In load and resistance factor design (LRFD) method, resistance factors are typically calibrated using resistance bias factors obtained from either only the data within ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ or the data except the tail values of an assumed probability distribution to increase the reliability of the database. However, the data selection approach has a shortcoming that any low-quality data inadvertently included in the database may not be removed. In this study, a data quality evaluation method, developed based on the quality of static load test results, the engineering characteristics of in-situ soil, and the dimension of aggregate piers, is proposed for use in constructing database. For the evaluation of the method, a total 65 static load test results collected from various literatures, including static load test reports, were analyzed. Depending on the quality of the database, the comparison between bias factors, coefficients of variation, and resistance factors showed that uncertainty in estimating bias factors can be reduced by using the proposed data quality evaluation method when constructing database.

An importance of infrastructures' protection against crash or blast loading has been an emerging issue as structures are becoming much bigger and population densities in downtown are growing up. However, there exists no such a standard to evaluate the protection performance of construction material itself. Prior to building standards for protection assessment techniques, this study performed gas-gun propelled projectile impact tests with series of contact-type monitoring systems to investigate the applicability of each sensing type. Through the impact tests, failure modes and protection performances of both normal concrete and UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete) reinforced by steel fibers were also evaluated. The results showed that LVDT could be applicable for the impact test among contact-type sensors and UHPC with fibers had a remarkable potential to improve protection against impact loading.

As the scale of explosions diversifies along with the expansion of gas handling and storage facilities, studies on explosion-proof facilities in preparation for accidents is being actively conducted. The gastight door blocks the expansion pressure caused by blast waves or internal fires, and at the same time protects the personnel and equipment inside. For gastight doors, the regulations related to explosion-proof design are not clearly presented, and studies on the explosion pressure resistance performance evaluation of the facility are insufficient. In this study, the gastight door was modeled in a 3D shape with reference to the regulation ASTM regarding the gastight door standard. Afterwards, evaluation for blast-resistant performance of gastight door using Numerical simulation was evaluated by using ANSYS Explicit Dynamics to compare the deformation.

Underground transmission lines always generate heat and transmit heat through surrounding backfill materials. Therefore, in the design of power lines it becomes a very crucial factor to transfer heat effectively into the neighbouring soils. In this study, in order to enhance field applicability of recycled aggregates for backfill material of transmission lines, quality criteria and construction criteria were proposed, and thermal stability of power lines through field demonstration tests were analyzed. In the field tests, two types of recycled aggregates and sand which is currently used for backfilling were compared in terms of thermal behaviour. Test results showed that recycled aggregates represented similar trends with sand in temperature and moisture content corresponding to time lapse and distance from the heat source. Consequently, recycled aggregates can be utilized for backfill materials of underground transmission lines as a substitute material of sands.

In this paper, the structural design for composite blade was performed and full scale structural test was conducted to verify the structural design and integrity of composite blade. Firstly, FE analysis was performed using commercial software ABAQUS under conditions of rated wind speed and Case H in IEC 61400-2. Lay-up sequence and ply thickness were designed based on FE results. And to verify the structural design, full scale structural test was conducted according to IEC 61400-2 under identical loading conditions of FE analysis. Finally, the force-deflection and local strain behavior of composite blade were evaluated.

In this study, a newly modified soil nailing technology named as the PGSN (Pressurized Grouting Soil Nailing) system is proposed. Effects of various factors related to the design of the pressurized grouting soil nailing system, such as the length of re-bars and type of reinforcement materials, were examined throughout a series of the displacement-controlled field pull-out tests. 9 displacement-controlled field pull-out tests were performed and the ratio of injected grout volume to grout hole volume were also evaluated based on the measurements. In addition, short-term characteristics of pull-out deformations of the newly proposed PGSN system were analyzed and compared with those of the ordinary soil nailing system by carrying out field pull-out tests. The test results were shown that the displacements of pressurized grouting soil nailing system were decreased 30~36% in comparison with using gravity grouting soil nailing system by the pressurized effect. The displacements of steel tube were diminished 31~32% comparison with using deformed bar by the reinforcement type change from the field pull-out tests.

Anti-freezing layer does not used in case of non frost heaving in subgrade soils. In this case, the modulus of subgrade soils were varied with freezing and thaw cycles under non frost heaving. That effect should be properly considered in pavement design. Impact resonance test that is nondestructive testing method was used for continuously determining the modulus of subgrade soils during freezing and thaw cycle. The modulus of subgrade soils was identical with freezing and thaw cycles under closed freezing and thaw system which is no water supplement into specimen during testing. There was also no difference in the modulus of subgrade soil between before and after freezing-thaw cycles for all specimens with different water content and density. That is thaw-weakening of subgrade soils do not occur under closed freezing and thaw system. The moduli at freezing conditions are varied with water content and density, but it can be ignored in practical design sense.

기존의 천연가스 가스터빈 시스템을 IGCC 발전소에 적용함에 있어 야기되는 탈설계점효과를 고려할 수 있는 압축기 성능곡선의 예측방법을 제안하였다. 압축기 성능해석방법으로는 익렬요소방법에 전압력손실, 유동편차각 모델들을 결합하여 사용하였으며, 본 방법에 의한 예측결과와 실제 압축기 성능실험결과를 비교하였다. 예측결과가 다양한 압축기 운전조건에 대해 시험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였으며, 이를 통해 본 예측방법이 IGCC 공정설계 및 성능평가시 가스터빈 탈설계점 효과를 분석할 수 있는 기본 모듈로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
