Application of geothermal energy in buildings has been gaining popularity as it provides the benefits of both heating and cooling a building. Among the various types of geothermal energy systems, ground-coupled heat pump system is the most commonly applied one in South Korea. A ground heat exchanger plays an important role as a heat source in winter and a heat sink in summer. For the stable operation of a ground-coupled heat pump system, a ground heat exchanger should be sized so that it provides sufficient heating and cooling energy. Heating and cooling energies generated in ground heat exchangers mainly depend on the temperature difference between the heating medium in ground heat exchangers and the surrounding ground. In addition, the performance of ground heat exchangers influences the change in ground temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to consider this interrelation between the change in the ground temperature and the performance of ground heat exchanger for an accurate estimation of its performance. However, previous thermal analysis models for ground heat exchangers are not competent enough to allow a complete understanding of this interrelation. Therefore, this study proposes a three-dimensional equivalent, transient ground heat exchanger analysis model. First, a previous thermal analysis model for ground heat exchangers, including an analytical model, a g-function, and a numerical model are analyzed. Next, to overcome the limitations of the previous models, a three-dimensional equivalent, transient ground heat exchanger model is proposed. Finally, this study validated the proposed model with the measurement data of the thermal response test, sandbox test, and TRNSYS DST model. All validation results showed a good agreement. These findings helped us to investigate the thermal performance of ground heat exchangers more accurately than the analytical models, and faster than the numerical models. Furthermore, the proposed model contributes to the design of ground heat exchangers by considering the different operation conditions of buildings.

In case of an urban tunnel, the displacement of ground base controls the tunnel design because it is built on shallow and unconsolidated ground many times. There are more insufficiency to describe the ground movement which coincides in the measured result of the situ because the design of an urban tunnel is dependent on the method of numerical analysis used to the existing elastic and elasto-plastic models. We studied about the prediction for the ground movement of a shallow tunnel in unconsolidated ground, mechanism of collapse, and settlement. Also this paper shows comparison with the existing elastic and elasto-plastic model using the unlinear analysis of the strain-softening model. We can model the real ground movement as the increasement of ground surface inclination or occurrence of shear band by using strain-softening model for the result of ground movement of an urban NATM tunnel.

In this paper, roll behavior of three planar half car models are compared. The first model is a simple model whose contact point between a wheel and the ground is assumed to be fixed with a revolute joint. The second model is a modified model of the fIrst model, whose wheel tread width can vary. In this model, the instant center of a wheel with respect to the ground, which is crucial to find the roll center, is assumed to be at the contact point of a wheel and the ground. The last model uses the pole of a wheel with respect to the ground for small displacement as the instant center of a wheel with respect to the ground. Loci of the center of gravity point, the fixed and the moving centrodes which are traces of roll center position in the ground and the body frame respectively, wheel contact points, and instant centers of a wheel with respect to the ground are calculated.

The stochastic point-source model has been widely used in generating artificial ground motions, which can be used to develop a ground motion prediction equation and to evaluate the seismic risk of structures. This model mainly consists of three different functions representing source, path, and site effects. The path effect is used to emulate decay in ground motion in accordance with distance from the source. In the stochastic point-source model, the path attenuation effect is taken into account by using the geometrical attenuation effect and the inelastic attenuation effect. The aim of this study is to develop accurate equations of ground motion attenuation in the Korean peninsula. In this study, attenuation was estimated and validated by using a stochastic point source model and observed ground motion recordings for the Korean peninsula.

NATM터널의 콘크리트 라이닝에 작용하는 지반하중을 산정하는 방법으로 수치해석적 기법인 지반-라이닝 상호작용모델(Ground-Lining Interaction Model, GLI 모델)에 의한 지반하중 산정방법이 제안되었다. 그러나, 기존의 GLI 모델은 지반과 지보재 또는 콘크리트 라이닝 사이에 존재하는 계면(Interface)의 구조적 역할을 반영하지 못하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 GLI 모델에 계면요소를 반영하여 보다 실제에 가까운 모델로 구현하였다. 그리고, 지반조건 및 토피별 지반하중을 수치해석을 통해 산정하고 기존의 GLI모델 지반하중 상관식을 수정하여 제안하였다. 연구결과, 기존 모델에 비해 계면요소 반영시 지반하중은 토피두께에 따라 IV등급 지반조건에서는 평균 88~106%, 풍화토 지반조건에서는 평균 47~57% 수준으로 감소하였다. 본 연구결과로 콘크리트 라이닝에 작용하는 지반하중을 실제에 가까운 모델로 산정할 수 있으며, 상관식을 이용하여 일관되고 경제적인 설계가 가능하게 될 것으로 예상된다.

Accurate prediction of mixed ground conditions ahead of a tunnel face is of vital importance for safe excavation using tunnel boring machines (TBMs). Previous studies have primarily focused on electrical resistivity surveys from the ground surface for geotechnical investigation. In this study, an FE (finite element) numerical model was developed to simulate electrical resistivity surveys for the prediction of risky mixed ground conditions in front of a tunnel face. The proposed FE model is validated by comparing with the apparent electrical resistivity values obtained from the analytical solution corresponding to a vertical fault on the ground surface (i.e., a simplified model). A series of parametric studies was performed with the FE model to analyze the effect of geological and sensor geometric conditions on the electrical resistivity survey. The parametric study revealed that the interface slope between two different ground formations affects the electrical resistivity measurements during TBM excavation. In addition, a large difference in electrical resistivity between two different ground formations represented the dramatic effect of the mixed ground conditions on the electrical resistivity values. The parametric studies of the electrode array showed that the proper selection of the electrode spacing and the location of the electrode array on the tunnel face of TBM is very important. Thus, it is concluded that the developed FE numerical model can successfully predict the presence of a mixed ground zone, which enables optimal management of potential risks.

This thesis is results of centrifuge model experiments to investigate the behavior of replacement method in dredged and reclaimed ground. For experimental works, centrifuge model tests were carried out to investigate the behavior of replacement method in soft clay ground. Basic soil property tests were performed to find mechanical properties of clay soil sampled from the southern coast of Korea which was used for ground material in the centrifuge model tests. Reconstituted clay ground of model was prepared by applying preconsolidation pressure in 1g condition with specially built model container. Centrifuge model tests were carried out under the artificially accelerated gravitational level of 50g. Replacing material of leads having a certain degree of angularity was used and placed until the settlement of embankment of replacing material was reached to the equilibrium state. Vertical displacement of replacing material was monitored during tests. Depth and shape of replacement, especially the slope of penetrated replacing material and water contents of clay ground were measured after finishing tests. Model tests of investigating the stability of embankment after backfilling were also performed to simulate the behavior of the dike treated with replacement and backfilled with sandy material. As a result of centrifuge model test, the behavior of replacement, the mechanism of the replacing material being penetrated into clay ground and depth of replacement were evaluated.

도심지에는 많은 지중 매설관이 설치되어 있으며, 이러한 지중 관로의 위치(깊이, 방향 등)은 굴착을 수행하기 전에 특정되어야 한다. 지중 매설관을 탐지하기 위해 다양한 지구물리학적인 방법을 사용할 수 있으나, 지반의 불균질성으로 인해 정확한 위치정보를 파악하는 것은 어렵다. 다양한 비파괴 탐사 방법 중 GPR (ground penetrating radar)는 고속으로 실험이 가능하며, 다른 탐사 방법에 비해 상대적으로 저렴한 탐사비용 등의 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 GPR의 탐사 데이터는 해석이 직관적이지 않아 상당한 전문적 지식이 요구된다. 최근 딥러닝을 이용한 탐사 데이터의 자동판독 기술에 대한 연구가 증가하고 있으나, 매설물의 위치를 정확히 알고 있는 탐사 데이터가 부족하여 학습모델 구축에 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 FDTD (finite difference time domain)수치해석을 통해 해결하고 자동탐지 학습 모델의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 첫째, 단일유전율로 구성된 균질지반을 구성하고 해석을 수행하였다. 불균질 지반의 경우 프랙탈 기법을 이용하여 모델을 구성하고 해석을 수행하였다. 둘째, 합성곱 신경망을 이용하여 딥러닝 학습을 수행하였다. Model-A는 균질 지반 해석 데이터만 이용하여 학습을 수행하였으며, Model-B는 균질 및 불균질 지반 해석 데이터를 이용하여 학습을 수행하였다. 그 결과 Model-B가 Model-A보다 탐지성능이 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 이는 자동탐지 모델의 학습 시, 지반의 불균질성을 포함하여 학습을 수행하면 탐지 모델의 성능이 개선됨을 의미한다.

본 연구에서는 국내 지반굴착에 의한 지반거동 수치해석 평가 시 주로 사용되고 있는 Mohr-Coulomb 모델의 한계점을 분석하고, 실제 지반굴착 거동에 잘 부합되는 Hyperbolic 모델과 수치해석 결과를 비교하였다. 최근 국내에서 Mohr-Coulomb 모델 사용 시 지반굴착면이 실제보다 과다하게 융기되는 현상을 제어하기 위해서 특별한 경계조건을 임의대로 부과해서 해결하는 경향이 있다. 이러한 결과는 굴착면의 융기량의 크기만 제어할 뿐 지반거동이 실제와 왜곡되어 나타나는 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구에서 Hyperbolic 모델(Hardening Soil model)을 사용한 결과와 Mohr-Coulomb 모델을 사용한 결과를 비교하여, Hyperbolic 모델이 굴착 지반 융기량 및 실제 지반의 응력-변형거동에 더 잘 부합됨을 확인하였다. 지반굴착에 관한 수치해석 분석 시 Hyperbolic 모델을 사용하는 것이 실제 지반거동에 부합되는 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper investigates the effects of sports ground materials on the transfer characteristics of the landing impact force using a coupled foot-shoe-ground interaction model. The impact force resulting from the collision between the sports shoe and the ground is partially dissipated, but the remaining portion transfers to the human body via the lower extremity. However, since the landing impact force is strongly influenced by the sports ground material we consider four different sports grounds, asphalt, urethane, clay and wood. We use a fully coupled 3-D foot-shoe-ground interaction model and we construct the multi-layered composite ground models. Through the numerical simulation, the landing impact characteristics such as the ground reaction force (GRF), the acceleration transfer and the frequency response characteristics are investigated for four different sports grounds. It was found that the risk of injury, associated with the landing impact, was reduced as the ground material changes from asphalt to wood, from the fact that both the peak vertical acceleration and the central frequency monotonically decrease from asphalt to wood. As well, it was found that most of the impact acceleration and frequency was dissipated at the heel, then not much changed from the ankle to the knee.
