Inelastic nonlinear behavior of a hyperbolic cooling tower under wind loading is studied using a finite element program developed on a Cray Y-MP. Convergence studies for the elastic and inelastic analyses are performed using three mesh models. It is shown that the mesh convergence plays an important role in accurately predicting the inelastic behavior of a cooling tower. Even though the cooling tower resists the applied forces through membrane stresses, it is found that the bending stresses play an important role in the failure and behavior of the cooling tower. The present analysis gives a shape factor of 1.48, which indicates a significant redistribution of meridional stresses. It is further evidenced by the distribution of meridional reinforcement yielding which reaches up to $30^{\circ}$ from the windward meridian. The present practice of using elastic analysis for calculating the design stresses appears to be at least safe and conservative. A more comprehensive study should lead to conclusions that would allow use of a higher-than-one shape factor, thus requiring less meridional reinforcement than the present design method does.

In this study, meteorological drought indices were examined to simulate hydrological drought. SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) and SPEI (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index) was applied to represent meteorological drought. Further, in order to evaluate the hydrological drought, monthly total inflow and SDI (Streamflow Drought Index) was computed. Finally, the correlation between meteorological and hydrological drought indices were analyzed. As a results, in monthly correlation comparison, the correlation between meteorological drought index and monthly total inflow was highest with 0.67 in duration of 270-day. In addition, a meteorological drought index were correlated 0.72 to 0.87 with SDI. In compared to the annual extremes, the relationship between meteorological drought index and minimum monthly inflow was hardly confirmed. But SDI and SPEI showed a slightly higher correlation. There are limitation that analyze extreme hydrological drought using meteorological drought index. For the evaluation of the hydrological drought, drought index which included inflow directly is required.

Bearing capacity of a pile in homogeneous soil is the sum of end bearing and skin resistance, and the skin resistance is more prominent in sandy soil. Bearing capacity of a pile in pile groups especially in sandy ground should be designed under the consideration of the influence by the adjacent piles. In this study, the end bearing capacity of a pile in pile groups was experimentally investigated. For this purpose, piles were installed in sandy ground in a circular test box, and end bearing - settlement behavior of the pile was measured while the pile was loaded. As the results, end bearing - settlement relation curves of the piles showed a distinct limit value. Limit value of the end bearing was little affected by skin friction and pile diameter, and it became a constant value as pile penetrates deeper. End bearing was not affected by the adjacent piles in a group of piles, when their clearance was larger than the pile diameter.

최근 기후변화에 따라 극한 강우로 전 세계적으로 국지적 홍수 피해가 증가하고 있다. 또한 극한 강우 발생시 다양한 건설 현장의 상황에 따라 침수 취약성이 나타나 인적 물적 피해로 이어질 수 있다. 특히, 시공에 따른 현장 지형 변화에 대해 실시간으로 침수 예측이 불가하여 위험 판단이 어려운 실정이며, 극한 강우 발생에 대비하기 위해 강우 정보 획득 및 분석을 효율화하여 강우예측 정확성을 높일 필요가 있다. 이러한 필요성에 따라 본 연구에서는 건설 현장의 침수 피해를 최소화하기 위해 침수 위험을 판정하고 예측하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 침수 위험 판정 방법은 건설 현장에서 실시간 지형변화 정보 확보와 침수 위험 판정의 정확도를 높이기 위한 침수심 분석에 인공 신경망 기법을 활용하였다. 또한, 침수판정 알고리즘은 지형, 강우 분석 모듈과 침수판정 모듈로 구성하였다. 지형 분석 모듈은 건설 현장이 시공진행에 따른 지형 데이터의 변화를 고려하기 위해 실시간 영상 정보의 객체 탐지를 구분하는 인공 신경망 기법을 적용해 지형 분석 모듈을 구축하였다. 강우 분석 모듈은 다양한 강우 정보를 취합할 수 있는 서버를 구축하여 강우 임베딩 정보를 실시간으로 분석하도록 고안하여 정확도를 높였다. 이러한 자료를 바탕으로 강우-유출해석에 의한 침수심 값과 실측값, 침수 지표를 활용하여 인공 신경망 기법으로 침수 위험을 판정하도록 제시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 건설 현장에서 지형 상태의 지속적인 변화와 강우데이터의 정확도 향상에 대응할 수 있는 침수 위험 판정이 가능하고 인적 물적 피해 최소화를 기대할 수 있다. 향후, 본 연구에서 제시된 방법은 건설 현장에서 분석 시스템과 실측 모니터링에 의해 검증되어야 할 것이며, 건설 현장 외에도 스마트 도시 및 지하 공간에서 확대하여 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Four series of fiber reinforced concrete deep beams without shear reinforcement were tested to determine their cracking shear strengths and ultimate shear capacities. Results of tests on 20 reinforced concrete deep beams (including 16 containing steel fibers) are reported. Three parameters were varied in the study, namely, the concrete compressive strength, volume fraction of fibers, and the shear span to depth ratio. The effects of fiber incorporation on failure modes, deflections. strains, cracking shear strength, and ultimate shear strength have been examined. Resistance to shear stresses have been found to be improved by the inclusion of fibers. Based on these investigations, a method of computing the shear stress of steel fiber reinforced concrete deep beam is suggested. The comparisons between computed values and experimentally observed values are shown to validate the proposed theoretical treatment.

The magnitude of the lateral resistance that resists the lateral movement of the pile is controlled by the amount of the pile movement and the strength and stiffness of soil. In this paper, we proposed an equation which produces the ultimate lateral resistance of the laterally loaded single pile in sand using the strain wedge model of the soil deformation. The ultimate lateral resistance in strain wedge model is composed of earth pressure of wedge rear, the shear resistance on the side of the wedge, and the frictional resistance between pile and ground. The ultimate lateral resistance determined by the proposed equation was compared with the Ashour, F.D.M., field test in sand. As a result, the error of the proposed equation and Ashour theory, field test, F.D.M were respectively 1.03%, 0.40~3.32%, 6.02%.

Several centrifuge modelling tests were performed to compare sand compaction pile (SCP) with gravel compaction pile (GCP) at the point of bearing capacity. SCP and GCP were installed as 30, 40, 50, 60, 70% of replacement ratio in cylindrical model tank (diameter = 20 cm, height = 40 cm), and the loading tests were carried out to analyze the bearing characteristics of soft clay ground reinforced by SCP and GCP. As a result of loading tests, the bearing capacities of soft grounds reinforced by SCP and GCP increase with increasing replacement ratio of pile, and a GCP reinforced ground has larger bearing capacity than that of a SCP reinforced ground. Several proposed bearing capacity equations for ground reinforced by SCP or GCP were compared with loading test results.

Four series of fiber reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement were tested to determine their cracking shear strengths and ultimate shear capacities. Results of tests on 36 reinforced concrete beams (including 21 containing steel fibers) are reported. Four parameters were varied in the study, namely, the concrete compressive strength, volume fraction of fibers, shear span-to-depth ratio, and the tensile steel reinforcement. The effects of fiber incorporation on failure modes, deflections, cracking shear strength, and ultimate shear strength have been examined. Resistance to shear stresses have been found to be improved by the inclusion of fibers. Based on these investigations, a method of computing the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete beam is suggested.

This study is to investigate the ultimate shear load of prestressed girder made of Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). Nine girders were tested until failure in shear. An analytical model to predict the ultimate shear load was formulated based on the Two Bounds Theory. A fiber reinforcing model was constituted based on the random assumption of steel fiber uniform distribution. The predicted values were compared with the conventional predictions and the test results. The proposed equations for computing the ultimate shear strength can be used for the ultimate failure status analysis, which could also be utilized for numerical limit analysis of prestressed UHPFRC girder. The established fiber reinforcing theoretical model can also be a reference for micro-mechanics analysis of UHPFRC.

본 연구에서는 1시간부터 1년 단위의 강우 특성들을 잘 모의하는 혼합 추계 강우 생성 모형을 개발하였다. 본 모형의 가상 강우 생성 과정은 4단계로 이루어진다. 첫 단계에서 Seasonal ARIMA 모형을 통하여 시계열 특성을 반영한 월 강우를 생성한다. 두 번째 단계는 생성된 월 강우에 해당하는 일 단위 이하의 강우 통계치 세트를 생성하는 것이며, 통계치간 상관관계를 통해 평균, 표준편차, 자기상관 계수, 무강우 확률을 생성한다. 생성된 통계치 세트는 세 번째 단계에서 Modified Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse (MBLRP) 모형의 6개의 매개변수를 보정하는데 사용되며, 마지막으로 MBLRP 매개변수 세트를 통해 가상 강우 시계열을 생성한다. 위 모형을 통해 미국 동부 지역 29개 강우 관측소에 대하여 200년 길이의 가상 강우를 생성하였으며, 그 결과 시 단위부터 연 단위까지 강우의 1차, 2차 통계치 및 무강우 확률을 성공적으로 재현하였다. 또한 기존 MBLRP 모형에 비하여 극한 강우 사상을 재현하는 능력이 향상되었다. 빈도분석 결과를 통하여 MBLRP 모형이 재현기간에 따라 10%에서부터 40%까지 극한 사상을 과소 추정한 반면, 본 모형에서는 20% 이내의 값을 나타내었다.
