Current Bridge foundation design is based on Working Stress Design(WSD), but Load Factor Based on Optimum Reliability(LFBOR) design method is more rational than the WSD. For this reason, this study proposes a reliability based design criteria for the bridge foundation, which is most common type of bridge foundation(Shallow, Pile and Caission), and also proposes the theoretical basis of nominal safety factors of stability analysis by introducing the reliability theory. The limit state equations of stability analysis of bridge foundation and the uncertainty measuring algorithms of each equation are also derived by Cornell's MFOSM(Mean First Order 2nd Moment Methods)using the stability analysis fourmula Highway Bridge Design Codes.

Current steel pile foundation design is bared an WSD, but the reliability based design method is more rational than the WSD. For this reason, this study proposes a reliability Index of the pile foundation by LFD which is most common type of pile foundation, and also proposes the theoretical bases of nominal safety factors of stability analysis by introducing the reliability theory. The measured bearing capacity data are analyzed to the descriptive statistics and classified into the four models of uncorrelated -normal(UNNO), uncorrelated -nonnormal(UNNN), correlated -normal(CONO), and correlated nonnormal (CONN). This study presents the comparisons of reliability index and check points using the AFSOM with respect to the four models as well as BASIC program.

Investigation of the stability of arch dam abutments is one of the most important aspects in the analysis of this type of dams. To this end, the Bakhtiari dam, a doubly curved arch dam having six wedges at each of its abutments, is selected. The seismic safety of dam abutments is studied through time history analysis using the design-based earthquake (DBE) and maximum credible earthquake (MCE) hazard levels. Londe limit equilibrium method is used to calculate the stability of wedges in abutments. The thrust forces are obtained using ABAQUS, and stability of wedges is calculated using the code written within MATLAB. Effects of foundation flexibility, grout curtain performance, vertical component of earthquake, nonlinear behavior of materials, and geometrical nonlinearity on the safety factor of the abutments are scrutinized. The results show that the grout curtain performance is the main affecting factor on the stability of the abutments, while nonlinear behavior of the materials is the least affecting factor amongst others. Also, it is resulted that increasing number of the contraction joints can improve the seismic stability of dam. A cap is observed on the number of joints, above which the safety factor does not change incredibly.

최근 건축물의 고층화에 따라 양중 계획의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 타워크레인은 중요한 양중 장비로서의 역할을 수행하고 있으나, 구조적 안전사고 발생 시 그 피해가 매우 크므로 철저한 안정성검토가 선행되어야 한다. 타워크레인은 구조적 안정성을 확보하기 위해 횡지지 보강과 독립기초 및 파일기초 설계 등 안정성확보에 대한 고려가 매우 중요하며, 그 중 현장의 특수한 상황으로 인해 지내력 확보가 곤란하거나 더 이상 기초 사이즈를 증가시킬 수 없을 때 파일기초를 사용한다. 파일기초를 사용할 경우 독립기초 사용 시 보다 더 많은 안정성 검토 항목을 고려 해야하므로 체계적이고 철저한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구는 파일기초 설계 시 파일기초의 기본적인 안정성 확보 뿐 만 아니라 최소의 비용 발생을 위한 최적설계 알고리즘 개발이 목적이며, 파일기초를 사용하는 고정식 트롤리타입의 타워크레인으로 연구 범위를 제한하여 진행한다. 타워크레인 파일 기초의 안정성 검토 항목과 절차, 최적설계에 관한 연구 결과물을 토대로 관련 업무 담당자의 업무 효율성을 향상 시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 파일 기초 설계에 투입되는 시간 및 비용의 절감효과를 기대 할 수 있다.

Present study concerns the safety evaluation of SefidRud dam's block No. 18 regarding probable crack propagation in the foundation gallery under a MCE record. Accordingly, a 3D finite element model of the block in companion with the reservoir and the foundation is modeled. All the associated thermal and structural parameters are derived via calibration with the records of thermometers and pendulums installed inside the dam body. The origination of the cracks and their whereabouts are determined by primary thermal and static analyses and through a linear dynamic analysis the potential failure zone and their extent and level are studied. The foundation gallery is the most probable zone among the other intensive tensile stress area to compromise the dam stability. Therefore, the nonlinear analysis of this risky region is inevitable. The results depict the permissible expansion of the cracks inside the gallery even under another future earthquake in MCE level. As a consequence, the general dam performance is assessed safe in spite of the seepage flow rate growth from the gallery fractures.

Recently, the development of offshore wind farms based on past technical experiences from onshore wind turbine installations has become a worldwide issue. This study investigated the technical issues related to offshore wind farms and large-diameter monopiles from an economic perspective. In particular, the monopile foundation system (MFS), which is the most important part of the proposed fast construction system, is applied for the first time in Korea, and structural verification is essential because it supports large-diameter monopiles and is in charge of excavation. Therefore, in this study, a rapid construction system for large offshore wind power generators was introduced, and stability verification was performed through the structural analysis of the MFS.

Safety diagnosis was conducted to evaluate the long-term stability evaluation of power transmission tower of which deformation of the upper structural elements occurred. To assess the cause of the structural deformation, field investigation including BIPS, down-hole test, concrete pile coring and finite element analysis were carried out. From these studies, the major cause of deformation was found due to the heavily fractured layer and weathered soil topography at the pile tip area. The cement-milk grouting method was proposed to reinforce these weak zone around the pile tip area. Also, the increase of cross-section and stiffness for steel members of upper tower structures was suggested. Instrumental monitoring was proposed as well to verify reinforcing effect.

석션 케이슨은 설치 수심제한이 적고, 비교적 단순한 설치공정과 빠른 시공이 가능하기 때문에 해양 구조물용 앵커 및 기초형식으로 활용되고 있으며 그 적용이 점차 확대되고 있다. 석션 케이슨 기초의 설계는 지반의 지지력 및 안정성 검토가 중심이 되며, 관련 설계기준에서 해석 방법을 제시하고 있다. 반면, 케이슨의 구조적 안전성 분석은 방법이 정형화되지 않았으며 특히 케이슨에 작용하는 하중 모델링에 대한 명확한 산정 방법이 정립되지 않아 석션 케이슨 단면 설계에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 이론 및 수치적 침투해석을 통해 석션압에 의해 발생되는 케이슨 내외부의 간극수압 크기 및 분포를 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 구조해석에 적용할 수 있는 합리적인 하중 평가 방법을 제시하였다. 추가적으로 관입깊이, 투수계수의 이방성, 석션압 변화가 내외벽에 작용하는 간극수압에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

On the basis of the geological conditions of high and steep mountainous slope on which an exit portal of an express railway tunnel with a bridge-tunnel combination is to be built, the composite structure of the exit portal with a bridge abutment of the bridge-tunnel combination is presented and the stability of the slope on which the express railway portal is to be built is analyzed using three dimensional (3D) numerical simulation in the paper. Comparison of the practicability for the reinforcement of slope with in-situ bored piles and diaphragm walls are performed so as to enhance the stability of the high and steep slope. The safety factor of the slope due to rockmass excavation both inside the exit portal and beneath the bridge abutment of the bridge-tunnel combination has been also derived using strength reduction technique. The obtained results show that post tunnel portal is a preferred structure to fit high and steep slope, and the surrounding rock around the exit portal of the tunnel on the high and steep mountainous slope remains stable when rockmass is excavated both from the inside of the exit portal and underneath the bridge abutment after the slope is reinforced with both bored piles and diaphragm walls. The stability of the high and steep slope is principally dominated by the shear stress state of the rockmass at the toe of the slope; the procedure of excavating rockmass in the foundation pit of the bridge abutment does not obviously affect the slope stability. In-situ bored piles are more effective in controlling the deformation of the abutment foundation pit in comparison with diaphragm walls and are used as a preferred retaining structure to uphold the stability of slope in respect of the lesser time, easier procedure and lower cost in the construction of the exit portal with bridge-tunnel combination on the high and steep mountainous slope. The results obtained from the numerical analysis in the paper can be used to guide the structural design and construction of express railway tunnel portal with bridge-tunnel combination on high and abrupt mountainous slope under similar situations.
