This paper verified the lateral resisting capacity of CFT column-RC flat plate connection in comparison with general RC column-flat plate connection and detected moment capacity and ductility capacity of connection according to lateral force-displacement ratio. We made and tested specimens which have different variables respectively and as a result derive a following conclusion. In CFT specimen a critical section was extended and initial stiffness and moment increased 35%, 25$^{\sim}$35% respectively in comparison to general RC column specimen. In all specimens generally shear governed behaviors and in CFT specimen complemented with seismic band, flexure behavior region of slab was extended and also ductility ratio and energy absorptance increased.

Numerical analysis were executed in order to investigate ultimate lateral resistance of roots of vegetation. Ultimate lateral resistances of roots obtained from the assumed values of cohesions were distributed between the values of the two kinds of the existing studies. The ultimate lateral resistance values were more close to those by the bearing capacity solution than those by the cavity expansion theory. Coefficient of bearing capacity determined by the numerical analysis was 33. Yielding displacements obtained from the numerical analysis were 0.08~0.29 times of the diameter of the root and those were overall close to the value of the existing study which was undertaken for the pile diameter of 1 cm.

This paper proposes a new finite element formulation based on enhanced first-order shear deformation theory including the transverse normal strain effect via the mixed formulation (EFSDTM-TN) for the effective thermo-mechanical analysis of laminated composite structures. The main objective of the EFSDTM-TN is to provide an accurate and efficient solution in describing the thermo-mechanical behavior of laminated composite structures by systematically establishing the relationship between two independent fields (displacement and transverse stress fields) via the mixed formulation. Another key feature is to consider the thermal strain effect without additional unknown variables by introducing a refined transverse displacement field. In the finite element formulation, an eight-node isoparametric plate element is newly developed to implement the advantage of the EFSDTM-TN. Numerical solutions for the thermo-mechanical behavior of laminated composite structures are compared with those available in the open literature to demonstrate the numerical performance of the proposed finite element model.

In this paper we propose a method for measuring the shear modulus of an ultrasound soft tissue phantom using an acoustic radiation force. The proposed method quantitatively determines the shear modulus based on the rise time of a displacement induced by an acoustic radiation force at the focal point of a focused ultrasound beam. The shear wave speed and shear modulus obtained from the proposed method and a shear wave propagation method were compared to verify the validity of the proposed method. In the shear wave propagation method, the shear modulus is first computed by measuring the propagating speed of a shear wave induced in a phantom by a limited-diffraction transmit field, and then was compared to that obtained with the proposed method in an ultrasound data acquisition system calibrated based on the first computed shear modulus. The relative errors between the two methods were found to be 4% for shear wave speed and less than 9% for shear modulus, confirming the usefulness of the proposed method.

This study deals with the viscoelastic damper system with displacement-amplification unit (DAU) which can maximize the effectiveness of a damper system in controlling seismic response of a building by amplifying story drift induced to damper. DAUs in this study were analyzed to be able to amplify the displacement 2 to 4 times greater than the original story drift. The efficiency of each DAU was expressed by $\beta$ (DAU ratio) and examined in this analytical study.

구형 관입시험에 의한 얼음의 균열을 연구 하였다. $-10^{circ}C$에서 S2 기둥얼음의 시편(152mm X 152mm X 152mm)에 stainless 강으로 된 구(지름 25.4mm)로 하중을 가하였다. 구형indentor는 얼음 시편의 장축인 기둥방향에 수직으로 하중을 가하였으며 이때 변위율은 0.038mm/s로 하여 단조증가 하중 시험을 하였다. 하중을 가하기 시작하면 indentor 하부에서 crushing 이 발생하고, 하중이 증가함에 따라서 방사선 균열 또는 횡균열이 성장하여 splitting 또는 spallation이 발생하였다. 단조증가 하중 때와 동일한 indentor를 사용하여 하중 및 비하중율 0.5KN/s로 맥박하중을 가할 때 이들 방사선 균열 및 횡 균열이 발생 성장하였다. 첫 맥박 하중의 크기는 1KN으로 하고 그 뒤 계속 이어지는 시험은 맥박 하중의 크기를 증가시킨 뒤 행하였으며 균열 길이는 맥박과 맥박 사이에서 계측 하였다. 기타 취성고체에서 관찰 되었던 것과 같이 방사선 균열 및 측면균열의 길이는 impression 반지름과 하나의 지수법칙이 성립함을 보여주었다.

입면의 형태가 임의의 층에서 큰 차이를 보이는 3차원 비정형 setback 구조물의 동적 거동 특성과 이들 구조물의 동적 거동에 미치는 바닥 슬래브의 면내 변형 효과를 분석하였다. 비정형 setback 구조물의 전반적인 동적 거동특성을 분석하기 위하여 베이스 부분의 평면적과 타워 부분의 평면적 비(R?), setback 발생위치(L?)등을 매개 변수로 사용하였다. 48개의 비정형 setback 구조물들에 대한 해석 수행 결과 setback 구조물은 정형 구조물에 비해 횡방향 1차 모드의 유효 모드 중량(effective modal weight)이 작게 나타나는 경향을 보이기 때문에 setback 구조물의 동적 거동을 파악하기 위해서는 등가 정적 해석법 대신에 동적 해석을 수행할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 바닥슬래브의 면내 변형은 보다 긴 구조물의 고유 진동 주기값을 가져오며 모드 순서 및 모드 형상에도 변화를 준다. 이러한 사실은 바닥슬래브의 면내 변형으로 인하여 횡방향 저항 요소들간의 전단력 분포와 층 변위가 영향을 받을 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 현상은 횡방향 저항 요소들간의 강성 차가 심한 프레임-전단벽 시스템에서 두드러지게 나타난다.

Recently, new experimental criteria for reinforced concrete frame structures in high seismic regions have been reported in United States. The objective of the criteria is to get more reliable test data which are valid to compare with other test data done by different researchers. The criteria precribe test method of specimens, analysis method of test data, and limiting values needed to specimens like drift angle, energey dissipation ratio, stiffness, and strength. These criteria might be usefel to get objective conclusion. Shear wall structures, which belong to one of earthquake resisting systems, also need this kind of criteria. But, the general response of shear wall structures is a little bit different from that of frame structures since shear wall restrains the horizontal displacement caused by horizontal force and increases the stiffness and strength. The objective of this paper is to propose a criterion for limiting drift and energy dissipation ratio of shear walls based on structural testing. These are the most important values for presenting the capacity of shear walls. Limiting drift and energy dissipation ratios were examined for tests on shear walls having ductile type failures. Test data were analyzed and compared to the results for a suggested acceptance criteria that involve a limiting drift that is a function of aspect ratio and a limiting energy dissipation ratio that is a function of displacement ductility and damping.

The mechanical behavior of a micropile due to horizontal load has not yet clearly identified in Korea. It has generally estimated from that of a traditional pile because there is no standard method even though it has shorter length. To tell the truth, its behavior is very different from a traditional pile's. Specifically, it is general fact that horizontal resistance of earth is one of the main factors to control the mechanical behavior of micropile. To this reason, a laboratory model has been made in this study to estimate the behavior of a micropile which loaded increasingly horizontally. The laboratory model has been designed to estimate both the behavior of load to displacement and skin friction to displacement. And the analysis of the latter was compared with the solution of strain wedge model. In the end, it was proved that the mechanical behavior of a micropile should be estimated from considering the horizontal resistance of earth.

Since the bridge is the main facility of the road that is the core of the civil infrastructure, the bridge is constructed to ensure stability and serviceability during the traffic use. In order to secure the safety of bridges, evaluating the integrity of bridges at present is an important task in the maintenance work of bridges. In general, to evaluate the load carrying capacity of bridges, it is possible to confirm the superimposed behavior and symmetric behavior of bridges by estimating the lateral load distribution factor of the bridges through vehicle loading tests. However, in order to measure the lateral load distribution factor of a commonly used bridge, a static loading test is performed. There is a difficulty in traffic control. Therefore, in this study, the static displacement component of the bridge measured in the dynamic loading test and the ambient vibration test was extracted by using empirical mode decomposition technique. The lateral load distribution was estimated using the extracted static displacement component and compared with the lateral load distribution factor measured in the static loading test.
