As a critical member of cable-stayed bridges, stay cables play on important role of supporting the entire structure. Traffic, wind or rain-wind induced vibrations of stay cables would be a major cause of degrading both safety and serviceability of the bridge. One of the effective alternatives to solve this problem is to employ the cable dampers. In order to design the cable damper optimally, it is necessary to exactly estimate the dynamic characteristics of the existing cables. To achieve more reliable dynamic properties of stay cables, precise excitations inducing forced vibration are needed. Therefore, in this study, a cable excitation system(exciter) controlled digitally was developed. And to evaluate the performance of the cable exciter developed, a solution of the differential equation of cable motion considering the exciter was derived, Using the cable exciter, sine sweeping and resonance tests on a cable model were carried out to obtain the dynamic characteristics effectively.

Korea Infrastructure Safety and Technology Corporation (KISTEC) specifies that the safety inspection and precise safety diagnosis of concrete structures shall be conducted in accordance with the 'Special Law on Safety Management of Infrastructure'. The detailed safety inspection and precise safety diagnosis guidelines presented by KISTEC, however, gives only the grade of members and structures, and thus it is impossible to quantify remaining service life (RSL) of the structures and to quantitatively reflect the effect of differential settlements on the RSL. Therefore, this study aims to develop a RSL evaluation model considering the differential settlements. To this end, a simple equation was proposed based on the correlations between differential settlements and angular distortion, by which the angular distortion of structures was then reflected in nominal strengths of structural members. In addition, the effects of the differential settlements on the RSL of structures were analyzed in detail by using the safety diagnosis results of actual concrete structure.

This study provides basic data on how stress impacts the processed convenience foods purchase attitudes and the selection attributes of housewives. The stress consists of 3 factors, which were housework stress, family relation stress and economic stress. The processed convenience food purchase attitude consisted of 2 factors, which were peripheral influence purchase and conviction purchase. The processed convenience food selection attribute consisted of 4 factors, which were quality, convenience, packaging and price. Factor loading confirmation and reliability test were conducted, and the reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's alpha coefficients for all the factors exceeding 0.5. The high stress levels showed significantly high stress factors of housework, family relations and economic stress (P<0.001). The high stress group was shown to make purchases by recognizing peripheral influences (P<0.01). When the selection properties of processed convenience foods depending on different stress levels were examined, it was revealed that among the three groups, the low stress group least considered the price aspect (P<0.01). After deducting the factors, AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structure) was used to conduct the confirmatory factor analysis for verifying validity. The structural equation model was used to determine the path coefficient. From the processed convenience foods purchase attitude, the peripheral influence purchase had significantly positive (+) effects on convenience (P<0.05). Also, conviction purchase was shown to have significantly positive (+) effects on quality (P<0.05). Housework and family relation stress were shown to have negative (-) effects on processed convenience foods selection attribute, and economic stress was shown to have positive (+) effects, although no significant relationships were revealed.

In this paper, the dependence of threshold voltage on the gate oxide thickness, which it mostly influenced on short channel effects in fabrication of FinFET, has been investigated. The transport model based on three dimensional Possion's equation has been used to analyze influence on gate oxide thickness. The gate oxide thickness is the most important factor to influence on the threshold voltage in nano structure FinFET. The potential distributions of this model are compared with those of three dimensional numerical simulation to verify this model. As a result, since potential model presented in this paper is good agreement with hree dimensional numerical model, the threshold voltage characteristics have been considered according to the gate oxide thickness of FinFET.

수력발전 사업에 있어 Desander 구조물은 주로 고산지대 수력발전댐의 Run-of-river 형식의 발전방식에서 유사로 인한 터빈의 손상을 방지하기 위한 목적으로 설치된다. Desander의 적정 규모는 터빈의 손상을 일으킬 수 있는 유사 입경에 대해 안정적으로 침전을 시킬 수 있는 폭/길이/깊이로 평가할 수 있으며 상대적으로 Desander의 규모가 크게 설계된 경우 초기 공사비 증가하고 반대로 규모가 작게 설계된 경우 터빈의 교체 주기 단축으로 인한 유지관리비가 증가된다. 현재까지 일반적인 Desander 구조물의 설계 방식은 제거 입경의 침전 속도, 유입유량 및 깊이를 변수로 사용하여 경험식(L. Sudry method, Guicciardis method 및 Rouse method)을 통해 규모를 결정해 왔다. 하지만, 3-D 전산유체해석을 통해 유속 흐름 분석으로 직 간접적 Desander 규모의 적정성을 평가할 수 있는 현 시점에서 경험식으로부터 도출된 결과의 신뢰성과 객관성을 검증할 필요가 있다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 노르웨이 NSTU에서 개발한 유사의 이송 및 확산해석 기능이 내장된 범용 소프트웨어인 SSIIM을 이용하였다. SSIIM(Simulation of Sediment movements In water Intakes with Multiblock)은 개수로 흐름 상태에서 유사 이동 및 하상 변동을 분석할 수 있도록 개발된 3-D 해석 프로그램이다. SSIIM은 수치해석 방법으로 유한체적법(Finite Volume Method)를 채택하였으며 Navier-Stokes equations을 통해 유체의 흐름을 해석한다. 입력 자료는 유입 유량($m^3/sec$), 유입 유사량(kg/sec), 유출부 수위 및 해당 Desander Structure grid 자료가 사용되며 해석 결과로 Desander 내 grid 별 유속, 수위, 유사 농도 변화 등을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 SSIIM을 이용하여 제거 목표 유사 입경의 차집 효율(Trap efficiency)로 Desander의 적정 규모를 평가 할 수 있는 설계법을 제안하며 설계 단계에서 결정되는 최소 제거유사 입자와 차집 효율에 의한 Desander의 적정 규모 평가 분석을 파키스탄 A 프로젝트를 대상으로 수행하였다. 연구 성과로 (1)SSIIM을 통해 해석된 차집 효율을 기초로 Desander의 적정 규모를 계획할 경우 경험적 방식에 비해 설계의 객관성과 신뢰성을 제고할 수 있으며 (2)3-D 수치해석을 통해 grid 별 유사농도를 확인 할 수 있어 Desander 형상과 규모에 대한 평가가 가능하다.

Various types of flow conditions are developed in the region just downstream of hydraulic structures such as weir and drop structures. One of distinct flow conditions occurred downstream of drop structures is the wave type flow with undular hydraulic jump formation. We present three-dimensional numerical simulations of a wave type flow formed downstream of a stepped weir which were experimentally investigated by Kang et al. (2010). The turbulent flow over the weir structure is modeling using the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) simulation employing the Spalart-Allmaras one equation model and the detached eddy simulation. Numerical modeling and the performance of turbulence modeling approaches are evaluated by comparing with the experimental measurements in terms of the free surface variation, the shapes and sizes of undular wave, roller near at free surface, recirculation zone near the channel bottom downstream of the structures, and streamwise velocity profiles at selected longitudinal locations.

Precise propulsion shafting alignment of ships is very important to prevent damage of its support bearings due to excessive reaction forces caused by hull deflection, forces acted on propeller and crankshaft, and so forth. In this paper, a new iterative shafting alignment calculation procedure considering the interaction between shaft deflection and oil film pressure of Sterntube Journal Bearing (SJB) bush with single or multiple slopes is proposed. The procedure is based on a pressure analysis to evaluate distributed equivalent support stiffness of SJB by solving Reynolds equation and a deflection analysis of shafting system by a finite element method based on Timoshenko beam theory. SJB is approximated with multi-point biaxial elastic supports equally distributed to its length. Their initial stiffness values are estimated from dynamic reaction force calculated by assuming SJB as single rigid support. Then, the shaft deflection and the support stiffness of SJB are sequentially and iteratively calculated by applying a criteria on deflection variation between sequential calculation results. To demonstrate validity and applicability of the proposed procedure for optimal slope design of SJB, numerical analysis results for a shafting system are described.

In the present study, a few of recently developed geostatistical models are comparatively studied. The models are two-point statistics based sequential indicator simulation (SISIM) and generalized coupled Markov chain (GCMC), multi-point statistics single normal equation simulation (SNESIM), and object based model of FLUVSIM (fluvial simulation) that predicts structures of target object from the provided geometric information. Out of the models, SNESIM and FLUVSIM require additional information other than conditioning data such as training map and geometry, respectively, which generally claim demanding additional resources. For the comparative studies, three-dimensional fluvial reservoir model is developed considering the genetic information and the samples, as input data for the models, are acquired by mimicking realistic sampling (i.e. random sampling). For SNESIM and FLUVSIM, additional training map and the geometry data are synthesized based on the same information used for the objective model. For the comparisons of the predictabilities of the models, two different measures are employed. In the first measure, the ensemble probability maps of the models are developed from multiple realizations, which are compared in depth to the objective model. In the second measure, the developed realizations are converted to hydrogeologic properties and the groundwater flow simulation results are compared to that of the objective model. From the comparisons, it is found that the predictability of GCMC outperforms the other models in terms of the first measure. On the other hand, in terms of the second measure, the both predictabilities of GCMC and SNESIM are outstanding out of the considered models. The excellences of GCMC model in the comparisons may attribute to the incorporations of directional non-stationarity and the non-linear prediction structure. From the results, it is concluded that the various geostatistical models need to be comprehensively considered and comparatively analyzed for appropriate characterizations.

The methods of the rational formula and Kajiyama formula have been widely used for estimating the peak flood for design to all kind of hydraulic structure. However, there are many limitations and we have to apply these methods to ungauged basin. These methods require to calculate the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) before determining the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Creager's method (Creager et al., 1945) is a kind of estimation of specipic flood and this method provided nonlinear equations based on relationship between the drainage area and PMF in order to calculate the PMF of multipurpose dams over medium-sized. But this method has not much applied in Korea. Creager's coefficient is not clear about its application because this method has never been applied to dams in Korea. Based on the PMP for rainfull-runoff models with the PMF of small and larger dams in this research, the range and standard of Creager's coefficients with parameters are proposed to apply basin areas in Korea.
