The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of elastic and inelastic bekavior of ductile momenting-resisting reinforced concrete frame subjected to reversed lateral loading such as earthquake excitations. For this purpose, a 2-bay 2-story reinforced concrete plane frame with seismic detail was designed and one 1/2.5-scale subassemblage was manufactured according to the required similitude law. Then, the reversed load test under the displacement control was performed statically to this subassemblage. Finally, the results of this test were analysed regarding to (1) the design load vs actual strength, (2) degradation in stiffness and strength. (3) failure mode or energy dissipation. (4) local deformations.

In the case of a concrete structure, vibration problems occur under various conditions because of its low damping performance. To solve this problem, a study on the high damping performance of the polymer concrete with hybrid damper has recently been increased. Since water is not used in polymer concrete, the curing time is short. Also, the physical properties and dynamic properties of polymer concrete are quite excellent. So polymer concrete is widely expected to be used for structural materials. The hybrid damper is the structural system that consists of steel balls and viscous fluid inside the pipe which is embedded in polymer concrete. It can reduce the structural vibrations through the energy dissipation mechanism of viscous fluid and steel balls. In this study, the physical and dynamic properties of polymer concrete with hybrid damper were compared with ordinary concrete. As a result, the elasticity coefficient and the strength of the polymer concrete with hybrid damper were so much excellent. In particular, the tensile strength was 6.5 to 10 times higher than ordinary concrete. The frequency response function and damping ratio were also compared. As a result, the dynamic Stiffness of the polymer concrete was 25% greater than that of ordinary concrete. The damping ratio of the polymer concrete was approximately 3 times higher than that of ordinary concrete. Although the dynamic stiffness of the hybrid damper showed similar tendency, the damping ratio was 3.5 times higher than that of ordinary concrete. Therefore, the polymer concrete with hybrid damper was superior to ordinary concrete.

현재 교통인구 비중에 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 철도 차량은 기술의 발전으로 인한 고속화에 성공하여 300km/h대의 속도를 달성하기에 이르렀다. 열차가 고속화됨으로 인하여 열차 주행시 운동에너지가 더욱 커졌고 이를 소산하기 위한 제동 역시 더욱 중요하게 되었다. 열차의 제동시 중요한 점은 wheel의 skidding을 방지함으로 wheel의 편마멸을 줄이는 것이며 이를 위해선 제동장치의 설계시 wheel과 rail간의 점착현상의 이해가 필수적이다. 제동력이 점착력보다 클 경우는 skidding이 발생하며 제동력이 점착력보다 작은 경우는 충분한 제덩을 하지 못한다는 것을 의미한다. 그러므로 열차의 제동장치를 설계함에 있어서 점착계수는 필수적인 요소가 되었으며 미국, 일본, 독일 등의 선진 각국에서는 점착계수를 측정하여 그 특성을 파악하려는 실험이 실험실 및 실차 차원에서 많이 행하여졌다. 각각 다른 접척조건, 속도 등에 따른 실험이 진행되어 왔으나 각 연구의 결과는 조금씩 다른 결향을 나타내었고, 점착현상에 관한 물리적인 설명은 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 wheel과 rail의 접촉인 경우에 있어 점착현상의 변화를 속도, 하중, 접촉조건에 따른다고 보고 점착현상의 특성을 각각 sliding, pure rolling실험을 통해 파악하고 기타 참고문헌에서 발표된 점착계수와 비교하여 물리적으로 이해하고자 하였다.

보는 낙차공과 함께 하천에서 자주 시공되는 하천 구조물로 매년 태풍이나 홍수로 큰 피해를 나타내는 대표적인 시설물 중 하나이다. 구미의 경우에는 보 하류부에 정수지(stilling basin)등을 설치하여 에너지를 적절히 소산시켜 하류로 흘려보내는 공법을 사용하고 있으나 우리나라와 기후조건이 유사한 일본에서는 보하류부에 물받이 및 하상보호공을 설치하는 방법으로 보 설계를 하고 있어 하상보호공에 대한 설계개념에 차이가 있다. 현재 국내의 보 설계는 Bligh공식에 따라 물받이 및 하상보호공을 결정하였으나 지반의 침투영향을 고려하여 도출된 공식이므로 수리적 특성를 고려하지 못하는 한계성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 보에서 수리특성을 고려한 물받이 및 하상보호공 설계를 위한 수리실험을 통해 설계지침을 보완할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 수리조건에 따른 하상보호공 길이를 제안하는데 목적이 있으며 이를 위해 난류유속강도를 주요영향 요소로 선정하여 도수 및 도수 후 구간에 대해 난류강도 변화를 분석하였다.

In this study, a new methodology fur the assessment of liquefaction potential is proposed and characteristics of the proposed methodology are verified. The experimental parameter of this methodology, that is, the plastic shear strain trajectory, is compared with the dissipated energy. It is shown that this parameter can express the liquefaction behavior which is generated by excess pore water pressure. This methodology takes advantage of the shear strain time history determined from the site response analysis based on the real time history of earthquake. In this site response analysis, shock type and vibration type records of similar predominant frequency are inputted. The liquefaction safely factors based on the proposed methodology and Korean detailed assessment related to the classical method are calculated from the results of the site response analysis and laboratory dynamic tests. Through this study, it is found that the proposed methodology can not only simulate the liquefaction behavior of saturated soils hut also express the seismic characteristics reasonably : leading type, predominant frequency, maximum acceleration, duration time.

Thermo-acoustic waves can be generated in a compressible fluid by rapid heating and cooling near the boundary walls. These phenomena are very important mechanism of heat transfer in the space environment in which natural convection does not exist. In this study, the generation and transmission characteristics of thermo-acoustic waves in an air filled enclosure with rapid wall heating are studied numerically. The governing equations were discretized using control volume method, and were solved using PISO algorithm and second-order upwind scheme. For the stable solution time step were considered as t=1$\times$$10^{-9}$ order, and grids are 50$\times$800. The induced thermo-acoustic wave propagates through the fluid until it decays due to viscous and heat dissipation. The wave showed sharp front shape and decreased with long tail.

This study was conducted to experimentally investigate the seismic retrofitting performance of non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frames by introducing engineered cementitious composite (ECC) wing panel elements. Non-ductile RC frame tested in this study were designed and detailed for gravity loads with insufficient or no consideration to lateral loads. Therefore, Non-ductile RC frame were not satisfied on present seismic code requirements. The precast ECC wing panels were used to improve the seismic structural performance of existing non-ductile RC frame. A series of experiments were carried out to evaluate the structural performance of ECC wing panel elements alone a non-ductile RC frame strengthened by adding ECC panel elements. Failure pattern, strength, stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics of specimens were evaluated based on the test results. The test results show that both lateral strength and stiffness were significantly improved in specimen strengthened than non-ductile RC frame. It is noted that ECC wing wall elements application on non-ductile RC frame can be effective alternative on seismic retrofit of non-ductile building.

The possibility of a broadband noise reduction of piezoelectric smart panels is experimentally studied. Piezoelectric smart panel is basically a plate structure on which piezoelectric patch with shunt circuits is mounted and sound absorbing material is bonded on the surface of the structure. Sound absorbing materials can absorb the sound transmitted at mid frequency region effectively while the use of piezoelectric shunt damping can reduce the transmission at resonance frequencies of the panel structure. To be able to tune the piezoelectric shunt circuit, the measured electrical impedance model is adopted. Resonant shunt circuit composed of register and inductor in stories is considered and the circuit parameters are determined based on maximizing the dissipated energy through the circuit. The transmitted noise reduction performance of smart panels is investigated using an acoustic tunnel. The tunnel is a square crosses sectional tunnel and a loud speaker is mounted at one side of the tunnel as a sound source. Panels are mounted in the middle of the tunnel and the transmitted sound pressure across the panels is measured. Noise reduction performance of a double smart panel possessing absorbing material and air gap shows a good result at mid frequency region except the first resonance frequency. By enabling the piezoelectric shunt damping, noise reduction is achieved at the resonance frequency as well. Piezoelectric smart panels incorporating passive method and piezoelectric shunt damping are a promising technology for noise reduction in a broadband frequency.

PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration) is the parameter which indicates the peak value for strong ground motion and is mainly due to the intensity of the seismic wave. Usually, seismic waves can consist of different characteristics and can have different effects on structures. Therefore, it may be undesirable that the effects of a seismic wave are evaluated only based on the PGA. In this study, time history analysis was executed with a single degree of freedom model for inelastic seismic analysis. The numerical model was assumed to be a perfect elasto-plastic model. Input accelerations were made with El Centro NS (1940), other earthquake records and artificial earthquakes. The displacement ductility demand and cumulative dissipated energy, which were calculated from other artificial earthquakes, were compared. As a result, different responses from other seismic waves which have the same PGA were identified. Therefore, an index which could reflect both seismic and structural characteristics is needed. The SI (Spectrum Intensity) scale which could be obtained from integration by parts of the velocity response spectrum could be an index reflecting the inelastic seismic response of structures. It can be possible to identify from correlation analysis among the SI scale, displacement ductility demand and cumulative dissipated energy that the SI scale is sufficient to be an index for the inelastic response of structures under seismic conditions.

지열 냉난방 시스템의 설계는 냉난방 공간의 크기에 따라 필요한 부하를 계산하여 설계하게된 다. 설계 부하를 충분히 소화할 수 있는 지열교환기의 길이와 보어홀의 깊이 및 개수는 지반의 열적 특성에 크게 좌우된다. 열전도율이 큰 지반일수록 지열교환기 내의 열 흡수 및 소산이 효과적으로 이루어져 지열교환기의 길이도 상대적으로 짧아질 수 있다. 즉, 효율적이고 정확한 설계를 하기 위해서는 지반, 암반 및 지중열교환기의 물리적 특성에 따른 열적 특성을 설계자는 미리 숙지하여야 한다. 현재 국내에서 수직 밀폐형 지중열교환기의 그라우트로 벤토나이트를 가장 많이 사용하고 있으나, 해외의 경우 지중 조건에 따라 시멘트 또는 벤토나이트를 적절히 선택하여 시공하고 있다. 이는 벤토나이트의 특성상 적용 조건이 제약을 받기 때문이며, 특히 지하수가 존재하지 않을 경우 사용이 사실상 불가능하다. 국내에서 이에 대한 충분한 연구는 아직 이루어지지 않았으며, 시멘트 그라우트를 사용하기 위한 물리적, 열적 특성에 대한 연구가 필요한 시점이라 판단하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 시멘트 그라우트의 경우 수화반응이 일어나는 초기의 건조수축을 최소화하는 배합비로 물성을 구성하였으며, 벤토나이트는 일반 현장 시공 비율을 사용하였다. 열전도율은 첫째 실내 시험으로 시멘트 그라우트에 대한 열판시험법과 벤토나이트 그라우트에 대한 탐침시험법으로 수행하여 구하였으며, 두 번째 방법인 현장 시공으로 직접 현장열응답시험을 수행하여 그라우트 간의 열적 특성을 비교하였다. 또한 기존 시멘트그라우트의 열적 특성을 개량한 코오롱건설에서 개발한 시멘트 그라우트에 대한 열적 거동도 기존 타 그라우트의 열적 거동과 비교하였으며, 개발 제품의 성능이 상당히 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
