지금까지 건조된 jacket 중에서 가장 큰 것으로 알려진 미국 Exxon사의 Harmony jacket 이 현재 현대 중공업에 의해 제작되고 있다. Harmony jacket은 제작완료 후 울산으로부터 미국 California서안의 Santaynez해역으로 운송될 예정인데, 이와 같이 긴 해상운송시에 jacket과 seafasening 부재들은 피로에 의하여 상당히 손상을 입을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 두가지의 가능한 운송항로에 대해, jacket과 tie-down 부재가 받는 피로에 의한 손상정도를 계산하고 그 결과를 비교 하였다. 몇 가지 가정하에 행하여진 해석 결과에 따르면, 피로에 의한 손상을 적게 주는 운송항로는 Hawaii를 경유하는 남쪽할로이며, 운송 barge와 인접하는 부분, 특히 barge 양단 부근의 jacket joint들이 손상을 받기 쉽다는 것을 알 수 있다.

This study is concerned with the optimization of steel jacket subjected to wave forces using the allowable stress design method. The optimization of member section is considered here. Objective function for the minmum cost design is obtained by considering the weight of steel jecket. Constraints are imposed to insure that structural displacement and strength are within allowable values. The nonliner otimization problems are solved by SUMT method including the modified Newton-Raphson method.

Offshore jacket structures generally comprise steel members, and the safety standard for jacket structures typically focuses on the steel components. However, large amounts of concrete grouting is filled in the legs of the Gageocho jacket structure to aid in the recovery from typhoon damage. This paper proposes a safe and lightweight design for the Gageocho ocean research station comprising steel members instead of large amounts of concrete reinforcement in the legs. Based on the actual design, the structural members are grouped according to their functional roles, and the inner diameter of the cross-section in each design group is defined as a design variable. Structural optimization is carried out using a genetic algorithm to minimize the total weight of the structure. To satisfy the conservative safety standards in the offshore field, both the maximum stress and the unity check criteria are considered as design constraints during optimization. For enhanced safety confidence, extreme environmental conditions are assumed. The maximum marine attachment thickness and the section erosion in the splash zone are applied. Additionally, the design load is defined as the force induced by extreme waves, winds, and currents aligned in the same direction. All the loading directions surrounding the structure are considered to design the structure in a balanced and safe manner. As a result, compared with the current structure, the proposed structure features a 45% lighter design, satisfying the strict offshore safety criteria.

A stabbing system is an underwater jointing structure for positioning the jacket substructure for offshore wind power on top of a pile foundation that is already installed in the seabed. In this paper, the structural safety of the stabbing system currently being developed in South Korea was evaluated through finite element analysis. For this study, conformity of the finite element modeling technique for a gripper (hydraulic cylinder) was reviewed, and the structural safety of the stabbing system was evaluated based on the stress safety factor under three design load combinations (combinations of vertical, shear, and moment loads). From the analysis, it was verified that the pile foundation and the stabbing system mounted on top of it are structurally safe according to the stress safety factor, and there will be no interference between major structural components (i.e., guide cone and pile foundation) due to rotation of the guide cone at the end of the jacket leg.

The characteristics of the foundry sand were analyzed for water jacket core required to prevent structural deformation from the heat generated in the cylinder bore during the casting of the cylinder block of an automobile. The sand core tensile strength tester, AFS-GFN, and optical microscope were used to evaluate the its properties. If the SiO2 content is high in the foundry sand, the dimensional defects and veining defects occur due to high temperature expansion. Also, if it is too low, the core breakage, porosities, chemical burn-on defects occur. The particle size index and grain shape influenced the core strength and resin consumption, resulting in fluctuations in defect types. The higher the alkalinity of the dried sand, the lower the core strength. And the more basic, the lower the core strength. At the resin content of 1.6~1.8%, the increase in core strength after 1 hour curing was approximately at its maximum.

본 논문에서는 역전파학습에 의한 신경망기법을 사용하여 구조물의 미지계수를 추정하는 기법을 연구하였다. 대형구조물의 경우 계측 또는 추정하여야 하는 자유도의 수가 많으므로 인하여 구조계수를 추정하는 데에는 많은 어려움이 존재한다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위하여 부구조추정법과 부행렬계수를 사용하여 추정하고자 하는 미지계수의 수를 효율적으로 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. 구조물의 고유주파수 및 모드형상 등의 모드계수를 신경망의 입력자료로 사용하였으며, 추정하고자 하는 부재의 부행렬계수를 신경방의 출력자료로 사용하였다. 입력자료로 사용되는 모드계수에 포함되어 있는 계측오차 및 신호처리오차의 영향을 줄이기 위하여, 신경망의 학습과정에서 노이즈를 첨가하는 기법을 사용하였다. 일반적인 형태의 자켓구조물을 대상으로 수치해석을 수행함으로써 제안기법의 대형구조계에 대한 적용성을 검증하였다.

해양구조물은 다양한 외력으로부터 지속적인 영향을 받으며 특히, 파력은 구조물의 설계에 결정적인 인자로 간주된다. 해양구조물 파장과 구조물의 크기와의 상대적인 관계로부터 크게 소형구조물, 대형구조물, 대상구조물로 대별될 수 있다. 전통적으로 소형구조물은 회절파의 발생이 없는 것으로 가정하여 Morison식으로부터 파력을 산정하고, 대형구조물은 회절파의 작용에 따른 관성력만을 고려하며, 대상구조물은 단면 2차원적인 파압만을 고려하여 Goda파압공식류로부터 작용파압을 추정하고 있다. 이러한 평가는 단주기파랑의 작용에 근거를 두고 있고, 또 대형 및 대상구조물의 경우에는 유체의 점성력을 고려하고 있지 않으며, 특히 지진해일파의 작용에 대한 평가는 전혀 이루어지지 않는 것이 현재의 상태이다. 본 연구는 대형구조물인 슬리트케이슨과 소형 구조물인 자켓구조물을 대상구조물로 선정하여 구조해석을 토대로 파랑의 변화에 따른 구조물의 거동특성을 연구하였다.

When designing fixed jacket structures, overseas design standards are applied due to the absence of domestic design methods. Although the US API standards are mainly applied, API RP 2A suggests two design methods: the allowable stress design method (WSD) and the load resistance coefficient method (LRFD), and is applied according to the designer's judgment. In this study, the stress ratio of the two design methods was reviewed and compared using SACS, an analysis program dedicated to marine structures, for fixed marine structures actually installed on the domestic coast. As a result of the review, it was found that the LRFD design method showed a greater stress ratio for extreme load analysis and transportation analysis, and the WSD design method showed a greater stress ratio for loading and lifting. Therefore, when applying the design method, it is considered appropriate to select the final design method considering safety and economic feasibility after conducting an applicability review for the two design methods.

In this study, the efficacy of Engineered Cementitious Composite(ECC) jacket for masonry fences subjected to lateral dynamic load was experimentally verified through a shaking table test, comparing it with the performance of an unreinforced masonry(URM) fence. Firstly, dominant frequencies, modal damping ratios and deformed shapes were identified through an impact hammer test. URM and ECC-strengthened fences with heights of 940mm and 970mm had natural frequencies of 6.4 and 35.3Hz, and first modal damping ratios of 7.0 and 5.3%, respectively. Secondly, a shaking table test was conducted in the out-of-plane direction, applying a historical earthquake, El Centro(1940) scaled from 25 to 300%. For the URM fence, flexural cracking occurred at the interface of brick and mortar joint(i.e., bed joint) at the ground motion scaled to 50%, and out-of-plane overturning failure followed during the subsequent test conducted at the ground motion scaled to 30%. On the other hand, the ECC-jacketed fence showed a robust performance without any crack or damage until the ground motion scaled to 300%. Finally, the base shear forces exerted upon the URM and ECC-jacketed fences by the ground motions scaled to 25~300% were evaluated and compared with the ones calculated according to the design code. In contrast to the collapse risk of the URM fence at the ground motion of 1,000-year return period, the ECC-jacketed fence was estimated to remain safe up to the 4,800-year return period ground motion.
