An efficient method for the calculation of wave forces on a tension leg platform(TLP) is presented in this paper. It is based on the Morison's equation with two corrective terms. One is the reduction of the inertia forces on the vertical columns in order to include the wave diffraction effect particularly for small wave conditions. The other is the inclusion of the hydrodynamic forces acting at the bottoms of the columns. Numerical studies are carried out for a TLP in 1000 ft water with two different wave heading angles($0^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$). The reponse amplitude operators(RAO's) for the TLP motions and top tether tension variations are obtained by the present method and the theoretically more accurate method based on the diffraction theory. A comparison has been made between the results obtained by two methods.

A series of forced vibration tests and ambient vibration measurement was conducted on a four-story reinforced concrete building damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Both low amplitude broadband and moderate amplitude harmonic excitation were applied using a linear shaker and two eccentric mass shakers, respectively, and ambient vibrations were measured before and after each forced vibration test. Accelerations, interstory displacements, and curvature distributions were monitored using accelerometers, LVDTs and concrete strain gauges. Natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes fur the first 7 modes were identified. Fundamental frequencies determined from the eccentric mass shaker tests were 70% to 75% of the values determined using ambient vibration data, and 92% to 93% of the values determined using the linear shaker test data. Larger frequency drops were observed in the NS direction of the building, apparently due to damage that was induced during the Northridge earthquake.

Double split tee connection is a full strength-partial restrained connection that suitable for ordinary moment frame and special moment frame which demonstrates behavior characteristics depending on the stiffness ratio of columns and beams, changes in the geometric shape of the T-stub, number of fasteners and effect of panel zone. For the double split tee connection to ensure structurally safe behavior, it needs to exhibit sufficient strength, stiffness and ductile capacity. This study sought to investigate the effects of the moment-rotation angle relationship of the double split tee connection and to evaluate the initial rotational stiffness of the double split tee connection depending on changes in the geometric shape of the T-stub. To this end, two different double split tee connection specimens are experimented which designed to change geometric parameter values (${\alpha}^{\prime}$) of the T-stub, and a three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed.

Impact resonance testing was carried out on small and large concrete blocks containing several types of artificial flaws respectively. Quantitative analysis of the observed peak frequencies in the impact resonance tests identifies the possible normal modes of concrete blocks containing flaws. and enables to determine the depth and size of the flaws in concrete blocks. In this study, concrete can be treated as a homogeneous and isotropic material. The flaw size and location at each section of artificial flaw series in small and large concrete blocks, determined through two-dimensional scanning of impact point and real-time fast Fourier transform, are in good agreement with real size location, respectively. Consequently, quantitative analysis method of vibration modes in the impact resonance tests, which can be applied for homogeneous and isotropic material, can be useful for the detection of flaws in any case of small and large concrete blocks in this study.

Improving the earthquake resistance of buildings through seismic retrofitting using steel braces can result in brittle failure at the connection between the brace and the building, as well as buckling failure of the braces. This paper proposes a new seismic retrofit methodology combined with glass fiber sheet (GFS) and non-compression X-brace system using carbon fiber (CFXB) for reinforced concrete buildings damaged in earthquakes. The GFS is used to improve the ductility of columns damaged in earthquake. The CFXB consists of carbon fiber bracing and anchors, to replace the conventional steel bracing and bolt connection. This paper reports the seismic resistance of a reinforced concrete frame strengthened using the GFS-CFXB system. Cyclic loading tests were carried out, and the hysteresis of the lateral load-drift relations as well as ductility capacities were investigated. Carbon fiber is less rigid than the conventional materials used for seismic retrofitting, resulting in some significant advantages: the strength of the structure increased markedly with the use of CF X-bracing, and no buckling failure of the bracing was observed.

In order to set up a steel frame at every construction site, it is necessary to attach a shackle to a crane to move steel frame beams and columns(H beams). The shackle used for this purpose must be removed manually from a higher place, which causes the risk of safety accidents to increase, work efficiency to decrease, and construction costs to rise. In this study, micro-mini, super lightweight, lower power consumptive, and cheaper auto-shackle with two-way RF communication, which can be used practically at construction site is designed and developed. The developed auto-shackle is able to have excellent remote monitoring and controlling functions, by adopting new operating principles and structures different from the existing one. The results of the study reveal that the auto-shackle can be applied for the purpose of remote controlling of various construction equipments and speed up the advancement of construction equipments.

In the steel structure of high-rise buildings, a connection analysisand a column design have been made after welding and bolting suitable gaps. Each country, however, has different codes, and such differences are very big. American steel has been designed according to a code that all axial loads can be carried from the upper parts to the lower parts as determined by the designer, but Korean and Japanese steel have been designed by 1/4 of the standard of all axial loads. In this paper, a metal touch experiment was done as an intermediation parameter with a connecting location and a connecting method for economic and constructive efficiency. Every specimen is tested by a low-to-high displacement control to grasp ultimate strength, displacement, the connection's lateral deflection, and stress. The results of the test were compared and analyzed.

경사코팅 기술(Oblique Angle Deposition; OAD)은 입사 증기가 기판에 수직으로 입사하지 않고 90도 보다 작은 각도로 비스듬히 입사하도록 조절하여 코팅하는 물리증착 기술의 하나로 피막의 조직을 다양하게 제어할 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 초기의 경사 코팅 기술은 경사각을 가진 정지된 기판 상에 코팅하였으나 최근에는 기판의 각도와 회전을 동시에 조절하여 이루어지는 소위 스침각 증착(Glancing Angle Deposition; GLAD) 기술이 개발되어 다양한 형태의 구조를 제어하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 컴퓨터를 이용하여 입사각과 방위각을 정밀 제어함에 의해 나노 스케일의 Zigzag 및 나선형, 기둥형 조직 등 복잡한 형태의 박막을 제조하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 현재, GLAD 기술과 다양한 형태의 나노 조직을 이용하여 각종 센서는 물론 태양전지와 같은 에너지 소자, 필터와 같은 광학코팅 등에 응용하기 위한 연구가 세계적으로 폭넓게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 조직의 치밀도 향상을 통한 특성 향상을 위해 Al 및 TiN 박막을 제조함에 있어서 경사코팅 기술을 응용하여 단층 및 다층 피막(각도를 반대로 하여 여러 층을 제조)을 제조하고 그 특성을 비교하였다. Al 박막은 UBM (Un-Balanced Magnetron) 스퍼터링 소스를 이용하여 타겟 표면과 기판 표면이 이루는 각도 즉, 입사빔과 기판이 이루는 각도를 각각 0, 30, 45, 60 및 90도의 각도에서 강판 및 실리콘 웨이퍼 상에 시편을 제조하되 단층 및 다층으로 시편을 제조하고 치밀도 및 내식성과 반사율 및 조도 등의 특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 경사각으로 코팅한 시편에서 조도 및 반사율이 향상됨은 물론 치밀도 및 내식성이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 특히, 염수분무에 의한 내식성 시험에서 경사 코팅된 시편의 경우 내식성이 현저히 향상되었는데, 이는 경사 코팅 방법이 박막의 치밀도를 향상시켜 나타난 현상으로 판단된다. TiN 박막은 Cathodic Arc 방식을 이용하되 Al 박막과 동일한 방법으로 코팅을 하고 내식성 및 경도 등의 특성을 비교하였다. TiN 박막은 경사각이 커지면서 경도가 낮아지며 특히 다층막의 경우 경도 감소가 현저함을 알 수 있었다. 다만, 45도에서는 다른 경사각에 비해 약간의 경도 상승이 측정되었다. 경사각 코팅에서의 경도 감소는 피막의 경사에 의해 탐침이 미끄러지거나 또는 우선 방위에 의한 경도 증가 효과가 나타나지 않아 생기는 현상으로 판단되었다. Ferroxyl 시험을 이용한 기공도 시험에서는 경사각 코팅의 경우가 기공이 다소 감소함을 확인하였다.

The this study's objective was to conduct species identification and tree-ring dating for the wood elements of Daewoong-jeon(main temple), Hwagye-temple, Seoul, Korea. Most of the wood elements were made from Pinus spp.(hard pine). However, one large beam was constructed from Abies spp.. For the tree-ring dating, cores were taken from the elements using a drill, and ring-width plots of individual samples were produced with the TSAP software program. The tree-ring dating results showed that, the date of the outermost ring of most elements (20 elements), including beams and pillars, were from AD 1839 to 1870. Among them, five elements had bark, and felling dates were AD 1868 and 1869. These dates confirmed the historical records that Daewoongjeon was rebuilt in AD 1870 from the records of hidden materials(Bokjangmul) in Jongdori by the survey 2012.
