In densely built areas, the development of underground transportation systems often involves twin excavations, which are sometimes unavoidably constructed adjacent to existing piled foundations. Because soil stiffness degrades with induced stress release and shear strain during excavation, it is vital to investigate the piled raft responses to subsequent excavation after the first tunnel in a twin-excavation system. The effects of deep excavations on existing piled foundations have been extensively investigated, but the influence of twin excavations on a piled raft is seldom reported in the literature. In this study, three-dimensional numerical analyses were carried out to investigate the influence of sand density on an existing piled raft (with a working load on top of the raft) due to twin excavations. A wide range of relative density (D_r) from loosest (30%), loose to medium (50% and 70%), and densest (90%) were selected to investigate the effects on settlement and load transfer mechanism of the piled raft during twin excavations. An advanced hypoplastic sand model (which can capture small-strain stiffness and stress-state dependent dilatancy of sand) was adopted. The model parameters are calibrated against centrifuge test results in sand reported in the literature. From the computed results, it is found that twin excavations in loose sand (D_r=30%) caused the most significant settlement. This is because of the higher stiffness of denser sand (D_r=90%) than that of loose sand. In contrast, a much larger tilting (maximum magnitude=0.18%) was computed in dense sand than in loose sand after the completion of the first excavation. As far as the load transfer mechanism along the piles is concerned, an upward load transfer to mobilize shaft resistance is observed in loose sand. On the contrary, a downward load transfer is observed in dense sand.

power transfer breaker is a device used to transfer the load from the electricity power line to the emergency generators. In case of overload, it also functions as a circuit breaker. In this work, a new mechanism for the device is suggested. Among the various design challenges, optimization of the trigger mechanism is identified as of central importance. Optimal design decisions are made with the use of Taguchi method.

The load transfer mechanism and load-bearing capacity of cast steel joints for H-shaped beam to square tube column connection are studied based on the deformation compatibility theory. Then the monotonic tensile experiments are conducted for 12 specimens about the cast steel joints for H-shaped beam to square tube column connection. The findings are that the tensile bearing capacity of the cast steel joints for beam-column connection depends on the ring of cast steel stiffener. The tensile fracture happens at the ring of the cast steel stiffener when the joint fails. The thickness of square tube column has little influence on the bearing capacity of the joint. The square tube column buckles while the joint without concrete filled, but the strength failure happens for the joint with concrete filled column. And the length of welding connection between square tube column and cast steel stiffener has little influence on the load-bearing capacity of the cast steel joint. Finally it is shown that the load-bearing capacity of the joints for H-shaped beam to concrete filled square tube column connection is larger than that of the joints for H-shaped beam to square tube column connection by 10% to 15%.

성토지지말뚝시스템을 적용하여 연약지반 상에 성토를 설계 시공하고자 할 경우 말뚝지지 성토지반 내에 지반아칭이 발달할 수 있도록 한계성토고를 설계하는 방법이 마련되었다. 먼저 말뚝캡보의 간격이 비교적 넓은 경우를 대상으로 일련의 모형실험을 실시하여 성토단계에 따른 성토하중의 하중전이거동을 조사하고 성토지반 속에 지반아칭이 충분히 발달되기 시작할 때의 성토고를 실험적으로 관찰하였다. 모형실험결과, 하중전이거동은 말뚝지지성토지반 내에 지반아칭이 발달될 수 있느냐 여부를 결정지을 수 있는 성토고에 영향을 많이 받음을 알 수 있었다. 저성토단계에서는 성토지반 속에 지반아칭이 아직 발달되지 못한 관계로 펀칭전단파괴모드에 의하여 성토하중이 말뚝캡보에 하중전이가 진행되었고 고성토단계에서는 지반아칭이 발달하여 지반아칭파괴모드에 의하여 하중전이가 진행되었다. 이들 저성토단계와 고성토단계에서 측정된 연직하중의 실험치는 각각의 파괴모드에 의한 하중전이 메커니즘에 근거하여 이전 연구에서 유도 제시된 이론식들로 산정된 예측치와 좋은 일치를 보였다. 또한 모형실험결과 저성토단계의 펀칭전단파괴모드에 의한 하중전이 메커니즘에서 고성토단계의 지반아칭파괴모드에 의한 하중전이 메커니즘으로 변화하는 시점의 한계성토고가 존재함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 성토지반 속에 지반아칭을 충분히 발달시키려면 성토를 이 한계성토고 보다 높게 설계 시공하여야 함을 알았다. 또한 펀칭전단과 지반아칭에 의한 하중전이 메커니즘에 의거 유도 제안되었던 전이하중 산정 이론식을 같게 놓음으로서 한계성토고를 산정할 수 있는 이론식을 유도할 수 있었고 이 이론식으로 한계성토고의 실험치를 잘 예측할 수 있었다.

Load redistribution is a critical resource in computer system. In sender-initiated load redistribution algorithms, the sender continues to send unnecessary request messages for load transfer until a receiver is found while the system load is heavy. These unnecessary request messages result in inefficient communications, low CPU utilization, and low system throughput in distributed systems. To solve these problems, we propose a genetic algorithm based approach for improved sender-initiated load redistribution in distributed systems. Compared with the conventional sender-initiated algorithms, the proposed algorithm decreases the response time and task processing time.

The urbanization and increasing rate of population demands effective means of transportation system (basement and tunnels) as well as high-rise building (resting on piled foundation) for accommodation. Therefore, it unavoidable to construct basements (i.e., excavation) nearby piled foundation. Since the basement excavation inevitably induces soil movement and stress changes in the ground, it may cause differential settlements to nearby piled raft foundation. To understand settlement and load transfer mechanism in the piled raft due to excavation-induced stress release, numerical parametric studies are carried out in this study. The effects of excavation depths (i.e., formation level) relative to piled raft were investigated by simulating the excavation near the pile shaft (i.e., H_e/L_p=0.67), next to (H_e/L_p=1.00) and below the pile toe (H_e/L_p=1.33). In addition, effects of sand density and raft fixity condition were investigated. The computed results have revealed that the induced settlement, tilting, pile lateral movement and load transfer mechanism in the piled raft depends upon the embedded depth of the diaphragm wall. Additional settlement of the piled raft due to excavation can be account for apparent loss of load carrying capacity of the piled raft (ALPC). The highest apparent loss of piled raft capacity ALPC (on the account of induced piled raft settlement) of 50% was calculated in in case of H_e/L_p = 1.33. Furthermore, the induced settlement decreased with increasing the relative density from 30% to 90%. On the contrary, the tilting of the raft increases in denser ground. The larger bending moment and lateral force was induced at the piled heads in fixed and pinned raft condition.

FBG Sensor, which is smaller than strain gauge and has better durability and does not have a noise from electromagnetic waves, was adapted to develope a smart anchor. A series of pullout tests were performed to verify the feasibility of smart anchor and find out the load transfer mechanism around the steel wire fixed to rock with grout. Distribution of shear stresses at steel wire-grout interface is assessed from the measured strain distribution by the optical fiber sensors and compared with stress distributions predicted by Farmer's and Aydan's formulas. It was found that present theoretical formulas may underestimate the failure depth and magnitude of shear stresses when the pullout loads increase.

Reinforced concrete deep beams have useful applications in tall buildings and foundations. Over the past two decades, numerous design models for deep beams were suggested. However even the latest design manuals still offer little insight into the design of deep beams in particular when complexities exist in the beams like web openings. A method commonly suggested for the design of deep beams with openings is the strut-and-tie model which is primarily used to represent the actual load transfer mechanism in a structural concrete member under ultimate load. In the present study, the development of the strut-and-tie model is transformed to the topology optimization problem of continuum structures. During the optimization process, both the stress and displacement constraints are satisfied and the performance of progressive topologies is evaluated. The influences on the strut-and-tie model in relation to different size, location and number of openings, as well as different loading and support conditions in deep beams are examined in some detail. In all, eleven deep beams with web openings are optimized and compared in nine groups. The optimal strut-and-tie models achieved are also compared with published experimental crack patterns. Numerical results have shown to confirm the experimental observations and to efficiently represent the load transfer mechanism in concrete deep beams with openings under ultimate load.
