Loading protocols have been developed for quasi-static cyclic testing of structures and components. However, it is uncertain if protocols developed for conditions of intense ground shaking in regions of high seismicity would also be applicable to regions of low-moderate seismicity that are remote from the tectonic plate boundaries. This study presents a methodology for developing a quasi-static cyclic displacement loading protocol for experimental bracing evaluation of cold-formed steel stud shear walls. Simulations presented in the paper were based on conditions of moderate ground shaking (in Australia). The methodologies presented are generic in nature and can be applied to other regions of similar seismicity conditions (which include many parts of China, Korea, India and Malaysia). Numerous response time histories including both linear and nonlinear analyses have been generated for selected earthquake scenarios and site classes. Rain-flow cycle counting method has been used for determining the number of cycles at various ranges of normalized displacement amplitude. It is found that the number of displacement cycles of the loading protocol increases with increasing intensity of ground shaking (associated with a longer return period).

본 연구에서는 면진수조의 2차원 동적 해석기법을 개발하고 축소모델을 사용한 진동대실험을 통하여 해석기법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 수조의 벽체는 집중질량을 사용하여 모델링하였으며 유체의 부가질량을 벽체의 절점에 부가함으로써 유체의 동수역학적인 영향을 고려하였다. 면진수조의 운동방정식은 벽체와 유체로 구성된 상부구조의 운동방정식과 바닥슬래브와 면진장치로 구성된 하부구조의 운동방정식을 연계하여 구하였다. 진동대 실험에서는 투명한 아크릴로 제작한 모형수조를 사용하였으며 면진장치는 4개의 고감쇠 적층 고무베어링(High Damping Laminated Rubber Bearing)을 사용하였다. 축소모델에 의한 실험결과는 대체적으로 해석결과와 잘 일치하였으며 계산결과가 다소 보수적인 것으로 나타났다.

본 실험은 무궁화 '홍화랑' 품종의 기내 대량 생산을 위한 액체 현탁배양에서의 배양조건과 방법을 구체적으로 규명하고자 수행되었다. Mesh 종류별로 비교해 보았을 때 가장 굵은 10 mesh를 사용한 것이 callus형성에 효과적이었으며, 회전속도에 따른 callus의 형성은 80 rpm에서 가장 효과적이었다. TDZ 0.01 mg/L 첨가된 MS 고체배지에서 유기된 callus를 TDZ 0.001 mg/L가 첨가된 액체배지에 현탁배양했을 경우 callus 형성과 신초원기 형성이 가장 왕성하였다. 형성된 신초원기를 MS와 1/2 MS 배지에 생장조절제가 첨가되지 않은 조건에서 현탁배양시 신초 재분화율이 가장 높았다. 따라서, 이러한 액체 현탁배양 조건과 방법의 구체적인 규명은 무궁화 급속 대량 번식체계 확립을 위한 가능성을 보여 주었다.

In this paper we apply Monte Carlo Filter to identifying dynamic parameters of structural systems and improve the efficiency of this algorithm. The algorithms using Monte Carlo Filter so far has not been practical to apply to structural identification for large scale structural systems because computation time increases exponentially as the degrees of freedom of the system increase. To overcome this problem, we developed a method being able to reduce number of particles which express possible structural response state vector. In MCF there are two steps which are the prediction and filtering processes. The idea is very simple. The prediction process remains intact but the filtering process is conducted at each node of structural system in the proposed method. We named this algorithm as relaxation Monte Carlo Filter (RMCF) and demonstrate its efficiency to identify large degree of freedom systems. Moreover to increase searching field and speed up convergence time of structural parameters we proposed an algorithm combining the Genetic Algorithm with RMCF and named GARMCF. Using shaking table test data of a model structure we also demonstrate the efficiency of proposed algorithm.

Numerical analysis is a powerful method in evaluating the soil-pile-structure interaction under the dynamic loading, and this approach has been applied to the practical area due to the development of computer technology. Finite Difference Method, one of the most popular numerical methods, is sensitive to the shape and the number of mesh. However, the trial and error approach is conducted to obtain the accurate results and the reasonable simulation time because of the lack of researches about mesh size and the number. In this study, FLAC 3D v3.1 program(FDM) is used to simulate the dynamic pile model tests, and the numerical results are compared with the 1G shaking table tests results. With the different size and shape of mesh, the responses of pile behavior and the simulation time are estimated, and the optimum mesh sizes in dynamic analysis of single pile is studied.

Noting that damage occurrence of offshore jacket platforms is concentrated in two structural regions that are in the vicinity of still water surface and close to the seabed, a damage detection method by using only partial measurement of vibration in a suspect region was presented in this paper, which can not only locate damaged members but also evaluate damage severities. Then employing an experiment platform model under white-noise ground excitation by shaking table and using modal parameters of the first three modes identified by a scalar-type ARMA method on undamaged and damaged structures, the feasibility of the damage detection method was discussed. Modal parameters from eigenvalue analysis on the structural FEM model were also used to help the discussions. It is demonstrated that the damage detection algorithm is feasible on damage location and severity evaluation for broken slanted braces and it is robust against the errors of baseline FEM model to real structure when the principal errors is formed by difference of modal frequencies. It is also found that Z-value changes of modal shapes also play a role in the precise detection of damage.

조적조 구조물은 전 세계적으로 중 저층 주거시설, 상업시설, 종교용 건축물, 학교, 관공서 등의 용도로 폭넓게 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 조적벽체는 조적개체와 모르타르의 이질재료를 접착하여 쌓는 방식의 구조벽체로 지진과 같은 횡력 발생 시 접착력을 잃거나 미끄러지면서 파괴될 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 조적식 구조물의 내진보강 기법을 제안하였으며, 진동대 실험을 통하여 내진 성능을 검증하였다. 진동대 실험 결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 내진보강 기법을 이용한 벽체는 한국 건축설계 기준이 제시하는 내진 기준인 0.14g와 미국 IBC에서 제시하는 내진 기준인 0.4g에서 모두 최종 파괴에 도달하지 않았다. 그러나, 0.14g 이상의 지진을 경험한 면외방향 실험체의 경우 급격한 강성저하가 관찰되어, 적절한 보수 보강이 필요할 것으로 예측된다.

본 연구에서는 오염토양내 석유계 총탄화수소를 분석하기 위한 추출방법을 비교하였다. 사용된 토양은 사질양토였으며 석유계 총탄화수소로는 디젤오일을 선정하였다. 토양내 디젤오일의 오염농도는 건조질량기준으로 100, 10,000, 50,000mgTPH/kg이었다. 오염토양내 석유계 총탄화수소를 추출하는데 있어서 진탕교반에 의한 추출법이 속시렛장치를 이용한 추출법보다 전반적으로 높은 회수율을 보였다. 진탕교반추출법에서 시료와 용매의 비율을 1 : 5(w/v)로 하여 2시간 동안 진탕교반하였을 때 석유계 총탄화수소의 회수율이 가장 높았다. 동일조건에서 100mg/kg과 50,000mg/kg으로 오염된 토양을 진탕교반추출한 경우 각각 95.9%와 95.5%의 회수율을 보였다. 사용된 용매의 손실량을 측정해 본 결과 진탕추출법이 속시렛추출법에서 보다 손실량이 적었다.

Liquid storage tank is one of the major infrastructures and generally used to store gases, drinking and utilizing water, dangerous fluids, fire water and so on. According to the recent reports and experiences, the tank structures are damaged in many earthquakes due to their low energy dissipating capacity. Therefore, many researchers have been tried to know the dynamic properties of the tanks including liquids. However, vary limited experimental studies are carried out using relatively small tank models. In this study, a series of shaking table tests are performed with maximum 2 m cubic rectangular liquid storage tanks made of steel to measure the natural frequency and estimate damping coefficient of impulsive and convective mode of the tanks. Especially, the damping values under different shapes and excitation methods are estimated by logarithmic decrement method and half power band-pass method and compared with current design code and standards such as ASCE 7, Eurocode 8 and NZS. Test results show that the impulsive mode damping is around 2% which is proposed by general standards and codes but the impulsive mode damping is 0.13% average that is slightly lower than the code recommendation.

In order to study the anti-seismic performance of full light-weight concrete utility tunnel, EL Centro seismic waves were input, and the seismic simulation shaking table test was carried out on the four utility tunnel models. The dynamic characteristics and acceleration response of the system consisting of the utility tunnel structure and the soil, and the interlayer displacement response of the structure were analyzed. The influence law of different construction methods, haunch heights and concrete types on the dynamic response of the utility tunnel structure was studied. And the experimental results were compared with the finite element calculation results. The results indicated that with the increase of seismic wave intensity, the natural frequency of the utility tunnel structure system decreased and the damping ratio increased. The assembling composite construction method could be equivalent to replace the integral cast-in-place construction method. The haunch height of the assembling composite full light-weight concrete utility tunnel was increased from 30 mm to 50 mm to enhance the anti-seismic performance during large earthquakes. The anti-seismic performance of the full light-weight concrete utility tunnel was better than that of the ordinary concrete utility tunnel. The peak acceleration of the structure was reduced by 21.8% and the interlayer displacement was reduced by 45.8% by using full light-weight concrete. The finite element simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental results, which could provide reference for practical engineering design and application.
