  • In general, the design of structures and its construction processes are fundamentally dependent on their foundation and supporting ground. Thus, it is imperative to understand the behavior of the soil under certain stress and drainage conditions. As it is well known that certain characteristics and behaviors of soils with fines are highly dependent on water content, it is critical to accurately measure and identify the status of the soils in terms of water contents. Liquid limit is one of the important soil index properties to define such characteristics. However, liquid limit measurement can be affected by the proficiency of the operator. On the other hand, dynamic properties of soils are also necessary in many different applications and current testing methods often require special equipment in the laboratory, which is often expensive and sensitive to test conditions. In order to address these concerns and advance the state of the art, this study explores a novel method to determine the liquid limit of cohesive soil by employing video-based vibration analysis. In this research, the modal characteristics of cohesive soil columns are extracted from videos by utilizing phase-based motion estimation. By utilizing the proposed method that analyzes the optical flow in every pixel of the series of frames that effectively represents the motion of corresponding points of the soil specimen, the vibration characteristics of the entire soil specimen could be assessed in a non-contact and non-destructive manner. The experimental investigation results compared with the liquid limit determined by the standard method verify that the proposed method reliably and straightforwardly identifies the liquid limit of clay. It is envisioned that the proposed approach could be applied to measuring liquid limit of soil in practical field, entertaining its simple implementation that only requires a digital camera or even a smartphone without the need for special equipment that may be subject to the proficiency of the operator.

  • The effects of interaction between concrete-gypsum interface and edge crack on the failure behavior of the specimens in senicircular bend (SCB) test were studied in the laboratory and also simulated numerically using the discrete element method. Some quarter circular specimens of gypsum and concrete with 5 cm radii and hieghts were separately prepared. Then the semicircular testing specimens were made by attaching one gypsum and one concrete sample to one another using a special glue and one edge crack is produced (in the interface) by do not using the glue in that part of the interface. The tensile strengths of concrete and gypsum samples were separately measured as 2.2 MPa and 1.3 MPa, respectively. during all testing performances a constant loading rate of 0.005 mm/s were stablished. The proposed testing method showed that the mechanism of failure and fracture in the brittle materials were mostly governed by the dimensions and number of discontinuities. The fracture toughnesses of the SCB samples were related to the fracture patterns during the failure processes of these specimens. The tensile behaviour of edge notch was related to the number of induced tensile cracks which were increased by decreasing the joint length. The fracture toughness of samples was constant by increasing the joint length. The failure process and fracture pattern in the notched semi-circular bending specimens were similar for both methods used in this study (i.e., the laboratory tests and the simulation procedure using the particle flow code (PFC2D)).

  • South Korea experiences few large scale erosion and sedimentation problems, however, there are numerous local sedimentation problems. A reliable and consistent approach to modelling and management for sediment processes are desirable in the country. In this study, field measurements of sediment concentration from 34 alluvial river basins in South Korea were used with the Modified Einstein Procedure (MEP) to determine the total sediment load at the sampling locations. And then the Flow Duration-Sediment Rating Curve (FD-SRC) method was used to estimate the specific degradation for all gauging stations. The specific degradation of most rivers were found to be typically 50-300 tons/㎢·yr. A model tree data mining technique was applied to develop a model for the specific degradation based on various watershed characteristics of each watershed from GIS analysis. The meaningful parameters are: 1) elevation at the middle relative area of the hypsometric curve [m], 2) percentage of wetland and water [%], 3) percentage of urbanized area [%], and 4) Main stream length [km]. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of existing models is in excess of 1,250 tons/㎢·yr and the RMSE of the proposed model with 6 additional validations decreased to 65 tons/㎢·yr. Erosion loss maps from the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), satellite images, and aerial photographs were used to delineate the geospatial features affecting erosion and sedimentation. The results of the geospatial analysis clearly shows that the high risk erosion area (hill slopes and construction sites at urbanized area) and sedimentation features (wetlands and agricultural reservoirs). The result of physiographical analysis also indicates that the watershed morphometric characteristic well explain the sediment transport. Sustainable management with the data mining methodologies and geospatial analysis could be helpful to solve various erosion and sedimentation problems under different conditions.

  • 수위만의 함수로 작성되는 기존의 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개선하기 위하여 비교적 쉽게 취득할 수 있는 하천의 폭, 넓이, 윤변, 하상경사 등 기본적인 수리특성인자를 활용하고 확률론적 방법인 엔트로피 기법을 연계하여 하천 유량을 산정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 평균유속과 최대유속과의 관계를 분석하여 하천의 평형상태를 나타내는 엔트로피 함수를 도출하고, 이를 활용하여 하천 수리특성 인자가 반영된 유속공식으로 하천유량을 산정하는 방법이다. 캐나다 알버타 대학 등에서 제공된 수리실험실 및 자연하천 수문자료를 활용하여 유량을 산정한 결과 기존 수위-유량관계곡선식에서 추정된 유량에 비해 오차가 작고 실측치에 근사하여 개선효과가 큰 것으로 분석되었다.

  • 기후 변화에 따른 위험성은 전 세계적으로 오랜 기간 강조되고 있으며, 이를 극복하기 위한 노력은 해운분야에서도 국제해사 기구를 중심으로 이어지고 있다. 연소과정에서 발생한 매연을 제어하기 위하여 매연 생성 특성에 관한 연구는 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 에틸렌 가스를 기반으로 한 대향류 확산화염에서 불활성 기체인 질소를 혼합하여 화염온도, 화염형태, 매연 생성 관련된 화학종의 상태변화를 확인하기 위해 광소멸법과 화학반응 수치해석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과. 질소의 혼합비율이 증가함에 따라 화염온도 감소와 매연체적분율 감소로 이루어졌다. 매연 입자가 분포하는 구간도 감소하였으며, 30% 이상 혼합비율이 높아지면 체적분율 감소율이 감소하였다. 매연 성장에 관여하는 화학종들의 몰분율도 감소하였다. HACA 반응 관련 화학종은 탄화수소 연료 비율에 따라 영향을 받으나, 홀수탄소 경로 관련 화학종은 탄화수소 연료 비율뿐만 아니라 화염온도 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다.

  • 본 연구는 캐나다 출신의 NFBC 소속 작가인 미쉘 꾸르놔이에가 사용하는 Ink on paper 기법을 고찰하고, 이를 통하여 실현된 애니메이션 "Soif"(2013)에 나타나는 표현양식인 메타모포시스(metamorphosis)가 내러티브의 구성을 위하여 구현된 의미와 상징을 고찰한다. 꾸르놔이에는 애니메이션의 사실적인 움직임을 벗어나기 위해 Ink on paper 표현양식을 사용하였으며, "Soif"에서는 극중 여자의 몸 캐릭터를 중심으로 일반적인 기승전결 형식이 아닌 인물과 사물의 이미지 변형을 메타모포시스 표현양식을 통해 보여준다. 이는 초현실주의와 무의식의 세계를 표현하기 위한 애니메이션에서의 즉흥적인 방법을 도입한 Ink on paper 기법을 통해 형상화된다. 그리고 이 작품에 적용된 자동기술법은 애니메이션을 추상적이고 형이상학적으로 표현하는데 영향을 주고 있다. 결국 이러한 표현양식과 기법은 작품에 등장하는 캐릭터의 연계성과 동일성을 강조하여 주제를 표현하는 데 매우 적절하게 작용한다.

  • This paper proposes a modified bar simulation method for analyzing the shear lag effect of variable sectional box girder with multiple cells. This theoretical method formulates the equivalent area of stiffening bars and the allocation proportion of shear flows in webs, and re-derives the governing differential equations of bar simulation method. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by the model test and finite element (FE) analysis of a simply supported multi-cell box girder with constant depth. Subsequently, parametric analysis is conducted to explore the mechanism of shear lag effect of varied sectional cantilever box girder with multiple cells. Results show that the shear lag behavior of variable box-section cantilever box girder is weaker than that of box girder with constant section. It is recommended to make the gradient of shear flow in the web with respect to span length vary as smoothly as possible for eliminating the shear lag effect of box girder. An effective countermeasure for diminishing shear lag effect is to increase the number of box chambers or change the variation manner of bridge depth. The shear lag effect of varied sectional cantilever box girder will get more server when the length of central flanges is shorter than 0.26 or longer than 0.36 times of total width of top flange, as well as the cantilever length exceeds 0.29 times of total length of box's flange. Therefore, the distance between central webs can adjust the shear lag effect of box girder. Especially, the width ratio of cantilever plate with respect to total length of top flange is proposed to be no more 1/3.

  • The purpose of this study is to demonstrate and verify the application of phase-control absolute-acceleration-feedback active tuned mass dampers (PCA-ATMD) to multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) building structures. In addition, servo speed control technique has been developed as a replacement for force control in order to mitigate the negative effects caused by friction and inertia. The essence of the proposed PCA-ATMD is to achieve a 90° phase lag for a structure by implementing the desired control force so that the PCA-ATMD can receive the maximum power flow with which to effectively mitigate the structural vibration. An MDOF building structure with a PCA-ATMD and a real-time filter forming a complete system is modeled using a state-space representation and is presented in detail. The feedback measurement for the phase control algorithm of the MDOF structure is compact, with only the absolute acceleration of one structural floor and ATMD's velocity relative to the structure required. A discrete-time direct output-feedback optimization method is introduced to the PCA-ATMD to ensure that the control system is optimized and stable. Numerical simulation and shaking table experiments are conducted on a three-story steel shear building structure to verify the performance of the PCA-ATMD. The results indicate that the absolute acceleration of the structure is well suppressed whether considering peak or root-mean-square responses. The experiment also demonstrates that the control of the PCA-ATMD can be decentralized, so that it is convenient to apply and maintain to real high-rise building structures.
