A model test for assessment of towing stability and seakeeping of a multi-purpose mobile base (MMB) was performed in calm water and wave conditions. Scale ratio of the MMB was 1/48. Tension of the towing line was measured during tests to estimate effective power to tow the full scale MMB. The tests were repeated with towing speed. In addition, an inertial measurement unit was used to measure six DOF motion of the model. Seakeeping performance was assessed through the captive model test.

In congested urban areas, constructions of tunnel structures have became necessary due to a lack of surface space. The excavation of any tunnel generated the ground disturbances of surrounding ground and displacements is major concern. Therefore, a study of tunnel stability is necessary. In this study, the authors have investigated the stability and failure pattern of tunnel through the model tunnel test. In this study, the close range photogrammetry was used to measure the ground deformation. The measured data was converted to displacement vectors and contours. And then it compared to FE analysis and empirical formula. In addition, this study presented the comparison between steel pipe reinforced model tunnel and unreinforced model tunnel. The ground deformation for both the steel pipe reinforced model tunnel and the unreinforced model tunnel was analysed.

Recently, precast PSC girder bridges have been widely applied for short and middle span bridges. The construction of the spliced girder bridges has been increasing to overcome the length limit of girder and transportation restrictions. In case of the spliced girder, the integrity of the segmental joints is very important to secure the structural soundness of bridge because the discontinuity on the segmental joints between adjacent segments could be vulnerable point. The study of segmental joint behavior with different influence factors of joint type, shear key installation, confining force is very important. In this research, finite element analysis and scaled model test with different shear key shapes and confining forces were carried out and the comparative study was performed to evaluate the segmental joint behavior of precast spliced PSC girder bridge. It was confirmed that the installation of shear key with height and depth ratio of 1/2~1/3 and applying of confining force of 1/2 of the concrete strength at the joint was effective in improving the integrity of segmental joint. In addition, the field loading test for existed precast spliced PSC girder bridge was performed and the measurement of the difference of deflection between adjacent segments at segmental joint was proposed as the assessment solution of the integrity of segmental joint.

This paper presents the application technique on thrust jacking pressuring of shield TBM in the sharp curved tunnel alignment by model tests. Recently, the application of shield TBM method as mechanized tunnelling is increasing to prevent the vibration and noise problems, which can be occurred in the NATM in the urban area in Korea. However, it is necessary to plan the sharp curved tunnel alignment in order to avoid the building foundation and underground structures, to develop the shield TBM operation technique in the shape curved tunnel alignment. Therefore, the main operation parameters of shield TBM in the curved tunnel alignment are reviewed and analyzed based on the case study and analytical study. The results show that the operation of shield jacking force system is the most important technique in the shape curved tunnel alignment. The simplified scaled model tests are also carried out in order to examine the ground-shield TBM head behaviour. The earth pressures acting on the head of shield TBM are investigated according to two different shield jacking force systems (uniform and un-uniform pressure) and several articulation angles. The results obtained from the model tests are analysed. These results will be very useful to understand the shield TBM head interaction behaviour due to the shield jacking operation technique in the shape curved tunnel alignment, and to develop the operation technique.

This paper concerns the effect of lining interface adherence on the lining's load carrying capacity. A series of reduced scale laboratory tests and finite element anlayses were carried out with the aim of gaining insight into the effect of shotcrete lining adherence on the load carrying capacity of double shell lining. The results indicated among other things that the load carrying capacity of a double shell tunnel is significantly affected by the adherence between layers. Also revealed was that for cases with low lining layer adherence stress concentration may occur due to relative movement between the lining layers with this trend being more pronounced with increasing tunnel cover depth. Practical implications from the results of this study are discussed in great detail.

소일네일링 구조물의 설계 및 안정해석에 관한 지금까지의 연구는 대부분 굴착 배면지반의 자중만을 고려하여 연구 개발된 굴착사면에 인접하여 하중이 재하되는 경우, 그의 거동에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 원심모형시험기를 사용하여 하중재하시 소일네일링 구조물의 거동과 파괴 메카니즘에 관한 매개변수적 실험을 실시하였다. 매개변수적 실험에서는 네일의 길이 및 간격, 네일의 설치각, 하중재하위치 등을 다양하게 변화시키면서 1g 상태에서 축소모형실험을 실시하는 한편, 30g 및 50g까지 중력수준을 증가시킨 상태에서 상재하중실험을 실시하였다. 실험으로부터 얻어진 결과를 바탕으로 하중-침하 특성, 매개변수의 변화에 따른 영향, 중력수준의 증가에 따른 영향, 파괴메카니즘 등을 비교 분석하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to study on the effect of cutting off tension bars in reinforced concrete beams. that is, the ultimate strength, the failure mode and thl} tension stress distribution through the span. To achieve this purpose, a full-scale frame and seven small scale model beams (five rectangular and two T-section beams) were tested. The four main model specimens and two speciml}ns without cutting off tension bars 1,'{ere analyzed as plane stmss element with package program ADINA. As a result of test and analysis, the shorter' distance bet ween the reaction point and the cutting off point, the higher the ultimate strength of a bl}am will be when other physical properties are equal.

Plugging effect of open-ended pipe piles is known to have a close relationship with the ratio of an embedment depth to a pile diameter, i.e., the relative embedment ratio. To evaluate this relationship in the concrete, load tests are performed on the open and the close ended model piles varying the relative embedment ratio as well as the relative density of the model test ground. Cross-shaped hollow plates are attached at the open pile ends to reduce the effective pile diameters, on which load tests are also performed. As a result, it is confirmed that higher plugging effect may be obtained in the denser ground at lower relative embedment. However, 100% plugging effect can be obtained at the relative embedment ratio of 25 or bigger regardless of the density of the ground. Increment of the plugging effect by introducing the cross-shaped attachment can hardly be achieved.

Inflating characteristics of the parachute canopies have been experimentally investigated with the objective of measuring the parachute opening parameters such as canopy filling time and the peak opening force using scaled parachute models. A device has been made and tested to eject a model parachute into a wind tunnel flow and to measure the drag force acting on it. The force-time histories and the peak opening force are obtained, and these comparative aerodynamic characteristics were analyzed and discussed, including the effect of forebody wake. The opening of the ringslot parachute model appeared to be faster than that of the available similar data by about 10~40%, and fair to good agreement was obtained for the reefed ribbon parachute.
