In designing the coastal structures, the accurate estimation of wave forces on them is very important. Recently, the empirical formulae such as Goda formula are widely used to estimate wave forces, as well as 2-D hydraulic and numerical model tests. But, sometimes, these estimation methods mentioned above seem to be unreasonable to predict 3-D structure of wave pressure on the coastal structures with 3-D plane arrangement in the real coastal area. Especially, in case of consideration of phase difference at harbor and seaward sides of the large-sized coastal structures like a composite breakwater, it is easily expected that the real wave pressures on each section of coastal structure have 3-D distribution. A new numerical model of 3-D Large Eddy Simulation, which is applicable to permeable structure, is developed to clarify the 3-D structure of wave pressures acting on coastal structure. The calculated wave forces on 3-D structure installed on the submerged breakwater show in good agreement with the measured values. In this study, the composite breakwater is adopted as a representative structure among the large-sized coastal structures and the 3-D structure of wave pressures on it is discussed in relation to the phase difference at harbor and seaward sides of it due to wave diffraction and transmitted wave through rubble mound.

Three-dimensional analyses of multistory structures with wings using finite element models require tedious input data preparation, longer computation time. and larger computer memory. So this study lays emphasis on the development of efficient analysis models for a three-dimensional multistory structure with wings, including in-plane deformation of floor slabs. Since a three-dimensional multistory structure with wings is regarded as a combination of wing structures and their junction in this study, the proposed analysis models are easily applicable to multistory structures with plans in the shape of letters Y, U, H, etc. Dynamic analyses results obtained using proposed models are in excellent agreement to those acquired using three-dimensional finite element models in terms of natural vibration periods, mode shapes and displacement time history.

콘크리트구조물은 비교적 경제적인 시공이 가능하며 구조물의 수명 또한 안정적인 관계로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 최근 콘크리트의 고강도화 및 설계의 최적화에 따른 부재단면의 최소화 경향, 새로운 공법의 적용 등에 따른 균열문제가 빈번하게 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 특히 다양한 토목구조물중 매스콘크리트구조물, 벽체구조물 등과 같은 종류에서의 균열문제가 자주 언급되고 있으며, 균열에 따른 심리적 불안감과 콘크리트 내구성의 저하, 궁극적으로는 구조물의 안전성에 대한 불안심리를 가증 시키고 있다.(중략)

Wall displacements caused by earth pressure, rainfalls, rise in ground water level, inappropriate deep excavation and structural defects of the wall may produce differential settlements to existing buildings, which often result in damages and/or collapses of the building structures. In this case, measures to protect the walls and nearby structures would be required. One of the recent measures to reduce differential settlements and protecting walls is to reinforce the ground using micro-piles. In this study physical model tests were carried out to evaluate the performance of the micro-pile method. It is revealed that reduction of the settlement was maximized when the length of micro-pile is twice of the foundation width, distance between piles is twice of the pile diameter and the distance to wall is one tenth of the foundation width. Based on the test results some design recommendations were made.

This paper deals with the adjoint variable method in design sensitivity analysis that is essential to the structure optimization. The method is shown to be much simpler than the conventional method in structure optimization by applying it to the optimal design of finite dimensional structures. Design sensitivity analyses and their numerical solutions for the principal constraints, i.e., displacement and stress constraints under static loads are obtained. Furthermore, it is proved that optimization can be carried out efficiently by applying the optimization algorithm. Structure optimization problems of minimizing the volumes of the truss structures(finite dimensional structures) under the appropriate boundary conditions, loading conditions and constraints are considered.

In this study, the stability of the low crested structure armoured by Tripod block has been investigated using two-dimensional hydraulic model tests. The effect of wave steepness and freeboard on the rock stability on crest, front, and the rear slope has been investigated. From the experimental data, the new empirical formula for the stability coefficients of the Tripod block was proposed. But Tripod is not proper to use the armour block of the low crested structure because the uplift force of this block is greater than that of Tetrapod and rock.

Presented is a study on the establishment of a method of advanced reliability analysis for the realistic analysis and design of reinforced concrete(RC) structures. Considerable variabilities exist in concrete structures due to random nature of concrete materials and member dimensions. The present study analyzes first the uncertainties in concrete, reinforcements and member dimensions and then a method is proposed to determine the probability uncertainties of basic variables. The limit state equations are also proposed for the RC members with axial compression and bending and RC footings. The advanced invariant second-moment method is applied to analyze those structures. The present study provides an important base for realistic reliability analysis of RC structures.
