파단전 누수균열을 일으키는 가장 주요한 파손 형태는 피로파손으로 사료되어, 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성에 대한 정량적인 해석을 수행하였다. 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관은 발전로에 비해 저온, 저압이므로 ASME Class 3 로 분류되어 설계 완료되었지만 Class 3 절차에 의해서는 피로해석을 구체적으로 수행할 수 없어, 본 연구의 피로해석에 서는 Class 1 절차에 따라 피크응력강도의 범위를 보수적으로 계산하여 피로누적계수를 산정하였다. 일차냉각계통 배관 중에서 피로파괴 가능성이 가장 큰 것으로 예상되는 고응력 지점을 배관응력해석 결과로부터 선택하여 피로해석을 수행하였다. 선택된 분기관 연결부, 앵커 지점 및 butt 용접부의 피로누적계수들이 모두 1 보다 훨씬 작았으므로 열평창과 OBE 지진하중으로 인한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성은 매우 희박한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 냉각재 상실시 파단전 누수균열 개념을 적용하기 위한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손에 대한 배관의 건전성은 충분히 입증된 것으로 판단된다.

A stress distribution of composite laminates patches is obtained by using the Kantorovich method when the substrate is under uniaxial load. The analysis is based on the stress function approach and uses the complementary virtual work principle. The three-dimensional stresses satisfy the traction free conditions at the free edges and the top surfaces of the patch. The stress of the bottom surfaces of the patch is obtained from equilibrium equation of patch and substrate. To demonstrate the efficiency and validity of the proposed analysis, numerical examples for cross-ply and quasi-isotropic laminates are included. The present method provides accurate stresses in the interior and near the free edges of composite laminate patches.

현재 고속도로 상의 노후 교량에 대하여는 재하시험을 통하여 정량적인 내하력 평가를 수행하고, 만족스러운 수준의 내하력이 확보되지 않은 경우에는 보수, 보강 또는 교체를 수행한다. 그러나 교통량이 많은 고속도로사의 교량에 대해서는 재하시험이 매우 어렵고, 센서 케이블 작업으로 인하여 작업성이 떨어지는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기 위하여 상시교통하중에 의한 교량 내하력 평가 시스템에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 내하력 평가 대상 교량에 대하여 상시진동계측을 수행하였으며, 계측된 데이터를 통하여 교량의 동특성을 추정하였다. 추정된 동특성을 바탕으로 초기 해석 모델을 Downhill Simplex 방법을 이용하여 개선하였으며, 개선된 교량 모델을 이용하여 재하시험을 시뮬레이션 함으로써, 처짐 보정 계수를 구하였다.

As piling works in urban area are increasing, SIP which has low noise & vibration piling method takes the place of driven pile which has good bearing charateristics and is economical. Although SIP has been used far more than 15 years and it's use is increasing year by year, accurate analysis of bearing mechanism of SIP is not enough. So the design of SIP is much more conservative than driven pile. This paper is aimed at analysing the bearing charateristics of 103 SIPs constructed in Korea to give rational design criteria. Research result shows that bearing capacity of SIP is 40% lower than that of driven pile and conservative Meyerhof(20$\bar{N}_b'A_b$) method produced closer result to load test results than any other design method. And this result shows that in order to use optimised design criteria for the economical SIP design, quality control criteria must be settled down to produce high bearing capacity.

This paper reviews fundamentals of a pseudo-static seismic design/analysis method for soil-reinforced segmental retaining walls. A comparative study on NCMA and FHWA seismic design guidelines, which are one of the most well known design guidelines for mechanically stabilized earth walls, was also performed. The results demonstrate that there exist significant discrepancies in the results of external stability analysis despite the same calculation model used in the two guidelines, due primarily to different seismic coefficient selection criteria. It is also demonstrated that the internal stability calculation model for NCMA guideline tends to yield larger seismic reinforcement force in the shallower reinforcement layers, resulting in an increased number of reinforcement layers at the top of reinforced wall and increased reinforcement lengths to ensure adequate anchorage capacity. The internal stability calculation model adopted by FHWA guideline, however, leads to redistribution of dynamic force to the lower reinforcement layers and thus results n an opposite trend of NCMA guideline. Findings from this study clearly demonstrate a need for more in-depth studies to develop a generally acceptable design/analysis method.

As the risk of earthquakes increases recently, earthquake-resistant designs were getting interest. For this reason, this study applies that Friction pendulum-type seismic isolator is a device that attenuates seismic energy by friction and pendulum motion. The friction pendulum-type seismic isolator of this study is very easy to transport, install and maintain with light weight of metal by applying the slider using high strength engineering plastic. In addition, there is an advantage that the corrosion resistance is very excellent compared to the existing metal parts. However, there is concern about long-term durability by replacing metal materials. In this study, the frictional pendulum-type seismic isolator with EP was applied to compressive-shear test, repeated fatigue test, and ultimate load test after fatigue test, and analyzed the deformation and shear or properties after the test. As the results, the adequacy of long term fatigue durability was experimentally proven.

This paper presents the results of a three-dimensional finite element analysis on a geosynthetic-reinforced bridge abutment. Examples on the use of mechanically stabilized earth bridge abutment in north America are first presented. A three-dimensional finite element analysis on a 4.8 m high, 14 m wide geosynthetic-reinforced bridge abutment was performed to investigate the 3D behavior of the geosynthetic-reinforced bridge abutment and the load carrying capacity of the bridge abutment in the three-dimensional space. The results are then presented in a way that the three-dimensional behavior of the abutment can be identified in terms of wall displacements and reinforcement forces. It is shown that the wall facing displacements as well as the reinforcement forces in the abutment are smaller than those computed based on a plane strain approximation.

In this study, accelerated pavement tester(APT) was performed on long-life asphalt pavements that can save maintenance and user costs by increasing the design life twice longer than conventional asphalt pavements. Basic material testings are first conducted on a high modulus base(HMB) mixture developed in this study. Four different pavement sections including thin and thick conventional and thin and thick HMB courses are constructed to compare the load-carrying capacities and to investigate the fatigue and rutting performances using an accelerated pavement tester. Tensile strain values at the bottom of base courses under the various loading levels are measured. The tensile strain values of the HMB sections are lower than those of the conventional sections. It is observed from the APT performed on the thin pavement sections that no significant cracks are developed up to the 180,000 cycles of a wheel load. In terms of rutting, only 3mm of rutting is developed in the thick HMB section while 5.3mm of rutting is developed in the thick conventional section at the 90,000 cycles of the wheel load. The HMB material developed in this study can be successfully used in the long-life asphalt pavements because of its excellent fatigue and rutting performances. It is estimated from a series of structural analysis that the use of the HMB material instead of the conventional base materials may reduce the asphalt thickness at least 5cm because of its better load-carrying capacity.

The efficiency of the current design methods for computing pile resistances is analyzed using field load-settlement tests results. Twelve load-settlement test data for drilled shafts and bored piles were obtained from the literature. These load-test data were fitted using the t-z method. Subsequently, the ultimate resistances were evaluated based upon the failure criteria from following methods: (1) the Davisson's approach and (2) settlement corresponding to 5% or 10% shaft diameter approach. The ultimate resistances for these drilled shafts and bored piles were also predicted using methods based on the design code from North America (United States, Canada), Europe, and Asia (Japan). The pile resistances determined from field load-settlement tests were compared with those calculated using the design codes. The comparisons show that most design codes predict a conservative resistance for drilled shafts and bored piles. However, in the case of drilled shafts, we find that some of the design codes can over-predict the resistance and, therefore, should be applied cautiously. This research also shows that the t-z method can be successfully used to predict the ultimate resistance and the load transfer mechanism for a single pile.

As computational technologies have been developed, the load transfer analysis method using load transfer curves is widely performed. Now the load transfer analysis methods are widely used in our country. But most of the curves using in the analysis have been developed in foreign countries. In this study we gathered the data of in situ pile load tests on domestic nine sites in order to derive load transfer curves of driven steel pipe piles. Then we derived average lines of $f/f_{max}$-w/D curves for sandy and clayey soils respectively, which are expressed by hyperbolic function. And the results using these curves and the results using TZPile 2.0 (Analysis program of pile) were compared and analyzed with the results of pile load tests on domestic 3 sites in order to ascertain the applicability of the curves. The results show that the load-settlement relations using the curves in this study are more similar to the measured data and more conservative than those using TZPile 2.0.
