공기경계층을 갖는 유리평판에서 힘의 크기가 10N이고 상승시간이 약 280ns 인 경사 점하중이 인가된 경우에 대하여 진앙점에서 입자 변위와 입자 속도를 계산하였다. 이론적으로 계산된 수직성분이 입자속도가 PZT변환자에 입사한다고 가정하여 PZT 변환자의 과도 응답특성을 Mason 등가회로와 격자점을 이용하여 계산하였다. 유리모세관의 파과시에 방출괴는 과도탄성파를 이용하여 유리평판의 진앙점에서 PZT 변환기의 응답을 조사하였고, 이론과 비교한 결과 상당히 일치하였다. 이를 이용하여 음향방출 시스템인 발생원, 전파매질, 변환자 및 신호분석시스템을 수학적으로 모형화할 수 있는 기초를 마련하였다.

The physical and mechanical properties of red shale and black shale exposed in the Daegu area were investigated in tests conducted to determine unit weight, absorption ratio, porosity, ultrasonic velocity, unconfined compressive strength, point load strength, slake durability index, and deterioration characteristics. XRD, XRF, and SEM analyses were also performed on the shale specimens. While the unit weights of the two shales were similar, the absorption ratio and porosity were higher in the red shale than in the black shale. Despite the higher porosity of the red shale, the ultrasonic velocity, compressive strength, and point load strength were higher in the red shale, which is an unexpected result that may be due to the presence of fine laminations in the black shale. The deterioration rate, as determined from the point load strength and the slake durability index, increased with increasing immersion time and with the acidity of the immersion liquid. The deterioration rate was higher for the red shale than for the black shale because of the higher porosity of the former.

In order to determine the optimal number of monitoring points in single-track tunnel lining, this thesis compares and evaluates the results of two cases: when the tunnel lining is modeled into a simple beam form and then is applied to 1) the tunnel lining inverse analysis program, and to 2) the commercially-used program. The displacement and stress of specific tunnel lining cross-sections are determined by entering the load conditions into the commercially-used program for tunnel interpretations. In doing so, two cases were assumed: where a symmetrically-distributed load was acting upon the tunnel lining of a single-track tunnel and where an asymmetrically-distributed load was in action. By comparing the computed displacement with the stress and displacement determined by entering side numbers 3, 5, and 7 into the tunnel lining inverse analysis program, the optimal number of monitoring points is determined. From the results of the research, it can be inferred that the number of monitoring points needs to be at least 5 points, considering the efficiency of monitoring in practice and the loss-and-damage rate of tunnel monitoring.

Though the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock material is one of the key properties for rockmass characterization purposes, core samples for the test cannot always be obtained from the field. Indirect tests such as the point load test (PLT) can be a useful alternative. In this study, correlation between the UCS and the point load strength index of limestone of Imgye area was analyzed, and the linear regression equation obtained from regression analysis of two variables was suggested. The results of this study were also compared with previous studies on limestone. It was suggested that conversion factors for the same rock type from diverse areas in Korea may have different values, and more data should be obtained to increase the accuracy of regression analysis.

The effectiveness of the isolation system installed at the base of the primary structure and at the support of the substructure mounted on the primary structure is evaluated for reducing of structural responses under different earthquakes in this paper. The structural responses are analyzed to identify its behavior due to the input motion characteristics such as various peak acceleration and frequency content. Three analytical models are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the isolation system in this study as follows: fixed-base primary structure with support-fixed substructure, base-isolated primary structure with support-fixed substructure, and fixed-base primary structure with support-isolated substruciure. A computer code (KBISAP) is used for numerical integration of equation of motion considering the interaction between the primary structure and the secondary structure. The matrix condensation technique and constant average acceleration method are utilized in this program. And also, the effective stiffness of the base-isolator on reducing the structural response are evaluated for various earthquakes through the relationship of the acceleration - displacement.

Accurate estimation of the uniaxial compressive strength of rock is very crucial for the safety of construction activities occurring in the rock mass. However, the uniaxial compressive strength test is expensive and time consuming. Moreover, the uniaxial compressive strength test cannot be performed in the field. In order to solve this kind of problem, many foreign researchers investigated the use of the point load strength test for the estimation of uniaxial compressive strength of rock. However, the result of research obtained for rocks from other countries may not be directly applicable for rocks in Korea. The correlation between the point load strength index and the uniaxial compressive strength for rocks in Korea is suggested in the form of table by using the results of the extensive literature reviews and laboratory tests. The suggested result is expected to be used for the simple and quick estimation of uniaxial compressive strength of rocks in Korea.

Space frame structures have the advantage of constructing a large space structures without column and it may be considered as a shell structure. Nevertheless, with the characteristics of thin and long term of spacing, the unstable problem of space structure could not be set up clearly, and there is a huge difference between theory and experiment. Therefore, in this work, the tangential stiffness matrix of space frame structures is studied to solve the instability problem, and the nonlinear incremental analysis of the structures considering rise-span ratio(${\mu}$) and the ratio of load($R_L$) is performed for searching unstable points. Basing on the results of the example, global buckling can be happened by low rise-span ratio(${\mu}$), nodal buckling can be occurred by high rise-span ratio(${\mu}$). And in case of multi node space structure applying the ratio of load($R_L$), the nodal buckling phenomenon occur at low the ratio of load($R_L$), the global buckling occur a1 high the ratio of load($R_L$). In case of the global buckling, the load of bifurcation is about from 50% to 70% of perfect one's snap-through load.

An experimental research investigation of the fracture properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete is reported. Fibers used in this experiment were two types, monofilament and fibrillated polypropylene fibers. Fiber length was 19 mm, and volume fractions were 0, 1, 2, and 3%. Also, as initial notch depths influence the fracture properties of fiber reinforced concrete, the notch depth ratios by specimen height were 0.15, 0.30 and 0.45. The main objective of this experimental program is to obtain the load-deflection and the load-CMOD curves, to investigate the fracture properties of the polypropylene fiber reinforced concretes. Therefore, the flexural specimen testings on the four-point bending were conducted. Then, the load-load point displacement and the load-crack mouth opening displacement curves were measured. The effects of different volume fractions of the monofilament and the fibrillated polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete on the compressive strength, flexural strength and toughness, stress intensity factor, and fracture energy were investigated through the experimental results.

Sandwich structures have been widely used in the applications of vessel industry, where high structural stiffness is required with small addition of weight. It is so significant to think of the effect of the variables in the design process of the sandwich structure for the concentrated loads. This paper describes the influence of design variables, such as core density, core thickness and face thickness ratio, on the strength of sandwich beam. The theoretical failure loads based on the 2-D elasticity theory agree well with the experimental yield or failure loads, which are measured at the three point bending laboratory test using AS4/3501-6 facing and polyurethane foam core sandwich beam. The comparison of those yield or failure loads was also done with the ratio of the top to bottom face thickness. The theoretical optimum condition is obtained by finding the intersection point of failure modes involved, which gives optimum core density of the sandwich beam for strength and stiffness. In the addition, the effect of unequal face thickness for the optimized and off-optimized sandwich beams for the strength was compared with the ratio of loading length to beam length, and the variations of strength and stiffness were discussed with the relative ratio of core to face mass.

The panels are used as a composite part of the completed deck. They replace the main bottom transverse deck reinforcement and also serve as a form surface for the cast-in-place concrete upper layer that contains the top of deck reinforcement. However, in order to apply the precast panels to bridges properly, it is necessary to fully understand the structural characteristics of joint in precast panels. Particularly, since the bridge deck is under repeated loads such as traffic loads, fatigue behavior and characteristics of joint should be investigated. In this paper, fatigue tests of composite deck with shear ties and loop joints were conducted. The fatigue tests were conducted with an application of repeated loading and wheel loading. Test results were analyzed to examine the current design code for fatigue of reinforcement bar and serviceability under repeated loading.
