This paper is focused on the determination of friction parameter which is a predominant factor in the design of inflatable structure system. This inflatable structure system is very valuably used to protect passively and rapidly the possibilities of tunnel damages by flooding threats and unusual leakage to be occurred during and after underground infrastructure construction. In particular, this system should be necessary in subsea tunnel. This study presents the experimental results obtained from the relative friction characteristics tests of the fabric materials that constitute the inflatable structure. In order to evaluate the relative friction behaviour of the inflatable structure system, friction tests and scaled model tunnel friction tests are carried out. The friction tests are carried out to determine the friction coefficient for different surface conditions between tunnel and inflatable structure. These friction coefficients are then evaluated and compared with the result obtained from the model tunnel friction tests. Interaction behaviours between tunnel and system are also reviewed and described in this study. The results clearly show that the friction coefficients derived from scaled model slippage tests are about 12% lower than values obtained from the friction tests. In addition, this study will be necessary to verify the real friction behaviour with prototype tests before applying in practice.

현재 도시화로 인한 유출량의 증가 및 도달시간의 단축은 도시 재해의 한 원인이 되고 있으며 그에 따라 수공구조물에 대한 적정 설계가 필요하다. 하지만 계획단계에서부터 설계에 필요한 값을 예측하기는 매우 어려운 실정이다. 더구나 개발로 인해 매개변수가 변화함에 따라 유출 영향 분석이 어려울 뿐 아니라 이에 따른 연구가 미흡한 실정이기 때문에 모형매개변수의 민감도 분석을 통해 유출영향 분석 및 수공구조물 적정설계의 중요 기반자료로 활용하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 민감도 분석방법 중 절대 및 상대 민감도 분석 방법을 사용하여 각 유역의 지형학적 수문학적 매개변수들의 민감도 분석을 통해 상관관계를 확인하였다. 특히 대표적인 매개변수로서 유출계수 CN의 변화에 따른 유출량 및 유출 용적의 관계를 통해 CN의 증감에 따른 유출량 및 유출용적의 변화량을 산정하고, 또한 각 매개변수들간의 회귀분석을 통해 경험식을 작성, 제안하였다. 한편 현재 국내에서 사용중인 HEC-HMS를 모의하여 매개변수의 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 CN값이 개발 전후 5% 증가시 유출량은 약 10%정도 증가한다는 것을 HEC-HMS모의와 자료의 분석을 통해 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과에 대해 검 보정 및 추가적인 자료수집을 통한 분석이 이루어지고, 매개변수 민감도 분석을 통한 국내 실정에 맞는 매개변수도출을 위한 연구가 계속적으로 수행된다면 미계측 유역에 대한 수공구조물의 적정설계에 상당부분 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

One of the most recent base-isolation systems to improve the earthquake resistance of structures is the Friction Pendulum System(FPS). Simple in design but with versatile properties, the FPS has been used in some of the world s largest seismically isolated buildings, bridges and chemical tanks. FPS using PTFE(Polytetrafl-uoroethylene) based material has been developed to provide a simple and effective way for structures to achieve earthquake resistance. PTFE materials are soft, and are apt to become deformed easily after a few working cycles. In this study, magnetic force is used rather than the usual PTFE materials to improve the material shortcomings. A MF-FPS(Magnetic force-Friction Pendulum System) is proposed, and us shown to effectively protect structures against earthquakes. To demonstrate the advantages of this new system, the MF-FPS is compared with FPS as an attempt to prove its performance. A six-degree-of-freedom model is considered as a numerical example. The ground acceleration data of El Centro, Mexico and Gebze earthquakes are used as seismic excitations. The results showed that MF-FPS improved performance compared with FPS.

Generally, durability of concrete structures under marine environment is grossly declined by detrimental ions such as chlorides, which penetrate concrete and was diffused to corrode reinforcing rod. Therefore, chloride diffusion properties in concrete are important for durability evaluation and design of concrete structure. For estimation of chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete, both evaluation methods are used for steady state and non-steady state derived from Fick's 1st and 2nd law, respectively. However, as it is very difficult to evaluate diffusion coefficient for non-steady state like service environment where concrete is actually exposed, indirect evaluation method by laboratory accelerated test is generally used. In this study, comparison of chloride diffusion behavior was investigated for fixed mix proportion and age of concrete using four accelerated test methods based on domestic and foreign standards. From test results, only relative comparison between concrete mixtures was possible using ASTM C 1202 test, and diffusion coefficient for steady state was estimated as low as 1/10 of that for non-steady state. In addition, diffusion coefficient estimated by immersion test was similar to result by NT build 492 test.

Characteristic behaviors of geo-structure during freezing and thawing process have to be understood based on fundamental knowledge on phase change in porous soil and interaction between soil and structure. Inversion analysis using published one-dimensional soil freezing tests was conducted to suggest a mechanical model to consider an effect of the ice saturation on Young's modulus. Silty soil was more sensitive to temperature than weathered granite soil and sand, and weathered granite soil was more affected by initial water saturation in stiffness decrease than silty soil. Numerical simulations on chilled gas pipeline showed that shielding effect from surrounding frozen zone around the pipe decreases impact from external load onto the pipe. And a pipe installed in sand backfill showed more heaving due to relatively low stiffness of sand during freezing than that of surrounding in-situ weather granite soil. However, it had more stable stress condition due to effective stress redistribution from external load.

The initiation and growth processes of cyclic ice body in porous systems are affected by the thermo-physical and mass transport properties, as well as gradients of temperature and chemical potentials. Furthermore, the diffusivity of deicing chemicals shows significantly higher value under cyclic freeze-thaw conditions. Consequently, the disintegration of concrete structures is aggravated at marine environments, higher altitudes, and northern areas. However, the properties of cyclic freeze-thaw with crack growth and the deterioration by the accumulated damages are hard to identify in tests. In order to predict the accumulated damages by cyclic freeze-thaw, a regression analysis by the response surface method (RSM) is used. The important parameters for cyclic freeze-thawdeterioration of concrete structures, such as water to cement ratio, entrained air pores, and the number of cycles of freezing and thawing, are used to compose the limit state function. The regression equation fitted to the important deterioration criteria, such as accumulated plastic deformation, relative dynamic modulus, or equivalent plastic deformations, were used as the probabilistic evaluations of performance for the degraded structural resistance. The predicted results of relative dynamic modulus and residual strains after 300 cycles of freeze-thaw show very good agreements with the experimental results. The RSM result can be used to predict the probability of occurrence for designer specified critical values. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate the life cycle management of concrete structures considering the accumulated damages due to the cyclic freeze-thaw using the proposed prediction method.

The algorithm for calculating the base-collector breakdown voltage of NPN BJT for integrated circuits is proposed. The method of three-dimensional mesh generation to minimize the time required for device simulation is presented and the method for calculating the breakdown voltage using solutions of the Poisson´s equation is presented. To verify the proposed method, the breakdown voltage between base and collector of NPN BJT using 20V process and 30V process is compared with the measured data. The breakdown voltage from the proposed method of NPN BJT using 20V process shows an averaged relative error of 8.0% compared with the measured data and the breakdown voltage of NPN BJT using 30V process shows an averaged relative error of 4.3% compared with the measured data.

최근 지속가능한 개발을 위한 연구와 수자원 취약성에 대한 논의가 활발히 이루어지는 가운데, 북한의 수자원에 대한 관심 또한 증가하여 다방면으로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 북한 자료의 확보가 가능한 World Bank 자료를 바탕으로 Pressure-State-Response 구조에 따라 선정된 14개의 지표를 이용하여 168개 국가를 대상으로 수자원 취약성 분석을 수행하였다. 의사결정을 위한 가중치 결정은 객관적 가중치 산정방법인 Shannon의 entropy 기법을 이용하였으며, 정량적 평가를 위하여 TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) 기법을 적용하여 국가 별 수자원 취약성을 지수화하고 취약성 순위를 도출하였다. 각 지표별 Positive Ideal Solution과 Negative Ideal Solution의 거리를 산정한 후 상대근접도계수를 산정하였으며, 상대근접도계수가 작은 국가일수록 수자원이 취약한 국가가 된다. 연구결과 북한은 168개 국가 중 17위, 우리나라는 67위로 나타났으며, 대체적으로 남 북한의 수자원 취약성이 취약한 가운데 북한이 더 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 우리나라와 연관이 깊은 주요 국가와 비교 시, 북한, 중국, 미국, 일본, 우리나라 순으로 취약성의 정도가 심각했다. 또한, 압력, 상태, 반응의 요소별로 수자원 취약성을 분석한 결과 북한이 반응요소 측면에서 타 국가에 비해 불안정하였으며, 우리나라의 경우 상태요소 측면에서 취약함을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구는 국가 간 우리나라와 북한의 상황을 파악할 수 있게 해주며, 수자원 취약성 극복을 위한 수자원 계획 및 대책을 제시할 수 있는 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Dynamic responses of a multi-span simply supported bridge are investigated to examine the effect of bearing damage under seismic excitations. The damaged bearings are modeled as sliding elements with friction between the superstructure and the top of the pier. Various values of the friction coefficients are examined to figure out the effect of damaged bearings with various levels of peak ground accelerations. It is found that the global seismic behaviors are significantly influenced by the occurrence of bearing damage. It should be noticed that the most possible location of unseating failure of superstructures differs from that in the bridge model without considering the bearing damage. It can be concluded that the bearing damage may play the major role in the unseating failure of a bridge system, so that the damage of bearings should be included to achieve more rational seismic safety evaluation.

In this paper, we have studied a development of a humidity sensor using a microwave sensor based on a microstrip defected ground structure coated with polyvinyl alcohol. A high-sensitivity microwave sensor, which is sensitive to the changes in the permittivity of the material under test, is designed by adding an interdigital capacitor-shaped defected ground structure to the ground plane of a microstrip line. Polyvinyl alcohol, a polymer material whose permittivity varies depending on humidity, is coated with a thin thickness on the defected ground structure of the proposed microwave sensor, and the changes in the resonance frequency and magnitude of the transmission coefficient for the microwave sensor according to humidity are measured. When relative humidity increases from 40% to 80% in 10% increments at a temperature of 25 degrees using a temperature/humidity chamber, the resonant frequency of the transmission coefficient decreases from 1.475 GHz to 1.449 GHz, and the magnitude is increased from -32.90 dB to -25.67 dB.
