The equation, specified in current bridge design code, for calculating the confining transverse reinforcement amount of RC bridge columns has been made to provide additional load-carrying strength for concentrically loaded columns equal to or slightly greater than the strength lost when the cover concrete spalls off. However, this equation does not directly consider ductile behavior, which is an important factor for the seismic behavior of bridge columns. Consequently, if the section area is relatively small or if the section area ratio becomes excessively large due to the concrete cover thickness increased for durability, too large an amount of transverse reinforcement, which could deteriorate the constructability and economy of piers, will be required. This study intends to analyze what effects the concrete cover thickness has on the equation for determining the confining transverse reinforcement amount.

The aim of this study is to check the application criteria of the conventional techniques and clarify the effects of breaker depth, seabed conditions on the stability in relation to the effects of uncertainty of storm duration and directional irregular waves. The typical damage modes were divided by the direct wave force on the armor unit and by the local scouring around the toe of a breakwater head by the model experiments. The destruction modes are defined, and some criteria on the damage modes and scouring/deposition at the toe of a breakwater head in relating the wave-bottom-structural conditions can be checked using the multi-directonal irregular wave generator system. According to the results, it is emphasized that the 3-D effects on the stability should be analyzed in the design of multi-purpose/function coastal structures in consideration of the evaluation of spatial variation of damage modes and hydraulic characteristics as well as the wave distribution along the structures.

The concrete median barrier used currently in South Korea was developed the impact level of SB5-B(270kJ). However, the impact level of SB6(420kJ) should be considered in many placed with the increased accident of heavy vehicles. In order to increase the impact resistance of newly developed concrete median barrier, the computer simulation was conducted before real field test. For the accurate behavior of concrete, the parameter, such as impact vehicle, concrete cover depth and deterioration, was important. In this paper, a parametric study was conducted depending on vehicle curb weight, concrete cover depth and level of deterioration. The impact resistance of concrete median barrier was severely changed depending on vehicle curb weight and concrete cover depth. Furthermore, the impact resistance of concrete median barrier was also decreased due to deterioration of concrete, therefore the repair and rehabilitation should be conducted for damaged concrete depending on deterioration level. Therefore, vehicle curb weight, cover depth of concrete structures and deterioration level of concrete should be carefully considered for conducting analysis of concrete structure to vehicle collision.

It is known that buried rebars inside concrete structures are protected from corrosion due to passive layer. It is very important to delay the timing of corrosion or evaluate a detection of corrosion initiation for the purpose of cost-beneficiary service life of a structure. In this study, corrosion monitoring was performed on concrete specimens considering 3 levels of cover depth(60 mm, 45 mm, and 30 mm), W/C(water to cement) ratio(40.0%, 50.0%, and 60.0%) and chloride concentration(0.0%, 3.5%, and 7.0%). OCP(Open Circuit Potential) was measured using agar-based socket type sensors. The OCP measurement showed the consistent behavior where the potential was reduced in wet conditions and it was partially recovered in dry conditions. In the case of 30 mm of cover depth for most W/C ratio cases, the lowest OCP value was measured and rapid OCP recovery was evaluated in increasing cover depth from 30 mm to 45 mm, since cover depth was an effective protection against chloride ion ingress. As the chloride concentration increased, the effect on the cover depth tended to be more dominant than the that of W/C ratio. After additional monitoring and physical evaluation of chloride concentration after specimen dismantling, the proposed system can be improved with increasing reliability of the corrosion monitoring.

내압을 받는 압력관의 파괴는 원주방향의 응력이 주된 요인이므로, 압력관의 안전성을 평가를 위해서는 원주방향의 인장특성을 아는 것이 필요하다. 소형 압력관의 인장특성을 평가할 때, 정확한 원주방향의 인장특성을 알기 위해서는 관으로 가공된 후의 재료로 시험해야 하지만, 부피의 제약으로 인하여 원주방향으로의 표준 인장시험편을 제작하지 못하므로 가공하기 전의 재료의 물성치를 사용하고 있다. 이를 개선하고자 원주방향의 인장특성을 평가하기 위한 방법의 하나로 링 시험법(ring test)이 있다.(중략)

It is found that as contents of chloride ion and age increase, area of corrosion also increases. Inare increased to 1035 days from 730 days, slope of increase of corrosion area is greatest. Non-rust inhibitor specimens show corrosion area of 8~35 times more than rust inhibitor specimens and anticorrosive effects by application of rust inhibitor can be confirmed. When chloride ion is not contained, corrosion control effects of steel reinforcing according to increase of thickness are found, but specimens having chloride ion show no regular tend of thickness and corrosion due to complex problems such as reverse diffusion of chloride and test errors.

This research develops a sensorless hydraulic servo system of Parallel-Typed robot for harbour construction. Purpose of the robot is to mechanize the construction, which is accomplished through a joystick's operating by a stoneworker (or diver). The robot is attached on the end of an excavator as its attachment or transported by a crane to reach the desired place. The embedded compact controller is installed on the robot body and controlled by wireless telecommunication. For underwater work, it is necessary to waterproof the robot and its sensors. Especially, a sensor waterproof is a main drawback for the underwater robot. This leads us to develop a hydraulic robot position controller using an observer which gives the position information without any position sensor. We design a neural network to identify the displacement change according to the command voltage to servo valve. To verify the sensorless controller, this paper presents the performance of the sensorless control for which the position is given by the observer comparing with that of the sensor control for which the position is measured by LVDT sensors.

In this study, we suggested the ring creep test using the ring specimen of Arsene for estimating the burst creep properties of the cladding in stead of burst creep test. For this objective, we used the load-displacement conversion relationship of ring specimen called LCRR which had been determined on our previous study at high temperature by performing the ring tensile test and the numerical analysis. Then we carried out both the ring creep test and the burst creep test between 350 $^{\circ}C$ and 600$^{\circ}C$ which were higher then the in-service temperature of the cladding in a reactor. The creep properties from the ring creep test with applying LCRR were compared with those from the burst creep test of closed-end specimens. From the results, it could be seen an very strong relationship between them, especially in Larson- Miller parameter. So, it is expected that we can easily anticipate the creep properties of not only claddings but also various small pressure pipes using the ring creep test.

최근 수자원의 공급중심에서 효율적 이용으로의 정책변화에 따라 도시화에 따른 지하수위 및 하천수위에 대한 연구는 더욱 중요시되고 있다. 현재 도시화로 인한 땅속으로 침투되지 못하고 유출되는 강우는 도시화 이전인 1962년의 5배가 넘는 수준이다. 1962년 당시엔 40%에 이르던 빗물 침투율도 23%로 떨어져 물 부족 가능국가이면서도 강우 침투율은 저조하다. 이것은 도시화의 심화로 인한 시가지의 확대, 토지이용 고밀도화로 인한 불투수층 증가에서 비롯된 것으로서 지하수가 메마르고 토양이 건조해져 매년 평균 지하수위는 하강하고 있고 이것은 하천수위의 하강과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 경기도지역을 대상으로 도시화가 진행된 지역의 수문시계열 자료들을 수집하고 분석하였다. 수문시계열자료로서는 지하수위, 하천수위자료를 수집하였고, 토지피복도를 참고하여 시가지 증가율을 확인하였다. 도시화가 진행된 도심지역 내 지하수위 관측소를 중심으로 하천수위 중 자료에 문제가 없는 곳을 선정하였다. 선정된 지역 중 5개 지역에서 지하수위의 하강 및 하천수위의 하강이 관측되었다. 각 지역마다 연평균 하천수위 연평균 지하수위, 토지피복도를 도시하고, 토지피복도의 변화에 따른 불투수층확산지역의 지하수위와 하천수위의 변화를 분석하였다. 대부분의 지역에서 시가지 증가율에 따른 불투수층이 증가함에 따라 지하수위와 하천수위는 하강하고 있었다. 그러므로 도시화가 진행되면서 지하수위와 하천수위에 수문학적으로 부정적인 영향을 준다고 설명할 수 있고 여기에 최근 한국의 기후변화가 수자원에 미치는 영향도 고려한다면 수위하강은 더욱 가속화 될 것이다.
