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.

일반적으로 비중이 큰 철광석이나 석탄 등을 운반하는 선박화물선의 호퍼 너클 이음부는 여러 판이 용접되어 복잡한 형상을 가지고 있어 응력이 집중되어지므로 피로강도평가 시 많은 문제점이 노출되는 구간이다. 이번 연구에서는 기존 sloping 방식의 호퍼 너클 이음 부를 갖는 180k 산적화물선 표준 모델과 제안 되어진 round 방식의 호퍼 너클 이음 부를 갖는 산적화물선에 대하여 구조강도평가와 피로강도평가를 수행하였다. 이때 합리적인 비교를 위하여 제안되어진 모델은 기존의 표준 모델의 화물창과 발라스트창의용적이 일치하도록 제안하였다. 또한 CSR을 기반으로 한 하중들에 대하여 허용응력과 25년 피로수명을 만족하도록 구조부재를 결정하였으며 피로강도평가 결과를 바탕으로 호퍼 너클부의 변화에 따른 선각 중량과 상대 건조 비 개념을 이용하여 보다 효율적인 구조를 제시 하였다.

일반적으로 구조부재의 안전성 평가는 계측된 센서의 변형률로부터 부재의 최대응력 또는 부재력 수준을 결정하고 설계기준에 의한 부재의 허용응력 또는 설계 강도와의 비교에 의해서 이루어진다. 그러나 이러한 설계기준은 건물의 설계단계에서 미리 가정된 하중 및 부재의 강도에 대한 여러 확률분포 또는 안전율을 반영하여 작성된 것으로 실질적으로 센서로부터 측정한 데이터를 직접 설계기준에 반영하는 것은 합리적이지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 실제 센서로부터 측정되는 변형률을 이용하여 합리적으로 구조부재의 안전성 평가를 수행하기 위한 방법을 모색하고자 한다. 설계기준을 고려한 변형률 제한치, 저감계수가 도입되었으며 이에 추가적으로 센서와 관련한 계수를 도입하여 구조부재의 안전성 평가를 위한 방향을 제시한다.

An experimental study has been conducted by using the Cyclic Direct Simple Shear apparatus to evaluate the influence of average and cyclic shear stresses on the undrained shear failure behavior of marine silty sand considering various relative densities. The obtained results show that despite using different relative densities, similar trends were gained in the cyclic shear deformation. Moreover, the cyclic shear deformation is affected mainly by the average and cyclic shear stresses. The number of cyclic loads for failure is significantly affected by the cyclic shear stress ratio and relative density, and is less affected by the average shear stress ratio. The proposed three-dimensional stress-dependent failure contour can be used effectively to assess the soil shear strength considering various relative densities in the design of foundation used for offshore structures.

In this study, the target ground was selected for the assessment of liquefaction, for which energy-based Arias intensity liquefaction assessment method was applied, The results of evaluation by simplified method using conventional in-situ test were compared. The result of the assessment of liquefaction revealed that the safety factor of the Arias Intensity using the actual records of the Hachinohe and Ofunato earthquake showed generally similar trends with the simplified method, However, the Arias Intensity factor of safety for the artificial earthquake created from the design response spectrum showed some difference from the factors of safety of the simplified method. The shear stress ratio and the occurrence strength of the Arias Intensity are differently calculated between stress and energy, but the resistance stress ratio of the simplified method and the resistance strength of the Arias Intensity use the empirical chart of the results of the standard penetration test for the actual liquefaction areas by the earthquake, which seems the reason for the similar results between Arias Intensity assessment and stress concept simplified method for Hachinohe and Ofunato earthquakes. Therefore, it was found that the energy-based Arias Intensity liquefaction assessment could represent the dynamic changes of the ground caused by seismic characteristics such as acceleration, magnitude, duration and amplitude.

A parallel slide gate valve (PSGV) is located between the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and the steam turbine in a combined cycle power plant (CCPP). It is used to control the flow of steam and runs with repetitive operations such as startups, load changes, and shutdowns during its operation period. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the fatigue damage and the structural integrity under a large compressive thermal stress due to the temperature difference through the valve wall thickness during the startup operations. In this paper, the thermal-structural analysis and the fatigue life evaluation of a 16-inch PSGV, which is installed on the HP steam line, is performed according to the fatigue life assessment method described in the ASME B&PVC VIII-2; the method uses the equivalent stress from the elastic stress analysis.

Seismic risk analysis was performed based on the total stress and effective stress of caisson type quay wall and pier type quay wall. In order to consider the effective stress effect, the pore pressure of the ground was distributed, using Byrne(1991) simple formula to estimate parameter and applied to the finn model. Through the results of seismic risk analysis according to the total stress and effective stress analysis method, the necessity of effective stress analysis in the seismic design of the quay wall installed on the soft ground was confirmed.

It is well recognized that residual stresses of the rails, generated from the manufacturing process including roller straightening and heat treatment, play an important role in determining fatigue and fracture properties of the rails. Thus, it has been a challenge to measure the residual stresses accurately. In this work, contour method was employed to evaluate the residual stresses existing in interior of the rails. The cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rail was cut at a very slow rate using electric discharge machining (EDM), after which a laser-based flexural measuring instrument enabled us to precisely measure the flection of the cross section. The measured data were converted into the residual stresses using the commercial finite element package, ABAQUS, through a user-defined element (UEL) subroutine, and the residual stresses of the new rails (50N, KR60, UIC60) with three different specifications were compared.

Due to the revitalization of urban development, the number of cases of excavating tunnels adjacent to existing subways is increasing. This may affect the structure and track of the existing subway, resulting in reduced stability and usability. In this study, we verified the adequacy of the proximity evaluation range to ensure the stability of new tunnels and existing subways when excavating adjacent to tunnels, and proposed a quantitative correction rate considering various conditions. Conditions for applying the correction rate considered rock grade, geologically weak section, structurally weak section, and structural deterioration section. It is hoped that a more accurate proximity evaluation will be performed by applying a quantitative correction rate that considers rock and geological conditions, structure status, etc. to the proximity evaluation standard.
