최근 기상이변에 의해 대형 태풍과 집중 호우가 발생하게 되었고, 이로 인한 이상 홍수로 인해 제방 붕괴를 일으켜 인근지역에 직접적인 큰 재산피해와 인명피해를 가져오게 되는 일이 적지 않다. 본 논문에서는 하천제방 단면의 주요 특성치인 제방 둑마루 폭, 비탈면 경사도, 제방 높이의 변화에 따른 수치해석을 실시하였고, 유출부 동수경사를 분석하여 제방에 대한 안정성 검토를 실시하였다. 그 결과 비탈면 경사의 확대가 둑 마루폭 증가보다 유출부 영역에서의 동수경사 감소 효과를 더 크게 나타나는 것으로 평가되었다. 즉, 하천 제방 설계 및 보강 시 비탈면 경사의 확대가 둑 마루폭 증가보다 더 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

Interaction of lateral loading, combined with axial force needs to be determined with care in reinforced concrete (RC) one-dimensional structural members (1D SMs) such as beam-columns (BCs) and columns. RC 1D SMs under heavy axial loading are known to fail by brittle mode and small lateral displacements. In this paper, a macro element-based algorithm is proposed to analyze the RC 1D SMs under monotonic or cyclic combined loading. The 1D SMs are discretized into macro-elements (MEs) located between the critical sections and the inflection points. The critical sections are discretized into fixed rectangular finite elements (FRFE). The nonlinear behavior of confined and unconfined concretes and steel elements are considered in the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm has been validated by the results of experimental tests carried out on full-scale RC structural members. The evolution of ultimate strain at extreme compression fiber of a rectangular RC section for different orientations of lateral loading shows that the ultimate strain decreases with increasing the axial force. In the examined cases, this ultimate strain ranges from 0.0024 to 0.0038. Therefore, the 0.003 value given by ACI-318 code for ultimate strain, is not conservative and valid for the combined load cases with significant values of axial force (i.e. for the axial forces heavier than 70% of the ultimate axial force).

When excavation under existing structure is planned for a new construction project, the underpinning method is one of the most applicable construction methods. This study introduces a new modified underpinning method which is applied to construct a new subway line in Seoul Metropolitan. The new subway line was designed to pass underneath the existing subway line. Existing subway line carries about 2 million passengers daily, which is 33% of total passengers using subway in Seoul, and is the only circulation line in Seoul. Subway trains are passing 540 times through this section in a day. By applying a new underpinning method, the subway box structure of line is exposed 54m in the air supported by bearing piles. The proposed method was carefully monitored using heavy instrumentation system during construction. This study proposed and verified the application of the modified underpinning method, which can reduce construction period by 1.5 times and the construction cost by 1.2 times comparing with conventional method. The importance of considering construction sequence is investigated and verified by analyzed data non-considering construction sequence. The unexpected heaving which can bring up a dangerous situation for train running stability were measured, so this study shows that the upward movement has to be analyzed in designing process. As the use of underground space increases, the proposed method can be a good example of underground development.

Tower crane is a large construction equipment which is extremely tall for its section when it is erected, with its high slenderness ratio, and it has a heavy load by itself due to large lifting stuff to handle. In line with the construction projects in these days which increasingly tend to become higher, larger and complex, the stuff and height subject to lifting are also getting larger and higher, which has also increased the risk of disastrous accidents. A stable foundation design thus to deal with the increasing self load becomes more important. When a typhoon Maemi swept the nation in 2003, as many as 43 tower cranes fell down or collapsed, causing a severe damage to the people and the properties. Considering such fatal damages, a technical evaluation of the stability to prevent the safety accident with the tower crane must be very crucial. Tower cranes operation in domestic construction sites, in fact, have been simply dependent on personal experience and intuition of the engineers. Particularly when it comes to the foundation design, it mostly depends on manufacturer's recommendation. The study hence was intended to develop the fundamental measures for granting the objective stability, instead of following the individual's experience only. The simulation model recommended in the study is expected to make a good commitment to achieving an effective lifting work as well as preventing the safety accident.

The cable connection zone of the cable-stayed bridge transfers deal-load, live-load, and second-load to the cables on the structural joint zone of the cables and the main girders are the most critical parts in which big cable tensile forces are generated by those loads. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly check the main girder, structurally to secure the required stability. Because of the heavy tensile force of cables linked in the connection zone of the cable-stayed bridge, locally concentrated stress, as well as the dispersion of stress, occurs in the structurally contacted point of cable and main girder thus, we need to make a thorough investigation through a detailed structural analysis. Directly delivering the tensile force to the connection zone of the cable, the consequently big effect in the tensile force fluctuation caused by the live-load will make it necessary to review the fatigue strength. As the connection zone of the cable is designed to resist the tensile force of the cable, which is applied to a connecting section as a concentrated force, thick plates are used. These plates are frequently made of welded structure, thus, the investigation of the welding workability is inevitable.

Seismic qualification of the main control board(MCB) for the nuclear power plant Ulchin 5 and 6 has been performed with the guideline of ASME Section III and IEEE 344 code. As the size and weight of the MCB are too large and heavy to excite using the excitation table, finite element analysis is used in order to investigate the dynamic behaviors and structural integrity of the MCB. As the fundamental frequencies of the equipment are found to be less than 33 Hz, which is the upper frequency limit for the dynamic analysis, response spectrum analysis using ANSYS is performed in order to combine the modal stresses within the frequency limit. In order to confirm the electrical stability of the major components of the MCB. modal analysis theory has been adopted to derive the required response spectra at the component locations. As the all combined stresses obtained from the above procedures are less than the allowable stresses and no mechanical or electrical failures are found from the seismic testing, the authors can confirm the safety of the nuclear equipment MCB under the given seismic loading conditions.

A mono-static high frequency acoustic target strength analysis scheme was developed for underwater targets, based on the far-field Kirchhoff approximation. Au adaptive triangular beam method and a concept of virtual surface were adopted for considering the effect of hidden surfaces and multiple reflections of an underwater target, respectively. A test of a simple target showed that the suggested hidden surface removal scheme is valid. Then some numerical analyses, for several underwater targets, were carried out; (1) for several simple underwater targets, like sphere, square plate, cylinder, trihedral corner reflector, and (2) for a generic submarine model, The former was exactly coincident with the theoretical results including beam patterns versus azimuth angles, and the latter suggested that multiple reflections have to be considered to estimate more accurate target strength of underwater targets.

Monostatic RCS analysis of complex structures has been done with a combined method of physical and geometric optics, commonly applied to high frequency electromagnetic backscattering problems. In the analysis, the complex structure is modeled as a number of flat surfaces and the RCS of whole structure is calculated by summing RCS of each surface, which can be obtained from an analytical solution of flat surface phase integral derived from physical optics. The reflected and hidden surfaces are searched by an object precision method based on adaptive triangular beam method, which can take account for effects of multiple reflections and polarizations of electromagnetic wave. The validity of the presented RCS analysis method has been verified by comparing with exact solutions and measured data for various structures.
