  • The crown wall with parapet on top of the rubble mound breakwater represents a relatively economic and efficient solution to reduce the wave overtopping discharge. However, the inclusion of parapet leads to increased wave pressure on the crown wall. The wave pressure on the crown wall is investigated by physical model test. To design the crown wall the wave loads should be available, and the horizontal wave pressure is still unclear. Regarding to the horizontal wave pressure on the crown wall, a series of experiments were conducted by changing the rubble mound type structure and the wave conditions. Based on these results, pressure modification factors of Goda's (1974, 2010) formula have been suggested, which can be applicable for the practical design of the crown wall of the rubble-mound breakwater covered by tetrapods.

  • Full-scale and 1:15 scale fluid model experiments of roof ballast pavers are employed to optimize paver geometry and study wind loading and performance of roof ballast pavers. Wind pressures above and beneath pavers are conducted for buildings of different heights and in different flow conditions. The effects of the side hole size and the underneath rib height under the wind loading on pavers and the effects of roof parapet height as well as flow conditions on the performance of pavers are studied. Incorporation of wind tunnel experimental results into code statements is also provided.

  • In recent year, the coat layer drops and the rebar rust of bridge parapets, which caused the structural performance degradation. In order to achieve the comprehensive rehabilitation, ultra high performance cementitious composites is proposed to existing RC parapet rehabilitation. The influence factors of UHPCC rehabilitation includes two parts, i.e., internal factors related with material, such as UHPCC layer thickness, corrosion ratio of rebars, fiber volume fraction, and external factors related with the load, such as impact speeds, impact angles, vehicle mass. The influence of the factors was analyzed in this paper based on the nonlinear finite element. The analysis results of the maximum dynamic deformation and the peak impact load of parapets revealed the influence of the internal factors and the external factors on anti-collision performance and degree degradation. This research may provide a reference for the comprehensive multifunctional rehabilitation of existing bridge parapets.

  • The purpose of this study is aimed at grasping the architectural characteristics of modern buildings in Gangneung from 1910's to 1970's. The results are as follows. 1) The commercial buildings are mostly unsymmetrical flat type and others except commercial buildings are mostly symmetrical flat type. 2)Up until the 1940's, staircases were located inner of building between the first and the second floor, however after the 1950's, they were separately located in one side of the building to ensure perpendicularly more space and easier mobility than before. 3)Windows were widely used in order to avoid monotonous wall elevation after 1950' s. 4)Striped decorations were put to use to decorate the front elevation of building. 5)Parapet which had decorative stripes to the top was generally used to hide roof.

  • 최근의 이상기후에 따른 악영향으로 항만구조물의 설계시 중요한 요소인 심해설계파가 증고되었다. 최근, 증고된 설계파에 대해 마루높이의 절감 및 단면축소에 따른 경제적 효과를 극대화시키기 위하여, 사석경사제형 제체 상부에 이중곡면 반파공을 적용한 각종 구조물형식이 도입되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형실험을 통해 월파와 안정성 검토를 수행하여 방파제의 최적 단면을 선정하였다. 본연구의 수리모형실험에 적용된 단면형식은 총 4가지로 각각에 대해 월파량과 반사율을 측정하여 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 TTP로 피복된 제체 상부에 이중곡면 반파공을 설치한 단면이 가장 우수한 단면으로 선정되었다. 또한, 이중곡면 반파호안의 계획과 설계시 체계적인 검토와 합리적인 단면계획을 수립하여 이를 통해 마루높이 절감에 따른 경제적 효과의 극대화를 기대할 수 있다.

  • The equation of motion of a one way (vertical) spanning strip wall, as an assembly of two rigid bodies, is presented. Only one degree of freedom is needed to completely describe the wall response as the bodies are assumed to be perfectly rectangular and are allowed to rock but not to slide horizontally. Furthermore, no arching action occurs since vertical motion of the upper body is not restrained. Consequently, the equation of motion is nonlinear, with non constant coefficients and a Coriolis acceleration term. Phenomena associated with overburden to self weight ratio, motion triggering, impulsive energy dissipation, amplitude dependency of damping and period of vibration, and scale effect are discussed, contributing to a more complete understanding of experimental observations and to an estimation of system parameters based on the wall characteristics, such as intermediate hinge height and energy damping, necessary to perform nonlinear time history analyses. A comparison to a simple standing, or parapet, wall is developed in order to better highlight the characteristics of this assembly.

  • The part in the structure that is most affected by changes of external temperature is the protective concrete layer that protects a waterproofing layer. Also, the waterproofing layer that is situated under or on the back of such a protective concrete layer is affected by temperature and the behavior of the protective concrete layer under the condition of consolidation or close adhesion. In particular, in many cases, the damage is serious mainly around the projection (such as a parapet), crack, and joint (expansion joint). However, there is no proper way of examining again the non-exposed waterproofing layer once it has been constructed. Therefore, there is an assessment only on the physical property of materials and the capability of the layer in construction, and there is no actual assessment in consideration of its environmental condition or the condition of the use of buildings after construction. Therefore, in order to create more pleasant buildings and to enhance the durability of structures, this study conducts research into the change of capability of non-exposed waterproofing material after the application of a static load and moving load on the waterproofing layer situated under or on the back of protective concrete.
