The records of field instrumentation, which have been performed on the pneumatic caisson used for substructure of the Youngjong Grand Bridge, were analyzed to investigate the ground contact pressure under rigid foundation of large pneumatic caisson embedded in various ground layers. During sinking the pneumatic caisson, the resisting force was mobilized against sinking the caisson at the contact area between bottom of the caisson and the ground. The resisting force could be measured by the reaction force gauges instrumented under the edge of bottom of the pneumatic caisson. And the ground contact pressure could be estimated by use of the measuring records of the resisting force. The ground contact pressure under rigid foundation of large pneumatic caisson shows concave distribution on bedrock, while convex distribution was shown in marine deposit soil layer as well as weathered rock layer. And, the ground contact pressure in various ground layers was distributed axis-symmetrically. The distribution shape of the ground contact pressure determined by the maximum pressure acting on foundation of the large pneumatic caisson showed good coincidence with the distribution shape proposed for rigid foundation by Kgler(1936) and Fang(1991).

A Non_Pneumatic tire (NPT) has spoke to replace air of the pneumatic tires. A NPT appears to have advantages over the conventional pneumatic tire in terms of flat proof and maintenance free. And a NPT can also be used in the space environment since it uses no air for inflation. In this study, the static contact pressure of NPTs with auxetic honeycomb spokes is investigated as a function of vertical loading and is compared with that of a pneumatic tire. The finite element based numerical simulation of the local stress of an airless tire is carried out with ABAQUS for varying vertical force and honeycomb spokes geometries.

When a structure is built on the consolidation ground, the instant elastic deflection occures according to the characteristics of the ground and the load on it. And the corresponding contact pressure is established. But, as time passes, the secondary consolidating deflection is added to the instant elastic deflection, the upper structure, due to its flexural rigidity, resist to the additional curvature. So the variation of the contact pressure occurs. And this new contact pressure exerts influence on the consolidation form again. The new consolidation form exerts influence on the contact pressure in return. This kind of interaction continues till all the consolidation of the ground is finished. So the consolidation problem can not be definded as the linear problem. This paper intends to scheme an approximate iteration method to analyse this non-linear interaction problem between the upper structure and the lower consolidation ground which supports the former.

In this study, the structural analysis was conducted to the comparison of reaction force and contact pressure on the design truck load (DB-24 and KL-510) of slab bridge supported by MSEW abutment. As a result of the structural analysis, the reaction force acting on the abutment at the continuous bridge was reduced rather than the simple span bridge. The reaction force due to the dead load was estimated to be about twice as large as that of the live load, and the influence of the live load on the total reaction force was relatively small. The contact pressure of the MSEW abutment was estimated to be the largest in the simple span bridge. The influence of contact pressure on the type of live load was relatively small. Therefore, it is considered to be more advantageous to apply the MSEW abutment to the continuous bridge than to the simple span bridge because the contact pressure acting on the abutment on the continuous bridge is estimated to be small. Since the reaction force and the load sharing ratio acting on the MSEW abutment depending on various conditions, it is necessary to examine the contact pressure in various types of bridges and specifications.

An electrical railway system uses high voltage system for train traction and low voltage system for train control. Railway systems are broadly distributed across mountains, sea sides and cities. Electrical accidents provoke the death and injury of a human being and the damage of the equipment by the overcurrent due to the catenary dropping and by the overvoltage due to lightning. Grounding systems are adopted for the protections of the system from the overcurrent and the overvoltage. Isolation grounding for each system can be easily installed. However, the closed circuits between grounding systems can be occurred. The currents flow through the closed circuits cause the abnormal operation of the system. To overcome the problem of the isolation grounding, the equipotential bonding is usually adopted. The equipotential bonding should have very small grounding resistance. In this paper, we showed the transition from the isolation grounding system to the common grounding system and presented the comparison and the analysis of two grounding systems by simulation. In addition, we proposed the direction for a new grounding system of electric railway.

일반적으로 배전반과 변압기와 같은 고전압 전력기기를 운전하는 경우에는 외부 환경에 의한 열화특성뿐만 아니라 전력기기 내부의 구조적 특성에 의한 절연적 특성 변화가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 고신뢰성의 고전압 전력기기를 설계하기 위해서는 이와 같은 점을 고려한 내부 설계가 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 접지부에 여러 가지 형상을 가지는 볼트와 같은 구조물을 위치시키고 그에 따른 절연파괴전압의 변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 동일한 전극 간격에 대한 AC 전압의 특성변화를 실험을 통하여 측정하고 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 절연파괴전압은 접지측에 위치한 볼트의 형상에 따라 크게 변화한다는 사실을 알 수 있었으며, 이와 같은 결과는 고전압 전력기기를 설계 및 제작하는데 큰 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

An airless tire has advantages over the conventional pneumatic tire in terms of flat proof and maintenance free. According to the recently disclosed inventions on the airless tire, non-pneumatic tire (NPT) consists of the flexible polygon spokes. Considering the NPT structure, the spokes undergo the tension-compression cyclic loading while the tire rolls. Therefore the spokes of NPT are required to have both stiffness and resilience under the cyclic tensile-compressible loading. In general, if a material has a high stiffness, it shows a low elastic strain limit. In this paper, using the auxetic honeycomb structure with negative poissons's ratio, the spokes of NPT tire are designed to have both stiffness and resilience. Finite element based numerical simulation of the contact pressure of a NPT is carried out with ABAQUS.

The stresses in concrete pavement systems are larger when vehicle loads are applied at pavement edges, and these large stresses significantly affect the behavior and performance of pavements. Therefore, in this study, the stress distribution and the critical stresses in concrete pavements were investigated using a finite element model when dual-wheel single-, tandem-, and tridem-axle loads were applied at pavement edges. First, the stress distribution along the longitudinal and transverse directions was analyzed, and then the effects of slab thickness, concrete elastic modulus, and foundation stiffness on the stress distribution were investigated. The effect of the tire contact pressure related to the tire print area was also studied. The location of the critical stress occurrence in concrete pavements was finally investigated. From this study, it was found that the critical concrete stress due to edge loads became larger as the concrete elastic modulus increased, the slab thickness increased, and the foundation stiffness decreased. The effect of the tire contact pressure on the critical stress was clear as the slab thickness became smaller. The critical stress location in the transverse direction was independent of the concrete elastic modulus and the foundation stiffness; however, it moved into the interior as the slab thickness increased. The critical stress location in the longitudinal direction was under the axle for single- and tandem-axle loads, but for tridem-axle loads, it tended to move under the middle axle from the outer axles as the concrete elastic modulus and/or slab thickness increased and the foundation stiffness decreased.
