errors, such as, a wrong position, a typo of name, an irregular size, an omission, and so forth. Traditionally, the 28 oriental constellations are usually divided into four groups and each group has its own colour for each direction: Blue (E), Black (N), White (W), and Red (S). For the constellation flags in Mt. Taebaek, the colour of the flags is painted based on geographical directions, but the constellations are arranged followed by the direction of the celestial sphere. Thus, constellations in the northern and southern parts are counterchanged. Finally, we suggest some possible criteria for constellation map of the flags in this paper. CheonSangYeolChaBunYaJiDo (天象列次分野之圖) and CheonMunRyuCho (天文類抄) can be essential references for correcting constellations drawn in the flags of Mt. Taebaek.

This paper presents results for impedance (and compliance) functions and input motions of foundations in a layered half-space computed on the basis of a procedure that combines a consistent transmitting boundary with continued-fraction absorbing boundary conditions which are accurate and effective in modeling wave propagation in various unbounded domains. The effects of obliquely incident seismic waves in a layered half-space are taken into account in the formulation of the transmitting boundary. Using the numerical model, impedance (and compliance) functions and input motions of rigid circular foundations on the surface of or embedded in a homogeneous half-space are computed and compared with available published results for verification of the procedure. Extrapolation methods are proposed to improve the performance in the very-low-frequency range and for the static condition. It is concluded from the applications that accurate analysis of foundation dynamics and soil-structure interaction in a layered half-space can be carried out using the enhanced consistent transmitting boundary and the proposed extrapolations.

The use of a skirt, a vertical projection attached to the footing, is a recently developed method to increase the bearing capacity of soils and reduce foundation settlements. Most of the studies were focused on vertical skirted circular footings resting on clay while neglecting the rigidity and inclination of skirts. This study employs finite element limit analysis to investigate the bearing capacity enhancement of flexible and rigid inclined skirts in cohesionless soils. The results indicate that the bearing capacity initially improves with an increase in the skirt inclination but subsequently decreases for both flexible and rigid skirts. However, the rigid skirt exhibits more apparent optimum skirt inclination and bearing capacity enhancement than the flexible one, owing to differences in their failure mechanisms. Furthermore, the bearing capacity of the inclined skirted foundation increases with the skirt length, footing depth, and internal friction angle of the soil. In the case of rigid skirts, the bearing capacity increases linearly with skirt length, while for flexible skirts, it reaches a stable value at a certain skirt length. The efficiency of the flexible footing reduces as the footing depth and soil internal friction angle increase. Conversely, the efficiency of the rigid skirt decreases only with an increase in the depth of the footing. The paper also presents a detailed analysis of various failure patterns, highlighting the behaviour of inclined skirted footings. Additionally, nonlinear regression equations are provided to quantify and predict the bearing capacity enhancement with the inclined skirts.

The aim of this work is to analyze and predict the wave propagation behavior of the carbon nanotube reinforced composites (CNTRC) beams within the framework of various higher order shear deformation beam theory. Using the Euler-Lagrange principle, the wave equations for CNTRC beams are derived, where the determining factor is to make the determinant equal to zero. Based on the eigenvalue method, the relationship between wave number and circular frequency is obtained. Furthermore, the phase and group velocities during wave propagation are obtained as a function of wave number, and the material properties of CNTRC beams are estimated by the mixture rule. In this paper, various higher order shear beam theory including Euler beam theory, Timoshenko beam theory and other beam theories are mainly adopted to analyze the wave propagation problem of the CNTRC beams, and by this way, we conduct a comparative analysis to verify the correctness of this paper. The mathematical model provided in this paper is verified numerically by comparing it with some existing results. We further investigate the effects of different enhancement modes of CNTs, volume fraction of CNTs, spring factor and other aspects on the wave propagation behaviors of the CNTRC beams.

Machine foundations with impact loads are common powerful sources of industrial vibrations. These foundations are generally transferring vertical dynamic loads to the soil and generate ground vibrations which may harmfully affect the surrounding structures or buildings. Dynamic effects range from severe trouble of working conditions for some sensitive instruments or devices to visible structural damage. This work includes an experimental study on the behavior of dry dense sand under the action of a single impulsive load. The objective of this research is to predict the dry sand response under impact loads. Emphasis will be made on attenuation of waves induced by impact loads through the soil. The research also includes studying the effect of footing embedment, and footing area on the soil behavior and its dynamic response. Different falling masses from different heights were conducted using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) to provide the single pulse energy. The responses of different soils were evaluated at different locations (vertically below the impact plate and horizontally away from it). These responses include; displacements, velocities, and accelerations that are developed due to the impact acting at top and different depths within the soil using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) and accelerometers (ARH-500A Waterproof, and Low capacity Acceleration Transducer) that are embedded in the soil in addition to soil pressure gauges. It was concluded that increasing the footing embedment depth results in increase in the amplitude of the force-time history by about 10-30% due to increase in the degree of confinement. This is accompanied by a decrease in the displacement response of the soil by about 40-50% due to increase in the overburden pressure when the embedment depth increased which leads to increasing the stiffness of sandy soil. There is also increase in the natural frequency of the soil-foundation system by about 20-45%. For surface foundation, the foundation is free to oscillate in vertical, horizontal and rocking modes. But, when embedding a footing, the surrounding soil restricts oscillation due to confinement which leads to increasing the natural frequency. Moreover, the soil density increases with depth because of compaction, which makes the soil behave as a solid medium. Increasing the footing embedment depth results in an increase in the damping ratio by about 50-150% due to the increase of soil density as D/B increases, hence the soil tends to behave as a solid medium which activates both viscous and strain damping.

고장력 볼트를 적용한 원형단면 콘크리트 충전 강재 기둥-기초 연결부의 합리적인 설계범위를 제안하기 위하여 축하중과 수평하중을 동시에 받는 기둥-기초 연결부의 전반적인 구조적 거동과 설계변수에 따른 거동특성을 상용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 해석적으로 검토하였다. 이를 위해 앵커볼트를 고장력 볼트로 대신하는 선행연구의 실험을 토대로 수치해석을 실시하였으며, 해석방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 현행 설계기준을 분석하여 기둥-기초 연결부 거동에 영향을 미치는 설계변수(앵커의 묻힘깊이, 앵커의 강종, 리브의 높이, 리브의 두께)를 선정하였으며, 설계변수에 따른 기둥-기초 연결부의 거동특성을 비교 분석하였다. 일반 앵커에 비해 고장력 볼트를 적용하는 것이 기둥-기초 연결부의 거동에 유리한 것으로 나타났으며, 고장력 볼트의 최소 묻힘깊이는 기둥 직경(D)을 기준으로 0.5D이상으로 설계하는 것이 합리적이라고 판단된다. 리브의 높이는 0.5D이상, 리브의 두께는 베이스플레이트 두께($t_b$)를 기준으로 $0.4t_b$이상으로 설계하는 것이 합리적이라고 판단된다.

별을 관측하는 천문대로 잘 알려진 경주 첨성대는 그 모양과 성격이 독특하고 원래의 모습으로 잘 보존되어 있어 역사적·학술적·예술적 가치가 높은 문화재이다. 그동안 많은 연구자들이 첨성대의 외부 구조와 지반 안전성, 지진 재해 위험도 평가 연구 등 과학적인 조사를 이용한 첨성대의 평가를 진행해왔으나 첨성대의 지하 구조에 대해서는 조사가 매우 미흡하였다. 이 논문에서는 첨성대와 관련한 주변의 매장문화재 존재 여부와 첨성대의 기초부를 확인하기 위하여 지하투과레이더(GPR) 탐사를 수행하고 2차원과 3차원 영상을 통해 첨성대의 지하 구조를 정밀 분석하였다. 그 결과, 0.4~0.6m 깊이에서는 절반 정도만 남아 있긴 하지만 12개의 작은 물체들이 원형의 배치를 이루고 있고, 0.7~1m 깊이에서는 정면 4칸, 측면 3칸의 건물지로 추정되는 반응이 첨성대를 중심으로 주변에 분포하는 것이 확인되었다. 또한 첨성대의 직하부에는 이미 알고 있는 2단의 기단부 외에 7×7m 크기의 방형 시설이 깊이 0.6m에 존재하며, 깊이 1.2~3m에서는 첨성대의 기초시설로 추정되는 반응이 확인되었다. 이 기초시설은 동서 11m, 남북 12m의 타원형이며 첨성대 기단을 중심으로 북·서·동측면은 1m 이내로 짧고 남측면은 5m 정도로 넓게 분포하고 있다.

해상(또는 수상) 구조물 시공수요가 증가됨에 따라 해양구조물 시공을 용이하게 하는 임시구조물 수요가 증가하고 있다. 가물막이(cofferdam)는 임시구조물로 해상 작업 시 외부로부터 물을 막아 육상과 동일한 작업환경을 제공한다. 하지만, 물 유입을 차단하기 위한 별도의 시공공정이 필요하기 때문에 공사지연과 건설비 증가의 주원인이 되고 있다. 최근 재래식 가물막이의 문제점을 해결하고 경제성을 높이기 위해 석션압(suction pressure)을 이용해 신속하고 경제적으로 시공이 가능한 대구경 원형강관 가물막이 공법이 제안되었다. 본 공법은 원형강관 가물막이 상부가 수면위로 노출된 상태에서 석션압을 이용해 해저면에 관입되고, 시공 후 내부의 물을 외부로 배출하여 강관자체를 가물막이로 활용한다. 본 연구에서는 원형강관 가물막이 공법을 검증하기 위해 직경 5m인 원형강관 가물막이를 제작하고 새만금 지역에서 실증실험을 실시하였다. 실험 중 원형 강관에 작용하는 석션압, 연결부 누수유무, 수직도(경사도), 구조체의 변형을 각각 계측하였으며 실험결과를 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 석션압을 이용한 원형강관 가물막이 공법을 검증하였으며, 석션 설치공법이 다양한 해양 구조물 시공에 활용 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
