Even though a lot of advanced researches on analysis, design, and performance evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) under seismic action have been carried out, there has been only a few study on seismic analysis of underground RC structures surrounding soil medium. Since the underground RC structures interact with surrounding soil medium, a path-dependent soil model which can predict the soil response is necessary for analyzing behavior of the structure inside soil medium. The behavior of interfacial zone between the RC structure and the surrounding medium should be also considered for more accurate seismic analysis of the RC structure. In this paper, an averaged constitutive model of concrete and reinforcing bars for RC structure and path-dependent Ohsaki's model for soil are applied, and an elasto-plastic interface model having thickness is proposed for seismic analysis of underground RC structures. A finite element analysis technique is developed by applying aforementioned constitutive equations and is verified by predicting both static and dynamic behaviors of RC structures. Then, failure mechanisms of underground RC structure under seismic action are numerically derived through seismic analysis of underground RC station structure under different seismic forces. Finally, the changes of failure mode and the damage level of the structures are also analytically derived for different design cases of underground RC structures.

The chloride diffusion coefficient is a critical indicator for assessing the durability of concrete marine substructures. This study develops a prediction model for the chloride diffusion coefficient using data from concrete bridges located in marine exposure zones (atmospheric, splash, tidal), an aspect that has not been considered in previous studies. Chloride profile data obtained from these bridge substructures were utilized. After data preprocessing, machine learning models, including Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), were optimized through hyperparameter tuning. The performance of these models was developed and compared under three different variable sets. The first model uses six variables: water-to-binder (W/B) ratio, cement type, coarse aggregate volume ratio, service life, strength, and exposure environment. The second model excludes the exposure environment, using only the remaining five variables. The third model relies on just three variables: service life, strength, and exposure environment factors that can be obtained from precision safety diagnostics. The results indicate that including the exposure environment significantly enhances model performance for predicting the chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete bridges in marine environments. Additionally, the three variable model demonstrates that effective predictions can be made using only data from precision safety diagnostics.

This study has developed a water balance model for the catchment of Byungchun river using a BROOK90 4.4e physical deterministic water balance model with the long-term meterological data and stream run off data obtained from the basin of Byungchun river in Korea. It is intended that the validation model with calibrated model fitting parameter can build a long-term water balance plan for a period when meterological data are available but stream runoff data are not. Results of this study have satisfied the first expectation as an experiment for water balance modeling since measured stream runoff data have turned out to be very similar to simulated stream runoff data. Through the confirmation of model fitting parameters and validated simulation, water balance for the period of 1998 to 2006 has been restored. Unless the conditions of geomophology, vegetation, soil and land use change, meterological data alone can produce various hydrometeorological data related to stream runoff amount, soil water amount, and evapotranspiration. This study opens up a new horizon in restoring water balance in the past as well planning water balance in the present. The obtained results from this study are expected to be used in predicting future water balance in the wake of the changes in climate and vegetation in Korea.

Constitutive modeling of constituent materials is very important for reinforced concrete (RC) frames. Cyclic constitutive behavior of unconfined concrete, confined concrete and reinforcing steel should be well defined in fiber-based discretization of RC sections. This study performs nonlinear dynamic analyses of RC frame structures to investigate the sensitivity of seismic behavior of such frames to different constitutive models of constituent materials. The study specifically attempts to examine confinement effects in concrete modeling and degrading effects in steel modeling, which substantially affects the monotonic, cyclic and seismic responses of RC members and frames. Based on the system level analysis, it is shown that the response of non-ductile frames is less sensitive to confined concrete models while the modeling of reinforcing steel is quite influential to the inelastic response of both non-ductile and ductile frames.

최근 급격한 기후변화와 하천수 사용량의 증가로 수문학적 변동성이 증가하면서 지표수와 지하수의 통합 관리 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 이에 따라 SWAT-MODFLOW 모델은 지표수와 지하수 간의 수문학적 상호작용을 고려한 시공간적 지하수함양량의 분포와 하천과 대수층 간의 물 교환량, 장기 유출 및 수질 거동 해석 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이 모델은 국내 농업 유역 내 담수 논에서의 영농활동을 고려한 시단위 유출 및 수질 예측과 지표수-지하수 통합 해석에 어려움이 있다. 우리나라의 경우 전국 농지 면적 중 논이 약 50%를 차지하고 있음에도 불구하고 아직까지 국내 담수 논 특성을 고려하여 지표수-지하수 통합 해석이 가능한 수문 모델이 개발 된 바 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고해상도 시강우량에 따른 담수 논에서의 증발, 침투, 관개, 배수 등 모의가 가능한 Hourly SWAT-PADDY 모듈을 개발하고, SWAT-MODFLOW 모델의 수문 프로세스와의 연계를 통해 지표수-지하수 통합 해석이 가능한 Hourly SWAT-MODFLOW-PADDY 모델을 개발하였다. Hourly SWAT-MODFLOW-PADDY 모델은 사용자가 구축한 담수 논의 입력자료(담수, 관개, 낙수 일정 등)를 기준으로 논의 담수 및 비담수 시기에 따른 시단위 물수지 해석과 이를 고려한 유출량, 수질, 지하수함양량, 하천과 대수층 간의 물 교환량 산정이 가능하다. 본 연구에서 개발 된 Hourly SWAT-MODFLOW-PADDY 모델은 국내 농업 유역에서의 지표수-지하수 통합 관리 대책 수립 방향을 제시하기 위한 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 향후 논의 관개 용수 공급원 연계를 통한 모델의 고도화 방안과 최적의 논 영농 데이터베이스가 마련된다면 보다 정량적인 물수지 해석 기반의 지표수-지하수 통합 모델링이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

미세퇴적물 이동연구는 최근 실험실 실험 또는 현장 자료에 의해 많은 진전을 이루어 왔으나, 아직은 미세, 점착성 퇴적물의 복잡한 과정을 다 고려한 신뢰성 있는 이동예측 수치모델의 개발에 충분한 지식이 축적되어 있지 않다. 수치모델에 의한 예측 기술을 계발하는데 있어서 해결해야 할 중요한 문제는 해저면에서의 퇴적물의 수송량을 정량화하는 일로서 난류하에서 점착성 퇴적물의 복잡한 퇴적 관련 현상에 관한 실험적 연구에 의해 각종 파라미터의 정량화가 요구된다.(중략)

Noise and vibration induced by subway operation are one of the major factor that annoy residents living near the subway tracks. In general, lateral vibration is the major concern when we are considering vibration of a building. However, the vertical vibration is the major concern in considering the vibration induced by the subway operation. Analysis model for the vertical vibration of the structure should consider the effect of beam vibration. Thus, the same model used for the lateral vibration analysis can not be used for an analysis of vertical vibration of the structure. Appropriate analysis model which can consider the inertia force of the beam is necessary when analyzing a structure for the vertical vibration. Modeling technique for the vertical vibration analysis of structures has been studied on this paper. It is recommended to use one or more elements for columns and to use two or more elements for beams when analyzing structures for vertical vibration induced by subway operation.

The changes of beach profile with a natural longshore bar and beach profile with a fixed artificial bar are studied, respectively, using a numerical model. The quasi three dimensional wave-current-sediment transport model is applied with an addition of boundary condition for sediment transport on the artificial structure under water. The study shows that the natural bar adapts itself to the change of coastal physical environment by adjusting its location but the fixed artificial bar causes the formation of a second natural bar seaward of the fixed bar and scouring at the rear of the fixed bar. This study can be applied to work on the change of beach profile with submerged breakwaters.
