To improve the seismic behavior of composite column with high strength concrete-filled steel tubular in bridge engineering, four column specimens, including one specimen with vertical prestressing force and three specimens with tri-directional prestressing force, were conducted under low cyclic loading. Test parameters including axial compression ratio, degree of vertical prestressing and existence of prestressed steel strips were emphatically analyzed. Experimental results revealed that applying tri-directional prestressing force to column with high strength concrete-filled steel tubular produced more beneficial behavior in terms of ductility, energy-dissipation and self-centering capacity over that of specimens only with vertical prestress. Moreover, ultimate bearing capacity of composite column was improved with increase of degree of vertical prestress and external axial force, while ductility would be reduced. External axial force showed slight influence on the self-centering behavior. Finally, a calculation equation for predicting the shear capacity of the tri-directional prestressed composite column was proposed and the accuracy of the calculated results validated by experimental data.

본 논문에서는 3축 가속도 센서를 소형 디바이스(활동량 측정기)로 구성하고 이를 사람의 신체에 착용하고 사람이 보행 시 발생하는 가속도 센서의 Raw 데이터 출력 값을 획득하여 실시간 활동량으로 변환하고 모니터링 할 수 있는 활동량 측정기와 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 피험자 59명을 대상으로 트레드밀(Treadmill)에서 호흡가스대사분석기(K4B2), Actical 그리고 본 연구에서 개발된 활동량 측정기를 착용 후 36분 동안 테스트 프로토콜에 따라 다양한 속력의 걸음(느리게 걷기, 걷기, 빠르게 걷기, 천천히 뛰기, 뛰기, 빠르게 뛰기)에 대해서 실험을 하였다. 가속도 센서의 출력 데이터와 피험자 정보를 이용하여 에너지소비량(Energy Expenditure :EE)을 추정하는 회귀식을 도출하였으며 이는 실험시 같이 착용한 Actical보다 제안하는 활동량 변환 알고리즘의 성능이 1.61% 향상 되었다.

천연가스 생산기지 내의 UPS시스템은 지진 시에도 기능성을 유지해야 하는 주요 설비 중 하나이다. 이 연구에서는 IEEE Std 693-2005 기준을 토대로 대형 진동대를 이용한 UPS시스템의 동특성 탐색시험을 수행하고 기기의 고유진동수와 모드감쇠, 모드형상 등을 도출하였다. 또한, 3축 시간이력시험을 통해 지진 시 기기의 거동 및 부재의 발생응력을 확인하였다. 유한요소모델을 생성하여 고유치해석을 수행하고 이를 동특성 탐색시험의 시험값과 비교, 분석하여 해석모델을 개선하고 자중해석과 응답스펙트럼 해석을 수행하여 조합응력을 3축 시간이력시험의 시험값과 비교하였다. 개선된 유한요소 해석모델의 동특성과 조합응력이 시험 결과와 유사함을 입증하여 개선된 UPS시스템 해석모델의 적합성을 제시하였다.

Recently, experimental and theoretical studies about nonlinear behavior of large concrete structures are in progress. The purpose of this study is to describe the nonlinear behavior of a concrete specimen under compression using several plastic models and to choose the best plastic model for later use in numerical analyses of concrete structures. ABAQUS is a general-purpose FEM program and we tested all suitable embedded material models for concrete. To verify the effectiveness of nonlinear analyses, results were compared with uniaxial and triaxial compression test results.

제안된 모델은 FRP 구속 콘크리트에 대한 압축거동 예측을 위한 것이다. FRP로 구속된 콘크리트의 모델링을 위하여, 3축 응력상태의 콘크리트 아탄성 구성관계를 제시하였다. FRP 구속에 따른 콘크리트 강도 증진은 3축 응력공간의 파괴기준에 따라 결정되며, 이에 대응하는 최대 압축변형률은 본 연구에서 제안된 변형률 증진계수로부터 결정된다. 따라서, 기존의 모델들이 하중단계에 관계없이 구속조건이 초기부터 파괴까지 일정하게 고려되는 반면에, 제안된 모델은 FRP로 구속된 콘크리트의 구속현상을 하중단계에 의존적인 비선형 관계로 제시하였다. FRP 층은 2차원의 적층된 복합재료의 해석에 기초하여 모델링되었다. 개발된 해석모델은 증분법에 의한 압축거동실험에 대한 해석을 수행할 수 있도록 하였다. FRP로 구속된 콘크리트 실린더의 대한 여러 연구자들의 실험 결과와 본 예측모델을 비교한 결과, 제안된 모델은 축방향 변형 뿐만 아니라 횡방향 변형을 포함하여 FRP 층으로 인한 콘크리트의 구속효과의 증진에 관한 거동 특성들을 잘 예측해 주었다.

최근 들어 산업부산물인 저회를 지반 매립재로 활용하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 5개 사에서 채취된 저회와 풍화토 혼합하여, 3가지 저회의 혼합비 (30%, 50%, 70%)에 따른 다짐실험, CBR 실험 및 삼축 압축실험 등이 수행되었다. 실험 결과, 저회를 혼입한 혼합토의 CBR값은 20을 상회하였으며, 소성을 보이지 않아 성토재료로 사용이 가능할 것으로 평가되었다. 혼합토에 사용된 저회의 역학적 성능이 풍화토보다 우수하므로, 혼합비가 증가할수록 혼합토의 CBR값은 뚜렷한 증가를 나타내었다. 그러나, 배합후 입자배열에는 큰 영향을 주지 못하므로, 혼합비에 따른 내부마찰각 및 점착력의 변화는 뚜렷하게 평가되지 못했다. 저회는 시료 자체의 강성이 있으므로, 지지력이 풍화토에 비하여 크게 평가되었으며, 성토재료로서의 활용할 수 있음을 실험적으로 규명하였다.

In the case of nuclear power plants near end of their design life, a reassessment of the performance of safetyrelated equipment may be necessary to determine whether to shut down or extend the operation of the power plant. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the level of performance decline due to degradation. Electrical cabinets, including MCC and switchgear, are representative safety-related equipment. Several studies have assessed the degradation and seismic performance of nuclear power plant equipment. Most of those researches are limited to individual components due to the size of safety-related equipment and test equipment. However, only a few studies assessed the degradation performance of electrical cabinets. The equipment of various nuclear power plants is anchored to concrete foundations, and crack in concrete foundations is one of the most representative of degradation that could be visually confirmed. However, it is difficult to find a study for analysis through testing the effect of cracks in concrete foundations on the response of electrical cabinet internal equipment fixed by anchors. In this study, using a simple cabinet model considering cast-in-place anchor in uncracked and cracked concretes, a tri-axial shaking table tests were performed and the seismic behavior were observed.

In this paper, a wireless sensing system for structural field evaluation and rating of bridges is presented. The system uses a wireless platform integrated with traditional analogue sensors including strain gages and accelerometers along with the operating software. A wireless vehicle position indicator is developed using a tri-axial accelerometer node that is mounted on the test vehicle, and was used for identifying the moving truck position during load testing. The developed software is capable of calculating the theoretical bridge rating factors based on AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Rating specifications, and automatically produces the field adjustment factor through load testing data. The sensing system along with its application in bridge deck rating was successfully demonstrated on the Evansville Bridge in West Virginia. A finite element model was conducted for the test bridge, and was used to calculate the load distribution factors of the bridge deck after verifying its results using field data. A confirmation field test was conducted on the same bridge and its results varied by only 3% from the first test. The proposed wireless sensing system proved to be a reliable tool that overcomes multiple drawbacks of conventional wired sensing platforms designed for structural load evaluation of bridges.

Non-structural elements are vulnerable to earthquake ground motion. In this study, an experimental study for the electrical non-structural element was performed using tri-axial shaking table tests. A 100kVA UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply system) was used as the test specimen. The test specimen was anchored to the concrete slab using the conventional installation detail. The input acceleration were generated in accordance with ICC-ES AC156 code. Scale factors of the input acceleration with respect to the required response spectrum defined in ICC-ES AC156 were from 25% to 600%. Based on the test results, damage and dynamic characteristics of UPS were evaluated and analyzed including natural frequency, damping ratio, acceleration time history response, dynamic amplification factor and relative displacement.
