In performing seismic analysis of tunnels, it is a common practice to ignore the rock joints and to assume that the rock mass surrounding the tunnel is continuous. The applicability of this assumption has not yet been validated in detail. This study performs a series of pseudo-static discrete element analyses to evaluate the effect of rock joint on the seismic response of tunnels. The parameters considered are joint intersection location, joint spacing, joint stiffness, joint dip, and interface stiffness. The results show that the joint stiffness has the most critical influence on the tunnel response. The tunnel response increases with the spacing, resulting in localized concentration of moment and shear stress. The response of the tunnel is the lowest for joints dipping at $45^{\circ}$. This is because large shear stresses result in rotation of the principal planes by $45^{\circ}$. In summary, the weathered and smooth, vertical or horizontal, and widely spaced joint set will significantly increase the tunnel response under seismic loading. The tunnel linings are shown to be most susceptible to damage due to induced shear stress, and therefore should be checked in the seismic design.

As the geometrical characteristic of the curved bridge, the seismic response of curved bridges are different from straight bridges. This study analyzed the seismic response of the curved bridges considering diverse factors such as radius of curvature, direction of seismic load and support condition. The improved simple modeling of the curved bridge for seismic analysis is proposed, and it is compared with the detail modeling in order to verify the simple modeling. Three simply supported curved bridges and six 3-span continuous bridges are selected for seismic analysis. The behavior of curved bridges are evaluated in terms of the displacement and the force at supports and piers under seismic load applied in various directions. The results of this study show that upward reaction force may appear in simply supported curved bridge under seismic load. And continuous curved bridges are affected by the direction of the seismic load.

In this study, seismic response analyses of a MW class wind-turbine have been conducted considering applied wind-loads using advanced computational method based on CFD and FEM. Typical lateral and vertical acceleration levels induced by earthquake is also considered herein. Practical numerical method for seismic response analysis of wind-turbine tower models are presented in the time-domain and the effects of wind load and seismic excitation for responses are compared to each other. It is importantly shown that possible earthquake effect during typical operating conditions should be taken into account in the design of huge wind-turbine tower systems because of its enormous inertia characteristics for induced maximum stress level.

This study analysed response spectrum using the observed ground motion from the mine blasting and, then compared the results to the seismic design response spectra applied domestic nuclear power plants. The results showed that the resultant response spectra above 20 Hz revealed higher values than the design response spectra and those below 20 Hz revealed much lower values. These facts suggest that the analysis of response spectrum should be applied to the analysis of impacts to frequency dependent structures in addition to the analysis of peak values of ground motions.

Vibration control devices are classified into passive, semi-active and active device. TMD(Tuned Mass Damper) is one of the passive control device that is mainly used to reduce vibration level of building structure and bridge structure. In this study, the application of passive tuned mass damper(TMD) to seismic response control of dome structures has been investigated. Because star dome structure has primary characteristics of dome structures, star dome structure was used as an example dome structure that is subjected to horizontal or vertical seismic loads. From this numerical analysis, it is shown that seismic response are influenced by vibration modes and it is reasonable to install TMD to the dominant points of each mode. And it is found that the passive TMD could effectively reduce the seismic responses of dome structure.

When a vision chip for edge detection using CMOS process is designed, there is a necessity to implement local light adaptive-function for detecting distinctive features of an image at a wide range of light intensities. Local light adaptation is to achive the almost same output level by changing the size of receptive-fields of the local horizontal cell layers according to input light intensities, based on the lateral inhibitive-function of the horizontal cell. Thus, the almost same output level can be obtained whether input light intensities are much or less larger than background. In this paper, the horizontal cells using a resistive network which consists of p-MOSFETs were modeled and analyzed, and the local light adaptive-mechanism of the designed vision chip using the resistive network was verified.

데이터 웨어하우스는 방대한 이력 데이터들을 저장하는 저장소이며, 이를 다양한 관점에서 분석하기 위해 OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) 연산을 이용한다. 일반적으로 이러한 저장소는 데이터를 저장할 때 많은 열(columns) 을 기반으로 저장하는 와이드(wide) 형태의 테이블로 저장하게 된다. 하지만, 관계형 DBMS에서는 열 수의 제약(MS SQLServer, Oracle 등 열의 수는 1024개임)을 받게 되므로, 그 이상의 열들을 저장할 수 없다. 하지만, 열 기반(이하, 수평 테이블)으로 저장하는 것보다는 관계형 DBMS의 특징을 이용하여 행(row) 기반(이하, 수직 테이블)으로 저장하게 되면 많은 데이터를 효율적으로 저장할 수 있다. 이때, 저장 테이블의 스키마 구조가 변경되므로, 수평 테이블에 대한 질의도 저장된 수직 테이블에 적용 가능하도록 변화시켜야 한다. 또한, 사용자에게 빠른 질의 응답을 제공하기 위해 질의 최적화를 고려하여 실행전락을 세워야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 경험(heuristic)을 근거로 각 연산(프로젝션, 실렉션, 조인 연산)을 위한 질의 트리를 생성하여 질의 최적화에 대한 여러 질의 경로를 고려하고, 다양한 실험을 통해 질의 최적화에 대한 접근 경로들을 분석한다. 이로써, 본 연구의 질의 경로 분석을 기반으로 최적화 실행 계획을 기대해 본다.

최근 교량의 건설에 있어서 내진설계가 주요문제로 부각되면서, 구조물의 진동응답을 제어 하는 갖가지 형태의 진동제어 기법이 적용되고 있다. LRB(Lead Rebbe. Bearing), LUD(Lock Up Device)등 다양한 지진격리장치가 설계에 적용되고 있으며 특히, 설계변경 .내진보수보강과 같이 제약 조건이 있는 상황에서 유용한 면진방법으로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 지진격리장치는 기본적인 설계특성인 수평강성, 감쇠성능에 대한 검증을 필요로 한다. 특히, 지진과 같은 동적하중에 대하여 하중속도, 수직력, 변형률 등에 대한 의존성과 내구성의 검토가 필요하며 유사장치에 대하여 검증실험기준의 정립이 진행 중에 있다. 강재이력댐퍼인 E-Shape 댐퍼는 지진격리장치로서 교각의 고정단에 교좌장치로 설치되어 상시에는 탄성영역 내에서 거동하는 고정단의 역할을 하다가, 지진발생시에는 E-Shape형태의 강재댐퍼가 소성변형을 통한 이력거동으로 에너지 소산기능을 가진 교좌장치이다. 최근 LRB에 대하여는 다양한 특성실험이 수행되고 있으나 상대적으로 강재이력댐퍼에 대하여는 이러한 검증실험이 수반되지 않고 사용되고 있다. 본 실험연구에서는 E-Shape 강재이력댐퍼에 대하여 연직하중, 수평변형률, 수평속도에 패한 동적특성을 평가함으로서 강재이력댐퍼를 이용한 지진격리설계의 타당성과 면진성능을 평가해 보았다.

내항성이 우수한 선형을 개발하기 위해서는 초기설계단계에서 이미 그 배의 해상에서의 거동을 예측할 수 있어야만 한다. 이 보고서에서는 임의의 입사각을 갖는 규칙파중을 항주하는 선박이 겪게 되는 동요중에서 횡동요, 수평동요 그리고 선수동요의 연성운동방정식의 해를 Tassi-Takaki가 수정한 스트립이론을 적용하여 해석하였다. 제15차 ITTC의 내항성 위원회의 보고서에서 발표된 콘테이너선형에 대한 결과와 똑같이 선형에 대해 본 프로그램을 사용하여 계산한 수평동요, 횡동요 그리고 선수동요의 운동응답을 비교하여 보았으며, 상당히 만족스러운 결과를 얻었다.

The cylindrical Upper Guide Structure assembly of the reactor intervals wish the Core Support Barrel and the Inner Barrel Assembly is subjected to flow induced loads horizontally which include random pressure fluctuation due to turbulent flow and pump pulsation pressures. The purpose of this papers is to perform random vibration and harmonic response analyses fort flow induced loads. The dynamic response characteristics due to random turbulence and pump pulsation loads were evaluated using the lumped mass beam model. Especially the model considered the annulus effects due to water gaps existing between cylindrical structures such as the Upper Guide Structure Barrel, the Core Support Barrel, and the Inner Barrel Assembly. The effect of the Inner Barrel Assembly inside the Upper Guide Structure assembly was studied. The peak dynamic responses lot each loading condition due to the addition of IBA were affected by the natural frequencies of the structures. Therefore the peak dynamic responses of the structures should be conservatively obtained from evaluation of dynamic analysis for various loading conditions.
