Failure of a Multi-storeyed reinforced concrete framed structure occurs when a primary vertical structural component is isolated or made fragile, due to artificial or natural hazards. Load carried by vertical component (column) is transferred to neighbouring columns in the structure, if the neighbouring column is incompetent of holding the extra load, this leads to the progressive failure of neighbouring members and finally to the failure of partial or whole structure. The collapsing system frequently seeks alternative load path in order to stay alive. One of the imperative features of collapse is that the final damage is not relative to the initial damage. In this paper, the effect on the column and beam adjacent to statically removed vertical element in terms of axial force, shear force and bending moment is investigated. Using Alternate load path method, numerical modelling of two dimensional one bay, two bay with variation in storey heights are analysed with FE model in order to obtain better understanding of failure mechanism of multi-storeyed reinforced concrete framed structure. The results indicate that the corner column is more susceptible to progressive collapse when compared to middle column, using this simplified methodology one can easily predict how the structure can be made to stay alive in case of sudden failure of any horizontal or vertical structural element before designing.

This research suggests a load balancing method for a volume rendering system which supports concurrent users. When concurrent users use a volume rendering server system, the computational resources are occupied by a particular user by turns because each process consumes the computational resources as much as possible. In this case, the previous method shows acceptable throughput but the latency is increased for each user. In this research, we suggest a method to improve the latency without performance degradation. Each process makes concessions for taking the resources according to the number of users connected to the system. And we propose a load balancing method in the dynamic situation in which the number of users can vary. Using our methods, we can improve the latency time for each user.

In general, the study of a high-rise building's behaviour when subjected to a horizontal load (wind or earthquake) is carried out through numerical modelling with finite elements method. This paper proposes a new, original approach based on the use of a multi-beams model. By redistributing bending and axial stiffness of horizontal elements (beams and slabs) along vertical elements, it becomes possible to produce a system of differential equations able to represent the structural behaviour of the whole building. In this paper this approach is applied to the study of bending behaviour in a 37-storey building (Torre Pontina, Latina, Italy) with a regular reinforced concrete structure. The load considered is the wind, estimated in accordance with Italian national technical rules and regulations. To simplify the explanation of the approach, the wind load was considered uniform on the height of building with a value equal to the average value of the wind load distribution. The system of differential equations' is assessed numerically, using Matlab, and compared with the obtainable solution from a finite elements model along with the obtainable solutions via classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The comparison carried out demonstrates, in the case study examined, an excellent approximation of structural behaviour.

This paper presents a buck-boost converter-based bipolar pulse generator, which is able to generate bipolar exponential pulses across a resistive load. The concept of the proposed approach depends on operating the involved buck-boost converters in discontinuous current conduction mode with high-voltage gain and enhanced efficiency. A full design of the pulse generator and its passive components is presented to ensure generating the pulses with the desired specifications (rise time, pulse width, and pulse magnitude) for a given load resistance and input dc voltage. In case of moderate pulsed output voltages (i.e. few of kV), one module of the presented bipolar generator can be employed. While in case of high-voltage pulsed output, multi-module version can be employed, where each module is fed from an isolated dc source and their outputs are connected in series. Simulation models for the proposed approach are built to elucidate their performance in case of one-module as well as multi-module based generator. Finally, a scaled-down prototype for one-module of buck-boost converter-based bipolar pulse generator is implemented to validate the proposed concept.

현재 다중링크 연결을 지원하는 가상사설망(VPN: Virtual Private Network) 장비들은 연결된 다중링크를 회선 장애 발생 시 회선간의 전이 기능을 위한 것으로만 활용한다. 전이 방식으로 장애가 발생할 경우를 대비하는 것은 하나의 회선을 이용하지 못하는 것을 의미한다. 물리적인 VPN회선은 두 개지만 실제 사용은 하나만 하게 되는 것이다. 이에 따라 데이터 전송량이 많은 경우에는 전송 속도가 결과적으로 늦어지게 되고, 나아가 응용들의 요구 조건을 모두 수용할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 다중링크를 모두 이용하는 가상사설망을 형성하고, 회선간의 부하균등을 기함으로써 회선의 활용도를 크게 높여 결과적으로 가상사설망의 대역폭을 높이는 효과를 얻을 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 뿐만 아니라 회선 장애가 발생하였을 때는 기존의 가상사설망 장비가 시행하는 회선 전이 기술을 함께 적용하였다. 결론적으로 다중링크로 연결되어있는 가상사설망의 가용성을 유지하면서 대역폭을 크게 높이는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Recently, offshore structures for eco-friendly energy, such as wind and solar power, have been developed to address the problem of insufficient land space; in the case of energy generation, they are designed on a considerable scale. Therefore, the scalability of offshore structures is crucial. The Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) developed multi-linked floating offshore structures composed of floating bodies and connection beams for floating photovoltaic systems. Large-scale floating photovoltaic systems are mainly designed in a manner that expands through the connection between modules and demonstrates a difference in structural response with connection conditions. A fluid-structure coupled analysis was performed for the multi-linked floating offshore structures. First, the wave load acting on the multi-linked offshore floating structures was calculated through wave load analysis for various wave load conditions. The response amplitude operators (RAOs) for the motions and structural response of the unit structure were calculated by performing finite element analysis. The effects of connection conditions were analyzed through comparative studies of RAOs and the response's maximum magnitude and occurrence location. Hence, comparing the cases of a hinge connection affecting heave and pitch motions and a fixed connection, the maximum bending stress of the structure decreased by approximately 2.5 times, while the mooring tension increased by approximately 20%, confirmed to be the largest change in bending stress and mooring tension compared to fixed connection. Therefore, the change in structural response according to connection condition makes it possible to design a higher structural safety of the structural member through the hinge connection in the construction of a large-scale multi-linked floating offshore structure for large-scale photovoltaic systems in which some unit structures are connected. However, considering the tension of the mooring line increases, a safety evaluation of the mooring line must be performed.

변형률 쐐기모델은 지반의 변형과 말뚝의 복합적인 상호거동을 반영하는 효과적인 횡방향 지지력 산정방법이며, 국내에서도 근래에 들어 실무에서 그 적용성이 점차 증가하고 있다. 특히 다층지반에서의 변형률 쐐기모델은 아직까지 국내에서 검증된 바가 없어, 다층지반에서 횡방향 하중을 받는 말뚝의 거동을 변형률 쐐기모델로 이해하기 위해서는 충분한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다층 지반에서도 변형률 쐐기모델이 지반과 말뚝의 복합거동을 모사할 수 있는 유효한 모델인지 확인하기 위하여 모형실험과 수치해석기법으로 그 적용성을 확인해 보았다. 모형말뚝을 이용하여 직접 횡방향 하중을 재하시킴으로써 말뚝의 거동특성을 평가하고, 주면 마찰저항력의 크기로 지반의 변형률을 평가하여 지반의 수동쐐기를 도출하면서 지층의 강성에 따른 수동쐐기의 상태변화를 확인함으로써 다층지반에서의 적용성을 확인하였다. 아울러 수치해석 기법을 이용하여 모형실험을 검증함으로써 모형실험의 신뢰성을 검증하여 변형률 쐐기모델의 적용성을 검증하였다.

Recently maximum power demand of our country has become to be under the great in fluence of electric cooling and air conditioning demand which are sensitive to weather conditions. This paper presents the technique and algorithm to forecast the long-term maximum power demand considering the characteristics of electric power and weather variable. By introducing a weather load model for forecasting long-term maximum power demand with the recent statistic data of power demand, annual maximum power demand is separated into two parts such as the base load component, affected little by weather, and the weather sensitive load component by means of multi-regression analysis method. And we derive the growth trend regression equations of above two components and their individual coefficients, the maximum power demand of each forecasting year can be forecasted with the sum of above two components. In this case we use the coincident dry bulb temperature as the weather variable at the occurence of one-day maximum power demand. As the growth trend regression equation we choose an exponential trend curve for the base load component, and real quadratic curve for the weather sensitive load component. The validity of the forecasting technique and algorithm proposed in this paper is proved by the case study for the present Korean power system.
