The frequencies formulas of the bridge are of great importance in the design process since these formulas provide insight dynamic characteristics of the structure, which guides the designers to parametric analyses and the layout of the bridge in conceptual or preliminary design. Continuous rigid frame bridge is popular in the mountainous area. Mostly, this type of bridge was simplified either as a girder or cantilever when calculating the frequency, however, studies showed that the different configuration of the bridge made the problem more complex, and there is no unified fundamental calculation pattern for this kind of bridge. In this study, an empirical frequency equation is proposed as a function of pier's height, stiffness of pier and the weight of the structure. A unified fundamental frequency formula is presented based on the energy principle, then the typical continuous rigid frame bridge is investigated by finite element method (FEM) to study the dynamic characteristics of the structure, and then several key parameters are investigated on the effect of structural frequency. These parameters include the number, position and stiffness of the tie beam. Nonlinear regression analyses are conducted with a comprehensive statistical study from plenty of engineering structures. Finally, the proposed frequency equation is validated by field test results. The results show that the fundamental frequency of the continuous rigid frame bridge increases more than 15% when the tie beams are set, and it increases with the stiffness ratio of tie beam to pier. The results also show that the presented unified fundamental frequency has an error of 4.6% compared with the measured results. The investigation can predicate the approximate longitudinal fundamental frequency of continuous ridged frame bridge, which can provide reference for the seismic response and dynamic impact factor design of the pier.

As power systems grow more complex and power demands increase, the fault current tends to gradually increase. In the near future, the fault current will exceed a circuit breaker rating for some substations, which is an especially important issue in the Seoul metropolitan area because of its highly meshed configuration. Currently, the Korean power system is regulated by changing the 154kV system configuration from a loop connection to a radial system, by splitting the bus where load balance can be achieved, and by upgrading the circuit breaker rating. A development project applying a 154kV Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) to 154kV transmission systems is proceeding with implementation slated for after 2010. In this paper, SFCL is applied to reduce the fault current in power systems according to two different application schemes and their technical and economic impacts are evaluated. The results indicate that both application schemes can regulate the fault current under the rating of circuit breaker, however, applying SFCL to the bus-tie location is much more appropriate from an economic view point.

편심 하중을 받는 철근 콘크리트 기둥에서 띠철근과 콘크리트 강도의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 콘크리트 압축강도, 띠철근 배근간격 및 형상, 편심비를 주요 변수로 하여 단면 $200mm{\times}200mm$의 시험체 24개를 실험하였다. 이러한 연구를 통하여 콘크리트 기둥은 편심거리비, 띠철근 배근간격, 띠철근 배근형태 등에 관계없이 콘크리트 강도가 증가할수록 취성적으로 거동하였고, 편심거리비가 증가할수록 띠철근 배근에 의한 연성 증가 효과는 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 띠철근 배근간격이 100mm에서 30mm로 줄어들 경우, 최대 내력은 10~20% 증가하였으며, 최대 내력 이후에도 보다 연성적으로 거동하였다. 그러므로 고강도 콘크리트 기둥에서 적당한 연성과 강도를 확보하기 위해서는 일반강도 콘크리트에 비하여 더 많은 띠철근 체적비와 밀실한 띠철근 배근이 필요하였으며, 띠철근 배근 간격만을 제한하는 현재의 대한건축학회 내진 기준은 고강도 콘크리트 사용 시 띠철근의 배근 효과와 부재 연성 확보 측면에서 불안전하였으며, 띠철근을 콘크리트 강도와 연계하는 새로운 내진 기준이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Distribution Automation System(DAS) is designed to improve operational efficiency by acquisition and control of remote data using its components such as central computation units, communication network and feeder remote terminal units. A conventional human machine interface of the DAS adopts a schematic diagram which is made by drawing power equipments on the geographic information system map. The single line diagram is more useful than the schematic diagram for the main tasks of distribution system operation such as protective relay coordination, service restoration and loss minimization. Since the configuration of the distribution line is changed according to the relocation of the open tie switches, the auto-drawing algorithm based on the connection between the sections and the switches is an essential technique. This paper proposes a new auto-drawing algorithm for a single line diagram of distribution systems based on tertiary tree and collision avoidance method. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm has been testified for various cases using practical distribution system with 12 feeders.

This paper presents for service restoration Abstract -in electric power distribution systems. The aim of the service restoration is an emergency control in distribution system to restore out-of service areas as soon as possible when a fault occurs in distribution system. For this reason, this paper presents a new service restoration strategy for multi-outage areas. Proposed algorithm consists of two methods. One is individual restoration scheme, the other one is integrated restoration scheme. The former determines restoration order of outage areas based on restoration index. If the former method can not generate a feasible restoration plan, the latter would try to find new configuration without overloaded section through tie exchange method.

In the power plant using high temperature fuel cells such as Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell(MCFC), and Solid Oxide Fuel Cell(SOFC), the generated electric power per area of power generation facilities is much higher than any other renewable energy sources. - High temperature fuel cell systems are capable of operating at MW rated power output. - It also has a feature that is short for length of the line for connecting the interior of the generation facilities. In normal condition, these points are advantages for voltage drops or power losses. However, in abnormal condition such as fault occurrence in electrical system, the fault currents are increased, because of the small impedance of the short length of power cable. Commonly, to minimize the thermal-mechanical stresses on the stack and increase the systems reliability, we divided the power plant configuration to several banks for parallel operation. However, when a fault occurs in the parallel operation system of power main transformer, the fault currents might exceed the interruption capacity of protective devices. In fact, although the internal voltage level of the fuel cell power plant is the voltage level of distribution systems, we should install the circuit breakers for transmission systems due to fault current. To resolve these problems, the SFCL has been studied as one of the noticeable devices. Therefore, we analyzed the effect of application of the SFCL on bus tie in a fuel cell power plants system using PSCAD/EMTDC.

The tied braced frame (TBF) system was developed to achieve uniform seismic inelastic demand along the height of multi-storey eccentrically braced steel frames. A modular tied braced frame (M-TBF) configuration has been recently proposed to reach the same objective while reducing the large axial force demand imposed on the vertical tie members connecting the link beams together in TBFs. M-TBFs may however experience variations in storey drifts at levels where the ties have been removed to form the modules. In this paper, the possibility of reducing the discontinuity in displacement response of a 16-storey M-TBF structure by introducing energy dissipating (ED) devices between the modules is examined. Two M-TBF configurations are investigated: an M-TBF with two 8-storey modules and an M-TBF with four 4-storey modules. Three types of ED devices are studied: friction dampers (FD), buckling restrained bracing (BRB) members and self-centering energy dissipative (SCED) members. The ED devices were sized such that no additional force demand was imposed on the discontinuous tie members. Nonlinear response history analysis showed that all three ED systems can be used to reduce discontinuities in storey drifts of M-TBFs. The BRB members experienced the smallest peak deformations whereas minimum residual deformations were obtained with the SCED devices.

철근콘크리트 구조물은 일반적으로 지진에 연성적으로 거동하도록 설계되며, 이러한 연성적인 거동을 위하여 구조부재는 주의 깊게 상세 설계되어진다. 모멘트 연성골조 구조물의 경우 기둥의 소성힌지 구역에서 횡보강근의 상세는 중요한 고려사항이다. 수 년 동안 강도와 연성을 항상시키기 위한 횡보강근의 상세에 대한 인구가 많은 연구자들에 의해 진행되어 왔고, 그 결과 횡보강근에 의한 코아 콘크리트의 적절한 구속과 주근의 횡방향 지지는 기둥의 연성을 가장 효과적으로 증진시키는 것으로 증명되었다. 횡보강근에 의해 구속된 콘크리트의 강도와 연성증진을 고려한 응력-변형률 특성에 대한 연구는 지난 30년 동안 급속하게 이루어졌다. 그러나 현재까지도 구속된 고강도 콘크리트의 특성을 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 모델은 거의 없으며, 이에 대한 자료도 부족한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 강도, 횡보강근의 체적비, 횡보강근의 배근형태 및 간격, 주근의 배열을 주요변수로 하여 고 강도 콘크리트를 사용한 Large-Scale의 기둥을 대상으로 구조실험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 기존 모델의 일부는 최대 응력을 과대평가, 최대 응력에서의 변형률을 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 대부분의 모델이 응력-변형률 곡선의 하강부분을 합리적으로 예측하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 구속된 고 강도 콘크리트의 거동을 정확히 예측하여 설계에 반영될 수 있는 합리적이면서 실용적인 모델의 개발이 요구된다 하겠다.

본 연구는 700kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 고강도 콘크리트에서 횡보강근 형태, 체적비 그리고 횡보강근 항복강도에 따른 고강도 콘크리트기둥의 거동을 규명하기 위한 실험연구이다. 기둥은 중심축내력의 30%에 해당하는 일정축력과 수평방향의 반복 휨모멘트를 받는다. 본 연구에서 사용된 변수는 횡보강근 체적비(Ps=1.58, 2.25%), 횡보강근 형태(hoop-type, cross-type, diagonal-type) 그리고 횡보강근 항복강도(fy=5,600, 7,950 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$)이다. 실험결과로 모든 기둥의 휨강도는 현행규준의 등가응력블럭에 근거하여 산정된 휨강도보다 낮게 나타났다. 횡보강근을 ACI 규준 요구량보다 42%증가시킨 기둥 시험체는 연성적인 거동을 보였다. 그리고, 본 연구에서 적용한 축력비 0.3 P/PO하에서 고강도급 횡보강근을 사용한 시험체의 연성이 저강도급 횡보강근을 사용한 시험체의 경우보다 같거나 다소 큰 경향을 보이고 있었다.
