This paper evaluates the scaling of ground motions recorded from nine intermediate-depth earthquakes produced in the Vrancea seismic zone in Romania. The considered ground motion database consists of 363 horizontal recordings obtained on soil classes B and C (according to Eurocode 8). An analysis of the inter- and intra-event spectral accelerations is performed in order to gain information regarding the magnitude and distance scaling of the Vrancea ground motions. The analyses reveal a significant influence of the earthquake magnitude and focal depth on the distance scaling and different magnitude and distance scaling for the two soil classes. A linear magnitude and distance scaling is inferred from the results for the range of magnitudes $5.2{\leq}M_W{\leq}7.1$. The results obtained are checked through stochastic simulations and the influence of the stress drop and kappa values on the ground motion levels is assessed. In addition, five ground motion models which were tested in other studies using recordings from Vrancea earthquakes are analyzed in order to evaluate their corresponding host stress drop and kappa. The results show generally a direct connection between the host kappa values and the host stress drop values. Moreover, all the ground motion models depict magnitude dependent host kappa and stress drop levels.

The three dimensional structure of thermohaline circulation in a D-plane is investigated using a conceptual two layer model and a scaling argument. In this simple model, the water mass formation region is excluded. The upper layer represents the oceans above the main thermocline. The lower layer represents the deep ocean below the thermocline and is much thicker than the upper layer. In each layer, geostrophy and the linear vorticity balance are assumed. The cross interfacial velocity that compensates for the deep water mass formation balances downward heat diffusion from the top. From the above relations, we can determine the thickness of the upper layer, which is the same as thermocline depth. The results we get is basically the same as that we get for an f-plane ocean or the classical thermocline theory. Mass budget using the velocity scales from the scaling argument shows that western boundary and interior transports are much larger than the net meridional transport. Therefore in the thermohaline circulation, horizontal circulation is much stronger than the vertical circulation occuring on a meridional plane.

시간영역의 지진 가속도-시간 이력을 주파수 영역의 courier 진폭-주파수 이력으로 변화시키는 Trifunac의 경험적 모델을 기초로 하여 지진 관측소에서 측정된 임의 규모의 실제 지진기록들을 필요한 규모의 지진기록으로 유사화시키는 지진 확대 (scaling) 기법을 제안하였다. 또한, 지진 규모(M) 5.6의 지진기록을 이용하여 지진 규모(M) 8.0의 유사지진을 작성하여 동적 재하 시험 장치에 적용가능하도록 하였다. 지진 확대 (scaling) 기법은 MMI(modified mercalli intensity), 지진기록 부지의 조건,진앙거리,지진 가속도 성분의 방향, 해석의 신뢰도 등을 고려할 수 있으며, 다양한 지진 기록들에 적용가능하였다.유사지진은 수평방향의 성분들만을 고려하여 작성되었다. 압력토조내에 설치된 모형인장말뚝과 개단압출말뚝에 대한 유사지진 진동에 의한 동적 말뚝재하시험이 가능하였다. 정적 말뚝재하시험시 인장말뚝과 압축말뚝의 거동은 매우 상이하였는데, 인장말뚝은 2~3회의 급작스런 미끄러짐 변위를 수반하였다. 또한, 유사 지진 진동중 인장말뚝과 개단압축말뚝의 거동특성은 매우 상이하였으며, 지지력 감소특성도 크게 달랐다.

A simplified simulation model is designed to investigate the vacuum-driven bonding of glass panels in the cell process for LCD manufacturing. The bonding process is modelled by the transient flow of a weakly-compressible fluid in a very thin channel between two horizontal glass panels. An order of magnitude scaling analysis is conducted based on the characteristic feature of the channel of which height is much smaller than the horizontal length scales. It is revealed that the flow in the channel is represented by a Poiseuille flow of a compressible fluid. A finite volume model has been constructed to acquire the numerical solution to the derived simplified equations. For a simple test problem of pressure-driven microchannel flow, an assessment is made of the accuracy and validity of the proposed model. The basic aspects of vacuum-driven bonding are examined numerically, and the applicability of the present simulation model is illustrated.

One of the most important parameters affecting nonlinearsoil-structure interaction, especially rocking foundation, is the vertical factor of safety (F.S_v). In this research, the effect of F.S_v on the behavior of rocking foundations was experimentally investigated. A set of slow, cyclic, horizontal loading tests was conducted on elastic SDOF structures with different shallow foundations. Vertical bearing capacity tests also were conducted to determine the F.S_v more precisely. Furthermore, 10% silt was mixed with the dry sand at a 5% moisture content to reach the minimum apparent cohesion. The results of the vertical bearing capacity tests showed that the bearing capacity coefficients (N_c and N_γ) were influenced by the scaling effect. The results of horizontal cyclic loading tests showed that the trend of increase in capacity was substantially related to the source of nonlinearity and it varied by changing F.S_v. Stiffness degradation was found to occur in the final cycles of loading. The results indicated that the moment capacity and damping ratio of the system in models with lower F.S_v values depended on soil specifications such cohesiveness or non-cohesiveness and were not just a function of F.S_v.

최근 지하공간에 대한 수요가 많아지면서 대심도 굴착으로 흙막이 벽체가 활용되고 있다. 흙막이 벽체는 변위에 취약한 구조물로써 국토교통부에서 제시한 관리기준으로 계측관리를 수행하고 있으나 계측관리를 통한 대비는 후처리에 가깝다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 머신러닝을 이용한 그라운드 앵커가 설치된 흙막이 벽체의 수평변위 예측뿐만 아니라 머신러닝으로 계측데이터를 학습하는 과정에서 데이터 스케일링과 분할 방법에 따른 예측모델의 영향을 분석하였다. 이 연구의 분석결과에 따르면 사용자 지정분할방법이 적합하지 않은 경우도 있었으나 일정 조건하에서 데이터 학습 및 출력에 가장 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 데이터 스케일링은 앵커의 인장력, 수압을 표준화하였을 때 오차 1 이내, R-Squared 값이 0.77로 우수한 성능을 나타냈으며 스케일링을 적용하지 않은 모델 대비 음의 변위를 예측하는 결과를 보였다.

일반적으로 격행주사(interlace) 된 Side-by-Side (SbS) 영상의 경우 화면 재생 시, 전송받은 영상을 먼저 디인터레이싱(de-interlacing)한 후에 좌우 영상을 분리하여 수평 해상도를 보간하는데, 이때 한번 가공된 디인터레이싱 값을 참조하여 보간 값을 결정하게 되는 관계로 수평 해상도의 정확성이 크게 떨어지게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 격행주사 방식의 SbS 3D 영상의 수평 해상도 보간 방법을 제안한다. 수평 해상도 보간 시에 격행주사 방식으로 전송받은 라인과 디인터레이싱 기법을 이용해 보간한 라인의 특성에 따라 각 라인에서 활용할 수 있는 전송받은 값을 가지고 각각 다른 보간 방법을 적용함으로써 정확도를 향상하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법의 실험 결과는 기존의 보간 기법들보다 주관적, 객관적 화질에서 더욱 우수한 성능을 보여준다.

In this study, the city of Osijek is used as a case study area for low to medium seismicity regions with deep soil over deep geological deposits to determine horizontal PGA values. For this reason, we propose new regional attenuation equations for PGA that can simultaneously capture the effects of deep geology and local soil conditions. A micro-zoning map for the city of Osijek is constructed using the derived empirical scaling equations and compared to all prior seismic hazard estimates for the same area. The findings suggest that the deep soil atop deep geological sediments results in PGA values that are only 6 percent larger than those reported at rock soil sites atop geological rocks. Given the rarity of ground motion records for deep soils atop deep geological layers around the world, we believe this case study is a start toward defining more reliable PGA estimates for similar areas.

Allowing structures to uplift in earthquakes can significantly reduce or even avoid the development of plastic hinges within the structure. The permanent deformations in the structure can thus be minimized. However, uplift of footings can cause additional horizontal movements of a structure. With an increase in movement relative to adjacent structures, the probability of pounding between structures increases. This experimental study reveals that the footing mass can be used to control the vertical displacement of footing and thus reduce the horizontal displacements of an upliftable structure. A four storey model structure with plastic hinges and uplift capability was considered. Shake table tests using ten different earthquake records were conducted. Three different footing masses were considered. It is found that the amplitude of footing uplift can be greatly reduced by increasing the mass of the footing. As a result, allowing structural uplift does not necessary increase the horizontal displacement of the structure. The results show that with increasing footing weight, the interaction between structural and footing response can increase the contribution of the higher modes to the structural response. Consequently, the induced vibrations on secondary structure increase.
