The cross-shore sediment transport in a coastal region causes the important changes in beach morphological properties. The accurate estimation of the cross-shore sediment transport is important for the designing of the marine structures such as seawalls, jetties, breakwaters etc, and the preventing coastal erosion and accretion due to on-off shore sediment transportation. In this study, the experiments on cross- shore sediment transport carried out in a laboratory wave channel for initial beach slopes of 1/8, 1/10 and 1/15. Using the regular waves with different deep-water wave steepness generated by a pedal-type wave generator, the geometrical characteristics of beach profiles under storm conditions and the parameters affecting on-off shore sediment transport are investigated for the beach materials having medium diameters of $d_{50}$=0.25, 0.32, 0.45, 0.62 and 0.80 mm. The experimental results obtained from this study compared with previous experimental work and found to be of the same magnitude as the experimental measurements and followed the expected basic trend.

In the study, energy flow analysis is performed to predict the performance of silencers. To date, deterministic approaches such as finite element method have been widely used for silencer analysis. However, they have limitations in analyzing large structures and mid-high frequency ranges due to unreasonable computational costs and errors. However, silencers used for ships and off-shore plants are much larger than those used in other engineering fields. Hence, energy governing equation, which is significantly efficient for systems with high modal density, is solved for silencers in ships and off-shore plants. The silencer is divided into two different acoustic media, air and absorption materials. The discontinuity of energy density at interfaces is solved via hypersingular integrals for the 3-D modified Helmholtz equation to analyze multi-domain problems with the energy flow boundary element method. The method is verified by comparing the measurements and analysis results for ship silencers over mid-high frequency ranges. The comparisons confirm good agreement between the measurement and analysis results. We confirm that the applied analysis method is useful for large silencers in mid-high frequency ranges. With the proven procedures, energy flow analysis can be performed for various types of silencer used in ships and off-shore plants in the first stage of the design.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term performance of various concrete composites in natural marine environment prevailing in the Gulf region. Durability assessment studies of such nature are usually carried out under aggressive environments that constitute seawater, chloride and sulfate laden soils and wind, and groundwater conditions. These studies are very vital for sustainable development of marine and off shore reinforced concrete structures of industrial design such as petroleum installations. First round of testing and evaluation, which is presented in this paper, were performed by standard tests under laboratory conditions. Laboratory results presented in this paper will be corroborated with test outcome of ongoing three years field exposure conditions. The field study will include different parameters of investigation for high performance concrete including corrosion inhibitors, type of reinforcement, natural and industrial pozzolanic additives, water to cement ratio, water type, cover thickness, curing conditions, and concrete coatings. Like the laboratory specimens, samples in the field will be monitored for corrosion induced deterioration signs and for any signs of failureover initial period ofthree years. In this paper, laboratory results pertaining to microsilica (SF), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), epoxy coated rebars and calcium nitrite corrosion inhibitor are very conclusive. Results affirmed that the supplementary cementing materials such as GGBS and SF significantly impacted and enhanced concrete resistivity to chloride ions penetration and hence decrease the corrosion activities on steel bars protected by such concretes. As for epoxy coated rebars applications under high chloride laden conditions, results showed great concern to integrity of the epoxy coating layer on the bar and its stability. On the other hand corrosion inhibiting admixtures such as calcium nitrite proved to be more effective when used in combination with the pozzolanic additives such as GGBS and microsilica.

The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), which is one of the major greenhouse gases, continues to rise with the increase in fossil fuel consumption. In order to mitigate global warming the amount of CO2 discharge to the atmosphere must be reduced. Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology is now regarded as one of the most promising options. To complete the carbon cycle in a CCS system, a huge amount of captured CO2 from major point sources such as power plantsshould be transported for storage into the marine or ground geological structures. Since 2005, we have developed technologies for marine geological storage of CO2,including possible storage site surveys and basic design of CO2 transport and storage process. In this paper, the design parameters which will be useful to construct on-shore and off-shore CO2 transport systems are deduced and analyzed. To carry out this parametric study, we suggested variations in thedesign parameters such as flow rate, diameter, temperature and pressure, based on a hypothetical scenario. We also studied the fluid flow behavior and thermal characteristics in a pipeline transport system.

Structural members commonly employed in marine and off-shore structures are usually fabricated from plates and shells. Collision of this class of structures is usually modeled as plate and shell structures subjected to dynamic impact loading. The understanding of the dynamic response and energy transmission of the structures subjected to low velocity impact is useful for the efficient design of this type of structures. The transmissions of transient energy flow and dynamic transient response of these structures under low velocity impact are presented in the paper. The structural intensity approach is adopted to study the elastic transient dynamic characteristics of the plate structures under low velocity impact. The nine-node degenerated shell elements are adopted to model both the target and impactor in the dynamic impact response analysis. The structural intensity streamline representation is introduced to interpret energy flow paths for transient dynamic response of the structures. Numerical results, including contact force and transient energy flow vectors as well as structural intensity stream lines, demonstrate the efficiency of the present approach and attenuating impact effects on this type of structures.

선박의 주기관으로 통상 사용되는 디젤기관은 터빈기관과 같은 회전기관과 달리 왕복동기관이기 때문에 실린더의 폭발력과 피스톤의 왕복관성력에 의한 불평형 관성력 및 관성모멘트, 실린더내의 주기적인 변동가스압력 등으로 인하여 본질적인 진동문제를 안고 있다. 이것은 엔진의 진동은 소음의 원인이 되고, 선체구조나 인접구조물에 전달되어 2차진동이 발생시키는 경우가 많다. 본 연구는 선박의 엔진과 축계의 자유진동해석과 엔진 폭발에 의한 강제진동해석을 하고, 나아가서 플라이휠에 부진동 장치인 동흡진기를 설치하여 진동을 줄이는 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

공용하중 상태에서 지반이 경험하는 변형률 크기는 0.1%~1% 미만임이 밝혀지고 있다. 변형특성보다 엄밀히 평가하기 위하여는 미소변형률 영역에서의 신뢰성 있는 변형측정을 위해 현장시험장비가 필요한 실정이다. 콘과 공내재하시험기를 혼합한 Cone-pressuremeter test(CPM)을 서해안 연약 해성점토층에 수행하였다. 반교란효과를 최소화시키기 위해 제하-재하 Loop를 이용하여 탄성계수를 측정하였으며 공동확장이론의 공내 재하시험 이론식을 이용하여 지반교란이 최소화된 제하단계에 대한 Curve Fitting 방법으로부터 지반의 비배수 강도와 탄성계수를 측정하였다. 측정된 탄성계수, 비배수 강도의 비를 평가해본 결과 $E_u/S_u$가 589로 다른 삼축시험 등 실내시험보다 크게 평가되어 미소변형하의 탄성계수를 신뢰성 있게 산정할 수 있는 것으로 평가되어 수치해석을 통한 지반물성치 산정에 매우 효과적으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

현재 국내에서는 부유식 구조물을 이용하여 소각로 및 담수화 공장을 해상에 축조하는 BMP(Barge Mounted Plant) 시스템에 관한 연구를 수행중에 있다(한국기계연구원 1997). 본 논문에서는 이러한 BMP의 계류 돌핀(mooring dolphin) 구조물하부의 말뚝기초의 거동을 모델하는 기법에 관하여 다루었다. 지반-말뚝계의 축하중 및 횡하중에 대한 거동은 지반을 비선형 스프링으로 모델하고 말뚝을 일축부재 및 보로 모델하여 유한차분적으로 해를 구하는 비선형 지반반력해석을 수행한다. 이러한 말뚝두부에서의 하중-변위관계로부터 지반-말뚝계의 등가강성을 산정할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 거제도 주변 해역을 대상으로 지반조사를 수행하였고 이를 토대로 지반의 깊이에 따른 축방향 및 횡방향 하중전이 관계를 도출하였다. 그리고 돌핀하부의 말뚝에 대하여 축하중 및 횡하중에 대한 지반반력해석을 수행하였다. 이러한 해석과정을 통하여 대상지역에 적합한 말뚝의 관입깊이 및 단면을 합리적으로 산정할 수 있었다. 결국 말뚝두부에서의 하중-변위관계로부터 지반-말뚝계의 강성을 모델함으로써, 지반조건을 고려하여 돌핀구조물의 동적해석을 합리적으로 수행할 수 있었다. 해석결과 지반-말뚝계의 강성을 고려할 경우에는 강체로 고려한 경우에 비하여 변위 진폭이 상당히 크게 나타났다. 그리고 돌핀의 케이싱 상부의 모멘트가 더 크게 나타나고 해저지표 말뚝두부에 전달되는 모멘트는 더 작게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.
