Purpose: Purpose: The usability of a mathematical model modified for analysis of the static stability of an asymmetric tractor-harvester system was investigated. Method: The modified asynchronous mathematical model was validated through empirical experiments, and the effects of movements of the center of gravity (CG) coordinates on the stability against lateral overturning were analyzed through simulations. Results: Changes in the lateral overturning angle of the system were investigated when the coordinates of the CG of the system were moved within the variable range. The errors between simulation results and empirical experiments were compared, and the results were -4.7% at the left side overturning and -0.1% at the right side overturning. The asymmetric system was characterized in such a way that the right side overturning had an increase in overturning angle in the (+) variable range, while it had a decrease in overturning angle in the (-) variable range. In addition, the left side overturning showed an opposite result to that of the right side. At the declination angle (296<${\gamma}$<76), the right side overturning had an increase in the maximum overturning angle of 3.6%, in the minimum overturning angle of 20.3%, and in the mean overturning angle of 15.9%. Furthermore, at the declination angle (284<${\gamma}$<64), the left side overturning had a decrease in the maximum overturning angle of 29.2%, in the minimum overturning angle of 44%, and in a mean overturning angle of 39.7%. Conclusion: The modified mathematical model was useful for predicting the overturning angle of the asymmetric tractor-harvester system, and verified that a movement of the CG coordinates had a critical effect on its stability. In particular, the left side overturning was the most vulnerable to stability, regardless of the direction of declination angle.

A self-centering wall (SCW) is a lateral resistant rocking system that incorporates posttensioned (PT) tendons to provide a self-centering capacity along with dampers to dissipate energy. This paper investigates the rocking responses of a SCW with base viscous dampers under a sinusoidal-type pulse considering yielding and fracture behaviour of the PT tendon. The differences in the overturning acceleration caused by different initial forces in the PT tendon are computed by the theoretical method. The exact analytical solution to the linear approximate equation of motion is also provided for slender SCWs. Finally, the effects of the ductile behaviour of PT tendons on the rocking response of a SCW are analysed. The results demonstrate that SCWs exhibit two overturning modes under pulse excitation. The overturning region with Mode 1 in the PT force cases separates the safe region of the wall into two parts: region S1 with an elastic tendon and region S2 with a fractured tendon. The minimum overturning acceleration of a SCW with an elastic-brittle tendon becomes insensitive to excitation frequency as the PT force increases. After the plastic behaviour of the PT tendon is considered, the minimum overturning acceleration of a SCW is increased significantly in the whole range of the studied w_g/p.

An overload limiter is used to prevent its overturning accident during an operation of a movable crane. Recently the indirect measuring method, which measures hoisting load and overturning moment of overload limiter, demands instead of the existing method, which measures only hoisting load. The indirectly measuring method is how to conduct the hoisting load and overturning moment as measuring the load of hydraulic cylinder for a luffing driving of boom. So we need to develop the multi-angular pin type load cell with the measuring angle of ${\pm}10$ degree instead of the existing load cell with the measuring angle of ${\pm}2$ degree. In this study the finite element analysis is conducted to evaluate the effect of the aspect ratio of measuring cross section on the measuring limit of the load cell to develop the many-angular pin type load cell. For this investigation, the aspect ratio of measuring cross section and load applying angle were adopted as design parameters and the stresses of measuring part were evaluated for each parameter.

The single-column pier girder bridge, due to its low engineering cost, small footprint, and aesthetic appearance, is extensively employed in urban viaducts and interchange ramps. However, its structural design makes it susceptible to eccentric loads, flexural-torsional coupling effects, and centrifugal forces, among others. To evaluate its anti-overturning performance reasonably, it is crucial to determine the reaction force of the support for the single-column pier girder bridge. However, due to the interaction between vehicle and bridge and the complexity of vibration modes, it poses a significant challenge to analyze the theory or finite element method of single-column pier girder bridges. The unit load bearing reaction coefficient method is proposed in this study to facilitate the static analysis. Numerous parameter analyses have been conducted to account for the dynamic amplification effect. The results of these analyses reveal that the dynamic amplification factor is independent of road surface roughness but is influenced by factors such as the position of the support. Based on parameter analysis, the formula of the dynamic amplification factor is derived by fitting.

A simple method of assessing the risk of overturning of precast reinforced concrete columns is presented in this paper. The displacement-based methodology introduced herein is distinguished from conventional force-based codified methods of aseismic design of structures. As evidenced by results from field tests precast reinforced concrete columns can be displaced to a generous limit without sustaining damage and then fully recover from most of the displacement afterwards. Realistic predictions of the displacement demand of such (rocking) system in conjunction with the displacement capacity estimates enable fragility curves for overturning to be constructed. The interesting observation from the developed fragility curves is that the probability of failure of the precast soft-storey column decreases with increasing size of the column importantly illustrating the "size effect" phenomenon.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 석축단면의 설계를 지배하는 안정성 검토조건과 그에 따라 계산되는 블록 설치 폭의 변화양상을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구방법: 이를 위해 높이 10m 인 석축을 가정하고 석축을 구성하는 블록 및 지반조건 등에 관해서는 일반적인 설계 값을 적용하여 활동 및 전도를 고려한 석축단면을 결정해보고 그 결과를 비교해 보았다. 연구결과: 설계결과에 따르면 활동에 대한 안정을 고려하여 결정된 블록의 설치 폭이 전도를 고려하여 결정된 블록의 설치 폭 보다 현저하게 작음을 알 수 있었는데 이러한 차이는 활동에 대한 안전율을 전도에 대한 안전율과 같게 적용하더라도 크게 개선되지는 않았다. 전도를 고려하여 블록 설치 폭을 결정하는 방법에는 전도되는 부분의 바닥을 수평으로 보는 방법과 하부의 파괴쐐기를 고려하는 방법이 있는데 석축의 설계를 지배하는 방법은 하부의 파괴쐐기를 고려하는 방법임을 알 수 있었다. 결론: 전도되는 부분의 하부 파괴쐐기를 고려하는 경우 가정한 파괴쐐기의 경사각이 클수록 블록 설치 폭 또한 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 특정한 경사각을 갖는 파괴쐐기를 가정한 벽체에 대하여 벽체 하부에서의 전도를 고려하는 경우 석축의 기하학적 제약조건에 의해 파괴쐐기의 경사각이 감소하게 되어 블록 설치 폭 또한 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 기존의 시설물을 횡단하기 위한 목적으로 시공된 지간장이 다른 2경간 연속 구조물을 대한 압출공법을 적용에 관한 것이다. 압출구간이 비교적 짧은 구조물은 인접 경간의 길이가 다른 경우가 많고 압출시 후방 구조물이 연속되지 않는 경우가 많기 때문에 부재 단면력이 최대 내력에 도달하기 이전에 과도한 처짐과 전도가 발생하여 구조적 안정성이 확보되지 못하는 경우가 있다. 이러한 구조물의 시공단계별 구조물의 처짐과 전도에 대한 안정성을 예측하기 위해서 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 해석에서의 매개변수는 압출추진코와 상부구조물의 길이비, 지간비, 중량비 등이다.해석결과로부터 매개변수의 영향을 분석하였고 압출추진코에서의 구조물의 처짐과 전도 발생 조건식을 제시하였다.

Response spectrum analysis method(RSA) rather than time history analysis method(THA) continues to e used by the profession for evaluating maximum dynamic responses of structures subjected to earthquake excitations. Nevertheless, this simple and practical method can cause significant errors in some cases with unproper modal combination method and so on. To obtain more exact responses based n RSA many studies have been carried out considering displacement of top story, base shear and overturning moment. The purpose of this study is to verify error characteristics in RSA with respect to various responses including displacement shear force and overturning moment of each story. It's shown that RSA appears to yield underestimated responses when compared to THA calculations. Also, errors involved in RSA computations grow with an increase in total number of stories.

최근 노후화와 기능적 요건을 만족시키지 못하여 사용이 불가능한 원통형 사일로 구조물의 해체 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이 연구는 원통형 콘크리트 사일로 구조물의 전도공법에 의한 발파해체를 위한 사전취약화와 관련된 연구이다. 기존의 발파해체를 위한 사전취약화 작업의 경우 시공기준의 부재로 인해 경험에 의해 시공되어 왔으며, 이러한 경험적 시공은 시공도중 구조물이 붕괴 또는 뜻하지 않는 기타 사고로 이어질 수 있는 위험성을 내포하고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 이러한 현실적 상황을 고려 원통형 콘크리트 사일로 구조물의 사전취약화 설계의 과정을 소개하여 원통형 콘크리트 사일로 구조물 및 이와 유사한 형태의 구조물의 사전취약화와 관련된 설계지침을 마련하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국내에 있는 원통형 콘크리트 사일로 구조물을 대상으로 시공계획 순서대로 사전취약화를 실시하였으며, 사전취약화에 따른 유한요소해석 및 구조 해석을 각각 실시하여 사전취약화에 따른 구조물의 안전성 및 공법의 적용가능성을 검토하였다.
