A study was performed on the design of a mooring line to maintain the position of a floating WEC (wave energy conversion) system. The procedure to design a mooring line is set up and the safety of the designed mooring system is evaluated using commercial software, Orcaflex. The characteristics curve for one line is analyzed to determine the properties and pretension of a mooring line. While considering the ocean environmental condition and importance of a floating WEC system, a multi-line layout is determined. A 4-point mooring system with 4 lines shows the instability in the yaw motion of the floating WEC system under a designed ocean environmental condition. The redesigned 4-point mooring system with 8 lines is found to be safe on the condition of a harsh ocean environment. The floating WEC system with the redesigned mooring system also shows stable motion in surge and pitch under operating conditions. From a parametric study on the mooring line length, the extreme value of the mooring line tension is found to be very sensitive to the pretension and length of mooring line. The results of this study can contribute to the establishment of a design procedure for mooring lines.

Pre-tensioned rock bolts can be classified into fully anchored, lengthening anchored and point anchored bolts based on the bond length of the resin or cement mortar inside the borehole. Bolts in varying anchoring methods may significantly affect the supporting effect of surrounding rock around a tunnel. However, thus far, the theoretical basis of selecting a proper anchoring method has not been thoroughly investigated. Based on this problem, 16 schemes were designed while incorporating the effects of anchoring length, pretension, bolt length, and spacing, and a systematic numerical experiment was performed in this paper. The distribution characteristics of the stress field in the surrounding rock, which corresponded to various anchoring scenarios, were obtained. Furthermore, an analytical approach for computing the active and passive strengthening index of the anchored surrounding rock is presented. A new fully anchoring method with pretension and matching technology are also provided. Then, an isolated loading model of the anchored surrounding rock was constructed. The physical simulation test for the bearing capacity of the model was performed with three schemes. Finally, the strengthening mechanism of varying anchoring methods was validated. The research findings in this paper may provide theoretical guidelines for the design and construction of bolting support in tunnels.

Safety measures for tower cranes are extremely important among the seismic countermeasures at high-rise building construction sites. In particular, the collapse of a tower crane from a high position is a very serious catastrophe. An example of such an accident due to an earthquake is the case of the Taipei 101 Building (the author was the project director), which occurred on March 31, 2002. Failure of the bolted joints of the tower-crane mast was the direct cause of the collapse. Therefore, it is necessary to design for this eventuality and to take the necessary measures on construction sites. This can only be done by understanding the precise dynamic behavior of mast joints during an earthquake. Consequently, we created a new hybrid-element model (using beam, shell, and solid elements) that not only expressed the detailed behavior of the site joints of a tower-crane mast during an earthquake but also suppressed any increase in the total calculation time and revealed its behavior through computer simulations. Using the proposed structural model and simulation method, effective information for designing safe joints during earthquakes can be provided by considering workability (control of the bolt pretension axial force and other factors) and less construction cost. Notably, this analysis showed that the joint behavior of the initial pretension axial force of a bolt is considerably reduced after the axial force of the bolt exceeds the yield strength. A maximum decrease of 50% in the initial pretension axial force under the El Centro N-S Wave ($v_{max}=100cm/s$) was observed. Furthermore, this method can be applied to analyze the seismic responses of general temporary structures in construction sites.

쏘일네일링 공법은 도심지 지하굴착 공사에 있어, 지중매설물이 인접하여 존재하거나 대지경계선 등의 준수 등 시공조건에 따라서 설치네일의 길이가 제한되는 경우 및 연약한 지반조건으로 구성된 사면을 보강할 경우 등과 같은 벽체변위 및 지표침하 억제와 안정성 증대 등을 위하여, 지반앵커공법(ground anchor system)과 유사한 프리텐션 방식의 도입이 필요한 실정이다. 지반앵커공법과 유사한 프리텐션(pretension) 방식의 쏘일네일링 공법을 도입하게 될 경우, 프리텐션 하중에 의해 네일 두부에 부착된 지압판 등은 전면벽체에 수동토압을 유발시키게 되므로, 일반 보일네일링 벽체에서 발생하는 주동토압을 어느 정도 경감시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 아울러 단계별 굴착시 발생하는 변위를 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 단계별 굴착시 유발되는 벽체변위 및 침하량 등을 억제하기 위한 노력의 일환으로, 프리텐션 보일네일링 시스템을 개발하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 실내모형실험을 토대로 프리텐션 쏘일네일링 벽체의 거동특성 및 발휘되는 토압 등을 정량적으로 분석하여 프리텐션 효과에 따른 쏘일네일링 벽체의 파괴유형을 규명하였다. 아울러, 프리텐션 효과가 쏘일네일링 벽체 안정성에 미치는 영향을 검토하여, 향후 예상되는 프리텐션 효과에 따른 수평토압 감소 및 주면마찰력 증가등의 지반-네일 상호작용을 고려한 해석기법개발에 필요한 기초적인 자료를 제시하고자 한다.

도시형 자기부상열차 프리텐션 거더교의 최적설계를 위해서 설계변수 분석을 수행하였다. 자기부상철도용 거더 설계 시에는 중앙부 처짐을 고려해야 하므로 이와 연관있는 콘크리트 압축강도, 거더 형고, 거더 연장및 강연선비부착 길이를 설계변수로 선정하였다. 또한, 프리텐션 거더에서 지점부의 상연응력을 제어하기 위해서 강연선 개소수 및 배치방식을 설계변수로 선정하고, 강연선비부착률을 검토하였다. 설계변수 해석결과로부터 거더 처짐량에는 거더 형고와 거더 연장이 콘크리트 압축강도와 강연선 비부착 길이보다 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였고, 민감도 분석을 통해 설계 가중값을 제시하였다. 지점부 상연응력 제어를 위해서 비부착 강연선배치기준을 만족하는 경우에는 상연 긴장선 또는 철근배근이 필요한 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 향후 경제성 및 시공성 향상을 위해 자기부상철도 가이드웨이의 하중특성을 고려한 비부착강연선 기준 향상에 대한 검토가 필요하다.

프리스트레스드 콘크리트(Prestressed Concrete, PSC) 거더는 프리텐션과 포스트텐션 긴장 방식으로 구분되고, 단면 형상에서는 I형과 U형으로 구분된다. 각 긴장 방식과 단면 형상에 따른 장단점이 있고, 각각의 방식으로 교량 건설 현장에 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 프리텐션 긴장 방식과 U형 단면의 단점을 극복하여 적용한 새로운 거더 형식을 제안하고 구조 성능을 검증하고자 하였다. 프리텐션 긴장 방식의 거더는 반력대가 필요한 관계로 주로 공장에서 제작되며, 이동을 위하여 무게와 경간장이 제한되는 단점이 있다. 또한 U형 단면의 경우 전도 등 시공 시 구조 안정성이 높으나, 자중이 I형에 비해 상대적으로 커서 현장 제작 후 포스트텐션 긴장 방식이 주로 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장 프리텐션 긴장 방식을 적용한 PSC 거더 제작 방식 제시하고 40 m급 실대형 실험체를 제작하여 구조 성능을 검증하였다.

Moonpools are vertical wells in a floating body used onboard many types of vessels like Exploration and drilling vessels, Production barges, Cable-laying vessels, Rock dumping vessels, Research and offshore support vessels. Moonpool gives passage to underwater activities for different types of ships as per their mission requirements. It is observed that inside a moonpool considerable relative motions may occur, depending on shape, depth of the moonpool and on the frequency range of the waves to which the ship is exposed. The vessel responses are entirely different in zero and non-zero Froude number. Former situation is paid attention in this study as the mission requirement of the platform is to be in the particular location for long period of operation. It is well known that there are two modes of responses depending on the shape of the moonpool viz., piston mode for square shape and sloshing mode for rectangular shapes with different aspect ratios of opening like 1:1.5 and 1:2 ratios. Circular shaped moonpool is also tested for measuring the responses. The vessel moored using heavy lines are modelled and tested in the wave basin. The pretensions of the lines are varied by altering the touchdown points and the dynamic tensions on the lines are measured. The different modes of oscillations of water column are measured using wave gauge and the vessel response at a particular situation is determined. RAOs calculated for various situations provide better insight to the designer.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how a fully restrained bolted beam splice affects the connection behavior as a column-tree connection in steel special moment frames under cyclic loading when located within the plastic hinge zone. The impacts of this attachment in protected zone are observed by using nonlinear finite element analyses. This type of splice connection is designed as slip-critical connection and thereby, the possible effects of slippage of the bolts due to a possible loss of pretension in the bolts are also investigated. The 3D models with solid elements that have been developed includes three types of connections which are the connection having fully restrained beam splice located in the plastic hinge location, the connection having fully restrained beam splice located out of the plastic hinge and the connection without beam splice. All connection models satisfied the requirement for the special moment frame connections providing sufficient flexural resistance, determined at column face stated in AISC 341-16. In the connection model having fully restrained beam splice located in the plastic hinge, due to the pretension loss in the bolts, the friction force on the contact surfaces is exceeded, resulting in a relative slip. The reduction in the energy dissipation capacity of the connection is observed to be insignificant. The possibility of the crack occurrence around the bolt holes closest to the column face is found to be higher for the splice connection within the protected zone.
