  • The control of the deformative behaviour of pre-stressed concrete roof elements for a satisfactory service performance is a main issue of their structural design. Slender light-weight wing-shaped roof elements, typical of the European heritage, are particularly sensitive to this problem. The paper presents the results of deformation measurements during storage and of both torsional-flexural and purely flexural load tests carried out on a full-scale 40.5 m long innovative wing-shaped roof element. An element-based simplified integral procedure that de-couples the evolution of the deflection profile with the progressive shortening of the beam is adopted to catch the experimental visco-elastic behaviour of the element and the predictions are compared with normative close-form solutions. A linear 3D fem model is developed to investigate the torsional-flexural behaviour of the member. A mechanical non-linear beam model is used to predict the purely flexural behaviour of the roof member in the pre- and post-cracking phases and to validate the loss prediction of the adopted procedure. Both experimental and numerical results highlight that the adopted analysis method is viable and sound for an accurate simulation of the service behaviour of precast roof elements.

  • For temporary excavation support in private land area, the strand of ground anchor should be removed In order to get permission to install anchors. The extractable or removable-strand compression anchor system was developed and evaluated by a series of pull-out load tests. Anchor pull-out tests were performed on seven instrumented full-scale low-pressure grouted anchors installed in weathered soil at the Geotechnical Experimentation Site at Sungkyunkwan University, Four anchors are the compression type anchors and three are the tension anchors. Performance test, creep test, and long term relaxation test were performed and presented. Load distributor was developed in order to distribute large compressive stresses in grout.

  • The membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) creates a natural partnership of a membrane and biofilm, because a gas-transfer membrane delivers a gaseous substrate to the biofilm that grows on the membrane's outer wall. $O_2$-based MBfRs (called membrane aerated biofilm reactors, or MABRs) have existed for much longer than $H_2$-based MBfRs, but the $O_2$-based MBfR is a versatile platform for reducing oxidized contaminants in many water-treatment settings: drinking water, ground water, wastewater, and agricultural drainage. Extensive bench-scale experimentation has proven that the $H_2$-based MBfR can reduce many oxidized contaminant to harmless or easily removed forms: e.g., ${NO_3}^-$ to $N_2$, ${ClO_4}^-$ to $H_2O$ and $Cl^-$, ${SeO_4}^{2-}$ to $Se^0$, and trichloroethene (TCE) to ethene and $Cl^-$. The MBfR has been tested at the pilot scale for ${NO_3}^-$ and ${ClO_4}^-$ and is now entering field-testing for many of the oxidized contaminants alone or in mixtures. For the MBfR to attain its full promise, several issues must be addressed by bench and field research: understanding interactions with mixtures of oxidized contaminants, treating waters with a high TDS concentration, developing modules that can be used in situ to augment pre-denitrification of wastewater, and keeping the capital costs low.

  • Background: The advanced spent fuel conditioning process facility (ACPF) of the irradiated materials examination facility (IMEF) at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has been renovated to implement a lab scale electrolytic reduction process for pyroprocessing. The interior and exterior structures of the ACPF hot cell have been modified under the current renovation project for the experimentation of the electrolytic reduction process using spent nuclear fuel. The most important aspect of this renovation was the installation of the argon compartment within the hot cell. Method: For the design and system implementation of the argon compartment system, a full-scale mock-up test and a three-dimensional (3D) simulation test were conducted in advance. The remodeling and repairing of the process cell (M8a), the maintenance cell (M8b), the isolation room, and their utilities were also planned through this simulation to accommodate the designed argon compartment system. Results and conclusion: Based on the considered refurbishment workflow, previous equipment in the M8 cell, including vessels and pipes, were removed and disposed of successfully after a zoning smear survey and decontamination, and new equipment with advanced functions and specifications were installed in the hot cell. Finally, the operating area and isolation room were also refurbished to meet the requirements of the improved hot cell facility.

  • 비선형 3차원 유한요소 해석법을 이용하여 타이백으로 억지된 토류벽의 거동을 분석하여 설계시에 고려되는 중요 파라미터의 영향을 조사하였다. 제안된 유한요소기법에서 엄지말뚝과 텐던 정착길이는 빔요소로, 토류판은 쉘요소로, 텐던 비정착길이는 스프링 요소로 모델링하였다. 사용된 흙의 거동모델은 사질토의 비선형 거동 특성과 응력이력을 고려할 수 있는 기존의 Hyperbolic 모델을 수정하여 사용하였으며 벽체 전면에서의 굴착, 타이백 설치, 타이조임 그리고 재굴착 등의 모든 축조과정을 단계별로 해석할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 기법을 제안하였다. 여러 가지 주요 설계인자를 변화시키며 파라메트릭 해석을 수행하였고 이 결과 앵커의 위치, 앵커의 비정착 길이, 앵커 조임 하중의 크기와 엄지말뚝의 근입긴이등의 영향을 밝혀낼 수 있었다. 이 해석 결과를 토대로 새로운 설계지침을 제안하였다.

  • 앵커로 지지된 토류벽의 거동 해석기법에는 한계평형이론해석 (Limit Equilibrium Analysis), 유한요소해석(Finite Element Analysis), 그리고 탄소성보 해석법(Beam on Elasto-Plastic Foundation) 등이 있다. 이 중에서 탄소성보 해석법은 토류벽체의 변위, 휨모멘트, 토압분포 등을 구할 수 있고 유한요소해석에 비해 입력자료가 간편한 장점으로 인하여 널리 사용되어 왔다 (Haliburton. 1968.; Pfister등.. 1982: Briaud와 김 낙경, 1998), 탄소성보 해석법은 토류벽체를 탄성보로 모델링하고 지반을 탄소성 토압-변위 곡선 (Elasto-Plastic p-y Curve)으로 표시되는 스프링으로 모델링 하여 지반-토류벽 상호작용을 해석하는 기법이다. 그러므로 앵커토류벽의 탄소성보 해석법은 실제 거동을 모사할 수 있는 토압-변위 곡선의 구성 여부에 따라 그 해석 결과가 좌우된다. 본 논문에서는 미 국립토질시험장(U.S. National Geotechnical experimentation Site)에서 시공된 앵커토류벽의 변위,휨모멘트 계측자료로부터 Cubic Spline 함수를 이용하여 시공단계별로 토류벽에 작용하는 토압을 산정함으로서 토압-변위 곡선을 구성하였다. 구성된 토압-변위 곡선을 이용하여 탄소성 보해석을 실시하여 실측된 변위 및 휨모멘트와 비교함으로서 실험적인 토압-변위 곡선을 평가하고 시공단계를 적절히 고려할 수 있는 탄소성보 해석기법을 제안하였다.

  • This study concentrates on a wave energy converter with floaters that extracts the ocean's energy by moving up and down with the wave motion. The floater is connected to an arm structure, including a hydraulic cylinder that drives a hydraulic generator. This study focuses on a structural analysis of the floater unit, including arm and cylinder components, platform and jack-up system, along with spud columns. Previous studies have been conducted for miniature models for experimentation, but this study focuses on the full-scale model structural analysis. Static structural analysis is conducted using fine numerical grids. Due to the complexity of the whole model, it is analyzed in separate pieces. The floater unit, with arm and cylinder, are combined into one system. The platform is analyzed separately as a single system. There are four jack-up systems for each spud column; only one jack-up system is analyzed, as uniform loads are assumed on each system. There are several load cases for each system, all of which are analyzed thoroughly for stress (von Mises, shear, and normal) and deformation. Acceptable results were obtained for most of the components; unsafe components were redesigned.
