This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of the curling behavior of long-span pavement slabs under environmental loads. By developing and using finite element models of the long-span pavement slabs, the stress distribution and the effects of slab length, slab thickness, stiffness of underlying layers, and the restraints of the slab ends on the curling behavior were analyzed. In addition, the field experiments were performed with the actual long-span pavement slab to obtain the curling behavior of the real structure under environmental loads. As a result of this study, it was found that the vertical displacements of the long-span pavement slab along the centerline due to the curling behavior were zero except for the areas near the slab ends, and the curling stresses were maximum and constant where the displacements were zero. The slab length and the stiffness of underlying layers did not affect the maximum curling stresses. The restraints at the slab ends made the curling stresses occur near the slab ends, but did not much affect the maximum curling stresses.

The strain fields due to precipitates, especially S-phase $(Al_2CuMg)$ particles in Al-2.5Cu-1.5Mg wt.% alloy were first investigated with Large Angle Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (LACBED) method. The work involves LACBED pattern simulations to estimate possibly the strength of the strain fields. To do this the morphology of S-particle was optimized as a cylindrical shape with $a_s$ axis, and the displacement vector of strain fields was assumed to be perpendicular to $a_s$ axis. With this simple model the reasonable fittings between the observed patterns of the strain fields and simulations were obtained. And in the early aging stage of the alloy the significant strain fields were not observed. As a result of this study it is expected that the strain fields due to S-phase precipitates in the stage with maximum hardness would make a complex networks to possibly contribute to hardiness of the alloy.

Superdiffusive transport motions of passive scalars are numerically considered for various advection velocity fields. Calculated exponents ${\alpha}$ in the superdiffusion-defining relation ${\sigma}^2(t){\sim}t^{\alpha}$ for model flow fields agree to the theoretically predicted values. Simulation results show that the superdiffusion takes place as the tracers' motion become less random, compared to their motion at the pure molecular diffusion. Whether the flow field is random or not, degrees of superdiffusion are directly related to the velocity autocorrelation functions along the tracers Lagrangian trajectories that characterize degrees of randomness of the tracers' motion.

장경간 케이블 교량은 과도한 변위 발생 등의 이유로 엄격한 안전성 및 사용성이 요구되는 철도교량에서는 제한적으로 적용되고 있다. 즉, 철도교량으로서 요구되는 주행안전성과 승차감을 만족하기 위해서는 면밀한 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 교량/열차 상호작용 해석을 수행하여 열차에서의 응답을 통해 교량 상을 주행하는 열차의 주행안전성 및 승차감을 직접적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 즉, 중앙경간 300m의 현수교를 주행하는 KTX 열차에 대하여 열차 내부의 가속도와 윤중감소율을 구해 평가하는 방법을 취하였다. 또한, 이동 열차하중과 지진하중이 동시에 작용할 경우를 고려한 교량/열차/지진 상호작용해석을 수행하여 지진 시의 응답을 평가하였다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the structural capacity of steel pipe pile specimens reinforced with hollow steel plate shear connectors by pull-out test. Compressive strength testing of concrete was conducted and yield forces, tensile strengths and elongation ratios of re-bars and hollow steel plate were investigated. A 2,000kN capacity UTM was used for the pull-out test with 0.01mm/sec velocity by displacement control method. Strain gauges were installed at the center of re-bars and hollow steel plates and LVDTs were also installed to measure the relative displacement between the loading plate and in-filled concrete pile specimens. The yield forces of the steel pipe pile specimens reinforced with hollow steel plate shear connectors were increased 1.44-fold and 1.53-fold compared to that of a control specimen, respectively. Limited state forces of steel pipe pile specimens reinforced with hollow steel plate shear connectors were increased 1.23-fold and 1.29-fold compared to that of a control specimen, respectively. Yield state displacement and limited state displacement of steel pipe pile specimens reinforced with hollow steel plate shear connector were decreased 0.61-fold and 0.42-fold compared to that of a control specimen, respectively.

The D-InSAR is a technique for precisely measuring the subsidence of subsidence using difference of two SAR images. In order to calculate the subsidence using D-InSAR, a high coherence between master image and the slave image is essential. Since the existing D-InSAR method calculates the displacement based on the total coherence, the accuracy of the subsidence is lowered when the coherence map contains mountains or bare-land. In order to solve this problem, in this study, a point having a temporal coherence and spatial coherence of 0.7 or more was extracted to form TIN, and the subsidence was calculated based on this TIN. In addition, we compared the existing D-InSAR technique with the new D-InSAR technique considering spatial and temporal coherence. As a result, the new D-InSAR technique showed smaller standard deviation, relative variance, variation coefficient and quadrature deviation than the existing D-InSAR technique. It is also easy to grasp the trend of the subsidence.

Recently, as steel structures become higher and more long-spanned, construction of high-strength steels is increasing gradually. Application of high-strength steel can be possible to make a more light and economic steel structures by reducing thickness and space. To apply a high-strength steel to structure, criteria of high-strength steel for buckling is required. However, current specification is not sufficient for criteria of high-strength steels. In this paper, buckling behavior of high-strength steel truss columns with box sections is investigated by using three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite deformation analysis program. The criteria equation for allowable compressive stress of high-strength steel truss columns with box sections is proposed and confirmed the applicability. It is reasonable form analytical results that formulated equations after finding the upper limit of allowable axial direction compression stresses of high-strength steel truss columns. And new equation is suitable to buckling design of high-strength steel truss columns.

The span-lengthening of PSC I girder has increased the risk of lateral instability of the girder with the increases in the aspect ratio and self-weight of the girder. Recently, collapses of PSC I girder during construction raise the necessity of evaluating the lateral instability of the girder. Thus, the present study evaluated the lateral behavior and instability of PSC I girders under wind load, regarded as one of the main causes of the roll-over collapse during construction. Lateral instability of the girder is mainly dependent on the length of the girder and the stiffness of the support. The analysis results of this study showed the decrease in the critical wind load and the increase in the critical deformation and angle of the girder, leading to the lateral instability of the girder. Finally, this study proposed analytical equations that can predict the critical amount of wind load and lateral deformation of the girder, which would provide quantitative management values to maintain lateral stability of PSC I girder during construction.

In this study, the tests were carried out for the behavior according to method of constrained nail head of slope reinforced with soil nail under dynamic loading, by using shaking table. Shaking table tests were carried out by applying Hachinohe seismic wave having the long-period characteristics and Ofunato seismic wave having short-period characteristics, as changing constrained and unconstrained condition of nail head, and so on. Failure mode, ground acceleration characteristics, vertical displacement and horizontal displacement of slope were compared and analyzed on the basis of results obtained from the test. Results of carrying out shaking table test showed that both short-period wave and long-period wave had large effects on slope, and constraint of nail head was found to have large shear resistance for dynamic load. And it was confirmed that stability of slope under seismic loading was largely improved by constrained head of soil nail.
