Ground dynamic parameter such as shear elastic modulus and damping ratio is a very important variable in design of ground-structure with repeated load and dynamic load. Shear elastic modulus and damping ratio on small strain below linear limit strain is constant regardless of strain. Shear elastic modulus as the maximum shear elastic modulus and damping ratio as the minimum damping ratio were considered. As a lot of experiment related to the maximum shear elastic modulus, which is in dynamic deformation characteristics, have been conducted, many factors including voiding ratio, over consolidation ratio(OCR), confining pressure, geology time, PI, and the number of load cycle affect to dynamic soil characteristic. However, the research of ground dynamic characteristic improved with grout is absent such as underground continuous wall construction, deep mixing method, umbrella arch method. In order to investigate the dynamic soil characteristics improved with grout, in this study, resonant column tests were performed with changing water content(20%, 25%, 30%) and injection ratio of grout(5%, 10%, 15%), cure time(7th day, 28th day) As a result, shear elastic modulus and damping ratio, which are ground dynamic parameter, are affected by the injection ratio of milk grout, cure time and water content.

Recently, non-destructive stress measurement method using magnetic anisotropy sensor has been applied to the construction site such as steel bridges and steel pipes. In addition, steel rib used in the tunnel construction site was found to be possible to measure the stress by non-destructive method. In this study, steel loading experiments using magnetic anisotropy sensor developed in Japan and strain gauges were conducted to derive stress sensitivity curve for domestic steel SS400. Also, additional steel loading experiments and numerical analysis were performed for evaluation of applicability for non-destructive stress measurement method using magnetic anisotropy sensor. As a result of this study, stress sensitivity curves for domestic steel SS400 were derived using output voltage measured by magnetic anisotropy sensor and average of stress measured by strain gauges depending on the measurement location. And as a result of comparing additional steel loading experiments with the numerical analysis, error level of magnetic anisotropy sensor is around 20MPa. When considering the level of the yield stress(245MPa) of steel, in case of using magnetic anisotropy sensor in order to determine the stress status of steel, it has sufficient accuracy in engineering. Especially, magnetic anisotropy sensor can easily identify the current state of stress which considers residual stress at steel structure that stress measurement sensor is not installed, so we found that magnetic anisotropy sensor can be applied at maintenance of steel structure conveniently.

This paper deals with development and dissipation of excess pore pressure induced by the cyclic load. Cyclic triaxial tests on reconstituted samples of weathered residual soils, which were widely used as construction materials in Korea, were performed. Test results showed that excess pore pressures developed under undrained condition increased with the increase of cyclic loads and confining pressures. And a new concept based on modified excess pore pressure ratio (MEPPR) was proposed for simply estimating excess pore pressures in terms of the number of cyclic load, irrespective of cyclic loads and confining pressures. Also, it was proposed that excess pore pressure ratio (EPPR) could be effectively utilized to estimate volumetric strains during dissipation which decreased as confining pressures increased. Consequently, concept and method to effectively estimate settlements under non-liquefied condition, induced by dynamic loads such as earthquake loads were evaluated based on laboratory test results for reconstituted weathered residual soils.

Among a variety of influencing components, time-variant seepage and long-term underground motion are important to understand the abnormal behavior of tunnels. Excessiveness of these two components could be the direct cause of severe damage on tunnels, however, it is not easy to quantify the effect of these on the behavior of tunnels. These parameters can be estimated by using inverse methods once the appropriate relationship between inputs and results is clarified. Various inverse methods or parameter estimation techniques such as artificial neural network and least square method can be used depending on the characteristics of given problems. Numerical analyses, experiments, or monitoring results are frequently used to prepare a set of inputs and results to establish the back analysis models. In this study, a back analysis method has been developed to estimate geotechnically hard-to-known parameters such as permeability of tunnel filter, underground water table, long-term rock mass load, size of damaged zone associated with seepage and long-term underground motion. The artificial neural network technique is adopted and the numerical models developed in the first part are used to prepare a set of data for learning process. Tunnel behavior, especially the displacements of the lining, has been exclusively investigated for the back analysis.

Load Resistance Factor Design method is used increasingly in geotechnical design world widely and resistance factors for drilled shafts are suggested by AASHTO. However, these resistance factors are determined for intact rock conditions; by comparison, most of bedrocks in Korea have weathered condition, so that applying the AASHTO resistance factors is not reasonable. Thus, this study suggests the proper resistance factors for design of drilled shaft in Korea. The 22 cases of pile load test data from 8 sites were chosen and reliability-based approach is used to analyze the data. Reliability analysis was performed by First Order Second Moment Method (FOSM) applying 4 bearing capacity equations. As a result, when the Factor of Safety (FOS) was selected as 3.0, the target reliability indexes (${\beta}_c$) were evaluated as 2.01~2.30. Resistance factors and load factors are determined from optimization based on above results. The resistance factors ranged between 0.48 and 0.56 and load factors for dead load and live load are evaluated as approximately 1.25 and 1.75 respectively. However, when the target reliabilities are considered as 3.0, the resistance factors are evaluated as approximately 50% of the results when the target reliability index was 2.0.

OWEC (Overtopping Wave Energy Converter) is a wave power generation system using the wave overtopping. The performance and safety of the OWEC are affected by wave characteristics, such as wave height, period. To mitigate this issue, optimal OWEC designs based on wave characteristics must be investigated. In this study, the environmental conditions along the Ulleungdo coast were used. The hydraulic efficiency of the OWEC was calculated using SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) by comparing 4 models that changed the substructure. As a result, it was possible to change the substructure. Through design optimization, a new truss-type structure, which is a substructure capable of carrying the design load, was proposed. Through a case study using member diameter and thickness as design variables, structural safety was secured under allowable stress conditions. Considering wave load, the natural frequency of the proposed structure was compared with the wave period of the relevant sea area. Harmonic response analysis was performed using wave with a 1-year return period as the load. The proposed substructure had a reduced response magnitude at the same exciting force, and achieved weight reduction of more than 32%.

Field에 설치된 PV모듈은 가혹한 외부 환경에 노출되어 외부 하중, 온도 변화, 자외선, 수분 등의 영향을 받게 된다. 특히 PV모듈 내부로 수분이 침투 하였을 경우에는 태양전지와 전극의 부식 등 발전성능을 크게 저하시킬 수 있다. 이러한 외부 환경으로부터 태양전지가 안정적으로 발전할 수 있도록 PV 모듈은 전면재료인 유리와 후면재료인 Back Sheet를 진공 상태에서 압력을 가해 봉합하는 Lamination 공정을 거쳐 제작 되어 진다. 특히 Lamination 공정에 사용되는 EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate)는 PV모듈의 내구성능을 좌우할 수 있는 가장 중요한 재료중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 Lamination 공정에 사용되어지는 EVA의 수분 침투의 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 공정 조건에 따른 EVA에 침투 되는 수분의 양을 확인하기 위해 Lamination 공정 조건을 변경하여 실험을 진행하였다. 그리고 외부 환경 변화에 의한 영향을 확인하기 위해 EVA가 수분에 노출 되는 시간과 온도를 변화시켜 보았다. 실험의 결과는 외부에 노출된 PV 모듈의 내부에 침투할 수 있는 수분의 양을 예상할 수 있게 하며, 수분 침투에 의한 내구성의 저하를 감소시키기 위한 최적의 Lamination 공정 조건과 봉합재 선정을 위한 기초 자료를 제공한다.

일찌기 20세기 초반부터 지구의 마지막 남은 자원의 보고로서 또한 미래의 생화공간으로서 해양에 대한 관심이 고조되어 왔다. 해양의 에너지/광물 자원의 개발을 위한 노력은 이미 1950년대 부터 시작되어 상당한 가시적인 성과를 얻고 있다. 최근에는 특히 환경보존에 대한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 육상기피시설물(공항, 폐기물 처리시설, 원자력 발전설비 등)들의 부지확보 문제를 해결하기 위하여 해양공간을 활용하는 방안이 선진각국에서 연구되고 있으며, 그중 가장 타당성이 높은 방안의 하난로서 각종 생산활동을 위한 플랜트를 대형 부유구조물 위에 설치하는 해상플랜트(Barge Mounted Plant, BMP)가 제안되고 있다. 원자력 발전설비를 비롯한 대형 프랜트를 부유구조물 위에 설치할 경우, 지진의 영향을 극소화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 해상의 파도, 조류, 바람, 일사에 의한 갑판의 열변형 등 불규칙적인 환경하중에 노출되므로 이러한 환경조건하에서 구조물이 설계 수명 동안 안전하게 기능을 다할 수 있는지를 세심하게 검토할 필요가 있다. 따라서 BMP의 안전성 평가방법에 대한 신뢰도를 높이고 평가결과에 대한 합리성을 제고하는 한편, 이를 바타응로 현재까지는 설계/건조 경험이 전무한 초대형 부유구조물의 구조설계와 관련된 기초기술 및 응용기술을 확보하는 문제는 가장 시급히 해결되어야 할 부분이다.
