To investigate the structural behaviour of grouped tanks under wind loads, 2 problems need to be figured out, wind pressures on tank shells and critical loads of the shell under these pressure distribution patterns. Following the wind tunnel tests described in the companion paper, this paper firstly seeks to obtain wind loads on the external wall in a squarely-arranged cylindrical tank group by numerical simulation, considering various layouts. The outcomes demonstrate that the numerical method can provide similar results on wind pressures and better insights on grouping effects through extracted streamlines. Then, geometrically nonlinear analyses are performed using several selected potentially unfavourable wind pressure distributions. It is found that the critical load is controlled by limit point buckling when the tank is empty while excessive deformations when the tank is full. In particular, significant reductions of wind resistance are found on grouped full tanks compared to the isolated tank, considering both serviceability and ultimate limit state, which should receive special attention if the tank is expected to resist severe wind loads with the increase of liquid level.

In this study, a novel mountain train system was developed that can run along a steep gradient of 180 ‰ and sharp curve with a minimum radius of 10 m. For this novel mountain train, an embedded precast concrete rack rail track was implemented to share the track with an automobile road and increase constructability in mountainous regions. The embedded rack rail track is connected to a hydraulically stabilized base (HSB) layer with shear anchors, which must have sufficient longitudinal resistance because they bear most of the traction forces originated from the rack rail and longitudinal loads owing to the steep gradient. In addition, the damage to the shear anchor parts, including the surrounding concrete, must be strictly limited under the service load because the maintenance of shear anchors inside the track is extremely difficult after installation. In this study, the focus was made on the shear anchor behavior and design an embedded rack rail track, considering the serviceability and ultimate limit states. Accordingly, the design loads for mountain trains were established, and the serviceability criteria of the anchor were proposed. Subsequently, the resistance and damage of the shear anchors were evaluated and analyzed based on the results of several finite element analyses. Finally, the design method of the shear anchors for the embedded rack rail track was established and verified.

Flexural behaviors of two typical architectural precast beam sections ; inverted tee and rectangular - were compared and investigated. The heights of web in inverted tee beams are generally less than half of beam depth in building structures to accomodate the nib of double-tee where the total building height limited considerably. The inverted-tee beams are designed for parking live load - 500kgf/$\m^2$ and market - 1,200kgf/$\m^2$ according to the currently used typical shape in the domestic market building site in Korea. The bottom dimension and area of rectangular beams are same to those of inverted tee beams to compare the flexural behaviors of two beams. These two beams are also reinforced for similar strength. Four flexural tests are performed on two beams. Following results are obtained from the tests; 1) The rectangular beam is simpler in production, transportation, and election, and more economic than the inverted tee beam for these two beams with same dimension and similar strength. 1) The estimations of flexural strength of two beams by Strength Design Method and Strain Compatibility Method is fully complied with the result of tests. However, Strain Compatibility Method is slightly ore accurate than Strength Design Method. 2) Overall deflections of two type beam under the service loads are less than those of the allowable limit in ACI Code provision. 3) The rectangular beam is failed in large deflection (average 12.56mm large) than those of inverted tee beams. 4) The rectangular and inverted tee beams with 6m span develop initial flexural crackings under the 88% of full service loading even though they designed to satisfy the ACI tensile stress limit provisions.

차량하중에 의해 옹벽에 전달되는 수평토압은 등가상재하중높이로 표현하며, 표준트럭의 축하중 크기와 위치에 따라 그 영향이 달라진다. 한계상태설계법은 2015년부터 국내 도로교 설계에 적용되어 왔다. 하지만 우리나라 실정을 고려한 토압하중계수(등가상재하중높이)가 제시되어 있지 않아 설계에 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 표준트럭의 축하중 크기 및 위치를 반영한 등가상재하중높이를 산정하였다. 3차원 수치해석 방법으로 등가상재하중높이를 산정하였으며, AASHTO 기준치와 차별화된 등가상재하중 높이를 제시하였다. 우리나라 표준트럭의 축하중은 미국과 달리 축하중이 집중되는 구조를 가지고 있어 옹벽의 높이가 낮은 경우 등가상재하중높이가 AASHTO에서 제안한 값보다 다소 크게 평가 되었다. 따라서 우리나라 교통하중으로부터 도출된 등가상재하중높이는 옹벽 구조물의 장기 안정성을 확보하는 측면에서 AASHTO 기준치보다 보수적으로 제시하는 것이 합리적일 것이다.

거리 측정정보를 사용하는 무선위치추정시스템에서 추정기법으로 반복기법기반 근사해를 주로 많이 사용하고 있으나 지역최소문제 및 계산량을 고려해 대안으로 선형 닫힌 형태의 해가 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 각 닫힌 형태의 해는 별도의 특성을 가진 오차요인을 갖고 있으며 이 문제로 인해 그 사용이 제한되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 두 닫힌 형태의 해를 융합하여 각 해가 갖는 오차요인을 서로 상쇄시키는 기법을 제안한다. 두 해를 융합하기 위한 가중치를 각 오차요인이 갖는 오차 특성 기반 퍼지 기법으로 결정하는 방법을 사용한다. 제안된 기법의 성능은 시뮬레이션 기반으로 검증한다.

In this study, the method to use the phase shift keying (PSK) communication technique in smart transmitter is presented. In nuclear applications. smart transmitters for various parameters are expected to improve the accuracy of measurement and to reduce the load of calibration work. The capability of communication in field level is the most important merit of the smart transmitter. The most popular method is using of digital and analog techniques simultaneously - transmitting measurements from the field at 4∼20mA while modulating the current to carry digital information in both directions over the same twisted pairs. Conventional smart transmitters use the frequency shift keying (FSK) method for digital communication. Generally, however, the FSK method has the speed limit at 1200 bps. Amount of information to transmit becomes increasing as the processing technique is improved. The PSK method is noticeable alternative for high speed digital communication, but it has non-zero DC component. In order to use the PSK method in the field transmission with smart transmitter, the method to remove the DC component is studied in this work.

Recently, probabilistic assessments of nuclear power plant components have generated interest in the nuclear industries, either for the efficient inspection and maintenance of older nuclear plants or for improving the safety and cost-effective design of newly constructed nuclear plants. In the present paper, the partial safety factor (PSF) of wall-thinned nuclear piping is evaluated based on a reliability index method, from which the effect of each statistical variable (assessment parameter) on a certain target probability is evaluated. In order to calculate the PSF of a wall-thinned pipe, a limit state function based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) concept is first constructed. As for the reliability assessment method, both the advanced first-order second moment (AFOSM) method and second-order reliability method (SORM) are employed to determine the PSF of each probabilistic variable. The present results can be used for developing maintenance strategies considering the priorities of input variables for structural integrity assessments of wall-thinned piping, and this PSF concept can also be applied to the optimal design of the components of newly constructed plants considering the target reliability levels.

최근 교량설계에서 외부 프리스트레스를 도입한 장지간 및 효율적인 단면활용 등과 같은 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 강구조물에 프리스트레스를 도입하면 큰 하중에서 탄성변형의 극한값이 증가하게 되어, 강재량을 줄일 수 있고, 비용의 측면에서 경제성이 있는 것으로 평가 되었다. 이러한 이유 때문에 우리나라에서도 최근 가설교량 시공시 프리스트레스를 도입하여 응력보정 및 처짐보정이 가능하고, 비교적 작은 단면으로 장지간 교량을 시공할 수 있어 통수단면을 충분히 할 수 있는 여러 가지 공법이 개발되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가설 강교량에 프리스트레스 도입방법 및 고강도 텐던의 배치에 따른 영향, 강판과 고강도 텐던의 복합구조에 대한 효과를 기존 가설공법과 비교하여 검증 하고자 한다.

With an increasing aging population and improved standards of living, more attention has been paid to health. Although walking exercise is known as an aerobic exercise, it imposes repeated and continuous impacts on the joints of the lower extremities. Therefore, when overweight gives a burden to the lower extremity or there is a joint disease, exercise limit occurs. The articular cartilage, weakened with age, also makes it difficult for the elderly to perform walking exercises. Accordingly, this study conducted a comparative analysis between regular walking using only the lower extremity and Nordic walking, which has been known as stable. For analysis, electromyography (EMG) was performed and the ground reaction force of the upper and lower extremities were measured in the same exercise. Integrated EMG (iEMG) revealed that the upper extremity muscles were more active in Nordic walking than in regular walking, where lower extremity muscles were relatively more inactive. In addition, when EMG measurements were performed at each measurement point during walking exercise, the pattern was different. Nevertheless, the result was the same as in iEMG. The load that occurs in each exercise was measured using the ground reaction force system. As a result, Nordic walking had a lower load than regular walking. Therefore, it was found that Nordic walking minimized the load on the lower extremities owing to the effect of whole-body exercise and was a safer and more efficient exercise method.

선박은 박판으로 이루어진 상자형구조물이기 때문에 선박이 황천항해를 하게 되면 선체의 상갑판과 선저판에는 호깅이나 새깅이 반복적으로 일어나므로 선테판에는 인장력과 압축력이 반복적으로 작용하게 된다 이 중에서도 압축력이 작용하는 경우가 선박의 종강도상에 치명적인 결과를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서, 본 본문에서는 선체판중에서 종횡비가 1.4인 판을 대상으로 하여 탄소성유한요소해석을 통하여 압축하중을 계속적으로 증가시켜 좌굴과 함께 탄소성대변형거동을 밝힘과 동시에 2차좌굴과 탄소성거동과의 메카니즘을 규명하여 압축하중을 받는 선테판의 탄소성대변형거동을 규명하였다.
