Depending on the water depth and composition of seabed, there exist different alternatives for the wind turbine supporting structures. Among several types of the structures, the monopile foundation is the dominant solution for support structure, accounting for over 80% of the offshore wind turbines in Europe. To develop the monopile foundation suitable for domestic ocean environment, a basic design of a transition piece was carried out. This paper presents the design procedure of a flange connected transition piece and results of the structural safety assessment.

Recently, as size of building structure becomes larger, mat area of building structure is supported on Inhomogeneous foundation. The equipment machineries in building are mostly on basement story. The slab of the lowest basement story with equipment machineries is considerded as concentrated masses on plate supported on foundation. In this paper. vibration analysis of rectangular thin plate is done by use of rectangular finite element with 4 nodes. (omitted)

The fluid loading effect has been investigated for the shipboard equipment foundation mobility with finite element model. For the purpose, two kinds of finite element models for 60m class ship have been developed: global and local model. The former is for low frequency range and the latter for middle frequency range. These finite element models contain added mass explaining fluid loading effect. Added mass has been implemented with virtual mass matrix derived from Laplace equation governing fluid surrounding ship hull. The mobility assessment result for diesel generator foundation of the objective model shows that the fluid loading effect should be considered, especially in low frequency range, to more accurately assess shipboard equipment foundation mobility.

The slab of the lowest basement story with equipment machineries is considered as plate supported on foundation with concentrated masses. In this paper, vibration analysis of rectangular thin plate is done by use of rectangular finite element with 4 nodes. The solution of this paper are compared with existing solution and natural frequencies of thin plates, with concented mass, on inhomogeneous Pasternak foundation are calculated

In order to seek out methods to reduce safety accidents caused by construction machinery and equipment, this study collects data about safety accidents and draws main risk factors by construction from the data, through SNA. It aimed to suggest safety management points to be used in future construction fields, by analyzing risk index of such factors. The finding can be summarized: First, Backhoe Bucket is the risk factor for crash accidents of average workers in earth works; boring machines-maintenance is the risk factor for fall accidents of construction machinery operators in foundation works; bending machine-reinforcing rod processing is the risk factor for jamming accidents of reinforcing rod engineers in frame works; and mobile crane-hook is the risk factor for crash accidents of average workers in lifting works. Second, works can be arranged in turn, according to the risk index: earth, lifting, frame and foundation works. Risk factors can be also arranged according to the risk index: Backhoe in earth works, pile drivers in foundation works, bending machines in frame works and mobile cranes in lifting works. This study has some limits, in that it only analyzed main machinery/equipment, among various kinds of them, for earth, foundation, frame and temporary works (lifting works) and used data collected over three years. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an analysis using big data, by collecting additional data about a lot of machinery/equipment in future construction fields.

An empirical formula proposed by Petersson and Plunt(PP's formula) and finite element analysis for impedance calculation of ship equipment foundations are investigated by comparing the analysis results with those of experimental results. The PP's formula well estimates resonant frequency of the foundations and impedance level except around the resonant region although the impedance level around the resonant frequency is heavily dependent upon the assumed loss factor. The results show that the PP's formula and finite element models can be complementarily used to estimate the impedance characteristics of various types of foundation of ships in design stage.

As buildings nowadays become taller in height and larger in size the safety review of lifting plan takes larger portion in construction project management. However, the cost and safety in lifting plan have a contradictory effect on each other. Therefore, an optimization algorithm needs devising as a solution of the contradictory problem. In many cases at construction sites, selections and stability review of tower cranes are assigned to equipment suppliers or field managers, which cause the problems in safety and cost of the projects. To improve the part of the current situation, a study on the optimization algorithm for designing the foundation of tower cranes is conducted in this study, which can be utilized by equipment suppliers or field managers to check the stability of tower cranes easily and promptly without substantial knowledge.

This study was carried out to suggest the effective reinforcing method which can evaluate the tensile capacity of cast-in-place anchor with cracks. Currently, cast-in-place anchor is used widely for the fastening of equipment in Korean NPPs. 26 test specimens with a single anchor under 4 cracked conditions are prepared using plain concrete. The distance between crack and anchor and reinforcing materials were selected as the main test variable. The tensile force was applied using a actuator with a capacity of 100 tonf using a displacement control method of 0.5 mm/min velocity. Test results from this result show the combination of carbon plate and epoxy will be more available for repair and reinforcement of equipment foundation system in NPPs. Further experimental work is indeed involving the epoxy injection effect and adjustment of reinforcing location of carbon sheet.

Leakage incidents due to the fault of hazmat tank foundations are likely to cause the tremendous fire disaster in the national industry cluster area. The proper design and construction of tank foundation should be required to prevent the tank fire. In the study, the types of typical tank foundations were classified and modeling the individual tank type for 3D FEM analysis was performed to suggest the guideline for the design and construction of tank foundations. Matters to be attended of the foundation design and construction are reviewed through the comparison assessment of the numerical analysis results of the foundation types.

This paper studies the finite element modeling and analytical parameters for the numerical evaluation of dynamic stiffness of large foundation for shipboard equipments such as marine diesel engine. For the purpose, numerical method and procedure to evaluate the dynamic stiffness are established based on the impact test method, which are applied for the dynamic stiffness evaluation of a real diesel generator foundation of ship. Numerical investigations compared with the measured data are carried out to evaluate the effects of modeling ranges of ship substructure, finite element sizes, lower support structures and damping coefficients. From the results, modeling and analytical parameters for proper evaluation of dynamic stiffness of large foundation of shipboard equipment are suggested.
