해양플랜트 구조물은 대양에서 파력을 비롯한 바람 등과 같이 자연에 의해 발생하는 다양한 외력을 구조물 사용기간 동안 지속적으로 랜덤하게 받게 되므로 이로 인한 피로현상이 발생하게 된다. 특히 용접부로 이루어진 격점부는 복잡한 기하형상의 영향으로 피로에 대해 취약구조가 되므로 피로강도향상은 해양플랜트 구조의 안전성에 중요한 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 격점부에 대한 구조상세에 관련한 설계기준 및 평가방법을 조사하였으며, 고정식 Jacket 구조물을 대상으로 프레임요소를 사용하여 구조해석을 실시하여 공용하중에 대한 구조거동을 분석하였다. 또한 격점부의 강도평가방법 및 연결부 피로강도를 개선하기 위하여 프레임요소의 구조해석을 토대로 복잡한 기하형상을 가진 KT형 관이음부(Tubular Joints)에 대해 상세해석을 실시하였다.

Concrete filled tubular(CFT) members have many structural and constructional advantages. The prefabrication of CFT members can be thought an idea for the good qualify control of concrete. The objective of this study is to suggest the construction method of prefab CFT beam-columns. Tests are performed to understand their structural behaviors. The opening space between prefab CFT members and the size of tubular members are the parameters of this study. The results of this study will be based on the suggestion of prefab CFT.

The arc welding processes are substantially nonlinear, in addition to being highly coupled multivariable systems, Frequently, not all the variables affecting the welding quality are known, nor may they be easily quantified. From this point of view, decoupling between the welding parameters from the welding quality is very difficult, which makes it also difficult to control the welding parameters for obtaining the desired welding quality. In this study, a neural network based on the backpropagation algorithm was implemented and adopted for the selection of gas metal arc welding parameters of the fillet joint, that is, welding current, arc voltage and welding speed. The performance of the neural network for modeling the relationship between the welding quality and welding parameters was presented and evaluated by using the actual welding data. To obtain the optimal neural network structure, various types of the neural network structures were tested with the experimental data. It was revealed that the neural network can be effectively adopted to select the appropriate gas metal arc welding parameter of fillet joints for a given weld quality.

In this study, Non-load-carrying EH Grade steels in fillet welded joints were evaluated with both the hot spot stress method and the 1mm stress method. The thickness effect criterion for fatigue strength evaluation of welded of welded steel structures recommendations of the IIW was used to evaluate the fatigue strength of EH40 and EH36 and Both EH40 and EH36 have been compared with FAT 125 curve recommended in the IIW. Furthermore, fatigue strength of the welded tow and the ground conditions for Non-load-carrying EH36 based on the 1mm stress method has been discussed.

The web of a horizontally curved plate girder bridge is, in general, subject to not only longitudinal flexural in-plane stress but also out-of-plane bending stress. Therefore, the induced stresses in the fillet welded joints at the intersection of the web and flange plates in the curved plate girder bridge can be considerably high, and the welded joints of gusset plates connecting the main girder to the floor beams or sway bracings can be subject to much more severe situation than those in the ordinary straight plate girder bridge. In order to investigate the cause of fatigue crack occurred in a curved girder bridge that has been served in about 23 years, in this study, field load tests have been performed to obtain the stress characteristics at the welded joint under the real traffic flow. Using the test results, we have investigated the causes of the occurrence of various fatigue cracks and have estimated the fatigue lives for the cracks. In addition, the characteristics of structural behavior at welded joint of the curved girder bridge have been examined by comparing the FE analysis and the field test result.

선박건조에 있어서 대형 블록의 조립이 이루어지는 선행 탑재 및 탑재 단계에서 Tank Top과 Upper Deck의 V 개선 용접은 FCAW+SAW의 복합용접이 실시되고 있다. 그러나 가장 범용적 모재 두께인 18~20t의 경우 SAW 시공에만 약 5~6Pass가 소요됨으로써 다급한 진수 일정에 많은 지장을 초래하고 있다. 또한 능률 향상을 목적으로 용착량 증가효과를 얻기 위해 철분말이나 절선와이어를 개선면내에 충진하고 용접을 수행하나 획기적인 용접능률을 기대하기 어렵고 용접사 기량에 따라 용접 결함이 발생될 수 있다. 이에 따라 용접패스 수를 줄이고 결함 발생이 없는 용접기법 개발이 절실히 필요하였다. 이를 위해 매우 간단하고 효율적인 위빙장치를 제작하여 선탑/탑재 아래보기 용접이음에 1~2패스의 SAW 용접법을 개발하여 용접생산성은 물론 용접품질까지 획기적으로 향상시키는 기술 개발을 완료하였다.

폭발용접은 화약의 폭발에 의한 충격 에너지를 이용하여 금속을 접합시키는 방법으로서 화약의 폭발에 의해 생기는 순간적인 높은 에너지를 이용하는 접합법이다. 1944년에 처음으로 폭발용접의 기술적, 상업적인 이점으로 인해 수요가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 적용 예는 거대한 판재의 cladding을 포함하여 cladding nozzle, tube 와 tubeplate의 접합, pipe와 pipe의 접합등에 사용되고 있다. 종래의 용접법으로는 용접이 곤란하거나 불가능한 것으로 생각되었던 이종금속에 대해서는 적용이 가능하 고, 용접에 의한 열영향을 받지 않으며 용접 속도가 대단히 빠르다는 잇점이 있다. 또한 용접의 차이가 커서 접합이 곤란한 금속을 폭발용접하면 이음부는 충분한 강도를 가지면서 용이하게 접합할 수 있는 것이 큰 특징이다. 대부분의 금속은 폭발용접이 가능하지만 폭발의 충격에 의해서 균열이 발생되기 쉽고 주철과 같이 취약한 금속 및 Mg을 함유한 알루미늄 합금(순 알루미늄과는 접합 가능함)등은 이 용접법을 사용하기 는 곤란하다. 시공상의 특징으로는 특별한 기계 장치가 필요하지 않고 모재가 판재 혹은 파이프상이면 모재 두께에 제한 받지 않고, 어떠한 형태와도 가능하기 때문에 다품종, 소량생산이 가능하다. 한편 접합시에 화약을 사용하기 때문에 취급에 있어서 주의를 요하고 큰 폭발음 때문에 용접장소의 제한을 받는다는 것이다.

This study was programmed to fabricate a beam-to-column connection that is limited to a steel-welded moment connection with full-scale members, using SN steel. A cyclic seismic test was conducted of the nine specimens that were fabricated by choosing the test variable for the weld access hole geometry, connection design method, and RBS. From the test results, failure modes, the moment-drift behavior, and the strain distribution were provided. From the specimen material properties, the beam's nominal plastic flexural capacity and classified qualified connection as a special moment flame were calculated. By analyzing the skeleton part and the baushinger part, a range of strength-raising effects, and deformation ratios were provided, with which the seismic performance of the specimens were evaluated. The test results showed that the specimens eliminated their weld access holes that demonstrated higher seismic performance than the specimens' existing weld access holes, and that the WUF-W connection that was reinforced by the supplemental fillet weld around the shear tap that was fastened by five bolts demonstrated superior seismic performance.

The stress concentration of the integral welded attachments (IWA) often used to support piping system has been a big issue because it induces local stresses in piping. The method to evaluate local stresses associated with attachments on elbows has been suggested in EPRI TR-107453. However, there are limitations regarding specific parameters range in order to use correlation equation. In this paper, parametric study based on piping elbow size and attachment dimension was performed utilizing finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate the secondary stress indices of hollow circular cross section welded attachments on piping elbows with the extended parameters range. The results of the FEA were used to develop correlation formulas for calculating secondary stress indices. The empirical equations in this study are suggested as an alternative evaluation method of EPRI TR-107453 by extending parameters range.

This paper is especially concerned with the weldment between support beam and square bar that plays important roles in control box of Expansion Joint as a brdige structure. Fatigue strength ({TEX}$$\sigma$_{ult}${/TEX}) of the weldment is dependent on notch factor ({TEX}$K_{f}${/TEX}) become important factors to predict fatigue life. The fatigue notch sensitivity (η) for metals can be divided into two types ; high and low notch sensitivity. In this work, the Expansion Joint weldment was found to have low notch sensitivity. The maximum strain distribution during static loading is similar to the FEM analysis. Fatigue test of real structure was performed up to {TEX}$10^{6}${/TEX} cycles to be compared with predicted endurance limit.
