In the current code design, the use of a uniform internal pressure coefficient of cooling towers as internal suction cannot reflect the 3D characteristics of flow field inside the tower body with different ventilation rate of shutters. Moreover, extreme weather such as heavy rain also has a direct impact on aerodynamic force on the internal surface and changes the turbulence effect of pulsating wind. In this study, the world's tallest cooling tower under construction, which stands 210m, is taken as the research object. The algorithm for two-way coupling between wind and rain is adopted. Simulation of wind field and raindrops is performed iteratively using continuous phase and discrete phase models, respectively, under the general principles of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Firstly, the rule of influence of 9 combinations of wind speed and rainfall intensity on the volume of wind-driven rain, additional action force of raindrops and equivalent internal pressure coefficient of the tower body is analyzed. The combination of wind velocity and rainfall intensity that is most unfavorable to the cooling tower in terms of distribution of internal pressure coefficient is identified. On this basis, the wind/rain loads, distribution of aerodynamic force and working mechanism of internal pressures of the cooling tower under the most unfavorable working condition are compared between the four ventilation rates of shutters (0%, 15%, 30% and 100%). The results show that the amount of raindrops captured by the internal surface of the tower decreases as the wind velocity increases, and increases along with the rainfall intensity and ventilation rate of the shutters. The maximum value of rain-induced pressure coefficient is 0.013. The research findings lay the basis for determining the precise values of internal surface loads of cooling tower under extreme weather conditions.

Rapid post-earthquake damage estimation of subway stations is particularly necessary to improve short-term crisis management and safety measures of urban subway systems after a destructive earthquake. The conventional Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) framework with constant earthquake occurrence rate is invalid to estimate the aftershock risk because of the time-varying rate of aftershocks and the uncertainty of mainshock-damaged state before the occurrence of aftershocks. This study presents a time-varying probabilistic seismic risk assessment framework for underground structures considering mainshock and aftershock hazards. A discrete non-omogeneous Markov process is adopted to quantify the time-varying nature of aftershock hazard and the uncertainties of structural damage states following mainshock. The time-varying seismic risk of a typical rectangular frame subway station is assessed under mainshock-only (MS) hazard and mainshock-aftershock (MSAS) hazard. The results show that the probabilities of exceeding same limit states over the service life under MSAS hazard are larger than the values under MS hazard. For the same probability of exceedance, the higher response demands are found when aftershocks are considered. As the severity of damage state for the station structure increases, the difference of the probability of exceedance increases when aftershocks are considered. PSDR=1.0% is used as the collapse prevention performance criteria for the subway station is reasonable for both the MS hazard and MSAS hazard. However, if the effect of aftershock hazard is neglected, it can significantly underestimate the response demands and the uncertainties of potential damage states for the subway station over the service life.

This paper addresses the finite element modeling of functionally graded porous (FGP) beams for free vibration and buckling behaviour cases. The formulated finite element is based on simple and efficient higher order shear deformation theory. The key feature of this formulation is that it deals with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory with only three unknowns without requiring any shear correction factor. In fact, the presented two-noded beam element has three degrees of freedom per node, and the discrete model guarantees the interelement continuity by using both C⁰ and C¹ continuities for the displacement field and its first derivative shape functions, respectively. The weak form of the governing equations is obtained from the Hamilton principle of FGP beams to generate the elementary stiffness, geometric, and mass matrices. By deploying the isoparametric coordinate system, the derived elementary matrices are computed using the Gauss quadrature rule. To overcome the shear-locking phenomenon, the reduced integration technique is used for the shear strain energy. Furthermore, the effect of porosity distribution patterns on the free vibration and buckling behaviours of porous functionally graded beams in various parameters is investigated. The obtained results extend and improve those predicted previously by alternative existing theories, in which significant parameters such as material distribution, geometrical configuration, boundary conditions, and porosity distributions are considered and discussed in detailed numerical comparisons. Determining the impacts of these parameters on natural frequencies and critical buckling loads play an essential role in the manufacturing process of such materials and their related mechanical modeling in aerospace, nuclear, civil, and other structures.

Soil erosion can cause scouring and failures of underwater structures, therefore, various soil improvement techniques are used to increase the soil erosion resistance. The microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) method is proposed to increase the erosion resistance, however, there are only limited experimental and numerical studies on the use of MICP treatment for improvement of surface erosion resistance. Therefore, this study investigates the improvement in surface erosion resistance of sands by MICP through laboratory experiments and numerical modeling. The surface erosion behaviors of coarse sands with various calcium carbonate contents were first investigated via the erosion function apparatus (EFA). The test results showed that MICP treatment increased the overall erosion resistance, and the contribution of the precipitated calcium carbonate to the erosion resistance and critical shear stress was quantified in relation to the calcium carbonate contents. Further, these surface erosion processes occurring in the EFA test were simulated through the coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) with the cohesion bonding model to reflect the mineral precipitation effect. The simulation results were compared with the experimental results, and the developed CFD-DEM model with the cohesion bonding model well predicted the critical shear stress of MICP-treated sand. This work demonstrates that the MICP treatment is effective in improving soil erosion resistance, and the coupled CFD-DEM with a bonding model is a useful and promising tool to analyze the soil erosion behavior for MICP-treated sand at a particle scale.

In cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, such as trusses, transmission towers and portal frames, the use of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections are becoming increasingly popular. In such an arrangement, intermediate welds or screw fasteners are required at discrete points along the length, preventing the angle sections from buckling independently. Limited research is available in the literature on axial strength of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections. The issue is addressed herein. This paper presents an experimental investigation reported by the authors on back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections with intermediate stiffeners under axial compression. The load-axial shortening behaviour along with the deformed shapes at failure are reported. A nonlinear finite element (FE) model was then developed, which includes material non-linearity, geometric imperfections and modelling of intermediate fasteners. The FE model was validated against the experimental test results, which showed good agreement, both in terms of failure loads and deformed shapes at failure. The validated finite element model was then used for the purpose of a parametric study comprising 96 models to investigate the effect of longer to shorter leg ratios, stiffener provided in the longer leg, thicknesses and lengths on axial strength of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections. Four different thicknesses and seven different lengths (stub to slender columns) with three overall widths to the overall depth (B/D) ratios were investigated in the parametric study. Axial strengths obtained from the experimental tests and FE analyses were used to assess the performance of the current design guidelines as per the Direct Strength Method (DSM); obtained comparisons show that the current DSM is conservative by only 7% and 5% on average, while predicting the axial strengths of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections with and without the stiffener, respectively.

The unitized regenerative fuel cell (URFC) is a method that can reduce costs and increase system simplification by unitizing a fuel cell system and a water electrolysis system. The spray method is suitable as the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) manufacturing method for URFC because it is easy to control the amount of catalyst, the size of the system is small, and economical manufacturing is possible. In this study, a numerical analysis of the effect of solution concentration on the spray method was performed to use it as basic data for the spray method to be used in MEA manufacturing. As result, as the Nafion solution concentration decreases it was found that the spray speed and the mass flow rate and the discrete phase model concentration increases and the spray range widens.

토양으로 투입되는 유기물의 종류나 투입된 후의 부식화과정(humification)을 고려하여 선정된 논 밭 토양으로부터 부식간(humic acid)을 추출 정제하였다. 부식간의 유효흡착 부위에 대한 수소이온과 다른 이온간의 흡착 경쟁을 이해하기 위한 첫단계로 수소이온에 대한 친화력(proton affinity)를 전위차적정에 의하여 측정하였다. 또한, 이의 전개양상을 Discrete ligand electrostatic model인 Model A와 Model V로 해석하고자 하였다. 추출 정제된 부식산들은 pH 변화(pH 3~11)에 따라 수소이온 친화력의 분포양상이 서로 차이를 보였으며, 서로 다른 농도의 배경전해질(0.01, 0.10, 0.50 and 1.00 M NaNO3)하에서 이온강도의 증가에 따라 부식산의 표면 음전하량이 증가하였다. 특히 남원통의 경우 증가폭이 pH 6.39 이하에서 상대적으로 컸다. 또한, continuous titration보다 batch titration에서 표면전하에 대한 이온강도에 따른 차이가 확인하였다. 이는 continuous titration시 반응시간의 부족으로 평형상태를 이루지 못해 전해질의 영향을 완전히 반영하지 못하여 이런 결과가 도출된 것으로 생각되어진다. 그러므로, 부식산을 다른 이온종과 반응시키고자 할 때 충분한 반응시간(7일)을 가능케 하는 batch titration이 적절할 것으로 생각된다. 이번 실험에 적용된 Model A와 V는 모두 좋은 예측값 (RSD<$5.46{\times}10-2cmolc\;kg-1$)을 보였다. Model A는 Model V에 비하여 단순하나, 상대적으로 많은 매개변수(fitted parameters)을 필요로 하며, 결합부위인 부식산 관능기들의 겉보기 해리상수(Kapp) 변화는 관능기의 불균일성이라기 보다는 정전기적 인력의 영향이 더 크다고 생각된다. Model V는 관능기들의 해리상수를 중간값과 전개인자로 나타냄으로써 부식산 표면의 불균일성(heterogeneity)을 좀 더 실질적으로 표현해 주고 있다.

유전체 초기단계 연구에서는 비교적 소수의 마이크로어레이 샘플자료로서 실험을 진행하여 심도 깊게 연구해야 할 유전자 부분군(subsets)을 탐색하게 된다. 이러한 과정에서 요구되는 부분군 탐색에 사용되는 분석방법은 다수 샘플자료 분석의 경우와는 매우 다른 방법들이다. 유전자 극소수 샘플자료의 분석에 매우 적절한 방법인 랜덤검정법을 적용하여 정확한 P값(exact P value)의 이산형 분포가 얻어지고, 일양분포 귀무가설의 검정으로 유의 유전자가 존재하는지를 파악할 수 있다. 한 단계 더 나아가 Fuchs와 Kenett (1980)이 제시한 M 검정을 이용하여 이산형 P 값 다항분포에서 이상범주군(outlier cells)을 찾을 수 있으며 이로써 유의 유전자로서의 가능성이 있는 유전자군을 선정한다. 대다수의 마이크로어레이 유전체 연구에서 수 천 또는 수 만개의 유전자가 서로 독립이라고 가정하고 분석하는 것이 문제점이다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 유전자 연관성을 그대로 유지하는 순열에 기초한 랜덤검정법과 M 검정법으로서 유전자 연관성이 분석에 미치는 영향을 모의실험으로 알아보았으며, 그 영향이 결코 미약하지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다.
