국내외적으로 도시철도 및 고속철도에서 콘크리트궤도 부설이 증가하고 있는 추세에 있다. 콘크리트궤도에서 필수적으로 사용되고 있는 레일체결장치의 탄성패드는 열차하중에 대한 충격을 완화시켜주는 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 일반적으로 탄성패드의 강성변화를 평가하기 위해서는 단순피로시험[1]이 시행되고 있으나 이는 실제 철도환경조건과는 상이할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 철도현장에서 통과톤수를 받은 탄성패드에 대한 정적스프링계수를 측정하였다. 또한, 신품 탄성패드에 대해서 단순피로시험과 복합가속열화시험을 수행하였다. 사용한 탄성패드의 강성값은 사용시간과 반복횟수에 따른 시험결과값과 비교되었다. 시험결과의 비교를 통해 사용한 탄성패드의 정적스프링계수 변화경향이 반복하중과 열이 함께 고려된 복합가속열화시험결과와 동일한 경향을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 복합가속열화와 관련된 T-NT식을 이용하여 탄성패드의 복합가속열화 모델을 도출하였으며, 약 2.62의 가속계수를 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 본 연구를 통해 폴리우레탄 탄성패드에 대한 복합가속열화 모델식을 제안하였다.

Longitudinal dynamic behaviors of a bridge system under seismic excitations are examined with various magnitudes of peak ground accelerations. The stiffness degradation due to abutment-soil interaction is considered in the bridge model which may play the major role upon the global dynamic characteristics. The idealized mechanical model for the whole ridge system is proposed by adopting the multiple-degree-of-freedom system which can consider components such as pounding phenomena friction at the movable supports rotational and translational motions of foundations and the nonlinear pier motions. The abutment-soil interaction is simulated by utilizing the one degree-of-freedom system with nonlinear spring. The stiffness degradation of the abutment-soil system is found to increase the relative displacement under moderate seismic excitations.

An analysis procedure of 2-dimensional bridge dynamics has been developed by using force-deformation model, which simulates the pier motion under biaxial bending due to the bi-directional input seismic excitations. A three-dimensional mechanical model is utilized, which can consider the other major phenomena such as pounding, rotation of the superstructure, abutment stiffness degradation, and motions of the foundation motions. The bi-directional dynamic behaviors of the bridge are then examined by investigating the relative displacements of each oscillator to the ground. It is found that the nonlinearity of the pier due to biaxial bending affects the pier motions, but the global bridge behaviors are greatly governed by the pounding phenomena and stiffness degradation of the abutment-backfill system. Especially, the relative displacement of the abutment system (A2) with movable supports to the ground is increased about 30% due to the abutment stiffness degradation.

In the present research, fatigue behavior of chopped strand mat/epoxy composites has been studied with two different techniques. First, the normalized stiffness degradation approach as a well-known model for unidirectional and laminated composites was utilized to predict the fatigue behavior of chopped strand mat/epoxy composites. Then, the capability of the fatigue damage accumulation model for chopped strand mat/epoxy composites was investigated. A series of tests has been performed at different stress levels to evaluate both models with the obtained results. The results of evaluation indicate a better correlation of the normalized stiffness degradation technique with experimental results in comparison with the fatigue damage accumulation model.

Monopile foundations of offshore wind turbines embedded in soft clay are subjected to the long-term cyclic lateral loads induced by winds, currents, and waves, the vibration of monopile leads to the accumulation of pore pressure and cyclic strains in the soil in its vicinity, which poses a threat to the safety operation of monopile. The researchers mainly focused on the hysteretic stress-strain relationship of soft clay and kinds of stiffness degradation models have been adopted, which may consume considerable computing resources and is not applicable for the long-term bearing performance analysis of monopile. In this study, a modified cyclic stiffness degradation model considering the effect of plastic strain and pore pressure change has been proposed and validated by comparing with the triaxial test results. Subsequently, the effects of cyclic load ratio, pile aspect ratio, number of load cycles, and length to embedded depth ratio on the accumulated rotation angle and pore pressure are presented. The results indicate the number of load cycles can significantly affect the accumulated rotation angle of monopile, whereas the accumulated pore pressure distribution along the pile merely changes with pile diameter, embedded length, and the number of load cycles, the stiffness of monopile can be significantly weakened by decreasing the embedded depth ratio L/H of monopile. The stiffness degradation of soil is more significant in the passive earth pressure zone, in which soil liquefaction is likely to occur. Furthermore, the suitability of the "accumulated rotation angle" and "accumulated pore pressure" design criteria for determining the required cyclic load ratio are discussed.

In this paper, the dynamic flexural stiffness of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) members is investigated based on vibration modal testing and a Bayesian model updating procedure. To reflect the actual service states of CFST members, a 3-stage modal testing procedure is developed for 6 circular CFST beam-columns, in which the modal parameters of the specimens under varying axial load levels are extracted. In the model updating procedure, a Timoshenko beam element model is first established, in which the influence of shear deformation and rotational inertia are incorporated. Subsequently, a 2-round Bayesian model updating strategy is proposed to calculate the dynamic flexural stiffness of the specimens, which could effectively consider the influence of physical constraints in the updating process and achieve reasonably well results. Analysis of the updating results shows that with the increase of the axial load level, degradation of the flexural stiffness is significantly influenced by the load eccentricity. It shows that the cracking of the core concrete is the primary reason for the flexural stiffness degradation of CFST beam-columns. Finally, based on comparison with equations proposed by several design standards, the calculation methods for the dynamic flexural stiffness of CFST members is recommended.

해저 터널의 안정성 평가는 계측 변위 이외에도 응력, 수압 그리고 지반강성(열화) 등 다른 계측 정보를 사용해서 역해석 알고리즘에 반영하면, 그 효율성이 증대될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 FLAC3D 프로그램에 내장된 FISH 언어를 사용해서, 기 구축된 변위-응력 기반의 차분진화 알고리즘을 수정 및 확장하였다. 확장된 차분진화 알고리즘에는 변위, 응력 정보 외에도 수압 및 지반 및 라이닝 열화 정보도 입력 인자로 사용되었다. 해저 터널 안정성 평가에 추가적인 계측 정보를 활용하면, 터널 역해석에 대한 오차율이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, inelastic displacement ratios are investigated for existing systems with known lateral strength considering soil structure interaction. For this purpose, SDOF systems for period range of 0.1-3.0 s with different hysteretic behaviors are considered for a number of 18 earthquake motions recorded on soft soil. The effect of stiffness degradation on inelastic displacement ratios is investigated. The Modified Clough model is used to represent structures that exhibit significant stiffness degradation when subjected to reverse cyclic loading and the elastoplastic model is used to represent non-degrading structures. Soil structure interaction analyses are conducted by means of equivalent fixed base model effective period, effective damping and effective ductility values differing from fixed-base case. For inelastic time history analyses, Newmark method for step by step time integration was adapted in an in-house computer program. A new equation is proposed for inelastic displacement ratio of system with SSI with elastoplastic or degrading behavior as a function of structural period ($\tilde{T}$), strength reduction factor (R) and period lengthening ratio ($\tilde{T}$/T). The proposed equation for $\tilde{C}_R$ which takes the soil-structure interaction into account should be useful in estimating the inelastic deformation of existing structures with known lateral strength.

필라멘트 와인딩으로 제작된 고체 모터 연소관의 구조강성저하 평가 및 파열특성을 확인하기 위한 수압시험을 수행하였다. 본 연소관의 파손 요구조건으로서 운용 중 최대 예상압력(MEOP)의 1.5배 이상의 압력에서 실린더 파손이 일어나야함을 제시하였다. 해석 결과 연소관의 내부압력이 2088psig 일 때 실린더층의 섬유가 끊어지는 것으로 나타났으며 수압시험을 수행하여 2200psig 수준에서 실린더 부위가 파손됨을 검증하였다. 또한 제작 후 1년 정도 경과 후에도 강성저하가 없음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 균열에 의한 콘크리트 전단벽 강성저하 영향 평가를 위해 수행되었으며, 극한 내지진 하중의 60%까지 재하한 비선형 해석 결과, 사전 균열효과에 의해 비손상 대비 진동수의 12%정도 진동수가 감소하였으며 강성 측면에서 23%정도의 감소현상을 나타냈다. 단계적으로 지진하중의 크기를 증가시킨 비선형 해석 결과, 지진하중의 세기가 커짐에 따라 콘크리트 전단벽체에 전단균열이 발생하여 진전함을 파악하고, 반복이력에 의한 에너지 손실과 강성 저하가 뚜렷하게 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 두 가지 콘크리트 강도와 전단벽 제원에 대하여 지진하중의 크기가 극한 내지진 하중에 근접함에 따라 진동수의 감소량은 비손상 대비 10~40%정도로 나타났으며, 강성의 경우 비손상 대비 40%정도 수준까지 감소할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
