In this study, an equation is proposed to estimate the limit velocity for lateral stable bed in a curved channel stream. The stable bed on lateral direction is satisfied when there is no more deformation occurs on the transverse bed slope and non-scouring condition in a bend. A theoretical equation for limit velocity is derived using a transverse bed slope model. So, the limit velocity has its theoretical background in the equilibrium of two forces, lateral shear force at the bed due to longitudinal flow and the corresponding lateral bed shear force. To verify the equation, data from four natural river channels were used. There is good agreement between the calculated values using this equation and the measured values. The corrections in equation was found to be correlated with the averaged particle Froude number.

The concrete structural design provisions in Korea are based on ultimate strength design. Up to service load stage, it is assumed a linear stress-strain relation, but there is no stress-strain relationship for a concrete material from service load stage to limat state. According to the current provisions, an independent method is provided for the each calculation of deflection and crack width. In EC2 provisions based on limit state design, however, a stress-strain relationship of concrete is provided. Thereby, it is able to calculate a strength as well as a deflection directly from concrete stress-strain relationship. In this paper the moment-curvature relationship is directly calculated from a material law using equilibrium and compatibility conditions. Then strength and deflection are formulated. These results are compared with the values from the current provisions in Korea. From the results, the deflection based on a moment-curvature relationship is well agreed with experimental results and it is appeared that the deflection after the yielding of steel is also possible.

환성진화(桓星進化)의 최종단계(最終段階)에서 이루어지는 고밀도성(高密度星)(백색왜성(白色矮星), 중성자성(中性子星))의 평형(平衡)의 한계질량(限界質量)은 현재(現在)까지 태양질량(太陽質量)의 $0.6{\sim}2$배(倍)로 알려졌다. 이 값의 차이(差異)는 가정(假定)한 상태방정식(狀態方程式)에 따르고 있으나 그 어느것이나 모두 태양(太陽)의 질량(質量)과 대차(大差)없다는 사실(事實)은 주목(注目)할 일이다. 또 관측(觀測)된 보통(普通)의 별의 질량(質量)도 태양질량(太陽質量)의 $\frac{1}{10}{\sim}60$배(倍)의 범위에 있다. 이 두 사실(事實)을 종합(綜合)하여 태양(太陽)의 질량(質量)이 가지는 특정(特定)한 자리의 물리적(物理的)인 근거(根據)로서 Polytrope 기체(氣體)의 지수(指數) $({\gamma}=\frac{4}{3})$와 $(\frac{{\hbar}c}{Gm_H{^2}})^{\frac{3}{2}}$의 지수(指數)사이의 연관성(聯關性)을 고찰(考察)하였다.

Riemann 문제는 천수방정식과 같은 쌍곡선형 방정식과 단일한 도약에 의해 불연속인 어떤 점의 좌 우에서 상수인 자료로 구성되는 초기치 문제로서 그 해법은 Godunov 방법과 같이 정확해에 의하면 정확 Riemann 해법, 근사 기법에 의하면 근사 Riemann 해법으로 불린다. 지금까지 이용되는 근사 Riemann 해법으로는 1981년에 P. L. Roe가 제안한 Roe의 선형화 기법과 1983년에 A. Harten, P. D. Lax, 그리고 B. van Leer가 제안한 HLL 기법의 수정 기법들이다. 최대 및 최소 파속만 고려하는 것으로 알려진 HLL 기법은 1988년에 B. Einfeldt의 제안에 의해 두 파속의 결정에서 Roe의 선형화 기법에 따른 고유치와 비교하는 것으로 수정되었다(HLLE 기법). 또한, 1994년에 E. F. Toro 등은 접촉파를 고려하기 위해 선형화된 지배방정식의 정확해로부터 중앙 파속을 고려하는 기법을 제안하였고, 이를 HLLC 기법으로 불렀다. 2002년에 T. Linde는 중앙 파속을 평가하기 위해 일반화된(수학적) 엔트로피 함수를 도입하였으며, van Leer는 이를 HLLL 기법으로 불렀다. 이 기법에서는 접촉파의 평가를 위해 보존변수에 대한 일반화된 엔트로피 함수로부터 중앙 파속이 유도되며, 이것과 특성 속도의 비교를 통해 최대 및 최소 파속이 결정된다. 따라서 이 기법에서는 모든 파속이 초기치로부터 결정되므로 HLLE 기법과 달리 Roe의 선형화 기법과 완전히 결별되고 HLLC 기법과 달리 정확해에 의존되지 않는 점에서 HLLL 기법은 모태인 HLL 기법의 온전한 계승으로 볼 수 있다. HLLL 기법은 여러 분야에 적용된 바 있으나, 수공학 분야에 적용된 사례는 알려진 바 없다. 이는 천수방정식에 대한 (물리적) 엔트로피 함수가 명확하지 않기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 이 연구에서는 보존변수로부터 정의되는 총 에너지를 일반화된 엔트로피 함수로 간주하여 모형을 구성하고, 정확해가 알려진 1차원 문제에 대해 적용성을 검토하였다. 정확해가 알려진 경우에 대해 모의한 결과, 1차 정도 수치해의 한계에도 불구하고, HLLL 기법의 결과는 대체로 정확해와 잘 일치하였으며 그 외의 HLL-형 기법의 그것에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 물이 빠져 바닥이 드러나는 상태에 대한 접촉 파속의 추정에서 Riemann 불변량을 이용하는 HLLC 기법에 비해 물이 빠지는 전선을 더 정확하게 포착하는 HLLL 기법의 결과는 매우 고무적이었다.

The Disturbed State Concept (DSC) model, with simplified unloading/reloading formulation, is implemented in a nonlinear dynamic finite element program fur porous media named DSC_DYN2D. In this research, the DSC constitutive model is utilized using the HiSS model for relative intact (RI) part and the critical state model for the fully adjusted (FA) part in the material. The general formulation for implementation is developed. The cyclic loading tests from the field load test data on a pile segment were numerically simulated using the finite element program DSC_DYN2D and compared with field measurements and those from the previous analysis with the HiSS model. The DSC predictions show improved agreement with the field behavior of the pile compared to those from the HiSS model. Overall, the computer procedure with the DSC model allows improved and realistic simulation of the complex dynamic soil-structure interaction problems.

Probabilistic Risk Assessment considering statistically random variables is performed for the preliminary design of a Cable Stayed Bridge, which is Prestressed Concrete Bridge consisted of cable and plate girders, based on the method of Working Stress Design and Strength Design. Component reliabilities of cables and girders have been evaluated using the response surface of the design variables at the selected critical sections based on the maximum shear, positive and negative moment locations. Response Surface Method (RSM) is successfully applied for reliability analyses for this relatively small probability of failure of the complex structure, which is hard to obtain through Monte-Carlo Simulations. or through First Order Second Moment Method that can not easily calculate the derivative terms of implicit limit state functions. For the analysis of system reliability, parallel resistance system consisting of cables and plate girder is changed into series connection system and the result of system reliability of total structure is presented. As a system reliability, the upper and lower probabilities of failure for the structural system have been evaluated and compared with the suggested prediction method for the combination of failure modes. The suggested prediction method for the combination of failure modes reveals the unexpected combinations of element failures in significantly reduced time and efforts compared with the previous permutation method or system reliability analysis method, which calculates upper and lower bound failure probabilities.

response surface method (RSM) is widely used to evaluate th e extremely smal probability of ocurence or toanalyze the reliability of very complicated structures. Althoug h Monte-Carlo Simulation (MCS) technique can evaluate any system, the procesing time of MCS dependson the reciprocal num ber of the probability of failure. The stochastic finite element method could solve thislimitation. However, it is limit ed to the specific program, in which the mean and coeficient o f random variables are programed by a perturbation or by a weigh ted integral method. Therefore, it is not aplicable when erequisite programing. In a few number of stage analyses, RSM can construct a regresion model from the response of the c omplicated structural system, thus, saving time and efort significantly. However, the acuracy of RSM depends on the dist ance of the axial points and on the linearity of the limit stat e functions. To improve the convergence in exact solution regardl es of the linearity limit of state functions, an improved adaptive response surface method is developed. The analyzed res ults have ben verified using linear and quadratic forms of response surface functions in two examples. As a result, the be st combination of the improved RSM techniques is determined and programed in a numerical code. The developed linear adapti ve weighted response surface method (LAW-RSM) shows the closest converged reliability indices, compared with quadratic form or non-adaptive or non-weighted RSMs.

A dynamic system is called positive if any trajectory of the system starting from non-negative initial states remains forever non-negative for non-negative controls. In this paper, new sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of the interval positive time-varying linear discrete-time systems with time-varying delay in states are considered. The considered time-varying delay time has an interval-like bound which has minimum and maximum delay time. The proposed conditions are established by using a solution bound of the Lyapunov equation and they are expressed by simple inequalities which do not require any complex numerical algorithms. An example is given to illustrate that the new conditions are simple and effective in checking stability for interval positive time-varying discrete systems.

The HLLL scheme, proposed by T. Linde, determines all the wave speeds from the initial states because the middle wave is evaluated by the introduction of a generalized entropy function. The scheme is considered a genuine successor to the original HLL scheme because it is completely separated form the Roe's linearization scheme unlike the HLLE scheme and does not rely on the exact solution unlike the HLLC scheme. In this study, a numerical model was configured by the HLLL scheme with the total energy as a generalized entropy function to solve governing equations, which are the one-dimensional shallow water equations without source terms and with an additional conserved variable relating a concentration. Despite the limitations of the first order solutions, results to three cases with the exact solutions were generally accurate. The HLLL scheme appeared to be superior in comparison with the other HLL-type schemes. In particular, the scheme gave fairly accurate results in capturing the front of wetting and drying. However, it revealed shortcomings of more time-consuming calculations compared to the other schemes.

Soil investigation data at 7 different locations around Honam costal region were analyzed and experimental correlations between soil properties and parameters of soft clay were presented. Most soils were classified as CL and CH by the Unified Soil Classification System and were unstable structurally because the water contents were generally greater than the liquid limits. The compression index has good correlations with water content, liquid limit and initial void ratio. The trend of these correlations were similar to the Skempton equation Cc = 0.009(LL -10) and other studies for Korean soft clays but the constants were small different. The slope of these correlations for Honam costal region were slightly greater than those for Kyunggi costal region and Kyungnam costal region. The correlation coefficient (R) between the liquid limit and the plastic index is 0.93. It is seen that not only the water content and the liquid limit but also the water content and the initial void ratio are correlate, therefore the experimental equations were presented for the practical purpose.
