It is essential to take consideration of long-term deformation characteristics of mechanically stabilized earth wall user sustained and repeated loads for design and construction, especially for use as part of permanent structures. This paper presents the long-term performance of a full-scale geogrid reinforced segmental retaining wall results based on the measured strains in geogrids for three years. The results indicate that the reinforcement tensile strains tend to continuously increase after wall completion with the increase being more pronounced in the reinforcement layers in the lower tier. It can be concluded that the long-term deformation should be taken in account for walls constructed as part of permanent structures for which wall deformation should be controlled.

In this study, characteristics of multi-photos and optimal photographing method are suggested by analyzing the normal case and convergent case with multiple method. The optimal photographing method is applied to deformation measurement of a model miniature structure under loading. Comparing with conventional measurement method in accuracy, efficiency and proprities of application of this method are suggested. As a result, the optimal photographing condition is ideal at $90^{\circ}$ convergent multiple case, whose measurement values approach to that of precision level within $5{\sim}9{\mu}m$ and bring more than about 55% improvement of accuracy comparing with normal case at the number of photos respectively. Therefore application of this method in deformation measurement as well as precision analysis of structures is desired in precision and economical aspect.

The shell due to the effect of initial normal pressures on the shell surface was based on the assumption that the directions of the pressures are always normal to the undeformed shell surface, and that the change in the surface area of the shell is negligible. But the fact that the pressure are always normal to the deforming surface leads "follower force". The follower effect in the analysis can significantly alter the solution for natural frequency and buckling load as compared to the case when the direction of the pressures are assumed to be normal to the uniform shell surface. The expression for the part of strain energy contribution from normal pressure due to the effect of follower force was derived and added to the element stiffness matrix of axisymmetric shell. In the case of increasing external pressure, the natural frequencies decrease until one of them reaches zero. Theoretically the smallest applied load that reduces the frequency of any mode to zero, will have same magnitude as that of the buckling load. In order to determine the bucking load of the shell a few sets of frequencies are computed and the results considering the follower effects are well with the exact solution while the case without that are quite different. But in case of hemispherical dome, there are little difference in buckling pressure between with and without the effect of follower force.

Structural Dynamics Modification (SDM) is a very effective technique to improve structure's dynamic characteristics by adding or removing auxiliary structures, changing material properties and shape of structure. Among those of SDM technique, the method to change shape of structure has been mostly relied on engineer's experience and trial-and-error process which are very time consuming. In order to develop a systematic method to change structure shape, surface grooving technique is studied and successfully applied to HDD cover model. To verify Surface Grooving Technique, fully embossed HDD cover model was optimized. And comparing with previous optimization result, the effectiveness of this surface grooving technique was checked. The shape of groove and 1 st natural frequency were converged to the same result of previous optimization.

이 글에서는 막 구조물의 설계에서 자주 제기되는 형상결정 문제에 대한 접근방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 형상결정 문제는 막 구조물이 휨 강성이 전혀 없거나, 빈약한 재료를 사용하는데 기인하여 제기되고, 막 구조물의 설계에서 불안정영역의 발생을 피하기 위해서는 형상의 기준면에서 곡률과 비틀림의 변화를 최소화해야 하며 이러한 변화를 최소화하기 위해서는 형상이 적용하중의 막력에 의한 평형면에 근접하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 초기에 막 구조물에 도입된 초기장력에 오차가 발새하면 막면은 스스로 등장력의 형태로 이동하게 되므로, 초기에 막장력의 분포가 등장력의 상태가 되도록 그 형상을 결정하는 것이 바람직하다. 따라서, 이러한 조건을 만족하는 형상탐색문제는 이러한 종류의 구조물의 설계에서는 매우 중요한 문제가 된다. 그러나 국내에서는 막과 케이블 구조물의 형상해석과 응력-변형해석에 범용적으로 사용될 수 있는 프로그램의 개발이 미약하고 이러한 구조방식에 대한 국내의 인식에 크게 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 이 글이 막과 케이블 구조물의 설계에서 형상탐색해석이 반드시 필요한 이 구조물의 구조적 특성을 이해하는데 조금이라도 도움이 될 수 있기를 기대한다.

This paper presents the results of a numerical investigation on the long-term behavior of geosynthetic reinforced soil abutment. The investigation was carried out aiming at identifying the governing mechanisms of the long-term deformation of geosynthetic-reinforced soil abutment subjected to sustained loads during service life. A numerical modeling strategy was first established using the Singh-Mitchell creep model and the power law model, respectively, for the backfill and the geosyntehtic reinforcement. A parametric study on the creep properties of the backfill and the geosynthetic reinforcement was then conducted. The results indicated that a geosynthetic reinforced soil structure backfilled with marginal soil may exhibit substantial long-term deformation due to the creep effects caused by both the backfill soil and the geosynthetic reinforcement, the magnitude of which depends largely on the creep properties. This paper highlights the importance of considering the creep effect on load supporting geosynthetic reinforced soil structures when the long-term serviceability requirement is of prime importance.

A monitoring system for the subway structures using prestrained FBG sensors fixed with partially stripped fibers was developed. The sensor packages had pre-strain controllable fixtures. Tensile and compressive strain of the structure could be measured without slip. The FBG sensor system was applied to the concrete lining structure in Taegu subway. Near the structure, the narrow tunnel construction, for the electric power cables and telecommunication cables, started. We wanted to measure the deformations of the subway structures due to the construction by the FBG sensor. The applied sensors had the gauge length of 1 meter to overcome the inhomogeneity of the concrete material with enough length. In order to fix tightly to the structure, the partially stripped parts of the sensor glued to the package and slip phenomenon between fiber and acrylate jacket was prevented. Prestrain of the sensor was imposed by controlling the two fixed points with bolts and nuts in order to measure compressive strain as well as tensile strain. The behavior of subway lining structure could be monitored very well.

This paper concentrates on the analysis of reinforced concrete(R/C) structures subjected to monotonic loading, from zero to ultimate loads. Tensile cracking, the nonlinear stress-strain relationship for concrete and reinforcement are taken into account the concrete is assumed to be elastic in tension region and elasto-hardening plastic in compression region. The Kupfer's failure criteria and associated flow rule are adopted to govern the plastic behavior of the concrete. The reinforcing bar is considered as a elasto-hardening platic material. The tension stiffening effect of the concrete between cracks is also considered. The numerical error depends on the used finite element mesh size is reduced by correcting the slope of strain softening region of the concrete according to the developed energy criteria.

본 연구에서는 복합재 구조물에 대하여 유한요소해석법에 현상학적 모델인 전 단지연해석을 도입하여 강성저하와 모재파손을 예측하고 변형률을 매개변수로 한 Wei- bull 함수를 섬유파손해석에 도입하여 초기파손후의 거동을 묘사하고자 한다. 그리 고 면내전단하중이 작용하는 경우에 대해 전단지연해석을 수행할 수 있도록 모델링을 확장했다. 모재균열의 존재로 인한 단층의 강성변화는 실험으로 측정이 불가능하므 로 유한요소해석을 수행하여 비교하였다. 이 모델로부터 전단강성의 저하를 평가하 는 방법을 사용하였으며, 모재파손의 밀도 예측도 평균변형률 개념으로 전단효과를 고 려할 수 있도록 수정하였다. 그리고 초기파손후의 거동을 점진적으로 해석하기 위해 비선형 유한요소프그램을 작성하고, 상기의 모델을 도입하여 초기파손후의 거동을 보 다 정확히 묘사할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 예로서 평시편에 대해 해석하고 실험치 및 타방법의 결과와 비교하였다.
