The 2017 Pohang earthquake caused severe damage to low-rise piloti buildings. The damage was caused mainly by column shear failure, and some core walls were as well. The damaged piloti buildings in Pohang City could be relieved if they were designed correctly according to the standards at that time. However, the post-earthquake investigation revealed design, construction, and permission problems. To solve the problems, the Piloti Building Structure Design Guidelines that include strict specifications were published in 2018. Separately, KDS 41 17 00, the seismic design standard for buildings, was enacted in 2019 and it included the guideline contents. Therefore, at least after the publication of the guidelines, piloti buildings, designed by the standard and guidelines, can be expected to possess better seismic performance than existing piloti buildings. To confirm this, the probability of exceedance for several damage state thresholds was estimated for existing and designed piloti buildings. As a result, the probability of damage of designed piloti buildings was very low compared to existing ones. Consequently, it was confirmed that the guideline and standard adequately supplement the structural fragility of existing piloti buildings.

The strain and acoustic emission (AE) signals of Pocheon granite were measured during uniaxial compression tests to investigate microcrack formation and damage. Crack closure, initiation, and damage stresses of each sample were determined through an analysis of the crack volumetric strain and stiffness. The samples experienced four damage stages according to stress levels: stage 1 = crack closure stage; stage 2 = elastic stage; stage 3 = crack initiation stage; stage 4 = crack damage stage. At least 75% of all AE signals occurred in stages 3 and 4, and different AE parameters were detected in the four stress stages. Rise time, count, energy, and duration clearly showed a tendency to gradually increase with the damage stress stage. In particular, the rise time, energy, and duration increased by at least 95% in stage 4 as compared with stage 1. However, the maximum amplitude showed a smaller increase, and the average frequency decreased slightly at higher stages. These results indicate that as the degree of rock damage increases, the crack size grows larger. The crack types corresponding to the AE signals were determined using the relationship between RA (Rise time / Amplitude) values and average frequencies. Tension cracking was dominant in all stress stages. Shear cracking was rare in stages 1 and 2, but increased in stages 3 and 4. These results are consistent with previous studies that reported cracking begins after samples have already been damaged. Our study shows that the state of rock damage can be investigated solely through an analysis of AE parameters when rocks are under compressive stress. As such, this methodology is suitable for understanding and monitoring the stress state of bedrock.

In the worst case, a temporary ignition source (also known as transient combustibles) between two electrical panels can damage both panels. Mitigation strategies for electrical panel fires were previously developed using fire modeling and risk analysis. However, since they do not comply with deterministic fire protection requirements, it is necessary to analyze the boundary values at which combustibles may damage targets depending on various factors. In the present study, a sensitivity analysis of input variables related to the damage threshold of two electrical panels was performed for dimensionless geometry using a Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). A new methodology using a damage evaluation map was developed to assess the damage of the electrical panel. The input variables were the distance between the electrical panels, the vertical height of the fuel, the size of the fire, the wind speed and the wind direction. The heat flux was determined to increase as the vertical distance between the fuel and the panel decreased, and the largest heat flux was predicted when the vertical separation distance divided by one half flame length was 0.3-0.5. As the distance between the panels increases, the heat flux decreases according to the power law, and damage can be avoided when the distance between the fuel and the panel is twice the length of the panel. When the wind direction is east and south, to avoid damage to the electrical panel the distance must be increased by 1.5 times compared to no wind. The present scale model can be applied to any configuration where combustibles are located between two electrical panels, and can provide useful guidance for the design of redundant electrical panels.

Among all the natural disasters, earthquakes are the most destructive calamities since they cause a plenty of injuries and economic losses leaving behind a series of signs of panic. The present study highlights the moment-curvature relationships for the structural elements such as beam and column elements and Non-Linear Static Pushover Analysis of RC frame structures since it is a very simplified procedure of non-linear static analysis. The highly popular model namely Mander's model and Kent and Park model are considered and then, seismic risk evaluation of RC building has been conducted using SAP 2000 version 17 treating uncertainty in strength as a parameter. From the obtained capacity and demand curves, the performance level of the structure has been defined. The seismic fragility curves were developed for the variations in the material strength and damage state threshold are calculated. Also the comparison of experimental and analytical results has been conducted.

본 연구의 목적은 KURT 화강암 시료의 포화유무에 따른 균열손상 기준과 파괴인성의 변화를 측정하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 일축압축시험을 이용한 소성체적변형률을 통해 KURT 화강암의 균열손상 기준을 도출하였다. 또한 암석의 파괴인성을 보다 신뢰성 있게 측정하기 위해 암석의 비선형적 변형에 대한 보정(Level II Method; ISRM, 1988) 을 통해 포화유무에 따른 KURT 화강암의 수정 파괴인성(corrected fracture toughness)을 측정하였다. 시험결과 건조시료의 평균 균열개시 응력(σ_ci)과 균열손상 응력(σ_cd)은 91.1 MPa과 128.7 MPa이었으며, 포화시료의 평균 균열개시 응력(σ_ci)과 균열손상 응력(σ_cd)은 58.2 MPa과 68.2 MPa이었다. 건조시료에 비해 포화시료의 균열개시 응력은 36% 감소하였으며 균열손상 응력은 건조시료 대비 47%나 감소되는 결과를 나타내었다. 균열손상 응력(σ_cd)이 상대적으로 더욱 감소하였음을 감안할 때 시료의 포화로 인해 더 낮은 응력조건에서 구조물에 대한 손상이 쉽게 발생할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. KURT 화강암의 비선형성을 고려한 수정 파괴인성은 0.811 MPa·m^0.5이었으며 포화시료의 수정 파괴인성은 0.620 MPa·m^0.5이었다. 즉 암석의 비선형성을 고려함으로써 파괴인성의 증가를 확인할 수 있었으며, 암석의 포화시 수정 파괴인성은 24% 감소하였다. 따라서 지하수 포화로 인해 암석 내 균열의 생성과 진전에 대한 저항성이 감소함을 알 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 암석의 최대강도 이전의 각 손상단계에서 탄성정수의 변화로 나타나는 손상특성과 최대강도 후거동을 고려할 수 있는 손상모델을 실험적으로 개발하였다. 일축 및 삼축압축실험 결과를 토대로 암석의 손상기준을 결정하였고, 각 손상단계에서 탄성정수의 변화를 구속압의 함수로 최적화시켰다. 또한 최대강도 후 Hoek-Brown상수 mr과 sr을 이용하여 최대강도 후 거동을 모사하였다. 개발된 실험 손상모델을FLAC$^{2D}$의 FISH 함수로 구현하여 수치해석을 실시하였다. Hoek-Brown 최대강도 후 상수들이 해석결과에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 일축압축강도는 mr과 sr 모두에 의해 영향을 받으나 5,에 의해 더 크게 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 m,은 최대강도 후의 응력-변형률 곡선의 기울기에 큰 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 분석으로부터 얻어진 최적 손상모델을 수치해석에 적용한 결과 실험실 시험으로부터 얻어진 최대 강도와 암석의 손상에 따른 강성 변화를 잘 예측하였다.다.

This study aims to establish an effective methodology for the detection of instant damages occurred in cable-stayed bridges with the measurements of cable vibration and structural temperatures. A transfer coefficient for the daily temperature variation and another for the long-term temperature variation are firstly determined to eliminate the environmental temperature effects from the cable force variation. Several thresholds corresponding to different levels of exceedance probability are then obtained to decide four upper criteria and four lower criteria for damage detection. With these criteria, the monitoring data for three stay cables of Ai-Lan Bridge are analyzed and compared to verify the proposed damage detection methodology. The simulated results to consider various damage scenarios unambiguously indicate that the damages with cable force changes larger than ${\pm}1%$ can be confidently detected. As for the required time to detect damage, it is found that the cases with ${\pm}2%$ of cable force change can be discovered in no more than 6 hours and those with ${\pm}1.5%$ of cable force change can be identified in at most 9 hours. This methodology is also investigated for more lightly monitored cases where only the air temperature measurement is available. Under such circumstances, the damages with cable force changes larger than ${\pm}1.5%$ can be detected within 12 hours. Even though not exhaustively reflecting the environmental temperature effects on the cable force variation, both the effective temperature and the air temperature can be considered as valid indices to eliminate these effects at high and low monitoring costs.

최근 건설되는 특수교량에는 상시적인 유지관리 체계로서 계측시스템이 활발히 도입되고 있는 상황이다. 일반적으로 계측시스템을 이용한 교량 유지관리 시에는 관리기준치를 설정하여 교량의 상태를 평가하게 되지만, 관리기준치 설정 기준과 방법이 없어 설계허용값에 근거하여 단순하게 설정되고 있는 실정이다. 기존의 방법으로 설정된 관리기준치를 적용할 경우 관리기준치 범위 내에서 발생된 이벤트, 이상거동 및 점진적으로 발생하는 손상 등과 같은 교량의 상태변화를 파악하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존의 절대치 관리에 있어 관리기준치 설정의 문제점을 고찰하여 실무에 효과적으로 적용가능한 개선된 관리기준치 설정 및 운영방법을 도출하였다. 개선된 관리기준치 설정을 위해 검벨분포를 사용한 확률론적 접근방법을 도입하여 재현빈도 50년, 100년의 기댓값에 대한 교량의 주의, 경고치를 산정하였다. 본 연구에서의 관리기준치는 설계허용치 범위 내에서 발생하는 이상거동을 감지할 수 있도록 계측데이터와 계측데이터의 구간변화량에 대한 관리기준치를 각각 설정되었으며, 제안된 방법으로 산정된 관리기준치는 실측 데이터에 대입하여 비정상적인 데이터의 발생여부를 적절하게 파악할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

As the use of automatic handling equipment for sensitive semiconductor devices is rapidly increased, manufacturers of electronic components and equipments need to be more alert to the problem of electrostatic discharges(ESD). In order to analyze damage characteristics of semiconductor device damaged by ESD, this study adopts a new charged-device model(CDM), field-induced charged model(FCDM) simulator that is suitable for rapid, routine testing of semiconductor devices and provides a fast and inexpensive test that faithfully represents ESD hazards in plants. High voltage applied to the device under test is raised by the field of non-contacting electrodes in the FCDM simulator, which avoids premature device stressing and permits a faster test cycle. Discharge current and time are measured and calculated. The characteristics of electrostatic attenuation of domestic semiconductor devices are investigated to evaluate the ESD phenomena in the semiconductors. Also, the field charging mechanism, the device thresholds and failure modes are investigated and analyzed. The damaged devices obtained in the simulator are analyzed and evaluated by SEM. The results obtained in this paper can be used to prevent semiconductor devices form ESD hazards and be a foundation of research area and industry relevant to ESD phenomena.
