해양 연약지반의 동적 물성치 파악을 위해 육상에서의 탄성파 탐사시험 중 하나인 인홀 시험기법의 개념과 피에조콘을 접목시켜 인홀형 탄성파 탐사콘(Inhole type CPTu)을 개발하였다. 이는 육상의 탄성파 탐사콘 시험장치과는 달리 콘 로드(rod) 내부에 벤더 엘리먼트를 활용한 발진기(Source)와 수진기(Receiver)를 함께 내재하고 있기 때문에 외부의 부가적인 발진기의 필요 없이 탄성파 시험을 수행할 수 있다. 이번 연구에서는 벤더 엘리먼트를 부착한 인홀콘에서 실험 장치 및 조건과 관련한 다양한 변수가 인홀콘 시험결과에 미치는 영향을 검토하고, 이를 통해 최적의 시험 조건을 알아보고자 하는 목적으로 카올리나이트를 활용한 실내모형실험과 유한요소기법을 활용한 수치모델링을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 인홀형 탄성파콘 시험을 통해 일관된 결과를 얻기 위해서는 발진자와 수진자 사이의 거리 및 회전보의 길이를 일정하게 두고 균일한 실험 방법을 활용하는 것이 필요하며, 발진자에 적용되는 입력 주파수와는 달리, 회전보를 펼쳤을 때 발생하는 교란이나 시험지반의 함수비가 측정되는 탄성파 속도에 미치는 영향을 뚜렷하게 확인할 수 있었다.

도심지 터널굴착 시 지반침하는 지반조건, 굴착방법, 지하수 상태, 터널 지보방법 등 다양한 조건이 복합적으로 작용하여 발생할 수 있으며 대표적인 위험요인은 크게 터널굴착에 의한 지반침하와 지표면함몰로 나눌 수 있다. 터널굴착에 의한 지반침하를 예측하기 위해서는 대상구간의 현황 및 시공조건 등을 반영하고 응력 및 변위를 고려한 수치해석을 수행하여야 한다. 그러므로 터널 전체 노선 및 인근 지장물 현황을 포함하는 영역에 대해, 터널 심도가 변하는 다양한 조건을 고려해야 하는 수치해석의 복잡한 과정을 단순화하여 터널굴착으로 인한 지표면 및 심도별 지반침하를 간편하게 예측하고 평가할 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지하안전영향평가 수행 시 주요 평가항목인 터널굴착으로 인한 지반침하를 연구대상으로 선정하고, 지층조건, 지반특성, 토피고(터널심도) 및 터널 중심선으로부터 횡방향 이격거리와 같은 지반침하 영향요소를 고려한 매개변수해석을 수행하여 심도별 지반침하 특성 및 침하 발생경향을 분석하고, 터널굴착으로 인한 지반침하를 간편하게 예측할 수 있는 침하량 평가도표를 도출하였다. 도출된 침하량 평가도표는 수치해석 결과와 비교 분석을 통해 적정성이 검증되었으며 침하량 평가도표를 이용하여 터널굴착 시 지표침하뿐만 아니라 지중 매설물의 위치와 심도에 따른 침하량을 간편하게 예측하고 평가할 수 있다.

압축 분산형 앵커는 여러 개의 내하체를 이용하여 그라우트에 발생하는 압축응력을 분산시키고 앵커 인장력을 증가시키는 앵커이다. 압축 분산형 앵커의 경우 내하체 사이의 간격이 그라우트 응력에 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러나, 현재까지 내하체 간격에 대한 연구가 매우 부족하며 설계기준 또한 제시되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 유한요소 수치해석을 수행하여 내하체 간격이 그라우트 응력분포에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 우선, 압축형 앵커에 대해 수행된 현장 재하시험 결과와 비교하여 수치모델링의 적용성을 검증하였다. 그리고, 지반조건, 내하체 간격, 하중크기 등을 변화시키는 변수 연구를 수행하였다. 해석결과, 내하체 간격이 좁아지면 그라우트 최대 압축응력이 증가하며, 내하체 간격이 넓어지면 그라우트에 인장응력이 발생하였다. 그러므로, 그라우트 내 압축응력의 중첩과 인장응력 발생을 최소화하는 내하체 간격을 최적간격으로 정의하고, 지반조건과 하중크기에 따른 최적간격을 제시하였다.

The use of spliced reinforcing bars in sustainable concrete members to manage inadequate bars length is a common practical issue which is may be due to some limitations. The lap splicing means two bars overlapped in parallel with specified length called the splice length in order to provide the required bond between the two bars. The bond between sustainable concrete and spliced steel bars is another important issue. The normal strength sustainable concrete specimens of sizes 1700×150×150 mm with tension reinforcement lap spliced were selected according to testing device length limitations. These members were designed to fail in flexure in order to investigate the lap spliced tension bars effect. The selected lap spliced tension bars were of 10 mm size with smooth and deformed surfaces in order to investigate the surface nature accompanied with the splice nature. The sustainable concrete mechanical properties and mix workability were also studied. This study reveals that the effect of number of spliced bars on the response of beams reinforced with smooth bars is found to be more obvious than deformed one. Finite element modeling in three dimensions was carried out for the tested beams using ABAQUS software. A parametric study is carried out using finite elements on considering the following parameters, concrete compressive strength, load type and opening in cross section (hollow section) for weight reduction purposes.The laboratory and numerical results show good agreements in terms of ultimate load and deflection with an average difference of 10% and 15% in ultimate load and deflection respectively.

This study proposes a new damper configuration for seismic performance improvement of heavy sliding facilities inside a building. For this purpose, we deal with two connection types of control system, and the parametric study has been performed to investigate their comparative seismic performances according to the variations of the control capacity. In order to simulate the seismic responses of the proposed system, we employed a recently-developed seismic response analysis method that can deal with the two-mass system with nonlinear frictional sliding behavior. The numerical results demonstrate that the typical method of diagonal bracing damper connection can exhibit effective control performance both on structure and the heavy sliding facilities, whereas the structure-facilities connection method does not show any control effect on both responses. On the other hand, the typical method has some limitations that it can adversely cause excessive sliding of the facilities, depending upon the frequency characteristics of structure and earthquake. On the contrary, the structure-facilities connection method is very effective in reducing the sliding displacement of the heavy facilities, even with small amount of control capacity. Thus, the following potential expectations can be inferred from these results: The typical diagonal bracing damper connection method will have some promising benefits in controlling the sliding facilities inside the building as well as the building itself, and the structure-facilities connection method can be a cost-effective way of protecting the internal heavy important facilities inside the structure already designed with sufficient seismic performance.

The present study has been carried out to analyze the flow characteristics with geometric shape and control conditions in subsea by-pass valve. The function of by-pass valve is to prevent reverse flow. In this study, the static analysis has been perform for analyzing fluid flow in open state. In order to consider the turbulent effect, the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model was used. A variety of parametric studies, such as by-pass valve type or size, volume flow rate, leakage hole size, leakage hole position, block type, block shape, were performed. The pressure difference across the valve in the model broadened the flow channel cross-sectional area was greater than the base model for the same operating conditions. As the pipe diameter in the block decreases the pressure difference is greatly increased. The pressure difference according to block shape such as edge type and round was almost negligible. For the same Reynolds number the pressure difference was little changed according to the size of the valve.

This study proposes a multi-scale dynamic system reliability analysis of control system as a method of quantitative evaluation of its performance in probabilistic terms. In this second paper, we discuss the control effect of the viscous damper on the seismic performance of the structure-level failure. Since the failure of one structural member does not necessarily cause the collapse of the structural system, we need to consider a set of failure scenarios of the structural system and compute the sum of the failure probabilities of the failure scenarios where the statistical dependence between the failure scenarios should be taken into account. Therefore, this computation requires additional system reliability analysis. As a result, the proposed approach takes a hierarchial framework where the failure probability of a structural member is computed using a lower-scale system reliability with the union set of time-sequential member failures and their statistical dependence, and the failure probability of the structural system is again computed using a higher-scale system reliability with the member failure probabilities obtained by the lower-scale system reliability and their statistical dependence. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approach can provide an accurate and stable reliability assessment of the control performance of the viscous damper system on the system failure. Also, the parametric study of damper capacity on the seismic performance has been performed to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach through the probabilistic assessment of the seismic performance improvement of the damper system.

The long-term performance of plates resting on viscoelastic foundations is a major concern in the analysis of soil-structure interaction. As a powerful mathematical tool, fractional calculus may address these plate-on-foundation problems. In this paper, a fractionalized Zener model is proposed to study the time-dependent behavior of a uniformly loaded rectangular thin foundation plate. By use of the viscoelastic-elastic correspondence principle and the Laplace transforms, the analytical solutions were obtained in terms of the Mittag-Leffler function. Through the analysis of a numerical example, the calculated plate deflection, bending moment and foundation reaction were compared to those from ideal elastic and standard viscoelastic models. It is found that the upper and lower bound solutions of the plate response estimated by the proposed model can be determined using the elastic model. Based on a parametric study, the impacts of model parameters on the long-term performance of a foundation plate were systematically investigated. The results show that the two spring stiffnesses govern the upper and lower bound solutions of the plate response. By varying the values of the fractional differential order and the coefficient of viscosity, the time-dependent behavior of a foundation plate can be accurately captured. The fractional differential order seems to be dependent on the mechanical properties of the ground soil. A sandy foundation will have a small fractional differential order while in order to simulate the creeping of clay foundation, a larger fractional differential order value is needed. The fractionalized Zener model is capable of accounting for the primary and secondary consolidation processes of the foundation soil and can be used to predict the plate performance over many decades of time.

The shear lag has been studied for many years. Nevertheless, existing research gives a variety of stress concentration factors. Unlike the elementary beam theory, the application of load is not unique in reality. For example, concentrated load can be applied as point load or distributed load along the height of the web. This non-uniqueness may be a reason for the discrepancy of the stress concentration factors in the existing studies. The finite element method has been often employed for studying the effect of the shear lag. However, not many researches have taken into account the influence of the finite element mesh on the shear lag phenomenon, although stress concentration can be quite sensitive to the mesh employed in the finite element analysis. This may be another source for the discrepancy of the stress concentration factors. It also needs to be noted that much less studies seem to have been conducted for the shear lag effect on deflection while some design codes have formulas. The present study investigates the shear lag effect in a simply supported box girder by the three-dimensional finite element method using shell elements. The whole girder is modeled by shell elements, and extensive parametric study with respect to the geometry of a box girder is carried out. Not only stress concentration but also deflection is computed. The effect of the way load is applied and the dependency of finite element mesh on the shear lag are carefully treated. Based on the numerical results thus obtained, empirical formulas are proposed to compute stress concentration and deflection that includes the shear lag effect.
