A method for estimating the floor response spectra (FRS) of elastic structures under earthquake excitations is proposed. The method is established based on a previously proposed direct estimation method for single degree of freedom systems, which generally overestimates the FRS of a structure, particularly in the resonance period range. A modification factor is introduced to modify the original method; the modification factor is expressed as a function of the period ratio and is determined through regression analysis on time history analysis results. Both real and artificial ground motions are considered in the analysis, and it is found that the modification factors obtained from the real and artificial ground motions are significantly different. This suggests that the effect of ground motion should be considered in the estimation of FRS. The modified FRS estimation method is further applied to a 10-story building structure, and it is verified that the proposed method can lead to a good estimation of FRS of multi-story buildings.

According to several seismic design standards, a ground motion time history should be selected similar to the design response spectrum, or a ground motion time history should be modified by matching procedure to the design response spectrum through the time-domain method. For the response spectrum matching procedure, appropriate seed ground motions need to be selected to maintain recorded earthquake accelerogram characteristics. However, there are no specific criteria for selecting the seed ground motions for applying this methodology. In this study, the characteristics of ground motion time histories between seed motions and spectral matched motions were compared. Intensity measures used in the design were compared, and their change by spectral matching procedure was quantified. In addition, the seed ground motion sets were determined according to the response spectrum shape, and these sets analyzed the response of nonlinear and equivalent linear single degrees of freedom systems to present the seed motion selection conditions for spectral matching. As a result, several considerations for applying the time domain spectral matching method were presented.

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used as a rapid and non-destructive method to determine the protein content in intact and ground seeds of pea (Pisum sativum L.) germplasms grown in Korea. A total of 115 samples were scanned in the reflectance mode of a scanning monochromator at intact seed and flour condition, and the reference values for the protein content was measured by auto-Kjeldahl system. In the developed ground and intact NIRS equations for analysis of protein, the most accurate equation were obtained at 2, 8, 6, 1 math treatment conditions with standard normal variate and detrend scatter correction method and entire spectrum (400-2,500 nm) by using modified partial least squares regression (n=78). External validation (n=34) of these NIRS equations showed significant correlation between reference values and NIRS estimated values based on the standard error of prediction (SEP), $R^2$, and the ratio of standard deviation of reference data to SEP. Therefore, these ground and intact NIRS equations can be applicable and reliable for determination of protein content in pea seeds, and non-destructive NIRS method could be used as a mass analysis technique for selection of high protein pea in breeding program and for quality control in food industry.

Geothermal heat pump(GHP) systems have been shown to be an environmentally-friendly, efficient alternative to traditional cooling and heating systems in both residential and commercial applications. Although some experimental work related to performance evaluation of GHP systems with vertical borehole ground heat exchangers for commercial buildings has been done, relatively little has been reported on the performance simulation of these systems. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cooling and heating performance of the GHP system with 30 borehole ground heat exchangers applied to an commercial building($1,210m^2$) in Seoul. For this purpose, a typical design procedure was involved with a combination of design parameters such as building loads, heat pump capacity, circulating pump, borehole diameter, and ground effective thermal properties, etc. The cooling and heating performance prediction of the system was conducted with different prediction methods and then each result is compared.

This article presents a new design of earthquake instrumentation that is suitable for quick decision-making after the seismic event at the nuclear power plant (NPP). The main objective of this work is to ensure more availability of the NPP by expediting walk-down period when the seismic wave is incident. In general, the decision-making to restart the NPP after the seismic event requires more than 1 month if an earthquake exceeds operating basis earthquake level. It affects to the plant availability significantly. Unnecessary shutdown can be skipped through quick assessments of operating basis earthquake, safe shutdown earthquake events, and damage status to structure, system, and components. Multidecision parameters such as cumulative absolute velocity, peak ground acceleration, Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, floor response spectrum, and cumulative fatigue are discussed. The implementation scope on the field-programmable gate array platform of this work is limited to cumulative absolute velocity, peak ground acceleration, and Modified Mercalli Intensity. It can ensure better availability of the plant through integrated decision-making process by automatic assessment of NPP structure, system, and components.

불확실한 지반의 상태는 항상 터널 건설에 있어서 많은 문제점을 일으킨다. 그러므로 새로운 터널의 건설에 앞서 위험에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 이 논문은 수정된 안정계수를 이용한 간편 위험도 평가 시스템인 URI(Underground Risk Index)를 제안하였다. URI의 평가요소들은 각 요소의 등급에 따라 점수화하여 분석함으로서 설계단계에서 위험 가능성에 대한 평가에 이용이 가능하도록 하였으며, 기존의 Interaction Matrix에서 8개의 설계 요소 중(RQD, 일축압축강도, 풍화도, 안정계수, 토피고, 지하수위, RMR, 투수계수)안정계수 산정방법을 수정하여 보다 신뢰성을 높였다. 또한 현장적용에 대한 신뢰성을 검증하기위하여 URI 시스템을 실제현장에 적용하였다.

본 연구는 고로슬래그 미분말 및 SBR 라텍스를 혼입한 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르의 강도성상에 미치는 고로슬래그 치환율 및 폴리머-결합재비의 영향에 대해 검토하였다. 그 결과, 고로슬래그 미분말을 혼입한 오토클래이브 양생 폴리머 시멘트 콘크리트의 압축 및 인장강도는 고로슬래그 치환율이 증가함에 따라 증가하였고, 고로슬래그 치환율 40%에서 최대치에 달하였다. 고로 슬래그 미분말을 혼입한 오토클래이브 양생 폴리머 시멘트 콘크리트의 압축 및 인장강도는 폴리머-결합재 비의 증가에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 특히, 고로슬래그 치환율 40%의 오토클래이브 양생 SBR 혼입 폴리머 시멘트 콘크리트는 고로슬래그 미분말 및 SBR 미혼입 폴리머 시멘트 콘크리트보다 약 3배 이상의 높은 인장강도를 나타냈다. 이같이 높은 강도 개선은 SBR 라텍스의 혼입에 의해 시멘트 수화물과 골재간의 접착력이 개선되기 때문이라 판단된다.

For areas such as the Korean Peninsula, which have moderate seismic activity but no available records of strong ground motion, synthetic seismograms can be used to evaluate ground motion without waiting for a strong earthquake. Such seismograms represent the estimated ground motions expected from a set of possible earthquake scenarios. Local site effects are especially important in assessing the seismic hazard and possible ground motion scenarios for a specific fault. The earthquake source and rupture dynamics can be described as a two-step process of rupture initiation and front propagation controlled by a frictional sliding mechanism. The seismic wavefield propagates through heterogeneous geological media and finally undergoes near-surface modulations such as amplification or deamplification. This is a complex system in which various scales of physical phenomena are integrated. A unified approach incorporates multi-scale problems of dynamic rupture, radiated wave propagation, and site effects into an all-in-one model using a three-dimensional, fourth-order, staggered-grid, finite-difference method. The method explains strong ground motions as products of complex systems that can be modified according to a variety of fine-scale rupture scenarios and friction models. A series of such deterministic earthquake scenarios can shed light on the kind of damage that would result and where it would be located.

터널의 주변지반을 보강할 경우 지반의 강도정수는 변화한다. 그러므로 보강된 터널주변지반의 지보, 보조 및 보강, 굴착설계 시 보강된 주변지반의 강도기준에 대하여 고려하여야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 터널의 주변지반을 보강할 경우 터널주변지반의 복합거동에 대한 연구로써 간편 터널 지보/보강 설계법과 보강된 주변지반의 강도정수변화에 대하여 이론적 및 실험적으로 연구하였으며, 또한 터널주변 강도정수 변화 결과에 따른 복합항복함수에 대해서도 제시하였다. 연구결과, 록볼트의 경우에는 터널주변지반의 내부마찰각의 증가보다는 점착력의 증가에 많은 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
