최근 교량공학자들의 공통관심사는 초대형 구조물을 가설하고, 적절한 유지관리에 의해 기존 구조물의 공용수명을 연장시키는 것 등을 들 수 있다. 고성능 컴퓨터 산업의 발달로 인한 구조해석의 정밀화, 경량골재 및 고강도 재료의 개발, 용접성과 시공법의 발달 및 초대형 크레인과 같은 건설기자재의 개발 등으로 인하여 초대형 구조물의 가설은 외국에서 뿐만 아니라 국내에서도 가능하게 되었다. 그리고 구조물의 공용수명을 연장하기 위해서 최근에는 첨단계측장비와 신호처리기술, 신뢰성이론, 피로파괴이론 및 system identification technique 등의 발달로 인해 비교적 정확하게 교량구조물의 손상부위와 손상정도의 파악이 가능하게 되었다. 그리하여 가까운 시일내에 100년 이상의 공용수명을 갖는 초대형 교량이 출현될 것으로 전망된다. 따라서 교량 공학자들은 앞으로 장대교량의 설계와 시공 및 유지관리의 완전 국산화를 위한 연구에 더욱 박차를 가해야 할 것이다.

This study was performed to estimate fatigue life of polymer-modified and reinforced overlay asphalt mixtures with respect to reflection cracking in asphalt overlay pavement. In order to achieve the goal, the expedited reflection cracking test method was developed and applied to various mixtures and the results were compared one another with respect to the resistant characteristics of reflection cracking. The theoretical prediction equation of fatigue life for each mixture was suggested based on statistical analysis of experimental test results in the flexural failure mode. Since coefficients of correlation between estimated values and measured values were very high ($r^2=0.95$ or higher), the prediction model can be used for relative comparison of various pavement overlay choices to be used in the field.

In this study, the problem formulation and solution technique using genetic algorithms for design optimization of laminate composite cylindrical beam section are presented. The hollow cylindrical beams we usually used in the wheel chair. If the weight of wheel chair is reduced, it will lead to huge improvement in passenger's mobility and comfort. In this context, the replacement of steel by high performance and light weight composite material along with optimal design will be a good contribution in the process of weight reduction of a wheel chair. An artificial genetics approach for the design optimization of hollow cylindrical composite beam is presented. On applying the genetic algorithm, the optimal dimensions of hollow cylindrical composite beams which have equivalent rigidities to those of corresponding hollow cylindrical steel beams are obtained. Also structural analysis is conducted on the entire wheel chair structure incorporating Tsai-Wu failure criteria. The maximum Tsai-Wu failure criteria index is $0.192\times10^{-3}$ which is moth less than value of 1.00 indicating no failure is observed under excessive loading condition. It is found that the substitution of steel by composite material could reduce the weight of wheel chair up to 45%.

반복하중을 받는 무근 및 철근 콘크리트 부재는 하중의 반복작용에 의해 과도한 균열 및 처짐을 유발하고 결과적으로 전체 구조요소의 파괴를 일으킨다. 따라서 하중반복에 의한 누적손상의 진행과정을 정량적으로 평가하여 철근콘크리트 보의 사용성과 안전성을 평가하는 것이 중요하고 특히 취성적 거동 특성을 갖는 전단거동의 경우에 더욱 의미가 있다. 본 연구에서는 반복전단하중에 의한 누적손상의 정량적 분석을 위하여 평균변형도 및 평균응력개념에 기초한 수정압축장이론(modified compression field theory)에 의하여 누적손상 모델을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 모델을 통하여 반복전단하중에 의한 처짐과 변형도의 변화를 평가하는데 유용하게 이용될 것으로 사료된다.

The major objective of this study is to investigate the fatigue damage factor evaluation of immovability crossing for railway turnout by the field test and qualitative analysis. From the field test results of the servicing turnout crossing and qualitative analysis with frictional wear which section stiffness decreased, it was evaluated fatigue life of servicing turnout crossing. Most design practices have not taken advantage of the advanced theories in the modern fracture mechanics and finite element analysis due to complexity of analysis as well as the large quantity of vaguely defined parameters in actual designs. This paper considers fatigue problems in turnout crossing using effective analytical and design tools from the field of qualitative constraint reasoning. A set of software modules was developed for fatigue analysis and evaluation, which is easily applicable in engineering practices of designers. The techniques enable the use complex analysis formulations to tackle practical problems with uncertainties, and present the design outcome in two-dimensional design space solution. Appropriate engineering assumptions and judgments in carrying out these procedures, often the most difficult part for practicing engineers, can be partially produced by using qualitative reasoning to define the trends and ranges, interval constraint analysis to derive the controlling parameters, as well as design space to account for practical experience.

The nonlinear effects on the statistical properties of wave groups in terms of the average nomber of waves in a group and the mean number of waves in a high run is studied in this paper utilizing the complex envelope and total phase function, random variable transformation technique and perturbation method. It tures out that the phase distribution is modified significantly by nonlinearities and it show systematic excess of values near the mean phase and the corresponding symmetrical deficiency on both sides away from the mean. for the case of threshold crossing rate, it turns out that threshold crossing rate reaches its maxima just below the mean water level rather than zero and considerable amount of probability mass is shifted toward the larger values of water surface elevation as nonlinearity is getting profound. Furthermore, the mean waves in a high run associated with nonlinear wave are shown to have larger values than the linear counterpart. Similar trend can also be found in the average number of waves in a group.

용접에 의해 발생하는 용접잔류응력은 강구조물의 피로성능, 파괴양상 등에 영향을 주고 있으나 이러한 용접잔류응력을 예측하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 이러한 용접잔류응력을 예측하는 방법으로는 열탄소성해석과 같은 수치적 방법과 실험적 방법이 있다. 열탄소성해석의 경우 실제문제를 이상화하는 과정에서 매우 복잡한 모델링 기술이 필요하다. 또한, 측정방법에서는 표면의 잔류응력을 측정할 수 있는 홀드링법과 X-선법 등이 있고, 내부 잔류응력의 측정방법으로는 중성자회절법이 있다. 그러나 홀드링법의 경우, 사용범위의 한계와, 중성자회절법에서의 내부 잔류응력을 측정할 수 있는 두께의 제약이 있어 후판의 잔류응력을 측정하는 것은 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 용접잔류응력의 생성근원인 고유변형도를 측정하고 이것으로부터 맞대기용접에서 발생하는 두께방향의 용접잔류응력을 계측하였다.

FMLC(Fiber-Metal Laminate Composites) is a new structural material combining thin metal laminate with adhesive fiber prepreg, it nearly include all the advantage of metallic materials, for example: good plasticity, impact resistance, processibility, light weight and excellent fatigue properties. This research studied the optimum design of the FMLC subject to various loading conditions using genetic algorithm. The finite element method based on the shear deformation theory was used for the analysis of FMLC. Tasi-Hill failure criterion and Miser yield criterion were taken as fitness functions of the fiber prepreg and the metal laminate, respectively. The design variables were fiber orientation angles. In genetic algorithm, the tournament selection and the uniform crossover method were used. The elitist model was also used to be effective evolution strategy and the creeping random search method was adopted in order to approach a solution with high accuracy. Optimization results were given for various loading conditions and compared with CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic). The results show that the FMLC is more excellent than the CFRP in point and uniform loading conditions and it is more stable to unexpected loading because the deviation of failure index is smaller than that of CFRP.

The very large vessels like VLCC and container ship have been built recently and those vessels have smaller structural strength in comparison with the other convectional skips. As a result the fatigue destruction of upper deck occurs a frequently due to the springing phenomenon at the encountering frequencies. In this study, the hydrodynamic loads are calculated by three-dimensional source distribution method with the translating and pulsating Green function. A ship is longitudinally divided into 23 sections and the added mass, damping and hydrodynamic force of each section is calculated. focusing only on the vertical motion. Stiffness matrix is calculated by the Euler beam theory. The calculation is carried out for Esso Osaka.

Three failure cases of CNG composite vessels were reported since after January 2005. The 1st and 2nd accidents were indebted to vessel defect and installation mistake. The 3rd was caused by gas leak at pipe connections. In this paper various aspects were studied based on information of the three failure analysis, which must be improved for better safety of the CNG bus system. Overpressure region caused by vessel explosion was theoretically predicted and also assessed by PHAST program. Explosion of 120 l vessel under 20 MPa is equivalent to 1.2 kg TNT explosion. The predicted value by PHAST was more serious than theoretical one. However, actual consequence of explosion was much less than both of the predicted consequences. Since the CNG vessel was designed by the performance based design methodology, it is difficult to verify whether the required process and tests were properly conducted or not after production. If material toughness is not enough, the vessel should be weak in brittle fracture at early in the morning of winter season since the metal temperature can be lower than the transition temperature. If autofrettage pressure is not correct, fatigue failure due to tensile stress during repeated charging is possible. One positive aspect is that fire did not ocurred after vessel failure. This may be indebted to fast diffusion of natural gas which hindered starting fire.
