In this study, the behaviors of a suction cap shaped as an arch were analyzed using finite element models. The fundamental structural behaviors of both flat- and arch-type caps were compared, and the advantages of the arch-shaped cap were explained. Moreover, the effects of geometric parameters and stiffener arrangements on the stress and deformation of the arch-shaped caps were investigated by comparisons of the changes in the behaviors of the caps. Additionally, the effects of boundary condition at the edge of the cap were analyzed to study the interactions between the cap and cofferdam walls; these results were used to derive the fundamental structural design of stiffened arch caps. Unlike flat caps, the results showed that ring stiffeners could improve the structural behaviors of arch caps remarkably, while the contributions of the radial stiffeners to the structural behaviors of the caps are dependent on constraints at the edges of the caps.

The thickness of the material can be thinned because arch cut-and-cover tunnel has the support mechanism by the axial force, and the ground reaction force due moderate deformation can be expected thereby making it be dynamically advantageous, therefore the arch cut-and-cover tunnel has become more widely used. An important characteristic of the arch cut-and-cover tunnel is that the thickness of the material can be thinned because precast arch type has the support mechanism by the axial force. However, there is a different stress state surrounding the structures between normally excavated tunnels and cut-and-cover tunnels, it should be considered at designing. Therefore, finite element method was carried out to examine the mechanical behavior of the precast arch cut-and-cover tunnel considering construction procedure.

케이블 정착구 검토를 위해서 사장교 전 체계를 모델링하는 것은 전체모델링 해석시 많은 노력과 시간이 요구되고 해석결과의 분석 또한 어려움이 많다. 따라서 문제가 예상되는 부분만을 국부 상세해석하여 구조적 거동을 정확히 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 케이블 정착부에는 여러 보강재들로 구성되어 있어 국부해석에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 실제와 가능한 한 근접하도록 모델링을 하고 전체 구조물의 거동을 국부 상세모델에 적적히 반영할 수 있도록 경계조건을 설정하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 부산 지하철 4호선의 아치형 사장교를 국내 범용 구조해석 프로그램인 MIDAS/CIVIL을 이용하여 아치리브와 거더정착구 모델링을 실시하였다. 해석 후 해석의 타당성을 검토하고 정착부의 안전성을 확보할 수 있는지 검토 분석 하고자 한다.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of elastica shaped arches. The elastica shaped arches are formed by the post-buckled column whose arc length is always constant. The equations governing free, planar vibration of general arch in open literature are modified for applying the free vibrations of elastica shaped arch and solved numerically to obtain frequencies and mode shapes for hinged-hinged, clamped-hinged and clamped-clamped end constraints. The effects of rotatory inertia, rise ratio and slenderness ratio on natural frequencies are presented. The frequencies of elastica shaped arches are greater than those of parabolic shaped ones. Also, typical mode shapes are presented in figures.

It is saving material cost and construction cost by replacing conventional building materials, and It has advantages for aesthetic value. In the Europe, the United States, Japan and other country research about BIPV is actively being carried out and marketability is also being infinity expanding. Arch type PV systems efficiency characteristics is different depending on PV array's directly connection, parallel connection and arches angle, but is a lack of analysis on this nowadays. When the arch type PV system design up, they consider about aesthetic value and they didn't consider about generation efficiency. In this paper, we try to improve the efficiency through optimization of arch type PV system and estimation of the efficiency parameters of the arch type PV system, such as latitude, longitude, temperature, insolation, arch angle and each kind loss from system organization. For improving Arched PV system efficiency, proposed multiple control inverter system, and using simulation tool of Arched PV system "Solar pro", flat-plate type and many arch type PV system configuration the driving characteristics were compared and analyzed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate crop growth responses under various rain shelters which were devised to improve the indoor environment in summer season. For developing the proper type of rain shelter, the improved rain shelters with the roof of saw - tooth type(saw-tooth type) and 3 span-arch type(improved arch type) were compared with the conventional one with the roof of single arch type(conventional arch type) and no rain shelter (open field ). The results were summarized as follows ; 1. The air temperature in the improved arch type was 4$^{\circ}C$ and 1$^{\circ}C$ lower than those in the conventional arch type and the saw - tooth type, respectively. 2. The air temperature drop by the evaporative cooling + improved drainage was 1.3$^{\circ}C$ which was 0.9$^{\circ}C$lower than that by the improved drainage only. 3. The effect of labour saving in the saw-tooth type was superior to any other type because its frames were used as props and the labour for ventilation was not needed. 4. The highest marketable yield of tomato was 4,897kg/10a in the improved arch type and the total leaf areas which related to photosynthesis was the largest in the saw - tooth type. 5. The improved arch type was proved to be proper to raise yield potential. The effect of the underground environment treatment on the quality and quantity of vegetable showed to be outstanding in the saw- tooth type with the evaporative cooling + improved drainage, and in the improved and conventional arch type with the trickle improved drainage. 6. In conclusion, the saw - tooth type and the improved arch type were proved to be labour saving rain shelters and the indoor environments in both types were better than that in the conventional arch type.

본 논문에서는 다양한 아치형 태양광발전(Photovoltaic : PV) 시스템을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 구성하고 그 운전특성을 최적의 경사각을 가지는 일정 경사각 PV 시스템과 비교 분석하였다. 결과 아치형 PV 시스템의 경우 모두 PV 어레이 경사각이 $30^{\circ}$인 일정 경사형 시스템에 비하여 9% 이상의 큰 차이가 남을 알 수 있었으며, 최적의 아치경사각은 $10^{\circ}\sim30^{\circ}$임을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, the number of shallow tunnel construction increases to improve the structural safety and environment-friendliness. In Semi-Cut and Cover Method, ground is excavated to the crown arch level and braced rib arch is set to backfill before the excavation of lower face. Semi-Cut and Cover Method is proposed to solve the problems occurred by the conventional Cut and Cover Method, such as unstability, high-cost and the large cutting slope to be reinforced. In this paper, the behaviors of Braced Rib Arch in shallow tunnel excavated by semi-cut and cover method was studied. Model tests in 1:10 Scale were performed in real construction sequences. The distance between supports of rib arch was 1.8 m and the length of spacer was 1.0 m. the size of test pit was 4.0 m (width)$\times$3.3 m (length) 4.0 m (height) in dimension. Tests results show that backfill load acting on arch was smaller than that in the conventional Open-Cut Method.

This paper investigates equivalent stress and deformation happening at inner fiber structure when the tensile force acts on the specimen with arch type composed of carbon fiber. The countless many each fiber is applied on the unidirectional axis at CFRP and has the high specific strength and stiffness by comparing with iron. In this study, the distribution of stress due to radius is investigated at the structure of arch type composed with the optimum stacking angle of $60^{\circ}$. And the durability is seen to be lower as the radius increases at the same stacking angle. By applying the result of this study to the design of structure with arch type, it can be devoted to the safe design for the prevention of damage and the durabilty improvement. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at the designed factor and show the esthetic sense.
