The objective of this paper is to evaluate the flexural tensile strength of unreinforced concrete masonry wall to ensure the structural safety in out-of-plane behaviors under the wind or earthquake loads. Flexural tensile strength of unreinforced concrete masonry wall has been obtained from the full scale tests of total 327 specimens and the statistical analysis are performed for each of the cases. The flexural tensile strength derived from experiments is classified as 13 groups according to masorny units, mortar ingredients, and the direction of tensile stresses and the mean tensile strength and the variable coefficient are obtained for each case. The uniform and concentrated transverse loads have been applied over the face of the wall specimens. The ultimate mean flexural tensile strengths are distributed from 1,564 kPa to 363 kPa according to masonry units, mortar ingredients, and other factors. The allowable flexural tension stress criteria will be established based on the mean flexural tensile strengths in the future.

In this study, a seismic performance evaluation of unreinforced masonry buildings was conducted based on a revised draft of the outline of the seismic performance evaluation of existing buildings. The procedure of the performance evaluation is composed of three-steps, which are a preliminary evaluation, a first-level detailed evaluation, and a second-level detailed evaluation, where evaluation is conservatively conducted in the beginning and then more detailed evaluations are gradually conducted. For the study, ten two-story unreinforced masonry buildings were selected and evaluated using the three-step evaluation. The result showed that the performance levels between the preliminary and the first-level detailed evaluations were reversed, which is different from the intent of the procedure. Therefore, in the near future, the problems in each evaluation step that are presented in the results of this study need to be refined.

Because of the gravitation of population toward large cities, a number of masonry buildings have been constructed since 1960. They have been rapidly deteriorated as time passed by. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to present basic data on timeworn masonry buildings which have been managed by metropolitan government and to analyse their deterioration factors. And then, the results of this paper can be used to establish the policy of managing timeworn masonry buildings. According to this study, the crack of masonry wall is the most effective deterioration factor and timeworn masonry buildings have a problem with foundation. The structure grade have an interrelation with occupancy type more than building age. Also, the longer building age becomes, the sooner deterioration speeds. A timeworn masonry building is in urgent need of reinforcement on a thirty-year period of building age.

Military facilities with masonry have a great portion in the whole military facilities. But lots of them have been used for more than 20 years, the degree of deterioration of the facilities are serious. Futhermore, as insufficient budget for the facilities maintenance and poor maintenance, the performance of the aged masonry facilities have continually decreased. We suggest a structural performance assessment criteria for the military facility through literature review, interview with experts and questionnaire. The major assessment factors for the structural performance include the inclining and sinking degree of the facilities, durability of materials and resisting force of the structural members.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a seismic behavior of unreinforced masonry(URM) structure. For more efficient evaluation, quasi-dynamic analysis method is used in this study. The influence of soil-structure interaction on the seismic response of low rise structures is discussed through comparison of the computed seismic response for the structure on rigid or dense soil and that on soft soil. The results of analytical study show that the story shear forces and the base shear forces could increase on soft soil. Furthermore, it was observed that an approximate expressions prescribed in current seismic codes may underestimate the value of the base shear force of low rise buildings on soft soil.

Unlike homogeneous material structure, the behavior of masonry structure is not perfectly elastic even in the range of small deformations because it is a non-homogeneous and anisotropic composite structural material, consisting of masonry units, mortar, and grout. This paper proposes a simplified way of investigating the evolution of the deformation and damage of the structure subjected to a series of successive ground motions with varying shaking. Especially, the most simple but useful algorithm of Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) has been adopted to investigate the evolution of the deformation and damage of the structure tested on the shaking table. Moreover, the development of a hi-linear curve for an equivalent SDOF system which is obtained by exploiting the frequency and stiffness relationship was discussed. Finally, some important findings related to inelastic properties of the URM are summarized.

본 연구에서는 비보강 조적조에 대한 부재 비선형거동 및 비탄성힌지 속성을 고려할 수 있는 midas GEN Ver.741(해외판) 프로그램에 의한 비보강 조적벽체의 푸쉬오버 해석결과와 실험결과와의 비교를 통하여 비보강 조적조 건축물의 전단강도평가를 비롯하여 내진성능평가를 위한 역량스펙트럼 해석 프로그램을 검증하고자 한다. midas GEN Ver.741(해외판) 프로그램의 사용성 검증을 위하여 조적벽체의 축하중, 형상비, 쌓기방법(두께) 그리고 개구부 유무를 변수로 한 10개의 비보강 조적벽체의 전단강도를 비교 평가한다. 비보강 조적벽체에 대한 실험결과와 해석결과를 비교한 결과 각 시험체별 전단강도 값이 비교적 유사한 것으로 나타나며 국내 기존 비보강 조적조 건축물에 대한 해석방법으로 본 프로그램의 사용이 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.

In Seoul, more than 80 percent of residential buildings are constructed with unreinforced masonry(URM) buildings in early 1970 to 1990. In general, URM buildings have the advantages of reducing the construction time and easy to construction. However, URM buildings do not have enough strength against the lateral force. Moreover, low rise buildings have not adopted seismic designs, and for that reason a critical damage is expected with an earthquake. And also, the necessity of the seismic performance evaluation of existing building structures is raised through the Taiwan earthquake in 1999. The purpose of this study is to provide basic information for unreinforced masonry building in Korea by application of the proposed seismic evaluation method. In this study, seismic capacities of 50 existing unreinforced masonry buildings are evaluated based on the proposed method. Also, relationships of seismic capacities between Korean earthquake damage ratios of korean unreinforced masonry buildings are estimated. Results of this study were as follows; 1)Seismic retrofit was needed $8{\sim}48%$ in Korean unreinforced masonry buildings. 2)Korean unreinforced masonry buildings were expected to have severe damage under the earthquake intensity level experienced in Japan.

적조란 유해조류의 일시적인 대 번식으로 바다를 적색으로 변화시키며 연안 환경 및 바다 생태계에 악영향뿐만 아니라 양식장의 어패류를 집단 폐사 시키는 현상이다. 적조에 의한 양식어업의 피해는 매년 발생하고 있으며 매년 적조방제에 많은 비용을 소비하고 있다. 이 때문에 적조 발생을 미리 예측할 수 있으면 적조에 대한 피해 및 방재 비용을 최소화 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문은 앙상블 학습은 이용한 적조발생 예측 방법을 제안한다. 제안방법은 앙상블 학습의 bagging과 boosting 방법을 이용하여서 적조를 예측의 성능을 향상시킨다. 실험결과 제안방법은 단일 분류기에 비하여서 더 좋은 적조 발생 예측 성능을 보였다.
