Population growth and urbanization prompted engineers to propose more sophisticated and efficient transportation methods, such as underground transit systems. However, due to limited urban space, it is necessary to construct these tunnels in close proximity to existing infrastructure like high-rise buildings and bridges. Battered piles have been widely used for their higher stiffness and bearing capacity compared to vertical piles, making them effective in resisting lateral loads from winds, soil pressures, and impacts. Considerable prior research has been concerned with understanding the vertical pile response to tunnel excavation. However, the three-dimensional effects of tunnelling on adjacent battered piled foundations are still not investigated. This study investigates the response of a single battered pile to tunnelling at three critical depths along the pile: near the pile shaft (S), next to the pile (T), and below the pile toe (B). An advanced hypoplastic model capable of capturing small strain stiffness is used to simulate clay behaviour. The computed results reveal that settlement and load transfer mechanisms along the battered pile, resulting from tunnelling, depend significantly on the tunnel's location relative the length of the pile. The largest settlement of the battered pile occurs in the case of T. Conversely, the greatest pile head deflection is caused by tunnelling near the pile shaft. The battered pile experiences "dragload" due to negative skin friction mobilization resulting from tunnel excavation in the case of S. The battered pile is susceptible to induced bending moments when tunnelling occurs near the pile shaft S whereas the magnitude of induced bending moment is minimal in the case of B.

Wake characteristics of the flow over a finite square prism at different incidence angles were experimentally investigated using an open-loop wind tunnel. A finite square prism with a width D = 15 mm and a height H = 7D was vertically mounted on a horizontal flat plate. The Reynolds number was varied from $6.5{\times}10^3$ to $28.5{\times}10^3$ and the incidence angle ${\alpha}$ was changed from $0^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$. The ratio of boundary layer thickness to the prism height was about ${\delta}/H=7%$. The time-averaged velocity, turbulence intensity and the vortex shedding frequency were obtained through a single-component hotwire probe. Power spectrum of the streamwise velocity fluctuations revealed that the tip and base vortices shed at the same frequency as that ofspanwise vortices. Furthermore, the results showed that the critical incidence angle corresponding to the maximum Strouhal number and minimum wake width occurs at ${\alpha}_{cr}=15^{\circ}$ which is equal to that reported for an infinite prism. There is a reduction in the size of the wake region along the height of the prism when moving away from the ground plane towards the free end.

Axial fan is used for the supplement of large amount of flows. Axial blowers show relatively high efficiency of the system. The present model of axial fan is for cooling a condenser in an air-conditioning unit that exhibits tendency toward compact size. In order to realize the compact model, the width of an axial blade should be cut down in axial distance. Main interest lies on the performance of the axial blowing system with blades having shorter chord length. One of the important design parameters for axial fan is the shape of the blades of it. Design of blades includes the cross-sectional shape and its dimension, including the chord length. We consider two types of blades; one is NACA airfoil with normal chord length and the other is with shortening chord length by $10\%$ of normal airfoil. Axial blower with the modified blades is essential for the compact model of an air-conditioner. The other design parameters are same in the two cases. Using a wind tunnel follows ASHRAE standards carries out evaluation of performance of the system. Detail of flows around the blades is prepared by velocity measurements using PIV. According to performance estimation, the axial blower with short chord blade show quite close to the performance results, including flow rate and pressure rise, of the standard one. The reason of the two similar results is that the flowpatterns depend on Reynolds number based on the chord length of a blade. In this investigation, the critical chord length is found, in which the flows near the airfoil are so unstable and the performance of the system is decreased. A series of figures is for the detail information on the flow.

현재 도로터널에는 화재시 임계풍속을 유지할 수 있도록 제트팬을 설치하고 있으며, 제트팬 댓수는 임계풍속을 유지하기 위한 유동저항, 자연풍에 의한 환기저항, 열부력에 의한 환기저항을 고려하여 산정한다. 그러나, 국내의 경우, 제트팬 댓수 산정시 열부력은 고려하지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 열부력이 제트팬 댓수에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위해서 터널연장(500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3500 m) 및 경사도(-1.0, -1.5, -2.0%)를 변수로 하여 화재성장곡선에 따른 비정상상태의 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 열기류의 평균온도 및 열부력에 의한 압력손실을 검토하여 열부력이 제트팬 댓수에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 화재로 인한 열부력을 고려하는 경우에 제트팬 댓수의 증가가 필요하며, 특히, 설계화재강도를 100 MW로 하는 경우에는 본 해석조건의 모든 범위에서 열부력에 의한 압력손실이 차량저항에 의한 압력손실의 최대치보다 증가하며, 현행설계기준을 적용하는 경우보다. 최소 2~11대의 제트팬 대수의 증가가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 제연용 제트팬 용량 산정시 열부력에 대한 고려가 반드시 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

소요환기량은 터널단면을 결정하기 위한 기초적인 자료로, 터널 내 환기 시스템을 결정하기 위한 주요한 요소이다. 소요환기량은 터널 내 교통량 자료에 기초하고 있으며, 차량으로부터 배출되는 오염물질량과 터널 내 허용농도 기준에 의해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 처음으로 국내 기준이 한국도로공사에 의하여 규정된 1997년 이후 20년간 변화한 도로터널 환기설계기준을 검토하고 최근의 환경부 '제작차 배출허용기준'과 세계도로협회(WRA) 2019년 설계권고기준 등을 바탕으로, 터널의 특성, 특히 길이 및 종단경사를 고려하여 소요환기량 차이 및 영향을 비교분석하였다.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate aerodynamic characteristics on reduced frequency of flapping wings. The half span of the wing is 28cm, and the mean chord length of wing is 10cm. In flight, the Reynolds Number range of birds is about $10^4$, and the reduced frequency during a level flight is 0.25. The experimental variables of present study were set to have similar conditions with the bird flight's one. The freestream velocities in a wind tunnel were 2.50, 3.75 and $5.00^m/s$, and the corresponding Reynolds numbers were $1.7{\times}10^4$, $2.5{\times}10^4$ and $3.3{\times}10^4$, respectively. The wing beat frequencies of an experimental model were 2, 3 and 4Hz, and the corresponding reduced frequency was decided between 0.1 and 0.5. Aerodynamic forces of an experimental flapping model were measured by using 2 axis load-cell. Inertial forces measured in a vacuum chamber were removed from measuring forces in the wind tunnel in order to acquire pure aerodynamic forces. Hall sensors and laser trigger were used to make sure the exact position of wings during the flapping motion. Results show that the ratio of downstroke in a wing beat cycle is increased as a wing beat frequency increases. The instantaneous lift coefficient is the maximum value at the end of downstroke of flapping wing model. It is found that a critical reduced frequency with large lift coefficient is existed near k=0.25.

In the current study, dynamic and quasi-static analyses were performed to investigate the response of multiple-spanned and single-spanned transmission line conductors under both downburst and synoptic winds considering different wind velocities and different length spans. Two critical downburst configurations, recommended in the literature and expected to cause maximum conductor reactions, were considered in the analyses. The objective of the study was to assess the importance of including the dynamic effect when predicting the conductor's reactions on the towers. This was achieved by calculating the mean, the background and the resonant reaction components, and evaluating the contribution of the resonant component to the peak reaction. The results show that the maximum contribution of the resonant component is generally low (in the order of 6%) for the multiple-spanned system at different wind velocities for both downburst and synoptic winds. For the single-spanned system, the result show a relatively high maximum contribution (in the order of 16%) at low wind velocity and a low maximum contribution (in the order of 6%) at high wind velocity for both downburst and synoptic winds. Such contributions may justify the usage of the quasi-static approach for analyzing transmission line conductors subjected to the high wind velocities typically used for the line design.

Quad-Rotor, which consists of four blades, performs a flight task by controling each rotation speed of the four blades. Quad-Rotor blade making no use of cyclic pitch or collective one is a type of fixed-wing as different from helicopter blade. Although, Quad-Rotor is simple and easy to control for those reasons, blade configuration of the fixed wing is one of the critical factors in determining the performance of Quad-Rotor. In the present study, coefficients for thrust and power of Quad-Rotor blade were derived from the data acquired by using 6-component balances. Firstly, Measurements for aerodynamic force were conducted at various pitch angles (i.e., from 0$^{\circ}$ to 90$^{\circ}$ with the interval of 10$^{\circ}$). The blade used in this experiment has aspect ratio of 6 and chord length of 35.5 mm. Secondly, assembled-blade, which was an integral blade but divided into many pieces, was used in order to test aerodynamic forces along twist angles. The curve of thrust coefficient along pitch angle indicates a parabola form. Stall which occurs during wind tunnel test to calculate lift coefficient of airfoil does not generate. When deciding the blade twist angle, structural stability of blade should be considered together with coefficients of thrust and power. Those aerodynamic force data based on experimental study will be provided as a firm basis for the design of brand-new Quad-Rotor blade.

Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) nowadays are widely used as the main parts of momentous structures, and its connection has gained increasing attention as the complexity in configuration and load transfer mechanism. This paper proposes a novel CFST pier-to-footing incorporating tube-confined RC encasement. Such an innovative approach offers several benefits, including expedited on-site assembly, effective confinement, and collision resistance and corrosion resistance. The seismic behavior of such CFST pier-to-footing connection was studied by testing eight specimens under quasi-static cyclic lateral load. In the experimental research, the influences on the seismic behavior and the order of plastic hinge formation were discussed in detail by changing the footing height, axial compression ratio, number and length of anchored bars, and type of confining tube. All the specimens showed sufficient ductility and energy dissipation, without significant strength degradation. There is no obvious failure in the confined footing, while local buckling can be found in the critical section of the pier. It suggests that the footing provides satisfactory strength protection for the connection.

국내 도로터널은 2010년과 2019년과 비교시 1,300개소, 1,102 km 증가하고 있으며, 연평균 7.6 %씩 증가하고 있는 수치이다. 또한, 도로터널 연장이 3,000 m이상 되는 장대터널도 64개소, 276.7 km에 달하고 있다. 도로터널은 폐쇄적인 공간적 특성으로 인해 화재사고 발생시 대형 인명피해로 연결될 가능성이 높으므로 안전시설 설치를 고려해야 한다. 현재 국토교통부의 지침을 통하여 방재시설 설치 기준이 제시되고 있으나, 대심도의 특성을 반영하는데 한계가 있는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 피난연결통로의 설치간격과 피난연결문의 폭을 적용한 시뮬레이션을 통하여, 적정한 기준값을 도출하고자 하였다. 안전성의 척도가 되는 피난시간 산정은 피난 분석 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어 building EXODUS Ver.6.3과 화재/연기 분석 소프트웨어 SMARTFIRE Ver.4.1을 활용하였다. 시나리오는 피난연결문 폭 0.9 m, 1.2 m 두 종류와 피난연결통로간격 150~250 m를 20 m간격으로 설정하였다. 또한, 대심도 특성인 경사도를 고려하기 위해서 종단경사 6 %와 0 %를 각각 적용하였다. 피난완료시간이 연기확산시간보다 짧은 경우 "안전"으로 판단하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 종단경사 6 %인 경우, 피난연결통로 간격이 150 m인 경우에는 피난연결문 너비에 상관없이 연기확산 전에 모든 재실자들이 피난을 완료할 수 있었다. 종단경사 0 %인 경우, 피난연결통로 간격이 200 m이고 피난연결문의 폭이 1.2 m인 경우 모든 재실자가 피난을 완료할 수 있었다. 종단경사에 따른 피난 속도의 차이로 0 % 경사에서는 6 %에 비해 대피시간이 114초(190 m연결통로 기준) 단축되는 것으로 나타났다. 피난연결통로 간격이 짧아질 수록 빠르게 대피할 수 있으나 경제적, 구조적인 문제로 연결통로를 촘촘하게 배치하기는 어렵다. 피난연결문의 폭이 1.2 m로 늘어난다면 0.9 m 폭인 경우와 비교하여 재실자들이 더 빠르게 대피가 가능할 것이다. 연결통로간격을 적정하게 유지하면서 1.2 m폭의 연결문을 적용한다면, 피난 안전을 확보하면서 경제성을 높이고 구조적인 안전까지 해결하는 방법이 될 것이다.
