The purpose of this study is to assess the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns using nonlinear finite element analysis. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process may be enhanced by the use of sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program. A computer program, named RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures was used. Damage index aims to provide a means of quantifying numerically the damage in reinforced concrete bridge columns sustained under earthquake loading. The proposed numerical method for the seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete bridge columns is verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

본 연구에서는 선박 자동조타시스템의 비선형 요소가 추진 에너지 손실량에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가, 해석하였다. 대양을 자동조타로써 보침 항해중인 선박의 자동조타시스템은 크게 선형 및 비선형요소로 나눌 수있는데, 각 요소들중, 특히 시스템 내부에 인위적으로 또는 불가피하게 설치되어 있는 비선형요소들의 영향은 매우 크다. 본 연구에서는 오토파일럿의 비선형 제어 상수가 전체 시스템의 안정성 또는 추진 에너지 손실의 증감에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 수치계산에 이용한 선박은 소형 어선 1척과 대형 광석운반석 1척이며 평균, 풍속 10m/sec 의 대표적 해상상태의 풍·파랑 외란 조건하에서 추지 에너지 손실의 지표인 성능평가지수를 계산하였다. 그리고 수치계산 결과에 대해서도 논하였다.

인터넷 문화 활성화에 따라, 새로이 제작된 멀티 미디어 컨텐츠의 부가가치가 높아지고 있으며, 저작물에 대한 도용 또한 문제시 되고 있다. 멀티미디어 매체 중에서 이미지는 큰 비중을 차지하고 있으며, 인터넷 상에서 도용된 이미지는 원본으로 부터 크기 확대 및 축소, 가로/세로비 변화, 문자 강제 색인 등의 형태로 변형되어 나타난다. 본 논문은 이와 같이 웹상에서 변형 도용된 이미지를 검색하기 위하여, MPEG-7 컬러 기술자인 Color Layout 기술자를 이용하여 모든 변형된 이미지를 검색하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 단순 변형 및 2 가지 이상이 혼합된 복합 변형된 도용 이미지들에 대해서도 검색이 가능하다. 정량적 평가를 위해 인위적으로 조작된 351 개의 이미지를 대상으로 MPEG-7 검색 성능 평가 지수인 ANM-RR (Average Normalized Modified Retrieval Rank)를 이용하여 효용성을 보였다.

In various engineering fields, determining the appropriate parameter set is a cumbersome and difficult task when solving optimization problems. Despite the appropriate parameter setting through parameter sensitivity analysis, there are limits to evaluating whether the parameters are appropriate for all optimization problems. For this reason, kinds of a Self-adaptive Harmony searches have been developed to solve various engineering problems by the appropriate setting of algorithm's own parameters according to the problem. In this study, various types of Self-adaptive Harmony searches were investigated and the characteristics of optimization were categorized. Six algorithms with a differentiation of optimization process were applied and compared with not only the mathematical optimization problem, but also the engineering problem, which has been applied widely in the algorithm performance comparisons. The performance of each algorithm was compared, and the statistical performance indicators were used to evaluate the application results quantitatively.

The objective of this research is to investigate the seismic performance and flexure-shear behavior of square reinforced concrete bridge piers with solid and hollow cross section. Test specimens were nonseismically designed with the aspect ratio 4.5 Two reinforced concrete columns were tested under constant axial load while subjected to lateral load reversals with increasing drift levels. Longitudinal steel ratio was 2.217 percent. The transverse reinforcement ratio As/($s{\cdot}h$), corresponding to 58 percent of the minimum lateral reinforcement required by Korean Bridge Design Specifications for seismic detailing, which represent existing columns not designed by the current seismic design specifications or designed by limited ductility concept. This study are to provide quantitative reference data for the limited ductility design concept and tendency for performance or damage assessment based on the performance levels such as cracking, yielding, collapse, etc. Failure behavior, ultimate displacement/drift ratio, displacement ductility, response modification factor, equivalent viscous damping ratio, residual deformation, effective stiffness, plastic hinge length, strain of reinforcements and nonlinear analysis are investigated and discussed in this paper.

In this study, the impact load on concrete compression member was considered to assess the quantitative damage index. The case study was carried out using the LS-DYNA, on explicit finite element analysis program. The parameters for the case study were impact load angle, slenderness ratio, etc. Using the analysis results, the performance based design method for impact load was developed using Bayesian probabilistic method, which can be applied to reinforced concrete column design for impact loads.

In this study, standards and test methods for building materials of domestic and foreign countries were compared and analyzed to propose evaluation methods for the fire-retardant performance of HANOK components (Traditional house). IBC and NFPA codes recently have been adopted in the US, and the properties such as critical heat flux, fire spread index and smoke density are being used as an evaluation reference. In Europe, the unified Euroclass has been adopted and the surface flammability, prototype fire test or cone calorimeter test are conducted for the performance test. Japan has the similar system as Korea where the class is classified into 3 grades. We tried to study a quantitative evaluation method of fire retardant performance for the HANOK components based on the analysis results of the several countries' standards and test methods for building materials.

Transverse steel bars are used in the plastic hinge zone of columns to insure adequate confinement, prevention of longitudinal bar buckling and ductile behavior. Fabrication and placement of rectangular hoops and cross-ties in columns are difficult to construct. Details of reinforcement for rectangular section require a lot of rectangular hoops and cross-ties. In this paper, to solve these problems, the new lateral confinement method using oblong hoop is proposed for the transverse confinement of the flared column. It can be the alternative for oblong cross-section and flared column with improved workability and cost-efficiency. The final objectives of this study are to suggest appropriate oblong hoop details and to provide quantitative reference data and tendency for seismic performance or damage assessment based on the drift levels such as residual deformation, elastic strain energy. This paper describes factors of seismic performance such as ultimate displacement/drift ratio, displacement ductility, response modification factor, equivalent viscous damping ratio and effective stiffness.

Recently, damage scale of human-induced disaster is sharply increased but its occurrences and damages are so uncertain that it is hard to construct a resonable response & mitigation plan for infrastructures. Therefore, the needs for a advanced risk management technique based on a probabilistic and stochastic risk evaluation theory is increased. In this study, these evaluation methods were investigated and a advanced disaster risk evaluation method, which is based on the probabilistic or stochastic risk assessment theory and also is a quantitative evaluation technique, was suggested. With this method, the safety changes as the result of fire damage management for recent 40 years was analyzed. And the result was compared with that of Japan. Through the consilience of the traditional risk assessment method and this method, a stochastical estimation technique for the uncertainty of future disaster's damage could support a cost-effective information for a resonable decision making on disaster mitigation.

This paper addresses the problem of reducing the speckle noise in SAR images by wavelet transformation, using a non-local means(NLM) filter originated for Gaussian noise removal. Log-transformed SAR image makes multiplicative speckle noise additive. Thus, non-local means filtering and wavelet thresholding are used to reduce the additive noise, followed by an exponential transformation. NLM filter is an image denoising method that replaces each pixel by a weighted average of all the similarly pixels in the image. But the NLM filter takes an acceptable amount of time to perform the process for all possible pairs of pixels. This paper, also proposes an alternative strategy that uses the t-test more efficiently to eliminate pixel pairs that are dissimilar. Extensive simulations showed that the proposed filter outperforms many existing filters terms of quantitative measures such as PSNR and DSSIM as well as qualitative judgments of image quality and the computational time required to restore images.
