As the demand for underground space increases, many researchers have been studying the load reduction method using high compressible materials to solve for the stability problem of the overhead load and for the increase of the earth pressure which decreases the function of the underground structure. This paper determines the optimum soft zone and the effect of the using EPS Geofoam as a load reduction material to arch structures. A finite element analysis program, ABAQUS, is used to analyze the soil-structure interaction and the behavior of buried arch structures considering different four EPS Geofoam forms to confirm the most conservative shape. The optimum cross-sectional shape was determined by comparing the results of earth pressure reduction rate in accordance with the change of span-rise ratio and span length of the arch structure. It was confirmed that the earth pressure generated in the arch structure using the optimal soft zone selected by the numerical analysis was reduced by an average of 78%. In this study, the effect of EPS Geofoam on soil pressure reduction and its applicability to underground arch structures will provide an economical and conservative way to design underground structures and will help to increase the usability of deep underground space.

Steel pile foundations are widely used for offshore constructions due to their high bearing capacity and efficiency. Typically, offshore structures that have reached the end of their design life are required to be demolished. However, pile foundations are often left on site due to technical and economic limitations. The pile left on the site not only pollutes the environment, but can also cause obstacles for the construction of new structures. Therefore, research is required to completely eliminate these foundations at the site. In this study, a new type of double-wall pile foundation that can drastically reduce the pull-out load was conceptually proposed, and a series of model tests were performed to validate the performance of the double-wall pile foundation. The installation and extraction of the double-wall pile were simulated in dry sand in the model test, and the measured up-lift load was compared to that of the conventional pile. According to the result, the maximum up-lift load induced by the decommissioning of the double-wall pile was reduced by 45% when compared to the traditional pile in dense sand. This study verified the mechanism for reducing the up-lift load of the double-wall foundation and confirmed the possibility of completely decommissioning a pile that has reached the end of its nominal service life.

A sacrificial member with aluminum foam of excellent energy absorption capacity was proposed for the protection of significant structures. Parametric studies of explicit finite element analyses were performed to investigate the pressure mitigation of close-range air-blasts. The scaled distance of the blast had a range of Z=0.48~0.95 and an empirical blast load function was utilized. The analytical parameters of the aluminum foam were density, thickness and the existence of a cover sheet. Analytical results showed that the transmitted pressure can be controlled to have a similar level of yield values of the foam by using a foam with low density and higher thickness. As the blast load increased, the sacrificial member needed to have higher density and thickness. A cover sheet of the foam clearly showed its effect on the wider distribution of blast pressure. It is necessary to determine the design parameters of sacrificial foams considering different energy dissipation capacities according to the scaled distance.

In the case of an elevated railway station, structure borne noise and vibration due to structural limitations allow the load and vibration from railway vehicles to be directly transmitted to the station structure, resulting in an increase in the number of civil complaints from customers and staff of the station. The floating slab track system, which is well known as one of the solutions for reducing the noise and vibration from elevated railway stations, usually contains rubber mounts or rubber pads under the railway slab which act as a damper. These types of device have the disadvantage that is difficult to predetermine the exact stiffness and damping ratio under the nonlinear loads resulting from train services. In this study, an isolator with a friction type of wedge is introduced, which can be applied to floating slab track systems and to be designed with precisely the required stiffness. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the stiffness between the designed and experimental values is carried out, while the damping ratio, which is closely related to the friction wedge blocks, is deduced according to the train load condition. The performance tests of the isolator were conducted in accordance with the DIN 45673-7 standard which includes both static and dynamic load tests. The load conditions for the performance tests are designed to conform to the DIN standard related to the weight of the train and rail track, in order to perform vertical and horizontal load tests, so as to ensure the secure structural safety of the railway. Also, by checking the change aspect of the friction coefficients of the friction elements according to the loading rate, the vibration reduction performance of the friction type isolator with variable loading rate conditions is examined.

본 논문에서는 종래의 정적인 디지털 패턴 매칭을 행하는 연상메모리와는 달리 아놀로그의 시계열정보를 직접 처리하여 시간축 방향으로 설정하는 것으로 강인성이 뛰어난 연상기억시스템을 제안하였다. 시스템의 기본적인 능력을 조사하기 위하여 기억패턴을 주기계열로 그리고 하중은 전부 고정하는 조건으로 단순화하여 시뮬레이션을 행하여 오류 정정능력을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 시간축 방향의 하중을 적절하게 설정하면 기억용량의 증대나 상기 오류의 저감 등의 효과가 기대된다.

본 고에서는 축대칭회전 Shell을 해석모델로 선정하여 주로 Shell의 휨 강성이 구조체의 거동에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 어떠한 구조형식이든 외력의 작용하에서 발생되는 응력이 축방향력 뿐이라는 것은 상당히 합리적이고 역학적으로도 명쾌한 동시에, 실제 설계상 이상적인 판단기준을 부여하지만, 실제로는 필히 휨상태를 수반하게 된다. 이러한 휨상태는 구성요소의 휨강성에 크게 의존하고 있고, 구조체에 어느정도의 휨강성을 부여하므로써 작용하중에 대한 저항능력의 증가, 변형 및 응력의 저감에 효과적이라는 것을 알 수 있다. 본 고에서는 등방성 Shell에 대한 선형 해석결과만을 게재하였으나, 이러한 성상은 여러가지 영향인자(지지조건, 하중상태 등)에 따라 아주 상이하게 나타나기 때문에 세심한 고찰이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

현재 제철소 냉연공장에서는 수지처리 강판을 생산하기 위하여 수지 coater를 사용하고 있다. 그런데 강판의 이면 피복 시, applicator roll에 대한 back-up roll의 균일 하중 부하로 수지의 균일한 피복이 실현되나, 전면을 피복할 때 하중 부하를 위한 별도의 tool이 없는 상태로 강판의 hunting에 대응 불가능한 현장 layout으로 되어 전면 수지부착량 편차가 크게 발생되었다. (중략)

In this paper, wrinkle reduction design was studied for triangular sail. Wrinkles in the solar sail membrane can change the load path and surface topology which may have an adverse effect on propulsion performance and controllability. In this study, wrinkle reduction strategies of adjusting cable angle, catenary and catenary-wire schemes were considered and the design parameters for wrinkle reduction were systematically investigated.
