For the deep underground excavation site with the geological complexity of soft seam and hard rock, the numerical analysis and in-situ measurement on the behaviors of roadway and surrounding rock according to stepwise excavation of the steep soft seam are carried out. The strata behavior is modeled using elasto-plastic FEM considering the empirical failure criteria of Hoek ＆ Brown and the strain-softening model. Hydraulic pressure capsule, MPBX and tape extensometer are installed around the roadway for the in-situ measurement of rock stress and deformation. Despite the complexity of geology and excavation procedure, the elasto-plastic analysis considering the empirical failure criteria of Hoek ＆ Brown and the strain-softening model shows good agreement with the in-situ measurement. Comparison of numerical modeling with in-situ measurement enables to predict the behaviors of the roadway and to obtain design parameters for the excavation and support at depth.

This paper is concerned with the development, and performance test of LIPCA (Lightweight Piezo-composite Curved Actuator) that is lighter than other conventional piezo-composite type actuators. LIPCA is composed of top fiber composite layers with a high modulus and low CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion), a middle PZT cermaic wafer, and base layers with a high modulus and high CTE. The performance of each actuator was evaluated using an actuator test system consisting of an actuator supporting jig, a high voltage actuating power supplier, and a non-contact laser measuring system. The simply supported condition actuator was excited by the power supplier with 1.0Hz cycle and up to $100\sim400V_{pp}$. The displacement at the center point of actuator was measured with non-contact laser displacement measuring system, It has been shown that the LIPCA-C2 can 34% decrease in mass and 13% increase in displacement compared to THUNDER.

We present a new technique for multilevel editing of hierarchical B-spline curves. At each level, control points of a displacement function are expressed in the rotation minimizing frames (RMFs) [1] which are computed on nodal points of the curve at previous level. When the curve is edited at previous level, the corresponding RMFs are updated and the control points of the displacement function at current level are applied to the new RMFs, which maintains the relative details of the curve at current level to those of previous level. We demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed technique using several experimental results.

The governing equation and force-displacement rotations of a beam-column element on elastic foundation we derived based on variational approach of total potential energy. An exact static and dynamic 4×4 element stiffness matrix of the beam-column element is established via a generalized lineal-eigenvalue problem by introducing 4 displacement parameters and a system of linear algebraic equations with complex matrices. The structure stiffness matrix is established by the conventional direct stiffness method. In addition the F. E. procedure is presented by using Hermitian polynomials as shape function and evaluating the corresponding elastic and geometric stiffness and the mass matrix. In order to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the beam-column element using exact dynamic stiffness matrix, buckling loads and natural frequencies are calculated for the continuous beam structures and the results are compared with F E. solutions.

낙동강 하구지역 연직배수공법이 적용된 연약지반에서 성토시 발생할 수 있는 지반의 측방변형에 대해 3개소 현장 35개 지점에서 수행한 현장 계측데이터를 분석하였다. 성토과정에서 측방변형 패턴 및 변형량을 파악하는데 가장 우선적으로 파악해야 할 계측항목이 지중경사계이며 지반특성별 측방변형 패턴(최대 측방변위발생 지점, 전단변위 발생지점, 지층에 따른 변위발생 형태 등)의 정밀 분석을 위해서는 지중경사계가 설치된 지점의 지층구성을 파악하는 것이 가장 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 최대 측방변위량과 성토체 중앙부 침하량과의 관계에서는 Tavenas et al.(1979)이 제안한 ${\Delta}_y=(0.18+0.09){\Delta}_s$이하로 관측되었다. 또한 측방변형 억제 및 인접지반의 동반침하를 차단하기 위해 보강된 D.C.M., C.I.P.구간에서는 Tavenas et al.(1979)이 제안한 ${\Delta}_y=(0.18-0.09){\Delta}_s$이하로 관측되었다. 최대 측방변위량과 성토속도와의 관계에서는 과잉간극수압 소산에 필요한 충분한 시간과 원활한 배수가 될 수 있도록 시공관리(성토속도조절, 배수관리 철저)하는 것이 무엇보다도 중요하다는 사실을 다시 한 번 확인 할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 편재하중 재하에 따른 인접 지반 및 구조물의 침하 및 기울기 변화는 측방유동에 의한 거동과 함께 압밀침하에 의한 제체의 체적감소로 인한 인접지반의 동반침하가 상당기간 동안 발생하고 있는 것으로 관측되었다.

This study proposed a convenient seismic design procedure for buckling-restrained braced frames based on the equivalent energy concept. The design process begins with the computation of input energy from response spectrum. Then the elastic energy and plastic energy are computed based on the equal energy concept. The computed plastic energy is distributed to each story along energy distribution ratio and the cross-sectional area of each brace is computed so that all the plastic energy is dissipated by the brace. The proposed procedure was applied to the design of three-, six-, and twenty-story steel frames with buckling-restrained braces, and artificial earthquake records were used for verification of the proposed method. According to analysis results, top story displacements of the low-rise structure satisfies the given target displacement however that of the twenty-story structure was much smaller than the given target displacement.

In this study seismic design procedure for buckling-restrained braced frame systems was proposed using hysteretic energy spectrum and accumulated ductility spectrum constructed from single degree of freedom systems. The hysteretic energy spectra and accumulated ductility spectra corresponding to target ductility ratio were constructed first. The cross-sectional area of braces required to meet a given target displacement was obtained by equating the hysteretic energy demand to the accumulated plastic energy dissipated by braces. Twenty earthquake records were utilized to construct the spectra and to verify the validity of the design procedure. According to analysis results of three- and eight-story buckling-restrained braced frame structures designed using the proposed method, the mean values for the top story displacement correspond well with the given performance target displacements. Also, the inter-story drifts turned out to be relatively uniform over the structure height, which is desirable because uniform inter-story drifts indicate uniform damage distribution. Therefore if was concluded that the proposed energy-based method could be a reliable alternative to conventional strength-based design procedure for structures with buckling-restrained braces.

The bonded tendon was adopted to the reactor building of some operating nuclear power plants in Korea and the assessment of the effective prestress force on the bonded tendon is being issued as an important pending problem for continuous operation beyond their design life. The sensitivity analysis of various parameters was carried out to evaluate the effective prestress force using the system identification technique and the optimal parameters were determined for SI technique in this study. The 1/5 scaled post-tensioned concrete beams with the bonded tendon type were manufactured and in order to investigate the relationship of the natural frequency and the displacement to the effective prestress force, impact test, SIMO sine sweep test and bending test using the optical fiber sensor and the compact displacement transducer were carried out. As a result of tests, both the natural frequency and the displacement show the good relationship with the effective prestress force and both parameters are available for the SI technique to estimate the effective prestress force.

최근 자동차기술의 발달로 인한 차량의 경량화, 고급화 추세는 더욱 개선된 승차감을 요구하고 있다. 승차감에 영향을 미치는 주요인으로서는 엔진의 진동과 소음, 변속장치, 구동축 등의 구동 계통의 진동 및 소음, 그리고 노면으로부터의 진동, 외부 공기의 흐름에 의한 소음 등 여러가지가 있다. 엔진지지계는 이중 엔진의 진동 및 소음을 절연하는 기능을 맡고 있고 동시에 엔진하중의 지지, 변위제한, 충격흡수 등의 기능도 가지고 있다. 실제에 있어서 엔진지지계는 진동 및 소음 절연의 기능 외에 다른 기능도 갖고 있으나 이중 가장 어렵고 해석이 곤란한 것은 결국 진동절 연성능이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 여러 가지 제약조건이 있으므로 최적의 진동절연특성의 실 현이 항상 가능한 것은 아니고 방진고무의 특성치난 지지각도 등의 어느 범위안에서만 선택이 가능하므로 실제 설계에 있어서는 적용상의 특정조건을 만족시키는 초기설계치를 정하여 그때의 진동절연특성을 평가하고 기준이하일때는 설계치를 재조정하여 다시 평가하는 접근방식이 실질 적이다. 따라서 이 설계과정에 필요한 엔진지지계의 진동절연특성해석 및 평가용 컴퓨터 프로 그램을 개발하였으며 그 해석치와 실험결과를 비교하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

A new solution procedure for approximate reanalysis, using the staged hybrid methods with substructuring, is proposed in this study. Displacements are calculated with two step mixed procedures. First step is to introduce the conservative approximation, which is a hybrid form of the linear and reciprocal approximation, as local approximation. In the next step, it is combined with the global approximation by reduced basis approach. Stresses are evaluated from the displacements by matrix transformation. The quality of reanalyzed quantities can be greatly improved through these staged hybrid approximations, specially for large changes in the design. Overall procedures are based on substructuring scheme. Several numerical examples illustrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
