  • Understanding and analysing the behaviour and response of historical structures in the face of climate changes and environmental conditions is of utmost significance for their preservation. There are several structural hazards associated with climate and hydrology changes in the region, including the settlement of piers, the rotation of piers, and temperature changes. The present study investigates the experimental and numerical structural behaviour of skewed and non-skewed Persian brick masonry barrel vaults under various conditions. The external loading conditions included pier rotation in five modes, settlement, and temperature variations in four states. Initially, the experiments extracted the mechanical properties of the scaled materials. Then, three semi-circular brick barrel vaults were tested with gravitational loads. The outcomes were used to develop and validate the finite element model. Following the development of the finite element model, numerical and parametric studies were conducted on the effect of the aforementioned structural hazards on the response of brick masonry barrel vaults with various Persian geometries (semi-circular, drop pointed, and four-centred), angles of skew (0, 15, 30, and 45 degrees), and dimensional ratios. According to the findings, the fragility of masonry materials makes historical structures susceptible to failure under different loading. A brick barrel vault fails in the presence of minor rotation and settlement of the piers. The four-centred geometric shape has the lowest performance among the seven Persian geometries; therefore, its health monitoring and retrofitting should be prioritised. In Isfahan, Iran, temperature variations, particularly during the warm seasons, cause critical conditions in such structures.

  • Horticultural therapy, as a kind of complementary alternative therapies using nature as a medium, is an intervention method that can be applied to various subjects by utilizing horticultural activities that anyone can enjoy as a leisure activity. This research defined the resilience of individuals as a personal characteristic, and examined differences in the intervention effect of horticultural activities depending on the level of resilience. The results obtained in this study can be utilized in planning a horticultural activity program and setting the purpose and goals of horticultural activity programs. The subjects of this study were divided into the high resilience experimental group (Group A), the low resilience experimental Group (Group C), the high resilience control group (Group B), and the low resilience control group (Group D). The experiment was conducted in the campus of G University from September to November 2017, and the experimental group participated in the program once per week, a total of 10 sessions. The Korean version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, autonomic nervous assessment, and the interpersonal relationship change scale were carried out as pre- and post-assessment. Statistical analysis was performed using a non-parametric test. Group A showed statistically significant positive changes in relaxation of physical tension and stability. In conclusion, those with high resilience showed the higher intervention effects of horticultural activities on physical relaxation and stability than those with low resilience. However, there were some possible limitations in this study. Since the number of subjects was small and subjects were limited to college students, it is impossible to generalize the results of this study. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct follow-up studies to address and overcome these limitations.

  • This study focuses on developing a building object recognition technology for efficient use in the remodeling of buildings constructed without drawings. In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, smart technologies are being developed. This research contributes to the architectural field by introducing a deep learning-based method for automatic object classification and recognition, utilizing point cloud data. We use a TD3D network with voxels, optimizing its performance through adjustments in voxel size and number of blocks. This technology enables the classification of building objects such as walls, floors, and roofs from 3D scanning data, labeling them in polygonal forms to minimize boundary ambiguities. However, challenges in object boundary classifications were observed. The model facilitates the automatic classification of non-building objects, thereby reducing manual effort in data matching processes. It also distinguishes between elements to be demolished or retained during remodeling. The study minimized data set loss space by labeling using the extremities of the x, y, and z coordinates. The research aims to enhance the efficiency of building object classification and improve the quality of architectural plans by reducing manpower and time during remodeling. The study aligns with its goal of developing an efficient classification technology. Future work can extend to creating classified objects using parametric tools with polygon-labeled datasets, offering meaningful numerical analysis for remodeling processes. Continued research in this direction is anticipated to significantly advance the efficiency of building remodeling techniques.

  • This paper suggests an analytical approach to investigate the free vibration and stability of functionally graded (FG) beams with both perfect and imperfect characteristics using a quasi-3D higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) with stretching effect. The study specifically focuses on FG beams resting on variable elastic foundations. In contrast to other shear deformation theories, this particular theory employs only four unknown functions instead of five. Moreover, this theory satisfies the boundary conditions of zero tension on the beam surfaces and facilitates hyperbolic distributions of transverse shear stresses without the necessity of shear correction factors. The elastic medium in consideration assumes the presence of two parameters, specifically Winkler-Pasternak foundations. The Winkler parameter exhibits variable variations in the longitudinal direction, including linear, parabolic, sinusoidal, cosine, exponential, and uniform, while the Pasternak parameter remains constant. The effective material characteristics of the functionally graded (FG) beam are assumed to follow a straightforward power-law distribution along the thickness direction. Additionally, the investigation of porosity includes the consideration of four different types of porosity distribution patterns, allowing for a comprehensive examination of its influence on the behavior of the beam. Using the virtual work principle, equations of motion are derived and solved analytically using Navier's method for simply supported FG beams. The accuracy is verified through comparisons with literature results. Parametric studies explore the impact of different parameters on free vibration and buckling behavior, demonstrating the theory's correctness and simplicity.

  • In current study, for the first time, Nonlinear Bending of a skew microplate made of a laminated composite strengthened with graphene nanosheets is investigated. A mixture of mechanical and thermal stresses is applied to the plate, and the reaction is analyzed using the First Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). Since different percentages of graphene sheets are included in the multilayer structure of the composite, the characteristics of the composite are functionally graded throughout its thickness. Halpin-Tsai models are used to characterize mechanical qualities, whereas Schapery models are used to characterize thermal properties. The microplate's non-linear strain is first calculated by calculating the plate shear deformation and using the Green-Lagrange tensor and von Karman assumptions. Then the elements of the Couple and Cauchy stress tensors using the Modified Coupled Stress Theory (MCST) are derived. Next, using the Hamilton Principle, the microplate's governing equations and associated boundary conditions are calculated. The nonlinear differential equations are linearized by utilizing auxiliary variables in the nonlinear solution by applying the Frechet approach. The linearized equations are rectified via an iterative loop to precisely solve the problem. For this, the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM) is utilized, and the outcomes are shown for the basic support boundary condition. To ascertain the maximum values of microplate deflection for a range of circumstances-such as skew angles, volume fractions, configurations, temperatures, and length scales-a parametric analysis is carried out. To shed light on how the microplate behaves in these various circumstances, the resulting results are analyzed.

  • This study presents a methodical investigation into improving structural designs through the analytical examination of the dynamic behavior of functionally graded plates (FGPs) resting on viscoelastic foundations. By employing a four variable first-order shear deformation theory, the study computes non-dimensional frequencies for a variety of porous FGPs with diverse graded patterns and porosity distributions. Different gradient patterns of the plates are considered, and three distinct functions-sigmoid (S-FGM), exponential (E-FGM), and power-law (P-FGM)-are utilized to assess material performance in specific directions. The equations of motion are derived and solved using both Navier's method and Hamilton's principle. Analytical solutions for vibration frequency are provided to validate the proposed methodology against existing literature. Furthermore, a comprehensive parametric analysis is conducted, taking into account various factors such as ceramic material, porosity distribution, gradient index, length-to-thickness ratio, gradient pattern, and damping coefficient. The findings suggest that enhancing the damping coefficient of the viscoelastic foundation can significantly improve the free-vibrational response of functionally graded material plates.

  • 부산항 신항에서 측정한 14년 동안의 파랑자료를 이용하여 재현기간에 따른 설계파고와 신뢰구간을 추정 분석하였다. 극치분석에 사용한 함수는 Gumbel 함수와 Weibull 함수, Kernel 함수이며, 각각의 방법으로 추정한 설계파고의 신뢰구간을 Monte-Carlo 모의기법 중의 하나인 Bootstrap 방법으로 추정하였다. 설계파고의 추정 신뢰구간을 분석한 결과, 약 ${\pm}$10% 수준의 신뢰구간을 만족하기 위해서는 150년 이상의 자료가 필요한 것으로 파악되었다. 그리고 실질적으로 가능한 자료의 개수를 25~50개 정도(25~50년 동안의 추정자료)로 간주하는 경우, Type I 분포함수의 경우 허용오차가 ${\pm}$16~22% 정도이며, Type III 분포함수의 경우, ${\pm}$18~24% 정도로 파악되었다. 한편 비모수적 방법에 해당하는 Kernel 분포함수를 이용한 방법은 Type I과 III을 사용한 것에 비해 신뢰구간은 40% 이하 수준으로 우수한 결과를 보이는 반면, 설계파고는 1.2~1.6 m 정도 낮게 추정하는 결과를 보여주고 있다.

  • 경포호에서 수질 변수들의 장기적인 경향을 파악하기 위하여 1998년부터 2013년까지 매년 3월부터 11월까지 2개월에 1회씩 3개 지점에서 조사된 15가지 수질변수들과 강우량자료를 이용하였으며, Mann-Kendall test, Sen's slope estimator 및 linear regression을 적용 분석하였다. 계절 변화 분석에는 Mann-Kendall test 및 Sen's slope estimator만 이용하였다. 분석결과 염분, 투명도 및 영양염류 (총인, 용존무기인, 총질소, 질산성 질소, 암모니아성 질소)의 변수들만 통계학적으로 유의적인 경향을 보였다. 선형회귀 분석에서는 염분 (표층과 심층의 전 지점)과 투명도 (지점 1)만이 통계학적으로 유의적인 증가 경향을 나타냈으나, 비모수법에 의한 분석에서는 염분과 투명도 모두 전 지점에서 통계학적으로 유의적인 증가 경향을 보였다. 통계학적으로 유의적인 감소 경향을 보인 수질변수들은 선형회귀분석에서는 용존산소 (표층 지점 1, 심층 지점 2와 3), 총인(지점 1과 2), 용존무기인, 총질소, 질산성 질소 및 암모니아성 질소, 비모수법에 의한 분석에서는 용존산소 (심층 전지점), 총인, 용존무기인, 총질소, 질산성 질소 및 암모니아성 질소였다. 계절적인 경향을 분석한 결과 봄에는 염분, 탁도, 투명도 및 부유물질 (SS), 여름에는 염분, 투명도, 질산성 질소 및 부유물질, 가을에는 수온, 염분, 투명도 및 부유물질 만이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 이들 변수들이 계절에 따라 다소 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 봄과 여름에 비해서 가을철에 Mann-Kendall test 및 Sen's Slope estimator에 의해 유의적인 경향을 나타낸 수질변수들이 많았다. 가장 강한 증가 경향을 보인 것은 염분이었으며 봄보다는 여름과 가을에 뚜렷하였다. 투명도도 염분과 유사한 특성을 보였다. 강우량은 조사기간 동안 전체적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 경포호에서 영양염류의 유의적인 감소경향은 그동안 강릉시에서 추진해온 석호 복원사업 및 해수유통 (수중 보철거) 등과 관련이 있는 것으로 판단되나 정확한 원인 규명을 위해서는 보다 면밀한 조사가 수반되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 본 논문은 LBG 알고리즘을 이용하여 다양한 조명에 노출된 의상들의 색상 유사성을 안정적으로 판단하는 방법을 제안한다. 색상 유사성 판별을 위하여 기존에 대표적으로 사용되어왔던 히스토그램 인터섹션이나 누적 히스토그램 방법은 조명 변화에 민감하게 반응하여, 동일한 의상 색상이라 할지라도 서로 다른 조명환경에서는 서로 상이한 색상 판별 결과를 나타낸다. 본 논문에서는 조명에 의한 영향을 줄이고 색상 자체의 분포 특성을 분석하기 위하여 조명조건의 변화에도 일관된 특성을 유지하는 색조와 채도 컬러 성분에 대한 분포 특성을 분석한다. 색조와 채도에 의해 정의되는 2차원 공간에서 각 의상 영상에 대한 색상 분포를 분석하기 위하여 LBG 알고리즘에 의한 비모수적 클러스터링 기법을 적용하고, 클러스터링 결과 얻어진 두 영상의 클러스터 사이의 평균 유클리디안 거리 값을 계산하여 이를 색상 유사성을 판단하는 유사 값으로 정의한다. 제안 기법의 안정성을 입증하기 위하여 서로 다른 조명 환경에서 촬영된 12벌의 의상에 대하여 기존 히스토그램 분석 기법을 기반으로 한 색상 유사성 판별 결과와 제안 기법의 적용 결과를 비교하였다. 실험 결과 제안기법은 동일한 의상 쌍과 상이한 의상 쌍에 대하여 구분을 지을 수 있는 객관적 기준 정의가 용이하였고, 기준에 따른 의상의 동일성 판별 실험에서 91.6%의 판별 성공률을 얻었다.

  • C형 및 H형 단면의 구조벽체는 고층 건물에서 횡력저항시스템으로 널리 이용된다. 이러한 이형벽체는 축력과 함께 x축 및 y축에 대한 2방향 휨모멘트를 동시에 받으므로, 안전한 벽체설계를 위해서는 휨-압축 상호작용을 정확히 고려해야 한다. 이 연구에서는, 대칭단면을 갖는 기둥을 위하여 개발된 기존 등하중법을 수정하여, 2방향으로 재하된 C형 및 H형 벽체를 위한 근사설계방법을 제안하였다. 다양한 단면형상을 갖는 이형벽체에 대하여 2방향 모멘트강도를 계산할 수 있는 단면해석 프로그램을 개발하고, 실험결과와 비교를 통하여 프로그램의 정확성을 검증하였다. 또한 개발한 프로그램을 사용한 변수연구를 통하여, C형 및 H형 이형벽체 단면에 대한 2축 상호작용 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, C형 및 H형 이형벽체의 2축 상호작용은 모멘트 방향과 압축력 크기에 의하여 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 변수연구를 통하여 일정한 압축력에서 2축 모멘트강도의 상관관계를 나타내는 정규화된 컨투어 설계식을 제안하였다. 또한 실무에서 쉽게 활용할 수 있도록, 제안된 컨투어 설계식을 사용한 이형벽체 설계절차와 설계예제를 제시하였다.
