This study presents an experimental investigation of the effects of surface roughness on gas foil thrust bearing (GFTB) performance. A high-speed motor with the maximum speed of 80 krpm rotates a thrust runner and a pneumatic cylinder applies static loads to the test GFTB. When the motor speed increases and reaches a specific speed at which a hydrodynamic film pressure generated within the gap between the thrust runner and test GFTB is enough to support the applied static load, the thrust runner lifts off from the test GFTB and the friction mechanism changes from the boundary lubrication to the hydrodynamic lubrication. The experiment shows a series of lift-off test and load-carrying capacity test for two thrust runners with different surface roughnesses. For a constant static load of 15 N, thrust runner A with its lower surface roughness exhibits a higher start-up torque but lower lift-off torque than thrust runner B with a higher surface roughness. The load capacity test at a rotor speed of 60 krpm reveals that runner A results in a higher maximum load capacity than runner B. Runner A also shows a lower drag torque, friction coefficient, and bearing temperature than runner B at constant static loads. The results imply that maintaining a consistent surface roughness for a thrust runner may improve its static GFTB performance.

The recommended factored design wind load effects for overhead lattice transmission line towers by codes and standards are evaluated based on the applicable wind load factor, gust response factor and design wind speed. The current factors and design wind speed were developed considering linear elastic responses and selected notional target safety levels. However, information on the nonlinear inelastic responses of such towers under extreme dynamic wind loading, and on the structural capacity curves of the towers in relation to the design capacities, is lacking. The knowledge and assessment of the capacity curve, and its relation to the design strength, is important to evaluate the integrity and reliability of these towers. Such an assessment was performed in the present study, using a nonlinear static pushover (NSP) analysis and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA), both of which are commonly used in earthquake engineering. For the IDA, temporal and spatially varying wind speeds are simulated based on power spectral density and coherence functions. Numerical results show that the structural capacity curves of the tower determined from the NSP analysis depend on the load pattern, and that the curves determined from the nonlinear static pushover analysis are similar to those obtained from IDA.

In this study compressive and tensile load tests have been performed to investigate reinforcing effect and load transfer mechanism of small diameter piles installed in the foundation soil for the marine suspension bridge. Load tests were carried out on steel plate with diameters of 50cm, 100cm and 150cm varying loads starting from 39 tons up to 314 tons. Small diameter piles were proved to behavior like as friction piles and loads were not transmitted to the bottom of piles. From pull-out tests, the uplift capacity of small diameter piles was largely influenced by reinforcing materials compared to frictional resistance between piles and adjacent soils. The bearing capacity of small diameter piles appeared to be higher than the ultimate bearing capacity evaluated using static formulae. The load carrying capacity of small diameter piles was superior to the bored piles with a similar size. Thus, ultimate bearing capacity estimated from static formulae can provide conservative designs and thereby resulting in economic disadvantages. A further study to accumulate data regarding various soil conditions is recommended for an improved estimation of bearing capacity of piles with small diameter.

Energy-efficient contrarotating propeller systems have been recently reviewed as one of alternative means in marine car-carrier applications. Contrarotating rotors preclude the usage of conventional plain journal bearings due to the lack of load carrying capacity. A new multi-recess hydrostatic contrarotating journal beating test facility has been designed and installed to test the static load carrying capacity. Measurements of flow rates and orbits have been investigated by testings on a overhung-type contrarotating rotor system which is supported by a hydrostatic journal bearing. Numerical results of static equilibria were compared with test results. Various contrarotating speed combinations, and supply pressure conditions were selected. The numerical predictions of orbit centers and flow rates are generally accurate.

항타말뚝은 진동과 소음같은 환경적인 문제점이 있다. 특히 대상 토질이 자갈, 호박돌, 풍화암으로 구성되어있다면 항타말뚝의 적용은 불가능하기 때문에 우리나라에서는 현장말뚝의 적용이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 일반적으로 이론적인 공식에 의한 현장타설말뚝의 지지력은 과소하게 산정되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제안된 국내외 지지력 산정식과 현장시험을 통한 실측데이터를 비교하기위해 광안대로와 수영 3호교의 암반에 근입된 현장 타설말뚝에 대한 정재하시험을 수행하였으며, 현장타설말뚝의 주변마찰력을 측정하기 위하여 변위계를 설치하였다. 현장시험을 통한 현장타설말뚝의 거동은 반복하중 재하시 완전한 탄성거동을 보였으므로 이는 실제말뚝의 극한지지력에 도달하지 못하였음을 입증한다. 이때 측정된 말뚝의 지지력이 이론식에 의하여 산정된 지지력보다 크게 산정되었다. 또한 실험에서 측정된 결과에 의하면 현장타설말뚝의 주된 지지력이 선단지지력이 아닌 주변마찰저항에 의한 것이라는 것을 보였다. 그리고 이와같은 결과에 의거하여 현장타설말뚝의 설계에 대한 몇가지 제안들을 도출하였다.

Among soft ground treatment methods with granular soil used in domestic, the sand compaction pile method has been utilized greatly, but, as a result of exhaustion of sand and increase of unit cost, a necessity of an alternative method is suggested. In this study, the static load tests for group crushed-stone compaction piles which were constructed at in-situ site were performed. Pile diameter was 700mm and area of loading plates were changed. The static load tests of single and group piles were performed for area replacement ratio of 20, 30 and 40%. Based on test results, bearing capacity of group crushed-stone compaction pile were estimated. The more both single pile and group pile increase, the more yield bearing capacity tended to increase. Also, the yield bearing capacity of a group pile is about 50% less than the yield bearing capacity of a single pile. If the ground reinforced with the crushed-stone compaction pile is replacement ratio of $20{\sim}40%$, RIYB of both single pile and group pile increases qualitative tendency of linear more than original ground

Stone column is a soil improvement method and can be applicable for loose sand or weak cohesive soil. Since the lack of sand in Korea, stone column seems one of the most adaptable approach for poor ground as a soil improvement method. However, this method was not studied for practical application. In this paper, the most effective design parameters for the being capacity of stone column were studied. The parametric study of major design factors for single stone column was carried out under the bulging and general shear failure condition, respectively. Especially, a test result of single stone column by static load was compared with the bearing capacity values of suggested formulas. The analysis result showed that the ultimate bearing capacity by the formula was much less than the measured value by the static load test. Especially, the result of the parametric study under general shear failure condition showed that the bearing capacity has apparent difference between each suggested formulas with the variation of the major design parameters. Therefore, the result of this study can be a suggestion which is applicable for the field test and the future research.

Twelve push-out test specimens were conducted with various parameters to study the static and fatigue performance of a new through-bolt shear connector transferring the shear forces of interface between prefabricated hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) slabs and steel girders. It was found that the fibers could improve the fatigue life, capacity and initial stiffness of through-bolt shear connector. While the bolt-hole clearance reduced, the initial stiffness, capacity and slippage of through-bolt shear connector increased. After the steel-concrete interface properties were improved, the initial stiffness increased, and the capacity and slippage reduced. Base on the test results, the equation of the load-slip curve and capacity of through-bolt shear connector with prefabricated HFRC slab were obtained by the regression of test results, and the allowable range of shear force under fatigue load was recommended, which could provide the reference in the design of through-bolt shear connector with prefabricated HFRC slabs.

말뚝 해석 프로그램인 PAR에 의하여 말뚝의 극한 수직 및 수평 지지력을 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였으며,현장에서 수행된 말뚝재하시험 결과들을 이용하여 PAR에 의한 사례연구를 수행하였다. PAR에 의해 해석된 말뚝의 극한지지력은 정재하시험에서 구한 지지력에 대하여 약 15%이내의 오차범위에 들었다. 또한, 강관말뚝들에 수행된 정재하시헙, 정.동재하시험 그리고 PDA 결과들을 비교하였으며, PAR에 의해 극한지지력을 예측하였다. PAR을 이용하면 말뚝의 축방향 하중의 분포를 예측할 수 있었으며, 여기서, 하중전이해석도 근사적으로 수행할 수 있었다.
