To evaluate the performance of safety apparatus without the full scale crash test, the computer simulation is inevitable. But, to improve the accuracy of computer simulation, it is important to reasonably determine the input parameters in which the interaction of vehicle-guardrail-soil should be accounted for. This study is focused on how to enhance the reliance of the dynamic performance of guardrail obtained by computer simulation. Analyses were done on the sensitivity of output variables to the change of input parameters by using BARRIER VII of which the usefulness was proved on the barrier-vehicle impact analysis. Through the analyses important input parameters, which give sensitive effects to output of computer simulation, are found out, and methods to determine such parameters are suggested to improve the accuracy of simulation.

The high strength materials have been more widely used in a large reinforced concrete structures. It is known that the use of high strength material in RC structures give the benefits of the mechanical and durable properties, but the ductility decreases with an increase in the strength of the materials. In the design of a reinforced concrete beam, both the flexural strength and ductility need to be considered. So, it is necessary to assess accurately the ductility of the beam with high strength materials in order to ensure the ductility requirement in design. In this study, the effects of the material strength on the flexural behavior and curvature ductility factor of reinforcement concrete beam sections with various reinforcement conditions have been evaluated and a newly prediction formula for curvature ductility factor of RC beam has been developed considering the stress of compression reinforcement at ultimate state. The proposed predictions for the curvature ductility factor which is applicable to both singly and doubly reinforced concrete beam are verified by comparisons with other prediction formulas and the proposed formula offers fairly accurate within 9% error and consistent predictions for curvature ductility factor of reinforced concrete beam.

While structures are designed within elastic range by other designs, plastic behavior of structures should be verified and controlled in order to prevent structural collapse by the earthquake resistant design. No Collapse Requirement for typical bridges is to avoid falling down of superstructure by way of plastic behavior of certain structural elements and to operate emergency vehicles after earthquake. Such plastic behavior is restricted to connections or pier columns and appropriate measures are required for each case. Earthquake Resistant Design part of Roadway Bridge Design Code provides design processes for Ductile Collapse Mechanism by forming plastic hinges at pier columns. Also for bridges with reinforced concrete piers ductility-based design processes are provided as an appendix constructing Brittle Collapse Mechanism with connection yielding. In this study, a typical bridge with steel bearing connections and reinforced concrete piers is selected and No Collapse Design procedure considering both Ductile and Brittle Collapse Mechanism is proposed together with revisions required for the Earthquake Resistant Design part.

해양사고 원인규명 통합 분석 시뮬레이션 시스템은 해양사고가 발생하는 과정(선회)을 포함하여 충돌, 좌초, 접촉, 전복, 침수 및 침몰 등의 해양사고를 유체-구조 연성 해석기법의 고도 정밀 M&S 시스템을 사용하여 과학적으로 해양사고의 원인을 분석하고 사고의 손상과정을 체계적으로 재현할 수 있는 시스템이다. 해양사고는 육상과 공중에서 발생하는 자동차와 비행기 등의 충돌이나 추락사고와는 달리 공기의 밀도보다 천배의 물에서 발생하므로 물에서 부양되고, 운동하고, 선내에 물이 침수되고, 운항 중일 때 파도도 생성시키고, 두 물체가 근접할 경우에는 압력이 압착되고, 두 물체가 스쳐 지나거나 안벽이나 해저를 근접하여 운항할 경우에는 압력이 저하되는 등 물에서의 연성효과(interface effect)를 충분히 고려하여 재현할 수 있어야 정확하게 해양사고의 원인을 규명 및 분석할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 황천에서 발생하는 해양사고일 경우에는 강한 조루, 강풍 및 해일성 파도 등을 불규칙 스펙트럼을 사용하여 정확히 구현하여야 황천에서 발생하는 해양사고의 원인을 충분히 분석할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 해양사고 통합 분석 시뮬레이션 시스템을 이용하여 과학적이고 정확한 해양사고의 원인규명 및 분석으로 심판의 획기적인 신뢰 구축과 심판 지연에 따른 사회적 비용을 최소화하고, 해양사고의 원인과 과실 책임, 나아가서 사고 재발방지 대책수립 등에도 활용하는데도 크게 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 설계 하중에 지배되는 구조물에 있어서, 입력 파라미터들의 불확실성을 표준편차와 패턴의 변동, 두 차원에서 접근, 처리할 수 있는 방안을 제시하기 위해서 구조물에 입력으로 작용하는 하중 패턴의 결정과 구조물의 형상의 진화를 동시에 고려할 수 있는 Co-Evolutionary Structural Design framework라 명명한 새로운 구조 설계 방식을 개발하였다. 공학자의 직관과 경험 의존적인 하중을 대상으로 최적화된 구조물은, 성능에 완벽한 안전을 보장해 줄 수 없으며, 이에 관한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 주어진 상황 속에서 다양한 하중이 작용하더라도 안전할 수 있는 구조물의 설계 방식에 관해서 설명한다. 본 프레임워크는 연성을 가지는 두 Disciplinary Modules, 즉 구조 형상설계와 하중설계로 이루어지며 하중에 관한 DB로 연결되어 순차적인 MDO 설계과정을 거치게 된다. 두 Discipline은 설계과정을 거치면서 상호 견제의 틀 속에서 진화하며 기존 방식과 달리 극한 하중 패턴을 스스로 찾아서 설계 반영하는 특징을 가진다. 본 접근 방식의 유용성을 평가하기 위해서 10-bar truss 구조물과 Jacket-Type 구조물로 테스트해 보았다.

The performance evaluation of reinforcement concrete structure is carried out as a function of the following performance influencing factors: (1) the strength of concrete, (2) longitudinal reinforcement, (3) transverse reinforcement, (4) aspect ratio, and (5) axial force. With various values of the five parameters, eigenvalue analysis and non-linear static analysis were performed to investigate the structural yield displacement, yield basis shear force, and static performance of ductility ratio. In addition, the performance evaluation is carried out according to the modified capacity spectrum method (FEMA-440) using the results of non-linear static analysis, and the effect of each parameter on performance point is analyzed. Based on the result of eigenvalue analysis and non-linear static analysis indicates, that the natural period and the ductility ratio are affected more by the structural properties than the material properties. In case of the analysis of the criterion of performance points, the effect of section shape is one of the important factors together with natural period and ductility ratio.

The reactor internals shall be secured in safety and structural integrity under various vibrational loading conditions. Thus, U.S. NRC, Regulatory Guide 1.20 requires the evaluation for the reactor internals due to acoustic induced vibration including the response to the reactor coolant pump pressure pulsation. This paper suggests a methodology to develop an analytical model of the core support barrel accounting for the fluid around the structure and to analyze the responses to the pump pulsation loads using acoustic structure interaction analysis. The analysis results were compared with those of US Palo Verde 1 CVAP and showed a good agreement. Thus, it is expected that the suggested methodology could be an efficient way to evaluate the response of the core support barrel to the pump pulsation loads.

In this paper, to satisfy the safety and economy immediately, we assume the center of lateral load in case the dynamic motion of the torsionally unbalanced structure is transformed into the static lateral load using modal analysis and proposes a method to control the design eccentricity in order to make the center of lateral load coincide with the center of strength. And when the structure is designed by proposed method, it is shown that the structure designed by proposed method does not demand excessive additional ductility in comparison with the structure designed by provisions of other seismic building code.

Determination of ductility demand and prediction of nonlinear seismic responses of a structure under the earthquake ground motions have become a very important subject for evaluation of seismic performance in the performance based seismic design. In this study, the system ductility demand and nonlinear seismic responses of the steel moment framed structures by the nonlinear time history analysis are estimated and compared with those obtained from the capacity spectrum method suggested in ATC-40 and proposed method that is an improvement on the capacity spectrum method using the equivalent responses derived directly from a multi degree of freedom system. the adequacy and validity of the proposed method is verified by comparing the results evaluated by the method proposed in this study and the results obtained from method suggested in ATC-40 to the nonlinear seismic responses of the example structures from the nonlinear time history analysis.
