The demand for underground infrastructures such as tunnels is expanding due to rapid urbanization. Tunnels in urban areas are usually constructed adjacent to structures supported by piles. Therefore, a proper understanding of pile-tunnel interaction due to tunnel excavation activities is vital. Thus, in this study, a numerical analysis is conducted to analyze pile settlements, ground surface settlements and shear deformations above an existing tunnel subject to the presence of an adjacent tunnelling, with vertical offsets, the number of piles and the pile spacing considered as variables in the analysis. The results show that the vertical offsets between the tunnel crown and the pile tip generatelarger settlement than the pile spacing. In addition, the vertical offset shows an inversely proportional relationship to the shear deformation due to new tunnelling.

FBG sensors are mainly used to measure strain and temperature of structures. In this paper, an interrogator of FBG sensors is developed and implemented to measure the crack of structures using FPGA and DSP. Developed interrogator consists of an optical source, an optical circulator, an optical grating and a CCD sensor and controller. The spectrum of the reflected light from the FBG sensor is analyzed and peak wavelength is detected. Next, strain of structure can be measured using shift of peak wavelength. Centroid algorithm and Gaussian fitting which are mainly applied to detect peak wavelength of the interrogator are compared in this paper. As a result of experiment, Gaussian fitting is suitable for a developed interrogator.

Finite element analysis and experiment are performed to investigate residual deformation induced by the repair of composite shell structures using a prepreg patch method. The finite element program is developed on the basis of a three-dimensional degenerated shell element and the first order shear deformation theory. The results analyzed for the laminated shell with free boundary conditions are compared with strains measured during the prepreg patch repair. Final residual stresses occur greatly near the patch when the laminated shell with all edges clamped is repaired using the prepreg patch. Stacking sequences of the laminated shell and patch affect significantly the residual stresses which occur even if they are the same.

This paper presents new equations for member forces in concrete floating structures under wave loadings. The currently adopted design equations for wave loadings disregard the effect of mismatch between design wave length and the length of the structure. In most cases, however, additional internal forces occur due to disequilibriating buoyancy caused by the difference between design wave length and the length of the structure. In this study, new design equations considering the influence of the disequlibriating buoyancy is proposed. In addition, finite element solutions are sought to demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed design formulae in estimating the actual internal forces considering the structure as either rigid or flexible. It has been found that member forces are decreased approximately to around 55% for flexible model when compared with the rigid one.

The application of health monitoring, including a fault detection technique, is needed to secure the structural safety of large structures. A 2-step crack identification method for detecting the crack location and size of the beam structure is presented. First, a crack occurrence region was estimated using the modified Laplacian operator for the strain mode shape obtained from the distributed local strain data. The crack location and size were then identified based on the natural frequencies obtained from the acceleration data and the neural network technique for the pre-estimated crack occurrence region. The natural frequencies of a cracked beam were calculated based on an equivalent bending stiffness induced by the energy method, and used to generate the training patterns of the neural network. An experimental study was carried out on an aluminum cantilever beam to verify the present method for crack identification. Cracks were produced on the beam, and free vibration tests were performed. A crack occurrence region was estimated using the modified Laplacian operator for the strain mode shape, and the crack location and size were assessed using the natural frequencies and neural network technique. The identified crack occurrence region agrees well with the exact one, and the accuracy of the estimation results for the crack location and size could be enhanced considerably for 3 damage cases. The presented method could be applied effectively to the structural health monitoring of large structures.

응답변위법에서 이용되는 동지반강성계수의 적절한 평가법에 대한 제안을 하였다. 현재까지의 지진피해조사 및 장기간의 지진관측사례는 지반이 공진할 때의 변형모드가 지중구조물의 피해에 가장 직접적으로 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 지중구조물의 축방향의 지반의 변형모드와 그 타월 진동수를 특정하여 동지반강성계수를 평가했다. 동지반강성계수는 지반의 공진상태를 상정하고 있기 때문에 결과로써 지진파의 축방행 파장의 영향을 받지 않고, 관상구주물의 반경과 표층두께의 비, 표층두께에 대한 구조물의 매설위치, 표층지반과 기반의 임피단스비 라고 하는 3개의 무차원 변수에 의해 표현된다.

액체금속로는 기존의 가압경수로와는 달리 55$0^{\circ}C$ 정도의 고온에서 운전이 되므로 고온 열응력이 중요한 문제로 대두되며 따라서 고은에서의 크립(Creep) 변형, 반복되는 기동과 정지 등으로 인한 되풀이 소성변형, 라체팅(Ratchetting), 크립과 소성의 상호작용 및 크립과 피로의 상호작용 등의 평가에 대한 기술 확립과 고온구조물에 대한 우리의 독자적인 설계방법을 개발하는 것이 필요하다 본 연구에서는 범용 유한요소해석코드인 ABAQUS의 축대칭 요소를 이용해서 액체 금속로 원자로용기와 이에 부착된 열소매(Thermal sleeve)를 Y-형태의 구조물로 모델링하여 반복되는 열천이하중에 대한 비탄성 구조해석을 수행하고 크립효과에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 해석결과 액체금속로와 같은 고온구조물에 대하여 반복 열천이 하중과 고온 지속시간이 유발하는 크립효과가 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

This study performed 4-point flexural tests of reinforced concrete to which was attached a distributed optical fiber sheet and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets in order to assess the effect of the CFRP sheets and the applicability of a BOTDR sensor simultaneously. To evaluate the reinforcing effect, various degrees of CFRP sheet attachment were manufactured, and to evaluate the sensing ability, strains obtained from a BOTDR sensor were compared with strains measured from electric resistance strain gauges that were attached to the concrete surface. From the results, the reinforcing effects were evidently different according to the attachment type of the CFRP sheets, and it was confirmed that the main influencing factor on the reinforcing effect was the type of attachment rather than the attachment area. The reinforced concrete structural behavior was visualized with strains measured from the BOTDR sensor as load increased, and it was identified that load was concentrated in the CFRP reinforced area. Strains from the BOTDR sensor were similar to those from the electric resistance strain gauge; thereby a BOTDR sensor can be effective in the analysis of structural behaviorsof massive infrastructure. Finally, the strain from a BOTDR sensor was high where CFRP sheet fall-off occurs, and it would therefore be efficient to track local damage locations of CFRP sheets by utilizing a BOTDR sensor.
