In this study, track dynamic interaction characteristics caused by the vehicle running through transitional section such as bridge abutments were studied using the finite element analysis program. The geometric condition of track was generated by trigonometric function and allowable maximum track irregularity is determined by KORAIL track maintenance criteria. The sub-infrastructure under rail fastener system was modelled by 3D solid elements. To reduce computational cost only half track line is numerically considered and the roller boundary condition was applied to each side of model. In this study, the vehicle-track dynamic interaction analysis was carried out for standard Korean transition section of concrete track and the dynamic behaviors were investigated. The dynamic characteristics considered are wheel load variation, vertical acceleration at body, and maximum Mises stress at each part of transitional section.

This paper presents two new extensions to the DDA method. The extensions consist of sequential loading or unloading and rock reinforcement by rockbolts, shotcrete or concrete lining. Examples of application of the DDA method with the new extensions are presented. Simulations of the underground excavation of the Unju Tunnel of Kyungbu High Speed Railway Project in Korea were carried out to evaluate the influence of excavation sequence and reinforcement on the tunnel stability. The results of the present study indicate that improper selection of excavation sequence could have a destabilizing effect on the tunnel stability. On the other hand, reinforcement by rockbolts and shotcrete can stabilize the tunnel. It is found that, in general, the DDA program with the three new extensions can now be used as d practical tool in the design of underground structures. In particular, phases of construction (excavation, reinforcement) can now be simulated more realistically.

Box culvert has long since been used for various purposes , water and sewerage works, communication and electricity facilities, subway, railway, etc. In urban area, the construetion of box culvert generally consists of excavation-installation of the culvert-backfill. However, the existing design methods for earth pressure on the box culvert do not take into account the excavation(or backfill) geometry. ' A new method considering excavation geometry for earth pressure on box culvert is suggested here. The lateral earth pressures by the newly suggested method agree relatively with results of finite element analyses, but those of existing method are greatly overestimated. The vertical pressure on the top of the box culvert by the new method is similar to those of existing method and finite element analysis. However, the reactional pressure on the bottom of the box culvert depends largely upon the stiffness of the foundation soil. The reactional pressure by the new method agrees well with that of finite element analysis, only when the stiffness is low. From the finite element analysis it is shown that the lateral earth pressure on box culvert depends upon the excavated slope (G) and the net bottom distance (Bc).

This study aims to numerically investigate ground movement around a square steel pipe as well as a group of square steel pipes induced by its and their ground penetration for trenchless construction of a concrete box. From numerical results, ground movement induced by a square steel pipe is much more dominantly governed by vertical displacement rather than horizontal displacement. Ground settlement induced by pipe penetration is much larger as the overburden becomes lower. The settlement is also shown to be slightly dependent upon the sequence of pipe penetration. More careful construction management is highly in demand during the penetration of upper pipes since their induced settlement occupies approximately 75 percent of total ground settlement after the whole construction of steel pipes.

To reduce noise inside an elevated railroad station, the vibration of the station structure should be lowered, and to establish more effective anti-vibration measures it is required that, reflecting the track-bridge-structure interaction, the transfer characteristics of vibration induced by a train is well identified. In this paper, the current status of domestic railroad stations is classified, and the vibration transfer characteristics is analyzed via measurement data from representative elevated stations. From the analysis results on the measurement data, in transferring vibration from the track to the structure, remarkable vibration reduction in higher frequency range is observed, and, in some stations, amplified response characteristics in lower frequency range is identified. Also, for stations with floating track system or TPS type, relatively greater reduction in transferred vibration is observed.

저항 점 용접은 1930년대에 Thomson에 의해 방법이 제안된 이후로 자동차, 전자, 항공기, 철도산업등에서 박판 금속(sheet metal)의 접합에 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 공정이다. 특히 자동차 차체와 같이 대부분 박판으로 구성되는 구조물에서는 저항 점 용접의 사용 범위가 매우 넓기 때문에 자동차 산업에서는 가장 기본적인 근본 기술 중의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 보통 자동차 한대를 생산하는데 소요되는 저항 점 용접 타점은 3000~4000개 정도로 자동차 차체 용접 공정의 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 또한 로봇과 연동된 자동화 공정으로 적용되고 있다. 최근의 자동차 차체를 구성하는 금속 재료가 자동차의 경량화, 친화경 소재의 사용자의 요구로 인해 새로운 강판이 사용된다. 자동차의 연비 향상을 위해서 다른 방법보다 자동차의 무게를 감소시키는 것이 가장 효율적이고, 쉽기 때문에 고장력 강판의 사용이 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 차제의 부식성, 내마모성 향상을 위해 도금 처리된 강판의 사용도 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 최근에 도장 공정 감소를 위해 도금 처리위에 도료 착색을 용이하게 하는 도료의 일부를 금속 표면에 처리된 강판의 개발도 진행되는 등 금속 소재의 변화가 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 이러한 새로운 강종은 기존의 AC 용접이나 DC 용접으로는 용접성 확보에 어려움을 가지고 있어, 새로운 저항 점 용접 공정의 연구 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 저항 점 용접 공정의 개선을 위해서 인버터 저항 점 용접기에서 용접 공정 중 전류를 제어하기 위한 효율적인 제어기 개발 방법과 개발된 제어기를 바탕으로 용접 중에 용접부의 품질을 예측하여, 용접 전류 및 가압력을 실시간 제어하여 안정적인 용접부의 품질을 갖질 수 있는 지능형 저항 점 용접기의 적응 제어기를 개발하는데 있다.

In case the overburden of a tunnel is too low to adopt NATM, cut and cover method generally can be chosen as alternative. However, in tunneling some area with very low or no overburden between two mountains, the cut and cover method requires additional construction of a couple of tunnel portals and the maintenance of portal slopes until backfilling is completed. As a solution for this problem, increasing the tunnel overburden by raising the ground level can be effective. This paper presents the case study for tunneling at C240 site in Taiwan High Speed Railway(THSR) in which soil-cement filling method was used for pre-banking before tunnel excavation. Cement content of filling material was $2\~4\%$ and thickness of filling a round was $130\~250\;mm$. The stability evaluation for the soil-cement slope and concrete lining of low cover tunnel was conducted by numerical analysis.

기후변화는 기상재해뿐만 아니라 지속적인 해수면 상승의 원인이 되고 있으며, 자연 생태계화 인간의 사회, 경제시스템 전반에 걸쳐 영향을 미치고 있으며, 건설분야도 이와 무관하지 않다. 특히 기후변화는 해수면 상승으로 이어져 사회기반시설인 항구, 연안도로, 철도, 빌딩 등과 연안산업인 석유 및 석유화학공장, 그리고 서비스업인 관광에 대한 위협으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 해수면 상승은 토지 및 건물의 재산 가치 하락과 해수면 상승에 따른 보호비용 증대, 구조물의 급속한 노후화에 따른 유지관리비용의 증가뿐만 아니라 정치적 제도적 불안 및 사회동요 등을 유발할 수 있다. 우리나라의 경우, 지난 100년간 6대 도시 평균기온이 약 $1.5^{\circ}C$ 상승하였으며, 해수면(제주기준)은 40년간 22cm가 상승하였다. 특히 제주의 경우 매년 5mm씩의 해수면 상승을 보이고 있으며 이는 전 지구 해수면 상승률보다 3배 높은 수치이다. 본 연구는 해수면의 상승에 따른 건설분야의 영향을 분석하기 위한 선도적인 연구로서, 연구의 범위를 제주지역에 국한하였으며, 해수면 상승에 따른 영향 지역을 추출하고, 영향 지역 내 건설시설물 정보를 추출하기 위한 절차를 규명하였다. 본 연구 결과는 유지보수 및 시설물 이설에 따른 공사비 산출의 근거가 될 뿐만 아니라 관련 예산 확보에 대한 근거 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 향후 관련 지역의 유지보수 및 이설 공사비 정보의 추출 및 DB 구축을 통해 연안 건설 시설물의 이설에 따른 공사비를 예측할 수 있을 것이다.

The precast production has many advantages by fast construction period, labor-saving and high quality. In recent years, the application of the precast product has been increased in the earth retaining wall field. This paper presents the results of the numerical analysis that was carried out to evaluate the dynamic stability of precast and prestressed earth retaining wall under moving train load. The two-dimensional FEM analysis was used to the numerical analyses. The train load to act on trackbed is combined by the real measured roughness phase angle and quasi-static load. The dynamic stability is analysed by the displacement, acceleration and stress under moving train load at each specified location. The results of the analysis show that the precast and prestressed retaining wall has very stable capability for the railway.

Because of urbanization, Industrialization and expansion of transportation network, blasting works are recently increasing in construction field. The blasting work influences environmental effects to residents and the safety of facilities around the working place, so the development of blasting technology is needed to reduce the damage to residents. The blasting mechanism in the hole was studied and tested in the blasting sites by the difference of diameter between explosives and drilling hole, which is named by the decoupling effect. This effect was tested by changing the medium between explosives and hole wall in three working sites(railway, highway and industrial complex). The vibration velocity of blasting was recorded and vibration equations were produced by regression analyses. Finally, the structure separation distance was derived using these equations. The testing results show that the specific gravity of medium is larger, the separation distance is smaller and the duration time of blasting is shorter in case of large specific gravity of medium, so the vibration effect stops more fastly in the water compared with the air.
