The scaled-boundary finite element method is a novel semi-analytical technique, combining the advantages of the finite element and the boundary element methods with unique properties of its own. The method works by weakening the governing differential equations in one coordinate direction through the introduction of shape functions, then solving the weakened equations analytically in the other (radial) coordinate direction. These coordinate directions are defined by the geometry of the domain and a scaling centre. This paper presents a general development of the scaled boundary finite-element method for two-dimensional problems where two boundaries of the solution domain are similar. Unlike three-dimensional and axisymmetric problems of the same type, the use of logarithmic solutions of the weakened differential equations is found to be necessary. The accuracy and efficiency of the procedure is demonstrated through two examples. The first of these examples uses the standard finite element method to provide a comparable solution, while the second combines both solution techniques in a single analysis. One significant application of the new technique is the generation of transition super-elements requiring few degrees of freedom that can connect two regions of vastly different levels of discretisation.

Foam ceramic materials contribute to the explosion effect weakening on concrete structures, due to the corresponding excellent energy absorption ability. The blast resistance of concrete members could be improved through steel-foam ceramics as protective cladding layers. An approach for the modeling of dynamic response of steel-foam ceramic protected reinforced concrete (Steel-FC-RC) slabs under blast loading was presented with the LS-DYNA software. The orthogonal analysis (five factors with five levels) under three degrees of blast loads was conducted. The influence rankings and trend laws were further analyzed. The dynamic displacement of the slab bottom was significantly reduced by increasing the thickness of steel plate, foam ceramic and RC slab, while the displacement decreased slightly as the steel yield strength and the compressive strength of concrete increased. However, the optimized efficiency of blast resistance decreases with factors increase to higher level. Moreover, an efficient design method was reported based on the orthogonal analysis.

The study aims to investigate the pounding that occurs between the isolator's ring and slider of isolated structures resulting from excessive seismic excitation, while considering soil-structure interaction. The dynamic responses and poundings of structures subjected a series seismic records were comparatively analyzed for three different soil types and fixed-base structures. A series of parametric studies were conducted to thoroughly discuss the effects of the impact displacement ratio, the FPB friction coefficient ratio, and the radius ratio on the structural dynamic response when considering impact and SSI. It was found that the pounding is extremely brief, with an exceptionally large pounding force generated by impact, resulting in significant acceleration pulse. The acceleration and inter-story shear force of the structure experiencing pounding were greater than those without considering pounding. Sudden changes in the inter-story shear force between the first and second floors of the structure were also observed. The dynamic response of structures in soft ground was significantly lower than that of structures in other ground conditions under the same conditions, regardless of the earthquake wave exciting the structure. When the structure is influenced by pulse-type earthquake records, its dynamic response exhibits a trend of first intensifying and then weakening as the equivalent radius ratio and friction coefficient ratio increase. However, it increases with an increase in the pounding displacement ratio, equivalent radius ratio, friction coefficient ratio, and displacement ratio when the structures are subjected to non-pulse-type seismic record.

철근콘크리트 구조물은 시간의 흐름과 환경의 변화에 의하여 노후화 및 부실화가 진행된다. 따라서 강도와 사용성이 저하되고, 결국에는 구조물 수명의 단축은 물론, 안전성도 줄어든다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 성능저하로 안전성이 떨어진 구조물의 내하력을 증진시키고, 기존 공법보다 내구성을 향상시켜서 구조물의 수명을 증가시키는 보강공법을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 보강재 양을 쉽게 조절할 수 있고 기존 콘크리트 구조물과 보강재를 일체화시킴으로서 하중재하 시에 보강재와 기존 콘크리트가 같이 거동할 수 있도록 진공함침을 이용하는 보강공법을 개발하였다. 휨 실험의 경우, 진공함침으로 2겹에 해당하는 보강, 섬유시트 2겹 보강, 진공함침으로 1겹 에 해당하는 보강, 섬유시트 1겹 보강, 무보강한 실험체의 순으로 최대강도를 보였다. 또한, 섬유보강재가 열악한 환경에 노출되었을 때의 내구성에 대한 확인결과, 모든 환경에 대한 잔류 인장강도가 90% 이상을 상회하였다. 이는 본 연구에 사용된 섬유보강재가 열악한 환경에 대해 저항성이 우수하기 때문으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 원주형 절취 독본(dogbonc) 내진 접합부 도입에 따른 철골모멘트골조의 횡강성 감소 정도를 용이하게 산정할 수 있는 실용적 해석기법을 제안하였다. 된 연구의 방안은 원래의 원주형 절취 형상의 독본에서 발생하는 신장량과 동일한 크기의 신장량이 유발되도록 등가의 균등한 유효폭을 갖는 독본 형상으로 치환하는 것에 근거하고 있다. 등가 유효폭을 도입하는 목적은 공액보법을 적용하여 보의 휨변형에 의한 골조의 횡변위 성분을 유도할 때 수행되는 전분을 해석적으로 하기 위함이다. 이러한 접근법의 타당성을 먼저 검증된 유한요소해석모델에 의해 확인한 후, 기둥, 패널존 그리고 보의 변형에서 기인하는 골조의 횡변위 성분을 독본의 존재를 고려하여 해석적으로 유도하였다. 이 유도결과를 이용한 사례분석에 의할 때, 독본의 도입에 따른 횡변위 증가율은 2%∼3%(횡강성 감소율로는 1%∼2%) 정도로서 실무적으로 무시할 수 있는 크기로 나타났다.

This study examines work and family life of married women employed in a manufacturing industry. Data were gathered from the use of fact-to-face interview method from a sample of 230 married working women. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows : (1) With high rates of change of job, most of the respondents remain unstable in their working situation. It was shown that the important factors influencing job satisfaction of married women are women's life cycle, degree of contribution of wife's income toward total family income, and husband's attitude toward wife's empolyment. The degree of job satisfaction is also strongly influenced by labor structural factors such as pay, work environment and fringe benefits. (2) The amount of household labor time was limited by job-related factors rather than by family-related factors, because among these working women employment itself is necessarily for their subsistance. (3) It was shown that wives participated more actively in their marital communications than their husbands. Most of the respondents showed the syncratic type of the decision making patterns, but this results does not necessarily mean wives exercised an equal power with their husbands. The economic factors and the emotional instability of the husband are the ones mostly influencing marital conflicts of the employed women. It was found that the respondents easily revealed marital conflicts related to personal problems of their husbands(such as extramarital affairs, gambling and alchoholism). However, they tried to overcome the structural conflicts related to authoritarian attitudes of their husbands or economic problems without any complaints. (4) Mothers have difficulty in controlling their adolescent children, due to the weakening of parental authority. Although most of the respondents perceived their employment as having negative impacts on their children, they still have high expectations toward their children. Inspite of low degree of father role expectations and facther role performance of their husbands, most of the respondents anticipated expressive roles as well as traditionally instrumental role from their husbands. Finally, these findings would help us determine family welfare policies in Korea. Improvements in paid and household labor structure of married women should be accomplished at the national level. Also, the acting programs for parent education, marital councelling services, and law enforcement for equal employment between men and women should be provided in our society.

The army is concerned about the decrease in enlistment resources due to the low birth rate and the weakening of military combat power due to the shortening of the military service period. Now, the military's quantitative growth is no longer limited and it is a time for qualitative growth. To this end, the Army has been applying the Israeli learning method Havruta to recruit training to improve the quality of training since 2019. After applying Havruta, several scholars have studied the effect of recruit training applying Havruta. As a result, it was verified that recruit training applying Havruta improves the inner motive, creativity, and military service value of trainees. This study investigated how trainees' inner motive, creativity, and military service value affect their satisfaction and achievement. In addition, it was studied whether the effect of recruit training applied with Havruta on achievement differs according to the educational background (high school graduate or higher) and military family (professional soldiers within 4th degree) of the trainees. To this end, a survey was conducted on 472 recruits, and the structural relationship between each variable and the moderating effect were analyzed using the structural equation model. As a result of the study, military service value did not affect training satisfaction. Also, there was a difference in the effect of creativity on training satisfaction according to the educational background of new recruits, and there was a difference in the effect of military service value on training satisfaction and training achievement according to military family members. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the improvement of the army's recruit training development plan and effective training system.

Concrete carbonation is a prevalent phenomenon that leads to steel reinforcement corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, thereby decreasing their service life as well as durability. The process of carbonation results in a lower pH level of concrete, resulting in an acidic environment with a pH value below 12. This acidic environment initiates and accelerates the corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete, rendering it more susceptible to damage and ultimately weakening the overall structural integrity of the RC system. Lower pH values might cause damage to the protective coating of steel, also known as the passive film, thus speeding up the process of corrosion. It is essential to estimate the carbonation factor to reduce the deterioration in concrete structures. A lot of work has gone into developing a carbonation model that is precise and efficient that takes both internal and external factors into account. This study presents an ML-based adaptive-neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) approach to predict the carbonation depth of fly ash (FA)-based concrete structures. Cement content, FA, water-cement ratio, relative humidity, duration, and CO2 level have been used as input parameters to develop the ANFIS model. Six performance indices have been used for finding the accuracy of the developed model and two analytical models. The outcome of the ANFIS model has also been compared with the other models used in this study. The prediction results show that the ANFIS model outperforms analytical models with R-value, MAE, RMSE, and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency index values of 0.9951, 0.7255 mm, 1.2346 mm, and 0.9957, respectively. Surface plots and sensitivity analysis have also been performed to identify the repercussion of individual features on the carbonation depth of FA-based concrete structures. The developed ANFIS-based model is simple, easy to use, and cost-effective with good accuracy as compared to existing models.

투수성 포장은 도시에서 불투수면 증가에 따라 발생하는 환경문제에 대응하기 위한 대표적인 저영향개발 (Low-Impact Development, LID) 기법의 하나이다. 도시의 도로가 투수성 포장으로 바뀐다면 도시의 불투수면이 약 절반으로 줄어들고, 더 나가 지붕으로부터의 강수 유출까지 수용할 수 있다면 도로는 도시 물 순환 문제의 원인자에서 해결자로 전환될 수 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 경험과 인식의 부족으로 투수성 포장을 적용하는 경우가 거의 없는 실정이다. 도로 포장을 설계, 시공 및 관리하는 도로 기술자는 전통적으로 포장 구조에 물이 들어가는 것을 피하려 하고, 수자원 전문가는 투수성 포장의 도시홍수 저감효과에 대해서 의문을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 국내외의 다양한 연구 결과를 검토하여 투수성 포장에 대한 역사와 최신 기술을 분석하였다. 최신의 투수성 포장 기술을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 투수성 포장은 기존의 방법대로 설계해도 노상 약화와 동결 융해로 인한 구조적인 문제가 없다. 둘째, 투수성 포장의 저수층 두께의 조절로 도시수문 설계에 직접 반영할 수 있다. 셋째, 기존의 다른 비점오염 처리시설에 비하여 수질처리 효과가 떨어지지 않는다. 특히 투수성 포장은 겨울철 제설제 사용을 저감하여 보다 친환경적이다.
