In view of the importance of the wind-structure interaction for tall and slender structures, an aeroelastic model test of the 610m-high TV tower with a complex and unique structural configuration and appearance carried out successfully. The assembled aeroelastic model of the TV tower with complex shape and structure was designed and made to ensure the similarities of the major natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes. The simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer with higher turbulent intensity is presented. Since the displacement and acceleration responses at several measurement sections were directly measured in the wind tunnel test, a multi-mode approach was presented to indirectly estimate the displacement and acceleration responses at arbitrary structural floors based on the measured ones. It can be seen that it is remarkable for the displacement and acceleration responses of the TV tower in the two horizontal directions under wind loads and is small for the dynamic response of the torsional displacement and acceleration.

High Damping Rubber bearings (HDR bearings) have been used in the seismic design of bridge structures widely in China. In earthquakes, structural natural periods will be extended, seismic energy will be dissipated by this kind of bearing. Previously, cyclic loading method was used mainly for test studies on mechanical properties of HDR bearings, which cannot simulate real seismic responses. In this paper, Real-Time Substructure (RTS) test study on mechanical properties of HDR bearings was conducted and it was found that the loading rate effect was not negligible. Then the influence of peak acceleration of ground motion was studied. At last test results were compared with a numerical simulation in the OpenSees software framework with the Kikuchi model. It is found that the Kikuchi model can simulate real mechanical properties of HDR bearings in earthquakes accurately.

Aerodynamic damping often plays an important role in estimations of wind induced dynamic responses of super high-rise buildings. Across- and along-wind aerodynamic damping ratios of a square super high-rise building with a height of 300 m are identified with the Random Decrement technique (RDT) from random vibration responses of the SDOF aeroelastic model in simulated wind fields. Parametric studies on effects of reduced wind velocity, terrain type and structural damping ratio on the aerodynamic damping ratios are further performed. Finally formulas of across- and along-wind aerodynamic damping ratios of the square super high-rise building are derived with curve fitting technique and accuracy of the formulas is verified.

Using OpenSees as a framework, constitutive models of reinforced, prestressed and prestressed steel fiber concrete found by the panel tests have been implemented into a finite element program called Simulation of Concrete Structures (SCS) to predict the seismic behavior of shear-critical reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. The developed finite element program was validated by tests on prestressed steel fiber concrete beams under monotonic loading, post tensioned precast concrete column under reversed cyclic loading, framed shear walls under reversed cyclic loading or shaking table excitations, and a seven-story wall building under shake table excitations. The comparison of analytical results with test outcomes indicates good agreement.

The aerodynamic and aero-elastic model tests of the China''s highest cooling tower has been carried out in the TJ-3 Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel of Tongji University. By adopting a scanivalve system, the external wind pressure is firstly measured on $12{\times}36$ taps for a single tower, two and four grouped towers under the condition of both smooth flow and the boundary layer due to surrounding geographic and building topography. The measurements of internal wind pressure distribution of $6{\times}36$ taps are taken for a single tower under the various ventilation ratios ranging from 0% to 100% of stuffing layers located at the bottom of the tower. In the last stage, the wind tunnel tests with an aero-elastic model are carefully conducted to determine wind-induced displacements at six levels (each with eight points) with laser displacement sensors. According to the measurement results of wind pressure or vibration response, the extreme aerodynamic loading values of the single or grouped towers are accordingly analyzed based on probability correlation technique.

According to the results of 9 circular concrete filled steel tube (CFT) push-out tests, a new theoretical model for average bond stress versus free end slip curve is proposed. The relationship between verage bond stress and free end slip is obtained considering some varying influential parameters such as slenderness ratio and diameter-to-thickness ratio. Based on measured steel tube strain and relative slip at different longitudinal positions, the distribution of bond stress and relative slip along the length of steel tube is obtained. An equation for predicting the varying bond-slip relationship along longitudinal length and a position function reflecting the variation are proposed. The presented method can be used in the application of finite element method to analyze the behavior of CFT structures.

This study utilizes large-scale shake table test to investigate the seismic performance of an isolated bridge with lead rubber bearings crossing an active fault. Two transverse restraining systems with and without shear keys are tested by applying spatially varying ground motions. It is shown that the near-fault span exhibits larger bearing displacement than the crossing-fault span. Bridge piers away from the fault rupture are more vulnerable than those adjacent to the fault rupture by attracting more seismic demand. It is also verified that the shear keys are effective in restraining the bearing displacement on the near-fault span, particularly under the large permanent ground displacement.

본 연구는 인천시가 국제안전도시 인증을 받는 데 필요한 평가 도구인 'UNDRR의 도시 재난 복원력 스코어카드'를 적용한 사례연구이다. 이 스코어카드 평가를 통해 도출된 결과가 인천시의 재난경감 계획수립에 기여한 사례를 제시하고자 한다. 물론 재난 복원력 스코어카드는 도시가 직면한 모든 재난에 대한 복원력 향상 방안을 제시할 수 있는 것은 아니다. 다만 도시가 직면하고 있는 복원력의 약점을 발견하고, 그 해결책을 제시하여 도시의 재난 위험도를 경감시키는 데 있다. 이는 인천시가 직면한 재난위험도를 실무자들이 인지하도록 돕는 것이다. 그리고 재난에 취약한 분야에 대해 복원력을 갖출 수 있도록 UNDRR에서 권장하고 해결방안을 제시하였다. 이러한 과정이 인천시의 재난 복원력을 향상시키는데 기여할 수 있음을 확인하였다. UNDRR에서는 세계 도시의 재난경감을 위하여, 2010년부터 '기후변화, 재해에 강한 도시 만들기 캠페인, 일명 MCR(Making Cities Resilient) 캠페인'을 전 세계 도시로 확산시키고 있다. UNDRR에서 채택된 재난경감 지침을 적용함으로써 정부 및 지방자치단체, 이웃 도시들 간의 협업 등을 권장하고 있는 것이다. 인천시의 UN 도시 재난 복원력 스코어카드 평가 결과는 필수사항 10가지 중에 5개 분야(1. 재난 복원력을 위한 조직구성 및 이행 준비, 4. 복원력에 강한 도시개발과 설계추구, 5. 자연생태계가 제공하는 보호기능 강화를 위한 자연 완충재 보존, 9. 효과적인 재난대비와 대응력 확보, 10. 신속한 복원과 더 나은 재건)에서 5점 만점에 4점 이상(4.3~5.0)의 점수를 획득하여 강한 복원력 분야로 평가되었다. 이에 반해 5개 분야(2. 현재와 미래의 위험 시나리오 분석, 이해, 활용, 3. 재난 복원력을 위한 재정적 역량 강화, 6. 복원력을 위한 기관 역량 강화, 7. 복원력을 위한 사회적 역량 이해 및 강화, 8. 사회기반시설의 복원력 강화)는 5점 만점에 4점 미만(3.20~3.85)의 점수를 획득하여 약한 복원력 분야로 평가되었다. 본 연구의 스코어카드 평가 결과를 통해, 인천시가 당면한 위험요소를 우선순위별로 확인할 수 있었고, 재난위험도를 최소화할 수 있는 복원력 향상방안, 도시안전 기반의 도시개발계획 수립, 활용 가능한 재난경감자원 확인, 통합적인 재난대비 방안 등에 도움을 줄 수 있다.

As inter-Korean relations progress, the issue of natural disasters which could directly affect the lives of the people in both Koreas, has not yet been discussed. Considering the current status of inter-Korean relations and the ongoing disaster-related damage in North Korea, it is imperative to establish a technical plan at the pan-governmental level to reduce the damage from natural disasters. The purpose of this study is to secure the Korea Peninsula against natural disasters by organizing South Korea's science and technologies related to natural disasters in order to reduce the damage, and to evaluate the applicability of said technologies. The situation of natural disasters in North Korea for 17 years has been summarized and reclassified based on eight types of natural disasters. Technologies related to natural disasters in South Korea were also investigated and reclassified. Based on the data, a priority evaluation was performed and the prioritization of technology application for each natural disaster type in North Korea was calculated through a quadrant analysis. As a result, the three major categories of high-priority technologies were classified as natural disaster monitoring with remote sensing and spatial information technology, construction of research basis and database based on geographic information system (GIS) and integrated management of complex natural disasters.
