지반 변형계수를 측정하는 방법중에서 원위치 시험법은 반력으로 대형 장비가 필요하고 많은 측정시간이 소요되므로 시험횟수가 제한되는 단점이 있다. 최근에는 이런 문제점을 보완하고 보다 신속하게 측정할 수 있는 장비들이 개발되어 적용되고 있다. 즉, Falling Weight Deflectometer(FWD), Light Drop Weight Tester(LDWT), Geogauge등이 있다. 이중에서 Light Drop Weight Tester(LDWT)는 경부 고속철도 공사에 ‘철도공사를 위한 경량 낙하 시험기’라는 명칭으로 적용된 이래로 여러 기관에 도입되어 노반의 품질관리 및 성토관리용으로 국내 조건에 맞는 기준을 정립하기 위한 연구가 진행중이다. 본 연구에서는 현장에서 지반변형계수를 쉽게 측정하는 방안을 제안하기 위해 독일 Stendal의 동적 평판 재하시험 장비(Light Drop Weight Tester(LDWT))인 ZFG 02를 이용하여 현장과 토조에서 동적변형계수를 측정하였다. 동일한 지반에서 실시한 평판재하시험 결과에 의한 정적 변형계수와의 상관성을 분석하였다.

고속도로 토공에서 대부분을 차지하는 성토부의 다짐도 평가는 일반적으로 평판재하시험에 의해 이루어진다. 평판재하시험은 전통적인 시험법으로 높은 신뢰성을 가지고 있지만, 반력장비를 공수해야 하고, 시험 시 개소당 약 40분의 시간이 소요됨에 따라 광활한 토공부 전체를 관리하기에는 한계가 발생할 수 있다. 한편, 국토해양부에서는 이를 극복하고자 2010년에 '포장 하부구조 다짐관리 잠정지침'에서 간편한 다짐도 평가방법 기준을 제시한 바 있다. 하지만 10년이 지난 지금까지 고속도로공사 현장에서는 활용하고 있지 못하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 잠정지침에서 제시한 시험법 중 충격재하 방식의 LFWD(Light Falling Weight Deflectometer)를 활용한 다짐도 평가방법에 대한 활용성을 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 현장 토질 성상 및 다짐도별로 평판재하시험 및 LFWD시험을 실시하여 상관관계를 도출하였다. 시험결과, 80% 이하의 상대 다짐도를 가진 지반에서는 시험데이타의 일관성이 없었으나, 그 이상에서 상관도가 증가하는 경향을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 충격재하 방식의 시험값의 일관성 확보를 위하여 본 연구 결과를 참고하여 시험방법 또는 시험장비를 개선한다면 토공부 다짐도 관리 사각지대를 해소하는 데에 큰 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 1차원 파동방정식을 적용한 낙추충격시험 시스템을 제작하여 CFRP 적층판의 충격흡수특성 및 충격 강도평가를 하였으며 그 결과가 유효함을 보였다. 충격흡수에너지에 대해서는 충격에너지가 대략 6.8J이상에서는 동일한 T300 섬유와 적층배향으로 구성된 직교이방성 시험편이 의사등방성(quasi-isotropic)보다 높게 나타났으나 T700 섬유의 경우에는 크게 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 동일한 T300 섬유와 적층수로 구성된 시험편이 T700섬유로 된 시험편보다 높게 나타났으나 T700 섬유의 의사등방성 시험편의 경우에는 크게 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 초음파 C-스캐너를 이용하여 내부손상영역을 관찰하여 시험편의 손상면적과 흡수에너지의 상관관계를 평가하였다. 또한 저속충격손상으로 인한 파면을 파괴메카니즘을 규명하기 위해 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다.

Track substructure(ballast, subgrade) should have sufficient strength and adequate stiffness to fully support track superstructure(rail, fastener, sleeper). Vertical support stiffness of track comes from the sufficient thickness, adequate strength and stiffness of material of substructure layers. Since the vertical support stiffness of track substructure is closely related with the track geometry, the evaluation of the stiffness is very important to understand the track states. This paper introduces the system, which are composed of Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR), Portable Ballast Sampler(PBS), and Light Falling Weight Deflectometer(LFWD), to evaluate substructure condition and summarizes the field test results performed with the reliable system.

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns which are the main vertical structural members are exposed to several static and dynamic effects such as earthquake and wind. However, impact loading that is sudden impulsive dynamic one is the most effective loading type acting on the RC columns. Impact load is a kind of impulsive dynamic load which is ignored in the design process of RC columns like other structural members. The behavior of reinforced concrete columns under impact loading is an area of research that is still not well understood; however, work in this area continues to be motivated by a broad range of applications. Examples include reinforced concrete structures designed to resist accidental loading scenarios such as falling rock impact; vehicle or ship collisions with buildings, bridges, or offshore facilities; and structures that are used in high-threat or high-hazard applications, such as military fortification structures or nuclear facilities. In this study, free weight falling test setup is developed to investigate the behavior effects on RC columns under impact loading. For this purpose, eight RC column test specimens with 1/3 scale are manufactured. While drop height and mass of the striker are constant, application point of impact loading, stirrup spacing and concrete compression strength are the experimental variables. The time-history of the impact force, the accelerations of two points and the displacement of columns were measured. The crack patterns of RC columns are also observed. In the light of experimental results, low-velocity impact behavior of RC columns were determined and interpreted. Besides, the finite element models of RC columns are generated using ABAQUS software. It is found out that proposed finite element model could be used for evaluation of dynamic responses of RC columns subjected to low-velocity impact load.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate bone mineral density(BMD) and fear of falling and falls efficacy in the middle and old aged women over 50 years. Methods: The subjects consisted of 409 women. One-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlations and multiple regression were used to test the BMD, fear of falling and falls efficacy scale by using SPSSWIN 12.0. The BMD of the calcaneus were measured with peripheral dual energy x-ray absorptiometry(DEXA). Results: The average age was 63 years old and the average T-score was -3.21 in patient with osteoporosis, -1.72 with osteopenia, and .13 with normal. There were significant differences in the status of the BMD according to age(p=.000), height(p=.000), weight(p=.000), married status(p=.000), age of menarche(p=.002), and menopause(p=.002). The fear of falling was related with falls efficacy(r=-.247, p=.01), BMD(r=-.337, p=.01). Falls efficacy($\beta$=-.21, p=.000)and BMD($\beta$=-.26, p=.000) were predicting variables of fear of falling. The model explained 13% of the variance in fear of falling(F=27.38, p=.000). Conclusion: Fear of falling and falls efficacy were related with the bone mineral density. Falls efficacy and BMD may be useful for the predicting fear of falling for women in middle and old age. Further studies with assessment of fall-related risk-factors and a longitudinal study are necessary to assess with falls efficacy, and BMD with age.

One of the major causes of concrete pavement deterioration is the loss of support due to erosion and pumping of subbase and subgrade. In this study, procedures for the detection of voids under concrete pavement slab are presented using nondestructive test method such as FWD(Falling Weight Deflectometer) and GPR(Ground Penetration Radar). The deflection responses of concrete slab obtained in FWD field test are analysed for determining the presence of void. Also, reflection responses in GPR test are interpreted. It was concluded that these procedures are available for detecting the viods under concrete pavement slab.

Quality assurance for embankment compaction is one of very important procedures to guarantee high quality construction. However, only sand replacement method (KS F2312) and static plate load test (KS F2310) which are conventional and tiresome methods are used to evaluate degree of compaction at construction fields. Recently, new types of devices such as the geogauge and the light falling weight deflectometer (LFWD), the soil impact hammer (CASPFOL) and dynamic cone penetration test etc. which are able to substitute for the conventional methods are begun to use to evaluate soil stiffness. In this study, a laboratory model test was performed to evaluate correlations among test results obtained from the new devices and to assess the potential use of them. All test results have correlations with relative density and water content. Especially, the coefficients of correlation between $E_G$ from the geogauge and $K_{30'}$ from the soil impact hammer and between $E_G$ from the geogauge and $E_{LFWD}$ from LFWD are more than 0.7 but those between the results from DCP and others are less than those between $E_{G{\cdot}}$ and $K_{30'}$ and $E_G$ and $E_{LFWD}$.

A visualization test of the fuel-coolant interaction in the Test for Real cOrium Interaction with water (TROI) test facility was carried out. To experimentally simulate the In-Vessel corium Retention (IVR)- External Reactor Vessel Cooling (ERVC) conditions, prototypic corium was released directly into the coolant water without a free fall in a gas phase before making contact with the coolant. Corium (34.39 kg) consisting of uranium oxide and zirconium oxide with a weight ratio of 8:2 was superheated, and 22.54 kg of the 34.39 kg corium was passed through water contained in a transparent interaction vessel. An image of the corium jet behavior in the coolant was taken by a high-speed camera every millisecond. Thermocouple junctions installed in the vertical direction of the coolant were cut sequentially by the falling corium jet. It was clearly observed that the visualization image of the corium jet taken during the fuel-coolant interaction corresponded with the temperature variations in the direction of the falling melt. The corium penetrated through the coolant, and the jet leading edge velocity was 2.0 m/s. Debris smaller than 1 mm was 15% of the total weight of the debris collected after a fuel-coolant interaction test, and the mass median diameter was 2.9 mm.
