Electrical resistivity is one of physical property of the earth and measured by electrical resistivity survey, electrical resistivity logging and laboratory test. Recently, electrical resistivity is widely used in determination of rock quality in support pattern design of road and railway tunnel construction sites. To get more reliable rock quality data from electrical resistivity, it needs a lot of test and study on correlation of resistivity and rock quality. Firstly, we did rock property test in laboratory, such as P wave velocity, Young's modulus, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and electrical resistivity. We correlate each test results and we found out that electrical resistivity has highly related to P wave velocity, Young's modulus and UCS. Next, we accomplished electrical resistivity survey in field site and carried out electrical resistivity logging at in-situ area. We also performed rock classification, such as RQD, RMR and Q-system and we correlate electrical resistivity to RMR data. We found out that electrical resistivity logging data are highly correlate to RMR. Also we found out that electrical resistivity survey data are lower than electrical resistivity logging data when there are faults or fractures. And it cause electrical resistivity survey data to lowly correlate to RMR.

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.

밭작물 중 양파와 마늘은 높은 노동투하시간, 노임의 상승, 복잡한 수거 과정 등으로 최근 재배면적이 감소하는 추세이다. 밭농업 활성화 방안으로 생산비 절감과 작업 속도 향상을 위한 수확기계 개발 연구로 줄기절단기가 개발되었다. 이 연구는 줄기절단기 예취날의 설치각이 절단부하에 미치는 영향을 분립체 해석 기법으로 분석하고자 하였다. 실험에 사용한 시뮬레이션은 EDEM으로 인장탄성계수, 전단탄성 계수, 중첩길이, 입자 반경 및 질량, 상대속도를 이용하여 충돌시 힘을 해석하고 인장 및 전단강도, 한계, 결합 길이를 통해 입자간 결합을 설정할 수 있다. 시제품으로 설계된 줄기절단기의 치수를 활용하여 프로그램 상에서 줄기 절단 시뮬레이션을 진행하여 절단부하 결과를 얻도록 하였고 칼날 설치각을 30도, 45도, 60도로 변경하여 각각의 부하를 분석하여 경향성을 파악하고자 하였다. 실험에서 사용한 프로그램은 EDEM 2.7.1 Academic Research 버전이며 시뮬레이션을 진행한 PC의 사양은 Intel(R) $Core^{TM}$ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz, Memory 16.0GB이다. 줄기 절단 시뮬레이션에 적용시킨 줄기 모델은 마늘의 조건을 적용시켜 직경 1mm의 입자로 이루어진 지름 12mm, 높이 214mm의 원통형 모델이며 60.32N의 최대절단력을 가지고 있다. 줄기절단기는 2개의 회전날을 가지고 있으나 좌우대칭을 적용하여 절반에 대한 해석으로 하나의 회전날로 절단을 하도록 줄기 모델은 4조로 하여 3열을 140mm 간격으로 위치시켰다. 줄기절단기의 칼날은 반경 350mm로 회전하며 진행속도는 1.65m/s, 회전속도는 1680rpm으로 작업하도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션은 0.5초의 시간에 대해 해석하도록 하였으며 0.003초 간격으로 칼날에 가해지는 힘을 구하여 저장하도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션 해석시간은 약 116시간이었으며 설치각별 시간에 따른 칼날에 가해지는 압축력 값과 그래프를 얻을 수 있었다. 대부분의 시간에서 절단이 이루어지지 않으므로 0의 값을 나타내었으며 절단이 이루어지는 시점에 절단부하가 나타났다. 결과 해석을 위해 그래프의 피크 값들을 이용하였으며 그 중 상위 6개의 값으로 분석하였다. 30도, 45도, 60도의 설치각에 따른 절단부하의 평균 값은 각각 105.4N, 160.5N, 215.9N으로 나타났다. 설치각에 따른 절단부하의 경향성은 유의수준은 3.93%로 각각의 차이가 유의미하게 나타났으며 상관계수는 0.489로 증가하는 경향이 보였다. 그러나 $R^2$는 0.2394로 낮은 값을 보여 데이터 처리 방법의 개선과 적절한 회귀 모델의 적용이 필요하다. 향후 포장시험을 진행하고 복합적으로 분석하여 경향성을 자세히 분석하고자 한다.

Tensile constitutive stress-strain model of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) in fib MC2010 was investigated. In order to model tensile behavior of SFRC, three point loading flexural tests were conducted on notched small beams according to BE-EN-14651. Design parameters for the constitutive model were determined from the flexural tests. Flexural test and finite element analysis were conducted on large SFRC beam without steel reinforcements and compared with each other. In addition, parametric study on the effect of compressive and tensile model, and characteristic length on flexural behavior of the SFRC beam was conducted also. In results, pre-peak load-displacement curves from the FE analysis was close to experimental curves but significant difference was shown in post-peak behavior. The reason of the difference is originated from the fact that the fiber distribution and orientation were not being properly considered in the MC2010 model. This study shows that modification and detail explanations on the orientation factor K in MC2010 might require to better reproduce the behaviour of large scale SFRC beams.

I-type girders are widely applied as very economical sections in plate girder bridges. There has been research on developing composite laminated panels, curved plates reinforced with closed-end ribs, and new forms of ribs and compression flanges for steel box girders. However, there is a limitation in analyzing the exact cause of local buckling caused by an I-type girder's webs. Therefore, an I-type girder's web was modeled using the finite element analysis program LUSAS 17.0 before and after reinforcement. We checked for the minimum thickness criteria presented in the Korea highway bridge design code, and the cause of buckling after performing a linear elastic buckling analysis of dead and live loads was analyzed. Before reinforcement, an eigenvalue (λ₁) at the 1st mode was 0.7025, the critical buckling load was smaller than the applied load, and there is a buckling. After reinforcement, when applying vertical and horizontal stiffeners to the web part of the girder at support, a Nodal line was formed, the eigenvalue was 1.5272, and buckling stability was secured. To improve buckling trace of the girder at the support, an additional plate was applied to the web at the support to ensure visual and structural safety, but buckling occurs at center of web. The eigenvalue (λ₁) was 3.5299, and this method is efficient for reinforcing the web of the support.

Internally Confined Hollow RC(ICH RC) column consisted of concrete, transverse reinforcement, longitudinal reinforcement, and inner tube. It had good strength and ductility by core concrete was become triaxial confining state with transverse reinforcement and inner tube. There were two confining stress as external confining stress and internal confining stress in an ICH RC column. While external confining stress was researched by former researchers, internal confining stress has not researched. In this paper, confining stress of both Hollow RC column and ICH RC column was investigated using FEA program. Relation between theoretical confining stress and internal confining stress was drawn by analysis results. Modified failure condition equations of inner tube were suggested to base on failure condition equations of inner tube by former researcher. When thickness of inner tube was calculated by modified equations, it could be economic because thickness of inner tube was reduced 50% compared with former researcher equations in order to same confining stress.

Frangible bullets, which are shredded after impact on a target, reduce the possibility of both ricochet and unexpected injury in shooting training and in mission acts in dams, nuclear power plants, and cultural properties. Reducing the levels of hazardous materials in shooting ranges, such as lead, has become an important agenda for the government and environmental groups. In this study, the shape of a frangible bullet was designed for efficient shredding, and the safety and reliability were confirmed by actual firing under different process conditions. In addition, the physical characteristics, such as compaction pressure, density, and frangibility of each process, were compared by analyzing the microstructure of the sintered frangible bullet. The experiment revealed the smallest fragmentation after impact on the target under the following conditions: Cu-Sn 85:15; sintering temperature, 600℃; sintering time, one hour. Further development of the process conditions and experimental methods will contribute to the performance and environmental improvement of a frangible bullet.

Urban conditions, such as existing underground facilities and ambient noise due to cultural activity, restrict the general application of conventional geophysical techniques. At a tunnelling site in an urban area along an existing railroad, we used the refraction microtremor (REMI) technique (Louie, 2001) as an alternative way to get geotechnical information. The REMI method uses ambient noise recorded by standard refraction equipment and a linear geophone array to derive a shear-wave velocity profile. In the inversion procedure, the Rayleigh wave dispersion curve is picked from a wavefield transformation, and iteratively modelled to get the S-wave velocity structure. The REMI survey was carried out along the line of the planned railway tunnel. At this site vibrations from trains and cars provided strong seismic sources that allowed REMI to be very effective. The objective of the survey was to evaluate the rock mass rating (RMR), using shear-wave velocity information from REMI. First, the relation between uniaxial compressive strength, which is a component of the RMR, and shear-wave velocity from laboratory tests was studied to learn whether shear-wave velocity and RMR are closely related. Then Suspension PS (SPS) logging was performed in selected boreholes along the profile, in order to draw out the quantitative relation between the shear-wave velocity from SPS logging and the RMR determined from inspection of core from the same boreholes. In these tests, shear-wave velocity showed fairly good correlation with RMR. A good relation between shear-wave velocity from REMI and RMR could be obtained, so it is possible to estimate the RMR of the entire profile for use in design of the underground tunnel.

Fissured rock and soft ground always suggest, problems in the construction of the underground space. The stress release of the weak underground material by opening the underground space with a soft ground, fissures and joints can lead to the failure of the opening. Grouting of the weak rock and the soft ground, which is a process of injecting some bonding agents into the soft ground, is one of the measures to reinforce the soft ground and to prohibit the failure of the underground construction due to the stress release. The proper installation of the grouting is essential to ensuring the safety of the tunneling operation, so that the evaluation of the grouting performance is very significant. The general procedure of evaluating the grouting is coring the grouted section and measuring the compression strength of the core. However, sometimes when the grouted section is at the crown of the tunnel and the grouting is installed at a wide section, the coring is not good enough. This study is oriented to propose a new and a non-destructive procedure of evaluating the grouting performance. The proposed method is based on the wave propagation of elastic waves, and evaluates the shear stiffness of the ground and investigates the anomalies such as voids and cracks. The SASW ( Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves) method is one of the candidate s to make the inspection of the pouting performance, and is adopted in this study. The practical grouting activity was monitored by SASW method, and the proposed method was applied to the inspection of the grouting performance to check the verification of the proposed method.

Bearing capacity of a drilled shaft can be separated into side resistance and base resistance. But in domestic design procedure side resistance is usually underestimated compared with base resistance. Results of bi-directional test showed that measured side resistances in each different layers are larger than those evaluated from several suggested methods. In this study, measured side resistances in each different layer of drilled shafts installed in domestic sites are analyzed and compared with evaluated side resistances from the method using revised SPT N value. For weathered rock and soft rock layer, from which rock core can hardly be obtained, we suggested new evaluated methods using revised SPT N value instead of the method using uniaxial compressive strength of rock. Resuts showed that the ranges of side resistance of cohesive and non-cohesive layer are $f_s{\leq}5tf/m^2$ and $f_s{\leq}15tf/m^2$ respectively. Range of side resistance in weathered rock is $15tf/m^2$ < $f_s{\leq}50tf/m^2$ and that in soft rock $f_s{\geq}35tf/m^2$.
