A new computational approach for the rain load on the transmission tower is presented to obtain the responses of system subjected to the wind and rain combined excitations. First of all, according to the similarity theory, the aeroelastic modeling of high-voltage transmission tower is introduced and two kinds of typical aeroelastic models of transmission towers are manufactured for the wind tunnel tests, which are the antelope horn tower and pole tower. And then, a formula for the pressure time history of rain loads on the tower structure is put forward. The dynamic response analyses and experiments for the two kinds of models are carried out under the wind-induced and wind-rain-induced actions with the uniform and turbulent flow. It has been shown that the results of wind-rain-induced responses are bigger than those of only wind-induced responses and the rain load influence on the transmission tower can't be neglected during the strong rainstorm. The results calculated by the proposed method have a good agreement with those by the wind tunnel test. In addition, the wind-rain-induced responses along and across the wind direction are in the same order of response magnitude of towers.

The integrity assessment of reactor vessel internals should be conducted in the design process to secure the safety of nuclear power plants. Various loads such as self-weight, seismic load, flow-induced load, and preload are applied to the internals. Therefore, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, Section III, defines the stress limit for reactor vessel internals. The present study focused on structural response analyses of the upper guide structure upper flange. The distributions of the stress intensity in the flange body were analyzed under various design load cases during normal operation. The allowable stress intensities along the expected sections of stress concentration were derived from the results of the finite element analysis for evaluating the structural integrity of the flange design. Furthermore, seismic analyses of the upper flange were performed to identify dynamic behavior with respect to the seismic and impact input. The mode superposition and full transient methods were used to perform time-history analyses, and the displacement at the lower end of the flange was obtained. The effect of the damping ratio on the response of the flange was also evaluated, and the acceleration was obtained. The results of elastic and seismic analyses in this study will be used as basic information to judge whether a flange design meets the acceptance criteria.

Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSPs) have been developed as a practical tool to estimate the seismic demand of structures. Several researches have accomplished to minimize errors of NSPs, namely pushover procedures, in the Nonlinear Time History Analysis (NTHA), as the most exact method. The most important issue in a typical pushover procedure is the pattern and technique of loading which are extracted based on structural dynamic fundamentals. In this paper, the coefficients of modal force combination is focused involving a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm to find the optimum load pattern which results in a response with minimum amount of errors in comparison to the NTHA counterpart. Other parameters of the problem are based on the FEMA recommendations for pushover analysis of building structures. The proposed approach is implemented on a high-rise 20 storey concrete moment resisting frame under three earthquake records. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the studied procedure the results are presented beside other well-known pushover methods such as MPA and the FEMA procedures, and the results show the efficiency of the proposed load patterns.

A new site classification system and site coefficients based on local site conditions in Korea were developed and implemented as a part of minimum design load requirements for general seismic design. The new site classification system adopted bedrock depth and average shear wave velocity of soil above the bedrock as parameters for site classification. These code provisions were passed through a public hearing process before it was enacted. The public hearing process recommended to modify the naming of site classes and adjust the amplification factors so that the level of short-period amplification is suitable for economical seismic design. In this paper, the new code provisions were assessed using dynamic centrifuge tests and by comparing the design response spectra (DRS) with records from 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, the largest earthquake in history of instrumental seismic observation in Korea. The dynamic centrifuge tests were performed to simulate the representative Korean site conditions, such as shallow depth to bedrock and short-period amplification characteristics, and the results corroborated with the new DRS. The Gyeongju earthquake records also showed good agreement with the DRS. In summary, the new code provisions are reliable for representing the site amplification characteristic of shallow bedrock condition in Korea.

Recently, the concept of damped outrigger system has been proposed for tall buildings. But, structural characteristics and design method of this system were not sufficiently investigated to date. In this study, the dynamic response control performance of outrigger damper has been analyzed. To this end, a simplified analysis model with outrigger damper system has been developed. An artificial wind of 1000 seconds with 0.1 second time steps was generated by using a Kaimal spectrum. Analysis results show that outrigger damper system is more effective up to 20-23% in the control of dynamic response compared to conventional outrigger system. The increase of outrigger damper capacity usually results in the improved control performance. However, it is necessary to select that proper stiffness and damping values of the outrigger damper system because, the outrigger damper having large capacity is result in heavy financial burden.

The purpose of this raper is to assess the benefits of frequency domain fatigue analysis and compare it with more conventional time domain techniques. The multi-body dynamic analysis, FE analysis and fatigue life prediction technique are applied for the frequency domain fatigue analysis. To obtain the dynamic load history used in the frequency domain fatigue analysis, the computer simulations running over typical road Profiles are carried out by utilizing vehicle dynamic model. The fatigue life estimation for the rear suspension system of small-sized passenger car is performed by using resonance durability analysis technique, and the estimation results are compared with the conventional quasi-static durability analysis results. For the pothole simulation, the percent changes, of the fatigue life between the two durability analysis techniques don't exceed 10%. But for the Belgian road simulation because of the resonance effect, the fatigue life using the resonance durability analysis technique are much smaller estimated than the quasi-static durability analysis results.

Recently, the concept of an outrigger damper system with a damper added to the existing outrigger system has been developed and applied for dynamic response control of high-rise buildings. However, the study on the structural characteristics and design method of Outrigger damper system is in the early stages. In this study, a 50 story high - rise building was designed and an outrigger damper system with viscoelastic damper was applied for wind response control. The time history analysis was performed by using the kaimal spectrum to create an artificial wind load for a total of 1,000 seconds at 0.1 second intervals. Analysis of the top horizontal maximum displacement response and acceleration response shows that outrigger damper systems are up to 28.33% and 49.26% more effective than conventional outrigger systems, respectively. Also, it is confirmed that the increase of damping ratio of dampers is effective for dynamic response control. However, since increasing the damping capacity increases the economic burden, it is necessary to select the appropriate stiffness and damping value of the outrigger damper system.

발파가 인근 시설물에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 규명하기 위해서는 발파하중 시간이력을 적용한 동적 해석을 수행해야 한다. 발파하중은 실측하기 어렵기에 다양한 참고문헌에서 제시된 경험적 시간이력이 일반적으로 사용된다. 경험적 폭굉압과 시간이력은 다양한 환경변수를 고려하여 보정해야 하지만 이에 대한 가이드라인이 명확하게 제시되지 않아 해석에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 시험발파를 모사하는 2차원 동적 수치해석을 수행하여 계측기록과 상응하는 경험적 발파하중 시간이력을 도출하였다. 발파로 인한 파쇄영역은 원형으로 가정하여 모델링 하였으며 발파하중을 경계벽에 수직방향으로 재하하였다. 특히, 해석 결과에 지반의 감쇠비는 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 이를 정확하게 산정해야 한다. 시험적으로 계산된 감쇠식의 기울기는 발파하중의 크기에는 영향을 받지 않으며 하중의 주파수와 지반의 감쇠비에 의해서만 결정되므로 지반 감쇠비는 발파 감쇠식에 상응하도록 결정하였다. 해석 결과, 발파하중은 암반의 파쇄에 소요되는 에너지 손실을 고려하지 않으므로 이를 보정없이 적용할 경우 발파로 인하여 유발되는 진동을 크게 과대예측하므로 이를 감소시켜야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

트럭 축하중에 의한 도로포장체의 응력과 변형은 대부분 다층 탄성 이론에 의해 예측된다. 대부분의 다층 탄성 이론에 의한 이론적 계산값이 연성 포장 재료의 점탄성적 거동특성, 동적 트럭 축하중, 비균등 타이어 접지압 및 형상등을 해석에 고려하지 못하므로, 계측값에 비해 매우 작은 값을 예측하므로서 도로 포장 두께설계가 과소 설계될 우려가 크다. 이와 같은 도로 포장체 구조해석시 이용되는 중요한 변동요소를 포장 재료의 물성 모델 측면, 비균등 접지압 및 형상 측면, 동적 유한요소해석 측면에서 분석하여 이용 가능한 모델을 본 논문에서 제안하였다. 경계조건 및 민감도 분석을 수행을 통한 효과적인 3차원 연성포장의 유한요소해석모델을 결정하는 방법론을 제안하였으며, 최적 유한요소모델 분석결과와 현장에서 취득한 결과와의 상호비교를 통하여 모델의 유의성을 검증하였으며, 동적 접지하중조건, 점탄성물성 모델 등을 3차원 유한요소 모델에 접목하고, 최적 경계조건을 결정하였다.
