  • 비선형 정적해석 및 에너지를 이용한 설계방법에서는 구조물을 등가의 단자유도계로 치환하여 해석하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 연구에서는 지진하중에 의한 3층, 8층, 20층 철골 모멘트저항골조(MRF), 비좌굴 가새골조(BRBF)와 힌지접합 비좌굴 가새골조 (DTBF) 구조물의 에너지 요구량을 등가 단자유도계 시스템(ESDOF)의 에너지 요구량과 비교하여 등가단자유도계로 치환하는 방법의 타당성을 검토하였다 입력에너지와 이력에너지를 산정하기 위하여 연암 지반, 연약한 토사, 단층 근처의 지반에서 계측된 60개의 지진을 사용하였으며, 모드 질량계수가 0.8보다 작은 경우 ESDOF로 변환할 때 고차모드의 효과를 고려하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 3층과 8층 MRF와 DTBF에서의 이력에너지와 입력에너지는 ESDOF의 해석결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 그러나 20층 BRBF에서는 ESDOF의 결과가 본 구조물의 결과를 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • The seismic vulnerability of Turkey is relatively high due to its active fault systems with potential to create destructive earthquakes. Thus, reducing the loss of life and property, the number of the earthquake-prone buildings and their retrofit requirements are considerably significant key issues under the scenario earthquakes. The street survey based rapid assessment (SSRA) method can be considered as a powerful tool to determine the seismic vulnerability of building stock of an earthquake-prone city/state. In this study, the seismic vulnerability of the building stock of the Kirikkale province in Turkey is aimed to be estimated adopting the street survey based rapid assessment method (SSRA). For this purpose, central 2074 existing reinforced concrete (R/C) buildings were structurally surveyed with rapid visual site screening and disadvantages such as, the existence of short-column, soft-story, heavy overhangs, pounding effect and local soil conditions were determined for obtaining the structural performance score of each. The results obtained from the study demonstrate that 11-25% of the surveyed buildings in the study region needs to be investigated through more advanced assessment methods. Besides, higher correlation between increasing story number and unsafe/safe building ratio is obtained for the buildings with soft-story parameter than that for those with heavy overhangs and short-column parameters. The conformity of the results of the current study with the previous documented cases of rapid assessment efforts in the recent earthquakes in Turkey shows that the SSRA method for the Kirikkale province performed well, and thus this methodology can be reliably used for similar settlement areas.

  • Compared to LC resonance, LCL resonance has distinct advantages such as a large resonant capability, low voltage and current stresses of the power device, constant voltage or current output characteristics, and fault-tolerance capability. Thus, LCL resonant compensation is employed for a movable Inductive Contactless Power Transfer (ICPT) system with a multi-load in this paper, which achieves constant current output characteristics. Peculiarly, the primary side adopts a much larger compensation inductor than the primary leakage inductor to lower the reactive power, reduce the input current ripple, generate a large current in the primary side, and realize soft-switching. Furthermore, this paper proposes an approximate resonant point for large inductor-ratio LCL resonant compensation through fundamental wave analysis. In addition, the PWM control strategy is used for this system to achieve constant current output characteristics. Finally, an experimental platform is built, whose secondary E-Type coils can ride and move on a primary rail. Simulations and experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of both the theory and the design method.

  • Criticality alarm systems (CASs) are mandatory in nuclear plants for prompt alarm in the event of any criticality incident. False criticality alarms are not desirable as they create a panic environment for radiation workers. The present article describes the design enhancement of the CAS at each stage and provides maximum availability, preventing false criticality alarms. The failure mode and effect analysis are carried out on each element of a CAS. Based on the analysis, additional hardware circuits are developed for early fault detection. Two different methods are developed, one method for channel loop functionality test and another method for dose alarm test using electronic transient pulse. The design enhancement made for the external systems that are integrated with a CAS includes the power supply, criticality evacuation hooter circuit, radiation data acquisition system along with selection of different soft alarm set points, and centralized electronic test facility. The CAS incorporating all improvements are assembled, installed, tested, and validated along with rigorous surveillance procedures in a nuclear plant for a period of 18,000 h.

  • The epicentral region of earthquakes is typically where liquefaction-related damage takes place. To determine the maximum distance, such as maximum epicentral distance (Re), maximum fault distance (Rf), or maximum hypocentral distance (Rh), at which an earthquake can inflict damage, given its magnitude, this study, using a recently updated global liquefaction database, multiple ML models are built to predict the limiting distances (Re, Rf, or Rh) required for an earthquake of a given magnitude to cause damage. Four machine learning models LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), BiLSTM (Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), and XGB (Extreme Gradient Boosting) are developed using the Python programming language. All four proposed ML models performed better than empirical models for limiting distance assessment. Among these models, the XGB model outperformed all the models. In order to determine how well the suggested models can predict limiting distances, a number of statistical parameters have been studied. To compare the accuracy of the proposed models, rank analysis, error matrix, and Taylor diagram have been developed. The ML models proposed in this paper are more robust than other current models and may be used to assess the minimal energy of a liquefaction disaster caused by an earthquake or to estimate the maximum distance of a liquefied site provided an earthquake in rapid disaster mapping.

  • 최근 얕은 심도를 가지는 연약한 지반에서의 터널 굴착이 요구됨에 따라 터널보강공법의 변화가 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 불량한 지반을 대상으로 한 도심지 터널에서 일반적으로 무시되는 전방 코어의 변형을 제어할 수 있는 막장 수펑보강의 효율성을 평가함으로서 터널의 안정성 향상 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 즉, 막장전방의 체계적인 사전보강으로 막장자체의 안정성을 향상시키며, 부수적으로 최종 천단변위 및 지표침하와 같은 지반거동을 억제할 수 있다. 막장의 수평보강 방법을 적용한 3차원 수치해석을 이용하여 지반조건 및 보강 조건에 따른 터널 거동 변화를 산정할 수 있었다. 결과적으로, 막장 수평보강후 막장 압출변위는 크게 줄어들며, 막장전방에 대한 보강공법과 병행할 경우 그 효과가 증가되었다. 특히, 불량한 지반일 수록 막장보강에 의한 지반거동 억제효과가 크게 나타나게 된다.

  • 휴대용 전자기기가 많이 개발되고 보급됨에 따라서 배터리의 중요성은 점점 커져가고 있다. 기기의 수명을 늘이고자 고전력밀도의 배터리를 요구하게 되었고, 현재에는 리튬-이온 배터리를 많이 사용하게 되었다. 단위체적 및 중량당의 전력밀도 부분에서는 기존에 사용하던 배터리보다 성능이 우수하지만, 방전전압이 감소하는 특성이 있기 때문에 배터리의 수명을 최대한 늘리기 위해서는 이 특성에 알맞은 컨버터가 필요하다. 그래서 리튬-이온 배터리를 사용하는 휴대용 저전력 전자기기의 전원부로써 용량성 아이들링 SEPIC을 제안하였다. 승압과 강압이 가능한 SEPIC의 특성을 가지면서, 추가된 스위치와 다이오드를 통해서 스위치에 부분적인 소프트 전환을 가능하게 하기 때문에, 스위칭 주파수의 증가를 가능하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 직류 정상상태의 전압전환비, 동작모드별 회로 및 회의특성을 분석하고 구현하였다.

  • Land creeping is the imperceptibly slow, steady, downward movement o f slope-forming soil or rock. Because creep-related failures occur frequently on a large scale without notice, they can be hazardous to both property and human life. Korea Forest Service has operated the prevention and response system from land creeping which has been on the rise since 2018. We categorized and proposed three survey steps (e.g., preliminary, regional, detailed) for investigation of creeping susceptibility site with a focus on geophysical mapping of a selected test site, Yongheung-dong, Pohang, Korea. The combination of geophysical (dipole-dipole electrical resistivity tomography and reciprocal seismic refraction technique, well-logging), geotechnical studies (standard penetrating test, laboratory tests), field mapping (tension cracks, uplift, fault), and comprehensive interpretation of their results provided the reliable information of the subsurface structures including the failure surface. To further investigate the subsurface structure including the sliding zone, we performed high-resolution geophysical mapping in addition to the regional survey. High-resolution seismic velocity structures are employed for stability analysis because they provided more simplified layers of weathering rock, soft rock, and hard rock. Curved slip plane of the land creeping is effectively delineated with a shape of downslope sliding and upward pushing at the apex of high resistive bedrock in high-resolution electrical resistivity model with clay-mineral contents taken into account. Proposed survey steps and comprehensive interpretation schemes of the results from geological, geophysical, and geotechnical data should be effective for data sets collected in a similar environment to land-creeping susceptibility area.

  • High deformable concrete (HDC) elements have compressive strength rates equal to conventional concrete and have got a high compressive strain at about 20% to 50%. These types of concrete elements as prefabricated parts have an abundance of applications in the construction industry which is the most used in the construction of tunnels in squeezing grounds, tunnel passwords from fault zones or swelling soils as soft supports. HDC elements after reaching to compressive yield stress, in nonlinear behavior have hardening combined with increasing strain and compressive strength. The main aim of this laboratory and numerical research is to construct concrete elements with the above properties so the compressive stress-strain behavior of different concrete elements with four categories of mix designs have been discussed and finally one of them has been defined as HDC element mix design. Furthermore, two columns with and without implementing of HDC elements have been made and stress-strain curves of them have been investigated experimentally. An analysis model is presented for columns using finite element method adopted by ABAQUS. The results obtained from the ABAQUS finite element method are compared with experimental data. The main comparison is made for stress-strain curve. The stress-strain curves from the finite element method agree well with experimental results. The results show that the dimension of the HDC samples is significant in the stress-strain behavior. The use of the element greatly increases energy absorption and ductility.

  • 최근 기계식 터널 굴착기술의 발전과 수압을 받는 해저철도 터널의 특성 상 쉴드TBM 공법이 해저철도 터널 설계 및 시공에 널리 적용되고 있다. 해저철도 터널은 일반적인 지중응력상태에서 거동하지 않고 외부 수압이 상시재하되는 상태이며 지진 시 지진파의 증폭에 의한 영향을 받게 된다. 특히 연약지반, 연약토사-암반 복합지반, 단층파쇄대 등 다양한 지반조건 하에서 작용하는 지진하중은 터널 변위 및 지보재 응력의 급격한 변화를 초래하여 터널 안전성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 또한 지진하중의 주기특성, 지진파형, 최대가속도 등의 재하조건에 따라 지반 및 터널의 동적 응답이 달라지며 이는 지반조건과 결합하여 더욱 복잡한 지반-터널 구조물계의 거동을 보여주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 해저철도 터널의 동적거동 평가를 위하여 수압을 고려하여 지반-터널 구조물계 전체를 유한차분해석 기법으로 모델링 하고 상호 지진 시 구조물 응답을 분석하였다. 해저철도 터널의 지진 시 동적 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자는 지반조건과 지진파이므로 가상 지반조건에 따라 총 6가지의 해석 Case를 설정하였다. 가상 지반조건은 해석 대상영역의 지반이 모두 토사(풍화토)인 경우(Case-1), 모두 암반(경암)인 경우(Case-2), 터널 진행방향(종방향)으로 토사와 암반의 복합지반인 경우(Case-3), 암반 내 폭이 상대적으로 좁은 파쇄대(w = 2.0 m)를 터널이 통과하는 경우(Case-4), 터널 진행방향(종방향)으로 연약토사와 암반의 복합지반인 경우(Case-5), 암반 내 폭이 상대적으로 넓은 파쇄대(w = 10.0 m)를 터널이 통과하는 경우(Case-6)으로 구분하여 각각 모델링을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 지진에 의한 수평변위는 지반물성 증가에 따라 커지는 경향을 나타내었으나 주변 지반의 구속효과와 강성 세그먼트로 결합된 쉴드터널 구조물의 특성으로 인하여 다소 억제되는 경향도 함께 관찰되었다. 세그먼트의 부재력은 변위 발생 경향과는 달리 지반 강성이 약할수록 현저히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며 오히려 변위 억제 효과에 따른 부재력 증가가 뚜렷하게 관찰되는 특성을 확인하였다.
