  • This paper presents a structural performance assessment of a historical masonry clock tower both using numerical and experimental process. The numerical assessment includes developing of finite element model with considering different types of soil-structure interaction systems, identifying the numerical dynamic characteristics, finite element model updating procedure, nonlinear time-history analysis and evaluation of seismic performance level. The experimental study involves determining experimental dynamic characteristics using operational modal analysis test method. Through the numerical and experimental processes, the current structural behavior of the masonry clock tower was evaluated. The first five experimental natural frequencies were obtained within 1.479-9.991 Hz. Maximum difference between numerical and experimental natural frequencies, obtained as 20.26%, was reduced to 4.90% by means of the use of updating procedure. According to the results of the nonlinear time-history analysis, maximum displacement was calculated as 0.213 m. The maximum and minimum principal stresses were calculated as 0.20 MPa and 1.40 MPa. In terms of displacement control, the clock tower showed only controlled damage level during the applied earthquake record.

  • Since cluster analysis encompasses many diverse techniques for discovering structure within complex bodies of data, it has been employed as an effective tool in scientific inquiry. Recent works on cluster analysis softwares carried out by SAS, SPSS, S-PLUS and BMDP are briefly summarized and investigated in this paper. The inferred statistical package for windows executing a nay for data analysis in modern statistical techniques has several merits superior to other packages. Especially, S-PLUS can be designed and tried out much faster than other statistical packages. S-PLUS provides a graphic which is interactive, informative, flexible ways of looking at data. Also, if a statistical computation time is long and programs are complex, these can be shorten by providing interfaces to the UNIX systems (or C, Fortran).

  • Liquid sloshing displays the highly nonlinear free surface fluctuation when either the external excitation is of large amplitude or its frequency approaches natural sloshing frequencies. Naturally, the accurate tracking of time-varying free surface configuration becomes a key task for the reliable prediction of the sloshing time-history response. However, the numerical instability and dissipation may occur in the nonlinear sloshing analysis, particularly in the long-time beating simulation, when two simulation parameters, the relative time-increment parameter a and the fluid mesh pattern, are not elaborately chosen. This paper intends to examine the effects of these two parameters on the potential-based nonlinear finite element method introduced for the large amplitude sloshing flow.

  • In order to evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge piers, an inelastic time-dependent element is proposed. The proposed element enables increased characteristics due to structural intervention (i.e., repair and retrofitting) to be accurately reflected to the degraded strength and stiffness of the members. Comparative studies are conducted for reinforced concrete bridge columns being repaired and retrofitted and show good correlation between analytical prediction and experimental results. In addition, a nonlinear time-history analysis of a reinforced concrete bridge under multiple earthquakes confirms the applicability and effectiveness of the present development.

  • Recently it is used seismic analysis like single mode spectrum analysis, multi mode spectrum analysis and time history analysis in Korea. Because bridges are not special form of them but regular and simple form of them in our country, we must develope seismic analysis program of bridge based on single nude spectrum analysis. The program developed by this study reduces a Quantity and a time of calculation compared to SAP90 and gives accurate answers without errors. In the case of commercial program if we look for seismic load(P/sub e/(x)), we must increase the number of node and the larger the number of node the more a quantity and a time of calculation. But this program is exactly solved with basic node compared to commercial program.

  • In order to establish the methodology for estimating an emergency drinking water supply in Korea, overseas cases and accidents history of cutting off water supply were investigated, and questionnaire was conducted. Investigating accidents history of cutting off water supply in Korea, actual cutting off times of most cases were less than 13hours. Also, cases related with water quality and facility failure have been not enough to derive useful information for estimating an emergency water. From the results of questionnaire and cross-tabulation analysis, about 1,066 lpcd(liter per capita${\cdot}$day) as an emergency water and 14 days as tolerable outages time could be estimated. The results of water quality simulation could tell us that it might take 5-16 days for pollutant matter to travel from 15 contamination points to source water intake point in the selected reservoir(D-dam). This travel time was in good accordance with the estimated tolerable outage time, 14days.

  • We have analyzed the comet records in the Korean history books: Samguksagi, Goryeosa, and Joseonwangjosillok. For a comparison, the Chinese and Japanese comet records collected by Kronk (1999) have also been analyzed. Power spectrum of the time series of the comet records is used to find periodic comets. Statistically significant periodicities in the power spectrum are detected at the periods of 38-40 years, about 76 years, and 300-400 years for all Korean, Chinese, and Japanese comet records. We have also calculated the past orbits of some comets that have been recently observed, to check whether or not they were recorded in the history books. We use a multistep method to numerically integrate the comet's orbital motion backward in time to 51 B.C. The gravitational force due to the Sun and the nine planets, non-gravitational force, and the relativistic effects have been considered. Comparison of comet's perihelion passage time and the position on the sky with the historical records shows that the comet Halley were recorded at every passage in both Goryeo and Joseon periods. The orbital motion of the comet Pons-Brooks has also been compared with the Korean records. For the comet Tempel-Tuttle, Swift-Tuttle, and Ikeya-Zhang, we have compared our calculation of the orbital motions with those of the previous studies.

  • Objectives : Treatment method using drugs has already been used in Korean medicine for a long time. Moreover, database has been developed and utilized for more efficient management of the treatments that use drugs. Most of such database related to knowledge on drugs is composed of origin, efficacy, temperament, ingredients and examples of application of the standardized drugs. Communication with knowledge information in other specialized areas is also accomplished by using the efficacies and ingredients with the drugs. In this study, we aimed to make data structure of the terminologies that represent the manufacturing process of herbs. However, in spite of the fact that the manufacturing process of the drugs imparts effect on their efficacies and ingredients, details of the manufacturing processes are quite limited to simple text sentences, thereby resulting in substantially lower level of utilization and difficulties in systematic researches on various factors included in the manufacturing processes in comparison to other knowledge on drugs. Methods : This Study extracted the factors necessary in the development of database by executing morphological analysis of the manufacturing process of herbs. Results : The factors are 'Order', 'Act', 'Raw material', 'Tools', 'Supporting materials', 'Intensity', 'Duration Time', 'Interval', 'Focus', 'Repetition Number', 'Untill'. We were able to tell the difference of the manufacturing process with a simple structured query language and the factors. Conclusions : Morphological analysis of medicinal herbs manufacturing Process contributes to standardization with information of the manufacturing process. And it helps to creates a quality management system through the Database.

  • This study examined the flexural strength of CFS reinforced concrete beams with various load histories. The RC beams to be reinforced by CFS have undergone various loading histories but neglecting the loading history results in a few problems in structural safety and cost. Structural behavior of CFS-strengthened RC beams were analyzed considering the strain status of RC beams under loads at the time of CFS strengthening. Nonlinear section analysis showed that the flexural strength of CFS-strengthened RC beams depends on the load history of the RC beams. From the result of this analysis, the flexural strength of a CFS-strengthened concrete beam is affected considerably by the load history and should be considered in CFS reinforcement.
