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.

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.

빗물펌프장은 도시지역 저지대의 우수를 강제로 배출하여 제내지의 치수안전도를 향상시키기 위한 방재시설이다. 변화하는 기상조건에 맞추어 침수취약지역의 치수안전도를 유지 또는 향상시키기 위해서는 빗물펌프장 설계시 목표한 치수성능을 지속적으로 구현할 필요가 있다. 그러나, 펌프시설의 고속운전, 변화하는 펌프운영조건 등의 영향으로 펌프의 성능은 지속적으로 저하된다. 이와 같은 펌프성능의 주요원인은 펌프운영시 발생하는 공기연행이 주요 원인중 하나이다. 흡수정 설계단계에서는 와류에 의한 공기연행을 제어하기 위하여 흡입관경, 흡수정 벽면으로부터의 이격거리 등의 설계요소를 반영하고 있지만, 도심지역의 제한적인 공간특성으로 인하여 설계기준치를 만족하지 못하는 경우가 발생하게 된다. 설계시 흡수정 내에 형성되는 와류를 억제하기 위하여 흡수정의 벽면 모서리를 완만하게 시공하거나, 흡수정 내에 날개벽 또는 별도의 시설을 설치하는 방법을 채택하고 있다. 그러나, 이와 같은 와류방지시설은 고정된 설계조건에 대하여 성능구현이 가능하지만, 홍수시 흡수정 내의 흐름은 하천의 수위 및 유입되는 유량에 의하여 시시각각 변화하게 된다. 이와 같은 운영조건의 변화에 대응할 수 있는 방법을 제시하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 수면에 부유식 와류방지장치를 설치하고 이에 대한 성능을 3차원 수치모의를 통하여 재현한 후 정량적으로 분석하였다. 부유식 와류방지장치에 대한 성능검토결과, 다양한 운영조건에서도 부유식 와류방지장치가 유효한 와류저감효과를 구현하고 있는 것을 확인하였다.

The coupled vibration of the deck house and stern structure, which was experienced on a 12,900 TDW Ro/Ro ship, has been studied. It was a large-scale vibration problem where the structure resonates with the propeller excitation at the first blade passing frequency. After discussing the structural characteristics of the ship, the vibration characteristics measured ducting the sea-trial are presented and compared with the analysis results which are based on a 3 dimensional finite element(FE) model. The FE model is also used to verify various reinforcement options and to predict their effectiveness. A substantial reduction or the vibration was confirmed during the sea-trial after installing a few selected reinforcement. The forced vibration response, which is computed using the FE model, is compared with the measured data. The change of the vibration characteristics according to loading conditions is also studied.

Morphological characters of C. kobomugi, C. gibba, C. echinata. C. remotiuscula. C. maakii. C. curta, and C. loliacea of genus Carex were rexamined. The epidermal patterns of perigynium, achene and leaf were investigated using by a scanning electron microscope(SEM) and a light microscope(LM). Morphological characters. such as length and width of stem and leaf, sheath, bract, spike, scale, perigynium, beak of perigynium, length of spike peduncle, size, and frequency of stomatal complex of leaf, number of bract, shape of stem transection, scale and apex of scale, beak and base of perigynium, achene, epidermal cell and cell wall of perigynium, achene, leaf epidermal patterns (fundamental epidermal cell and cell wall, silica body, subsidiary cell), hair, papillae, prickle present/absent of perigynium and leaf were useful for the identification of observed seven taxa. Examined six taxa of section Macrocephalae, Gibbae, Stellulatae, Elongatae, Ovales, and Heleonates were distint from each other with respect of length and width stem, leaf, bract, perigynium, perigynium beak, lenght of spike peduncle, perigynium, and leaf. A key based on data was presented here.
