The suppression of residual settlement is required on earthwork sections as concrete track is introduced. Use of pile-slab structure is one of the settlement restraining methods applied on soft ground. The slab distributes the upper embankment load and piles transfer the load from the slab to the stiff ground. While this method is very effective in terms of load transfer, it has not yet been established for dealing with the vibration transfer effects and interaction characteristics between a structure and the ground. It is possible that vibration caused by a moving train load is propagated in the upper embankment, because the slab acts as a reflection layer and waves are multi-reflected. In this present paper, wave propagation generated by a moving train load is evaluated in the time and frequency domains to consider a roadbed structure using an artificial impact load and field measured train load. The results confirmed the wave reflection effect on the pile-slab structure, if the embankment height is sufficient, vibration propagation can be stably restrained, whereas if the height is not sufficient, the vibration amplitude is increased.

본 논문에서는 파일형 선박충돌 방호공에 선박이 충돌하였을 때 방호공의 거동을 해석하였다. 방호공의 구조는 상부슬래브, RCP 말뚝 및 이를 지지하는 지반은 비선형 지반스프링으로 모델링 하였다. 상부슬래브 8절점요소로 모델링 하였으며 철근과 콘크리트로 구성되어있다. RCP 말뚝은 철근망과 충진콘크리트로 구성되어있으며 충돌 시 파괴거동을 표현할 수 있는 Damaged Plasticity로 모델을 사용하였고 Shell 요소로 모델링 하였다. 선박충돌 시 선박의 강성에 따른 거동 특성을 파악하기 위해 선박을 강체모델과 실제모델에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 선박과 교량의 충돌은 정면충돌로 고려하였으며, 충돌속도는 3.3m/sec로 가정하였다. 선박과 방호공과의 충돌 해석은 비선형 해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS/Explicit을 이용하여 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 선박 충돌 시 방호공의 에너지 거동을 분석하였다. 해석결과 선박의 강성이 커질수록 슬래브의 변형 및 소산 에너지량이 커지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Curling is caused by the difference in the temperature and humidity by the depth of the slab in Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement. Slab curvature shape and size change due to curling exert a profound influence on the internal stress and roughness of the pavement, affecting structural and functional performance of the pavement. Direct measurement of the slab curvature entails many problems. Many measuring instruments have to be installed at the early-stage of the pavement construction, and the behavior of the slab curvature needs to be measured accurately from the early-stage. Moreover, the cost and technical difficulty are very formidable to measure the slab curvature. This study develops a measurement method for slab curvature in jointed concrete pavement at any given time by applying Power Spectrum Density Analysis and Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation to the profile data, that can be easily obtained at the construction field site. The effectiveness of this developed method is verified by measuring the profile data of the test road of jointed concrete pavement at an inland central expressway by the hour and by examining the result of extracting the slab curvature shape from this profile data. Additionally, the profile data of CRCP(Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement) sections on the same expressway were obtained and analyzed at the same time. The validity of the method developed for the slab curvature shape extraction is verified by comparing the result from the analysis of the profile data of CRCP sections with that from the analysis of the prof1Ie data of jointed concrete pavement sections.

This study verifies the structural capacity of the composite PHC pile (Pretensioned spun high-strength concrete) consisting of a PHC pile and two CT structural steels. Four full-scale specimens are fabricated and the experimental tests were performed to investigate the flexural behaviors of the composite PHC piles. The composite PHC pile can enhance both the structural capacity and functional convenience, since the web of CT structural steel with holes in the web acts as a shear connector (referred to as the perfobond rib), which can connect concrete and steel. All specimens exhibited flexural failure and the ultimate strengths were larger than the anticipated design strength according to the design standard. Thus, the composite PHC pile can be applicable to wall structures with sufficient strength. In addition, it seems that the web of the CT structural steel with holes performs its role as shear connectors.

In this study, a simplified collision model of pile protective structures against a navigation vessel was proposed and verified. The model of pile protective structure were composed by two plastic hinges at below of cap slab and the inside of ground. A nonlinear equation of motions was developed in consideration of the kinematic energy, potential energy and deformation energy in collision event. The developed simplified model were verified by the precise finite element collision analysis of the vessel and the protective structure.

The purpose of this study is to improve the interoperability of IFC for the basic data such as the size of member section, length, thickness, reference location, and eccentricity of the structural members. For this, the method to represent the basic data of structural member is proposed. In the proposed method, the most important criteria is the way that engineers recognize and treat the basic data of structural members. Then, in this study, an IFC file is generated based on the proposed method for a simple RC building composed of members and it is examined that the correct basic data can be derived from the IFC file in the way that engineers do in practice. From the results of the examination, the proposed method is expected to improve the interoperability of IFC for the basic data.

The objective of this study is to propose an automated algorithm for precise cutting length of slab rebar complying with regulations such as anchorage length, standard hooks, and lapping length. This algorithm aims to improve the traditional manual quantity take-off process typically outsourced by external contractors. By providing accurate rebar quantity data at BBS(Bar Bending Schedule) level from the bidding phase, uncertainty in quantity take-off can be eliminated and reliance on out-sourcing reduced. In addition, the algorithm allows for early determination of precise quantities, enabling construction firms to preapre competitive and optimized bids, leading to increased profit margins during contract negotiations. The proposed algorithm not only streamlines redundant tasks across various processes, including estimating, budgeting, and BBS generation but also offers flexibility in handling post-contract structural drawing changes. In particular, the proposed algorithm, when combined with BIM, can solve the technical problems of using BIM in the early phases of construction, and the algorithm's formulas and shape codes that built as REVIT-based family files, can help saving time and manpower.
