Generally, estimations on the displacement as an important factor in evaluating the safety of large structures could be a barometer assessing whether the condition of the structure is deteriorating. Practically, it is not easy how to measure the displacement response to large structures like suspension bridges. In this study, as a method for estimation displacement response from strain signals, mode decomposition technique is proposed. Total displacement response is estimated by superposing quasistatic displacement response and modal displacement responses in dominant modes with larger contributions after estimating the modal displacement responses. If foiled strain gauges are used to measure strain signals, there would likely to generate electric noise, what's more, the more measuring points there are the more economic burden it could be. In order to solve such problems, fiber optic bragg-grating(FBG) sensors were used, which have multi-point measurements with no effect on electric noises. Therefore, the experiment was performed through dynamic load test of suspension bridge and plate-girder bridge to review the possibility for using mode decomposition technique.

In this study, impact transient responses of (Graphite/Epoxy) laminated composite subjected to low-velocity impact are investigated using a finite element method. Dynamic von-Karman plate equations considering large deflection of plate are modified to include the effect of transverse shear deformations as in Mindlin plate theory and also the rotary inertia effect is considered. The convergence of transient responses is used contact law established through the statical indentation test. We investigate displacements, contact forces and strains by thickness variation of various laminated composite. We compare and analyze each results.

To evaluate the seismic capacity of a multistorey building structures in performance based seismic design, it is needed to convert MDOF model into equivalent SDOF model. This paper presents predictions for interstory drift of multistorey structures using method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model. The principal objective of this investigation is to evaluate appropriateness of converting method through performing nonlinear time history analysis of a multistory building structures and an equivalent SDOF model. Comparing the interstory drift of multistorey structures calculated by time history analysis and those evaluated by an equivalent SDOF model, the adequacy and the validity of converting method is verified. The conclusion of this study is following; A method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model through the nonlinear time history response analysis is valid. Inelastic first mode shapes are expected to be more accurate than elastic first mode shapes in obtaining interstory drift of multistorey structures from equivalent SDOF model.

Since the bridge is the main facility of the road that is the core of the civil infrastructure, the bridge is constructed to ensure stability and serviceability during the traffic use. In order to secure the safety of bridges, evaluating the integrity of bridges at present is an important task in the maintenance work of bridges. In general, to evaluate the load carrying capacity of bridges, it is possible to confirm the superimposed behavior and symmetric behavior of bridges by estimating the lateral load distribution factor of the bridges through vehicle loading tests. However, in order to measure the lateral load distribution factor of a commonly used bridge, a static loading test is performed. There is a difficulty in traffic control. Therefore, in this study, the static displacement component of the bridge measured in the dynamic loading test and the ambient vibration test was extracted by using empirical mode decomposition technique. The lateral load distribution was estimated using the extracted static displacement component and compared with the lateral load distribution factor measured in the static loading test.

In this paper, a simple but effective analysis procedure to estimate seismic capacities of multi-span continuous bridge structures is proposed on the basis of modal pushover analysis considering all the dynamic modes of structure. Unlike previous studies, the proposed method eliminates the coupling effects induced from the direct application of modal decomposition by introducing an identical stiffness ratio and an approximate elastic deformed shape. Moreover, in addition to these two introductions, the use of an appropriate distributed load {P} makes it possible to predict the dynamic responses for all kinds of bridge structures through a simpler analysis procedure. Finally, in order to establish the validity and applicability of the proposed method, correlation studies between rigorous nonlinear time history analysis and the proposed method are conducted for multi-span continuous bridges.

A damage identification technique using static displacement data is developed to asses s the structural integrity of bridge structures.As such, the relationship between static displacement and stiffness is derived, and the optimization technique utilized.Comparisons with numerical and experimental tests are performed to investigate the practical applicability of the proposed method.Various damage scenarios are considered by varying damage-width as well as damage-degree. The influence of noise in identifying the damage is also numerically investigated.Finally, the applicability and limitation of the proposed method are discussed.

This paper investigates the natural modes and static reponses of modularized floating structure. As an example structure, a floating parking place$(120m{\times}60m)$ is considered. In the evaluation of natural modes and static responses, numerical equations are formulated by FEM(Finite Element Method) and the natural modes are solved by subspace iteration method. By comparing responses of structures of various sizes of module unit, the effect of unit size is also investigated.

In this paper, to satisfy the safety and economy immediately, we assume the center of lateral load in case the dynamic motion of the torsionally unbalanced structure is transformed into the static lateral load using modal analysis and proposes a method to control the design eccentricity in order to make the center of lateral load coincide with the center of strength. And when the structure is designed by proposed method, it is shown that the structure designed by proposed method does not demand excessive additional ductility in comparison with the structure designed by provisions of other seismic building code.

컴퓨터 보급의 확산과 인터넷 사용자의 증가로 인하여, 다양한 기능을 요구하는 네트워크 환경에서, 클라이언트가 문서나 데이터 파일 등 각종 자료의 공유를 제공하는 서버를 가장 짧은 시간에 최상의 조건하에서 접근할 필요성이 있게 되었다. 적절한 서버 선택의 기준이나 과정으로 정적인 방법과 동적인 방법이 있다. 일반적으로 동적인 방법은 정적인 방법보다 더 뛰어난 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 동적인 방법은 선택할 서버가 많이 존재하는 경우, 서버 선정으로 인한 소요시간이 증가되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 서버 선정에 필요한 대상자 수를 줄이는 방법으로서 ISP별, 지역별로 서버들에 대한 응답시간, 패킷의 손실율, hop 수의 상호관계를 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과 지리학적인 거리보다는 사용자 호스트가 속한 ISP에 속하는 서버들을 대상으로 동적인 서버 선정 방법을 적용하는 것이 보다 효율적인 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다.
