Due to the non-uniform distribution of meso-structure, the diffusion of chloride ions in concrete show the characteristics of characteristics of randomness and fuzziness, which leads to the non-uniform distribution of chloride ions and the non-uniform corrosion of steel rebar in concrete. This phenomenon is supposed as the main reason causing the uncertainty of the bearing capacity deterioration of reinforced concrete structures. In order to analyze and predict the durability of reinforced concrete structures under chloride environment, the random features of chloride ions transport in concrete were studied in this research from in situ meso-structure of concrete. Based on X-ray CT technology, the spatial distribution of coarse aggregates and pores were recognized and extracted from a cylinder concrete specimen. In considering the influence of ITZ, the in situ mesostructure of concrete specimen was reconstructed to conduct a numerical simulation on the diffusion of chloride ions in concrete, which was verified through electronic microprobe technology. Then a stochastic study was performed to investigate the distribution of chloride ions concentration in space and time. The research indicates that the influence of coarse aggregate on chloride ions diffusion is the synthetic action of tortuosity and ITZ effect. The spatial distribution of coarse aggregates and pores is the main reason leading to the non-uniform distribution of chloride ions both in spatial and time scale. The chloride ions concentration under a certain time and the time under a certain concentration both satisfy the Lognormal distribution, which are accepted by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Chi-square test. This research provides an efficient method for obtain mass stochastic data from limited but representative samples, which lays a solid foundation for the investigation on the service properties of reinforced concrete structures.

The aim of this study was to develop a new efficient strategy that uses the Vector form Intrinsic Finite-element (VFIFE) method to conduct the static and dynamic analyses of marine pipes. Nonlinear problems, such as large displacement, small strain, and contact and collision, can be analyzed using a unified calculation process in the VFIFE method according to the fundamental theories of point value description, path element, and reverse motion. This method enables analysis without the need to integrate the stiffness matrix of the structure, because only motion equations of particles established according to Newton's second law are required. These characteristics of the VFIFE facilitate the modeling and computation efficiencies in analyzing the nonlinear dynamic problem of flexible pipe with large deflections. In this study, a three-dimensional (3-D) dynamical model based on 3-D beam element was established according to the VFIFE method. The deep-sea flexible pipe was described by a set of spatial mass particles linked by 3-D beam element. The motion and configuration of the pipe are determined by these spatial particles. Based on this model, a simulation procedure to predict the 3-D dynamical behavior of flexible pipe was developed and verified. It was found that the spatial configuration and static internal force of the mining pipe can be obtained by calculating the stationary state of pipe motion. Using this simulation procedure, an analysis was conducted on the static and dynamic behaviors of the flexible mining pipe based on a 1000-m sea trial system. The results of the analysis proved that the VFIFE method can be efficiently applied to the static and dynamic analyses of marine pipes.

Response of buried flexible pipe-soil system is studied, through numerical analysis, with respect to deflection and buckling in a spatially varying soil media. In numerical modeling procedure, soil parameters are modeled as two-dimensional non-Gaussian homogeneous random field using Cholesky decomposition technique. Numerical analysis is performed using random field theory combined with finite difference numerical code FLAC 5.0 (2D). Monte Carlo simulations are performed to obtain the statistics, i.e., mean and variance of deflection and circumferential (buckling) stresses of buried flexible pipe-soil system in a spatially varying soil media. Results are compared and discussed in the light of available analytical solutions as well as conventional numerical procedures in which soil parameters are considered as uniformly constant. The statistical information obtained from Monte Carlo simulations is further utilized for the reliability analysis of buried flexible pipe-soil system with respect to deflection and buckling. The results of the reliability analysis clearly demonstrate the influence of extent of variation and spatial correlation structure of soil parameters on the performance assessment of buried flexible pipe-soil systems, which is not well captured in conventional procedures.

LTE-Advanced system has been deployed with 2 and 4 transmission antennas (Tx) while the specification supports up to 8Tx. Due to deployment space, antenna dimension and complexity, the needs of deploying 8Tx system has not been motivated by operators. Recently, three dimensional (3D) beamforming with active antenna has attracted significant attention in the wireless industry. By incorporating 2D active array into LTE-A systems, the system offers freedom in controlling radiation on elevation and horizontal dimension. When the number of antennas increases in the form of 2D arrangement, spatial separation can be realized simultaneously in horizontal and elevation domain and vertical beam-steering can increase SINR of UEs in high floors. In this paper, we study the system operations and implementations for supporting 3D beamforming with 8Tx antennas. In our schemes, by reusing the conventional CSI feedback framework, the system can operate 2D active array without harming the backward compatibility. Evaluation results show that 3D beamforming provides capacity boosting over the conventional 2D beamforming systems while keeping same antenna structure.

Spatial variations of a seismic wave are mainly wave passage and wave scattering. Wave passage effect is produced by changed characteristics of exciting seismic input motions applied to the bedrock. Modified input motions travel horizontally with time differences determined by apparent shear wave velocity of the bedrock. In this study, wave passage effect on the seismic response of a structure-soil system is investigated by modifying the finite element software of P3DASS (Pseudo 3-Dimensional Dynamic Analysis of a Structure-soil System) to apply inconsistent (time-delayed) seismic input motions along the soft soil-bedrock interface. Study results show that foundation size affected on the seismic response of a structure excited with inconsistent input motions in the lower period range below 0.5 seconds, and seismic responses of a structure were decreased considerably in the lower period range around 0.05 seconds due to the wave passage. Also, shear wave velocity of the bedrock affected on the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range below 0.3 seconds, with significant reduction of the seismic response for smaller shear wave velocity of the bedrock reaching approximately 20% for an apparent shear wave velocity of 1000m/s at a period of 0.05 seconds. Finally, it is concluded that wave passage effect reduces the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range when the bedrock under a soft soil is soft or the bedrock is located very deeply, and wave passage is beneficial for the seismic design of a short period structure like a nuclear container building or a stiff low-rise building.

디자인 과정과 실제 공간을 사용함에 있어 공간감을 이해하는 것이 매우 중요한 역할을 하는데, 동일한 공간이라도 어떻게 디자인하느냐에 따라 공간의 깊이감에 대한 지각이 달라질 수 있다. 공간의 3차원적인 속성인 넓이, 깊이, 높이 중 넓이와 높이감에 대한 이론과 연구들에 비해 깊이감에 대한 이론이나 연구는 상대적으로 적은데 이는 넓이나 높이에 비해 공간의 깊이감이 초래하는 효과에 대한 관심이 부족했던 원인으로 보인다. 본 연구는 Computer Graphic으로 제작한 실내공간을 대상으로 시선추적장치를 이용하여 깊이감에 대한 지각과정을 이해하고자 하였다. 44명의 실내디자인 전공 학생들이 실험에 참가하여 마주보이는 벽면에 깊이감을 자극하는 구성요소를 달리한 3개의 이미지를 보며 가장 깊어보이는 공간을 탐색하였다. 그 결과 3개의 이미지간에 주시시간의 차이가 나타났고, 가장 깊어 보이는 공간에 대한 응답에 따라서도 주의집중에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 발견되었다. 본 연구는 깊이감에 영향을 끼치는 요인과 기존 정설에 대한 정량적인 타당성을 제시하고, 이상적인 공간의 깊이감을 얻을 수 있는 디자인 방법 개발 등에 도움이 될 것으로 본다.

최근, 유럽이나 일본 등은 해빈유실방지대책공법의 하나이며, 잠제의 대안으로 여겨지는 저천단구조물(LCS)에 관한 많은 연구를 수행하였고, 그의 결과들을 집약하여 설계매뉴얼까지 편찬하였다. 지금까지 LCS에 관한 연구는 2차원적인 파랑전달율과 피복재의 안정중량산정에 치우쳐 있으며, 이들은 주로 실험에 기초하여 검토 논의되었다. 본 연구에서는 투과성의 LCS를 대상으로 3차원수치해석을 수행한다. 수치해석에 Navier-Stokes 운동방정식에 기반한 오픈소스 CFD Code인 olaFlow를 적용하였으며, 이는 쇄파와 난류해석까지도 가능한 강비선형해석법이다. 이로부터 수위, 흐름 및 난류운동에너지 등의 분포특성을 검토 논의하였으며, 동시에 잠제의 경우와도 비교 검토하였다. 이로부터 해안선 근방에서 연안류의 흐름패턴과 평균난류운동에너지의 연안방향 및 종단방향의 공간분포에 관해 잠제와 LCS의 경우에 각각 차이가 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과의 차이는 모래이동에서의 차이로 이어질 것으로 판단된다.
