The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability of strong motion records processed by causal and acausal Butterworth filters in comparison to the results obtained from a synthetic accelerogram. For this purpose, the fault parallel component of the Bolu record of the Duzce earthquake is modeled with a sum of exponentially damped sinusoidal components. Noise-free velocities and displacements are then obtained by analytically integrating the synthetic acceleration model. The analytical velocity and displacement signals are used as a standard with which to judge the validity of the signals obtained by filtering with causal and acausal filters and numerically integrating the acceleration model. The results show that the acausal filters are clearly preferable to the causal filters due to the fact that the response spectra obtained from the acausal filters match the spectra obtained from the simulated accelerogram better than that obtained by causal filters. The response spectra are independent from the order of the filters and from the method of integration (whether analytical integration after a spline fit to the synthetic accelerogram or the trapezoidal rule). The response spectra are sensitive to the chosen corner frequency of both the causal and the acausal filters and also to the inclusion of the pads. Accurate prediction of the static residual displacement (SRD) is very important for structures traversing faults in the near-fault regions. The greatest adverse effect of the high pass filters is their removal of the SRD. However, the noise-free displacements obtained by double integrating the synthetic accelerogram analytically preserve the SRD. It is thus apparent that conventional high pass filters should not be used for processing near-fault strong-motion records although they can be reliably used for far-fault records if applied acausally. The ground motion parameters such as ARIAS intensity, HUSID plots, Housner spectral intensity and the duration of strong-motion are found to be insensitive to the causality of filters.

본 논문에서는 단일 및 연속지진하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 교량 교각의 누적손상의 영향을 조사하였다. 이 목적을 위하여 세 쌍의 입력지진파들이 선택되었고 이중 한 쌍은 3개월 간격으로 같은 지역에서 기록된 연속지진에 의한 입력지진파들을 나타낸다. 해석결과 교각들은 연속지진하중에 의하여 많은 수의 비탄성 반복주기를 경험하고 변위 연성요구도가 증가되었다. 따라서 교각들은 강성의 감소로 인한 손상이 클 것으로 사료된다. 뿐만 아니라 교각의 변위 연성요구도의 비교분석 결과, 교각의 비탄성 지진응답은 작용된 입력지진파들의 특성에 크게 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 또한 연속지진하중이 전단을 고려한 응답에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 전단을 고려한 경우와 고려하지 않은 경우의 비교해석 결과, 연속지진하중 하에서 전단을 고려한 경우 교각의 강성저하와 그에 따른 에너지 소산능력 감소의 정도가 심각한 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 철근콘크리트 교량 교각의 안전성 검토에 연속지진하중의 효과가 고려되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

연구목적: 최근 국내 규모 5.0이상의 지진으로 인한 피해 발생이 증가하고 있다. 지진이 발생하면 구조물 이외에도 내부설비, 전력기기 등에 피해를 주게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 지진으로 인한 배전반과 같은 전기기기의 피해를 저감시킬 수 있는 이중 슬립마찰면이 있는 면진장치를 개발하였으며, 이에 대한 면진성능을 평가하였다. 연구방법: 면진성능을 평가하기 위해 진동대 시험을 수행하였으며, 면진장치 유무에 따른 성능비교를 수행하였다. 다양한 주파수와 가속도 수준에 대한 응답가속도 및 변위를 비교하여 면진장치의 감쇠효과를 분석하였다. 연구결과: 시험결과, 면진장치가 설치되어 있는 경우가 면진장치가 설치되어 있지 않은 경우보다 가속도 증폭이 최대 42% 작았다. 이는 면진장치의 이중슬립마찰면 사이에서 발생한 변위가 지진에너지를 소산하는 역할을 하여 증폭에너지가 감소된 것으로 판단된다. 결론: 이중 슬립마찰면을 적용한 면진장치는 약진보다는 강진에서 지진감쇠효과가 더 컸으며, 주파수가 클수록 지진감쇠효과가 더 좋았다. 따라서, 배전반과 같은 전기기기에 적용하여 지진에너지를 감쇠하는 작용을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Al-brass is the raw material of mnufacturing tubes for heat exchanger of vessel where seawater is used to coolant because it has high level of heat coductivity and excellent mechanical properties and high level of corrosion resistance due to cuprous oxide($Cu_2O$) layer against seawater. However, damage of Al-brass tubes for heat exchanger of vessel is reported that local corrosion such as stress corrosion cracking occurred by synergism effect between mechanical factor and corrosion environment. In this study, to investigate on the effect of stress on the polarization characteristics of Al-brass. At the stress of 0% and 95% yield strength by constant displacement tester, in 3.5% NaCl + 0.1% $NH_4OH$ solution, the polarization tests were carried out. And thus open circuit potential, corrosion current density, anodic polarization, cyclic polarization and dezincification behavior of Al-brass are investigated.

In this work, we investigated radiation hardness of GaN-based transistors which are strong candidates for next-generation power electronics. Field effect transistors with three types of gate structures including metal Schottky gate, recessed gate, and p-AlGaN layer gate were fabricated on AlGaN/GaN heterostructure on Si substrate. The devices were irradiated with energetic protons and alpha-particles. The irradiated transistors exhibited the reduction of on-current and the shift of threshold voltage which were attributed to displacement damage by incident energetic particles at high fluence. However, FET operation was still maintained and leakage characteristics were not degraded, suggesting that GaN-based FETs possess high potential for radiation-hardened electronics.

During the service life of a structure, design complications and unexpected events may induce unforeseen vibrations. These vibrations can be generated by malfunctioning machinery or machines that are modified or placed without considering the original structural design because of a change in the intended use of the structure. Significant vibrations occurred at a natural gas plant cooling structure during its operation due to cavitation effect within the hydraulic system. This study presents findings obtained from the in-situ vibration measurements and following finite-element analyses of the cooling structure. Comments are made on the updated performance level and damage state of the structure using the results of these measurements and corresponding numerical analyses. An attempt was also made to assess the applicability of traditional displacement-based vulnerability estimation methods in the health monitoring of structures under vibrations with a character different from those due to seismic excitations.

Since 1984, block-type reinforced earth wall with geogrid reinforcement has been widely used for retaining wall applications till now in Korea. The use of geogrid as a reinforcement in the reinforced earth wall is steadily increased in an amount over 1,500,000㎡ in a year However, still need exists that some problems in design and construction practices should be made to review, Therefore, this paper reviewed reasonable criteria for selection of backfills, design details considering the effect of the upper soil slope on reinforced earth wall, horizontal displacement of facing block during compaction, and the damage of geogrid reinforcements on the edge part of facing block. Finally, alternative methods of measures on those problems are proposed.

A number of efforts had been sought to instrument bridges for the purpose of structural monitoring and assessment. The outcome of these efforts, as gauged by advances in the understanding of the definition of structural damage and their role in sensor selection as well as in the design of cost and data-effective monitoring systems, has itself been difficult to assess. The authors' experience with the design, calibration, and operation of a monitoring system for the Kishwaukee Bridge in Illinois has provided several lessons that bear upon these concerns. The systems have performed well in providing a continuous, low-cost monitoring platform for bridge engineers with immediate relevant information.

In this study, the variations of transformed impact factors and load carrying capacity of highway bridges measured from the state of expansion joint are evaluated. the field loading tests were performed on the highway bridge with damaged expansion joint to investigate the variation of the load carrying capacity. From the field loading tests in case that damaged expansion joint exist or do not exist, the static displacements and dynamic displacements were measured, and TIF were calculated, respectively. dynamic test is performed in order to estimate dynamic displacement and TIF according to the level of damage of expansion joint. From the results of TIF, the load carrying capacity of highway bridges with damaged expansion joint were estimated.
