Different incident angles of ground motions have been considered to evaluate the relationship between floor rotation and torsional irregularity coefficient. The issues specifically addressed are (1) variability in torsional irregularity coefficient and floor rotations with varying incident angles of ground motion (2) contradictory relationship between floor rotation and torsional irregularity coefficient. To explore the stated issues, an evaluation based on relative variation in seismic response quantities of linear asymmetric structure under the influence of horizontal bi-directional excitation with varying seismic orientations has been carried out using response history analysis. Several typical earthquake records are applied to the structure to demonstrate the relative variations of floor rotation and torsional irregularity coefficient for different seismic orientations. It is demonstrated that (1) Torsional irregularity coefficient (TIC) increases as the story number decreases when the ground motion is considered along reference axes of the structure. For incident angles other than structure's reference axes, TIC either decreases as the story number decreases or there is no specific trend for TIC. Floor rotation increases in proportion to the story number when the ground motion is considered along reference axes of structure. For incident angles other than structure's reference axes, floor rotation either decreases as the story number increases or there is no specific trend for floor rotation and (2) TIC and floor rotation seems to be approximately inversely proportional to each other when the ground motion is considered along reference axes of the structure. For incident angles other than structure's reference axes, the relationship can even become directly proportional instead of inversely proportional.

본 연구는 도시철도 선로를 인접하여 시공되는 대형굴착공사에 따른 기존 지하철 선로구조물의 구조적 안정성을 검토하고자 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석을 바탕으로 단계별 시공과정에서 발생되는 궤도틀림의 영향을 해석적으로 도출하였으며 관련 기준과의 비교를 통해 궤도변형측면에서의 안정성을 검토하였다. 분석결과, 줄틀림과 면틀림과 같이 일정거리에서의 상대변위차를 바탕으로 평가되는 궤도틀림 항목의 경우 인접굴착공사 시종점부와 같이 기존 구조물의 변형이 시작되는 위치에서 가장 명확하게 발생되었다. 반면 궤도의 전반적인 연직 및 수평변위는 공사구간의 중심에서 최대변형이 발생되었다. 인접굴착공사에 따른 기존 구조물의 변형측면의 취약위치는 공사구간의 중심과 같이 구조물의 변형이 크게 발생되는 위치뿐만 아니라 궤도틀림 측면에서는 공사 시종점 구간이 취약위치가 될 수 있음을 해석적으로 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 3차원 수치해석을 통해 철도 노반에 인접한 굴착공사 시 궤도의 틀림을 분석하였다. 철도 노반에 인접한 굴착 공사는 열차 주행에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 높아 공사 시 인접 구조물의 안정성 및 영향성 검토를 필수로 수행하고 있지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 공사에 따른 침하 및 궤도틀림이 지속적으로 보고되고 있다. 굴착공사로 인한 지하수위, 지반의 응력 상태 변화 등은 인접 굴착 공사에 따른 구조물의 침하와 궤도틀림의 원인으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 인접 굴착 공사 시 궤도 틀림을 유발하는 인자를 변수로 고려하여 수치해석을 수행하였으며 운행 열차를 모사하기 위해 KRL-2012 표준 열차하중을 적용하였다. 분석 결과, 열차하중의 위치, 굴착지점과의 거리가 궤도틀림에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 열차 하중이 작용할 때 궤도 틀림이 크게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 지하수위의 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

The present paper investigates the propagation of Love-type wave in a composite structure comprised of imperfectly bonded piezoelectric layer with lower fiber-reinforced half-space with rectangular shaped irregularity at the common interface. Closed-form expression of phase velocity of Love-type wave propagating in the composite structure has been deduced analytically for electrically open and short conditions. Some special cases of the problem have also been studied. It has been found that the obtained results are in well-agreement to the Classical Love wave equation. Significant effects of various parameters viz. irregularity parameter, flexibility imperfectness parameter and viscoelastic imperfectness parameter associated with complex common interface, dielectric constant and piezoelectric coefficient on phase velocity of Love-type wave has been reported. Numerical computations and graphical illustrations have been carried out to demonstrate the deduced results for various cases. Moreover, comparative study has been performed to unravel the effects of the presence of reinforcement and piezoelectricity in the composite structure and also to analyze the existence of irregularity and imperfectness at the common interface of composite structure in context of the present problem which serves as a salient feature of the present study.

Track geometry consists of tangent and curved lines, which caused undesirable changes in initial track geometry by traffic loads. The bigger the changes are, the worse the riding comfort and running stability of train. This is so-called track irregularity and is the most important quality parameters of ballasted track. To be able to objectively assess track irregularity, track geometry should be able to be measured. Practically, railway companies use moving chord method, this method determine versine values via a chord. The versine is the vertical distance to curve measured in the middle of the chord. This type of method measures only versine of track irregularity curve by transfer function from specific property of measuring tool. In this report, review the characteristics of two types of measuring tools by comparing the measurements. The one is GRP-1000 system, optical surveying system with Total station and lazar prism trolly. This calculates track geometry by surveying absolute coordinates of two points each on both rail heads. The other is Trackmaster, measures versine with 2m of chord length.

The Periodic replacements criterion of rail is calculated on the basis of the research result of RTRI in Japan. It is suggested that the service life of the continuous welded rail(CWR) is estimated by the relationship between the rail surface irregularity according to the accumulated passing tonnage and bending fatigue of welded part in CWR. In order to establish the periodic replacements criterion of CWR, this study measured the rail surface irregularity according to the accumulated passing tonnage, the types of track system and welding. Therefore, it is analyzed that the gas pressure welding is the worst one of the others. In addition, it is analyzed that the rail surface irregularity growth rate in ballast track is about $0.02{\sim}0.03mm$/100MGT and its in concrete track is about $0.005{\sim}0.02mm$/100MGT Finally, the result of this study is able to use the basis data to establishing the periodic replacements criterion of CWR considering rail grinding.

Irregular distribution of mass in elevation is regarded as a structural irregularity by which the modes with high energy levels are excited and in addition, it can lead the structure to withstanding concentration of nonlinear deformations and consequently, suffer from unpredictable local or global damages. Accordingly, with respect to the lack of knowledge and insight towards the performance of concrete buildings making use of tunnel-form structural system in seismic events, it is of utmost significance to assess seismic vulnerability of such structures involved in vertical mass irregularity. To resolve such a crucial drawback, this papers aims to seismically assess vulnerability of RC tunnel-form buildings considering effects of irregular mass distribution. The results indicate that modal responses are not affected by building's height and patterns of mass distribution in elevation. Moreover, there was no considerable effect observed on the performance levels under DBE and MCE hazard scenarios within different patterns of irregular mass distribution. In conclusion, it appears that necessarily of vertical regularity for tunnel-form buildings, is somehow drastic and conservative at least for the buildings and irregularity patterns studied herein.

Dynamic irregularity and acceleration of bridges subjected to high-speed trains provide crucial information for comprehensive evaluation of the health state of under-track structures. This paper proposes a novel approach for real-time estimation of vertical track dynamic irregularity and bridge acceleration using deep generative adversarial network (GAN) and vibration data from in-service train. The vehicle-body and bogie acceleration responses are correlated with the two target variables by modeling train-bridge interaction (TBI) through least squares generative adversarial network (LSGAN). To realize supervised learning required in the present task, the conventional LSGAN is modified by implementing new loss function and linear activation function. The proposed approach can offer pointwise and accurate estimates of track dynamic irregularity and bridge acceleration, allowing frequent inspection of high-speed railway (HSR) bridges in an economical way. Thanks to its applicability in scenarios of high noise level and critical resonance condition, the proposed approach has a promising prospect in engineering applications.

Suppose G is a simple graph. The irregularity of G, irr(G), is the summation of imb(e) over all edges $uv=e{\in}G$, where imb(e) = |deg(u)-deg(v)|. In this paper, we investigate the behavior of this graph parameter under some old and new graph operations.
