본연구는 실물크기의 프리캐스트 콘크리트 판구조물의 부분구조체를 모형화하여 실험한 결과를 분석한 것이다. 구조물의 역학적 특성과 파괴성상을 파악하기 위한 구조실험은 실물크기의 구조물과 부재로써 실시하는 것이 가장 좋은 방법이지만, 이것은 치수가 크므로 공간적으로 제한을 받고 많은 시간과 비용을 필요로 하기 때문에 모형실험을 이용하게 된다. 이러한 모형실험을 최소한의 오차범위내에서 원형실험과 같은 재현하고 예측하도록 실험을 준비하는 데에는 상사법칙이 필요하게 된다. 모형은 무엇보다도 원형과의 응력-변형도 관계 등 구성재료에 대한 상사요구조건을 만족시키는 것이 중요하지만, 본 연구의 대상은 1/3축척으로써 기하학적인 요소와 사용재료에 대한 강도의 상사성만을 고려한 모형이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 모형구조물의 거동을 원형실험결과와 비교하여 상사성 확보의 문제와 가능성을 조사하였다.

지진하중에 대한 구조물의 동적 거동과 성능을 예측 평가하기 위하여 실험적 방법들이 흔히 사용되고 있으나, 실험장비의 제약과 구조물의 규모 등으로 대부분 축소모형실험에 의존하고 있다. 그러나 일반적인 상사법칙(similitude law)은 탄성범위에서 유도된 것으로 지진거동과 같은 비탄성 거동을 예측하는 경우에는 한계가 있다. 또한 탄성범위 내에서도 크기효과(size offset)가 발생하므로 축소모형의 실험결과를 원형 구조물에 직접 적용하는 것은 많은주의가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 원형 구조물(prototype)과 축소모형(scaled model)을 모두 실험 대상으로 하여 실제 축소모형만을 실험하여 원형 구조물의 거동을 예측하는 경우의 문제점을 확인하고 그 해결방법을 모색하고자 한다. 실제로 축소모형실험에서는 원형 구조물의 경계조건을 정확히 재현하기 어려우며, 실험모형의 제작과정과 실험과정에서의 모든오차가강성의 변화로 반영되어 나타난다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기하학적 상사율과 변화된 강성비(stiffness ratio)를 함께 고려하여 고유진동수의 오차를 보정하고 비탄성 거동중에도 직접적인 실험결과의 비교가 가능한 상사법칙을 제안하였다. 더불어 제안된 상사법칙을 적용한 유사동적실험 (pseudodynamic test)을 수행하여 실험오차보정(experimental error compensation)효과를 검증하였다.

In this study, a similarity rule is thoroughly discussed for tunnelling model tests which can simulate actual ground conditions. Based on this prior consideration, theoretical works are performed to simulate a real ground condition into a gravitational field with a similarity. A process is arranged to determine a lining condition in laboratory tests for a sandy ground tunnel.

When doing a blasting demolition on RC structures made of scale models, scale model members considering both a proper scale factor and mechanical characteristics of materials have to be similar to prototype RC members to analyze the collapse behavior of RC structures. In this study. a similitude law considering the density of prototype materials is calculated. Both mix of concrete and arrangement of reinforcement have been described referring to Concrete Standard Specification as well as Design Standard of Concrete Structure. The scale factor on scaled concrete models considering maximum size of coarse aggregate is about one-fifth of a cross section of prototype concrete members. A scale factor on staled steel bar models is about one-fifth of a nominal diameter of prototype steel bar. According to the mechanical test results of scale models, it can be concluded that the modified similitude law may be similar to compressive strength of prototype concrete and yield strength of prototype steel bar.

In this paper, a geometric similarity law is introduced to the performance test of a large-sized silencer used in ship engine or plant system. A test of scale-down model enable to yield the cost and time saving in developing large-sized silencer considerably. Two types of silencer, resonator and expansion chamber, were analyzed by a theoretical method and an acoustical FEM(finite element method) in order to obtain geometric similarity variables. A method is proposed to estimate the transmission loss of prototype model using the test results of scale-down model. Two actual large-sized silencer, which consist of resonator and expansion chamber, were analysed by an acoustical FE analysis. Consequently, the proposed method predicts effectively the performance of prototype silencers using those of scale-down models.

우수 관거 시스템에서 맨홀의 설치 시 연결관 내부와 맨홀의 내부는 여러 가지 수리학적 조건이 다르므로 수두손실의 발생이 필연적일 수밖에 없다. 현재 계획 또는 설계단계에서 수행되고 있는 관거 시설의 수리계산에는 연결관 내에서의 마찰손실만을 고려하여 설계를 수행하고 있으며, 맨홀에서의 수두 손실은 거의 대부분 고려되지 않고 있다. 단지 맨홀에서의 수두손실을 저감하기 위하여 하수도시설기준(환경부, 2005)상의 단차 및 인버트 규정만 있을 뿐, 우수 관거 설계에 직접적으로 필요한 적절한 맨홀의 손실계수가 제시되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 국외에서는 축소 수리 모형을 이용한 실험과 수치해석 기법 등을 이용하여 맨홀에서의 손실계수를 산정하는 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어 왔으나 국내에서는 맨홀의 손실계수 산정에 관한 연구가 미흡한 실정이며, 더욱이 맨홀에서의 손실계수 산정을 위한 상사성 적용에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 맨홀의 축척 변화에 따른 손실계수의 변화를 분석하기 위하여 하수도시설기준(환경부, 2005)의 특 1호(사각형) 맨홀을 각각 1/2과 1/5로 축소 제작하고, 수리실험 장치를 제작하였다. Froude 상사 법칙을 적용하여 1/2의 축소 모형의 실험 조건을 1/5 축소 모형의 값으로 환산하였으며, 각 축소 모형에 대한 수리 실험을 실시하였다. 과부하된 맨홀의 손실계수를 예측하는데 Froude 상사법칙의 사용 가능성을 확인 하였으며, 1/2 축소 모형과 1/5 축소 모형에서 산정된 손실계수 값이 0.45로 일치하고 있으므로 우수 관거 시스템의 맨홀 설계 시, 축소 수리 모형실험에서 산정된 손실계수의 직접적인 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

Parameters of the Nash model were analyzed using similarity concepts for the hydrogeomorphologic and the time response characteristics, then the application of parameter estimation was performed for a basin where no data are available. The self-similarity was investigated to evaluate the similarity of hydrogeomorphologic characteristics and to derive a equation for the time of concentration. The relation between model parameters and time characteristics such as travel and lag time, were developed to obtain their properties of similarity. There were remarkable results about the assessment for basin similarity and the application to an ungaged basin in Wi stream basin.

Although there are several experimental techniques to evaluate the seismic behavior and performance of civil structures, small-scale models in mast of physical tests, instead of prototypes or large-scale models, would be used due to a limitation on capacities of testing equipments. However, the inelastic seismic response prediction of small-scale models has some discrepancies inherently because the similitude law is generally derived in the elastic range. Thus, a special attention is required to regard the seismic behavior of small-scale models as one of prototypes. In this paper, differences between prototypes and small-scale models pseudodynamically tested on steel column specimens are investigated and an alternative to minimize them is suggested. In general, small-scale models could have the distorted stiffness induced from some experimental errors on test setup, steel fabrication and so on. Therefore, a modified similitude law considering both a scale factor for length and a stiffness ratio of small-scale model to prototype is proposed. Using the modified similitude law to compensate experimental errors, the pseudodynamic test results from modified small-scale model are much improved as compared with the results of prototype. According to the pseudodynamic test results of small-scale steel models, it can be concluded that the modified similitude law proposed could be effective in simulating the seismic response of prototype structures.

The Clark unit hydrograph is a three parameter synthetic unit hydrograph procedure that can be used in flood hydrology. The present work is an attempt to estimate parameters of the Clark model in ungaged basin by means of relationships that provides for the hydrologic similarity. The time area concentration curve was determined by analytic method and the Clark model was generalized by being made dimensionless form. Calculation of the concentration time was made with the formula fractal concept used, and the storage coefficient was estimated by the empirical and regional equation. Evaluation on Dongok basin was performed to prove the validity of the proposed model. The derived hydrograph predicted the observed hydrograph fairly well.

The earthquakes are the natural disasters that can cause the most serious damage to civil structures. Therefore, various studies are being conducted to secure the safety of structures against earthquakes. Most studies on the safety or mechanism of civil structures during earthquakes are being conducted based on lab scale test, because real structure tests are impossible when considering the scale of civil structures. The scaling factor proposed by Iai is mainly cited, but when applying the scaling factor proposed by Iai, there are many difficulties in selecting the structural members necessary for the production of the lab scale model. This is because when applying the scaling factor proposed by Iai, the scaling factor must be applied to the elastic modulus, which is the material property of the structure. Therefore, a new method based on Iai's 's similarity law for determining scale factor is applied in this study where the material property of real structure is same as that of lab-scale model. Through the results of this study, it is considered that the characteristics of the structure calculated through the lab scale model test can more accurately reflect the characteristics of the real structure.
