Nowadays, the importance of the information management of construction sites to achieve the goal of safety construction. This management uses the collaborated analysis of in-situ monitoring data and numerical analysis, especially of an earth retaining structures of excavation sites. In this paper, the fractal theory was applied to actually monitored data from various excavation sites to develop the alternative interpolation technique which could predict the displacement behavior of unknown location around the monitoring locations and the future behavior of the monitoring locations with the steps of excavation. Data, mainly from inclinometer, were collected from various sites where retaining structures were collapsed during construction period, as well as from normal sites with the characteristics of geology, excavation method etc. In the analyses, Hurst exponent (H) was estimated with monitored periods using the Rescaled range analysis (R/S analysis) method applying the H in simulation processes. As the results of the analyses, Hurst exponents were ranged from 0.7 to 0.9 and showed the positive correlation of H > 1/2. The simulation processes, then, with the Hurst exponent estimated by Rescaled range analysis method showed reliable results. In addition, it was also expected that the variation of Hurst exponents with the monitoring period could instruct the abnormal behavior of an earth retaining structures to directors or operators. Therefore it was concluded that fractal theory could be applied for predicting the lateral displacement of unknown location and the future behavior of an earth retaining structures to manage the safety of construction sites during excavation period.

Fatigue life prediction methodology of the rubber component made of vulcanized natural rubber under variable amplitude loadings was studied. The displacement-controlled fatigue tests were conducted at different levels and the maximum Green-Lagrange strain was selected as damage parameters. A fatigue life curve of the rubber represented by the maximum Green-Lagrange strain was determined from the nonlinear finite element analysis. The transmission load history of SAE as variable amplitude loading was used to perform the fatigue life prediction. And then a signal processing of variable loading by racetrack and simplified rainflow cycle counting methods were performed. The modified miner's rule as cumulative damage summation was used. Finally, when the gate value is 30%, the predicted fatigue life of the rubber component agreed well with the experimental fatigue lives with a factor of two.

The purpose of this study is to present a rational analytical method for predicting the behavioral characteristics from crack occurrence to fracture for a one-way CFRP grid reinforced concrete slab specimen. A total of four specimens were selected by Zhang et al.(2004) as the main experimental variables for CFRP grid amount, material properties and loading method. Analysis was performed through the Nonlinear Finite Element analysis program(RCAHEST), which applied the newly modified constitutive relational equations by the author. The mean and coefficient of variation for maximum moment from the experiment and analysis results was predicted 1.38 and 7 %. The mean and coefficient of variation for displacement corresponding maximum moment from the experiment and analysis results was predicted 1.41and 9.8 %. The prediction results for the behavioral characteristics from crack occurrence to fracture were verified and evaluated. It is judged that additional research is needed to secure various experimental results and to develop a more reliable analytical method.

Fatigue life prediction of matrix dominated composite laminates, which have a nonlinear stress/strain response, was studied analytically and experimentally. A stress function describing the relation of initial fatigue modulus and elastic modulus was used in order to consider the material nonlinearty. New modified fatigue life prediction equation was suggested based on the fatigue modulus and reference modulus concept as a function of applied stress. The prediction was verified by torsional fatigue test using crossply carbon/epoxy laminate tubes. It was shown that the proposed equation has wide applicability and good agreement with experimental data.

본 논문에서는 스크린 컨텐츠 동영상의 효율적인 압축을 위한 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 제안 부호화 기법은 RGB 색 요소 간의 신호의 통계적 중복성을 줄이기 위한 적응적 색 변환 기법에 기반한다. 기존의 색 변환 기법들은 스크린 컨텐츠 동영상이 포함하는 신호의 급격히 변화하는 ?계적 특성에 적용하기 어려운 반면 제안 방식에서는 부호화 블록의 시간적/공간적 주위 픽셀의 정보를 이용한 성분 분석을 통해 색 공간 변환 행렬식을 유도하여 부호화에 사용한다. 주위 픽셀 정보는 부호화 블록의 예측 방식에 따라 결정하며 움직임 벡터를 이용한 시간/변위 예측 부호 방식에서는 참조 블록의 정보를 이용하고 공간적 예측 방식에서는 블록의 인접 픽셀를 이용한다. 부호기 측에서는 비트율-왜곡 최적화를 통하여 예측 후 잔여신호의 부호화를 원래의 RGB 공간에서 수행할지 또는 색 변환한 공간에서 수행할지를 결정하고 관련 정보를 표시하여 블록 단위로 전송함으로써 부호화 효율을 증대한다. 실험에 의하면 제안 기법은 기존 압축 방식 대비 탁월한 부호화 성능을 제공함을 보인다.

The sequential behavior of earth retaining structure is investigated by using soil springs in elasto -plastic soil. Mathematical model that can be used to construct the p-y curves for subgrade modulus is proposed by using piecewise linear function. The excavation sequence of retaining wall is analyzed by the beam -column method. Reliability on the developed computer program is verfied through the comparison between the prediction and the in -situ measuidments. It is concluded that the proposed method simulates well the construction sequence and thus represents a significant improvement in the prediction of deflections of anchored wall excavation. Based on the results the proposed method can be effectively used for the evaluation of the relative importance of the parameters employed in a sensitivity analysis.

The control and prediction of surface settlement, gradient and ground displacement are the main factors in urban tunnel construction. This paper carried out the estimation and prediction of ground behavior around tunnel due to excavation using computational method and case study in detail for the analysis of deformation behavior in urban NATM tunnel. Computational method was performed by FLAC-2D with strain softening model and elastic plastic model. Field measurements of surface subsidence and ground displacement were adopted to monitor the ground behavior resulting from the tunneling and these values were applied to modify tunnel design parameters on construction.

A computer program evaluating the pile downdrag is developed using the conventional elastic solid method. Modification of the conventional method has been performed by introducing the concept of critical relative displacement. A simple transfer function method which employes the critical relative displacement as a pile-soil slip criterion and calculates downdrag by Mohr-Coulomb equation, has also been developed. The results of three methods are all found to be in good agreement with field observations. When they are applied to a centrifuge modeling problem of pile downdrag to predict its result, however, diverse answers are obtained. Overall, the simple transfer function method developed in this study seems to be the most effective in the evaluation of pile downdrag, considering the quality of its result and its efficiency in computation.

Differential equations and their solutions were formulated to describe the deflection of the tapered, nonuniform thickness and width's temple, clamped at one end while the perpendicular force is acting on the other end which is freely suspended. The model was derived based on laws of continuity at every point inside the elastic medium that the deflection, tangent slope, bending moment, shearing force must be continuous within the medium. The model is found to be in good agreement with measurements on the beta titanium temple with the correlation 0.992 and p=0.999(Chi test). Therefore it is possible to predict the effect of various temple parameters such as elastic modulus, thickness, width on the deflection of the temples being considered.

In this paper, we focus on improving the performance of the piezoelectric diaphragms of valveless micropumps. A circular lightweight piezoelectric composite actuator (LIPCA) with a high level of displacement and output force has been developed for piezoelectrically actuated micropumps. We used numerical and experimental methods to analyze the characteristics of the actuator to select optimal design. With the developed circular LIPCA, we fabricated a valveless micropump by photo-lithography and PDMS molding techniques. The displacement of the diaphragm, the flow rate and the back pressure of the micropump were evaluated and discussed. With a semi-empirical method, the flow rate with respect to driving frequency was predicted and compared with experimental one. The test results confirm that the circular LIPCA is a promising candidate for micropump application and can be used as a substitute for a conventional piezoelectric actuator diaphragm.
