It is generalized to measure the arch settlement and convergence during tunnel construction for monitoring its mechanical stability. The initial convergence rate a day is defined from the first convergence measurement and the final convergence defined as the convergence measured lastly. The initial and the final tunnel arch settlement are defined like the preceding convergence. In the study, the relations between the initial and final displacements of a shallow tunnel are analyzed. The measurements were performed in the tunnel of subway 906 construction site in Seoul. The overburden is 10-20 m and the tunnel goes through weathered soil/rock. The width and height of the tunnel are about 11.5 m, 10m, respectively. So this is a shallow tunnel in weak rock. The length of tunnel is about 1,820 m and the tunnel was constructed in 2 stages, dividing upper and lower half. The numbers of measurement locations of arch settlement and convergence are 184 and 258, respectively. As a result, the initial displacement rate and the final displacement are comparatively larger in the section of weathered soil.

터널의 초기 변형결과를 역해석에 적용하기 위하여 초기 값들과 최종변위의 상관관계를 연구하였다 Panet의 지수함수와 분수함수는 경암 터널의 내공변위 예측에 잘 맞았다. ID지점의 초기 계측변위는 선형적으로 적합시킬 수 있으나 계측 전 변형의 추정식으로는 부적합하였다. 초기 계측 결과들과 최종 변형결과는 선형적인 비례관계를 보였으며 이로써 초기 계측결과로부터 추정한 최종변형치를 이용한 역해석이 가능함을 보였다.

The extended tangent stiffness matrices and force-deformation relations of the elastic catenary element were initially derived through the addition of the unstrained length of cables to unknown nodal displacements. A beam-column element was then introduced to model the deck and pylon of cable-stayed bridges. The conventional geometric nonlinear analysis, initial force method, and TCUD method were summarized, with an effective method combining two methods presented to determine the initial shapes of cable-stayed bridges with dead loads. In this combined method, TCUD method was applied to eliminate vertical and horizontal displacements at cable-supported points of decks and on top of pylons, respectively. The initial force method was also adopted to eliminate horizontal and vertical displacements of decks and pylons, Finally, the accuracy and validity of the proposed combined method were demonstrated through numerical examples.

To use the early measured data of tunnel deformation in but analysis, the relationship between these values find final deformation data were studied. Panet\`s exponential and fraction equations successfully approximate the convergence of the hard rock tunnels. Measured deformation data of ID location, $U_{1D}$ show that they can be lilted to linear equations but should not be used to estimate potential deformation before measurement, $C_{0}$. Early measured data $U_{1D}$ $U_{2D}$ , and final deformation $ U_{L}$ showed linear correlations. It proved that estimated data of final deformation from early measured ones can be used as input parameters for back analysis.

Drift design is one of the core techniques in the structural design of high-rise buildings and resizing technique is regarded as a practical drift design method for high-rise buildings. In the resizing technique, the structural weight is re-distributed to minimize the target displacement without a change in structural weights. However, the structural weight determined from resizing algorithm is bound to the structural weight based on the preliminary design. Therefore, in this paper, a drift design method that can control the weight of the structure without causing drift control performance to deteriorate is proposed by incorporating the weight control factor in the formulation of resizing algorithm. The proposed drift design method is applied to the drift design of two frame-shear wall systems. The proposed drift design method, in this study, makes it possible to control both the drift and weight of a high-rise building.

In this paper, an analysis method that considers the initial static displacement of structural members using an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system is presented. Newmark's dynamic analysis algorithm was improved to consider the effect of the initial static displacements of structural members. The effect of the initial static displacement on the maximum response according to the assumed duration of the blast load and natural period of the member was investigated. The effects of positive and negative static displacements on the maximum dynamic responses of structural members subjected to a positively applied blast load were also studied. Modified response charts for the shock-type and pressure-type waves are presented so that static displacements can easily be considered. Using a design example, we demonstrate the significance of the modified response chart that considers the static displacement. Based on the results of this study, the maximum response of a the structural member can be easily obtained whilst considering its initial static displacement. The modified response chart presented in this study can be used for the structural design of plants and military facilities.

Deformation behaviour of rock mass around an opening measured during tunnel excavation is very important in order to assess the stability of the tunnel. Unfortunately displacement measured only after the installation of displacement measuring device can be acquired, which results in inevitably excluding the pre-displacement occurred and accumulated before the displacement measuring devices are installed. So it is very important to consider the pre-displacement based on the elapsed time before zero reading after deformation behaviour started. In this study, the accuracy of total estimated displacement depending on the distance between face and measurement position is calculated by statistical non-linear fitting on measurable displacement data. Besides, the influence of the unavoidable measurement error is considered by using Monte-Carlo simulation. As a result, the faster the initial reading started and the smaller the measurement error is, the higher the accuracy of estimating total displacement is obtained.

It is important to forecast the final deformation of a tunnel during construction for evaluating its mechanical stability. In this study, the final deformation of a tunnel is forecasted by fitting tunnel deformations measured while excavating to a displacement function and exterpolating it. The tunnel for the study was built in two stages divided into an upper and a lower part. During the lower part construction of the tunnel, the displacement function forecasts the final incremental displacement well compared to the increment measured after completion of the tunnel. It is because the critical initial displacement occurred on passing the measurement pins can be adequately measured during excavating the lower part, which can not be measured during the upper part excavation of the tunnel.

본 논문에서는 측정된 가속도신호만을 사용하여 변위응답을 추정하는 시간영역과 주파수영역에서의 동적 응답변환 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 본 알고리즘에서 사용되는 변환변위응답은 속도와 변위성분의 초기조건에 대한 정보 없이 측정된 가속도신호의 적분에 의하여 계산되며 실제 변위응답과 상관관계를 갖는다. 이에 측정된 구조물의 동적응답이 무재하부분과 자유진동부분을 포함하고 있을 때 변환응답을 보정하여 초기치 문제를 해결할 수 방법을 제시함으로써 가속도신호만을 사용하여 실제 변위응답을 추정할 수 있도록 하였다. 제시된 응답변환 알고리즘의 타당성을 평가하기위해 실교량에 대한 현장시험자료를 적용하여 변위응답을 추정하고 실측된 동적 변위와 비교하였다. 또한, 주파수영역에서의 응답변환에서 적분구간을 상이하게 사용함으로써 동적성분과 정적성분으로 분리된 추정응답을 평가할 수 있었으며 이에 따른 충격계수의 계산은 신뢰성 있는 평가방법임을 확인하였다.
