The use of fragility curves in the design of bridges is becoming common these days. In this study, experimental data have been used to develop fragility curves for the potential of girder unseating of a three-segment bridge and a bridge-abutment system including the influence of spatially varying ground motions, pounding, and abutment movement. The ground excitations were simulated based on the design spectra for different soil conditions. The Newmarket Viaduct replacement bridge in Auckland was used as the prototype bridge. These fragility curves were also applied to the 2010 Darfield and 2011 Christchurch earthquakes. The study showed that for bridges with similar characteristics as the chosen prototype and with similar fundamental frequencies, pounding could increase the probability of girder unseating by up to 35% and 30% based on the AASHTO and NZTA seating length requirements, respectively. The assumption of uniform ground excitations in many design practices, such as the NZTA requirements, could potentially be disastrous as girders might have a very good chance of unseating (as much as 53% higher chances when considering spatial variation of ground motions) even when they are designed not to. In the case of superstructures with dissimilar frequencies, the assumption of fixed abutments could significantly overestimate the girder unseating potential when pounding was ignored and underestimate the chances when pounding was considered. Bridges subjected to spatially varying ground excitations simulated based on the New Zealand design spectra for soft soil conditions with weak correlation shows the highest chances of girders falling off, of up to 65% greater than for shallow soil excitations.

This paper describes several reliability models to estimate COMS ground segment availability and shows assessed availability according to GS function. Due to a back-up concept among three ground center, SOC will have all H/W and S/W module to be installed in MSC and KOSC site. Therefore, all configurations and availability parameters for H/W and S/W modules in MSC and KOSC are assumed as equal with those in SOC, if related modules have same function. Prior to access availability over COMS GS function, Availability related to fundamental configuration such as series, parallel, partial operation, and module combined H/W and S/W is described. Consequently, all functions are expected to operate with more than 99% of availability.

쉴드 터널의 세그먼트라이닝은 일반적으로 배수시스템을 채용한 재래식 터널과 달리, 비배수 방식을 채택하여 건설된다. 하지만 비배수 터널로 건설된 경우 시간의 경과에 따른 열화의 진행으로 누수가 증가하여, 장기적으로는 설계시 적용된 비배수 개념이 유지되지 않는다. 세그먼트 터널에서 이음부는 변위와 누수가 주로 빌생되는 부분으로, 특히 누수는 이음부를 통하여 일어나는 경우가 대부분이다 이에 본 논문에서는 전력구 터널을 모델로 선정하여 라이닝 이음부의 열화로 인한 누수가 터널의 세그만트 라이닝에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 라이닝 전반열화 조건과 이음부의 전반 열화 및 국부 열화 조건으로 설정하여 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 라이닝 이음부의 열화로 인한 누수가 기준량 초과 시 그라우트 주입구를 이용하여 재주입시 누수제어가 가능한지 여부를 수치해석을 통하여 조사하였다. 해석결과 세그먼트 라이닝 및 이음부의 누수로 인한 터널과 지반 간 수리 상호작용 메커니즘을 알 수 있었으며, 시공 중 라이닝 투수성 품질관리, 운영 중 누수관라의 기준을 설정하는데 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Ground displacements caused by the construction of overlapping twin shield tunnels with small turning radius are complex, especially under special geological conditions of construction. To investigate the ground displacements caused due to shield machines in the unique calcareous sand layers in Israel for the first time and determine the main factors affecting the ground displacements, field monitoring, laboratory geological analysis, theoretical calculations, and parameter studies were adopted. By using rod extensometers, inclinometers, total stations, and automatic segment-displacement monitors, subsurface tunneling-induced displacement, surface settlement, and displacement of the down-track tunnel segments caused by the construction of an up-track tunnel were analyzed. The up-track tunnel and the down-track tunnel pass through different stratum, resulting in different construction parameters and ground displacements. The laws of variation of thrust and torque, soil pressure in the chamber, excavated soil quantity, synchronous grouting pressure, and grout volume of the two tunnels from parallel to fully overlapping orientations were compared. The thrust and torque of the shield in the fine sand are larger than those in the Kurkar layer, and the grouting amount in fine sand is unstable. According to fuzzy statistics and Gaussian curve fitting of the shield tunneling speed, the tunneling speed in the Kurkar stratum is twice that in the fine-sand stratum.

Prestressed ground anchors are important structural elements in geotechnical engineering. Despite their widespread usage, the design process is often significantly simplified. One of the major drawbacks of commonly used design methods is the assumption that skin friction is mobilized uniformly along an anchor's fixed length, one consequence of which is that a progressive failure phenomenon is neglected. The following paper introduces an alternative design approach - a computer algorithm employing the load-transfer method. The method is modified for the analysis of anchors and combined with a procedure for the derivation of load-transfer functions based on commonly available laboratory tests. The load-transfer function is divided into a pre-failure (hardening) and a post-failure (softening) segment. In this way, an aspect of non-linear stress-strain soil behavior is incorporated into the algorithm. The influence of post-grouting in terms of radial stress update, diameter enlargement, and grout consolidation is included. The axial stiffness of the anchor body is not held constant. Instead, it gradually decreases as a direct consequence of tensile cracks spreading in the grout material. An analysis of the program's operation is performed via a series of parametric studies in which the influence of governing parameters is investigated. Finally, two case studies concerning three investigation anchor load tests are presented.

Recently shield TBM tunnellings are being applied to subway construction in Korean cities. Generally these kinds of tunnellings have the problems in the stability of ground such as subsidence because urban subway is constructed in the shallow depth. A sinkhole occurred on the road just above the tunnel during tunneling in Kwangju, so a survey for upper layer of the tunnel was needed. But conventional Ground Probing Radar can't be applicable due to the presence of steel-mesh screen in the shield segment, so no existent geophysical method is applicable in this site. Because the outer surface of each shield segment is electrically insulated, dipole-dipole resistivity method which is popular in engineering site investigation, was tried to this survey for the first time. Specially manufactured flexible ring-type electrodes were installed into the grouting holes at an interval of 2.4 m on the ceiling. The K-Ohm II system which has been developed by KIGAM and tested successfully in many sites, was used in this site. The system consists of 1000Volt-1Ampere constant-current transmitter, optically isolated 24 bit sigma-delta A/D conversion receiver - maximum 12 channel simultaneous measurements, and graphical automatic acquisition software for easy data quality check in real time. Borehole camera logging with circular white LED lighting was also done to investigate the state of the layer. Measured resistivity data lack of some stations due to failing opening lids of holes, shows general high-low trend well. The dipole-dipole resistivity inversion results discriminate (1) one approximately 4 meter diameter cavity (grouted but incompletely hardened, so low resistivity - less than $30{\Omega}m$), (2) weak zone (100-200${\Omega}m$), and (3) hard zone (high resistivity - more than 1000${\Omega}m$) very well for the distance of 320 meters. The 2-D inversion neglects slight absolute 3-D effect, but we can get satisfactory and useful information. Acquired resistivity section and video tapes by borehole camera logging will be reserved and reused if some problem occurs in this site in the future.

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively examine the biomechanical variables of Fouette turns for expert and beginner ballet dancers and to determine the difference in the variables between the two groups. sixteen female ballet dancers participated in this study. They were divided into an expert group(age, $25.38{\pm}1.92$ years; height, $168.38{\pm}4.66$ cm; mass, $49.63{\pm}4.41$ kg) and a beginner group(age, $20.88{\pm}1.13$ years; height, $161.63{\pm}7.42$ cm; mass, $48.88{\pm}3.64$ kg) depending on their ballet experience. Descriptive data were expressed as mean ${\pm}$ standard deviation (SD) for all variables including the duration, displacement of the center of the body, velocity of the center of the body, angle of the body segments, angular velocity of the body segments, ground reaction force, lower extremity torque, muscle activity, body weight, age, and body mass. An independence t-test was conducted to determine how the following variables differed between the beginners and experts: duration, displacement of the center of the body, velocity of the center of the body, angle of the body segments, angular velocity of the body segments, ground reaction force, lower extremity torque, and muscle activity. All comparisons were made at the p<0.05 significance level. The results show that the experts scored high on the biomechanical variables, although all the variables were not significant. Significant differences were found in the angle of body segments, angular velocity of the body segments, lower extremity torque, and muscle activity(p<0.05). The findings of this study demonstrate that the experts have the required skill to make an improved Fouette turn. The findings may also help ballet dancers to learn and understand the Fouette turn.

본 연구는 복층터널 생애전주기 안정성 평가 프로그램 개발을 위한 초기 연구로서, 복층터널 안전성 분석을 위한 빔-스프링 모델 기반의 구조해석 솔버를 개발하였다. 구축된 복층터널의 빔-스프링 모델을 사용하여 중간슬래브 지지방식, 터널심도 및 지반탄성계수가 복층터널의 안정성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였으며, 상용 구조해석 프로그램과 비교검토를 수행하였다. 중간슬래브의 지지방식은 세그먼트 라이닝과 일체화 거동에 영향을 미치고, 터널심도가 깊어질수록 중간슬래브가 복층터널의 안정성에 미치는 영향력이 상대적으로 작아지는 것으로 판단된다. 지반탄성계수와 중간슬래브가 세그먼트 라이닝 부재력 분포에 미치는 영향의 관계는 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

토사지반과 핵석지반에서 EPB 쉴드 TBM을 통한 성공적인 터널 시공을 위해서 굴착면 전방의 지반 정보를 정확히 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 전기비저항 탐사와 유도분극(induced polarization) 탐사를 함께 활용하여 복합토사지반과 핵석지반에 대한 전방 예측 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 토사지반의 구성은 EPB 쉴드 TBM에서 첨가재 선택에 필수요소이며, 핵석지반은 기계화 시공에서 난이도가 높은 지반이기 때문이다. 탐사는 TBM이 굴진을 멈추고 세그먼트 1링을 조립할 시에 커터헤드에 설치된 4개의 전극을 활용하여 수행된다고 보았다. 토사지반의 경우 화강풍화토, 모래, 점토로 구성된 복합지반에 대해 축소모사하여 실내실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 전기비저항은 복합지반 이론해와 상당히 일치하였으며 유도분극은 경우에 따라 전기비저항과 경향성이 일치하거나 완전히 상반되었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 실제 현장에서 적용 가능한 토사지반 예측방안을 제시하였다. 핵석지반의 경우 균질지반에서 핵석지반으로 굴착해 나가는 상황을 축소모사하였으며 핵석의 불규칙성을 난수를 통해 모사하였다. 실험결과 전기비저항은 핵석지반에 접근할수록 증가하였고 유도분극은 불규칙하게 오르내림을 거듭하는 경향을 나타내었다.
