In most seismic codes such as the Uniform Building Code(UBC), the response modification factor(or the force reduction factor)is used to reflect the capability of a structure in dissipating energy through inelastic behavior. The response modification factor is assigned according to structural system type. Ductile systems such as special moment-resisting steel frames are assigned larger values of the response modification factor, and are consequently designed for smaller seismic design forces. Therefore, structural damage may occur during a severe earthquake. To ensure safety of the structures, the suitability of the response modification factor used in aseismic design procedures shall be evaluated. The object of this study is to develop a method for the evaluating of the response modification factor. The validity of the evaluating method has been examined for several cases of different structures and different earthquake excitations.

최근 폭발 등 극한하중에 대한 관심의 증대와 함께 방폭 및 연쇄붕괴방지를 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 폭발하중하의 강구조물의 손상도와 저항성능을 수치적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 구조물의 폭발피해경감을 위해 가장 중요한 구조부재인 기둥을 대상으로 폭발물과 구조물과의 이격거리를 달리하여 폭발하중을 적용하였다. 유한요소해석을 수행한 결과를 토대로 기둥의 손상도와 잔여압축강도를 비교하고 관계를 도출하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 폭발에 의해 기둥이 손상된 경우 구조물 전체의 연쇄붕괴저항성능에의 손상된 기둥의 기여도를 평가하는 것이다.

According to previous research, welding-induced residual stresses in steel structures can significantly affect the fatigue behaviour. Usually, high tensile residual stresses up to the yield strength are conservatively assumed at the weld toes. This conservative assumption can result in misleading fatigue assessments. Thee welding-induced residual stresses need be known in advance for a reliable fatigue assessment, which becomes possible to an increasing extent by numerical welding simulation. In this study, a fatigue Analysis technique for steel structures with welding induced residual stress is presented. First, We calculate the history of temperature according with welding process. Secondly, residual stress with a welding thermal history was evaluated by non-linear thermal stress analysis and lastly, fatigue strength is estimated with modified Goodman equation which can consider the effect of mean stress level.

This study presents a new method to derive the constraint coefficient from the degree of angular deformation caused by welding, as measured experimentally by varying the shape of welded joints and the magnitude of constraints and from analysis results given by the elastic FEM method. The equivalent load was then calculated with this constraint coefficient. The validity of the numerical analysis involved in this new method was confirmed by its agreement with the experimental results. As for the effects of the constraints based on the shape of the welded joints in the case of Butt welding when the constraint coefficients are not considered, the deformed quantity produced by analysis is larger that produced by experiment and consequently is largely affected by the constraints. However, in the case of Fillet welding, the deformed quantity is seldom affected regardless of constraint coefficient considerations.

A fire disaster is very serious in the closing space like subway station. In this study, the simulation on fire diffusion is performed to get the temperature history curve, which is used for the fire resisting structural analysis. Most of subway stations are built by the reinforced concrete structure, but recently steel structures are selected for the larger space or beauty. Steel structures relatively have more weaknesses against fire, so it is necessary to develop the method for evaluating fire-resisting capacity in this kind of structures. The developed method is applied to the subway station in Daegu city. It shows that the developed method can be used to simulate the fire disaster and to get the temperature history curve and evaluate the safety of steel structures against the fire.

In this study, three most distinct types of general rigid connections are included in the modelling, with is implemented into a computer code. The cost, functions of connections are constructed by using the estimated unit cost of bolting, welding and connection-steel elements incorporating all the effect of materials, labor, and fabrication work. Bused on the recent developments of the reliability-based structural analysis and design as well as the extending knowledge on the probabilistic characteristics of load and resistances, the probability based design criteria have been successfully developed for many standards. Since the probabilistic characteristics depend highly on the local load and resistances, it is recognized to develop the design criterion compatible with domestic requirements. The existing optimum design methods, which are generally based on the structural theory and certain engineering experience, do not realistically consider the uncertainties of load and resistances and the basic reliability concepts.

일반적으로 부식된 부재의 두께를 측정하는 데는 많은 불확실성이 존재하며, 부식의 진행정도에 따라 부재의 부식 두께는 측정 위치마다 다르므로, 기존의 신뢰성 해석 방법을 사용하여 모든 불확실성을 고려한 정량적인 안전도를 평가하는 것은 실질적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 불확실 신뢰도 기법을 적용한 안전도 분석 절차를 제안하였으며, 효율성과 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 국내 공용중인 사장교에 적용하였다. 심하게 부식된 부재의 잔존 두께의 불확실성은 부식이 진행되는 정도에 따라 증가하므로 부재의 부식 두께를 불확실 정도로 표현되는 불확실 구간으로 표현하였으며, 기존의 신뢰성 기법과 불확실 신뢰도 기법의 비교를 수행하였다. 이러한 불확실 신뢰도 기법은 주관적이거나 조건부 독립에 대한 통계적 판단을 이용하여, 부식된 구조물의 안전도 평가나 위험도 평가를 하는 경우에 유용하여 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 선형이론에 기반한 상용코드를 이용하여 불규칙파중에서 다점계류중인 해양구조물의 계류력과 운동응답특성을 추정하였다. 경험적인 실험에 의존했던 방법의 병행하여 해를 갖을 필요성을 인식하지만 초기설계단계에서 계류력의 추정과 설치해역의 자연환경조건에서 해양구조물의 생명주기에 대한 추정을 하는 것은 충분한 의미를 가질 수 있다. 설치해역은 연안해역의 환경조건을 적용하였으며 해석대상은 길이 200미터, 폭 30미터 높이 10미터의 강구조물에 대해서 선정하였다. 해석결과 대형구조물의 운동응답은 계류삭과 현수선의 의존도가 높게 나타났다. 불규칙 파랑하중에 대한 종횡강도에 대한 추가연구가 필요하다.

The team mixed PbO, $ZrO_2$, $TiO_2$, $Nb_2O_5$ and $MnCO_3$, to make $Pb[(Zr_{0.54}\;Ti_{0.46})\;Nb_{0.005}]O_3+4%MnCO_3$. The electroded PZT ceramics were poled by 3 kV/mm at $110^{\circ}C$ for 600 s. We assembled the 0.4mm thick PZT slices into ultrasonic transducers. Central frequency of the probe is 5 MHz, which is proper to the thickness gauge for steel pipes and for flaw detector. The probe can detect a disk shape defect of 1mm diameter at 15cm deep in steel block. The new probe's Fresnel zone that the ultrasonic beam do not broaden is 13mm. Over the Fresnel zone, the ultrasonic beam spreads. Half of the beam spread angle of the probe is $4.3^{\circ}-4.6^{\circ}$. This probe can be used for the ultrasonic transducers for non-destructive testing of steel bridges.
