  • At the preliminary design stage, the orientations of laminae in a laminate are not known. This fact discourages the most of engineers from the beginning. If the quasi-isotropic constants are used, it halps the design engineer greatly to start his work. If conventional mechanics and elasticity theories can be used, the effort for design and analysis is greatly reduced. This paper reports the possibility of using the classical mechanics at the preliminary design stage for the laminated composite primary structure for civil construction. The result is quite promissing.

  • Motivated by the emergency scheduling in a transportation network, this paper considers a transportation problem, in which, the truck times and transportation costs are assumed as uncertain variables. To meet the demand in the practical applications, two optimization objectives are considered, one is the total costs and another is the completion times. And then, a multi-objective optimization model is developed according to the situation in applications. Because there are commensurability and conflicting between the two objectives commonly, a solution does not necessarily exist that is best with respective to the two objectives. Therefore, the problem is reduced to a single objective model, which is an uncertain programming with a chance-constrain. After some analysis, its equivalent deterministic form is obtained, which is a nonlinear programming. Based on a stepwise optimization strategy, a solution method is developed to solve the problem. Finally, the computational results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our model and algorithm.

  • 기존에 시행 중인 도로교통 소음을 저감시키기 위한 방안인 방음벽과 저소음 포장은 보편적으로 사용되어 오고 있으나, 몇 가지 단점을 가지고 있다. 방음벽은 높은 시공으로 인한 도시 경관 저하, 과도한 시공비 및 유지비, 조류가 방음벽에 부딪혀 유발되는 생태계 교란 현상 등 여러 문제점을 가지고 있다. 또한, 저소음 배수성 포장은 타이어와 도로 포장간의 마찰 소음을 원천적으로 저감시키는 효율적인 공법이나, 시공 후 일정기간이 지나면 공극이 막혀 성능이 저하되어 유지 보수가 적절하게 필요한 단점이 있다. 수음점의 거리별 소음예측을 통하여 일반적인 원소음과 능동형 소음 저감 기술(ANC) 적용 후의 효과를 알아보고, 소음원의 제어 및 영향거리에 따른 저감 목표를 예측하고자 한다.

  • Although the evolution and deployment of information technologies will undoubtedly play an important role in the current construction industry, many engineers are still unsure of the economic value of using these technologies. Especially for the planning of a construction project, a collaboration system to utilize the whole resources is a essential tool for the successful outcome. A detailed, authoritative, and readily accessible information model is needed to enable engineers to make cost-effective decisions among established and innovative plan alternatives. Most engineers rely on limited private experiences when they create solutions or design alternatives. Initial planning is crucial for the success of the construction project. Most construction projects are done through collaboration of engineers who have different specialized knowledge. Information technologies can dramatically enhance the performance of the collaboration. For the information delivery, we need a mediator between engineers. Object-based 3-D models are useful for the communication and decision assistance for the intelligent project design. In this paper, basic guidelines for the 3-D design according to different construction processes are suggested. Adequate interoperability of 3-D objects from any CAD system is essential for the collaboration. Basic architectures of geometry models and their information layer were established to enable interoperability for design checks, estimation and simulation. A typical international project for roadway was chosen for the pilot project. 3-D GIS model was created and bridge information models were created considering several requirements for planning and decision making of the project. From the pilot test, the integrated construction project planning using 3-D information models was discussed and several guidelines were suggested.

  • An efficient cost management is important for the domestic social overhead capital(SOC) based on a long lifecycle after 30 years since completion. Maintenance in South Korea have had the restrictions of consistency and suitability of decision-making by the establishment of a budget plan based on the company estimate and repair and reinforcement methods determined by the inspection and diagnosis engineers' subjective determination for each facility. To resolve this issue, the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology is currently in development of a methodology to propose an optimum maintenance method according to the damage of components by artificial intelligence. This study has deduced the primary factors by analyzing information generated during bridge maintenance and management as a prior step for the development of technologies, and conducted a preliminary analysis to select the optimum artificial intelligence technology.

  • Commercial 28 algae removal technologies that have been applied in domestic rivers and lakes with green tide were investigated, analyzed and classified. The classification of algae removal technologies was based on the three criteria (i.e., principle, flow rate of water body, and application period). Also, algae removal technologies were evaluated in terms of cost effectiveness, field applicability, effect durability, and eco friendliness. From the analysis results, technologies using physical, chemical, biological, and convergent controls were 32.2%, 25%, 21.4%, and 21.4%, respectively. The 75% of technologies have been applied to stagnant water body (${\leq}0.2m/s$). Also, algae harvesting ship with dissolved air flotation, conveyor belt and filtration processes and natural floating coagulant were found to have better field applicability, compared to other technologies. However, proper algae removal technology in specific rivers and lakes should be chosen after the evaluation of long-term pilot scale field test. Also, development of energy and resource recovery technologies from algae biomass is warranted.

  • The main aim of this study was to evaluate the bending and torsional behaviors of representative regular type cap beams in elevated guideway structures. A1/2 scale model copping beam, excluding the column portion, was designed, constructed, and tested. The copping beam was subjected to horizontal monotonic and cyclic loads with a constant vertical load over the loading stage. The damage was very much dominated by torsion. Experiment results showed that the spiral confinement in the beam helped to restrain the opening of torsional cracks in the column zone. Hence, the torsional strength of the cap beam contributesgreatly to the confinement conditions of the column.

  • IIn this study, a wave-surge-tide coupling numerical model was developed to consider nonlinear interaction. Then, this model was applied and calculations were made for a storm surge on the southeast coast. The southeast coast was damaged by typhoon "Maemi" in 2003. In this study, we used a nearshore wind wave model called SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore). In addition, the Meyer model was used for the typhoon model, along with an ocean circulation model called POM (Princeton Ocean Model). The wave-surge-tide coupling numerical model could calculate exact parameters when each model was changed to consider the nonlinear interaction.
