A column resisting axial load and seismic load is one of the main members in a structural system. The heated column by event of a fire can lose its strength and it may damage its structural system or cause the collapse of the entire structural system. In this study, the fire resistance capacity of internally confined hollow concrete filled tube (ICH CFT) column was investigated. In an ICH CFT column, the yield strength of the external tube is important as a concrete filled tube (CFT) column because the external tube confines the filled concrete and the strength of the column depends on the confined effect. A study was performed by finite element analyses considering the confined effect and material nonlinearity as the temperature changes by the fire. The hollow ratio, the thickness of the external tube, and the strength of concrete were selected as the parameters for the analyses. The analyses were performed by using a commercial FEA program (ABAQUS) and nonlinear concrete model program. The analysis results showed that the hollow ratio and the strength of concrete mainly affect the fire resisting capacity of an ICH CFT column.

Researches on fire resistant performance of primary structural elements such as columns and beams located at above the ground have actively been doing than those located at the below the ground from many researchers. But the structural elements such as columns at underground is very important in aspects of not only structural performance but also fire environment. The columns at the basement carry all the structural loads from the above and that means very critical in fire circumstances than that located at above the grounds. To evaluate the fire resistance performance of primary structural elements located at below the ground we conducted several sorts of surveys that contained fire regulations from several countries and structural types, materials and status of passive fire protection methods.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of the low-rise RC apartment buildings having piloties at ground level by using nonlinear static analysis with regards to the maximum considered and design earthquakes in Korea. To do this, the target displacement at roof was estimated according to FEMA356 (or ASCE/SEI-41), and the deformations of the critical members were compared with the failure criteria of Life Safety(LS) and Collapse Prevention(CP) given in FEMA356. The conclusions are as follows: (1) columns satisfy criteria of LS and CP, but (2) the shear wall in the longitudinal direction failed to satisfy those of both LS and CP while those in the transverse direction satisfy that of LS, but failed that of CP.

Recently, the probability of collision accident between vehicles or vessels and infrastructures are increasing at alarming rate. Particularly, collision impact load can be detrimental to sub-structures such as piers and columns. The damaged pier from an impact load of a vehicle or a vessel can lead to member damages, which make the member more vulnerable to impact load due to other accidents which. In extreme case, may cause structural collapse. Therefore, in this study, the vehicle impact load on concrete compression member was considered to assess the quantitative design resistance capacity to improve, the existing design method and to setup the new damage assessment method. The case study was carried out using the LS-DYNA, an explicit finite element analysis program. The parameters for the case study were cross-section variation of pier, impact load angle, permanent axial load and axial load ratio, concrete strength, longitudinal and lateral rebar ratios, and slenderness ratio. Using the analysis results, the performance based resistance capacity evaluation method for impact load using satisfaction curve was developed using Bayesian probabilistic method, which can be applied to reinforced concrete column design for impact loads.

Unusual extreme weather events, which exceed a safe design capacity of the infrastructure, increase the frequency of natural disasters and has also been enlarged damage scale. Aging buildings and rapid urban progress act as weighting factors for the new composite disasters. Technological advances support detecting pre-disaster risk, real-time data analysis, and rapid response to the disaster site, but it is insufficient that emergency relief for buried alive must take advantage of the proven technologies through field tests. This study aims to evaluate directional drilling performance through underground soils and the reinforced concrete structure for primary lifeline installation in order to quickly provide relief supplies for buried alive when urban structures collapse.

Slope failure analysis entails proper understanding of various factors as well as the characteristics of ground conditions, which are difficult to achieve due to technological limits. Despite a number of past studies to clarify possible factors triggering slope failures, the impact of rainfall characteristics and infiltration rate, which are the key to estimation of slope stability in wet condition, on slope failures still remains unclear. This study has estimated permeability against various unit weights of soil based on constant head permeability tests using Jumunjin standard silica sand. One dimensional infiltration tests were conducted to estimate the infiltration capacity and the amount of infiltration taking into account the permeability and rainfall intensity. The applicability of existing empirical equations for the estimation of infiltration to granular soils was verified on the basis of the test results.

As increasing number of large-size earthquake around Korean peninsula, many interests have been focused to the earthquake strengthening of existing structures. The brittle fracture of Non-seismic designed columns lead to full collapse of the building. In the past, cross-sectional extension method, a steel plate reinforcing method and fiver-reinforced method are applied to Seismic Rehabilitation Technique mainly. However, the reinforcement methods have drawbacks that induce physical damage to structures, large space, long duration time. So, in this study, performance evaluation of previously developed FRP seismic reinforcement which do not induce physical damage and short duration time was enforced. The specimens were constructed with 80% downscale. FRP seismic reinforcement are manufactured of glass fiber or aluminum plate with holes and glass fiber. From the experiment results, seismic performance of specimens which reinforced with FRP seismic reinforcement were increased.

In Korea, the rockfall prevention fence is designed with 50kJ of rockfall kinetic energy in order to prevent damages such as falling rocks and landslides. In the case of rockfall kinetic energy, it is highly dependent on the shape of the slope on which it occurs. As a previous study, a fence performance evaluation was conducted for 100kJ rockfall impact energy using ETAG 27. However, previous studies have focused on newly installed rockfall prevention fences. In this study, a reinforcing materials was installed on the existing rockfall prevention fence through numerical analysis, and the structural performance of the high-strength rockfall prevention fence capable of defending against 120kJ of rockfall kinetic energy was evaluated.
