계단식 Gabion 낙차공은 다공체 구조물로서 시공하기 쉽고 안정적이며, 하천유수에 대하여 저항성이 있어 하천구조물로서 널리 자주 사용되고 있다. Gabion은 다공체로서 유수력을 쉽게 흡수함으로써 감세지 계단표면의 위치에너지를 소산시키는데 매우 효과적이다. Stephenson은 1/10 축적을 가진(투수성이 있고 하천낙차공에만 적용되는 투수성 상류면을 가진 높이 4m까지의) 계단식 Gabion을 월류 실험한 바가 있으며, 그 연구결과가 실무에서 인용되고 있다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 급변류의 에너지 소산효과를 조사하기 위하여 중력이 다른 힘들보다 지배적이므로 Froude 상사법칙을 이용하고 1/1, 1/2, 1/3 경사를 가진 계단을 적용하였다. 실험에서는 경사를 가진 높이 4m 계단식 위어와 게비온 감세지 실험, 계단모형실험(보통구조, 층상구조, 끝단이 올라간 구조, 턱을 가진 구조), 격리수맥흐름, 부분수맥흐름으로 제안하여 경사에 따른 급변류의 에너지 소산효과에 대한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 고속도로 대형 추돌사고의 원인이 되는 안개로 인한 시정거리 악화를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 염화칼슘 연소탄, 초미립자 살포기, 강풍기, 건조공기 등을 이용한 안개소산 시스템에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 국내 환경에 적합한 안개소산 시스템을 개발하기 위해 다양한 안개소산 방법에 대한 현장 성능실험을 통해 검증하였고 강풍기와 열풍기를 결합하여 생성한 건조공기를 통해 공기중의 상대습도를 떨어뜨려 안개를 소산하는 방식이 시정거리 개선효과가 우수하였으며 이를 통해 고속도로 및 터널의 출입구 등 안개 발생으로 운전자의 시정거리가 낮아져 발생하는 사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압 소산 특성을 파악하기 위하여 포화된 수평 모래지반에 대하여 1-g 진동대시험을 수행하였다. 진동대시험에는 주문진 표준사와 영종도 세사를 사용하였으며 상대밀도를 dir 20~30% 사이가 되도록 조성하였다. 간극수압계, 가속도계 그리고 LVDT 등으로 시험중의 지반거동을 계측하였으며, 4Hz의 sine 파를 0.15g에서 5초간 5회 반복하여 작용시켰다. 진동대시험을 분석한 결과 액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압의 소산속도는 그 지반의 투수성뿐 아니라 과잉간극수압 소산시 입자의 침강거리와 직접 관련이 있는 지반의 침하량에도 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 과정을 침강모래 이론으로 모델링하였을 때 입자의 침강속도와 투수계수 사이의 비례 관계는 침강모래 이론에서의 가정한 것과는 달리 모래의 종류에 따라 차이를 나타내었다. 또한 Terzaghi의 압밀이론으로는 액상화 후 과잉간극수압의 소산과정을 적절히 모사할 수 없었다.

절개지사면에 구조물이 설치될 경우 배수압소산과 식생복원을 위해서는 기본적으로 다공성이 뛰어나고 식생의 서식이 가능한 구조물로 설계되어야 하며, 동시에 사면의 안정을 제공해주는 기능을 할 수 있어야 한다. 구조물이 설치될 지역에 Mattress/Filter를 사용할 경우 배수압의 소산과 식생의 활착이 가능한 구조물로 사면의 안정과 식생복원효과를 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 절개지사면에 토목구조물이 설치될 경우 식생의 복원과 구조물의 안정성을 높이기 위한 기법으로 Mattress/Filter에 Slag를 채워서 다공성을 부여함으로써 사면의 배수압소산과 식생촉진 뿐만 아니라 사면의 안정성을 제공해줄 수 있는 구조이다. 특히, Mattress/Filter는 다공성이 뛰어나 자연배수가 가능한 구조물로서 그 구변 생태계에 필수적인 물의 상호교류 즉, 투수와 배수가 가능하고 배수압의 소산이 가능하여 식생복원과 사면안정에 우수한 것으로 나타났다. Mattress옹벽은 배면의 지하수 배제를 촉진시켜 사면의 안정화에 기여하게 되려, 식생의 복원에 뛰어난 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Mattress에서 Fitter의 채움 재료로 산업계기물(Slag) 및 건설폐기물(폐콘크리트, 사석) 등을 재활용할 수 있으므로 Mattress는 채움재료의 비용이 저렴하고 유지관리가 용이하며, 생태계의 보존에도 Mattress/Filter의 사용은 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

The cyclic behavior and energy dissipation mechanism of short coupling beams with various reinforcement layouts were studied. For numerical analysis of coupling beams, nonlinear truss model was used. The results of numerical analysis showed that the coupling beams with conventional reinforcement layout showed pinched cyclic behavior without significant energy dissipation, whereas the coupling beams with diagonal reinforcement exhibited stable cyclic behavior without pinching. The energy dissipation of the coupling beams was developed mainly by diagonal reinforcing bars developing large plastic strains rather than concrete which is a brittle material Based on this result, simplified equations for evaluating the energy dissipation of coupling beams were developed. For verification, the predicted energy dissipation was compared with the test results. The results showed that the simplified equations can predict the energy dissipation of short coupling beams with shear span-to-depth ratio less than 1.25 with reasonable precision, addressing various design parameters such as reinforcement layout, shear span-to-depth ratio, and the magnitude of inelastic displacement. The proposed energy equations can be easily applied to performance-based seismic evaluation and design of reinforced concrete structures and members.

As advanced earthquake design methods using nonlinear static analysis are developed, it is required to estimate precisely the cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete members that is characterized by strength, deformability, and energy dissipation. In a recent study, a simplified method which can estimate accurately the energy dissipation capacity of flexure-dominated RC members subjected to repeated cyclic load was developed. Based on the previously developed method, in the present study, simple equations that can be used for calculating the energy dissipation capacity were derived and verified by the comparison with experimental results. Through parametric study using the proposed equations, effects of axial load, reinforcement ratio, rebar arrangement, md ductility on the dissipated energy were investigated. The proposed equations can accurately estimate the energy dissipation capacity compared with the existing empirical equations, and therefore they will be useful for the nonlinear static analysis/design methods.

In this study, the variation in excess pore pressure during dissipation is estimated by using successive cavity expansion theory and finite difference technique based on axisymmetric uncoupled linear consolidation theory with separate consideration of magnitude and initial distribution $\Delta{u}_{oct}$induced by changes of octahedral normal stress, and $\Delta{u}_{shear}$ induced by changes of octahedral shear stress. The coefficient of consolidation is also estimated by trial and error procedure until the predicted dissipation curve matches the measured curve at a typical degree of dissipation. The proposed method is applied to the results of miniature piezocone tests at Louisiana State University calibration chamber system. Based on the results of interpretation and the comparison with experimental measurements and those from other solutions, the prediction dissipation curves show a good match with those measured during dissipation tests and the values of coefficient of consolidation estimated by proposed method are more close to the range of laboratory measurements than those of other theories.

Recently, performance-based analysis/design methods such as the capacity spectrum method and the direct displacement-based design method were developed. In these methods, estimation of energy dissipation capacity of RC structures depends on empirical equations which are not sufficiently accurate, On the other hand, in a recent study, a simplified method for evaluating energy dissipation capacity was developed. In the present study, based on the evaluation method, a new seismic design method for flexure-dominated RC walls was developed. In determination of earthquake load, the proposed design method can address variations of energy dissipation capacity with design parameters such as dimensions and shapes of cross-sections, axial force, and reinforcement ratio and arrangement, The proposed design method was compared with the current performance-based design methods. The applicability of the proposed method was discussed.

This paper presents a seismic fragility analysis method for a cable-stayed bridge with energy dissipation devices. Model uncertainties represented by random variables include input ground motions, characteristics of energy dissipation devices and the stiffness of cable-stayed bridge. Using linear regression, we established demand models for the fragility analysis from the relationship between maximum responses and the intensity of input ground motions. For capacity models, we considered the moment and shear force of the main tower, longitudinal displacement of the girder, deviation of the stay cables tension and the local buckling of the main steel tower as the limit states for cable-stayed bridge. As a numerical example, fragility analysis results for the 2nd Jindo bridge are presented. The effect of energy dissipation devices is also briefly discussed.

This research develops a technique which uses energy dissipation ratio in order to monitor the structural health on real time basis. For real-time monitoring, we employ the NExT and the ERA which enable us to obtain real-time data. Energy dissipation ratio is calculated from those data only with the damping and natural frequency of the structure, and from the calculated values we develop an algorithm (Energy dissipation method) which decides the damage degree of structure. The Energy dissipation method developed in this research is proved to be valid by comparison with other methods like the eigenparameter method and the MAC. Especially this method enables us to save measuring time and data which are the most important in real-time monitoring, and its use of the ambient vibration also makes it easy to monitor the whole structure and its damage points.
