The reliability-based seismic design of steel frames is a complex process that incorporates seismic demand with a structural capacity to attain safe buildings aligned with specified constraints. This paper introduces an efficient base shear force formulation to support the reliability-based design process of steel frames. The introduced base shear force equation combines the seismic demand statistics with the reliability objective to calculate a fictitious base shear force for linear static analysis. By concentrating on the seismic demand and promising to meet a certain level of reliability, the equation converts the reliability-based seismic design problem to a deterministic one. Two code-compliant real-size steel moment frames are developed according to different reliability objectives to demonstrate the competency of the proposed formula. The nonlinear dynamic analysis method is used to assess the seismic reliability of the constructed frames, and the numerical results validate the credibility of the suggested formulation. The base shear force calculation method regarding seismic reliability is the main finding of this study. The ease of use makes this approach a potent tool for design professionals and stakeholders to make rapid risk-informed decisions regarding steel moment frame design.

This study is to evaluate seismic performance of ordinary moment concrete frames. Base shear and roof displacement relations are obtained from the experiment of 3 story ordinary moment resisting concrete frame. The frame was designed only for gravity loads. The performance of the building is evaluated using capacity spectrum method. Five different seismic zones and three different soil types are considered. For each condition of seismic zone and soil type, ten earthquake ground motions are used to establish the demand spectrum.

일본에서 개발된 원추형 팽이기초(Top-Base Foundation)와 국내에서 개발된 부양형 팽이기초(Floating Top-Base Foundation)를 대상으로 대표 점토질 연약지반인 저압축성점토, 점토질 실트, 점토질 모래에 타설하여 실내모형실험을 수행하였다. 본 실험을 통해 하중-침하량, 기초측면 히빙량, 지중응력분포 등을 측정하여 두 가지 팽이기초의 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 또한, 단변길이 증가에 따른 침하량 변화를 분석하였다. 실내모형실험 결과 부양형 팽이기초가 지지력 증진, 침하량 저감, 응력분산효과, 측방구속력에 대해서 좀 더 우수한 성능을 발휘하는 것으로 나타났으며, 기초폭증가에 따른 침하량은 팽이기초 $5{\times}5$배열을 기점으로 수렴하였다.

The wind velocity profile over the height of a structure in high intensity wind (HIW) events, such as downbursts, differs from that associated with atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) winds. Current design codes for lattice transmission structures contain only limited advice on the treatment of HIW effects, and structural design is carried out using wind load profiles and response factors derived for ABL winds. The present study assesses the load-deformation curve (capacity curve) of a transmission tower under modeled downburst wind loading, and compares it with that obtained for an ABL wind loading profile. The analysis considers nonlinear inelastic response under simulated downburst wind fields. The capacity curve is represented using the relationship between the base shear and the maximum tip displacement. The results indicate that the capacity curve remains relatively consistent between different downburst scenarios and an ABL loading profile. The use of the capacity curve avoids the difficulty associated with defining a reference wind speed and corresponding wind profile that are adequate and applicable for downburst and ABL winds, thereby allowing a direct comparison of response under synoptic and downburst events. Uncertainty propagation analysis is carried out to evaluate the tower capacity by considering the uncertainty in material properties and geometric variables. The results indicated the coefficient of variation of the tower capacity is small compared to those associated with extreme wind speeds.

In this paper, we suggest fuzzy control with feedforward compensator of superheat to progress both energy saving and coefficient of performance(COP) in a variable speed refrigeration system. The capacity and superheat are controlled simultaneously and independently by an inverter and an electronic expansion valve respectively for saving energy and improving COP in the system. By adopting the fuzzy control. the controller design for the capacity and superheat is possible without depending on a dynamic model of the system. Moreover, the feedforward compensator of the superheat can eliminate influence of the interfering loop between capacity and superheat. Some experiments are conducted to design the appropriate fuzzy controller by an iteration manner. The results show that the proposed fuzzy controller with the compensator can establish good control performances for the complicated refrigeration system with inherent strong non-linearity.

A hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) is a limited and critical resource whose efficient utilization of capacity impacts on both the welfare of patients and the hospital's cost effectiveness. Decisions made in the ICU affect the operations of other departments. Yet, decision making in an ICU tends to be mainly subjective and lacking in clear criteria upon which to base any given decision. The study reviews the capacity utilization of one particular ICU, that of a public hospital in Hong Kong, and develops a computer simulation model to improve both the unit's capacity utilization and the quality of care provided to its patients.

본 논문에서는 기지국에 스마트 안테나를 사용한 이동 통신 시스템에서 기지국 다이버시티를 고려하여 빔성형 가중치 결정 방법과 전력 제어 방법을 순방향 링크와 역방향 링크에 대해 제시하고 이를 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션 방법을 이용하여 확인하였다. 결과에 의하면 역방향 링크에서는 다이버시티 threshold가 증가함에 따라 즉, 이동국이 더 많은 기지국들과 링크함에 따라 셀의 용량이 증가하였다. 이와 반대로 순방향 링크에서는 다이버시티 threshold가 증가할수록 용량이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문의 결과는 스마트 안테나를 적용한 시스템의 효율적인 무선망 운용 방식 결정의 지표가 될 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we investigate the throughput capacity of a multi-hop relay network with cognitive radio (CR) enabled relay stations (RS). We suggested a TDMA/FDMA based frame structure where RSs dynamically select unused channels to communicate with the base station (BS) using CR techniques to analyze the throughput capacity. We developed the throughput capacity model for the proposed system based on utilization factor. The analytical results based on those equations show significant improvement in throughput capacity for CR enabled multi-hop relay system.

This study develops practical models and methods for the assessment of safety and capacity rating of existing P.C. girder bridges based on the reliability methods. One of the main objectives of the study is to propose a practical but realistic limit state model for safety assessment and LRFR rating criteria, which explicitly incorporates the degree of deterioration and damage as well as actual condition of P.C. girder bridges in terms of the damage factor and the response ratio. The damage factor proposed in the paper is defined as the ratio of the current estimated stiffness to the intact base-line stiffness of a member. Based on the observation and the results of applications to existing bridges, it may be concluded that the proposed methods for the assessment and capacity rating models, which explicitly account for the uncertainties and effects of degree of deterioration or damage, provide more realistic and consistent safety-assessment and capacity rating.
