This paper discusses some of the findings arising from long-term monitoring of the wind effects on a transmission tower located on an exposed site in South-West England. Site wind speeds have been measured, together with the foundation loads at the base of each of the four legs. The results show good correlation between the wind speeds and leg strains (loads) for a given wind direction, as expected, for wind speeds in excess of 10 m/s. Comparisons between the measured strains and those determined from the UK Code of Practice for lattice towers (BS8100), for the same wind speed and direction, show that the Code over-estimates most of the measured foundation loads by a moderate amount of about 14% at the higher wind speeds. This tends to confirm the validity of the Code for assessing design foundation loads. A finite element analysis model has been used to examine the dynamic behaviour of the tower and conductor system. This shows that, in the absence of the conductor, the tower alone has similar natural frequencies of approximately 2.2 Hz in the both the first (transversal) and second (longitudinal) modes, whilst for the complete system and conductor oscillations dominate, giving similar frequencies of approximately 0.1 Hz for both the first and second modes.

Once the foundation displacement of the transmission tower occurs, additional stress will be generated on the tower members, which will affect the seismic response of transmission tower-line systems (TTLSs). Furthermore, existing research has shown that the reciprocating slippage of joints needs to be considered in the seismic analysis. The hysteretic behavior of joints is obtained by model tests or numerical simulations, which leads to the low modeling efficiency of TTLSs. Therefore, this paper first utilized numerical simulation and model tests to construct a BP neural network for predicting the skeleton curve of joints, and then a numerical model for a TTLS considering the bolt slippage was established. Then, the seismic response of the TTLS under foundation displacement was studied, and the member stress changes and the failed member distribution of the tower were analyzed. The influence of foundation displacement on the seismic performance were discussed. The results showed that the trained BP neural network could accurately predict the hysteresis performance of joints. The slippage could offset part of the additional stress caused by foundation settlement and reduce the stress of some members when the TTLS with foundation settlement was under earthquakes. The failure members were mainly distributed at the diagonal members of the tower leg adjacent to the foundation settlement and that of the tower body. To accurately analyze the seismic performance of TTLSs, the influence of foundation displacement and the joint effect should be considered, and the BP neural network can be used to improve modeling efficiency.

Generally, in jack up rig design for harsh environment, its leg height is a major factor for achieving a sufficient serviceability & operability in terms of the worst environment and the workable depth. Due to difficulties in constructing such a high-slender leg, inaccessibility of yard fabrication equipment, etc. the construction of Jack up rig fur harsh deep sea has not been common. Method using heavy crawler crane, fabrication tower or extension by the floating crane vessel is still conventional construction but, considering high cost fur mobilizing heavy lift vessel (HLV) or additional marine work for implementing preload / full height test at sea, the ground-base construction is much advantageous. Air skidding method (ASM hereafter) is ground-based construction methodology, newly developed due to such requests. ASM could also be extended to similar engineering fields. This paper presents the operating sequence, design parameters and procedure which were verified through successful operation at the end of May 2002.

There are many theoretical analyses and experimental studies of the hydrodynamics for the tension leg platform (TLP) of a floating wind turbine. However, there has been little research on the arrangement of the TLP's internal structure. In this study, a TLP model and a 5-MW wind turbine model as proposed by the Minstitute of Technology and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have been adopted, respectively, to comprehensively analyze wind effects and wave and current combinations. The external additional coupling loads on the TLP and the effects of the loads on variables of the internal structure have been calculated. The study investigates preliminary layout parameters-namely, the thickness of the tension leg body, the contact mode of the top tower on the tension leg, the internal stiffening arrangement, and the formation of the spoke structure-and conducts sensitivity analyses of the TLP internal structure. Stress is found to be at a maximum at the top of the tension leg structure and the maximum stress has low sensitivity to the load application point. Different methods of reducing maximum stress have been researched and analyzed, and the effectiveness of these methods is analyzed. Filling of the spoke structure with concrete is discussed. Since the TLP structure for offshore wind power is still under early exploration, arrangements and the configuration of the internal structure, exploration and improvements are ongoing. With regard to its research and analysis process, this paper aims to guide future applications of tension leg structures for floating wind turbine.

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing the standing balance of independent ambulatory hemiparetic patients. The subjects of this study were 30 hemiparetic patients (18 males, 12 females) being treated as admitted or out patients at Severance Hospital Medical Center, all of whom agreed to participate in the study. In order to assure the statistical significance of the results, the paired t-test aid a Pearson's correlation were applied at the .05 level of significance. The results were as follows. 1. The difference in maintenance time of standing balance on a stable and unstable support surface was significant at the .05 level. 2. The difference in maintenance time of standing balance according to the control of visual and acoustic stimuli was significant at the .05 level. 3. The presence or absence of passive joint motion sense influenced the standing balance maintenance time. 4. There was no significant difference in the maintenance standing balance of the sound tower leg standing conditions according to spasticity, but the paretic lower leg standing conditions were significantly different (p<.05). This type of evaluation should be more widely used in the field of evaluating standing balance with hemiparetic patients. However, more extensive study and reports on various factors of standing balance are needed.

잭업드릴링 리그는 해양 석유와 가스 탐사 산업에서 널리 사용되는 모바일 해양 플랫폼이다. 그것은 시추 및 생산을 위한 캔틸레버 시추 장치가 있는 독립적인 3개의 다리가 있는 자체 승강식 장치이다. 전형적인 잭업리그는 삼각형 선체, 타워형 데릭, 캔틸레버, 잭케이스, 거주구와 다리로 구성되며 여기에는 스퍼드캔 구조, 개방형 트러스, X-교차 구조로 구성된다. 일반적으로 잭업리그는 수심 130m~170m에서만 운용이 되고 있다. 최근 들어 개발 유정이 심해로 이동하면서, 깊은 수심과 가혹한 환경조건을 만족해야 한다. 리그의 작업 상태에서 모든 정적, 동적 하중은 레그(Leg)를 통해서 지탱되는 특징이 있다. 이러한 리그의 중요한 이슈는 순간적으로 큰 충격에너지를 발생시키는 충돌에 대한 레그의 안전성이다. 본 연구에서는 LS-Dyna 프로그램을 이용하여 DNV 선급에서 규정하고 있는 충돌에너지 35MJ 요구사항에 대한 수치해석 및 검증을 수행하였다. 충돌 선박은 배수량 7,500톤 작업 지원선을 사용하였고, 5가지 충돌조건을 선정하였다. 해석결과로부터 모든 충돌조건은 선급 기준을 만족하지 못한다. 코드 방향 충돌조건은 충돌에너지 15MJ, 브레이스 충돌조건은 6MJ이 합리적이다. 따라서 충돌시나리오에 따른 합리적인 충돌에너지 기준의 제정이 필요로 하다.
