The structural steel produced in domestic is classified into 5 grades. For economic structural design, the structural engineers need to choose optimal steel grades for structural member types, but the related data is not sufficient. Recently, high strength steel with yield strength in 650MPa was developed in domestic. It provides structural engineers with the wider range of structural steel strength, which leads to the larger difference in economic evaluation. In this paper, the economic evaluation of high-strength steel in building structures is investigated, by applying structural steel with 235MPa, 325MPa and 650MPa in yield strength to various types of structural members, and can be used as basic data for economic structural design.

To study the behavior of structures subject to blast loads it is important to calculate the loads due to the explosives accurately, especially in the case of interior explosions. It is known that numerical method based on computational fluid dynamics can estimate relatively accurate blast load due to the interior explosion including reflection effect. However, the numerical method has disadvantages that it is difficult to model the analysis and it takes much time to analyze it. Therefore, in this study, the analytical method which can include the reflection effect of the interior explosion was studied. The target structures were set as the slabs of residential buildings subject to interior explosion that could lead to massive casualties and progressive collapses. First, the numerical method is used to investigate the interior explosion effect and the maximum deflection of the slab which was assumed to be elastic, and compared with the analytical method proposed in this study. In the proposed analytical method, we determine the weighting factor of the reflection effect using the beam theory so that the explosion load calculation method becomes more accurate.

In the present paper, implosion responses of two adjacent cylindrical tubes under external hydrostatic pressure were experimentally investigated. The cylinder models were fabricated of aluminium alloy 6061-T6 commercial tubes. In the experiment, a pair of two-cylinders were placed inside of a support frame in a medium-size pressure chamber, whose design pressure was 6.0MPa. The distance between the two-cylinders was 30 millimeter measured from outer shell at the mid-length. The implosion tests were performed with water and compressed nitrogen gas as the pressurizing media. The ambient static pressure of the chamber and local dynamic pressure near the two-imploded models were measured simultaneously. It was found that the energy released during an implosion from the first, weaker cylinder triggered the instability of the second, stronger cylinders. In other words, the resulting shock wave of the first implosive impact from the weaker cylinder could cause the premature failure of the neighboring stronger cylinders. The non-contact implosion phenomena from the two-cylindrical tube were clearly observed.

Flat plate slab is cost-efficient structural system widely used in high rise building, apartment and parking garages. But flat plate-column connections are so weak against punching shear failure that it may cause collapse of overall structure. In this study, spiral type shear reinforcement which increases the shear strength and ductility of the plate-column connection and has good workability was proposed. And experimental test was performed to verify the punching shear capacity of spiral type shear reinforcement. The current code does not accurately estimate the punching shear strength of slab-column connection with shear reinforcement because slab is so slender that punching failure may occurred before shear reinforcement reached yield stress. Therefore modified equation of ACI code for punching shear strength was proposed base on finite element analysis using LUSAS program, and data analysis from CEB-FIP database.

Asymmetric jump-diffusion models are effectively used to model the dynamic behavior of asset prices with abrupt asymmetric upward and downward changes. However, the estimation of their extension to the multivariate asymmetric jump-diffusion model has been hampered by the analytically intractable likelihood function. This article confronts the problem using a data augmentation method and proposes a new Bayesian method for a multivariate asymmetric Laplace jump-diffusion model. Unlike the previous models, the proposed model is rich enough to incorporate all possible correlated jumps as well as mention individual and common jumps. The proposed model and methodology are illustrated with a simulation study and applied to daily returns for the KOSPI, S&P500, and Nikkei225 indices data from January 2005 to September 2015.

WHO reported that millions of people die every year because of diseases induced from environmental pollution. In 2012, approximately 7 million people were killed due to air pollution. Major cause of such pollution includes toxin, chemical waste, radiation and air pollution. Therefore, the significance and interest to indoor air quality has been continuously increased. Especially, the interest in radon, the ARC group 1 carcinogen, is rapidly increasing, and banning the use of construction materials that release radon, repairing aged buildings, and developing ventilators. To reduce the level of radon gas was inflowed to indoors and outdoors, this study is to research and develop a radon gas absorption board using absorbents. The absorbents utilized to absorb the radon gas were porous diatomite, natural zeolite, 4A zeolite and 13X zeolite and employed bentonite and illite, montmorillonites with the property of exchanging anions. As the main binder, magnesium oxide was used, with a content of 25% magnesium chloride.

HSA800 is a new high strength steel (HSS) plate for building structures developed by POSCO and RIST in 2011. It has upper and lower bounds for yield ($F_y$) and tensile ($F_u$) strength as of 650-770MPa and 800-950MPa, respectively, with yield ratio ($F_y/F_u$) limit as of 0.85 which make steel quality more reliable and enhance the seismic resistance of structures. As made by TMCP, it has a good weldability without increasing carbon percentage. The objective of this study is to provide alternative design of mega-structural members of the Lotte World Tower (555m, 123 story), a first super-tall building in Korea, using HSS considering structural safety, constructability, and cost-effectiveness. Steel outrigger trusses, belt-trusses and steel exterior columns were selected and analyzed to evaluate the structural performance between original and alternative designs using HSS. The results show that HSS can be applied to the members which do not affect lateral stiffness of a building and, in this study, approximately 1100tons of steel were saved. It implies that HSS can save overall construction costs - manufacturing, delivery, and erection costs - by reducing mega structural member size. HSA800 was very first applied to the Lotte World Tower based on the results of this study.

Based on the data observed and analyzed on a groundwater flow system in the KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) site, the transport of radionuclides, which were assumed to be released at the supposed position, was calculated on the time-domain. A groundwater pathway from the release position to the surface was identified by simulating the groundwater flow model with the hydrogeological characteristics measured from the field tests in the KURT site. The elapsed time when the radionuclides moved through the pathway is evaluated using TDRW (Time Domain Random Walk) method for simulating the transport on the time-domain. Some retention mechanisms, such as radioactive decay, equilibrium sorption, and matrix diffusion, as well as the advection-dispersion were selected as the factors to influence on the elapsed time. From the simulation results, the effects of the sorption and matrix diffusion, determined by the properties of the radionuclides and underground media, on the transport of the radionuclides were analyzed and a decay chain of the radionuclides was also examined. The radionuclide ratio of the mass discharge into the surface environment to the mass released from the supposed repository did not exceed $10^{-3}$, and it decreased when the matrix diffusion were considered. The method used in this study could be used in preparing the data on radionuclide transport for a safety assessment of a geological disposal facility because the method could evaluate the travel time of the radionuclides considering the transport retention mechanism.

Critical infrastructures (energy, information technology and communications, banking, transportation, public government services, etc.) are now more vital to modern society. Citizens, businesses and governments all rely on an array of interlinked physical and information infrastructures to satisfy their needs and perform their daily operations. At the same time, these infrastructures are becoming increasingly interdependent, such that failure of one of them can often propagate and result in domino effects. Recent dramatic episodes, from 9/11 to the Madrid train bombings, the April 2010 ash cloud the power cuts in Korea in 2011, and the cyber-attacks have highlighted the need for a comprehensive, internationally coordinated policy for the protection of critical infrastructures. For the purposes of this report, we define critical infrastructure as infrastructure whose failure would result in substantial damage to society and/or the economy.

최근 기후변화로 인해 예측이 어려운 국지성 호우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 국지성 호우는 대량의 홍수를 일으키고 산사태와 유송잡물을 동반한 흐름을 야기할 수 있으며 이로 말미암아 인근의 초목과 식생들로부터 유목(driftwood)이 발생하기도 한다. 유목이 흐름과 함께 떠내려 오게 되면 그로 인한 운동에너지가 크게 발생하게 되며, 수공구조물과 주택가옥 등에 충돌시, 순수한 수류의 충돌보다 훨씬 큰 손상을 주기도 한다. 또한 유목이 수공구조물 인근 하상에 군집하면 통수능을 저하시키기도 하며 식생효과와 마찬가지로 유목주변으로 유속이 증가하면서 세굴현상이 발생하게 되는데, 이는 하상저하를 일으키며 수공구조물의 안정성에 지속적으로 피해를 줄 수 있다. 특히 군집된 유목들이 교각에 충격을 주면 흐름방향으로 교각에 작용하는 외력을 증가시키게 되고 군집된 유목들이 다른 유목들을 연쇄적으로 포착하는 동시에 흐름을 지속적으로 방해하여 수위상승을 야기하게 된다. 이는 유목주변으로 세굴을 발생시켜 교량의 붕괴를 촉진시킬 수 있다. 일본의 경우에는 대부분의 하천유역의 경사가 매우 급하기 때문에 홍수발생시 산사태와 유송잡물들이 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 그에 따라 대량의 유목들이 하천으로 유입되어 하천의 수공구조물과 주거지역에 심각한 피해를 주는 경우도 많다. 따라서 유목의 거동과 군집현상을 이해하여 사전에 유목거동의 예측과 유목과 하상변동의 상호작용 분석을 통해 유목에 의한 수리구조물 피해를 예측하는 연구들이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 유목의 거동과 군집양상을 예측분석하기 위해 유목과 흐름의 이동상 실내실험과 수치해석을 수행하여 유목유입량에 따른 하상변동과 유목의 하상퇴적양상 및 다양한 거동을 관측분석 하였다. 특히, 유목간의 상호충돌과 측벽충돌을 고려하는 수치모듈을 유목동역학모형에 적용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 이동상 하상에서의 유목의 군집과정을 분석하고 수치해석의 한계와 개선사항들을 논의하였다.
