지반에서 겨울에 발생할 수 있는 단단한 상부층은 방진벽의 진동차단성능을 변화시킬 수 있다. 본 논문은 상부에 단단한 층이 존재하는 층진 지반(layered soil)에서 표면파의 진동전파와 강성 방진벽의 진동차단 성능에 관한 것이다. 연구는 이차원문제로, 경계요소법을 이용한 수치해석적 방법에 의해 수행되었으며, 진동원은 수직방향으로 조화가 진을 받는 줄기초이다. 검토된 지반은 세 가지로, 균질의 반무한 지반과, 단단한 상부층의 두께를 달리하는 두 개의 지반이다. 단단한 상부층을 갖는 지반에서는 굴절의 지반과 비교하여 아주 커다란 진폭의 감소가 나타났으며, 진동전파 속도의 경우, 물성치에 의해 계산으로 구해지는 진동전파 속도만큼의 크기가 나타나지 않았다. 더욱이 동결지반에서의 진폭은 비동결지반에서 보다 거리에 따라 아주 작은 값이 구해졌다.

We study seismically induced, anti-plane strain wave motion in a non-homogeneous geological region containing tunnels. Two different scenarios are considered: (a) The first models two tunnels in a finite geological region embedded within a laterally inhomogeneous, layered geological profile containing a seismic source. For this case, labelled as the first boundary-value problem (BVP 1), an efficient hybrid technique comprising the finite difference method (FDM) and the boundary element method (BEM) is developed and applied. Since the later method is based on the frequency-dependent fundamental solution of elastodynamics, the hybrid technique is defined in the frequency domain. Then, an inverse fast Fourier transformation (FFT) is used to recover time histories; (b) The second models a finite region with two tunnels, is embedded in a homogeneous half-plane, and is subjected to incident, time-harmonic SH-waves. This case, labelled as the second boundary-value problem (BVP 2), considers complex soil properties such as anisotropy, continuous inhomogeneity and poroelasticity. The computational approach is now the BEM alone, since solution of the surrounding half plane by the FDM is unnecessary. In sum, the hybrid FDM-BEM technique is able to quantify dependence of the signals that develop at the free surface to the following key parameters: seismic source properties and heterogeneous structure of the wave path (the FDM component) and near-surface geological deposits containing discontinuities in the form of tunnels (the BEM component). Finally, the hybrid technique is used for evaluating the seismic wave field that develops within a key geological cross-section of the Metro construction project in Thessaloniki, Greece, which includes the important Roman-era historical monument of Rotunda dating from the 3rd century A.D.

Response of buried flexible pipe-soil system is studied, through numerical analysis, with respect to deflection and buckling in a spatially varying soil media. In numerical modeling procedure, soil parameters are modeled as two-dimensional non-Gaussian homogeneous random field using Cholesky decomposition technique. Numerical analysis is performed using random field theory combined with finite difference numerical code FLAC 5.0 (2D). Monte Carlo simulations are performed to obtain the statistics, i.e., mean and variance of deflection and circumferential (buckling) stresses of buried flexible pipe-soil system in a spatially varying soil media. Results are compared and discussed in the light of available analytical solutions as well as conventional numerical procedures in which soil parameters are considered as uniformly constant. The statistical information obtained from Monte Carlo simulations is further utilized for the reliability analysis of buried flexible pipe-soil system with respect to deflection and buckling. The results of the reliability analysis clearly demonstrate the influence of extent of variation and spatial correlation structure of soil parameters on the performance assessment of buried flexible pipe-soil systems, which is not well captured in conventional procedures.

This Paper shows the results of a series of model tests on the behavior of single rigid Pile, which subjected to lateral load, in non-homogeneous Nak-Dong River sands, consisted of two layers, upper and lower layers. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the effect of ratio of lower layer thickness to embedded pile length ratio of soil modules of upper to lower layer (E$\sub$h1//E$\sub$h2/) and pile head constraint condition on the characteristics of lateral behavior of single pile. These effects can be quantified only by the results of model tests. As a model test result, in non-homogeneous sand, it shows that the lateral behavior depends upon the ratio of soil modules of upper to lower layer more than other factors. And, in respect of deflection, it was found that the reduction ratio of deflection by pile head fixity is the value of 0.5 and 0.6 for E$\sub$h1//E$\sub$h2/=0.18 and E$\sub$h1//E$\sub$h2/=5.56, respectively. The critical thickness of lower layer on the change of deflection is about 25 - 50% of pile embedded length. Also, in respect of maximum bending moment it was found that the reduction ratio of maximum bending moment by pile head fixity is the value of 0.55 and 0.7 for E$\sub$h1//E$\sub$h2/=0.18 and E$\sub$h1//E$\sub$h2/=5.56, respectively.

This paper presents the investigation of the stochastic responses of seismically isolated bridges subjected to spatially varying earthquake ground motions including incoherence, wave-passage and site-response effects. The incoherence effect is examined by considering Harichandran and Vanmarcke coherency model. The effect of the wave-passage is dealt with various wave velocities in the response analysis. Homogeneous firm, medium and soft soil conditions are selected for considering the site-response effect where the bridge supports are constructed. The ground motion is described by filtered white noise and applied to each support points. For seismic isolation of the bridge, single and double concave friction pendulum bearings are used. Due to presence of friction on the concave surfaces of the isolation systems, the equation of motion of is non-linear. The non-linear equation of motion is solved by using equivalent linearization technique of non-linear stochastic analyses. Solutions obtained from the stochastic analyses of non-isolated and isolated bridges to spatially varying earthquake ground motions compared with each other for the special cases of the ground motion model. It is concluded that friction pendulum systems having single and double concave surfaces have important effects on the stochastic responses of bridges to spatially varying earthquake ground motions.

The dynamic response of buried pipelines has gained considerable importance because these pipelines perform vital role in conducting energy, water, communication and transportation. After realizing the magnitude of damage, and hence, the human uncomfort and the economical losses, researchers have paid sincere attention to this problem. A number of papers have appeared in the past which discuss the different aspects of the problem. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of non-axisymmetric dynamic response of buried orthotropic cylindrical shell subjected to a moving load along the axis of the shell. The orthotropic shell has been buried in a homogeneous, isotropic and elastic medium of infinite extent. A thick shell theory including the effects of rotary inertia and shear deformation has been used. A perfect bond between the shell and the surrounding medium has been assumed. Results have been obtained for very hard (rocky), medium hard and soft soil surrounding the shell. The effects of shell orthotropy have been brought out by varying the non-dimensional orthotropic parameters over a long range. Under these conditions the shell response is studied in axisymmetric mode as well as in the flexural mode. It is observed that the shell response is significantly affected by change in orthotropic parameters and also due to change of response mode. It is observed that axial deformation is large in axisymmetric mode as compared to that in flexural mode.

지반조사에서 비파괴 조사 기술은 시추조사보다 경제적으로 비용이 덜 들고 광역에 걸친 지반정보를 제공하는 장점이 있다. 하지만 지반설계정수로서 적용하기에는 어려운 한정된 정보만을 제공하게 된다. 이를 극복하기 위해, 비파괴 조사 방법 중 하나인 전기비저항 탐사를 모형토조실험에 적용하여, 토질상태에 따른 비저항 반응과 함수비에 따른 비저항 반응을 분석하여 비저항 거동 양상에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험에 사용한 토질은 주문진 표준사, 마사토이며 각 토질의 입도 분포, 균등계수를 구하여 실험에 있어 실험재료의 균질한 상태를 유지하였다. 실험에 사용한 모형의 제원은 $160{\times}100{\times}50$ (cm)의 아크릴 재질 토조이며, 각 토질의 높이는 30 cm를 유지하였다. 5TE(함수비측정센서)센서를 7 ~ 8cm 간격으로 수직하게 꽂아 층별 함수비를 측정하였다. 모형실험 결과 주문진 표준사는 비저항 거동 양상이 함수비에 민감하게 반응하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 마사토는 함수비에 따라 비저항이 낮아진 후에도 시간경과에 따른 거동 양상에 큰 변화가 없는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한 토조 실험에 사용된 토양과 유사한 테스트 베드를 선정하여 그 반응을 비교 분석하였다. 이러한 실험을 통해 토질 상태와 함수비에 따른 다양한 비저항 거동 양상 자료를 수집하고, 비파괴 조사기술의 정확도를 향상 시켜 나간다면 지반설계정수를 산정하는데 있어 기초적인 연구가 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

세계의 많은 지역이 강우에 의한 사면파괴가 취약하다. 사면파괴의 발생 메커니즘을 파악하기 위해 지금까지 다양한 방법들이 제안되어져 왔으나 현재 사용되는 방법들은 비균질한 지반분포와 수리학적 거동이 강우로 인한 사면파괴에 미치는 효과를 고려하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 강우 시 토층의 두께에 따른 사면파괴의 발생 메커니즘을 연구하기 위하여 불투수 기반암 위에 존재하는 풍화 잔류토 사면에 대한 확률론적 사면안정 해석을 수행하였다. 불균질한 투수계수의 공간적 분포로 인한 불확실성이 강우침투에 의한 불포화 사면의 파괴에 미치는 영향을 고려하기 위하여 일차원 랜덤필드에 기초한 일련의 침투해석과 사면 안정해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 확률론적 해석법은 사면에 대한 강우의 침투 평가 시 투수계수의 공간적인 변동에 의하여 발생하는 다양한 파괴 패턴을 효과적으로 고려할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Offshore wind turbines are considered as a fundamental part to develop substantial, alternative energy sources. In this highly flexible structures, monopiles are usually used as support foundations. Since the monopiles are large diameter (3.5 to 7 m) deep foundations, they result in extremely stiff short monopiles where the slenderness (length to diameter) may range between 5 and 10. Consequently, their elastic deformation patterns under lateral loading differ from those of small diameter monopiles usually employed for supporting structures in offshore oil and gas industry. For this reason, design recommendations (API and DNV) are not appropriate for designing foundations for offshore wind turbine structures as they have been established on the basis of full-scale load tests on long, slender and flexible piles. Furthermore, as these facilities are very sensitive to rotations and dynamic changes in the soil-pile system, the accurate prediction of monopile head displacement and rotation constitutes a design criterion of paramount importance. In this paper, the Fourier Series Aided Finite Element Method (FSAFEM) is employed for the determination of static impedance functions of monopiles for OWT subjected to horizontal force and/or to an overturning moment, where a non-homogeneous soil profile has been considered. On the basis of an extensive parametric study, and in order to address the problem of head stiffness of short monopiles, approximate analytical formulae are obtained for lateral stiffness $K_L$, rotational stiffness $K_R$ and cross coupling stiffness $K_{LR}$ for both rough and smooth interfaces. Theses expressions which depend only on the values of the monopile slenderness $L/D_p$ rather than the relative soil/monopile rigidity $E_p/E_s$ usually found in the offshore platforms designing codes (DNV code for example) have been incorporated in the expressions of the OWT natural frequency of four wind farm sites. Excellent agreement has been found between the computed and the measured natural frequencies.
