Current Bridge Specification for Highway Bridges adopts a simplified method to determine sectional forces of abutment wing by dividing its area into four sections. This simplified method was developed in Japan when numerical analysis was not mature and computer resources were expensive. This simplified method has been with us without modification. This study evaluates the problem of current design practice to improve the design guideline for abutment wing. In this study, a finite element model of abutment wing based on shell elements was developed to obtain accurate sectional force. In addition, foreign design specifications regarding abutment wing were thoroughly examined. It has been observed that sectional forces obtained from the simplified method produce inaccurate results under various geometric shapes. Thus, it is recommended that two dimensional plate analyses should be adopted for future design of abutment wing wall.

Current buildings have complex shaped walls where the wing wall system is a popular option. When the wing wall is attached to a column, or a short span is produced due to the wing wall system, the system affects the behaviour of the column such as by increasing the strength and decreasing the ductility of the members. Calculations for internal shear force and internal bending moment of the vertical members are considered an important matter in design, but currently Korea does not have studies on the effects of the wing wall on the columns.

A lot of structures built since 1988 do not have efficient seismic design. Current buildings have complex shaped walls where the wing wall system is a popular option. When the wing wall is attached to a column, or a short span is produced due to the wing wall system, the system affects the behaviour of the column such as by increasing the strength and decreasing the ductility of the members. These members affect the structural behaviour of the columns and destruction aspect as the investigation on the damage of the previous earthquakes indicates. To prevent such case, current design installs structural silt on the wing wall to consider the columns and insulating so that it does not affect the internal forces. Calculations for internal shear force and internal bending moment of the vertical members are considered an important matter in design, but currently Korea does not have any studies on the effects of the wing wall on the columns.

Current Bridge Specification for Highway Bridges adopts a simplified method to determine sectional forces of abutment wing by diving its area into four sections. This simplified method was developed when numerical analysis was not mature and computer resources were expensive. It has been criticized that the simplified method produces conservative results. This study evaluates the problem of current design practice to improve the design guideline for abutment wing.

This study was conducted to experimentally investigate the seismic retrofitting performance of non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frames by introducing engineered cementitious composite (ECC) wing panel elements. Non-ductile RC frame tested in this study were designed and detailed for gravity loads with insufficient or no consideration to lateral loads. Therefore, Non-ductile RC frame were not satisfied on present seismic code requirements. The precast ECC wing panels were used to improve the seismic structural performance of existing non-ductile RC frame. A series of experiments were carried out to evaluate the structural performance of ECC wing panel elements alone a non-ductile RC frame strengthened by adding ECC panel elements. Failure pattern, strength, stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics of specimens were evaluated based on the test results. The test results show that both lateral strength and stiffness were significantly improved in specimen strengthened than non-ductile RC frame. It is noted that ECC wing wall elements application on non-ductile RC frame can be effective alternative on seismic retrofit of non-ductile building.

This paper deals with an analytical study on the aileron reversal characteristics of anisotropic composite aircraft wings modelled as thin-walled beam and having bending-torsion structural couplings caused by Circumferentially Asymmetric Stiffness layup scheme. For a study on the aileron reversal of CAS composite wings, it is essential to consider the following effects such as warping restraint, transverse shear flexibility, bending-twist structural coupling, wing aspect ratio, ratio of span-wise and chord-wise length of aileron to wing, and sweep angle, etc. The results on the aileron reversal could have a significant role in more efficient designs of thin-walled composite wing aircraft for which this aeroelastic instability is one of the most critical ones.

This paper deals with an analytical study on the aileron reversal characteristics of anisotropic composite aircraft wings modelled as thin-walled beam and having extension-twist structural couplings caused by Circumferentially Uniform Stiffness (CUS) layup scheme. For a study on the aileron reversal of CUS composite wings, it is essential to consider the following effects such as extension-twist structural coupling, wing aspect ratio, and ratio of span-wise and chord-wise length of aileron to wing, initial angle of attack, and sweep angle, etc. The results on the aileron reversal could have a significant role in more efficient designs of thin-walled composite wing aircraft for which this aeroelastic instability is one of the most critical ones.

Three kind of system composed with buoyant flap hinged at the sea floor are modeled experimentally. The mechanically coupled system provides shelter by reflecting incident waves and by attenuating wave energy through structural and viscous damping. The characteristics of wave reflection, transmission and dynamic angle of the flap oscillation for various conditions were investigated. The structure can minimize wave transmission by attaching offshore wing wall.

In this study, the visualization of the unsteady flow field of a Weis-Fogh-type water turbine was investigated using particle-image velocimetry. The visualization experiments were performed in a parameter range that provided relatively high-efficiency wing conditions, that is, at a wing opening angle ${\alpha}=40^{\circ}$ and at a velocity ratio of the uniform flow to the moving wing U/V = 1.5~2.5. The flow fields at the opening, translational, and closing stages were investigated for each experimental parameter. In the opening stage, the fluid was drawn in between the wing and wall at a velocity that increased with an increase in the opening angle and velocity ratio. In the translational stage, the fluid on the pressure face of the wing moved in the direction of the wing motion, and the boundary layer at the back face of the wing was the thinnest and had a velocity ratio of 2.0. In the closing stage, the fluid between the wing and wall was jetted at a velocity that increased as the opening angle decreased; however, the velocity was independent of the velocity ratio.

수제는 만곡부의 유로 조정이나 하상보호와 같은 하천공학적인 목적을 가진 수공구조물이다. 본 연구에서는 개수로 만곡부에 수제 설치 시 외측벽과 수제 사이의 거리에 따라 하상변동이 어떤 차이가 있는지를 파악하기 위해 이동상 수리실험을 했다. 본 연구에서는 폭 1.45 m, 길이 24 m인 $90^{\circ}$ 만곡수로에 $4.2{\times}8.4cm$의 직사각형 단면 수제를 외측으로부터 이격하여 2열로 설치하였다. 하상재료는 $d_{50}$이 3.3 mm인 잔자갈을 사용했고 하상경사는 1/300로 하였다. 실험은 평균 유량 163 l/s를 3시간 동안 공급했고, 종료 후 만곡부의 주요횡단면별 하상고를 측정했다. 여기서 실험별 이격거리는 8.4 cm, 14 cm, 19.6 cm로 하였다. 실험 결과 외측벽과 수제 사이의 거리가 멀어질수록 만곡부의 최대세굴심은 커지고 그 발생 위치는 하류로 이동하는 경향을 보였다. 만곡부 최대세굴이 발생한 횡단면 형상은 만곡 내측에서 외측방향으로 무차원 위치 $y_1$(=내측에서의거리/폭)가 0.27보다 작으면 퇴적에 의해 하상이 상승하고, 0.35보다 클 때는 세굴에 따른 하상저하가 나타났다. 만곡 외측벽 부근 하상은 이격거리가 짧을수록 수제 설치에 의한 하상고 변화가 작았다.
