In this study, the pull-out behavior of a tunnel-type anchorage for suspension bridges was investigated using experimental tests and image processing analyses. The study focused on evaluating the initial failure behavior and failure mode of the tunnel-type anchorage. In order to evaluate the failure mode of tunnel-type anchorage, a series of scaled model tests were conducted based on the prototype anchorage of the Ulsan Grand Bridge. In the model tests, the anchorage body and surrounding rocks were fabricated using a gypsum mixture. The pull-out behavior was investigated under plane strain conditions. The results of the model tests demonstrate that the tunnel-type anchorage underwent a wedge-shaped failure. In addition, the failure mode changed according to the differences in the physical properties of the surrounding rock and the anchorage body and the size of the anchor plate. The size of the anchor plate was found to be an important parameter that determines the failure mode. However, the difference in physical properties between the surrounding rock and the anchorage body did not affect its size. In addition, this study analyzed the initial failure behavior of the tunnel-type anchorage through image analysis and confirmed that the failure was sequentially transferred from the inside of the tunnel to the surrounding rock according to the image analysis. The reasonable failure mode for the design of the tunnel-type anchorage should be wedge-type rather than pull-out type.

The anchor-free object detector CenterNet regards the object as a center point and predicts it based on the Gaussian circle region. For each object's center point, CenterNet directly regresses the width and height of the objects and finally gets the boundary range of the objects. However, the critical range of the object's center point can not be accurately limited by using the Gaussian circle region to constrain the prediction region, resulting in many low-quality centers' predicted values. In addition, because of the large difference between the width and height of different objects, directly regressing the width and height will make the model difficult to converge and lose the intrinsic relationship between them, thereby reducing the stability and consistency of accuracy. For these problems, we proposed a center point prediction method based on the Gaussian elliptic region and a size component regression method based on the small solution space. First, we constructed a Gaussian ellipse region that can accurately predict the object's center point. Second, we recode the width and height of the objects, which significantly reduces the regression solution space and improves the convergence speed of the model. Finally, we jointly decode the predicted components, enhancing the internal relationship between the size components and improving the accuracy consistency. Experiments show that when using CenterNet as the improved baseline and Hourglass-104 as the backbone, on the MS COCO dataset, our improved model achieved 44.7%, which is 2.6% higher than the baseline.

This paper presents a numerical study on structural behavior of hammer head pier cap beams, extended on verges and reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. A 3-D finite element (FE) model along with a simplified analytical model are presented. Concrete damage plasticity (CDP) was adapted in the FE model and an analytical approach predicting the CFRP anchor strength was adapted in both FE and analytical model. Total five quarter-scaled pier cap beams with various CFRP reinforcing schemes were experimentally tested and analyzed with numerical approaches. Comparison between experimental results, FE results, analytical results and current ACI guideline predictions was presented. The FE results showed good agreement with experimental results in terms of failure mode, ultimate capacity, load-displacement response and strain distribution. In addition, the proposed strut-and-tie based analytical model provides the most accurate prediction of ultimate strength of extended cap beams among the three numerical approaches.

본고에서는 Tversky and Kahneman(1974)의 기준점 효과와 Kahneman and Tversky(1979)의 전망이론으로 해석이 가능한 현상이 우리나라 자산시장에 동시에 나타나는지를 주가 및 부동산 가격을 대상으로 검증하였다. 전망이론의 경우 위험 회피 성향 투자자가 가격 상승 시 매각을 선호하는 것으로 예측하는데, 본고는 이런 성향이 자산가격 수익의 변동성이 증가하는 경우 더 강화되는 것으로 보았다. 1990년대 이후 우리나라 자료를 바탕으로 실증분석한 결과, 과거 수익률이 양(+)인 경우, 주가수익률은 과거 20 또는 30 영업일 자료(window)를 이용하여 산출한 변동성에, 아파트를 제외한 주택가격 수익률은 과거 24~36개월의 자료를 이용하여 산출한 변동성에 각각 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, there has been significant interest in structural health monitoring for civil engineering applications. In this research, a specially designed tendon, proposed by embedding FBG sensors into the center king cable of a 7-wire strand tendon, was applied for long-term health monitoring of tensile forces on a ground anchor. To make temperature independent sensors, the effective temperature compensation of FBG sensors must be considered. The temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}$ of the FBG sensors embedded tendon was successfully determined to be $2.0{\times}10^{-5}^{\circ}C^{-1}$ through calibrated tests in both a model rock body and a laboratory heat chamber. Furthermore, the obtained result for ${\beta}^{\prime}$ was formally verified through the ground temperature measurement test, expectedly. As a result, the ground temperature measured by a thermometer showed good agreement compared to that measured by the proposed FBG sensor, which was calibrated considering to the temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}$. Finally, four prototype ground anchors including two tension ground anchors and two compression ground anchors made by replacing a tendon with the proposed smart tendon were installed into an actual slope at the Yeosu site. Tensile forces, after temperature compensation was taken into account using the verified temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}$ and ground temperature obtained from the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) have been monitored for over one year, and the results were very consistent to those measured from the load cell, interestingly.

We propose an effective methodology using electromechanical impedance characteristics for estimating the remaining tensile force of tendons and simultaneously detecting damages of the anchorage blocks. Once one piezoelectric patch is attached on the anchor head and the other is bonded on the bearing plate, impedance responses are measured through these two patches under varying tensile force conditions. Then statistical indices are calculated from the impedances, and two types of relationship curves between the tensile force and the statistical index (TE Curve) and between statistical indices of two patches (SR Curve) are established. Those are considered as database for monitoring both the tendon and the anchorage system. If damage exists on the bearing plate, the statistical index of patch on the bearing plate would be out of bounds of the SR curve and damage can be detected. A change in the statistical index by damage is calibrated with the SR curve, and the tensile force can be estimated with the corrected index and the TE Curve. For validation of the developed methodology, experimental studies are performed on the scaled model of an anchorage system that is simplified only with 3 solid wedges, a 3-hole anchor head, and a bearing plate. Then, the methodology is applied to a real scale anchorage system that has 19 strands, wedges, an anchor head, a bearing plate, and a steel duct. It is observed that the proposed scheme gives quite accurate estimation of the remaining tensile forces. Therefore, this methodology has great potential for practical use to evaluate the remaining tensile forces and damage status in the post-tensioned structural members.

This paper proposes a new referential model for data retrieval as an alternative to exact matching. While exact matching is an effective data retrieval model, it is based on fairly strict assumptions and limits our capabilities in data retrieval. This study redefines data retrieval to include non-binary data retrieval in addition to binary data retrieval, proposes Double Anchor Preference Model (DAPM), and analyzes its logical charateristics. DAPM supports non-binary data retrieval. Further, it produces the same result as exact matching for the conventional binary data retrieval. These findings show that, at the logical level, the proposed DAPM retains all the desirable features for data retrieval.

본 논문에서는 현수선 모델에 기초를 둔 해석방법을 사용하여 부유쓰레기 차단막에 작용하는 흐름에 의한 장력 및 항력을 계산하였다. 흐름에 의한 항력우 차단막의 법선방향으로만 작동하여 차단막에 걸리는 장력은 일정하다고 가정하였다. 계산 모델로 차단막이 흐름방향과 대칭으로 설치된 경우와 비대칭으로 설치된 경우를 다루었다. 형상계수와 설치각도와 같은 차단막의 설치형상을 바꿔가면서 차단막에 작용하는 장력과 항력의 변화를 살펴보았다 계산 결과는 형상계수가 증가함에 따라 장력계수도 커지며 형상계수가 큰 범위에서는 장력계수의 증가폭이 커짐을 보여주고 있다 또한 차단막을 흐름방향과 비대칭으로 설치하였을 때 경사각도를 증가시키면 장력계수가 줄어든다는 사실을 발견하였다 계산모델은 한강 지류인 탄천에 설치한 길이 200m의 부유쓰레기 차단막에 적용하였다. 계산결과에 의하면 차단막 양 끝단에 설치한 앵커블록이 견딜 수 있는 최대 흐름속도는 2m/sec이다.

앵커의 활동억지효과를 조사하기 위하여 일련의 모형실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 앵커가 설치된 사면에 대한 모형실험 장치를 고안하였다. 그리고 모형실험시 각종 계측시스템을 이용하여 사면활동에 따른 앵커의 축력변화를 조사하였다. 모형실험결과 앵커의 면적비를 0.5%로 설치할 경우 네일의 사면활동에 대한 억지효과가 가장 크게 발휘된다. 앵커축력의 초기손실율은 초기인장력의 약 24%로 나타났다. 이는 기존의 현장실험결과(윤중만, 1997)에서 제안된 10%~25%의 범위와 일치함을 알 수 있다. 그리고 앵커의 유효인장력은 초기인장력의 70%에 해당하므로, 앵커의 초기인장력은 설계인장력보다 30%정도 증가하여 설계하여야 할 것이다. 한편, 앵커의 초기인장력이 증가하게 되면 사면지반의 상대밀도가 증가되어 사면은 취성파괴의 거동을 보임을 알 수 있다.

An experimental investigation into the uplift capacity of horizontal square plate anchors in sand with and without geogrid reinforcement is reported. The parameters investigated are the effect of the depth of the single layer of geogrid, vertical spacing of geogrid layers, number of geogrid layers, length of geogrid layers, the effects of embedment depth, and relative density of sand. A series of three dimensional finite element analyses model was established and confirmed to be effective in capturing the behaviour of plate anchor-reinforced sand by comparing its predictions with experimental results. The results showed that the geogrid reinforcement had a considerable effect on the uplift capacity of horizontal square plate anchors in sand. The improvement in uplift capacity was found to be strongly dependent on the embedment depth and relative density of sand. A satisfactory agreement between the experimental and numerical results on general trend of behaviour and optimum geometry of reinforcement placement is observed. Based on the model test results and the finite element analyses, optimum values of the geogrid parameters for maximum reinforcing effect are discussed and suggested.
