본 연구는 지반변형을 일으키는 경사모래지반에 매설된 사각형 수동열말뚝의 모형실험에 대한 것이다. 실험은 지반의 경사각을 조절하여 지반파괴를 유도 하였고, 말뚝의 형상, 위치, 간격을 달리하여 말뚝 거동을 측정하였다. 그 결과 수동말뚝에 작용하는 토압과 수평저항력 그리고 지반변형억제 효과를 확인하였다. 전면 폭이 넓은 B-type 말뚝이 측면 폭이 넓은 H-type 말뚝보다 지반변형억제 효과가 크게 나타났다. 사면경사에 따른 수평저항력 그래프를 이용하여 사면의 파괴각, 말뚝과 지반의 분담력을 알 수 있다.

Infill masonry walls are vulnerable to lateral loads, including seismic, wind, and concentrated push loads. Various strengthening metal fittings have been proposed to improve lateral load resistance, particularly against seismic loads. This study introduces the use of post-compressed wedges as a novel reinforcement method for infill masonry walls to enhance lateral load resistance. The resistance of the infill masonry wall against lateral-concentrated push loads was assessed using an out-of-plane push-over test on specimens sized 2,300×2,410×190 mm³. The presence or absence of wedges and wedge spacing were set as variables. The push-over test results showed that both the unreinforced specimen and the specimen reinforced with 300 mm spaced wedges toppled, while the specimen reinforced with 100 mm spaced wedges remained upright. Peak loads were measured to be 0.74, 29.77, and 5.88 kN for unreinforced specimens and specimens reinforced with 100 mm and 300 mm spaced wedges, respectively. Notably, a tighter reinforcement spacing yielded a similar strength, as expected, which was attributed to the increased friction force between the masonry wall and steel frame. The W-series specimens exhibited a trend comparable to that of the displacement ductility ratio. Overall, the findings validate that post-compressed wedges improve the out-of-plane strength of infill masonry walls.

Static torsional provisions employing equivalent lateral force method (ELF) require that the earthquake-induced lateral force at each story be applied at a distance equal to design eccentricity ($e_d$) from a reference resistance centre of the corresponding story. Such code torsional provisions, albeit not explicitly stated, are generally believed to be applicable to the regularly asymmetric buildings. Examined herein is the applicability of such code-torsional provisions to buildings with set-back using rigid as well as flexible diaphragm model. Response of a number of set-back systems computed through ELF with static torsional provisions is compared to that by response spectrum based procedure. Influence of infill wall with a range of opening is also investigated. Results of comprehensive parametric studies suggest that the ELF may, with rational engineering judgment, be used for practical purposes taking some care of the surroundings of the setback for stiff systems in particular.

이 연구는 고령자를 대상으로 탄성저항운동을 수행하였을 경우 운동 전 후로 보행 시 지면반력 신호 크기와 이들의 variability에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 구명하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 여성 고령자 12명을 대상으로 12주간 탄성저항운동을 실시하였으며, 운동 전 후로 보행 시 3방향 지면반력 신호의 주파수 크기와 variability 값을 산출하였다. FFT(fast Fourier transform)를 이용하여 주파수 분석을 하였으며, PSD(power spectral density)를 계산하였다. 총 대상자들의 변이 계수(SD/Mean*100)을 이용하여 집단 간 variability를 계산하였다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 지면반력 신호의 주파수 크기는 좌우 방향에서 운동 전보다 운동 후에 작은 값을 보였으며, 통계적으로도 유의한 차이(p<.05)가 나타났다. 지면반력 신호의 variability에서는 좌우 방향에서 운동 전보다 운동 후에 큰 값이 나타났으며, 통계적으로도 유의한 차이(p<.05)가 나타났다.

One of the prevailing structural systems in high-rise buildings is the core-wall system. On the other hand, the existence of one or more underground stories causes the perimeter below-grade walls with the diaphragm of grade level to constitute of a very stiff box. In this case or a similar situation, during the lateral response of a tall building, underground perimeter walls and diaphragms that provide an increased lateral resistance relative to the core wall may introduce a prying action in the core that is called backstay effect. In this case, a rather great force is generated at the diaphragm of the grade-level, acting in a reverse direction to the lateral force on the core-wall system, and thus typically causes a reverse internal shear. In this research, in addition to review of the results of the preceding studies, an improved relationship is proposed for prediction of backstay force. The new proposed relationship takes into account the effect of foundation flexibility and is presented in a non-dimensional form. Furthermore, a specific range of the backstay force to lateral load ratio has been determined. And finally, it is shown that although all suggested formulas are valid in the elastic domain, yet with some changes in the initial considerations, they can be applied to some certain non-linear problems as well.

일반적으로 구조물의 내진설계에 있어서는 등가정적해석법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 현재 사용되고 있는 등가정적해석법은 구조물의 거동이 주로 기본진동 모드에 의해 지배된다는 가정하에 유도되었으므로 기본진동 주기가 긴 구조물에 대해서는 구조물의 동적특성을 정확하게 예측하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 설계시 직접적인 영향을 미치게 되는 층전단력의 분포를 주요 관점으로하여 구조물의 동적특성에 미치는 고차모드의 영향을 정확히 고려할 수 있는 층지진하중에 대하여 연구했다. 층지진하중의 분포를 개선하기 위해 현행 내진설계 기준의 등가정적해석법에서 쓰이는 층지진하중과 모드해석을 이용하여 얻은 층지진하중의 차이를 파악하고 이로부터 고차모드의 영향이 고려된 층지진하중의 분포를 제안했다.

In railway, Tie supports rail and plays a role that distribute train load to the ballast. Also, Tie and ballast resist against external force and fix the track position. But, weakening resistance of ballast and tie cause vertical displacement of tie and track irregularity. For reinforcement of track stiffness and reduction of track irregularity, KORAIL has developed Multi Branch type tie(GLORY Tie) that reinforced resistance than general PCT and installed in order to test in the field. This study measured and analyzed lateral resistance of ballast, wheel load of rail, bending strain of rail foot, vertical displacement and vibration acceleration of tie in order to evaluate performance of Multi Branch type tie in the field. According to the results of test, Multi Branch tie is excellent than general tie about lateral resistance of ballast and vertical displacement of tie. And, gap of measurement value between Multi Branch type tie and general tie about wheel load of rail, bending strain of rail foot were very small.

Base isolation technology has been accepted as a feasible and attractive way in improving seismic resistance of structures. The seismic design of new seismically isolated structures is mainly governed by the Uniform Building Code (UBC-97) published by the International Conference of Building Officials. In the UBC code, the distribution formula of the inertial (or lateral) forces leads to an inverted triangular shape in the vertical direction. It has been found to be too conservative for most isolated structures through experimental, computational and real earthquake examinations. In this paper, four simple and reasonable design formulae, based on the first mode of the base-isolated structures, for the lateral force distribution on isolated structures have been validated by a multiple-bay three-story base-isolated steel structure tested on the shaking table. Moreover, to obtain more accurate results for base-isolated structures in which higher mode contributions are more likely expected during earthquakes, another four inertial force distribution formulae are also proposed to include higher mode effects. Besides the experimental verification through shaking table tests, the vertical distributions of peak accelerations computed by the proposed design formulae are in good agreement with the recorded floor accelerations of the USC University Hospital during the Northridge earthquake.

This study presents the minimum spring stiffness of resilient track pad considering the safety of running train. A nonlinear static 3-D finite element is used for the modeling of railway superstructure, especially for the reflection of nonlinear resistance of rail fastening system. Moreover, ballast is considered as an elastic foundation. As the input load, eccentric wheel and lateral force are used and they are derived from ' Lateral-force/Wheel-load Estimation Equations '. Analysis results are compared with following two values : allowable lateral displacement of rail head (derived from the geometrical derailment evaluation of wheel/rail) and operation standard value (derived from the field test results of track).

Recently, post tension flat plate slab system is widely used for a new slab structural system. Slab-column connections may fail in brittle manner by punching shear. Flat plate slabs have been widely used for gravity load resisting system in buildings. Lateral resistance usually provided by shear walls or moment resisting frames. Since plat plates move together with lateral loading system during earthquake or wind, it is important to evaluate the gravity resistance under a drift experienced by lateral force resisting system during either design earthquake or wind. Thus, this study investigated post tension flat plate slab systems whether they have sufficient strength and deformability to resist gravity loads during specified drift levels. Experimental research was carried out.
