In order to make reliable ground shock predictions in saturated geological media, it is necessary to use multi -phase material models and numerical codes. This paper presents the results of theoretical study of the fundamental behavior of multi-phase porous media subjected to high dynanlic loadings, and deals with the development of numerical code MPDAP with JWL(Jones-Wilkins-Lee) model, which is capable of considering the kinds and characters of explosives. To check the global equilhorium equations of the numerical code, we carried out some verifications. In the cases of the elastic spherical wave propagation in a single phase medium, one-dimensional linear ronsolidation, and one timensional wave propagation in saturated linear elastic soils and rocks, the results calculated by MPDAP show close agreement with closed-form solutions or numerical solutions generated with two phase code.

The soil-structure interaction(SSI) effect should be considered to accurately assess the seismic response of structure constructed on soft soil site other than the hard bedrock. Recently, the demand of SSI analysis has increased due to strengthening of the regulatory guidelines of nuclear power plant such as the USNRC SRP 3.7.2. In this study an accuracy and running time of the KIESSI-3D program for large-scale 3D SSI analysis were investigated. The seismic SSI analysis using the KIESSI-3D program was performed for several examples of large-scale three-dimensional soil-structure interaction system. The analysis results were compared with those of the ACS/SASSI program. Good agreements in transfer functions at selected locations showd that KIESSI-3D yields accurate solution for large-scale SSI problem. Moreover, it was found that running speed of the KIESSI-3D for large-scale 3D SSI analysis is much faster than that of the ACS/SASSI about 30~2000 times.

A numerical model considering the vapor pressure and the creep models, in the form of a analytical program, for tracing the behavior of high strength concrete (HSC) members exposed to fire is presented. The two stages, i.e., spalling procedure and fire resistance time, associated with the thermal, moisture flow, creep and structural analysis, for the prediction of fire resistance behavior are explained. The use of the analytical program for tracing the response of HSC member from the initial pre-loading stage to collapse, due to fire, is demonstrated. The validity of the numerical model used in this program is established by comparing the predictions from this program with results from others fire resistance tests. The analytical program can be used to predict the fire resistance of HSC members for any value of the significant parameters, such as load, sectional dimensions, member length, and concrete strength.

The strut-tie model approach has been recognized as an efficient methodology for the design of all types of concrete members with D-regions, and the approach has been accepted in design codes globally. However, the design of concrete members with the approach requires many iterative numerical structural analyses, numerous graphical calculations, enormous times and efforts, and designer's subjective decisions in terms of the development of appropriate strut-tie model, determination of required areas of struts and ties, and verification of strength conditions of struts and nodal zones. In this study, a computer graphics program, that enables the design of concrete members efficiently and professionally by overcoming the forementioned limitations of the strut-tie model approach, is developed. In the computer graphics program, the numerical programs that are essential in the strut-tie model analysis and design of concrete members including finite element analysis programs for the plane truss and solid problems with all kinds of boundary conditions, a program for automatic determination of effective strengths of struts and nodal zones, and a program for graphical verification of developed strut-tie model's appropriateness by displaying various geometrical shapes of struts and nodal zones, are loaded. Great efficiency and convenience during the application of the strut-tie model approach may be provided by the various graphics environment-based functions of the proposed program.

In this study, a wrapping program was developed to analyze a proportional solenoid valve more easily using a conventional finite element method (FEM) tool. To achieve an accurate solution when analyzing a solenoid valve, finite element analysis (FEA) is more suitable than a lumped method. To develop a program for modeling and analyzing the valve performance using FEA code for the user's convenience, it is assumed that the solenoid valve is composed of some simple geometries, namely, a triangle and a rectangle. This assumption helps users to model a solenoid valve simply. To check the feasibility of the developed code, an actual solenoid valve is analyzed, and it is found that the code can suitably analyze this valve. The characteristics of the proportional valve are well identified as indicated through the graphs.

A reliability-groundwater flow analysis is performed and the influence of flow parameters on the probability of exceeding the threshold value is examined. For this study, the 3-D numerical groundwater flow program, DGU-FLOW, is developed by extending the 2-D flow program and is coupled to the first and second order reliability program. The 3-D flow program is verified by solving the examples of groundwater flow through the underground excavation and comparing the results from commercial MODFLOW program. Reliability routine of the program is also verified by comparing the probability of failure with that of Monte-Carlo Simulation. The reliability analysis of the groundwater flow showed that the probability of failure from the first and second order reliability method are quite close to that of Monte-Carlo Simulation. from the parametric study of hydraulic conductivity of soil layers, the increase of both mean and variance of hydraulic conductivity results in the increase of probability of exceeding the threshold flow quantity. The probability of failure was more sensitive to constant head located at the end of the flow domain than the other parameters.

일반적으로 수문빈도해석은 치수계획 수립에 이용되는 설계강수량, 계획홍수량 등을 산정하기 위해 연최대치계열 또는 연초과치계열 자료를 이용한 극치빈도해석을 수행하고, 확률분포의 우측꼬리(right tail) 부분을 이용하여 확장된 재현기간에 해당하는 확률수문량을 추정한다. 하지만 가뭄 관련 분석에서는 확률분포의 좌측꼬리(left tail) 부분은 이용해 확장된 재현기간별 확률수문량을 추정해야할 경우가 발생한다. 또한 물관리 실무에서 장 단기 운영계획 수립을 위해 이용하는 갈수빈도 유입량 산정 등에서도 평년보다 작은 수문량에 대한 빈도해석이 필요한 경우가 있다. 국가 가뭄정보분석센터에서는 기존에 K-water연구원에서 개발한 빈도해석 프로그램인 K-FAT의 분석모듈을 이용해 극소치계열 또는 갈수빈도 유입량 분석에 특화된 가뭄빈도해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 프로그램은 GEV, Gumbel, Weibull 등 14개의 확률분포형을 포함하며, 모멘트법, 최우도법 및 L-모멘트법을 사용하여 매개변수를 추정한다. 적합도 검정의 경우 χ², K-S, CVM, PPCC 및 수정 Anderson-Darling test를 이용하여 다각적인 검정을 할 수 있도록 하였다. 분석을 위한 입력 자료의 경우 사용자가 전처리를 통해 준비한 연최소치계열 등 연도별 시계열자료를 이용할 수 있으며, 일단위 및 월단위의 강수량 또는 댐 유입량 자료를 이용해 사용자가 원하는 기간의 누적강수량, 평균 유입량으로 변환할 수 있는 자료변환 기능을 추가하여 실무 활용성을 높였다. 또한 최적 확률분포 선정을 위해 참고할 수 있도록 AIC(Akaike information criteria)와 BIC(Bayesian information criteria) 분석이 포함되어 있으며, Bootstrap 기법 등을 이용한 불확실성 산정을 통해 추정 값의 신뢰구간을 표시하도록 하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 베타버전 시험배포를 거쳐 가뭄정보포털을 통해 배포할 예정이다.

Until recently post-processing of finite element model has been heavily relied on expensive graphic peripheral devices. With the aid of inexpensive microcomputers, very economical post-processor graphics program called MICRO-POST has been developed. Model geometry or results of analysis for the unlimited meshes can be easily presented in a number of low-cost graphic devices. The paper presents the procedure obtaining the device-independent graphics, and the structure and functions of the program. It also describes efficient I/O scheme to overcome the memory limitation, and dialogue-type input technique to control the plot operation in an interactive manner. Through the post processing examples for the general purpose finite element programs, it demonstrates the usefulness of the program.

This paper aims at developing a finite element program to predict undrained behavior of granular soil by using elasto-plastic constitutive model. A computer program developed by authors based on Christian's techniques for undrained behaviour of the soil has been employed coupled with Lade's single work-hardening model. Modification of the program for drained behaviour, considering restraint of volumetric strain, makes it possible to analize the underained behaviour. To validate the newly developed program, comparison of results was performed between numerical values and experimental data for Baekma river sand as well as Sacrmento river sand studied by Seed and Lee. The program is evaluated to have high accuracy.
