This study provides floor vibration analysis for a factory constructed by ES-beam using field measured acceleration data. The natural frequencies of the first two modes of floor are extracted from measured data. With this information, a system identification has been performed to produce a numerical model representing existing floor. The peak magnitudes of acceleration for one man walking heel drop load from experiment and numerical model are analyzed using ISO vibration criteria and AIJ vibration performance criteria. The results show that there is no problem in use of ES-beam.

하천의 유량관측 자료는 지표수자원의 확보와 수공구조물의 설계를 위해 가장 기초적인 수문자료로써 정밀하고 지속적인 관측을 요구한다. 최근 유량 관측법은 접촉식 유속측정 방법의 단점을 보완한 전자파 표면유속계나 영상분석기법을 적용한 표면영상유속계(SIV)가 활용되고 있다. 이들 관측장비는 표면유속 관측법에 의해 유량을 측정하므로 보다 정밀한 유량자료를 확보하기 위해서는 측정 영역의 표면유속과 단면의 평균유속에 대한 해석이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 제주도 남부지역에 위치한 강정천을 대상으로 2011년 7월부터 2015년 6월 까지 월 1~2회 현장관측한 ADCP 자료를 활용하여 Chiu(1987)가 제안한 2차원 유속분포식의 매개변수를 추정하여 정밀한 유량을 산정하였다. 또한 표면영상유속계(SIV)로 산정된 표면유속을 Chiu-2 차원 유속분포식에서 평균유속으로 환산하여 기존의 표면유속을 일률적으로 적용한 수심평균유속 환산계수인 0.85의 적용 값과 비교 분석하였다. 대상하천의 현장에서 72회 관측된 ADCP 자료를 활용하여 각각의 최대유속과 평균유속을 분석하고 엔트로피 계수(M)를 산정한 결과와 유속의 공간적 분포를 모델링하기 위해 제시되는 $_{urf}$를 산정하였으며, 산정된 계수 값을 이용하여 표면유속을 계산한 결과와 ADCP의 관측된 표면유속의 $^2$는 0.874로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 Chiu-2차원 유속분포식을 연구대상하천에 적용하는 과정에서 추정되는 매개변수의 평균값 사용에 대한 타당성을 보여준다. 이 후 추정된 하천매개변수를 하천현장에 적용성 확인을 위해 강정천의 동일 관측지점에서 표면영상유속계(SIV)를 사용한 표면유속과 유량을 산정함과 동시에 ADCP에 의한 유속 및 유량과 비교 분석하였다. 표면영상유속계(SIV)로 분석된 유속 벡터를 Chiu-2차원 유속분포식에 적용하여 산정된 유량과 기존의 수심평균유속환산계수 0.85를 적용한 유량은 각각 $0.7171m^3/s$과 0$0.5758m^3/s$였다. ADCP 평균유량 $0.6664m^3/s$과의 오차율은 각각 7.63%, 13.64%로 나타나 Chiu-2차원 유속분포식을 적용한 유량이 수심평균유속환산계수 0.85를 적용한 유량에 비해 작은 오차율을 보였다.

In order to evaluate vibration serviceability by means of non-contact vibration meter, serviceability of existing bridge were experimentally evaluated by using laser vibration meter. Test results were analyzed and compared with evaluation results acquired by using accelerometer and LVDT. To testify accuracy of laser vibration meter measured natural frequency were compared with that acquired by using accelerometer. According to test and comparison results it is showed that serviceability can be evaluated properly enough from the tolerance curve of Reiher-Meister for the estimated acceleration that can be calculated by the numerical differentiation of measured velocity. But because of cumulative numerical error occurred during integration of measured velocity in the time domain serviceability grade could be different from the result acquired by LVDT.

The study discussed in this paper presents a method of estimating sources of geometric errors in suspension bridges in use, based on geometric survey data. A geometric error is defined as the difference between the survey data and the design geometry of a main cable. It is assumed that the geometric error in a suspension bridge is caused by the variations in the weight of the stiffening girder and the deformation of the anchorage foundations due to the creep of soil. The variations in the girder weight and the deformation of the foundation were estimated by constructing a matrix of factors that affect suspension bridges due to the variations. To check the validity of the proposed method, it was applied to the Kwang-An Bridge, and the sources of geometric errors in the bridge were estimated using the survey data.

The present study proposes a new estimation relationship for the transmission rate of the steel breakwater which is expected to make up for the weakness points in existing hard solution for shore protection. The steel breakwater consists of the wave dissipator of the dual horizontal plates, the supporting columns and their foundations, and thus its respective designs should also be conducted one by one. Furthermore, the breakwater has to ensure both functions of shore protection and structure stabilization. The study produced experimental data for the stability and safety investigation of the steel breakwater. The forces acting on the steel breakwater were classified into two categories, one is vertical up and down loads for the pile resistance and the other was maximum difference of the vertical load acting on horizontally different position for the torsion. The study applied the stability force produced by the summation of maximum pressure at each point and the safety force acting on each point simultaneously. The regular wave corresponding to the significant wave was utilized for measuring wave pressure and force. The study showed the method for the proper position of submerged upper plate by considering occurrence frequency of tide level. The design process finally determined by trial and error is proposed in the present study.

To predict the target displacement of retrofitted columns, a nonlinear analysis model of reinforced concrete columns has been developed to be based on the nonlinear fiber cross-sectional and segmental analysis model, and the seismic displacement level of retrofitted columns is estimated by two procedures, the direct displacement-based design method and the displacement coefficient method. In examples of seismic retrofit design, the current seismic improved design method gives good results in improvements of displacement levels and displacement ductilities of retrofitted columns.

In safety assessment of a aged bridge, dynamic characteristics and displacement are directly related to the rigidity of the structural system, especially displacement is the most important factor as the physical quantity that the bridge user can directly detect. However, in order to measure the displacement of the bridge, it is difficult to install displacement sensors at the bottom of the bridge and conduct traffic blocking and loading tests, resulting in increased costs or impossible measurements depending on the bridge's environment. In this study, a method of measuring the displacement of a bridge using only accelerometers without installing displacement sensors and ambient vibration without a loading test was proposed. For the analysis of bridge dynamic characteristics and displacement using ambient vibration, the mode shape and natural frequency of the bridge were extracted using a TDD technique known to enable quick analysis with simple calculations, and the unit load displacement of the bridge was analyzed through flexibility analysis to calculate static displacement. To verify this proposed technology, an on-site test was conducted on C Bridge, and the results were compared with the measured values of the loading test and the structural analysis data. As a result, it was confirmed that the mode shape and natural frequency were 0.42 to 1.13 % error ratio, and the maximum displacement at the main span was 3.58 % error ratio. Therefore, the proposed technology can be used as a basis data for indirectly determine the safety of the bridge by comparing the amount of displacement compared to the design and analysis values by estimating the displacement of the bridge that could not be measured due to the difficulty of installing displacement sensors.

Flood frequency analysis commonly used to design the hydraulic structures to minimize flood damage includes uncertainty. Therefore, the most appropriate design flood within a uncertainty should be selected in the final stage of a hydraulic structure, but related studies were rarely carried out. The total expected cost function introduced into the flood frequency analysis is a new approach for determining the optimal design flood. This procedure has been used as UNCODE (UNcertainty COmpliant DEsign), but the application has not yet been introduced in South Korea. This study introduced the mathematical procedure of UNCODE and calculated the optimal design flood using the annual maximum inflow of hydroelectric dams located in the Bukhan River system and results were compared with that of the existing flood frequency. The parameter uncertainty was considered in the total expected cost function using the Gumbel and the GEV distribution, and the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm was used to sample the parameters. In this study, cost function and damage function were assumed to be a first-order linear function. It was found that the medians of the optimal design flood for 4 Hydroelectric dams, 2 probability distributions, and 2 return periods were calculated to be somewhat larger than the design flood by the existing flood frequency analysis. In the future, it is needed to develop the practical approximated procedure to UNCODE.

부유사 자료는 유사이송해석에 필수적인 요소로 하천의 흐름 변화 및 하상 변동을 발생시키고, 하천 구조물의 설계, 수자원 개발 및 관리를 위한 하천계획의 전반에 있어 매우 중요한 자료이다. 부유사 농도는 수자원의 이용뿐만 아니라 하천 생태계에까지 피해를 미친다는 점에서 하천의 유지 관리 및 보수와도 밀접한 관련이 있다. 부유사량을 산정하는 방법에는 수리량 및 하상토 특성 자료를 유사량 공식에 대입하여 계산하는 간접적인 방법과 유사량을 직접 측정하는 방법으로 나뉜다. 현재 국내에서는 유사량 채집기를 사용하여 실제 하천의 유사량을 채집하는 방식으로 많이 사용되고 있으나, 많은 인력과 시간이 소모되기 때문에 다지점 계측과 지속적인 계측이 힘들다는 한계점를 보이고 있다. 또한 국내 하천에서는 홍수기를 거치면서 하천의 수리학적 특성이 변화하는 경향을 보여주고 있어 유량-부유사 관계식을 자주 갱신해야 한다는 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 사용하고 있는 직접적인 측정 방법의 한계점을 보완하고자 직접적인 측정 방법 중 초음파를 이용하여 횡단면 전체의 유사량 측정을 연속적으로 할 수 있는 수평초음파도플러유속계(H-ADCP)를 활용하여 유사량을 추정할 수 있는 기법을 개발하고자 한다. 본 연구의 연구는 건설기술연구원 하천실험센터의 직선수로에서 수행되었다. H-ADCP (SonTek SL3000, 셀 크기 4 cm)를 사용하여 자연상태 흐름조건 (유속 0.7 m/s)에서 초음파산란도(Backscatter, 혹은 신호대잡음비 SNR) 및 유속자료를 2분 간격으로 확보하였다. 그리고 부유사 농도(SSC)의 측정 정확도가 높다고 평가되고 있는 레이저부유사측정기(LISST-100)를 활용하여 부유사 농도를 실측하여 초음파산란도와 실측 SSC의 관계를 도출하고 그 경향을 분석하였다. 또한 초음파산란도의 흡수 등을 보정하고 실측 부유사자료와의 관계식을 기반으로 H-ADCP를 활용하여 실시간으로 부유사 농도를 산정할 수 있는 소프트웨어를 개발하였다.

Soil internal erosion is a phenomenon in which fines attached to the solid skeleton are detached by fluid flow, and this continuous fine migration weakens the hydro-mechanical characteristics of the ground structure. This paper proposed governing equations for fine migration in pore spaces and its related scheme for the numerical analysis. Phase diagram for fine particles includes three different states: detached fines in the liquid phase ($c_e$), attached fines in the solid phase (${\sigma}_a$), and pore-clogged fines in the solid phase (${\sigma}_s$). Numerical formulations for finite element method are developed based on the hydraulic governing equations of pore fluid and fine migration. This study proposed a method of estimating model parameters for fine detachment, attachment, and clogging from 1D erosion experiments. And it proposed an analytical formula for hydraulic permeability function considering fine clogging. Numerical analysis of the previous erosion test developed the numerical scheme and verified the adequacy of fine migration models.
