Elevated water tanks are inverted pendulum type structures where drift limit is an important criterion for seismic design and performance evaluation. Explicit drift criteria for elevated water tanks are not available in the literature. In this study, probabilistic approach is used to determine maximum drift limit for damage state of yielding and damage state of collapse for the elevated water tanks supported on RC frame staging. The two damage states are defined using results of incremental dynamic analysis wherein a total of 2160 nonlinear time history analyses are performed using twelve artificial spectrum compatible ground motions. Analytical fragility curves are developed using two-parameter lognormal distribution. The maximum allowable drifts corresponding to yield and collapse level requirements are estimated for different tank capacities. Finally, a single fragility curve is developed which provides maximum drift values for the different probability of damage. Further, for rational consideration of the uncertainties in design, three confidence levels are selected and corresponding drift limits for damage states of yielding and collapse are proposed. These values of maximum drift can be used in performance-based seismic design for a particular damage state depending on the level of confidence.

최근 국내에서 미국과 상호항공안전협정 체결을 위한 소형 항공기가 연구 개발 중이다. 연구 대상 항공기는 경량화 하여 연료 절감을 위해 전기체 복합재료가 적용되었다. 그러나 복합재 구조는 외부의 충격 손상에 취약한 구조이다. 따라서 항공기 구조물은 충격 손상에 대한 압축 파손 강도를 고려하여 손상 허용 설계가 반드시 수행되어야 한다. 이는 복합재 구조 항공기 인증에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 항공기 복합재 구조에 적용된 두꺼운 적층판에 대한 손상 허용 연구를 수행하였다. 두꺼운 적층판의 세 가지 형태인 손상이 없는 시편, 구멍 손상 및 충격 손상이 적용된 시편의 압축 하중 하에서 손상 허용 기준이 평가되었다.

The points of this design case are the planning and excavation method of a new double-tracked railroad tunnel which is approx. 11∼22 meters apart from existing single-tracked railroad tunnel. For the optimum excavation method some needs are required in design stage, such as the reduction of noise and vibration, public resentment, damage of buildings and construction costs. Hence the estimation and application of allowable noise and vibration criterion is important. The ground coefficient (K, n) of this site is determined by field trial blasting. The excavation method is chosen to satisfy the allowable noise and vibration criterion. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of existing single-tracked railroad tunnel, the instrumentation of maintenance level is accompanied during the construction stage. As a result of this design condition, central diaphragm excavation with line drilling and pre-large hole boring blasting is applied to the area within 15 meters apart from existing tunnel. And above 15 meters apart, pre-large hole boring blasting is designed.

An active application of concrete track is being expected for the future construction of Korean railroad. For the successful concrete track construction and design in earthwork areas, the residual settlement should be reasonably estimated using the proper method. The concrete track is extremely vulnerable to the damage of residual settlement. However, at the transition areas such as bridge approach, differential settlement will likely occur due to difference of stiffness, poor drainage and poor ground treatment. The maintenance is very difficult for excessive settlement on existing line, it is need to constrain the residual settlement in step of design. In this paper, it is performed the determination of the allowable residual settlement through various study to understand the residual settlement behavior of concrete track roadbed.

The damage of important equipments for the nuclear power plant by the earthquake brings the loss of human lives and economic losses. Therefore safety-related equipment of nuclear power plant must be proved that function must be designed and structural integrity so that it can be maintained also from accident condition of various kinds. In this study, the computer room air conditioner to be delivered at the nuclear power plant applied to this qualification, try to develop an optimum model. This model ended up with good results which were under suitably allowable conditions about structurally safe earthquake.

This study analyzes structural analysis with fatigue and natural frequency on ATV knuckle. The maximum equivalent stresses are happened at the end of knuckle in case of model 1, 2 and 3. As these stresses are below the allowable stress, these models can be stable structurally. The fatigue damage possibility at model 1 becomes more than model 2 and 3. Model 2 or 3 has more durability than model 1 at fatigue. As the resonances are happened at the frequency more than 2000 Hz in case of model 1, 2 and 3, there is no resonance possibilities at real driving. Prevention against damage and durability prediction on automotive chassis parts can be effectively improved by applying this study result on knuckle and improving structural strength.

강구조물과 부재들의 지진 손상도 평가법에 새롭게 접근하기 위하여 강한 지진하중을 받는 강재 교각에 대해 수치해석을 수행하였다. 새로운 손상도 평가법에서 파괴 상태에 대한 기준은 지진하중이 재하되는 동안에 응력집중이 가장 심한 단면의 한 부분에서 누적소성변형율의 값이 90%에 이르게 되는 때를 의미한다. 단주기 특성의 지진하중에 대해서는 소성변형율의 누적에 의한 국부좌굴 파괴보다는 허용변위를 초과하는 전체좌굴에 의한 파괴가 지배적인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 장주기 특성의 지진하중에 대해서는 소성변형율이 강재교각 하부의 모서리 부분 요소에 누적되면서 누적 소성변형율에 의한 국부좌굴로 파괴되는 결과를 보였다.

To find axial and lateral responses of impact-driven H piles in embankment(SM), the H piles are instrumented with electric strain gages, dynamic load test is performed during driving, and then the damage of strain gages is checked simultaneously. Axially and laterally static load tests are performed on the same piles after one to nine days as well. Then load-settlement behavior is measured. Furthermore, to find the set-up effect in H pile, No. 4, 16, 26, and R6 piles are restriked about 1, 2, and 14 days after driving. As results, ram height and pile capacity obtained from impact driving control method become 80cm and 210.3∼242.3ton, respectively. At 15 days after driving, allowable bearing capacity by CAPWAP analysis, which 2.5 of the factor of safety is applied for ultimate bearing capacity, increases 10.8%. Ultimate bearing capacity obtained from axially static load test is 306∼338ton. This capacity is 68.5∼75.7% at yield force of pile material and is 4∼4.5 times of design load. Allowable bearing capacity using 2 of the factor of safety is 153∼169ton. Initial stiffness response of the pile is 27.5ton/mm. As the lateral load increases, the horizontal load-settlement behaves linearly to which the lateral load reaches up to 17ton. This reason is filled with sand in the cavity formed between flange and web during pile driving. As the result of reading with electric strain gages, flange material of pile is yielded at 19ton in horizontal load. Thus allowable load of this pile material is 9.5ton when the factor of safety is 2.0. Allowable lateral displacement of this pile corresponding to this load is 23∼36mm in embankment.

Curtain wall system of office buildings has recently become very common in Korea. As the multi-layer curtain glazing is exposed to outdoor environment, it is very subjected to direct environmental impact. Consequently, breakage and cracks of glazing due to heat expansion is frequently observed. This study explores various causes and aspects for destruction of multi-layer glazing. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the basis that thermal changes causes damage to the multi-layer glazing. Air temperature in air cavity within the multi-layer glazing was examined to find its effect on multi-layer glazing breakage. Analysis showed high deflection to depth ratio of 1:1.8 and that higher the aspect ratio, smaller is the deflection. Allowable pressure showed that the weakest value is for aspect ratio of 1:2.9. Sensitivity analysis by the area of the glazing showed that as area of glazing becomes higher, allowable pressure and deflection-depth ratio becomes smaller. For allowable pressure and allowable deflection-depth within air cavity, the glazing breakage occurred at least $107^{\circ}C$. The results from glazing breakage by thermal factor shows that it is hard to break the glazing with only an increase in air cavity temperature in multi-layer glazing applied in buildings.

해저 파이프라인은 해저 석유 및 천연가스 생산의 전반에 걸쳐 중요한 역할을 하나, 열악한 해양환경하에 있어 여러 가지 외부 요인에 의해 손상될 가능성이 높으며 그로 인한 피해는 막대하다. 본 논문에서는 해저 파이프라인의 안정성을 위협하는 주된 요인 중의 하나인 동적 자유경간을 해석하였으며, 해저 파이프라인 설계에 있어서 중요한 자유경간의 허용길이를 산출하였다. 자유경간의 허용길이는 와동방출의 진동수와 자유경간의 고유진동수와의 상관관계를 이용하여 산출하였고 경계조건에 따른 허용길이의 변화를 규명하였다. 자유경간 양단의 해저지반은 탄성기초로 간주하였으며, 이를 선형 및 회선 스프링으로 치환하여 경계조건을 일반화하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 여러 가시 지반조건에 대한 동석 자유경간의 정확한 허용길이를 간단하게 얻을 수 있는 무차원화 된 곡선을 구하였으며, 그 결과를 우리나라 동남해역 천연가스전에 설치예정인 해저 파이프라인에 적용하였다.
