Three cases of supertall connected structures are presented and each of them represents a quite style. The first case is a strong-connected structure. The coupling function of towers and connector contributes a lot to the structural stiffness and stability. Its special construction scheme had great impact on the construction quality and the structural safety, and must be accurately considered. For the second case which is a weak-connected structure, the influences of different connecting modes to the structural dynamic characteristic were explained. Then the combined bearings were proposed to achieve the design presume. In the third case which represents the multi-supported structures, the structural distinctive mechanical properties were discussed. For the structural state during construction process is quite different from that in final service condition, two construction procedures were simulated to get an optimal one. Although there are great challenges to designers, the advantages of the supertall connected buildings are obvious. Further work is needed in this area to adapt to the development of future cities.

An innovative Reduced Beam Section (RBS) connection, called Tubular Web RBS connection (TW-RBS), has been recently introduced and its performance has been numerically investigated in some earlier studies. The TW-RBS connection is a kind of accordion-web RBS connection in which part of the flat web of the beam is replaced by a steel tube at the expected region of the plastic hinge. This paper presents experimental results of three TW-RBS connections under cyclic loading. Obtained results indicated that TW-RBS reduces contribution of the beam web to the whole moment strength and creates a ductile fuse far from components of the beam-to-column connection. Besides, TW-RBS connection can increase story drift capacity up to 9% in the case of shallow beams which is much more than those stipulated by the current seismic codes. Based on the experimental results, the tubular web in the plastic hinge region improves lateral-torsional buckling stability of the beam such that only local buckling of the beam flange at the center of the reduced section was observed during the tests. In order to achieve a better understanding, behavior of all TW-RBS specimens are also numerically investigated and compared with those of experimental results.

The national geodetic reference frame of Korea was adopted in 2003, which is referenced to ITRF (International Terrestrial Reference Frame) 2000 at the epoch of January 1, 2002. For precise positioning based on the satellites, it should be thoroughly maintained to the newest global reference frame. Other than plate tectonic motion, there are significant events or changes such as earthquakes, antenna replacement, PSD (Post-Seismic Deformation), seasonal variation etc. We processed three years of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) data(60 NGII CORS stations, 51 IGS core stations) to produce daily solutions minimally constrained to ITRF. From the time series of daily solutions, the sites with unexpected discontinuity were identified to set up an event(mostly antenna replacement). The combined solution with minimum constraints was estimated along with the velocity, the offsets, and the periodic signals. The residuals show that the surrounding environment also affects the time series to a certain degree, thus it should be improved eventually. The transformation parameters to ITRF2014 were calculated with stability and consistency, which means the national geodetic reference frame is properly aligned to the global reference frame.

Inverse analysis of non-linear reinforced concrete bridge pier using recursive Gaussian filtering for in-situ condition assessment is the main theme of this work. For this purpose, minimum variance unbiased estimation using unscented sigma points is adopted here. The uniqueness of this inverse analysis lies in its approach for strain based updating of engineering demand parameters, where appropriate bound and constrained conditions are introduced to ensure numerical stability and convergence. In this analysis, seismic input is also identified, which is an added advantage for the structures having no dedicated sensors for earthquake measurement. First, the proposed strategy is tested with a simulated example whose hysteretic properties are obtained from the slow-cyclic test of a frame to investigate its efficiency and accuracy. Finally, the experimental test data of a full-scale bridge pier is used to study its in-situ condition in terms of Park & Ang damage index. Overall the study shows the ability of the augmented minimum variance unbiased estimation based recursive time-marching algorithm for non-linear system identification with the aim to estimate the engineering damage parameters that are the fundamental information necessary for any future decision making for retrofitting/rehabilitation.

This paper investigates the seismic performance of exposed RCFST column-base joints, in which the high-strength steel bars (USD 685) are set through the column and reinforced concrete foundation without any base plate and anchor bolts. Three specimens with different axial force ratios (n = 0, 0.25, and 0.5) were tested under cyclic loadings. Finite element analysis (FEA) models were validated in the basic indexes and failure mode. The hysteresis behavior of the exposed RCFST column-base joints was studied by the parametrical analysis including six parameters: width of column (D), width-thickness ratio (D/t), axial force ratio (n), shear-span ratio (L/D), steel tube strength (f_y) and concrete strength (f_c). The bending moment of the exposed RCFST column-base joint increased with D, f_y and f_c. But the D/t and L/D play a little effect on the bending capacity of the new column-base joint. Finally, the calculation formula is proposed to assess the bending moment capacities, and the accuracy and stability of the formula are verified.

Maximum shear modulus (G_max or G₀) is an important soil property useful for many engineering applications, such as the analysis of soil-structure interactions, soil stability, liquefaction evaluation, ground deformation and performance of seismic design. In the current study, bender element (BE) tests are used to evaluate the effect of the void ratio, effective confining pressure, grading characteristics (D₅₀, C_u and C_c), anisotropic consolidation and initial fabric anisotropy produced during specimen preparation on the G_max of sand-gravel mixtures. Based on the tests results, an empirical equation is proposed to predict G_max in granular soils, evaluated by the experimental data. The artificial neural network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models were also applied. Coefficient of determination (R²) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between predicted and measured values of G_max were calculated for the empirical equation, ANN and ANFIS. The results indicate that all methods accuracy is high; however, ANFIS achieves the highest accuracy amongst the presented methods.

Since atypical high-rise buildings are vulnerable to gravity loads and seismic loads, various structural systems must be applied to ensure the stability of the structure. In this study, the authors selected a 60-story twisted-shaped structure among atypical high-rise structures as an analytical model to investigate its structural behavior concerning the outrigger system. The structural analyses were performed varying the number of installed layers and the arrangement of the outrigger system, as well as the placement of the mega column, as design variables. The analysis revealed that the most effective position for the outrigger was 0.455H from the top layer, consistent with previous studies. Additionally, connecting outriggers and mega columns significantly reduced the displacement response of the model. From an economic standpoint, it is deemed efficient to connect and install outriggers and mega columns at the structure's ends.

문화유산의 안전진단에 대한 가장 중요한 전제는 비파괴에 있다. 석조문화재에 대하여서도 비파괴진단과 보존을 위한 연구는 필수적이며 주요한 기술적 핵심이다. 비파괴진단 기술로서 지구물리탐사는 석조문화재 지반의 특징을 밝히는 중요한 역할을 하는데, 그 이유는 지반의 특성을 이해하는 것이 안전진단에 필수적이기 때문이다. 탐사사례로 국보급문화재인 경주 불국사의 다보탑(높이 10.4m, 기단폭 7.4m, 하중 123.2 ton)과 석가탑(높이 10.8m, 기단폭 4.4m, 하중 82.3ton)에 대한 지구물리탐사가 이루어졌다. 현재 석탑에서는 풍화는 물론 탑의 기울임 및 지대석의 어긋남 현상들이 관찰된다. 두 탐을 구성하는 석재의 역학적 성질을 위해 초음파 속도 측정을 실시하였고 천부지하구조를 위해 탄성파, 전기비저항, 지하레이더 등의 비파괴 복합 지구물리탐사를 석탑 주변에서 수행하였다. 초음파 속도범위는 석가탑에서는 1217${\~}$4403 m/s이며, 다보탑에서는 584${\~}$5845 m/s이며 이로부터 추정한 일축강도 평균치는 각각 463 kg/$cm^2$, 409 kg/$cm^2$이다. 탄성파 속도 분포에서는 다보탑 지반이 더 큰 속도를 보여 상대적으로 석가탑 지반보다 견고함을 보여준다. 대체로 석탑지반의 전기비저항은 최대 2200 $\Omega$m이며 200 $\Omega$m내외의 외부지반보다 더 높은 값을 보인다. 복합 지구물리탐사 결과를 종합하면 다보탑지반의 형태는 팔각형(한 변은 6 m)으로 그 깊이는 약 4 m 이나, 석가탑지반은 약 8${\times}$10 m의 직사각형 형태로 깊이는 약 3 m 이다. 이는 석탑 건립 당시 약 $8ton/m^2$의 탑 하중을 견디기 위해 구축한 기초구조로 해석한다. 대체로 두 석탑의 북서쪽 부분이 주변지역보다 낮은 탄성파 속도와 낮은 비저항 값이 관찰되는데 이 부분은 연약한 지반으로 판단하며 각 석탑이 북북서쪽 방향으로 기우는 원인으로 판단한다.

모래다짐말뚝은 연약 지반에 조립질 재료로 채워진 말뚝 형태의 치환재료 시공을 통해 지반의 안정성을 확보하기 위한 목적으로 활용되는 지반개량 공법이다. 육상 및 해상의 연약지반 개량을 목적으로 꾸준히 사용되고 있는 모래다짐말뚝의 거동 특성은 지반 조건, 설치 방법 및 시공 형태에 따른 치환율 등에 의해 결정된다. 그러므로 모래다짐말뚝의 지지력 및 거동특성에 따른 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 기존의 설계 식뿐만 아니라 시공 현장의 특성 및 영향 인자 등을 고려해 종합적으로 검토되어야 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 모래다짐말뚝 시공 중 예상치 못한 말뚝의 과다 변위가 발생한 국내 현장의 호안 축조 현장조건을 바탕으로 수치해석을 수행하고, 모래다짐말뚝의 치환율에 따른 지반의 변위 특성을 기존 제안식과 비교하였다. 해석결과 모래다짐말뚝의 치환율이 증가하여도 호안 구조물의 수평변위가 교대 말뚝 변위의 기준값을 초과할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 지반 치환율에 따른 구조물의 거동 특성은 기존의 모래다짐말뚝 지지력 산정식에는 반영되지 못함을 확인하였다. 그러므로 모래다짐말뚝 시공 후에는 현장 시공성 확인을 병행하여 SCP 복합지반의 안정성을 검토해야 할 것으로 나타났다.

일반적으로 사면에 대한 조사방법은 지표지질조사를 실시하여 불연속면의 정보를 획득하는 것이 보편화 된 방법이나 제한된 영역의 정보만을 획득하게 되는 문제점을 가지게 된다. 절취사면에서 활동면 또는 활동가능한 연약한 파쇄대를 추정하는 방법으로 토모그래피, 전기비저항탐사, 탄성파 탐사와 같은 지구물리탐사 방법을 이용하나 최근에 사용된 카메라 장치를 이용하는 방법은 시추공벽의 화상을 촬영하여 직접 육안으로 확인 할 수 있는 방법으로 다른 방법들에 비해 보다 확실히 활동가능면을 찾아낼 수 있는 방법이라고 생각된다. 본 논문에서는 고속도로 현장에서 붕괴가 발생한 사면의 붕괴원인과 활동면을 추정하고 굴착이 되지 않은 대절토 사면의 활동가능성을 예측하기 위해 시추조사를 실시한 후 BIPS(Borehole Image Processing System) 장비를 도입하여 사면내의 활동가능성 예측 및 불연속면 방향에 대한 정보를 획득하여 굴착시의 사면안정 문제를 예견해 보았다. 붕괴가 발생된 사면에서는 활동가능성이 있는 점토층을 확인할 수 있었으며 굴착되지 않은 사면에서는 주절리군의 발달방향이 사면방향으로 경사져 활동가능성이 매우 클 것으로 예상되어 사면에 대한 안정대책을 제시하였다. 특히, 굴착되지 않은 절토사면은 굴착 후에 안정성을 확보하기 위한 사면경사 완화방안은 지형이 급경사를 형성하여 100m 이상의 장대면을 형성하므로 사면을 앵커로 보강하는 방안 및 절토구간을 터널로 변경하는 방안을 제안하였다.
