해양에서 발생하는 사고는 선박, 선원 및 해운기업뿐만 아니라 사회 전반에도 매우 큰 영향을 미치며, 따라서 해양사고가 발생하였을 경우, 이를 신속하고 효율적으로 구난하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 특히, 대규모 해양오염이나 인명사고를 수반하는 해양사고는 매우 심각한 피해를 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 해양사고를 당한 인명, 선박 및 재산을 효율적이고, 신속하게 구난하는 것은 특히 중요하다. 그러나 국내의 해양구난을 위한 역량은 매우 빈약한 상황이며, 비교적 좋은 장비 등을 갖추고 있는 해양경찰 또는 해군 등 공공부문과는 달리 민간구난업은 매우 열악한 기술적 및 경제적 상황에 처해 있다. 해양구난은 단순히 경제적 측면의 중요성뿐만 아니라 국가 안보적 측면에서의 중요성도 있기 때문에 이를 활성화하는 것은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 이에 본고에서 해양구난을 활성화하기 위한 방안을 법제도적 측면에서 검토하고 관련 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다. 개선안은 민간 및 공공부문을 포함한 전체적 활성화 방안과 민간부문의 활성화 방안을 제시하였다.

According to the new directives about the rational and efficient use of energy, thermal bridges in buildings have to be avoided, and the thermal insulation (TI) layer should run without interruptions all around the building - even under its foundations. The paper deals with the seismic response of multi-storeyed reinforced concrete (RC) frame building structures founded on an extruded polystyrene (XPS) layer placed beneath the foundation slab. The purpose of the paper is to elucidate the problem of buildings founded on a TI layer from the seismic resistance point of view, to assess the seismic behaviour of such buildings, and to search for the critical parameters which can affect the structural and XPS layer response. Nonlinear dynamic and static analyses were performed, and the seismic response of fixed-base (FB) and thermally insulated (TI) variants of nonlinear RC building models were compared. Soil-structure interaction was also taken into account for different types of soil. The results showed that the use of a TI layer beneath the foundation slab of a superstructure generally induces a higher peak response compared to that of a corresponding system without TI beneath the foundation slab. In the case of stiff structures located on firm soil, amplification of the response might be substantial and could result in exceedance of the superstructure's moment-rotation plastic hinge capacities or allowable lateral roof and interstorey drift displacements. In the case of heavier, slenderer, and higher buildings subjected to stronger seismic excitations, the overall response is governed by the rocking mode of oscillation, and as a consequence the compressive strength of the XPS could be insufficient. On the other hand, in the case of low-rise and light-weight buildings, the friction capacity between the layers of the applied TI foundation set might be exceeded so that sliding could occur.

비용을 보상하는 원가규제 방식으로 알려진 투자보수율 규제 또는 총괄원가주의 규제의 경우 피규제자는 비용을 부풀리려는 유인을 갖게 마련이다. 그런데 생산공장별 원가를 규제자가 파악하고 이들 간의 경쟁을 유도하는 경우에는 단기적으로 '수인의 딜레마' 상황이 나타나 원가 과대보고와는 방향이 다른 원가 과소보고 방향으로의 비용왜곡 요인이 발생할 수 있다. 변동비 반영 전력시장의 경우 발전기의 운전시간이 늘어날수록 실제변동비와 등록변동비 간의 차이는 점점 커지게 되지만 복합화력 발전사들은 가동률과 발전량을 높게 유지하기 위해 등록변동비를 유지시키려는 전략적 선택을 할 수 있다. 그 결과 궁극적으로 수익성이 악화되고 신규설비에 대한 투자를 유도하지 못하며 설비예비율은 적정 이하로 떨어지는 '수인의 딜레마' 상황이 나타날 수 있다. 이에 따라 발전사들의 자기변동비가 실제 효율과 유사하도록 관련 규정을 개정할 필요가 있다.

This study analyzed pore water pressure, earth pressure and settlement through laboratory model tests in order to suggest the effective remodeling method in the case of reinforcing the upstream and downstream slope of deteriorated reservoirs that has no cores and filters or is not functional. The method of remodeling the upstream slope using dredge soil is first prevent seepage by installing the core, and the leakage water can be rapidly discharged through a filter installed on the downstream slope. Therefore, it is considered a highly efficient method of remodeling that reduces piping phenomena and increasing the storage capacity of the reservoir. The variation of earth pressure without the core and filter was greater than with it, while the change largely showed in the upstream slope, the downstream slope did not show any significant changes. The remodeling method of the downstream slope with the core appeared differently pore water pressure depending on the presence of the vertical and horizontal filters. In the upstream slope, the pore water pressure rises sharply, the base and middle gradually increased, and the downstream slope appeared small. The pore water pressure of embankment with a vertical and horizontal filter will be smaller than without it. The remodeling of deteriorated reservoir that does not have the function of the filter, the vertical filter must be installed in a position that is higher than the expected seepage line by removing portions of the downstream slopes. Since the horizontal filter is an important structure that provides stable drainage during an earthquake or concentrated leak, it is necessary to examine any change in the seepage characteristics depending on the filter intervals via three-dimensional finite element analysis, and it should be connected to the tow-drain to reduce the possibility of the collapse of the reservoir.

The increasing lack of good quality soils allowing the development of roadway, motorway, or railway networks, as well as large scale industrial facilities, necessitates the use of reinforcement techniques. Their aim is the improvement of the global performance of compressible soils, both in terms of settlement reduction and increase of the load bearing capacity. Among the various available techniques, the improvement of soils by incorporating vertical stiff piles appears to be a particularly appropriate solution, since it is easy to implement and does not require any substitution of significant soft soil volumes. The technique consists in driving a group of regularly spaced piles through a soft soil layer down to an underlying competent substratum. The surface load being thus transferred to this substratum by means of those reinforcing piles, which illustrates the case of a piled embankment. The differential settlements at the base of the embankment between the soft soil and the stiff piles lead to an "arching effect" in the embankment due to shearing mechanisms. This effect, which can be accentuated by the use of large pile caps, allows partial load transfer onto the pile, as well as surface settlement reduction, thus ensuring that the surface structure works properly. A technique for producing rigid piles has been developed to achieve in a single operation a rigid circular pile associated with a cone shaped head reversed on the place of a rigid circular pile. This technique has been used with success in a pile-supported road near Bourgoin-Jallieu (France). In this article, a numerical study based on this real case is proposed to highlight the functioning mode of this new technique in the case of industrial slabs.

The imperfect steel-concrete interface bonding is an important deficiency of the concrete-filled double skin tubular (CFDST) columns that led to separating concrete and steel surfaces under lateral loads and triggering buckling failure of the columns. To improve this issue, it is proposed in this study to use longitudinal and transverse steel stiffeners in CFDST columns. CFDST columns with different patterns of stiffeners embedded in the interior or exterior surfaces of the inner or outer tubes were analyzed under constant axial force and reversed cyclic loading. In the finite element modeling, the confinement effects of both inner and outer tubes on the compressive strength of concrete as well as the effect of discrete crack for concrete fracture were incorporated which give a realistic prediction of the seismic behavior of CFDST columns. Lateral strength, stiffness, ductility and energy absorption are evaluated based on the hysteresis loops. The results indicated that the stiffeners had determinant role on improving pinching behavior resulting from the outer tube's local buckling and opening/closing of the major tensile crack of concrete. The lateral strength, initial stiffness and energy absorption capacity of longitudinally stiffened columns with fixed-free end condition were increased by as much as 17%, 20% and 70%, respectively. The energy dissipation was accentuated up to 107% for fixed-guided end condition. The use of transverse stiffeners at the base of columns increased energy dissipation up to 35%. Axial load ratio, hollow ratio and concrete strength affecting the initial stiffness and lateral strength, had negligible effect of the energy dissipation of the columns. It was also found that the longitudinal stiffeners and transverse stiffeners have, respectively, negative and positive effects on ductility of CFDST columns. The conclusions, drawn from this study, can in turn, lead to the suggestion of some guidelines for the design of CFDST columns.

Recent seismic events occurred in Italy (Emilia-Romagna 2012, Abruzzo 2009) and worldwide (New Zealand 2010 and 2011) highlighted some of the weaknesses of precast concrete industrial buildings, especially those related to the connecting systems traditionally employed to fasten the cladding panels to the internal framing. In fact, one of the most commons fails it is possible to observe in such structural typologies is related to the out-of-plane collapse of the external walls due to the unsatisfactory behaviour of the connectors used to join the panels to the perimeter beams. In this work, the strengthening of a traditional industrial building, assumed as a case study, made by precast reinforced concrete is proposed by the adoption of a dual system allowing the reinforcement of the structure by acting both internally; by pendular columns and, externally, on the walls. In particular, traditional connections at the top of the walls are substituted by devices able to work as a slider with vertical axis while, the bottom of the walls is equipped with two or more hysteretic dampers working on the uplift of the cladding panels occurring under seismic actions. By means of this approach, the structure is stiffened; obtaining a reduction of the lateral drifts under serviceability limit states. In addition, its seismic behaviour is improved due to the additional source of energy dissipation represented by the dampers located at the base of the walls. The effectiveness of the suggested retrofitting approach has been checked by comparing the performance of the retrofitted structure with those of the structure unreinforced by means of both pushover and Incremental Dynamic Analyses (IDA) in terms of behaviour factor, assumed as a measure of the ductility capacity of the structure.

This paper focuses on the study of complete dynamic modeling and maximum dynamic load carrying capacity computation of N-flexible links and N-flexible joints mobile manipulator undergoing large deformation. Nonlinear dynamic analysis relies on the Timoshenko theory of beams. In order to model the system completely and precisely, structural and joint flexibility, nonlinear strain-displacement relationship, payload, and non-holonomic constraints will be considered to. A finite element solution method based on mixed method is applied to model the shear deformation. This procedure is considerably more involved than displacement based element and shear deformation can be readily included without inducing the shear locking in the element. Another goal of this paper is to present a computational procedure for determination of the maximum dynamic load of geometrically nonlinear manipulators with structural and joint flexibility. An effective measure named as Moment-Height Stability (MHS) measure is applied to consider the dynamic stability of a wheeled mobile manipulator. Simulations are performed for mobile base manipulator with two flexible links and joints. The results represent that dynamic stability constraint is sensitive when calculating the maximum carrying load. Furthermore, by changing the trajectory of end effector, allowable load also changes. The effect of torsional spring parameter on the joint deformation is investigated in a parametric sensitivity study. The findings show that, by the increase of torsional stiffness, the behavior of system approaches to a system with rigid joints and allowable load of robot is also enhanced. A comparison is also made between the results obtained from small and large deformation models. Fluctuation range in obtained figures for angular displacement of links and end effector path is bigger for large deformation model. Experimental results are also provided to validate the theoretical model and these have good agreement with the simulated results.

본 논문에서는 4세대 이동 통신의 핵심 중의 하나라 할 수 있는 무선인터넷(WiBro) 시스템에 단말과 기지국에서 상호 결합하여 동작하는 결합 적응 어레이 안테나(joint adaptive may antenna)를 사용하는 WiBro시스템 구조를 제안하고 이에 따른 성능을 평가하였다. 단말과 기지국에 적응 어레이 안테나를 사용하지 않는 시스템과 비교하여 각 부반송파의 순시 (instantaneous) SINR이 증가하고 부반송파의 변화가 줄어들므로 시스템에서의 사용되는 전력도 감소하게 된다. 그러나 이러한 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해서는 기지국과 단말에서 최적 가중치(optimum weight) 계산이 요구되는데 이것은 시스템에 많은 계산량을 필요로 하게 된다. 이러한 계산량을 감소시키기 위해 부반송파를 그룹화하여 응집 대역폭(coherence bandwidth)내에 존재하는 부반송파에 대해서 동일한 가중치를 사용함으로써 시스템의 계산량을 줄일 수 있게 된다. 이때 응집 대역폭 내에 존재하는 부채널을 그룹화 하면 비록 수신 성능의 감쇠가 나타나지만 근소한 성능의 저하를 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 결합 적응적 어레이 안테나를 적용한 무선 인터넷 시스템의 성능을 타 시스템과 비교하여 단말과 기지국에서 상호 결합하여 동작하는 시스템은 전력 소비 감소, SINR 향상, 그리고 에러율 감소, 채널 변화 완화 등의 다양한 성능이 향상됨을 정량적으로 평가한다.
