The classical statistical approach using test data samples to estimate true value of Random Variables by calculating mean and variation (standard deviation or coefficient of variation) of samples is very useful to understand the existing condition of the structure. But with this classical approach, our prior knowledge through educational background and professional experience cannot provide any benefit to make decisions by the structural engineers. This paper shows the role of Bayesian methodology by providing chance of using valuable prior knowledge to come up with more accurate estimation of structural condition. This paper also shows how important it is to have a proper prior estimate of Random Variables and corresponding confidence level through gathering and studying more relevant information.

선박은 판과 보강재를 효율적으로 조립한 매우 복잡한 구조물이고, 이동하는 구조물로써는 최대규모의 구조물이다. 특히, 선체 구조의 설계란 "예상되는 모든 하중에 충분히 견딜 수 있는 강도(strength)와 강성(stiffness)을 가진 부재의 크기를 결정하고 적절히 배치하는 과정이다." 라고 말할 수 있다. 선체 구조의 설계는 부재의 배치가 얼마나 적절하게 잘되어 있는가에 달려 있다고 하여도 과언이 아닐 정도로 매우 중요하다. 주요 구조 부재의 부재 배치에 대한 기본적인 개념은 판 부재의 용접선(seam line), 종, 횡늑골의 간격, 종거어더 등을 예로 들 수 있으며, 부재의 배치는 최적 설계 및 공작상의 관점으로부터 선정되어야 하며, 또한 선체 전체의 구조적인 연결이 불연속이 되지 않도록 하여야 한다. 특히, 판 부재의 용접선은 여러 가지 표준치수로 생산되는 판 들 중, 판의 기준 폭이 얼마인 것을 사용하는 것이 공작상 또는 배치상 가장 편리한 가를 생각하여야 한다. 이것은 선박의 크기에 따라 다르겠지만, 조선소 크레인의 용량 및 가공상, 강도상의 문제를 고려하여 가능한 한용접선의 수를 줄이는 것이 바람직하다. 용접선을 줄이기 위해서는 판 부재의 폭을 넓게 하면 되나, 철강회사에서 표준으로 생산 판매하는 주판의 폭보다 넓은 판을 주문 구입 한다는 것은 곧 생산비용의 증가로 이어지는 것으로 이는 주판 구입 경비 측면에서는 바람직하지 않다. 따라 서, 주판 구입경비의 최소화를 유도하면서도 주판 폭의 적정 및 용접선 개수 최소화를 유지할 수 있도록 설계하는 것은 중요하지만, 용접선 배치의 문제는 다양한 입력 변수를 고려해야 하는 복잡한 문제이기 때문에 그간 최적화 관점에서 접근하지 못하고 시니어급 엔지니어가 가진 경험과 조선소의 지침서에 기재된 절차에 따라 대략적인 해를 결정하여 왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 복잡한 문제를 최적화 방법인 당금질(Simulated Annealing) 방법을 이용하여 해결한 결과를 소개하며, 그 결과와 효용성에 대해 논하도록 하겠다.

This study focused on the direct blending of bonding agents (resorcinol, hexamethylenetetramine, NaOH) into rubber compound to simplify the composite manufacturing process. The mechanism of direct blending system was studied by comparing the following two cases. The one is direct blending of bonding agents into rubber compound and then allows the reaction (Case I). The other is mixing of reactant obtained by reaction of bonding agents (Case II). According to the morphology analysis, the Case II showed the clean interfacial area between bonding agents and matrix rubber, while the Case I created the new interphase under proper processing condition. Also, the optimum adhesion strength between SBR and nylon cord could be obtained with bonding agents whose molar ratios of resprcinol/hexamethylenetetramine was 1.2/1 in the recipes.

In injection molded parts, the ribs require more complicated mold cavities and cores. But it is necessary for the parts to attach the ribs for assembly, moldability and other functional purposes. To design them appropriately considering structural strength and injection molding, the profound knowledge that includes moldability, causal effects on the properties of the part is needed. This paper describes the design methodology which enables easy, simple, time and cost-effective design for the features.

The FEMA P695 document proposed a methodology to evaluate the collapse safety of a structure and the validity of the seismic design coefficients. In this study, the seismic performance of six- and twelve-story staggered wall structures with a middle corridor was evaluated based on the FEMA P695 procedure. The analysis results of the prototype structures were compared with those of the structures with an increased coupling beam depth or an increased re-bar ratio of the coupling beams in order to investigate the effect of retrofit. The adjusted collapse margin ratios (ACMR) of the model structures obtained from incremental dynamic analyses turned out to be larger than the specified limit states of an ACMR of 20%, which implies that the analysis model structures have enough strength against design level earthquakes. It was also observed that the increase in the re-bar ratio of the coupling beams between the staggered walls was more effective in increasing the ACMR than an increase in the depth of the coupling beams.

External confinement by CFS (Carbon Fiber Sheet) is a very effective retrofit method for the reinforced concrete columns subject to either static or seismic loads. For the reliable and cost-effective design of CFS, an accurate stress-strain model is required for CFS-confined concrete. In this paper, uniaxial compression test on short RC column with square section was performed. To evaluate the effect of confinement on the stress-strain relationship of CFS-confined concrete, CFS area ratio and tie area ratio are considered. Based on the experimental results, a stress-strain model is proposed for concrete confined by CFS wraps. In the development of the model, the method to compute the actual hoop strains in CFS jackets at the rupture was examined and resolved. Overall, the results of the model agree well with test data.

Two-arch tunnels require minimal spacing between the 2 tunnels and thus occupy small amount of land compared to parallel tunnels. But it is rather expensive. The parallel tunnel is not as expensive, but it requires more land than 2-arch tunnels. This may cause a problem when there is a land shortage. The new design is to connect these two types of tunnels by another pair of parallel tunnels where the separation distance is gradually increasing. The applicability of this new design to the cases where rock condition is not even fair has to be verified since the width of the pillar between the connecting tunnels can be quite narrow. Therefore both two and three dimensional numerical analyses were conducted and pillar stability was examined for rock classes IV and V in two different ways. Results showed that this new design is still effective for poor rock conditions if central pillar is properly reinforced by tension bolts as long as overburden is less than five times of the tunnel diameter.

Tweed-Merrifield directional force technology is a very useful concept, especially for the treatment of Glass II malocclusion. It has contributed to treating a favorable counter-clockwise skeletal change and balanced face, while head gear force using high pull J-hook (HPJH) in an appropriate direction is also essential to influence such results. Clinicians have encountered some problems concerning patients' compliance; however skeletal anchorage has been used widely of late because it does not necessitate patients' compliance, yet produces absolute anchorage. In this case, a good facial balance was obtained by Tweed-Merrifield directional force technology using HPJH together with skeletal anchorage, which provided anchorage control in the maxillary posterior area, torque control in the maxillary anterior area, and mandibular response. This indicates 4hat skeletal anchorage can be used to reinforce sagittal and vortical anchorage in the maxillary posterior area during the retraction of anterior teeth. The author used HPJH for torque control, Intrusion, and the bodily movement of maxillary anterior teeth during on masse movement. However, it is thought that such a result nay also be achieved by substituting mini- or microscrews for HPJH. Consequently, Tweed-Merrifield directional force technology using skeletal anchorage for the treatment of Class II malocclusion not only maximiaes the result of treatment but can also minimize patients' compliance.

Recent case studies in Japan have shown that rockbolts are commonly installed at an oblique angle to the excavation direction of the tunnel, instead of at a right angle, due to restriction of the working space. In particular, in the case of expansion in an existing tunnel, the working space can be very small, due to the large protective structures necessary to operate within an existing tunnel. In this case, where both the current use of the existing tunnel, and the reinforcement of the ground around the tunnel are required, the effects of installation angles and patterns of rockbolts are important factors in the design process. Therefore, in this study, a total number of 24 model tests are performed, to investigate the reinforcing effects of system bolting installed obliquely from the excavation direction of the tunnel, by changing the installation angle of bolts, longitudinal distance, and bonded length of bolts. The model test results indicate that the relaxed load ratio decreases, with the increase of both the bonded lengths and the number of the installed bolts, resulting in the decrease of the supported area by one bolt. Two-dimensional numerical analysis, which considered the reinforcement effect of inclined system bolting as the change of engineering properties near the tunnel, demonstrated that the deflection patterns at the tunnel crown in the numerical simulations, show a similar tendency to those measured in the model tests.
