  • 얕은기초의 회전거동은 지진 시 기초 위 상부 구조물의 지진 하중을 줄여주는 장점이 있어 새로운 기초 내진설계개념으로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장 채취한 시료를 다짐하여 조성된 풍화토 지반에서 얕은기초의 회전거동을 평가하기 위하여 동적 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 원심모형실험 모형은 풍화토 지반, 얕은기초, 단자유도 구조물로 이루어져 있으며, 지진 시 지반, 기초, 구조물의 가속도 응답과 기초의 침하 등 얕은기초 시스템의 거동을 관찰하였다. 입력 지진 하중이 클 경우 상부 구조물의 지진하중은 풍화토 지반에 놓인 기초 들뜸에 의한 회전거동으로 인해 줄어들었으며, 기초의 침하도 최대 기초폭의 0.5%이하로 작게 발현되었다. 이를 통하여 향후 추가적인 연구 및 검증을 바탕으로 국내 풍화토 지반에서 회전 거동 개념을 이용한 기초 설계 가능성을 확인하였다.

  • For the spatiotemporally aligned observation of photothrombosis induction and transient variations of in vivo brain stroke, we developed a novel photothrombosis inducing system compatible to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system using nonmagnetic stereotaxic equipment. From the spatial point of view, the system provides a more reliable level of reproducibility of the photothrombosis in each brain. From the temporal point of view, from T1- and T2-weighted in vivo MR (magnetic resonance) images, the transient variations such as incidence, location, and size of the thrombosis are measured quantitatively. In addition, the final variation is observed in the ex vivo brain by TTC (Triphenyltetrazolium chloride) staining based on histological assay and utilized for the verification of the MR images. From the experimental result of the rat brain, the proposed system shows more reliable characteristics for transient variations of brain strokes.

  • In this paper, mechanical properties of periodic foundation made of concrete and rubber are investigated by a parametric study using the finite element method (FEM). Periodic foundation is a special type of seismic isolation foundation used in civil engineering, which is inspired by the meso-scale structure of phononic crystals in solid-state physics. This type of foundation is capable of reducing the seismic wave propagating though the foundation, therefore providing additional protection for the structures. In the FEM analysis, layered periodic foundation is frequently modelled due to its simplicity in numerical modeling. However, the isolation effect of periodic foundation on nuclear power plant has not been fully discussed to the best knowledge of authors. In this work, we construct four numerical models of nuclear power plant with different foundations to investigate the seismic isolation effects of periodic foundations. The results show that the layered periodic foundation can increase the natural period of the nuclear power plant like traditional base isolation systems, which is beneficial to the structures. In addition, the seismic response of the nuclear power plant can also be effectively reduced in both vertical and horizontal directions when the frequencies of the incident waves fall into some specific frequency bandgaps of the periodic foundation. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the layered periodic foundation can reduce the amplitude of the floor response spectrum, which plays an important role in the protection of the equipment.

  • In this study, three-dimensional numerical parametric study was conducted to explore deformation mechanisms of grouped piled-raft-foundation due to lateral load in clays. Effects of load intensity, loading angle, soil stiffness, pile diameter, pile spacing and pile length on foundation deformations were explored. It is found that the smallest and largest movements of pile foundation are induced when the loading angles are 0° and 30°~60°, respectively. By increasing loading angle from 0° to 30°~60°, the resultant horizontal movements and settlements increase by up to 20.0% and 57.1%, respectively. Since connection beams can substantially increase integrity of four piled raft foundation, resultant horizontal movements, settlements and bending moments induced in the piled raft foundation decrease by up to 54.0%, 8.8% and 46.3%, respectively. By increasing soil stiffness five times, resultant horizontal movements and settlements of pile foundation decrease by up to 61.7% and 13.0%, respectively. It is indicated that effects of connection beam and soil stiffness on settlements of pile foundation are relatively small. When pile diameter is less than 1.4 m, deformations of piled raft foundation decrease substantially as a reduction in the pile diameter. Two dimensional groups are proposed to develop calculation charts of horizontal movements and settlements of pile foundation. The proposed calculation charts can directly estimate movements of piled raft foundation under arbitrary loading, ground and pile conditions.

  • 도심지 도로하부에서 발생하는 지반침하 및 싱크홀의 주요 원인은 하수관로 기초 및 관로뒤채움재의 부적절한 다짐 등이다. 이로 인해 하수관거의 이음부 파손 및 접합 불량, 관의 파손 및 균열 등 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 하수관거 기초와 관련된 받침계수 및 굴착 깊이에 따른 안전율을 평가하였다. 강성관용 기초로는 쇄석기초, 버림 콘크리트 기초, 그리고 최근 새로 개발된 현장조립식 경량플라스틱 기초를 이용하였고, 뒤채움재는 현장발생토사(사질토 및 점성토), 현장발생토사를 재활용한 유동성뒤채움 등을 적용하였다. 굴착 깊이 및 하수관 기초별 안전율을 평가하기 위하여 하중 계수 및 받침계수 등을 고려한 설계하중을 평가하였다. 받침계수는 쇄석기초 0.377, 버림 콘크리트 기초($180^{\circ}$$120^{\circ}$) 0.243 및 0.220, 경량 플라스틱 기초와 유동성 뒤채움재는 0.231로 적용하였다. 전체적으로 쇄석기초 사용 시 안전율이 작게 나왔고, 받침각 $180^{\circ}$ 버림 콘크리트 기초 사용 시 안전율이 가장 크게 나타났다. 또한, 경량 플라스틱 기초와 유동성 뒤채움재의 조합을 이용할 경우 받침각 $120^{\circ}$ 버림 콘크리트 기초보다 안전율이 크게 나타났다. 이는 새로 개발된 재활용 경량 플라스틱 기초가 강성관의 또 다른 대안 기초로 활용이 가능함을 의미한다.

  • In this study, a series of dynamic centrifuge tests were performed for a soil-foundation-structural interaction system in dry sand with various embedded depths and superstructure conditions. Sinusoidal wave, sweep wave and real earthquake were used as input motion with various input acceleration and frequencies. Based on the results, a natural period and an earthquake load for soil-structure interaction system were evaluated by comparing the free-field and foundation accelerations. The natural period of free field is longer than that of the soil-foundation-structure system. In addition, it is confirmed that the earthquake load for soil-foundation-structure system is smaller than that of free-field in short period region. In contrast, the earthquake load for soil-foundation-structure interaction system is larger than that of free-field in long period region. Therefore, the current seismic design method, applying seismic loading of free-field to foundation, could overly underestimate seismic load and cause unsafe design for long period structures, such as high-rise buildings.

  • The purpose of this study is to provide for the basic data useful to the effective production and marketing of the foundation garment befitting adult women's shapes and preferences, and thereby, help them improve their apparel life. For this purpose, 563 Korean women aged between 20-59 were sampled to survey their recognition and actual wearing condition of foundation garments and positively identify the factors affecting the practices and thereupon, determine the correlations among them by age group. The raw data of this study is processed by SPSS Win(10.1) and analyzed by using frequency, percentage, $x^2$-test, ANOVA, Duncan-test. The most of adult women were aware of their foundation size and the absolute majority of them wore brassieres, while a half of them used the girdles. The adult women had 5.7 Brassieres and 2.2 Girdles. The use of the foundation depended much on user's age or seasons. They had begun to wear Brassieres at their age of 15 on an average and Girdle around their age of 19 depending their individual needs. It has been found through this study that adult women's is actual wearing condition of foundation garments differ by age group, which may well suggest that foundation production need to consideration this age-wise practices when setting up their foundation production and marketing strategies.

  • Foundation plays a significant role in safe and efficient turbo machinery operation. Turbo machineries generate harmonic load on the foundation due to their high speed rotating motion which causes vibration in the machinery, foundation and soil beneath the foundation. The problems caused by vibration get multiplied if the soil is poor. An improperly designed machine foundation increases the vibration and reduces machinery health leading to frequent maintenance. Hence it is very important to study the soil structure interaction and effect of machine vibration on the foundation during turbo machinery operation in the design stage itself. The present work studies the effect of harmonic load due to machine operation along with earthquake loading on the frame foundation for poor soil conditions. Various alternative foundations like rafts, barrette, batter pile and combinations of barrettes with batter pile are analyzed to study the improvements in the vibration patterns. Detailed computational analysis was carried out in SAP 2000 software; the numerical model was analyzed and compared with the shaking table experiment results. The numerical results are found to be closely matching with the experimental data which confirms the accuracy of the numerical model predictions. Both shake table and SAP 2000 results reveal that combination of barrette and batter piles with raft are best suitable for poor soil conditions because it reduces the displacement at top deck, bending moment and horizontal displacement of pile and thereby making the foundation more stable under seismic loading.
