  • 최근 해양구조물의 건설이 활발해짐에 따라 해상 부유식 구조체를 경제적으로 지지할 수 있는 새로운 기초형식을 개발하려는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 대구경 단일형 석션파일 대신에 다수의 중구경 석션파일을 콘크리트 파일캡으로 결합한 그룹형 석션파일 형식에 대하여 연구하였다. 해상 부유식 구조체에 사용되는 기초의 경우 수평방향 하중이 지배적이므로 그룹형 석션파일의 수평방향 지지거동을 3차원 유한요소 해석을 통해 분석하였다. 그룹형 석션파일은 근입깊이가 얕아서 강체기초 거동을 하게 되므로 수평방향 거동을 분석할 때 지표면 부근의 낮은 구속압을 받는 지반의 정밀한 거동 모사가 필요하다. 이를 위하여, 탄성계수, 지반강도 등을 지반 구속압에 따라 증가되도록 모델링하였다. 해석조건은 석션파일 중심간 거리, 그리고 사질토와 점성토의 지반조건 등을 변화시키며 변수연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 석션파일 사이의 간격이 증가함에 따라 점차 항복하중이 증가하였으며, 그룹형 석션파일의 항복하중은 S/D=5인 경우 회전을 허용한 단일형 석션파일 항복하중의 약 3배인 것으로 나타났다.

  • 이 논문에서는 내진상세가 적용되지 않은 RC골조의 지진 거동 특성을 파악하였다. 해석 대상 건물은 내진 규준의 적용을 받지 않고 중력하중만을 고려하여 설계되었다. 원형철근이 주철근으로 사용되었으며, 부재는 낮은 수준의 전단력을 견딜 수 있는 최소한의 스터럽이 사용되어 코어 부분의 구속효과는 거의 없다. 평면비정형성을 가진 건물의 경우, 푸쉬오버 해석을 통해서는 비틀림으로 인한 평면상에서 연단부의 손상집중을 파악할 수 없으므로 비선형 동적해석을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 섬유요소를 이용한 비선형 동적해석은 양방향 지진하중과 비틀림 거동의 영향을 받는 RC골조의 거동을 성공적으로 예측할 수 있었다. 하지만, 보다 진보된 응답 예측을 위해서는 부착 미끄러짐과 같은 보-기둥 접합부의 국부거동을 정밀하게 나타내는 모델링 요소의 개발이 필요하다.

  • Introduction: GTPases known as translation factor play a vital role as ribosomal subunit assembly chaperone. The bacterial Obg proteins ($Spo{\underline{0B}}$-associated ${\underline{G}}TP$-binding protein) belong to the subfamily of P-loop GTPase proteins and now it is considered as one of the new target for antibacterial drug. The majority of bacterial Obgs have been commonly found to be associated with ribosome, implying that these proteins may play a fundamental role in ribosome assembly or maturation. In addition, one of the experimental evidences suggested that Bacillus subtilis Obg (BsObg) protein binds to the L13 ribosomal protein (BsL13) which is known to be one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit in Escherichia coli. In order to investigate binding mode between the BsObg and the BsL13, protein-protein docking simulation was carried out after generating 3D structure of the BsL13 structure using homology modeling method. Materials and Methods: Homology model structure of BsL13 was generated using the EcL13 crystal structure as a template. Protein-protein docking of BsObg protein with ribosomal protein BsL13 was performed by DOT, a macro-molecular docking software, in order to predict a reasonable binding mode. The solvated energy minimization calculation of the docked conformation was carried out to refine the structure. Results and Discussion: The possible binding conformation of BsL13 along with activated Obg fold in BsObg was predicted by computational docking study. The final structure is obtained from the solvated energy minimization. From the analysis, three important H-bond interactions between the Obg fold and the L13 were detected: Obg:Tyr27-L13:Glu32, Obg:Asn76-L13:Glu139, and Obg:Ala136-L13:Glu142. The interaction between the BsObg and BsL13 structures were also analyzed by electrostatic potential calculations to examine the interface surfaces. From the results, the key residues for hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction between the two proteins were predicted. Conclusion and Prospects: In this study, we have focused on the binding mode of the BsObg protein with the ribosomal BsL13 protein. The interaction between the activated Obg and target protein was investigated with protein-protein docking calculations. The binding pattern can be further used as a base for structure-based drug design to find a novel antibacterial drug.

  • 'Eve 58-1', the subject of this study is a statue made of plaster and its structural stability was evaluated by utilizing the CAE program in order to prevent the risk of damage arising from impact and vibration that are generated during the packaging and transportation process given its material characteristics. CAE is an abbreviation for Computer Applied Engineering for realization by predicting changes at the time of application of virtual physical energy. It is applied by reflecting the physical property conditions and each boundary condition of plaster, and the digital images of the internal and external structure of the work were acquired through 3D scanning and CT analysis for interpretation by executing finite element modeling. When acceleration is applied to the work in the direction of its own weight, the left-right side and the front-rear side, it was possible to confirm a maximum displacement value of 15.24 mm in the head section of the front-rear side direction that has been tilted by approximately 27° from the Y-axis and the largest stress value of 12.46 MPa was at the left ankle section. The corresponding results confirmed that the left ankle section is the most vulnerable area and the section for which precautions need to be exercised and supplemented at the time of transporting the work by means of objective values.

  • We developed a three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation code to reproduce the structure of a solar wind and the propagation of a coronal mass ejection (CME) through it. This code is constructed by a finite volume method based on a total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme using an unstructured grid system (Tanaka 1994). The grid system can avoid the singularity arising in the spherical coordinate system. In this study, we made an improvement of the code focused on the propagation of a CME through a solar wind, which extends a previous work done by Nakamizo et al. (2009). We first reconstructed a solar wind in a steady state from physical values obtained at 50 solar radii away from the Sun via an MHD tomography applied to interplanetary scintillation (IPS) data (Hayashi et al. 2003). We selected CR2057 and inserted a spheromak-type CME (Kataoka et al. 2009) into a reconstructed solar wind. As a result, we found that our simulation well captures the velocity, temperature and density profiles of an observed solar wind. Furthermore, we successfully reproduce the general characteristics of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) obtained by the Helios 1/2 spacecraft (R. J. FORSYTH et al. 2006).

  • Cast in situ and grouted concrete helical piles with 150-200 mm diameter half cylindrical ribs have become an economical and effective choice in Shanghai, China for uplift piles in deep soft soils. Though this type of pile has been successful used in practice, the reinforcing mechanism and the contribution of the ribs to the total resistance is not clear, and there is no clear guideline for the design of such piles. To study the inclusion of ribs to the contribution of shear resistance, the shear behaviour between silty sand and concrete slabs with parallel ribs at different spacing and angles were tested in a large direct shear box ($600mm{\times}400mm{\times}200mm$). The front panels of the shear box are detachable to observe the soil deformation after the test. The tests were modelled with three-dimensional finite element method in ABAQUS. It was found that, passive zones can be developed ahead of the ribs to form undulated failure surfaces. The shear resistance and failure mode are affected by the ratio of rib spacing to rib diameter. Based on the shape and continuity of the failure zones at the interface, the failure modes at the interface can be classified as "punching", "local" or "general" shear failure respectively. With the inclusion of the ribs, the pull out resistance can increase up to 17%. The optimum rib spacing to rib diameter ratio was found to be around 7 based on the observed experimental results and the numerical modelling.

  • We report on multi-wavelength observations of AA Ori, a Young Stellar Object in Orion-A star-forming region. AA Ori is known to have a pre-transitional disk based on infrared observations including Spitzer/IRS data. We construct its broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) by not only taking data in the optical and IR region but also including Herschel/PACS, JCMT/SCUBA, and SMA observational data. We use the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code (RADMC-3D) to reconstruct the SED with a viscous accretion disk model initialized by a radially continuous disk and finally having an inner and outer dusty disk separated by a dust-depleted radial gap. By comparing the model SEDs with different configurations of disk parameters, we discuss the limits to find a single solution of model parameters to fit the data. We suggest that some models with a modified inner disk surface density gradient and some degree of dust depletion in the inner disk can explain the AA Ori's SED, from which we infer that the inner disk of AA Ori has evolved. We present that model configurations of a pre-transitional disk with a large gap extended to 60-80 AU in a settled dusty disk of a few hundred AU size with a high inclination angle (~60°) also create model SEDs close to the observed one. To distinguish whether the disk has a just-opened narrow gap or a large gap, with an altered surface density of the inner disk extended to 10 AU, we suggest a further investigation of AA Ori with high angular resolution observations.

  • Wind turbines are usually steel hollow structures that can be vulnerable to dramatic failures due to high-intensity wind (HIW) events, which are classified as a category of localized windstorms that includes tornadoes and downbursts. Analyzing Wind Turbines (WT) under tornadoes is a challenging-to-achieve task because tornadoes are much more complicated wind fields compared with the synoptic boundary layer wind fields, considering that the tornado's 3-D velocity components vary largely in space. As a result, the supporting tower of the wind turbine and the blades will experience different velocities depending on the location of the event. Wind farms also extend over a large area so that the probability of a localized windstorm event impacting one or more towers is relatively high. Therefore, the built-in-house numerical code "HIW-WT" has been developed to predict the straining actions on the blades considering the variability of the tornado's location and the blades' pitch angle. The developed HIWWT numerical model incorporates different wind fields that were generated from developed CFD models. The developed numerical model was applied on an actual wind turbine under three different tornadoes that have different tornadic structure. It is found that F2 tornado wind fields present significant hazard for the wind turbine blades and have to be taken into account if the hazardous impact of this type of unexpected load is to be avoided.

  • 동해의 남서쪽해역에 위치하고 있는 독도는 플라이오세에 생성된 화산섬으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 기존의 연구들은 독도 자체의 암석학적인 연구에만 초점을 두어 독도 하부의 화산체에 대한 형태 및 내부구조를 명확하게 알 수 없었다. 따라서 본 연구는 다중빔 음향측심, 32채널 탄성파 탐사 및 3D 중력모델링을 통하여 이와 같은 특성들을 알아내고자 하였다. 연구지역에는 3개의 지형학적인 고지대가 발달되어 있으며 이 고지대들은 일반적인 해산의 특성을 지니고 있어 본 연구에서는 이 고지대를 독도해산, 탐해해산. 동해해산이라 명명하였다. 그리고 연구지역에 발달한 퇴적층의 두께를 규명하기 위하여 32채널 탄성파 탐사를 수행하였다. 취득된 탄성파 자료에 의하면 해산들의 정상부분에는 퇴적물이 거의 퇴적되어 있지 않으나 해산들로부터 멀어질수록 퇴적층이 발달하기 시작하여 연구지역의 서쪽에서는 2000m이상의 두꺼운 퇴적층이 발달하고 있으며 연구지역의 남쪽 및 북쪽지역에서는 약 1000m두께의 퇴적층이 나타난다. 후리-에어 중력이상은 연구지역의 서쪽에서는 -20mGa1 이하의 값을 보이고 있으나 해산 쪽으로 갈수록 점점 증가하여 독도해산의 정상부분에서는 120 mGal 이상, 탐해해산 및 동해해산의 경우 각각 90 mGal 및 70mGa1이상의 후리-에어이상을 보이고 있다. 그리고 연구지역에 나타나는 해산들은 모두 그 중앙부에 독립된 화도(volcanic conduit)를 지니고 있으며 0.5~l.5 km 두께의 광역보상뿌리(regional compensation root)를 형성하고 있다. 연구지역의 해산들이 보여주고 있는 평탄한 정상부는 해수의 침식에 의하여 생성되었으며 이러한 정상부는 평탄한지형이 생성될 당시의 해수면을지시하며 현재 해수면의 위치와 동해에서의 일어난 해저면의 침강정도(subsidence level)를 비교하여 볼 때 해산들은 생성된 이후 약 200~300m정도 침강되었고 형성시기는 최소 12~10Ma이전 인 것으로 사료된다.

  • 리모델링은 기존 건물을 완전 철거하지 않고 구조체의 일부만을 철거하여 자원의 재활용 이라는 측면에서 매우 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 그러나 리모델링의 경우에 신축과 달리 철거와 보수보강 공사가 추가되고, 다수의 발주자 조직으로 인한 의사결정에 어려움이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 건물의 라이프사이클 동안에 발생하는 정보를 생산하고 관리하는 통합 도구로서 BIM이 해결 방안으로서 가능성을 가지고 있다. 그러나 현재 BIM의 경우 신축 공사시 3D 모델을 통한 간섭체크나 디자인 대안 결정에 주로 활용하고 있으며, 공사비 산출 등을 위한 BIM 데이터베이스의 경우 신축사의 BIM 적용을 위한 프레임웍과 BIM 데이터베이스를 제시하고 사례적용을 통하여 리모델링 공사를 위한 BIM 데이터베이스의 적용 가능성을 검증하고자 하였다.
