Seismic analyses of a pile under a large rigid basement foundation embedded in the homogeneous soil layer were performed practically by a response displacement method assuming a sinusoidal wave form. However, it is hard to take into account the characteristics of a large mat foundation and a heterogeneous soil layer with the response displacement method. The response displacement method is relevant to the 2D problems for longitudinal structures such as tunnel, underground cave structure, etc., but might not be relevant with isolated foundations for building structures. In this study, seismic pile analysis by a pseudo 3D finite element method was carried out to compare numerical results with results of the response displacement method considering 3D characteristics of a foundation-soil system which is important for the building foundation analyses. Study results show that seismic analyses results of a response displacement method are similar to those of a pseudo 3D numerical method for stiff and dense soil layers, but they are too conservative for a soft soil layer inducing large soil pressures on the foundation wall and large pile displacements due to ignored foundation rigidity and resistance.

The foundations are classified into shallow and deep, which have important differences: in terms of geometry, the behavior of the soil, its structural functionality, and its constructive systems. The shallow foundations may be of various types according to their function; isolated footings, combined footings, strip footings, and slabs foundation. The isolated footings are of the type rectangular, square and circular. The combined footing may be rectangular, trapezoidal or T-shaped in plan. This paper presents a new model for T-shaped combined footings to obtain the most economical contact surface on the soil (optimal dimensioning) to support an axial load and moment in two directions to each column. The new model considers the soil real pressure, i.e., the pressure varies linearly. The classical model uses the technique of test and error, i.e., a dimension is proposed, and subsequently, the equation of the biaxial bending is used to obtain the stresses acting on each vertex of the T-shaped combined footing, which must meet the conditions following: The minimum stress should be equal or greater than zero, and maximum stress must be equal or less than the allowable capacity that can withstand the soil. To illustrate the validity of the new model, numerical examples are presented to obtain the minimum area of the contact surface on the soil for T-shaped combined footings subjected to an axial load and moments in two directions applied to each column.

The seismic sequence which hit the Northern Italian territory in 2012 produced extensive damage to reinforced concrete (RC) precast buildings typically adopted as industrial facilities. The considered damaged buildings are constituted by one-storey precast structures with RC columns connected to the ground by means of isolated socket foundations. The roof structural layout is composed of pre-stressed RC beams supporting pre-stressed RC floor elements, both designed as simply supported beams. The observed damage pattern, already highlighted in previous earthquakes, is mainly related to insufficient connection strength and ductility or to the absence of mechanical devices, being the connections designed neglecting seismic loads or neglecting displacement and rotation compatibility between adjacent elements. Following the vulnerabilities emerged in past seismic events, the paper investigates the seismic performance of industrial facilities typical of the Italian territory. The European building code seismic assessment methodologies are presented and discussed, as well as the retrofit interventions required to achieve an appropriate level of seismic capacity. The assessment procedure and retrofit solutions are applied to a selected case study.

The current study compares the effect of structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) on the dynamic responses of adjacent buildings and isolated structures including soil-structure interaction (SSI) with the responses of fixed-base structures. Structural responses such as the relative acceleration, displacement, drift and shear force were considered under earthquake ground motion excitation. For this purpose, 5-, 10- and 15-story structures with 2-bay moment resisting frames resting on shallow foundations were modeled as a group of buildings in soft soil media. Viscous lateral boundaries and interface elements were applied to the soil model to simulate semi-infinite soil media, frictional contact and probable slip under seismic excitation. The direct method was employed for fully nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis in OpenSees using 3D finite element soil-structure models with different building positions. The results showed that the responses of the grouped structures were strongly influenced by the adjacent structures. The responses were as much as 4 times greater for drift and 2.3 times greater for shear force than the responses of fixed-base models.

In general, the numerous classical approaches available in the literature can anticipate the settlement of shallow foundations. As long as the footings are not in close proximity to other subsurface buildings, the findings achieved using these methods are legitimate and acceptable. However, due to increased urbanisation and land scarcity, footings are frequently built close together. As a result, these footings' settlement behaviour differs from those of isolated footings. A simpler approach for assessing the settlement behaviour of two square or rectangular footings placed in close proximity is presented in this work. A Parametric study has been carried out to examine the interference effect on the settlement of these footings placed in close vicinity on the surface of a homogeneous, isotropic and elastic soil medium. The interaction factors are examined by varying the different aspect ratios (L/B), clear spacing ratio (S/B) and intensity of loading on the right footing with respect to the left footing. Further, variation of the settlement ratio (δ/B) with respect to embedment depth ratio D_f/B is examined. For square and rectangular footings, the interference settlement profile is also investigated by varying the clear spacing ratio (S/B) and the degree of loading. The results were compared to 3D finite element analysis and experimental data that were available.

The efficiency of wind turbines (WT) is primarily reflected in their ability to generate electricity at any time. Downtimes of WTs due to "conventional" inspections are cost-intensive and undesirable for investors. For this reason, there is a need for structural health monitoring (SHM) systems, to enable service and maintenance on demand and to increase the inspection intervals. In general, monitoring increases the cost effectiveness of WTs. This publication concentrates on the application of two vibration-based SHM algorithms for stability and structural change monitoring of offshore WTs. Only data driven, output-only algorithms based on stochastic subspace identification (SSI) in time domain are considered. The centerpiece of this paper deals with the rough mathematical description of the dynamic behavior of offshore WTs and with the basic presentation of stochastic subspace-based algorithms and their application to these structures. Due to the early stage of the industrial application of SHM on offshore WT on the one side and the required confidentiality to the plant manufacturer and operator on the other side, up to now it is not possible to analyze different isolated structural damages resp. changes in a systematic manner, directly by means of in-situ measurement and to make these "acknowledgements" publicly available. For this reason, the sensitivity of the methods for monitoring purposes are demonstrated through their application on long time measurements from a 1:10 large scale test rig of an offshore WT under different conditions: undamaged, different levels of loosened bolt connections between tower parts, different levels of fouling, scouring and structure inclination. The limitation and further requirements for the approaches and their applicability on real foundations are discussed along the paper.

오늘날 전 세계 학문에 절대적인 영향을 미치고 있는 서구 학문의 기초는 그리스와 로마 문명임은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 그 결과 이집트와 페르시아를 포함하는 아랍세계의 훌륭한 업적과, 인도대륙의 심오한 사상, 그리고 중국을 포함하는 동아시아의 탁월한 업적이 등한시되거나 도외시되어 왔다. 인구에 관한 사상과 이론도 예외는 아니다. 본 연구는 우리가 간과(看過)한 과거 인구사상 중 동아시아 부분을 중국학자들을 중심으로 고대, 중세, 근세 등 시기로 나누어 유럽학자들과의 비교를 통해 재조명해 보았다. 중국을 위시한 동아시아에서는 고대로부터 과잉 및 과소 인구에 대한 우려가 자주 거론되었다. 춘추시대 인구에 대한 주요 관심은 인구와 자원과의 균형관계였으며 인구가 국부의 원천임은 대체로 인정하고 있었으나 과소인구에 대한 대책뿐만 아니라 과잉인구에 대한 단점도 심각하게 거론되고 있어 적정인구와 근대 맬서스주의의 기초는 이미 고대 춘추전국시대에 마련됐다고 볼 수 있다. 서양고대 그리스와 로마시기의 인구 사상의 발전은 플라톤과 아리스토텔레스의 적정인구론과 로마시기 팽창주의적 인구증가 장려책으로 대표된다. 천년이란 장기간의 중세 시기 유럽의 발전은 정체되어있었으며, 동아시아의 발전 역시 부진했으나 아랍세계의 발전은 주목할만한 것으로 알려져 있다. 근세에 들어와 유럽 특히 서구에서는 눈부신 학문적 발전을 이룩한데 비해 동아시아의 발전은 매우 저조한 것이었다. 그러나 맬서스가 그의 인구이론을 발표하기 수년전 중국의 홍량길은 불완전하나마 인구의 기하급수적 증가율의 문제를 논하고 인구증가에 대한 규제로서 맬서스의 적극적 규제 및 궁극적 규제에 해당하는 천지조제법과, 소극적 규제 및 즉각적 규제에 해당되는 군상조제법을 들고 있다. 특히 그가 상대적 과잉인구에 대해 논의를 전개하고 있음이 주목된다. 마지막으로 고대 탁월한 동아시아의 학자들과 근세 맬서스 직전 홍량길과 같은 학자도 있었으나 동아시아에서의 학문발전은 근세 이후 서양에 비해 비교될 수 없을 정도로 부진하게 된 이유를 학문내적 요인과 학문외적 요인으로 나누어 검토했다.

우리나라 촌락지리학의 전문적 연구는 1960년대 중반부터 이루어졌다고 할 수 있 다. 그러나 초창기의 촌락연구는 주제에 대한 개념정리나 이론의 정립, 문제의식의 파악과 같은 학문적 바탕위에서 이루어진 것이 아니라 그 대상을 즉물적.선호적으로 선정하고 실 지답사를 통해 교과서적 항목에 따라 촌락의 입지, 형성과정, 경관형태 등을 나열적으로 다 루는 것이 일반적인 경향이었다. 그러나 국내 지리학계의 촌락연구는 70년대를 지나 80년대 로 접어든 이후부터 괄목할 만한 연구업적을 쌓아 오고 있다. 현재까지 이룩된 연구업적의 약 80%이상이 80년대 후반 이후에 이루어진 것이며 그 내용과 추구하는 방법도 다양해지고 있다. 이들을 주제별로 볼때 농촌경관에 대한 학리적 연구, 공간구조의 파악, 동족촌의 형성 과 그들의 사회화 과정에 의한 지역적 전계, 그리고 농촌인구의 도시지향이동이 촌락의 변 형에 미친 영향 및 그에 대한 대책등 농촌문제.농촌계발 등에 이르기까지 보다 실용적이고 체계적인 연구가 이루어지고 있는 것이다. 이러한 흐름은 이미 서구사회가 경험하였듯이 공 업화.도시화 물결에 가리워져 촌락은 그 존재기반조차 존속하기 어려웠던 그간의 상황에 대한 반작용에서는 당연한 문제의식이라고도 해석할 수 있다. 대한지리학회 창립의 역사가 반세기의 역사라고는 하지만, 촌락지리분야의 전문적 학술활동은 불과 30년의 역사에 지나 지 않는 실정속에서도 후술하는 바와 같이 이 분야에서 5개의 $\ulcorner$ 학맥$\lrcorner$이 형성되어 있다는 것은 최근 우리나라 경제발전 못지 않는 학문상의 성과라고 간주할 수 있다. 본 고에서는 그 동안의 연구내용을 \circled1 농촌및 그와 관련한 연구, \circled2 어촌및 그와 관련한 연구, \circled3 산촌및 그와 관련한 연구, \circled4 특수기능촌락으로 나누어서 그 동안의 연구성과와 동향에 대하여 회 고해 보고 앞으로의 전망에 대하여 조망해 보고자 한다.

In order that nursing care an essential quality of nursing practice be acceptable and satisfying, it is necessary that client's culture be respected and that nursing practice be appropriate to that culture. Since cultural elements are an important influence on health practices and life patterns related to medical treatment, recovery from and prevention of disease, nurses need to have an understanding and knowledge of social and cultural phenomena to aid in the planning of nursing interventions. To understand the health practices surrounding health and illness, the health beliefs and practices of both folk and professional healing systems should be ascertained. Cultural data are required to provide care of high quality to clients and to reduce possible conflict between the client and the nurse. It is nursing's goal to provide clients from various cultures with quality nursing care which is satisfying and valuable. The problem addressed by this study was to identify Korean health practices which would contribute to the planning of professional caring practice with the culture : ultimately this study was intended to make a contribution to the development of the science of nursing. The concrete objectives of this study were ; 1) to identify Korean health practices, 2) to interpret the identitial health practices through traditional cultural thought, and 3) to compare the Korean health practices with those of other cultures. The investigator used the ethnosceintific approach outlined by spradly in a qualitative study. To discover ancestral wisdom and knowledge related to traditional health practeces, the subjects of this study were selected from residents of a small rural mountain village in south west Korea, a place considered to be maintaining and transmitting the traditional culture in a relatively well -preserved state because of being isolated from the modern world. The number of subjects was 18, aged 71 to 89. Research data were collected from January 8 to March 31, 1990. Five categories of health practices were identified : “Manage one's own mind”, “Moderation in all thing”, “Live in accord with nature”, “Live in mutuality with others”, and “Live to the best of one's ability”. Values derived from these ways of thinking from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism help fashion a traditional way of life, examplified by the saying “Benifience to all”. Korean thought and philosophy is influenced primerily by Confucianism, Confucian principles of ethics, embedded deeply in the peoples' minds, form the idea that “heaven and human being are intimately united” based on concept that “heaven is, so to speak, reason”. Twoe Gae's theory of existential subjectivity develops the concept of self which is the basis of the spirit of reverence in modern Confucian philosophy. The human md is granted from heaven out of the idea of matter, and what control the mind is the spirit of reverence. Hence the idea of “The primacy of the mind" and provided that one should control one's own mind. The precepts of duty to parents, respect for elders and worship of ancestors, and moderation in all behavior put a restraint on life which directed that one live earnestly according to Nature's laws with their neighbors. Not only Confucianism, but also Buddism and Taoism have had an important effect upon these patterns of ideas. When compared with western culture, Korean health practices tend to be more inclusive, abstract and intuitive while westerner health practices found to be mere concrete, practical and personal. Values and beliefs based and pragmatism and existentialism infuence western civilization, Ethical values may be founded on utilitarianism, which considers what is good for the persons in their circumstances as the basis of conduct and takes a serious view of their practical lives including human aspirations rather than an absolute truth. These philosophical and ethical ideas are foundations for health practices related to active, practical and progressive attitudes. This study should be enable nursing not only to understand clients as reflections of the traditional culture when planning nursing practice, but to dovelop health education corresponding to cultural requiments for the purpose of protection against disease and improvement of health, and thus promote sound health practice. Eventually it is hoped that through these processes quality nursing care as the central idea of the science of nursing will be achieved.
