In this thesis the dynamic behavior of the vehicles is analyzed while the track is subjected to lateral vibration due to earthquakes. A computer program is developed which can simulate dynamic responses of vehicles subjected to earthquake loading. The analysis considers two types of two types of vehicles : I. e. a 2-axle vehicle with 13 DOF's an da power car of K-TGV with 38 DOF's It can also consider the interaction with substructures such as tracks and bridges. El Centro record is considered as earthquake loading. The creep force module developed in this study is verified and the results of this study are compared with those of others. Furthermore he running safety of high-speed railway vehicles(K-TGV) subjected to earthquake loading is studied. Based on the results of this study the running safety of the K-TGV can be confirmed against el centro earthquake.

It is common in multistory flat-plate structures that newly cast slabs are supported by a number of previously cast floors. Then the weight of newly cast slabs is imposed on shored previously cast floors as load, and this load may be large as double as dead load. Because early-age construction loads cause large immediate deflection and creep deflection with cracks, this loads influence long-term behavior of slabs. In current provision, the minimum thickness is required to satisfy serviceability But this minimum thickness based on historical precedent is determined by span length, therefore the minimum thickness of current provision can not includes properly the effect of construction scheme including the number of shored floors and construction cycle. In the present study, a minimum thickness criterion, which includes the effect of concrete strength, geometry of slabs and construction scheme, was developed from computer-based iteration using deflection calculation procedure of current code method.

This study performs the elastic and viscoelastic analysis of composite continuous beams with flexible shear connectors. Due to creep and shrinkage of the concrete part, the stress redistribution between the concrete slab and steel beam, and the evolution of the redundant restraint reaction occur with time. Using the equation of equilibrium, internal and external compatibility condition, and constitutive relationships, mathematical formulations are formulated. The solution is obtained by means of numerical step-by-step techniques and the finite difference method. Numerical parametric studies are performed to evaluate the stress redistribution, and the evolution of the redundant restraint reaction. The parameters include the stiffness and spacing of shear connectors, the age of concrete at loading, and the relative humidity.

The reinforcing effect of modified structure of PSC beams is analyzed in this study. The PSC beams are closed by precast half panels embeding PS tendons at the bottom flange of I-bear The stiffness of box structure is larger and the PS force at half panels makes a time-dependent upward camber of superstructures. The superstructure becomes a second composite structure among 3 elements-PSC ben RC slab, PSC Panel. The time-dependent creep and shrinkage effect at PSC Panels and structural behavior is verified considering construction sequences. The optimal range of to-box reinforcing method is surveyed through reliability analysis.

The purpose of this study is to estimate ultimate uplift capacity of permanent anchor which was cast into weathered rock. The ultimate uplift capacity was estimated from the load-displacement curve of four different anchors which have different bond length. The creep test was performed for 15minutes under the maximum load of each step in order to understand the load-transfer property of permanent anchor and to decide which anchor to choose. The destruction range of soil due to the changes in load was estimated by installing dial gauge on the ground which was cast into the weathered rock. Ultimately, the study on the behavior of the anchor case into the weathered rock was performed by comparing and analyzing the estimated result of the UUC obtained by the full scale pull out test in the field with the exsting theoretical and practical results of soil and rock anchor.

To investigate an in-pile behavior of the newly developed DUO fuel pellet, the irradiation test will be carried out in the domestic test reactor. Irradiation test capsule for the HANARO reactor, which is a specially designed equipment used for material, irradiation and creep test, must satisfy the operational requirement on the hydraulic characteristics and structural integrity. In this study, a pressure drop, a flow-induced vibration and a short-term endurance test for the newly developed non-instrumented test capsule were carried out using FIVPET as a out-pile evaluation test. The test results show that the new test rig satisfy the HANARO operational requirement with sufficient margin.

The U-Zr metallic alloy with low swelling HT9 cladding is the candidate for the KALIMER fuel rod. The fuel rod should be able to maintain the structural integrity during its lifetime in the reactor. In a typical metallic fuel rod, load is mainly applied by internal gas pressure, and the deformation is primarily caused by creep of the cladding. The three-dimensional FEM modelling of a fuel rod is important to predict the structural behavior in concept design stage. Using the ANSYS code, the 3-D structure analyses were performed for various configuration, element and loads. It has been shown that the present analysis model properly evaluate the structural integrity of fuel rod. The present analysis results show that the fuel rod is expected to maintain its structural integrity during normal operation.

Systematic measurements in the field are the key component in the design process to ensure that optimal and safe designs result. The instruments installed at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, a underground nuclear waste repository in U.S., for measuring rock deformation was reviewed. Also discussions about installation and measurement for better understanding the complex time-dependent deformational behavior of underground excavation were made.

PET bottles are main]y manufactured by the stretch blow-molding process. In order to improve the thickness distribution to avoid crack generation at bottom region of one-piece PET bottle, process analysis of stretch blow-molding using a finite element method has been carried out. Finite element analysis has been carried out using ABAQUS/Standard. CREEP user subroutine provided in ABAQUS has been used to model PET behavior that is rate sensitive. Among the process parameters, the effect of plunger movement to thickness distribution of bottle has been considered by axisymmetric analysis. A modified process of plunger movement, which yields more uniform thickness distribution, has been proposed. 3D FE analysis has been done to confirm the validity of the proposed process.

This paper estimates the long-term settlement of In-cheon unsanitary solid waste landfills. which is 20 years old. The unsanitary solid waste landfills was subjected to pre-loading system over a period of 1 year, and the settlement for 300 landfill monitors provided measured data. This landfill contain relatively small amount of organic component, therefore the initial stage of settlement was very small. The existing settlement models are examineed to compare with the observed behavior of this site and, also to estimate long-term settlement. The Hyperbolic, Bjarngard & Edgers, and Power Creep Law models showed good agreement well with the measured settlement of the In-cheon unsanitary solid waste landfills.
