A deep recursive bidirectional Cuda Deep Neural Network Long Short Term Memory (Bi-CuDNNLSTM) layer is recruited in this paper to predict the entire force time histories, and the corresponding hysteresis and backbone curves of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers using experimental fast and slow cyclic tests. The proposed stacked Bi-CuDNNLSTM layers involve multiple uncertain input variables, including horizontal actuator displacements, vertical actuators axial loads, the effective height of the bridge pier, the moment of inertia, and mass. The functional application programming interface in the Keras Python library is utilized to develop a deep learning model considering all the above various input attributes. To have a robust and reliable prediction, the dataset for both the fast and slow cyclic tests is split into three mutually exclusive subsets of training, validation, and testing (unseen). The whole datasets include 17 RC bridge piers tested experimentally ten for fast and seven for slow cyclic tests. The results bring to light that the mean absolute error, as a loss function, is monotonically decreased to zero for both the training and validation datasets after 5000 epochs, and a high level of correlation is observed between the predicted and the experimentally measured values of the force time histories for all the datasets, more than 90%. It can be concluded that the maximum mean of the normalized error, obtained through Box-Whisker plot and Gaussian distribution of normalized error, associated with unseen data is about 10% and 3% for the fast and slow cyclic tests, respectively. In recapitulation, it brings to an end that the stacked Bi-CuDNNLSTM layer implemented in this study has a myriad of benefits in reducing the time and experimental costs for conducting new fast and slow cyclic tests in the future and results in a fast and accurate insight into hysteretic behavior of bridge piers.

말뚝의 하중전이거동 및 변형특성 해석을 위해 하중전이함수법이 널리 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 말뚝-지반의 상효작용 즉, 지반의 연속성을 고려한 하중전이해석에 고찰하였으며, Mindlin 해를 이용하여 이를 고려함으로써 말뚝의 실제 거동에 보다 부합되도록 수정된 하중전이 해석방법을 제안하였다. 이를 통해 말뚝-지반 상호작용의 영향인자인 말뚝직경-지반계수의 비$(D/E_s)$과 주면마찰력-재하하중의 비$(R_s/Q)$를 고려할 수 있었다. 제안된 하중전이함수법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 현장재하시험 사례와의 비교분석 결과, 제안된 해석방법은 암반 근입 현장타설말뚝의 하중-침하 거동 및 하중전이특성을 적절히 예측함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 내리기 시 파이프라인의 단면력 해석을 위한 합리적인 해석 모델을 제안했다. 본 해석 모델은 기하학적 특성과 경계조건을 고려하여 파이프라인을 분할한 후 two parameters Beam On Elastic Foundation과 Euler-Bernoulli 빔으로 모델링했다. 또한 파이프라인과 지반의 상호 작용 뿐만 아니라 파이프라인에 작용하는 축력을 했다. 기존 모델은 정형화된 하중 조건만 적용이 용이했으나 Segmented Pipeline Model로 정의된 제안 모델은 내리기 시 발생되는 대부분의 시공 조건에 대해 고려할 수 있다. 또한 가정을 최소화하고 요소를 세분화하여 모델링의 편의성과 적용성을 향상시켰다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 모델은 FE 모델에 대비 높은 정확도를 갖고 있으므로 내리기 시 파이프라인의 안전성 평가는 물론 형상관리에도 효율적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 시공 단계에서 파이프라인의 안전성을 확보함에 따라 운용 중 내구성 향상에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Rocks undergoing repeated loading and unloading over an extended period, such as due to earthquakes, human excavation, and blasting, may result in the gradual accumulation of stress and deformation within the rock mass, eventually reaching an unstable state. In this study, a CNN-CCM is proposed to address the mechanical behavior. The structure and hyperparameters of CNN-CCM include Conv2D layers × 5; Max pooling2D layers × 4; Dense layers × 4; learning rate=0.001; Epoch=50; Batch size=64; Dropout=0.5. Training and validation data for deep learning include 71 rock samples and 122,152 data points. The AI Rock Constitutive Model learned by CNN-CCM can predict strain values(ε₁) using Mass (M), Axial stress (σ₁), Density (ρ), Cyclic number (N), Confining pressure (σ₃), and Young's modulus (E). Five evaluation indicators R², MAPE, RMSE, MSE, and MAE yield respective values of 0.929, 16.44%, 0.954, 0.913, and 0.542, illustrating good predictive performance and generalization ability of model. Finally, interpreting the AI Rock Constitutive Model using the SHAP explaining method reveals that feature importance follows the order N > M > σ₁ > E > ρ > σ₃.Positive SHAP values indicate positive effects on predicting strain ε₁ for N, M, σ₁, and σ₃, while negative SHAP values have negative effects. For E, a positive value has a negative effect on predicting strain ε₁, consistent with the influence patterns of conventional physical rock constitutive equations. The present study offers a novel approach to the investigation of the mechanical constitutive model of rocks under cyclic loading and unloading conditions.

본 연구의 목적은 RC 전단벽의 구조성능 개선을 위한 보강방법을 연구하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 형상비가 2.2인 4개의 RC 전단벽 실험체를 제작하고 모르터로 단면을 증설하거나 강판 등으로 보강하는 방법으로 실험체의 휨성능을 향상시켰다. 보강이 완료된 실험체에 대하여 일정축력을 작용시킨 후 반복횡하중을 가력하여 구조성능을 평가하였다. 이때 작용시킨 횡력은 ACI에서 제시한 이력에 준하였다. 실험결과, 추가의 철근을 배치하고 단면을 증설한 경우에는 내력과 변형능력을 모두 증대시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며 특히, 단면증설과 함께 단부에 U형태로 용접철망으로 횡구속한 실험체의 경우에는 강도와 연성의 측면에서 가장 효율적인 보강으로 확인되었다. 강판으로 보강하는 방법은 항복이후 부재의 급격한 내력저하를 방지하고 부재의 변형능력을 상승시키는데 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

This paper discusses the study of concrete composite walls of algorithmic modeling, in which steel tubes are embedded. The load-bearing capacity of STHC composite walls increases with the increase of axial load coefficient, but its ductility decreases. The load-bearing capacity can be improved by increasing the strength of the steel pipes; however, the elasticity of STHC composite walls was found to be slightly reduced. As the shear stress coefficient increases, the load-bearing capacity of STHC composite walls decreases significantly, while the deformation resistance increases. By analyzing actual cases, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the research results in real situations and enhance the persuasiveness of the conclusions. The research results can provide a basis for future research, inspire more explorations on seismic design and construction, and further advance the development of this field. Emphasize the importance of research results, promote interdisciplinary cooperation in the fields of structural engineering, earthquake engineering, and materials science, and improve overall seismic resistance. The emphasis on these aspects will help highlight the practical impact of the research results, further strengthen the conclusions, and promote progress in the design and construction of earthquake-resistant structures. The goals of this work are access to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services, promotion of inclusive and sustainable urbanization and participation, implementation of sustainable and disaster-resilient architecture, sustainable planning and management of human settlements. Simulation results of linear and nonlinear structures show that this method can detect structural parameters and their changes due to damage and unknown disturbances. Therefore, it is believed that with the further development of fuzzy neural network artificial intelligence theory, this goal will be achieved in the near future.

The weakening and softening behavior of soft clay subjected to cyclic loading due to the build-up of excess pore water pressure is well-known. During the design stage of the foundation of highways and coastal high-rise buildings, it is important to study the mechanical behavior of marine soils under cyclic loading as they undergo greater settlement during cyclic loading than under static loading. Therefore, this research evaluates the cyclic stress-strain and shear strength of untreated and treated marine clay under the effects of wind, earthquake, and traffic loadings. A series of laboratory stress-controlled cyclic triaxial tests have been conducted on both untreated and treated marine clay using different effective confining pressures and a frequency of 0.5 and 1.0 Hz. In addition, treated samples were cured for 28 and 90 days and tested under a frequency of 2.0 Hz. The results revealed significant differences in the performance of treated marine clay samples than that of untreated samples under cyclic loading. The treated marine clay samples were able to stand up to 2000 loading cycles before failure, while untreated marine clay samples could not stand few loading cycles. The untreated marine clay displayed a higher permanent axial strain rate under cyclic loading than the treated clay due to the existence of new cementing compounds after the treatment with recycled tiles and low amount (2%) of cement. The effect of the effective confining pressure was found to be significant on untreated marine clay while its effect was not crucial for the treated samples cured for 90 days. Treated samples cured for 90 days performed better under cyclic loading than the ones cured for 28 days and this is due to the higher amount of cementitious compounds formed with time. The highest deformation was found at 0.5 Hz, which cannot be considered as a critical frequency since smaller frequencies were not used. Therefore, it is recommended to consider testing the treated marine clay using smaller frequencies than 0.5 Hz.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the stress distribution at supporting bone according to the types of endosseous implants. This investigation evaluated the stress patterns in rectangular photoelastic models produced by four different types of dental implants such as $Br\ddot{a}nemark$, screw type of Steri-Oss, blade type of Steri-Oss, IMZ with IMC and resin tooth using the techniques of quasi-three dimensional photoelasticity. All prostheses were casted in the same nonprecious alloy and were cemented or screwed on their respective implants and abutments. 20 kg of vertical load was applied on the central fossa of casted crown and 16 kg of inclined had was applied on the top third of distal surface of casted crown respectively. The results were as follows : 1. Under the vertical load, screw implants of Steri-Oss and $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ showed increasing stress condition between and around the screw threads along the implant lateral surface and cylindrical implant of IMZ showed the less stress condition along the lateral surface with concentration of stress mostly near the root apex. 2. Under the vertical load, the stress of Steri-Oss blade was distributed uniformly at the alveolar bone under the broad blade. 3. Under the inclined load, the stress concentration of Steri-Oss screw and $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ was developed highly around the mesiocervical bone area on the contralateral side to force application. The stress of $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ with flexible gold glod was more concentrated in the cervical bone area than that of Steri-Oss with stiff screw. 4. Under the inclined load, the stress of Steri-Oss blade broadly was distributed around the mesioceivical bone area and the lower and mesial bone area of the blade. 5. Under the Inclined load, IMZ implant showed the gap between c개wn and fixture due ta deformation of the IMC and IMZ was lower in stress concentration developed around the mesiocervical bone area than $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ and Steri-Oss screw. 6. Under the inclined load, the stress magnitude induced in the mesiocervical bone area of implants was in order of $Br\ddot{a}nemark$, Steri-Oss strew, IMZ and Stsri-Oss blade. 7. Tilting forces as compared to axial forces exerted greater magnitude of stress in the cervical bone area of the implant. 8. In respect of stress distribution, Steri-Oss blade was superior than any other implants and in respect of the stability by horizontal lone, IMB and $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ was inferior than any other implants.

필로티형 저층 RC 집합주택에서는 지진 발생 시 필로티층에 손상이 집중된다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 필로티층의 비틀림과 X, Y방향의 강도와 강성을 증가시키기 위해 좌굴방지가새를 설치함과 동시에, 과도한 변형과 축력의 변동이 발생하는 외부기둥의 연성과 축성능, 전단 성능을 증가시키기 위해 외부기둥을 FRP로 보강하였다. 이와 같은 보강 효과를 실험적으로 검증하기 위해 순수 골조와 FRP와 좌굴방지가새로 보강된 골조에 대한 반복 횡하중 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 항복강도(43.2 kN)는 설계항복강도(30 kN)와 압축부의 강도 증가 때문에 차이가 나타났고, 강성(11.6 kN/mm)은 설계강성(24.2 kN/mm)에 비하여 절반의 값을 가졌다. 이러한 강성의 차이는 골조와 가새의 접합부 사이의 미끄러짐과 기초의 회전 및 횡변위가 원인으로 나타났다. 보강된 골조의 에너지 흡수 능력은 순수 골조에 비해 7.5배 향상되었다. 기초당 설치된 로드셀의 개수를 2개에서 1개로 변화시키면, 횡강성이 11.6 kN/mm에서 6 kN/mm로 줄어 들었고, 이것은 단지 순수 골조의 강성에 3배에 지나지 않는다(2.1 kN/mm).

철도교는 일반적으로 설계하중에 근접한 열차하중이 빈번하게 통과할 가능성이 있으므로, 초기설계단계부터 여러 구조상세에 대해 피로특성을 충분한 반영하는 것이 필요하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 철도교에 작용하는 축하중의 크기 및 배치 특성, 피로에 대한 부적절한 구조상세의 적용 등으로 인하여 강철도 플레이트거더교에서 부분적으로 피로균열이 보고되고 있다. 상부플랜지와 복부의 용접이음부에서의 피로균열의 주요 발생 원인의 하나는 침목을 지지하는 주거더와 열차하중이 작용되는 레일과의 중심간격 차이에 따른 열차하중의 편심작용에 의한 것이다. 이 연구에서는 공용중인 강철도 상로플레이트거더교를 대상으로 현장조사 및 현장계측, 일련의 구조해석을 실시하고, 대상교량의 구조거동 특성 및 피로균열의 발생 원인의 규명, 보수 보강(안)에 대하여 검토하였다.
