Mobile harbor which is a novel concept of ocean transportation to bring the containers from the cargo ship waiting on the ocean away is being focused now. To provide the mobile harbor with the stable loading/unloading condition, it is necessary to develop the oscillation mitigation technologies such as anti-rolling system. Anti-rolling system using AMD(Active Mass Driving) has merits that it can handle the disturbances more actively and mitigate the rolling oscillation faster than other type anti-rolling system. However, rack-and-pinion type AMD has problems such as big friction noise from gears and motor, wear and tear, and continuous maintenance. In this paper, novel anti-rolling system using Maglev type AMD for mobile harbor is suggested in order to resolve the problems caused by the friction. This novel anti-rolling system doesn't make any friction because it supports the moving mass by using magnetic levitation force and moves it by using propulsion force from the linear motor. The demo system of the novel anti-rolling system using maglev type AMD has been developed in order to investigate its feasibility. This paper presents the procedures and results of development of this demo system.

심층혼합처리(deep cement mixing, DCM)공법은 두꺼운 연약지반을 개량하는 공법 중 하나이다. 이 공법은 저소음, 저진동으로 공해가 적고 단시간에 큰 강도를 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. DCM공법과 같이 연약지반 개량 후 복합지반이 형성되는 지반의 침하량 산정을 위해서는 응력분담비의 결정이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 DCM공법으로 개량된 복합지반 거동특성을 이해하기 위하여 모형재하시험을 실시하였다. 모형시험에서 측정한 토압과 침하량, 그리고 기존 제안도표를 이용하여 응력분담비를 산정하였는데 응력분담비는 각각 35.4, 28.6, 27.02로 DCM 개량체에 큰 응력집중이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 기존 연구결과에 의한 응력분담비(26.52, 32.5)와 비교할 때 유사한 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, U-section decks have been more and more used in metro and light rail bridges as an innovative concept in bridge deck design and a successful alternative to conventional box girders because of their potential advantages. U-section may be viewed as a single vent box girder eliminating the top slab connecting the webs, with the moving vehicles travelling on the lower deck. U-section bridges thus solve many problems like limited vertical clearance underneath the bridge lowest point, besides providing built-in noise barriers. Beam theory in mechanics assumes that plane section remains plane after bending, but it was found that shearing forces produce shear deformations and the plane section does not remain plane. This phenomenon leads to distortion of the cross section. For a box or a U section, this distortion makes the central part of the slab lagging behind those parts closer to the webs and this is known as shear lag effect. A sample real-world double-track U-section metro bridge is modelled in this paper using a commercial finite element analysis program and is analysed under various loading conditions and for different geometric variations. The three-dimensional finite element analysis is used to demonstrate variations in the transverse bending moments in the deck as well as variations in the longitudinal normal stresses induced in the cross section along the U-girder's span thus capturing warping and shear lag effects which are then compared to the stresses calculated using conventional beam theory. This comparison is performed not only to locate the distortion, warping and shear lag effects typically induced in U-section bridges but also to assess the main parameters influencing them the most.

Modal identification based on ambient vibration data has attracted extensive attention in the past few decades. Since the excitation for ambient vibration tests is mainly from the environmental effects such as wind and traffic loading and no artificial excitation is applied, the signal to noise (s/n) ratio of the data acquired plays an important role in mode identifiability. Under ambient vibration conditions, certain modes may not be identifiable due to a low s/n ratio. This paper presents a study on the mode identifiability of an instrumented cable-stayed bridge with the use of acceleration response data measured by a long-term structural health monitoring system. A recently developed fast Bayesian FFT method is utilized to perform output-only modal identification. In addition to identifying the most probable values (MPVs) of modal parameters, the associated posterior uncertainties can be obtained by this method. Likewise, the power spectral density of modal force can be identified, and thus it is possible to obtain the modal s/n ratio. This provides an efficient way to investigate the mode identifiability. Three groups of data are utilized in this study: the first one is 10 data sets including six collected under normal wind conditions and four collected during typhoons; the second one is three data sets with wind speeds of about 7.5 m/s; and the third one is some blind data. The first two groups of data are used to perform ambient modal identification and help to estimate a critical value of the s/n ratio above which the deficient mode is identifiable, while the third group of data is used to perform verification. A couple of fundamental modes are identified, including the ones in the vertical and transverse directions respectively and coupled in both directions. The uncertainty and s/n ratio of the deficient mode are investigated and discussed. A critical value of the modal s/n ratio is suggested to evaluate the mode identifiability of the deficient mode. The work presented in this paper could provide a base for the vibration-based condition assessment in future.

Generally, container ships contain cargo holds with cell guides that serve to increase the container loading and unloading efficiency, minimize the space loss, and fix containers during the voyage. This paper describes a new quality management system for the cell guides of container ships (the so-called Trim Cell Guide system). The main functions of this system are the trimming of the point cloud obtained using a 3D scanner and an inspection simulation for cell guide quality. In other words, the raw point cloud of cell guides after construction is measured using a 3D scanner. Here, the raw point cloud contains a lot of noise and unnecessary information. Using the GUI interface supported by the system, the raw point cloud can be trimmed. The trimmed point cloud is used in a simulation for cell guide quality inspection. The RANSAC (Random Sample Consensus) algorithm is used for the transverse section representation of a cell guide at a certain height and applied for the calculation of the intervals between the cell guides and container. When the container hits the cell guides during the inspection simulation, the container is rotated horizontally and checked again for a possible collision. It focuses on a system that can be simulated with the same inspection process as in a shipyard. For a practicality review, we compared the precision data gained from an inspection simulation with the measured data. As a result, it was confirmed that these values were within approximately ${\pm}2mm$.

Special track systems used to divert a train to other directions or other tracks are generally called 'railway turnout'. A traditional turnout system consists of steel rails, switches, crossings, steel plates, fasteners, screw spikes, timber bearers, ballast and formation. The wheel rail contact over the crossing transfer zone has a dip-like shape and can often cause detrimental impact loads on the railway track and its components. The large impact also emits disturbing noises (either impact or ground-borne noise) to railway neighbors. In a brown-field railway track where an existing aged infrastructure requires renewal or maintenance, some physical constraints and construction complexities may dominate the choice of track forms or certain components. With the difficulty to seek for high-quality timbers with dimensional stability, a methodology to replace aged timber bearers in harsh dynamic environments is to adopt an alternative material that could mimic responses and characteristics of timber in both static and dynamic loading conditions. A critical review has suggested an application of an alternative material called fibre-reinforced foamed urethane (FFU). The full-scale capacity design makes use of its comparable engineering characteristics to timber, high-impact attenuation, high damping property, and a longer service life. A field trial to investigate in-situ behaviours of a turnout grillage system using an alternative material, 'fibre-reinforced foamed urethane (FFU)' bearers, has been carried out at a complex turnout junction under heavy mixed traffics at Hornsby, New South Wales, Australia. The turnout junction was renewed using the FFU bearers altogether with new special track components. Influences of the FFU bearers on track geometry (recorded by track inspection vehicle 'AK Car'), track settlement (based on survey data), track dynamics, and acoustic characteristics have been measured. Operational train pass-by measurements have been analysed to evaluate the effectiveness of the replacement methodology. Comparative studies show that the use of FFU bearers generates higher rail and sleeper accelerations but the damping capacity of the FFU help suppress vibration transferring onto other track components. The survey data analysis suggests a small vertical settlement and negligible lateral movement of the turnout system. The static and dynamic behaviours of FFU bearers appear to equate that of natural timber but its service life is superior.

본 논문에서는 정적 처짐데이터를 이용한 교량의 강성추정에 관한 기법을 개발하였다. 제안된 기법은 주기적으로 교량의 자중에 의한 처짐을 계측하여 이들 처짐값의 변화량을 이용하여 손상의 진행정도를 규명하는 기법으로써 재하시험이 필요하지 않으며, 최근 활발히 진행되고 있는 계측모니터링 시스템으로부터 획득된 계측데이터를 정량적으로 분석하는 기법으로 활용이 가능하리라 판단된다. 손상평가를 위한 정식화과정에서 부재의 손상은 강성의 저감으로 표현하였으며, 부재의 질량과 초기강성은 실측 또는 도면을 통하여 획득이 가능하다고 가정하였다. 제안된 기법의 타당성 검증을 위하여 수치모형을 통한 손상도 추정결과를 제시하였으며, 기존의 손상도 추정기법 중 비교적 손상에 대한 민감도가 높은 모드형상을 이용한 기법과 손상도 추정결과를 비교하였다. 또한, 손상추정결과를 정확도를 감소시키는 노이즈의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 정적응답자료에 백색잡음을 추가하여 손상도를 추정하였으며, 손상부재의 수가 손상추정 결과에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다.

기존의 매입말뚝공법이 갖고 있는 문제들, 즉 지지력의 약화와 소음 진동의 발생을 해결하기 위하여 나선돌기형 매입말뚝공법과 선단확대형 매입말뚝공법을 개발하였다. 이들 공법의 시공성과 지지력 증대효과를 알아보기 위하여 현장시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 극한지지력은 말뚝에 성형된 돌기에 의한 주면마찰력의 증가로 인하여 침설방식보다 약 44%증가하였으며, 주면마찰력은 돌기의 형상과 돌기간의 간격에 의하여 영향을 받는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그리고 전체지지력에서 주면마찰력이 차지하는 비율은 침설방식의 경우가 74~80%이고 나선돌기 형과 선단확대형의 경우가 81~86% 매입말뚝의 지지력에서 선단지지력이 차지하는 비율은 매우 작았다. 또한 동일 하중에 대한 침하량을 비교한 결과 침설방식보다는 나선돌기형과 선단확대형 매입말뚝의 침하량이 작게 측정되었다.
