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.

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.

Small-scale models have been frequently used for seismic performance tests because of limited testing facilities and economic reasons. However, there are not enough studies on similitude law for analogizing prototype structures accurately with small-scale models, although conventional similitude law based on geometry is not well consistent in the inelastic seismic behavior. When fabricating prototype and small-scale model of reinforced concrete structures by using the same material, added mass is demanded from a volumetric change and scale factor could be limited due to aggregate size. Therefore, it is desirable that different material is used for small-scale models. Thus, a modified similitude law could be derived depending on geometric scale factor, equivalent modulus ratio and ultimate strain ratio. In this study, compressive strength tests are conducted to analyze the equivalent modulus ratio of micro-concrete to normal-concrete. Then, equivalent modulus ratios are divided into multi-phase damage levels, which are basically dependent on ultimate strain level. Therefore, an algorithm adaptable to the pseudodynamic test, considering equivalent multi-phase similitude law based on seismic damage levels, is developed. Test specimens, consisted of prototype structures and 1/5 scaled models as a reinforced concrete column, were designed and fabricated based on the equivalent modulus ratios already defined. Finally quasistatic and pseudodynamic tests on the specimens are carried out using constant and variable modulus ratios, and correlation between prototype and small-scale model is investigated based on their test results. It is confirmed that the equivalent multi-phase similitude law proposed in this study could be suitable for seismic performance tests on small-scale models.

As many of armored vehicles are seriously exposed to threat of IEDs(Improvised Explosive Devices) in the Afghanistan war and the Iraq war. V-shaped military vehicles are deeply studied in order to protect crews and mounted soldiers against land mines. Generally the experiment on full-scaled V-shaped structure needs excessively high cost, which becomes a huge barrier to study. In this paper, we explore the possibility to make a half-scaled model of the V-shaped structure by using the geometric similarity scaling. We demonstrate the geometric similarity scaling between the original model and the half-scaled model is established on the momentum and deflections of structure via computer simulations and experiments. At this stage, we conduct only numerical analysis of predicting vibration of V-shaped structure because measuring vibration of structure is difficult in the mass-explosion experiment, which is remained as future work.

It is well known that the behavior of R /C members under static cyclic loading is somewhat different from that under dynamic cyclic loading, such as earthquake loading, because static loading rate is substantially lower than that corresponding to the Frequencies of seismic excitation. The purpose of this research is to estabilish the reliance for modeling techniques of small-scale specirr~ens subjected to dynamic cyclic loading. This research focused on the similitude requirements for reinforced concrete frame structures subjeced to dynamic cyclic loading. Length scale ratio of specimens were 1 : 2 : 4, and eleven specimens were tested at the frequencies of 0.0025Hz-2.OHz. It was confirmed that rnode1ir.g techniques based on the similitude requirements were useful methods to evaluate the behavior of full-size R /C structures subjected to earthquake type loading.

A series of shaking table model tests were performed to verify the validity of similitude law, which is suggested by lai (1989) to simulate the dynamic behavior of soil-fluid-structure system for is shaking table tests. In the tests, the similitude law suggested by lai was applied to determine the length and the time scaling factors. Also, the steady state concept was used in determining the density of model backfill soil, which is a key factor in simulating the development of excess pore pressure during shaking. The similitude law was verified by checking whether three different sizes of quay walls show the identical behavior or not. The similar responses of acceleration, excess pore pressure and horizontal displacement of walls were obtained far the small and large models. However, the medium model showed larger responses than those of the small and large models because of the resonance between the frequency of input acceleration and the natural frequency of the wall system. In addition, the vertical displacement and rotational angle of the walls became larger with the increase of model size.

This paper discusses a series of experiments including material improvement in order to ensure quality of grouting for the post-tensioned structure. In prestressed concrete, grouting refers to the construction procedure of filling empty space of duct enclosing with strands using cementitious material, To date, adequate quality control of the grouting has not been established in Korea because the relationship between the grouting and durability of post-tensioned structure is not well-recognized. The Korean standard does not consider the important material characteristic, wick effect, which is caused by strands in the ducts and current standard testing method unlikely quantify reasonable material segregation. As a result, the grout material, which meets the current material standards, may exhibit excessive bleeding water or shrinkage during construction. In this study, international codes and standards related to grouting were surveyed. The ratio of constituents and novel admixtures were suggested to meet equivalently with these standards. Performance of this enhanced grout was compared to common domestic grout using the international standard testing method. A series of mock-up specimens considering geometry of PC beam was constructed and grout flow pattern was observed as the grout was injected. It was observed that the grouting performance was highly influenced by material properties and filling characteristic can be varied depending on geometry of ducts.
