Wind load or snow load, acting on agricultural structures is working more sensitive than any other load and therefore plays an important role in determination of design loads of agricultural structures. In this study, unit snow weight, greatest gust speed and depth of snow fall were analyzed and applied to determine the amount of frames. The unit snow weights were statistically classified and calculated in the basis of mean temperature and showed considerable differences between the unit snow weights at below and above -1$^{\circ}C$. Equations for estimating greatest gust speed with fastest wind speed were developed for inland and seaside districts. The calculated values from developed equations were little higher than those from the current equation in general. The difference between the depths of snow cover and snow fall, which shows the possibility of reduction of design loads under the adequate management. Design wind speed estimated by a modified equation suggested the amount of frames less than those by current one, and the depth of snow fall as a design snow depth suggested the amount of frames more than those of snow cover. Therefore, it is very important to select the adequate design values considering the characteristics of agricultural structures.

One of the methods for calculating unit skin friction of soft-rock-socket parts for cast-in-place piles involves the roughness measurement of the parts. The measurements are conducted during the excavation stage. A roughness measuring device is installed in the excavation hole and the unit skin friction is calculated from the measured surface roughness of the rock socket. Herein, the results of roughness measurement of rock-socket parts in cast-in-place piles and that of load transfer tests are analyzed and compared. The unit skin friction from the roughness measurements can be converted into unit skin friction corresponding to the displacement of a pile generated in a load transfer test. A reduction factor is given as R_f = -0.14n + 1.48.

Reliability analyses of sixteen domestic design cases of open cell caisson breakwaters against circular sliding failure were conducted in this study. For the reliability analyses, uncertainties of parameters of soils, mound, and concrete cap were assessed. Bishop simplified method was used to obtain load and resistance of open cell caisson breakwater for randomly generated open cell caisson breakwater. Sufficient number of Monte Carlo simulations were conducted for randomly generated open cell caisson breakwaters, and statistical analysis was conducted on loads and resistances collected from the large number of Monte Carlo simulations. Probability of failure produced from Monte Carlo simulation has a nonconvergence issue for very low probability of failure; therefore, First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) was conducted using the statistical characteristics of loads and resistances of open cell caisson breakwaters. In addition, effects of safety factor, uncertainties of load and resistance, and correlation between load and resistance on reliability of open cell caisson breakwaters against circular sliding failure were examined.

Load and resistance factor design of mound breakwater against circular failure was developed in this study. To achieve the goal, uncertainties of parameters of soils, mound, and concrete cap were determined. Eight design cases of domestic mound breakwaters were collected and analyzed. Monte Carlo Simulation was implemented to determine the most critical slip surfaces of the design cases. Using the results of Monte Carlo Simulation, First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) was used to perform reliability analyses. Optimal load and resistance factors were calculated using the reliability analysis results and final load and resistance factors were proposed based on the calculated optimal factors.

국내 농업인구 감소 대비 식품소비량이 증가함에 따라 농가의 인력을 대체하고 다양한 작업이 가능하며 가격이 저렴한 국내 기계화 기술이 필요하다. 무동력 디스크해로우 작업기는 경운과 배토가 가능한 복합작업기로서 작업기를 구성하는 주요 구성품들은 필드작업에 의해 발생되는 하중에 구조적 강도와 신뢰성이 충분히 확보되어야 한다. 또한, 실제로 필드 작업 시 작업기에 걸리는 하중은 복합하중 형태로 전달되기 때문에 단순한 형태 하중에 비해 하중계측에 어려운 점이 있으므로 하중계측점의 선정이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 하중계측점을 선정하기 위하여 복합기의 주요 구성품인 치즐(chisel) 및 디스크해로우암(disk harrow arm)에 대하여 구조해석을 수행하였으며, 3축 방향의 단위하중 응력 계산결과로부터 load reconstruction을 위한 스트레인 게이지 위치를 선정하였다. 또한, 스트레인 게이지의 신호가 하중해석에 적절한 값이 되도록 기존의 형상을 수정하였다.

In this work, effects of hyper-elastic rubber material properties on the indentation load-deflection curve and subindenter deformation are first examined via finite element (FE) analyses. An optimal data acquisition spot is selected, which features maximum strain energy density and negligible frictional effect. We then contrive two normalized functions, which map an indentation load vs. deflection curve into a strain energy density vs. first invariant curve. From the strain energy density vs. first invariant curve, we can extract the rubber material properties. This new spherical indentation approach produces the rubber material properties in a manner more effective than the common uniaxial tensile/compression tests. The indentation approach successfully measures the rubber material properties and the corresponding nominal stress-strain curve.

In this paper, mechanical behavior of unidirectional composites with flexible matrix was predicted by geometrical non-linear finite element analysis. Two typical idealized unit cells of square and hexagonal fiber arrays were modeled and these were subjected to different loadings. The stress-strain behavior of composites was predicted from which the effective properties were calculated. The hyperelasticity of polyurethane matrix was considered using Mooney-Rivlin model. In result, the stress-strain behavior of flexible composites shows non-linearity, especially it is remarkable under transverse normal and shear loading conditions. In this cases, there are great difference between square and hexagonal fiber array models.

In that case, this study evaluates the structural safety about increasing the specific weight. The 4-type bridges(RC slab bridge, RC rigid-frame bridge, PSC Beam bridge, Steel box girder bridge) pavement's increasing the total dead load is in 1 ~ 2%. Design moments in a load combination are increased less then 2%. safety factor is decreased less than 3%. Therefore, the structural safety has no problem for applying the electric arc furnace slag within PMC in bridge.

Industrial and environmental facilities, which are national growth engine, must sustain their structural safety and maintain their process to continue production activities under various load conditions including natural hazards. In this study, by improving existing design codes which aim to secure the structural safety only, new structural and seismic design codes are proposed to secure both the structural safety and the operability of facilities. In the proposed structural design code, a variety of loads to reflect the characteristics of industrial and environmental facilities are considered and load combinations for the ultimate strength design and the allowable stress design of structures are suggested. Considering the importance of a unit industrial facility and that of a unit process, the seismic design class, design earthquake, and seismic performance level of a unit component are determined to achieve the dual seismic performance objectives for securing both the structural safety and the operability. Also, the proposed design code are applied to an example of an environmental facility in order to examine its applicability.

Stress softening behaviors of SBR vulcanizates reinforced with silica or carbon black were studied. Two types of SBR with different 1,2-unit contents of 18 and 60 wt% were used and three filler systems of carbon black and silica with/without silane coupling agent were employed. Stress softening behaviors of the SBR vulcanizates were varied with the SBR types as well as the filler systems. The silica-filled rubber specimens had higher residual strains than the carbon black-filled ones. The residual strains of silica-filled vulcanizates were remarkably reduced by adding a silane coupling agent. The maximum loads at 50% maximum stretch of the carbon black-filled vulcanizates were lower than those of the silica-filled ones. On the contrary, the maximum loads at 200% maximum stretch of the carbon black-filled vulcanizates were higher than those of the silica-filled ones. The maximum loads of the specimens with the 1,2-unit content of 60 wt% are higher than those with the 1,2-unit content of 18 wt% irrespective of the filler systems.
