  • Studies on the optical properties related to the built-in internal field and the carrier localization present in various GaN-based structures are essential not only for the physical interest but in designing practical visible and ultraviolet light emitting device applications with better performance and quantum efficiency. We report on the optical characteristics of various dimensional GaN-based structures such as (i) GaN self-assembled quantum dots grown in Stranski-Krastanov mode (OD), vertically-aligned GaN nanorods (1D), graded-In-content InGaN quantum wells (2D), laterally-overgrown GaN pyramids (3D), and GaN epilayers grown on various substrates. We used a wide variety of optical techniques, such as photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation, micro-PL, cathodoluminescence, optically-pumped stimulated emission, and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. An overview and comparison of the optical characteristics of the above GaN-based structures will be given.

  • In this study, a design process for reinforced concrete structures using the nonlinear FEM analysis is developed. Instead of using the nonlinear analysis to evaluate the required performance after design process, the nonlinear analysis is applied before designing the reinforcement arrangement inside the RC structures. An automatic reinforcement generator for computer aided reinforcement agreement is developed for this purpose. Based on a nonlinear FEM program for analyzing the reinforced concrete structure, a smart fictitious material model of steel, is proposed which can self-adjust the reinforcement to the required amount at the cracking location according to the load increment. Using this tool, the reinforcement ratio required at design load level can be decided automatically. In this paper, an example of RC beam with opening is used to verify the proposed process. Finally, a trial design process for a real size underground RC LNG tank is introduced.

  • Localized wind events, in the form of tornadoes and downbursts, are the main cause of the large number of failure incidents of electrical transmission line structures worldwide. In this study, a numerical model has been developed to study the behaviour of self-supported transmission lines under various tornado events. The tornado wind fields used were based on a full three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics analysis that was developed in an earlier study. A three-dimensional finite element model of an existing self-supported transmission line was developed. The tornado velocity wind fields were then used to predict the forces applied to the modelled transmission line system. A comprehensive parametric study was performed in order to assess the effects of the location of the tornado relative to the transmission line under F2 and F4 tornado wind fields. The study was used to identify critical tornado configurations which can be used when designing transmission line systems. The results were used to assess the sensitivity of the members' axial forces to changes in the location of the tornado relative to the transmission line. The results were then used to explain the behaviour of the transmission line when subjected to the identified critical tornado configurations.

  • Damage of hydraulic concrete structures by the abrasion and erosion process is very severe and it indicates that the necessity of considering the influence of this process while designing concrete mixtures. Abrasion wear of concrete in hydraulic structures is caused by the movement of particles, water-borne debris. The resistance against erosion for high-strength self-consolidating concrete(SCC) was examined in this paper. A newly designed testing method is presented in order to quantitatively estimate the erosion of concrete. It was shown that loss of volume in abraded concrete can be explained as function of material parameters such as the amount of fly ash and blast furnace slag. Those admixtures have been widely used to reduce heat of hydration and improve resistance against sulfate attack. The results of current study can be used as a guideline in selecting the composition of concrete exposed to abrasion-wear.

  • In this study, finite elements addition and removal method by stress range is applied to optimize shapes in structures, without using classical and numerical optimization methods and search methods. The program based on this algorithm is developed and compared to theoritial results with considerable accuracy. Classical methods need mesh generation for finite element analysis for every iteration, the developed method needs updated mesh data such as coordinates of nodes, elements connectivity, and loads on nodes. And other tools of finite element analysis can be in use as a black box to interface with this program.

  • The paper concerns concrete carbonation, the phenomena that occurs in every type of climate, especially in urban-industrial areas. In European Standards, including Eurocode (EC) for concrete structures the demanded durability of construction located in the conditions of the carbonation threat is mainly assured by the selection of suitable thickness of reinforcement cover. According to EC0 and EC2, the thickness of the cover in the particular class of exposure depends on the structural class/category and concrete compressive strength class which is determined by cement content and water-cement ratio (thus the quantitative composition) but it is not differentiated for various cements, nor additives (i.e., qualitative composition), nor technological types of concrete. As a consequence the selected thickness of concrete cover is in fact a far estimation - sometimes too exaggerated (too safe or too risky). The paper presents the elaborated "self-terminated carbonation model" that includes abovementioned factors and enables to indicate the maximal possible depth of carbonation. This is possible because presented model is a hyperbolic function of carbonation depth in time (the other models published in the literature use the parabolic function that theoretically assume the infinite increase of carbonation depth value). The paper discusses the presented model in comparison to other models published in the literature, moreover it contains the algorithm of concrete cover design with use of the model as well as an example of calculation of the cover thickness.

  • In this study, a new recentering friction device (RFD) to retrofit steel moment frame structures is introduced. The device provides both self-centering and energy dissipation capabilities for the retrofitted structure. A hybrid performance-based seismic design procedure considering multiple limit states is proposed for designing the device and the retrofitted structure. The design of the RFD is achieved by modifying the conventional performance-based seismic design (PBSD) procedure using computational intelligence techniques, namely, genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural network (ANN). Numerous nonlinear time-history response analyses (NLTHAs) are conducted on multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) and single-degree of freedom (SDOF) systems to train and validate the ANN to achieve high prediction accuracy. The proposed procedure and the new RFD are assessed using 2D and 3D models globally and locally. Globally, the effectiveness of the proposed device is assessed by conducting NLTHAs to check the maximum inter-story drift ratio (MIDR). Seismic fragilities of the retrofitted models are investigated by constructing fragility curves of the models for different limit states. After that, seismic life cycle cost (LCC) is estimated for the models with and without the retrofit. Locally, the stress concentration at the contact point of the RFD and the existing steel frame is checked being within acceptable limits using finite element modeling (FEM). The RFD showed its effectiveness in minimizing MIDR and eliminating residual drift for low to mid-rise steel frames models tested. GA and ANN proved to be crucial integrated parts in the modified PBSD to achieve the required seismic performance at different limit states with reasonable computational cost. ANN showed a very high prediction accuracy for transformation between MDOF and SDOF systems. Also, the proposed retrofit showed its efficiency in enhancing the seismic fragility and reducing the LCC significantly compared to the un-retrofitted models.

  • 최근, 의료 데이터 표현 분야에서 딥러닝 방법들이 사실상의 표준으로 자리잡고 있다. 하지만, 딥러닝 기술은 내재적으로 많은 양의 학습 데이터를 필요로 하므로 대규모의 데이터를 확보하기 쉽지 않은 의료 분야에서는 직접적인 적용이 어려운 실정이다. 특히 뇌신호 모달리티의 경우, 변동성이 크기 때문에 여전히 데이터 부족 문제를 가진다. 이에, 최근 연구에서는 뇌신호의 시간-공간-주파수 특징을 적절하게 추출할 수 있는 딥 뉴럴 네트워크 구조를 설계하거나, 혹은 자가-지도 학습 방법을 도입하여 뇌신호의 신경생리학적 특징을 미리 학습하도록 한다. 본 논문에서는, 최근 각광받는 기술인 뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스 및 피험자 상태 예측 등의 관점에서 소규모데이터를 다루기 위해 적용되는 방법론에 대한 분석 및 향후 기술 방향성을 제시한다. 먼저 현재 제안되고 있는 뇌신호 표현을 위한 딥 뉴럴 네트워크 구조에 대해 분석한다. 또한 뇌신호의 특성을 잘 학습하기 위한 자가-지도 학습 방법론을 분석한다. 끝으로, 딥러닝 기반 뇌신호 분석을 위한 중요 시사점 및 방향성에 관하여 논한다.

  • 철골 Pre-Engineered Building System(PEBS)이 국내에서도 80년도 후반부터 상당히 일반화되었지만 변단면 PEBS는 대부분 국외에서 개발된 최적화 프로그램으로 구조설계가 수행되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 3차원 변단면 PEBS의 구조설계를 AISC2005의 허용응력설계법과 KBC 기준에 따라 주어진 여러 제약조건들을 만족하도록 수치해석법으로 최적화하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 변단면 구조물의 최적화 설계는 구조해석과 최적 부재설계를 수행하는데, 구조물의 최소 중량화를 위해서 구조해석과 부재설계 과정을 허용응력조건과 변위조건이 만족될 때까지 반복 수행한다. 2, 3차원 변단면 구조물을 최적화 설계한 결과에 의하면 변단면 용접 H-형강으로 설계하는 것이 압연 H-형강보다 상당한 철골 절약효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 변단면 용접 H-형강으로 설계하는 경우 구조물의 종류에 따라 차이는 있지만 AISC2005 기준으로 설계하는 것이 AISC1989 기준보다 철골량이 줄어들었고, 부재 춤도 작게 설계되어 웨브 좌굴에 새 기준이 더 안전한 것으로 평가되었다.

  • The concept of ‘Open Space’ is conceived to be very valuable subject of interest in developing modern settlement system. In Korea, many new and old residential sites have been developed or renewed to fulfil the housing demands. And such trends seem to continue for the time being. What is more, the requirments for more comfortable residential environments, that is deeply concerned with ‘Open Space’, inorease gradually. As a basis for designing more efficent residential environments to fit Korean morden life style, self - grown, traditional and agricultural villages are studied. This study is concenturated on the Open Space System with its socio - cultural and physical backgrounds. For this, data and materials are some widely collected and are analysed focused on the systems and structures of ‘Open Spaee’. Some results from this study are summarized as follow ; 1. It is assumed that the number of houses per village is around 60, and that its area reaches to the radious of 3-4km. 2. ‘POONGSU’is a generally adopted theory based on natural elements like mountians, waters, and orientations when locating villages and composing their spatial structures. As a result of this, the basic structures of villages and Open Space are defined. 3. Circulation system is integrated to the hierachyal order system ; that is, Passing Road \longrightarrowEntry Road\longrightarrowCentral Read\longrightarrowDisperse and Access Road. 4. The natural and agricultural land uses are overlapped with diverse outdoor activities - religious services, play and recreation, relaxation, etc - without any physical modification. 5. At each villages, several artificial and spot - like green facilities are found. And distinctive functions, meanings, and locationalities are given to each of them. On that, they become a visual and psychological centers of each village. 6. In addition to its basic function of circulation, Central Road takes the sence of place for outdoor activities. Because of this charactor, it plays an important role of activating the village life and binding the various Open Space elements.
