Same as-built drawings in national roadway bridges in Korea were examined. As a result, many bridge piers were found whose aspect ratios are in the vicinity of 2.5. These columns are expected to do shear-flexure behaviour, but the previous research works considered flexure behaviour columns only. In the study, therefore, a shear-flexure behaviour column was selected as the model pier, and quasi static test on the full and 1/2 scale models was carried out. From the test results, the scale effect on the seismic performance evaluation was analyzed, and the seismic performance of the model bridge pier without seismic details was evaluated by the capacity spectrum method.

Many highway bridges in Korea need seismic retrofit because only one decade has passed since the seismic design criteria was introduced. For the highway bridges of which bearings are worn and dysfunctional, the validity of seismic retrofit method using laminated rubber bearings was discussed in this study. Real scale RC pier specimens without seismic details were constructed. And then, Pot bearing, Rubber bearing (RB), Lead-rubber bearing (LRB) were applied to these specimens. Through pseudo dynamic test method, dynamic behavior of these RC piers under earthquake was simulated and compared. From the test results, proposed seismic retrofit method was found to be valid.

본 연구에서는 화재시 대규모 피해가 우려되는 승용차 밀집 공간을 가정하여 인접한 승용차로의 화재 전파 특성을 파악하기 위한 실물화재 실험을 실시하였다. 실험은 인접한 두 대의 승용차중 한 대의 차량에 화재를 발생시켜 화재가 성장되고 전파되는 과정을 분석하였으며, 산소소모율법을 적용한 발열량 측정이 동시에 이루어 졌다. 측정 결과 최대 열방출율은 약 9MW로 측정되어 선행된 승용차 한 대의 측정 발열량보다 약 2.5배이상 높은 범위의 값으로 평가되었다. 특히, 인접된 승용차로의 전파는 화재 발생후 약 3분 30초 경과후 창문으로 출화된 화염에 의하여 옆 차량에 화재가 전파되기 시작하였으며, 15분 경과후 완전히 화재가 전이되어 발달되었다. 따라서, 밀폐된 주차장에서의 화재시 발생초기에 가연 공간에서 화재가 진화가 이루어지지 않으면 약 3분 내에 다른 차량으로의 화재 전파가 우려 되며, 이후 급격한 피해를 줄 수 있는 상태로 화재가 성장하기 때문에 신속한 초기 대응이 필요함을 확인하였다. 이러한 실물화재실험에서 얻어낸 결과는 향후 여러 수치해석의 입력 조건으로 활용이 가능할 것이며, 화재 안전 설비 계획에 기본 자료로서 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper is for response feature of fire detectors not only to analysis response feature of fire detector, but also to observe flame spread of inside-building and fire enlargement by using the row house which is supposed to be broken up. Many kinds of popular detectors such as heat type detector(differential type, fixed temperature type, Analogue type)and smoke type(light scattered type, Analogue type, single alarm type) were installed in the house in order to check for the change of temperature by installing of thermocouples. As a result, smoke detectors are better than heat detectors when it comes to making effective fire-detect system in the row house.

본 논문은 터널의 지반-지보재 상호 거동을 규명하기 위한 연구로서 주지보재인 숫크리트의 균열, 파괴하중 및 변형거동을 실물크기의 갱도모형실험을 통해 확인하고 3차원 수치 해석을 실시하여 각각의 결과를 비교 검증하였다. 갱도모형 실험은 실제 터널과 유사한 크기의 터널을 제작하여 11개 실린더에서 측압조건에 따라 하중을 가하여 실험을 수행하였다. 3차원 수치해석 모델링은 갱도모형실험과 가능하면 같은 조건으로 해석하기 위하여 모형실험으로부터 로드셀 및 LVDT를 통해 얻은 하중-변위곡선이 수치해석 시에도 재현되도록 하여 수행되었다.

Full scale construction tests of CFT(concrete filled steel tube) column to solve construction problem and to confirm quality were performed in apartment site. To improve construction efficiency, the tests has been accomplished two stages after the tests for material mixing design had been completed. In the first stage, the experimental variables were the placing methods, existence of guiding pipe, placing velocity and drop height and the height of specimen were $3.6{\cal}m$. In the second stage, Filling steel tube of 9.6m height with concrete was performed by two ways, that is, the pump-up method and the dropping method. The filled condition of the concrete and concrete strength distribution according to the column height were checked and the quality of the CFT column was confirmed.

This paper presented the results of cyclic loading tests of 7 full-scale beams to column subassemblages with improved connection detail i.e., fillets of the stiffening plates at the column corners and ends of the stiffener-to-beam flange weld. Major findings from the test results were: (1) Fillets reduced the stress concentrations that may cause early brittle fractures and considerably improved the cyclic performance compared to the detail without fillets. (2) As the width of the stiffening plate increased, the stiffness and peak strength increased and energy dissipation capacity decreased. (3) While all specimens failed by a fracture, they could develop a total rotation of 0.04 radian required for special moment resisting frames.

The primary object of this study was to develop the control algorithm and program for automatic submersible buoy which is free to move vertically within the water column by adjusting weight and buoyancy forces by air control. The experiment was performed to validate the usefulness of the program in the indoor water tank. In the experiment, the automatic submerging and surfacing of the buoy were controlled by water-pressure gauge and air control system. The buoy is raised by injecting compressed air from a compressor and then is lowered by releasing the air. The submerging and surfacing characteristics of the buoy calculated with the numerical model were similar to measurements obtained with the experiment. It was concluded that the algorithm and program could be useful in analyzing various parameters and submerging mechanisms required to design new type of automatic submersible fish cage system.

The real scale tunnel fire tests are carried out for the first time in domestic range to assess the extent of risk in the tunnel fire. The tunnel dimension is 465 m in length, 9.2 m in width and 6.5 m in height. Gasoline pools with 0.25 MW∼2.5 MW size and a 1500CC passenger car are used as fire sources. Six jet fans are used to change the flow velocity inside the tunnel. Temperatures at total 86 points in the tunnel are measured to find the temperature distribution and smoke behavior in the real tunnel fire. In the experiment, it is examined that the important parameters to assess the extent of risk in tunnel fire such as back layering of smoke front, descending of smoke layer and the fire size of a real passenger car.
