In this paper, we described the aeroelastic full-bridge model tests that were conducted to investigate the effect of alternative temporary stabilizing measures for thecable-stayed bridge during construction to ensure aerodynamic stability in the event of a typhoon or similar disasters. The effect of alternative temporary stabilizing measures was investigated through various configurations on two cable-stayed bridges with a main span of 475 m and 230 m, respectively. To investigate the bridge's aerodynamic behaviour and dynamic wind force during construction, the deflections at the end of the cantilever, the accelerations atthe top of the pylon and the moments at the lower part of the pylon were measured. As the result, the system with two sets of vertical cables per cantilever seemed to be the overall most effective solution, but the system with single vertical cable may also work. The combined system using the caisson support and vertical cables and the system with two sets of inclined cables per cantilever on the same anchor block may also be a solution. The inclined cables from the caisson to the girder were effective for some early stages of erecting the deck.

A remarkable discrepancy of lateral deformation of shear wall structures for seismic loads due to a rigid diaphragm assumption without floor slab modelling asks a study how much effective the slab stiffness ratio is to the lateral behaviour. Typical shear wall type 15 stories structure is selected to analysis using MIDAS-ADS2008 commercial softwares modelling three types; 1) rigid diaphragm (RD model) 2) considered out-of plane slab flexural stiffness (DB model), and 3) considered in and out of plane slab flexural stiffness (SRC model). Based on National Code of KBC2005, the Equivalent Static and Response Spectrum seismic analysis are undertaken to compare each responses of the three models. The differences of lateral responses due to the three slab stiffness ratios applied on the models are compared and discussed.

해안과 만나는 하천의 하구부에서는 해수의 흐름에 따른 연안토사의 이동과 유황에 따른 하천상류에서의 토사유입량에 의해 하구부가 빠르게 변화한다. 본 연구대상지인 가곡천은 유로연장이 짧고 경사가 급한 산지하천의 특징을 가지고 있어 집중호우시 토사가 하류로 빠르게 유입되어 일반하천에 비하여 하구부의 지형변화가 크게 일어난다. 가곡천 하구부는 모래사장으로 이루어져 있는 호산해수욕장과 경관적 및 자연적 가치로 인해 보존 필요성이 대두되고 있는 하중도인 솔섬이 위치해 있다. 그러나 현재 솔섬 주변 하구부 인근의 일반산업단지 건설과 고향의 강 조성사업에 따른 하도환경의 변화로 하도를 유하하는 유수의 흐름 및 침퇴적 양상의 변화를 가져와 홍수의 원활한 소통에 지장을 초래하고 있다. 또한 현장조사 및 모니터링 결과 하구 지형변화로 인해 하도안정 유지관리에도 막대한 영향을 끼치는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가곡천 하구부의 하도환경 변화에 따른 수리학적 특성 및 하천형태학적인 변화를 분석하여 하도안정을 파괴하는 요인을 규명하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구방법은 가곡천 하천정비기본계획의 빈도별 홍수량, 기점홍수위를 경계조건으로 2차원 수리해석 모형인 SRH-2D모형을 이용하여 하도환경 변화 전 후의 대상구간에 대해 수리특성 및 하상변동 양상을 모의하였다. 모의결과 하도환경 변화(홍수터 및 징검여울 등의 하천시설물 조성)에 따른 수리특성변동양상과 침 퇴적지점에 대한 변동경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 동해안 하구부에 위피한 하천의 다양한 변화 해석시 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A series of model tests was performed to evaluate the survivability of an articulated tower-type buoy structure under harsh environmental conditions. The buoy structure consisted of three long pipes, a buoyancy module, and top equipment. The scale model was made of acrylic pipe and plastic with a scale ratio of 1/22. The experiments were carried out at the ocean engineering basin of KRISO. The performance of the buoy structure was investigated under waves only and under combined environmental conditions from sea state (SS) 5 to 7. A nonlinear time-domain numerical simulation was conducted using the mooring analysis program OrcaFlex. The survivability of the buoy was analyzed based on three factors: the pitch motion, submergence of the top structure, and anchor reaction force. The model test results were directly compared to the results of numerical simulations. The effects of the sea state and combined environment on the performance of the buoy structure were investigated.

하천에서의 식생은 하천의 조도 및 흐름특성을 변화시키는 요인 중 하나로서 하천 내의 식생밀도 변화로 인하여 발생한 하상변동은 장기적으로 하천내의 하중도가 발생하거나, 식생으로 인해한 방향으로 편중된 흐름으로 인하여 제내지 방향으로의 하천 침식이 발생하고, 이에 따라 구조물의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 등 하천의 중 장기 계획 시 고려해야할 중요한 요인이다. 이에 따라 식생 모형을 이용한 다양한 흐름특성 분석 실험들이 수행되었으나, 대부분의 연구에서는 식생을 단순화하여 모형으로 사용하였기 때문에 실제 식생에 대한 영향성을 보기에는 한계가 존재한다. 건설기술연구원의 하천실증연구센터에서는 이러한 식생의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 네덜란드의 Deltares, 핀란드의 Aalto 대학 등과 함께 다년간 국제공동연구를 수행하였으며, 금번 소개하는 실험에서는 식생밀도에 따른 흐름변화, 하상변동 및 환경 변화 등의 검토를 목적으로 하였다. 실험은 총 2가지 유량 조건에 대하여 수행되었으며, 실험 중 흐름의 안정화를 확인하기 위하여, 유출수조에는 6개의 압력식 수위계를 설치하여 실험기간동안 유출수조에서의 수심변화를 측정하였고, 하도에는 실험구간 상 하류에 SonTek의 SL-1500 및 SL-3000을 이용하여 지속적으로 수심을 측정하고, 이 외에도 하류단에 2개의 압력식 수위 측정장비를 설치하여 수심을 모니터링하였다. 실험에 사용된 식생은 높이 약 1.5m의 2가지 밀도로 폭 2m, 길이 4m의 규모로 설치하였고, 광파기와 3차원 레이저 스캐너를 이용하여 실험 전 후의 식생 주변 및 전 실험구간의 하상을 측량하였다. 흐름특성 분석을 위한 수리 측정은 Nortek사의 Vectrino를 이용하여 측정하였고, 총 24개 측선에 대하여 각 측선별 5 ~ 10개의 유속자료를 측정하였으며, 각 측점별로 90초간 자료를 수집하였다. 흐름특성 분석에 사용된 유속자료는 이상치를 제거한 후 수행되었으며, 이상치의 제거는 표준편차의 3배 이상의 편차를 갖거나, 측정자료의 자기상관도가 70% 이하인 값들은 제거한 후 분석을 수행하였다. 흐름 분석을 위한 측정자료를 이 외에도 캠코더를 이용한 표면유속영상 측정기법과 ADCP를 이용한 측정도 병행하였으나, 본 연구에서는 Vectrino로 측정된 결과만을 소개하고자 한다.

Recently, interest in Tie-cell wave-dissipating blocks that can compensate for the disadvantages of block-type breakwaters and provide economically effective design is increasing. Tie-cell wave-dissipating block has high activity resistance due to its structure in which each block is held together by a pile. In this study, through the laboratory model experiments, it was possible to confirm the increase in lateral resistance of the Tie-cell wave-dissipating blocks due to the penetration of the piles. The lateral resistance of the piles appeared almost constant regardless of the overburden load of the blocks. The lateral resistance shared by the piles changed depending on the increase or decrease in the lateral resistance of the friction between blocks. In the experiment in which two piles were penetrated, the overall lateral resistance was larger than the case a single pile was used, but the resistance behavior of the piles was different.

This study described the relationship of settlement-lateral displacement and settlement-heaving according to the DCM type using the model test results, in order to evaluate the behavioral characteristics of the soft ground improved with DCM. As a result, it was found that the total settlement of the model ground was relatively small in the soft ground, to which the DCM was applied, and the settlement was less in the order of the grid type, wall type, and pile type under the same load conditions. This trend was also the same for the lateral displacement and heaving. In addition, the relationship between settlement and lateral displacement of soft ground was analyzed to be similar to that of previous study (Leroueil et al., 1990). Therefore, the DCM of grid type was evaluated to be superior to other types for lateral flow and heaving in the improvement effect of soft ground.

Micropiles are cast-in-place-type piles with small diameters. They are widely used for the foundation reinforcement of existing buildings and structures because this technique is easy to construct and economic. A base expansion structure is developed following the mechanism of radial expansion at the pile tip under compression. Numerical analysis, durability tests, and centrifuge tests have been conducted using the base expansion structure. In this study, three-dimensional numerical modeling was performed to describe the behavioral mechanism of the base expansion structure using steel bar penetration under compressive loading, and numerical analyses using centrifuge test conditions were performed for the comparative studies. Additionally, the base structure was modified based on the results of lab-scale analyses, and the bearing capacities of micropiles were compared using field-scale numerical analyses under various ground conditions.

In this paper, a series of laboratory chamber tests were carried out to evaluate the applicability of a porous concrete pile fabricated with recycled aggregates (RAPP) for the soft ground improvement. While performing the laboratory chamber tests for the RAPP, the surface settlement, excess pore pressure and vertical stress distribution with time were compared with those of SCP provided by You (2003) under the same experimental condition. In addition, the experimental results were compared with the numerical simulation using ABAQUS in this study. The results show that the settlement reduction is significantly enhanced due to the stress-sharing mechanism between the RAPP and soil formation by stress concentration on the RAPP. Furthermore, the comparison of consolidation rate shows that the RAPP can accelerate consolidation as well, which behaves as a vertical drain.

In general, environment-induced vibration propagates from the center of source to the destination through ground. In fact, the mechanism of wave propagation is highly dependent on the ground conditions, and various methods to protect structures from such a ground vibration have been proposed. The method of wall barrier has been frequently used to cut off ground vibration effectively. However, the capability of wall barrier may be affected by various factors like constituent material of it. Therefore, it is important to figure out appropriate material for the wall barrier. This study is focused on the effect of EPS on the vibration protection. Centrifuge model tests were performed. Two types of models such as a cylindrical and a rectangular wall were used. For the cylindrical type of wall, installation depth was changed, while the length of the wall varied fur the rectangular type to figure out the capability of vibration protection.
