본 연구에서는 SP-100 알루미늄 분말 에폭시의 경도 및 압축강도를 평가하기 위해, 후경화 조건을 달리한 5 종류의 시편에 대해 온도별 경도 측정 시험과 압축강도시험을 수행하였다. 온도별 표면경도 시험 결과, 후경화 온도가 높을수록 경도가 높게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 특히, Case 3과 Case 4의 경우가 다른 Case의 시편에 비해 상대적으로 높은 경도를 보임을 알 수 있었다. 압축시험을 통한 시편의 압축강도는 후경화를 실시한 시편들이 비교적 유사한 강성 및 강도를 나타내었으며 미실시한 시편은 열가소성 수지와 같은 압축응력곡선을 나타내었다.

선저외판은 수압과 동시에 면내 압축력을 받는다. 특히 살물선이 Alternate은 하중상태에서 흘수가 큰 경우, 외판구조는 배길이 및 폭방향의 극심한 압축력과 횡수압을 받기 때문에 설계자가 기존의 선급규정 및 설계기준을 이용하여 선저외판의 치수를 결정하고자 할 때 상당한 어려움을 겪는다. 본 연구에서는 선저 부위의 격자(Grillage)구조물에서 판주의를 둘러싼 보강재의 비틀림 강성을 추가로 고려하여 선저외판의 경계부가 탄성구속이며 면내 및 면외의 복합하중이 작용하는 선저외판의 좌굴강도 평가를 통해 보다 실제적인 선저외판의 치수 결정에 대한 선박 구조설계 측면에서의 타당성을 실적선 자료를 근거로 하여 검토해 보고자 한다. 따라서 경계조건에 따른 판의 탄성좌굴강도의 영향을 특성치 문제로 취급하여 유도된 판의 탄성구속 좌굴계수를 기존의 평가식에 추가로 고려하는 좌굴평가 방법에 근거하여 실적선의 선저외판 치수를 계산하였다. 또한 극심한 면내 및 면외하중과 주변 보강재 효과를 고려하여 상기 계산에 따라 산출된 외판치수에 대한 평가와 다양한 선급 규정에 따른 결과 그리고 1차연구의 방법에 따른 결과를 서로 비교 분석하여 보았으며 이들 각종 평가 결과들을 토대로 실적선 선저외판의 좌굴평가에 대한 실용성을 타진해 보았다.

This work proposes a novel contactless vibration damping and thermal isolation tripod platform based on Superconducting Magnetic Levitation (SML). This prototype is suitable for cryogenic environments, where classical passive, semi active and active vibration isolation techniques may present tribological problems due to the low temperatures and/or cannot guarantee an enough thermal isolation. The levitating platform consists of a Superconducting Magnetic Levitation (SML) with inherent passive static stabilization. In addition, the use of Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) technique is proposed to characterize the transmissibility function from the baseplate to the platform. The OMA is based on the Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI) by using the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. This paper contributes to the use of SSI-EM for SML applications by proposing a step-by-step experimental methodology to process the measured data, which are obtained with different unknown excitations: ambient excitation and impulse excitation. Thus, the performance of SSI-EM for SML applications can be improved, providing a good estimation of the natural frequency and damping ratio without any controlled excitation, which is the main obstacle to use an experimental modal analysis in cryogenic environments. The dynamic response of the 510 g levitating platform has been characterized by means of OMA in a cryogenic, 77 K, and high vacuum, 1E-5 mbar, environment. The measured vertical and radial stiffness are 9872.4 N/m and 21329 N/m, respectively, whilst the measured vertical and radial damping values are 0.5278 Nm/s and 0.8938 Nm/s. The first natural frequency in vertical direction has been identified to be 27.39 Hz, whilst a value of 40.26 Hz was identified for the radial direction. The determined damping values for both modes are 0.46% and 0.53%, respectively.

This study investigated the open hole tensile (OHT) properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites and compared them to bolt joint tensile (BJT) properties. The net nominal modulus and strength (1376 MPa) were found to be higher than the gross nominal strength (1041 MPa), likely due to increasing hole size. The OHT and BJT specimens exhibited similar stiffness, as expected without bolt rotation causing secondary bending. OHT specimens experienced a sharp drop in stress indicating unstable crack propagation, delamination, and catastrophic failure. BJT specimens failed through shear out on the bolt side and bearing failure on the nut side, involving fiber kinking, matrix splitting, and delamination, resulting in lower strength compared to OHT specimens. The strength retention of carbon fiber/epoxy composites with open holes was 66%. Delamination initiation at the hole's edge caused a reduction in the stress concentration factor. Filling the hole with a bolt suppressed this relieving mechanism, leading to lower strength in BJT specimens compared to OHT specimens. Bolt joint efficiency was calculated as 15%. The reduction in strength in bolted joints was attributed to fiber-matrix splitting and delamination, aligning with Hart Smith's bolted joint efficiency diagram. These findings contribute to materials selection and structural reliability estimation for carbon fiber/epoxy composites. They highlight the behavior of open hole and bolt joint configurations under tensile loading, providing valuable insights for engineering applications.

Evaluating the current condition of existing structures is of primary importance for economic and safety reasons. This can be addressed by Structural System Identification (SSI). A reliable static SSI depends on well-designed sensor configuration and loading cases, as well as efficient parameter estimation algorithms. Static SSI by the Measurement Error-Minimizing Observability Method (MEMOM) is a model-based deterministic static SSI method that could estimate structural parameters from static responses. In the current state of the art, this method is only applicable when structures are subjected to one loading case. This might lead to lack of information in some local regions of the structure (such as the null curvatures zones). To address this issue, the SSI by MEMOM using multiple loading cases is proposed in this work. Observability equations obtained from different loading cases are concatenated simultaneously and an optimization procedure is introduced to obtain the estimations by minimizing the discrepancy between the predicted response and the measured one. In addition, a Genetic-Algorithm (GA)-based Optimal Sensor Placement (OSP) method is proposed to tackle the OSP problem under multiple static loading cases for the very first time. In this approach, the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM)'s determinant is used as the metric of the goodness of sensor configurations. The numerical examples of a 3-span continuous bridge and a 13-story frame, are analyzed to validate the applicability of the extended SSI by MEMOM and the GA-based OSP method.

Structural ageing influences the structural performance in a negative way by reducing the seismic resilience of the structure which makes it a major concern around the world. Retrofitting is considered to be a pragmatic and feasible solution to address this issue. Numerous retrofitting techniques are devised by researchers over the years. The viability of using steel bracings as retrofitting component is evaluated on a G+30 storied building model designed according to ACI318-14 and ASCE 7-16. Four different types of steel bracing arrangements (V, Inverted V/ Chevron, Cross/ X, Diagonal) are assessed in the model developed in commercial nu-merical analysis software while considering both material and geometric nonlinearities. Reducing displacement and cost in the structures indicates that the design is safe and economical. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to find the best bracing system that causes minimum displacement, which indicates maximum lateral stiffness. To evaluate the seismic vulnerability of each system, incremental dynamic analysis was conducted to develop fragility curves, followed by the formation of collapse margin ratio (CMR) as stipulated in FEMA P695 and finally, a cost estimation was made for each system. The outcomes revealed that the effects of ge-ometric nonlinearity tend to evoke hazardous consequences if not considered in the structural design. Probabilistic seismic and economic probes indicated the superior performance of V braced frame system and its competency to be a germane technique for retrofitting.

By conducting three-dimensional simulation with consideration of small-strain characteristics of soil stiffness, the effects of excavation geometry and tunnel cover to diameter ratio on deformation mechanisms of an existing tunnel located either at a side of basement or directly underneath the basement were systematically studied. Field measurements were used to verify the numerical model and model parameters. For basement excavated at a side of an existing tunnel, the maximum settlement and horizontal displacement of the tunnel are always observed at the tunnel springline closer to basement and tunnel crown, respectively, regardless of basement geometry. By increasing basement length and width by five times, the maximum movements of tunnel located at the side of basement and directly underneath the basement increase by 450% and 186%, respectively. Obviously, tunnel movements are more sensitive to basement length rather than basement width. For basement excavated at a side of an existing tunnel, tunnel movements at basement centerline become stable when basement length reaches 10 H_e (i.e., final excavation depth). Moreover, tunnel heaves due to overlying basement excavation become stable when the normalized basement length (L/H_e) is larger than 8.0. As tunnel cover to diameter ratio varies from 2.5 to 3.0, the maximum heave and tensile strain of tunnel due to overlying basement excavation decrease by up to 41.0% and 44.5%, respectively. If basement length is less than 8 H_e, the assumption of plane strain condition of basement-tunnel interaction grossly overestimates tunnel movements, and ignores tensile strain of tunnel along its longitudinal direction. Thus, three-dimensional numerical analyses are required to obtain a reasonable estimation of tunnel responses due to adjacent and overlying basement excavations in clay.

Insulating glass units (IGUs) have been widely used in buildings in recent years due to their superior thermal insulation performance. However, because of the panel reciprocating motion and fatigue deterioration of sealants under long-term wind loads, many IGUs have the problem of early failure of watertight properties in real usage. This study aimed to propose a statistical method for wind-induced deflection of IGU panels during the whole life service period, for further precise analysis of the accumulated fatigue damage at the sealed part of the edge bond. By the estimation of the wind occurrence regularity based on wind pressure return period, the events of each wind speed interval during the whole life were obtained for the IGUs at 50m height in Beijing, which are in good agreement with the measured data. Also, the wind-induced deflection analysis method of IGUs based on the formula of airspace coefficient was proposed and verified as an improvement of the original stiffness distribution method with the average relative error compared to the test being about 3% or less. Combining the two methods above, the deformation of the outer and inner panes under wind loads during 30 years was precisely calculated, and the deflection and stress state at selected locations were obtained finally. The results show that the compression displacement at the secondary sealant under the maximum wind pressure is close to 0.3mm (strain 2.5%), and the IGUs are in tens of thousands of times the low amplitude tensile-compression cycle and several times to dozens of times the relatively high amplitude tensile-compression cycle environment. The approach proposed in this paper provides a basis for subsequent studies on the durability of IGUs and the wind-resistant behaviors of curtain wall structures.

최근 탄성파를 기반으로 건축물 안전진단(structure health monitoring, SHM)을 수행하는 방법들에 대한 연구들이 많이 수행되고 있다. 특히 지구물리탐사에서 주로 적용되어 오던 배경 잡음을 이용하는 탄성파 간섭법(seismic interferometry)이 SHM에 많이 적용되고 있다. 탄성파가 건축물 내부로 전파하며 발생하는 건축물의 반응을 분석하여 건축물의 강성 변화를 추정할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 건축물의 손상 여부와 그 위치도 평가할 수 있다. SHM에 적용되는 탄성파 간섭법에 대해 분석한 뒤 실제 적용 사례들도 분석한 결과, 탄성파 간섭법은 건축물의 안정성 평가나 모니터링 등에 적용할 수 있는 건축물 손상 탐지 평가 방법으로써 매우 효과적으로 활용할 수 있다고 판단된다.

모래다짐말뚝(SCP)는 연약지반 내에 다짐에 의해 형성된 모래말뚝을 조성하여 지반 개량효과를 극대화하는 공법이다. 점성토 지반에서는 압밀촉진 및 배수 효과, 느슨한 모래지반에서는 다짐 등을 통해 액상화 대책공법으로 주로 사용되고 있다. SCP의 설계에 있어 강성이 큰 SCP 본체 부분도 함께 고려하지 않으면 과도하게 안전을 고려한 설계가 되며 시공비용이 늘어나 경제적으로도 불리할 가능성이 매우 높다. SCP 타설에 의한 지반 내의 응력상태의 변화나 다짐 메커니즘에 대해서는 지금까지의 연구 결과에 의해 어느 정도 구명되었으나, SCP와 원지반을 복합지반으로 고려한 연구는 사례가 적어 충분히 설명될 만큼 연구 성과를 얻지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SCP 개량지반을 SCP와 원지반으로 구성된 복합지반으로 취급하였으며, SCP 타설에 의한 응력상태나 밀도변화를 모사한 요소시험(CID test)을 수행하여 SCP 시공에 따른 원지반의 응력상태의 변화를 $K_0$와 SCP 치환율의 관계를 통해 고찰하였다. 동시에 반복삼축압축 시험장치를 이용하여 SCP의 시공과정을 실내에서 재현할 수 있는지에 대해도 검토하였다. 시험결과 SCP 시공 초기 원지반의 응력상태의 변화가 가장 크게 발생하고 있으며, 특정 시점 이후에는 SCP 시공을 위한 진동이 지반의 응력특성 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하고 있었다. 또한 SCP에 의한 원지반의 거동을 실내에서 재현하기 위해서는 케이싱 진동에 해당하는 반복재하를 실시하는 것이 반드시 필요하다고 판단된다.
