수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 거동 예측에는 일반적으로 비선형 p-y 곡선을 이용한 BNWF(Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation) 해석법이 주로 사용된다. BNWF 해석법은 다양한 사례를 통하여 정확성이 입증된 반면 군말뚝의 경우 p-multiplier를 사용해야 하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이와같은 단점은 유한요소 또는 차분법의 사용으로 해결할 수 있다. 이 방법 적용 시, 지반과 말뚝은 솔리드 요소로 모델링된다. 하지만, 말뚝을 솔리드 요소로 모사하게 되면 회전 자유도가 없어 정확성이 감소하며 이를 극복하기 위해서는 요소의 크기를 현저하게 감소시켜야 하지만 3D 해석에서 요소 수의 증가는 막대한 연산시간이 요구되므로 적용에 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 단점을 극복하는 빔요소와 Rigid 링크를 이용한 말뚝 모델링 방법을 구축하였으며 이의 적용성을 현장시험결과와 BNWF의 비교를 통하여 검증하였다. 사용된 해석 프로그램은 지진공학용으로 개발된 OpenSees이다. 비교 결과, 빔요소와 Rigid 링크를 이용한 방법은 비교적 정확하게 현장시험결과와 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 추후 이 방법은 군말뚝의 해석에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents finite element analyses, experimental measurements and finite element model updating of an arch type steel laboratory bridge model using semi-rigid connections. The laboratory bridge model is a single span and fixed base structure with a length of 6.1 m and width of 1.1m. The height of the bridge column is 0.85 m and the maximum arch height is 0.95 m. Firstly, a finite element model of the bridge is created in SAP2000 program and analytical dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies and mode shapes are determined. Then, experimental measurements using ambient vibration tests are performed and dynamic characteristics (natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios) are obtained. Ambient vibration tests are performed under natural excitations such as wind and small impact effects. The Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition method in the frequency domain and the Stochastic Subspace Identification method in the time domain are used to extract the dynamic characteristics. Then the finite element model of the bridge is updated using linear elastic rotational springs in the supports and structural element connections to minimize the differences between analytically and experimentally estimated dynamic characteristics. At the end of the study, maximum differences in the natural frequencies are reduced on average from 47% to 2.6%. It is seen that there is a good agreement between analytical and experimental results after finite element model updating. Also, connection percentages of the all structural elements to joints are determined depending on the rotational spring stiffness.

The frequencies formulas of the bridge are of great importance in the design process since these formulas provide insight dynamic characteristics of the structure, which guides the designers to parametric analyses and the layout of the bridge in conceptual or preliminary design. Continuous rigid frame bridge is popular in the mountainous area. Mostly, this type of bridge was simplified either as a girder or cantilever when calculating the frequency, however, studies showed that the different configuration of the bridge made the problem more complex, and there is no unified fundamental calculation pattern for this kind of bridge. In this study, an empirical frequency equation is proposed as a function of pier's height, stiffness of pier and the weight of the structure. A unified fundamental frequency formula is presented based on the energy principle, then the typical continuous rigid frame bridge is investigated by finite element method (FEM) to study the dynamic characteristics of the structure, and then several key parameters are investigated on the effect of structural frequency. These parameters include the number, position and stiffness of the tie beam. Nonlinear regression analyses are conducted with a comprehensive statistical study from plenty of engineering structures. Finally, the proposed frequency equation is validated by field test results. The results show that the fundamental frequency of the continuous rigid frame bridge increases more than 15% when the tie beams are set, and it increases with the stiffness ratio of tie beam to pier. The results also show that the presented unified fundamental frequency has an error of 4.6% compared with the measured results. The investigation can predicate the approximate longitudinal fundamental frequency of continuous ridged frame bridge, which can provide reference for the seismic response and dynamic impact factor design of the pier.

The quasi static test of the steel reinforced concrete (SRC) bridge piers and rigid frame arch bridge structure with SRC piers was conducted in the laboratory, and the seismic performance of SRC piers was compared with that of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers. In the test, the failure process, the failure mechanism, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves, ductility coefficient, stiffness degradation curves and the energy dissipation curves were analyzed. According to the $M-{\Phi}$ relationship of fiber section, the three-wire type theoretical skeleton curve of the lateral force and the pier top displacement was proposed, and the theoretical skeleton curves are well consistent with the experimental curves. Based on the theoretical model, the effects of the concrete strength, axial compression ratio, slenderness ratio, reinforcement ratio, and the stiffness ratio of arch to pier on the skeleton curve were analyzed.

본 논문은 급경사의 강성사면에 인접한 역 T형 옹벽에 작용하는 상재하중에 의한 연직 토압분포에 관한 실험적 수치해석적 연구결과이다. 강성사면의 조도, 사면과 옹벽 사이의 거리, 중력수준을 변화시킨 원심모형실험을 실시하고 옹벽 뒷채움재에 토압계를 매설하여 연직토압을 측정하였다. 상재하중에 의한 연직토압 분포에 관한 실험 결과를 기존의 두가지의 한계평형 해석이론 및 수치해석 결과와 각각 비교 분석하였다. 정성교(1993, 1997)에 의하여 제시된 보완 사이로이론과 흙쐐기이론을 사용한 한계 평형 해석법을 사용하였으며 그 이론을 확장하여 옹벽 배면 뒷채움재에 작용하는 상재하중에 의한 연직토압분포에 대한 특별해를 구하였다. 수치해석에서는 쌍곡선모델의 흙의 구성관계식이 적용된 FLAC 프로그램을 사용하였다. 수치해석에 의한 토압분포 산정 결과 원심모형실험 결과와 대부분의 경우에서 서로 일치하는 반면에 흙쐐기이론에서는 사면과 옹벽의 거리가 가까운 경우에 한하여 비교적 일치하는 경향을 보였다.

The characteristics of amplitudes and power spectra of X axial, Y axial, and RZ axial (i.e., body axis) wind forces on a 492 m high-rise building with a section varying along height in typical wind directions are studied via a rigid model wind tunnel test of pressure measurement. Then the corresponding mathematical expressions of power spectra of X axial (across-wind), Y axial (along-wind) and torsional wind forces in $315^{\circ}$ wind directions are proposed. The investigation shows that the mathematical expressions of wind force spectra of the main structure in across-wind and torsional directions can be constructed by the superimposition of an modified wind spectrum function and a peak function caused by turbulent flow and vortex shedding, respectively. While that in along-wind direction can only be constructed by the former and is similar to wind spectrum. Moreover, the fitted parameters of the wind load spectra of each measurement level of altitude are summarized, and the unified parametric results are obtained. The comparisons of the first three order generalized force spectra show that the proposed mathematical expressions accord with the experimental results well.

For industrial package (IP)-type transport containers for radioactive materials, a free drop test should be conducted under regulatory conditions. Owing to various uncertainties observed during the drop test, errors in drop angles inevitably occur. In IP-type metal transport containers in which the container directly impacts onto a rigid target without any shock absorbing materials, the error in the drop angle due to a slight misalignment makes a significant difference from the ideal drop. In particular, in a vertical drop, the error in the drop angle causes a strong secondary impact. In this paper, a numerical method is proposed to estimate the error in the drop angle occurring during the test. To determine this error, an optimization method accompanying a computational drop analysis is proposed, and a surrogate model is introduced to ensure calculation efficiency. Effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by performing the verification and comparison between the test and the analysis applied with the drop angle error.

A series of tests in an ice tank was carried out using a model-scale ship to investigate the ice loading process. The ship model Uikku was mounted on a rigid carriage and towed through a level ice field in the ice tank of the Marine Technology Group at Aalto University. The carriage speed and ice thickness were varied. In this paper, ice loading process was described and the corresponding ice forces on the horizontal plane were analysed. A new method is proposed to decompose different ice force components from the total ice forces measured in the model tests. This analysis method is beneficial to understanding contributions of each force component and modelling of ice loading on hulls. The analysed experimental results could be used for comparison with further numerical simulations.
