In construction site, there are some occasions where concrete under initial curing is being affected by nitration from nearby vibration sources. To study these effects, in this paper, strength characteristics of concrete specimens subjected to continuous vibration up to 12 hours in vertical direction after concrete placement were observed. And through the vibration time control experiment where a number of time combinations consisted of times before and after applying vibration during initial curing period were used as experimental parameters, possibility of concrete strength improvement was investigated. From the experimental results, it could be seen that the concrete strengths were mostly decreased due to the increase of vibration velocity during initial curing period. But fluctuation ratio of concrete strength did not have any close correlations with the vibration times. And results of vibration time control experiment showed that if times before applying vibration sustains at least more than 3 hours, subsequent vibrations after that hours do not affect the concrete strength in any unfavorable ways.

As time passes, bridge structures require extension work on bridge in use from various effects such as social economical, or traffic environment change. When the concrete is poured at the connection of extension work initial curing concrete is influenced by vibration of vehicles that are passing through the old bridge superstructure. Concrete at early curing stage in construction site should be properly protected, enough to have established sufficient integrity to withstand outside vibration, impact etc. Currently there is no standard specification or regulation in our country. In this paper, experimental variables were divided by vibration velocity and time of loading, and concrete compressive strength and bond strength were measured.

최근 들어 교통난 해소를 위한 도로확폭 공사나 파일항타 및 발파 등의 공사가 많이 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 경우 진동의 영향으로 콘크리트의 품질 저하에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 진동과 굳지 않은 콘크리트에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 실험변수를 진동속도, 진동발생점등으로 나누어, 콘크리트의 압축강도, 부착강도를 측정하였다. 또한 응결시간을 측정하여 외부 진동용인이 응력에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 진동속도는 0.25cm/sec ~4.2cm/sec까지 변화시켰고, 진동가력시점은 타설 직후(0시간)부터 타설 후 2, 4, 6, 12 시간 후 에 진동을 가하였다. 본 연구의 실험 결과 진동속도 0.25cm/sec 에서는 압축 강도와 부착강도가 증가하는 반면에 진동속도 0.5cm/sec 이상에서는 압축강도는 5~12% 정도 감소하고 부착강도도 이와 유사하게 감소하는 것으로나타나고 있다. 응결시간은 0.25cm/sec의 작은 진동에서는 영향이 거의 없으나 0.5cm/sec 이상에서는 타설 직후의 진동시 응결시간이 다소 빨라지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, 양생초기 콘크리트의 진동 허용치는 약 0.3~0.4cm/sec 로 나타나고 있으며, 이것은 앞으로 실제 구조물의 시공시 진동규제치로서 하나의 유용한 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study is conducted to find out the effect of vibration on cure and compressive strength of lightweight Air Trapped Soil(ATS). If ATS is used next to a structure existed, the effect of vibration problems may be occurred, because there exist many sources of vibration such as pile driving, blasting and use of construction machinery. For example, if a road is expanded to reduce traffic congestion, it is expected that ATS's quality may be decreased due to vibration generated by cars moving on the road. Especially, because ATS has many air bubbles and needs a time for curing, the effect of vibration is more serious than we expected. So far, the effect of vibration on concrete has been conducted, but the study of ATS has not been conducted in detail. Therefore, for evaluating the effect of vibration on ATS during cure proceeds, unconfined compression tests are conducted on the samples prepared with different variables including vibration velocity, time when vibrated and mixing ratio. The results clearly show the effect of vibration on the characteristics of ATS.

In centralized control system, complicated control systems including sensors, power supply and dampers should be required to satisfy the target response of large-scale structures. The practical applications of the centralized control system, however, is very difficult due to high order finite element model of structures, uncertainty of models, and limitations of the excitation system. In this study, the decentralized response-dependent MR damper of which magnetic field is automatically modulated according to the displacement or velocity transferred to the damper without any sensing and computing systems. this decentralized response-dependent MR damper are investigated according to the ranges of relative magnitude between the control force of MR damper and the story shear force of structures by nonlinear time history analysis. Finally, its performance is compared with centralized LQR algorithm which is used in general centralized control theory for a three story building structure.

The purpose of this paper is to analytically find the approximate supplement damping ratio of the viscous damper installed in self-centering (SC) single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems with maximum displacements that are similar to those of elasto-plastic (EP) SDOF systems. The behavior of an SC SDOF system under harmonic cyclic loading was first described. Then an analytical model that can capture the behavior of the viscously damped SC SDOF system was introduced. Analysis parameters that characterize the hysteresis of the EP and SC SDOF systems were chosen, and nonlinear time-history analyses were performed using 20 historical accelerograms. Most of the SC SDOF systems with viscous dampers with approximately 10-15% damping ratios presented mean maximum displacement values that were similar to those of the EP SDOF systems. To investigate in detail the seismic performance of both systems, three EP SDOF systems and six corresponding SC SDOF systems were selected. The analyses showed that all the SC SDOF systems eliminated the residual displacements after the end of their shaking, and that the SC SDOF systems with 15% damping ratios performed better than the EP SDOF systems in terms of maximum displacement and acceleration response.
