This study was conducted to provide reference data for designing an alarm system that can help prevent the overturning of a container crane under wind load. Two methods, namely, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis and windtunnel test, were adopted in this investigation. To evaluate the effect of wind load on the stability of the crane, a 50-ton-class container crane that is widely used in container terminals was adopted as the analysis model and 19 values were considered as design parameters for wind direction. First, the wind-tunnel test for the reduced-scale container crane model was performed according to the wind direction by using an Eiffel type atmospheric boundary-layer wind tunnel. Next, the FSI analysis for the real-scale container crane was conducted using ANSYS and CFX. Then, the uplift force determined from the FSI analysis was compared with that determined from the wind-tunnel test. Finally, a formula to compensate for the difference between the results of the FSI analysis and the wind-tunnel test was proposed.

This paper proposes a versatile formula which can be used to evaluate the fire resistant time of steel beams under various design conditions. Towards this end, the key parameters which affect the fire performance of steel beams were first determined through thermo-mechanical considerations, and classified into two groups: structural parameters and thermal parameters. Then the degree of influence of each parameter on the fire performance was investigated through a fully coupled thermo-mechanical analysis up to the occurrence of run-away deflection. The accuracy of the numerical model used was verified using an available full-scale fire test before conducting an extensive parametric analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to obtain the formula which can be used to predict the fire resistance time of steel beams under various design conditions. The statistical analysis showed that the proposed formula is very robust. The application of the formula in practical fire design under the current code was illustrated in detail. The economy and other advantages of the proposed formula were clearly shown.

The main objective of this study is to develop an analytical model for the resilient modulus of EPS geofoam when it is applied for flexible pavement as a subgrade material. This analytical model has been developed based on the results from triaxial compression tests. And this model can be used to analyze the flexible pavement structure using the finite element method by developing a program or modifying an existing program for any desired purposes. The results of this study show that the EPS geofoam as a replacement material for subgrade in flexible pavement is a feasible alternative to natural weak soils.

In designing the boundary confinement of shear walls, the current design provisions and recommendations are empirical and prescriptive; they specify a certain confinement length and details, regardless of the actual requirement of ductility Therefore, they are inappropriate to the performance based-design. The purpose of the present study is to develop a ductility design method that Is applicable to the performance based-design of shear wall. For the purpose, experimental studies were performed to investigate variations in the ductility of shear walls with the length of the boundary confinement. Five specimens modeling the compressive zone of cross sections with different confinement area were tested against eccentric vertical load. Through the experimental studies, strength, ductility, and failure mode of the compression zone were investigated. In addition, nonlinear numerical analyses for the overall cross-sections of shear wall were performed to investigate variations of the stress and strain profiles with the length of compression zone. On the basis of the experimental and numerical studies, a ductility design method for shear wall was developed. By using the proposed design method, for a given ductility demand, the area of lateral confinement and corresponding reinforcement ratio can be precisely determined so that the ductile behavior and economical design are assured.

전력용 개폐장치인 진공차단기의 차단부가 송배전 시스템에 30 [kA] 정도의 커다란 사고전류가 흐르는 것을 방지하기 위하여 동작될 때 차단부 내부 전극 사이에 25,000 [K] 이상의 아크 플라즈마가 발생하게 된다. 두 전극 사이에 발생된 아크 플라즈마는 약 10 ms~20 ms 동안 지속되다가 교류전원의 전류영점 부근에서 회복된 절연성능으로 인하여 자연스럽게 소멸되지만, 대전류 구간동안 아크 플라즈마의 집중 현상 등에 의하여 전극의 심각한 손상 등이 발생되면 절연성능이 요구된 만큼 회복되지 못하여 사고전류를 차단하지 못하며 시스템에 연결된 기기들에게 심각한 손상을 입히고 정전사고를 일으킨다. 본 연구에서는 전자계-열유동 연성해석기법을 이용한 축자계 진공차단부에서 발생하는 아크 플라즈마의 3차원 수치해석을 통하여 전극의 심각한 손상을 입히는 아크플라즈마의 집중 현상에 관한 축자계의 영향을 고찰하고자 한다. 수치해석을 위한 아크 영역은 양극과 음극의 직경과 같은 직경의 원기둥으로 가정하였고, 전자계 해석으로부터 얻어진 로렌츠 힘과 줄열을 열유동 해석을 위한 Navier-Stokes 방정식의 파라미터로 입력하여 해석을 수행함으로써 전자계와 유체역학적인 영역을 동시에 연계한 순차적 일방향 연성해석 기법을 적용하였다. 컵형 축자계 진공차단부 내 아크영역에서의 로렌츠 힘의 특성과 온도분포에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하였고, 크기가 다른 두 로렌츠 힘에 의하여 양극표면으로 집중되는 온도분포의 크기를 비교함으로써 진공아크 플라즈마의 집중현상에 영향을 미치는 주요 요소를 규명할 수 있었다.

The reliable sloshing assessment methods for LNG CCS(cargo containment system) are important to satisfy the structural strength of the systems. Multiphase fluid flow of LNG and Gas Compressibility may have a large effect on excited pressures and structural response. Impinging jet model has been introduced to simulate the impact of the LNG sloshing and analyze structural response of LNG CCS as a practical FSI(fluid structure interaction) method. The practical method based on fluid structure interaction analysis is employed in order to evaluate the structural strength in actual scale for Mark III CCS. The numerical model is based on an Euler model that employs the CVFEM(control volume based finite element method). It includes the particle motion of gas to simulate not only the interphase interaction between LNG liquid and gas and the impact load on the LNG insulation box. The analysis results by proposed method are evaluated and discussed for an effectiveness of FSI analysis method.
