Shaking table tests are performed on model group piles to investigate the mechanics of dynamic pile-soil interaction, and to evaluate the dynamic group pile effect. Tests are executed on a single pile as well as group piles($3\times3$) by varying a pile spacing from 3D to 8D. A lumped mass is located on top of piles to simulate a superstructure. Dynamic p-y curves of the single pile and the group piles are obtained from the tests and compared with the backbone slopes of API cyclic p-y curves. From the comparisons, dynamic pile group effects are evaluated in terms of a pile spacing, a shaking frequency, and a shaking intensity.

The thesis is for gust factor needing when calculate the wind resistance design. For the gust factor, to the membrane structural model, carry through the wind tunnel test and the static load test. Therefore, at first through the tensile test of the fabric material, designate the material of the membrane structural model. Then, to saddle, wave, arch and point four kinds of basic shape membrane structural models, carry on the wind tunnel test, determine their dynamic load and distortion on lateral direction. Finally, according to distort situation of the membrane structure in the wind tunnel test, carry on the static load experiment outside of the wind tunnel, calculate static load which corresponding with distort. According to dynamic load and the static load, figure out gust factor of these kinds of basic membrane structure.

This paper presents the dynamical responses of the plate girder bridge subjected to moving load by experimental method. The upper slab of the plate girder bridges is modelled to the plate element and the girder to the beam element. The small-scaled vehicle model is manufactured as moving load and the acryl-bridge model as the plate-girder bridge. The dynamic responses of the plate-girder bridges under the moving load are obtained by the strain gauges, displacement measurements, accelerometer, and dynamic strain measurement. The maximum dynamic responses from the measured data are compared with those from the finite element method. The experimental model test can be used to obtain to the dynamic responses of the plate-girder bridges.

It is necessary to conduct researches about seismic design and analysis to protect various structures from earthquakes which are one of the most destructive natural disaster to human civilization. To assess the seismic capacity of structure, not only analytical but also experimental researches are important. Currently, pseudodynamic test known as computer-actuator on-line test is one of the available test methods to assess seismic capacity of structure without using shaking table. In this paper seismic capacity of simple one-degree of freedom structure was estimated by pseudodynamic test. Good agreement between the experimental and analytical results was obtained. Better results would be obtained when more sophisticated measuring and controlling instruments are available.

The Pseudo-dynamic test is a new experimental technique for simulating the earthquake response of structures or structural components in the time domain. It is especially efficient for testing specimens that are too large, heavy or strong to be tested on a shaking table. But, in general, the responses obtained in the Pseudo-dynamic test can be distorted by the experimental errors inevitably during control and measurement procedures. The studies are to investigate the effects of the experimental errors on the Pseudo-dynamic responses and apply a correction method to the Pseudo-dynamic testing algorithm. It is shown that the corrected responses using the equivalent energy compensation method are in a good correlation with the theoretical ones. Thus, the corrected Pseudo-dynamic responses could be reliable for evaluating the seismic performance of structural systems.

The traditional methods for evaluating response surface designs are alphabetic optimality criteria. These single-number criteria such as D-, A-, G- and V-optimality do not completely reflect the prediction variance characteristics of the design in question. Alternatives to single-numbers summaries include graphical displays of the prediction variance across the design regions. We can suggest the animated quantile plots as the animation of the quantile plots and use these animated quantile plots for comparing and evaluating response surface designs.

This paper proposes the real-time hybrid shaking table testing methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of a soil-structure interaction system with dynamic soil stiffness by using only a structure model as the physical specimen and verifies their effectiveness for experimental implementation. Experimental methodologies proposed in this paper adopt such a way that absolute accelerations measured from the superstructure and shaking table are feedback to the shaking table controller, and then the shaking table is driven by the calculated motion of the absolute acceleration (acceleration feedback method) or the absolute velocity (velocity feedback method) of foundation that is required to simulate the dynamic behavior of a whole soil-structure interaction system. The shaking table test is implemented by reflecting the dynamic soil stiffness, which are differently approximated from the theoretical one depending on the feedback methods, on the shaking table controller to calculate soil part. The effectiveness of the proposed experimental methods is verified by comparing the response measured from the test on a foundation-fixed structural model and that obtained from the experiment of a soil-interaction system under the consideration in this paper and by matching the dynamic soil stiffness reflected on the shaking table controller with that identified using the experimentally measured data.

The resonant column testing determines the shear modulus and material damping factor dependent on the shear strain magnitude, based on the wave-propagation theory. The determination of the dynamic soil properties requires the theoretical formulation of the dynamic behavior of the resonant column testing system. One of the theoretical formulations is the use of the wave equation for the soil specimen in the resonant column testing device. Wood, Richart and Hall derived the wave equation by assuming the linear elastic soil, and didn't take the material damping into consideration. Hardin incorporated the viscoelastic damping of soil in the wave equation, but he had to assume the material damping factor for the determination of the shear modulus. For the better theoretical formulation of the resonant column testing, this study derived a new wave equation to include the viscosity of soil, and proposed an approach for the solution. Also, in this study, the equation of motion for the testing system, which is another approach of the theoretical formulation of the resonant column testing, was also derived. The equation of motion leads to the better understanding of the resonant column testing, which includes the dynamic magnification factor and the phase angle of the response. For the verification of the proposed equation of motion for the resonant column testing, the finite element analysis was performed for the resonant column testing. The comparison of the dynamic magnification factors and the phase angles far the system response were performed.

빙판파괴 형태는 여러 모드의 합성이며 실제로 한 가지 양식으로 파괴되는 경우는 거의 일어나지 않는다. 이제까지 빙하중 해석 이론이나 방법은 한 가지 양식에 기준하는 것이었다. 이 논문에서는 합성모드로 빙판이 파괴될 때 해양구조물에 작용하는 빙하중 추정방법을 소개하여 모형 실험결과치와 그 결과를 비교하였다. 두 가지 합성모드에 대한 빙하중 추정방법인 비례파괴해석법 (Proportional Failure Method)과 국부경계해석법(Local Ice boundary Method)을 본논문에 소개하였으며, 이 두가지 방법과 함께 널리 알려진 Crushing 해석방법을 적용하여 정적 및 동적 구조물에 작용하는 빙하중을 산출/비교하였다. 동적구조물은 쇄빙선을 이용하였고, 쇄빙선이 SPM 터미널에 monopod로 연결되어있는 형태를 선택하였다. 모형 실험은 Finland의 Wartsila 실험실에서 실시 하였고, 이 실험을 통하여 쇄빙선에 작용하는 빙력 및 시간별 쇄빙선의 동적 움직임을 측정하였다. 이 논문에서는 위에서 소개된 세가지 방법으로 계산된 빙하중과 실험측정결과를 비교하였고, 이론적으로 추정한 쇄빙선의 운동을 실혐결과치와 비교하였다. Crushing방법으로 산출한 빙하중은 실제치보다 상당히 높았고, 비례파괴해석법은 Crushing 방법보다 정확한 결과를 보여주었으며, 국부경계해석법은 상당히 모형실험측정치와 가까웠다. 물론 쇄빙선의 움직임도 빙하중에 따라 변화가 심했고, 국부 경계해석법을 적용했을 때 실제 쇄빙선의 동적움직임을 가장 가깝게 추정할 수 있었다.
