Experimental study on strength characteristics of frozen soils is necessary for the safety evaluation of design and construction in cold region. The objective of this study is to evaluate the direct shear strength of frozen soils obtained from traditional system (Type-1), system with roller on the upper shear box (Type-2), and system with fixed upper shear box separated from bottom shear box (Type-3). Specimens mixed with sand, silt, and water are frozen to $-5^{\circ}C$, and then direct shear tests are conducted under the normal stress of 5, 10, 25, and 50 kPa. Experimental results show that the upper shear box of Type-1 touches the bottom shear box due to the rotation of the upper shear box. The shear strength obtained from Type-2 is overestimated because the preventing rotation force is added to shear force. Type-3 may acquire the only strength of the specimen, and shear strain at peak shear strength is similar to that at the beginning of vertical displacement occurrence. In addition, internal friction angle and cohesion at both peak and residual stresses in Type-3 are smaller than those of Type-2. This study shows that high strength specimens including frozen soils can be effectively evaluated using improved shear box system such as Type-3.

A strength and durability estimation system of involute cylindrical gears which are commonly used as power transmission devices is developed on the personal computer, which analyzed and/or evaluates the gear design and the service performance at the point of view of strength and durability. The typical considerations are the bending strength and the sunface durability, and the strength and durability estimations are carried out using the reliable standards of AGMA&ISO. In addition, the finite element analysis (FEM) of tooth bending stress is conducted in order to compare the real maximum stress with the estimaed bending stress by the standard. Therefore, the system is built so that the variables or factors considered differently in those standards and the strength & durability are appraised seperately by each method, and a series of the estimation processes is integrated into the system can be used in the initial design at the view point of strength and durability. And it is useful to the purpose of the trouble-shooting of gear system and the purpose of introducing the methods for maintaining design strength in service, with appraising the strength and durability after design or with appraising the influencing factors, as a whole. Therefore, this strength and durability estimation system can help the aim of automatic design of cylindrical gears.

Generally, a safety estimation based on the buckling strength is carried out to evaluate the strength of plate members in the design process of ship hull structures and more accurate and efficient tool for the buckling strength estimation of enormous plate members of ship structure is naturally demended for saving design process. While, in the reason that the design codes of classification societies do not consider the various effects or include some effects roughly, considerate safe side results are suggested occasionally. In this study, advanced buckling strength estimation system prepared various classification buckling evaluation codes and new evaluation code considering the effects of in-plane tension, plate boundary condition, lateral load & residual stress is developed using the window management system of engineering workstation. Additionally maximum deflection estimation formula is equipped for the increase of fabrication reliability of thin plate ship structure. From this evaluation system, more reliable buckling safety of plate panel will be guaranteed in the ship hull design stage. In order to expand the use of this system pc version system will be developed sooner or later.

본 연구에서는 강우 시 발생하는 음향 및 진동 신호를 기반으로 강우강도를 산정하기 위한 방법론을 제안하였다. 먼저, Raspberry Pi, 콘덴서 마이크 및 가속도 센서로 구성된 관측 기기로부터 실제 비가 내리는 환경에서의 음향 및 진동 신호를 수집하였다. 가속도 센서로부터 계측된 진동 신호를 활용하여 강우 유무에 대한 이진 분류를 수행하고, 강우가 발생한 것으로 판단된 기간에 해당하는 음향 신호에 Short-Time Fourier Transform 기술을 적용하여 주파수 영역에서 나타나는 magnitude의 평균과 표준 편차, 최고 주파수 등의 특징을 기반으로 강우강도를 산정하였다. 이를 위해 앙상블 기반의 머신러닝 학습 모델인 XGBoost 알고리즘을 사용하였으며, 광학 우적계를 통해 관측한 강우강도와 산정 결과를 비교·평가하였다. 강우강도 산정 과정에서 사용된 음향 신호의 길이를 1초, 10초, 1분으로 구분하였으며, 무강우 기간 내 음향 정보로부터 배경 음향에 의한 노이즈를 제거하고자 하였다. 최종적으로 강우 유무 이진 분류 과정의 선행 여부, 음향 신호의 길이 및 노이즈 제거 방법에 따른 강우강도 산정 결과들에 대한 성능 비교를 통해 본 연구에서 제안하고자 하는 방법론의 실효성을 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 유/무선 임피던스 계측을 통하여 현장 타설 콘크리트의 강도 발현 모니터링 기법을 개발하였다. 최근 많이 사용되고 있는 고강도 콘크리트의 경우 강도 발현이 제대로 되지 않으면 건설 중 취성 파괴가 일어날 우려가 있으므로 현장에서의 강도 발현 모니터링이 중요시 되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 콘크리트 강도 평가 방법은 고가의 장비가 필요하거나 복잡한 수학식을 통하여 이루어 졌기에 현장에서는 효율적으로 사용되기 힘들었다. 이에 압전 센서 기반 임피던스 측정을 통하여 콘크리트의 강도 발현을 모니터링하는 기법을 제안하였다. 구조물의 임피던스는 구조물 손상이나 강도 변화와 같은 구조물의 물성 변화 발생 시 공진주파수가 이동하는 특징이 있다. 이를 기반으로 콘크리트 구조물의 공진주파수 변화를 관찰하여 대상 구조물의 강도를 모니터링하는 기법을 개발하였으며 유/무선 임피던스 계측을 동시에 실시하여 무선 임피던스 측정의 유효성을 평가하였다. 그리고 고강도 콘크리트에서의 적용을 평가하기 위하여 설계 강도 30MPa, 100MPa의 콘크리트에 대하여 유/무선 임피던스 측정을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 본 논문에서는 무선 임피던스 계측을 이용하여 접근하기 어려운 곳이나 케이블 연결이 어려운 곳에서도 실시간으로 구조물의 강도 발현 모니터링이 가능한 시스템을 제안하였다.

Compressive strength in concrete has many affecting parameters and varies with exposure conditions. Although the concrete has same mix proportions, its properties are different with exposure conditions, and sea-environment can be classified into three groups such as tidal, atmospheric, and sea submerged region particularly. In this study, compressive strength was evaluated on 7-year-cured concrete and the results from previous equations (KDS, ACI, CEB, and JSCE) were compared with them. Furthermore the strength and carbonation progress were evaluated on concrete cured for 7 years exposed to three different sea environment. Three levels of w/c (water to cement) ratio (0.37, 0.42, and 0.47) and three different exposure conditions (tidal, atmospheric, and submerged) were considered. The results from wet-cured condition are all higher than those from the previously proposed equations, and the results from different sea exposure conditions (tidal, atmospheric, and submerged region) were lower than those from wet-cured condition. A reduction of strength was evaluated with increasing w/c ratio and the minimum strength was evaluated in the sea-submerged conditions. Several experimental constants applicable to the previous equations were obtained from regression analysis since the strength change with w/c ratios were not considered in those equations. Regarding carbonation depth with different exposure conditions, higher carbonation depth clearly was observed with increasing w/c ratios, and evaluated in the order of atmospheric, submerged, and tidal region. Considerable carbonation depth was observed in submerged and tidal region due to sulfate ion and dissloved carbon dioxide as well.

Ferronickel slag, which is an industrial byproduct, is activated by mechanochemical reaction as a nonferrous metal and can be used as an admixture. Therefore, ferronickel slag is used as a substitute resource of admixture. In this study, to evaluate the effect of mixed of ferronickel slag powder and admixture, a mortar using a mixture of ferronickel slag powder, quicklime, gypsum and calcium chloride was fabricated by vibrated and rolled manufacturing method. Strength were evaluated by flexural and compressive strength tests, and durability was evaluated by performing chlorine ion penetration resistance and chemical resistance test. When the substitution ratio of ferronickel slag powder is constant, it is considered that the mixed use of quicklime, gypsum and calcium chloride as admixtures increases the performance.

The actual hysteretic behavior of structural elements and systems is smooth. Smooth hysteretic behavior is more representative of actual behavior than bi-linear or piece-wise linear stiffness degrading models. The strength reduction factor in seismic design is used to reduce the elastic strength demand to design levels. In this study, the effect of smoothness on the strength reduction factor is evaluated for several smooth hysteretic systems subjected to near-fault and far-fault earthquakes. For design purposes, a simple expression of the strength reduction factor considering hysteretic smoothness and earthquake characteristics, represented as near-fault and far-fault earthquakes, is proposed. The strength reduction factors calculated by the proposed simple formulation are more similar to the factors directly obtained from inelastic response spectrum analyses than those calculated by several existing formulas.
