In this paper, the analysis of hyperbolic cooling tower on elastic subsoil exposed to unsymmetrical wind loading is presented. Modified Vlasov foundation model is used to determine the soil parameters as a function of vertical deformation profile within subsoil. The iterative parameter updating procedure involves the use of Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI) feature of SAP2000 to provide two way data flow during execution. A computing tool coded in MATLAB employing OAPI is used to perform the analysis of hyperbolic cooling tower with supporting columns over a hollow annular raft founded on elastic subsoil. The analysis of such complex soil-structure system is investigated under self-weight and unsymmetrical wind load. The response of the cooling tower on elastic subsoil is compared with that of a tower that its supporting raft foundation is treated as fixed at the base. The results show that the effect of subsoil on the behavior of cooling tower is considerable at the top and bottom of the wall as well as supporting columns and raft foundation. The application of a full-size cooling tower has demonstrated that the procedure is simple, fast and can easily be implemented in practice.

최근 해상풍력발전 단지 조성은 많은 양의 에너지를 창출할 수 있어 그 기대는 점차적으로 증가하고 있다. 특히 제주도는 풍황이 우수하여 해상풍력발전 시스템 운영을 위한 최적의 대상지이기는 하나, 화산활동에 의해 형성된 지형으로 육지부와 달리 기반암인 현무암층 사이에 연약층인 화산쇄설물 및 공동이 불규칙하게 발달된 층상구조로 이루어져 있다. 즉, 해상풍력발전기 기초저면 기반암에 연약한 화산쇄설물이 존재하는 경우 풍력발전기의 주기적인 진동으로 지반의 강도가 저하됨은 물론 장기침하로 인하여 풍력발전기의 장기적인 안정성 확보가 어려울 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 제주도의 3개 지역에 대한 지표지질조사와 실내실험을 통해 도출된 설계정수를 파악한 후, 수치해석을 통하여 층상구조로 이루어진 연약지층에 모노파일 설치시 연직변위와 응력분포 결과를 도출하였다.

A new technique to mitigate irregular buildings with soil structure interaction (SSI) effect subjected to critical seismic waves is presented. The L-shape in plan irregular building for various reasons was selected, subjected to seismic a load which is a big problem for structural design especially without separation gap. The L-shape in plan building with different dimensions was chosen to study, with different rectangularity ratios and various soil kinds, to show the effect of the irregular building on the seismic response. A 3D building subjected to critical earthquake was analyzed by structural analysis program (SAP2000) fixed and with SSI (three types of soils were analyzed, soft, medium and hard soils) to find their effect on top displacement, base shear, and base torsion. The straining actions were appointed and the treatment of the effect of irregular shape under critical earthquake was made by using tuned mass damper (TMD) with different configurations with SSI and without. The study improve the success of using TMDs to mitigate the effect of critical earthquake on irregular building for both cases of study as fixed base and raft foundation (SSI) with different TMDs parameters and configurations. Torsion occurs when the L-shape in plan building subjected to earthquake which may be caused harmful damage. TMDs parameters which give the most effective efficiency in the earthquake duration must be defined, that will mitigate these effects. The parameters of TMDs were studied with structure for different rectangularity ratios and soil types, with different TMD configurations. Nonlinear time history analysis is carried out by SAP2000 with El Centro earthquake wave. The numerical results of the parametric study help in understanding the seismic behavior of L-shape in plan building with TMDs mitigation system.

Bi-directional load test is one of O-cell tests. The O-cell test is a system which may be used for performing static load tests on cast in situ reinforced concrete bored piles. The technique was devised and developed by Osterberg of Northwestern University(USA) and has been in use around the world. The principle of the method is that an O-cell is installed in a cast in situ bored pile base. Once the pile concrete reaches its design strength the cell is connected to an hydraulic pump and pressured. Pressurisation causes the cell to expand, developing an upward force on the section of pile above the cell loads, pile movements and strains within the pile then enable the capacity of the pile and its load settlement curves to be ascertained. Bi-directional load tests using O-cell are now becoming common practice around the world, particularly where the loads to be applied are high or where it is not convenient to perform top-down loading tests. In the study, calculate ultimate capacity of bi-directional load test using FEM and beam on elasto-plastic foundation theory.

Simplified analytical solutions are developed for the dynamic analyses of an axially loaded pile foundation embedded in a transverse-isotropic, fluid-filled, poro-visco-elastic soil with rigid substratum. The pile is modeled as a viscoelastic Rayleigh-Love rod, while the surrounding soil is regarded as a transversely isotropic, liquid-saturated, viscoelastic, porous medium of which the mechanical behavior is represented by the Boer's poroelastic media model and the fractional derivative model. Upon the separation of variables, the frequency-domain responses for the impedance function of the pile top, and the vertical displacement and the axial force along the pile shaft are gained. Then by virtue of the convolution theorem and the inverse Fourier transform, the time-domain velocity response of the pile head is derived. The presented solutions are validated, compared to the existing solution, the finite element model (FEM) results, and the field test data. Parametric analyses are made to show the effect of the soil anisotropy and the excitation frequency on the pile-soil dynamic responses.

Performance assessment of pavements proves useful, in terms of handling the ride quality, controlling the travel time of vehicles and adequate maintenance of pavements. Roughness profiles provide a good measure of the deteriorating condition of the pavement. For the accurate estimates of pavement roughness from dynamic vehicle responses, vehicle parameters should be known accurately. Information on vehicle parameters is uncertain, due to the wear and tear over time. Hence, condition monitoring of pavement requires the identification of pavement roughness along with vehicle parameters. The present study proposes a scheme which estimates the roughness profile of the pavement with the use of accurate estimates of vehicle parameters computed in parallel. Pavement model used in this study is a two-layer Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a nonlinear Pasternak foundation. The asphalt topping of the pavement in the top layer is modeled as viscoelastic, and the base course bottom layer is modeled as elastic. The viscoelastic response of the top layer is modeled with the help of the Burgers model. The vehicle model considered in this study is a half car model, fitted with accelerometers at specified points. The identification of the coupled system of vehicle-pavement interaction employs a coupled scheme of an unbiased minimum variance estimator and an optimization scheme. The partitioning of observed noisy quantities to be used in the two schemes is investigated in detail before the analysis. The unbiased minimum variance estimator (MVE) make use of a linear state-space formulation including roughness, to overcome the linearization difficulties as in conventional nonlinear filters. MVE gives estimates for the unknown input and fed into the optimization scheme to yield estimates of vehicle parameters. The issue of ill-posedness of the problem is dealt with by introducing a regularization equivalent term in the objective function, specifically where a large number of parameters are to be estimated. Effect of different objective functions is also studied. The outcome of this research is an overall measure of pavement condition.

The objective of this work was to develop a methodology for geodetic monitoring on onshore wind towers, to ascertain the existence of displacements from object points located in the tower and at the foundation's base. The geodesic auscultation was carried out in the Gravatá 01 and 02 wind towers of the Eólica Gravatá wind farm, located in the Brazilian municipality of Gravatá-PE, using a stable Measurement Reference System. To verify the existence of displacements, pins were implanted, with semi-spherical surfaces, at the bases of the towers being monitored, measured by means of high-precision geometric leveling and around the Gravatá 02 tower, concrete landmarks, iron rods and reflective sheets were implanted, observed using geodetic/topographic methods: GNSS survey, transverse with forced centering, three-dimensional irradiation, edge measurement method and trigonometric leveling of unilateral views. It was found that in the Gravatá 02 tower the average rays of the circular sections of the transverse welds (ST) were 1.8431 m ± 0.0005 m (ST01) and 1.6994 m ± 0.0268 m of ST22, where, 01 and 22 represent the serial number of the transverse welds along the tower. The average calculation of the deflection between the coordinates of the center of the circular section of the ST22 and the vertical reference alignment of the ST1 was 0°2'39.22" ± 2.83" in the Northwest direction and an average linear difference of 0.0878 m ± 0.0078 m. The top deflection angle was 0°8'44.88" and a linear difference of ± 0.2590 m, defined from a non-linear function adjusted by Least Squares Method (LSM).

상부의 큰 하중을 지탱해야 하는 경우에는 일반적인 기초 형식으로서 현장타설말뚝공법이 많이 사용된다. 이러한 현장타설말뚝의 시공은 연약한 토사 지반을 관통하여 암반까지 굴착을 실시하는 것이 일반적이며, 지지력의 대부분은 암반층 근입부에서 발휘되게 된다. 현장타설말뚝의 지지력은 선단지지력과 주면저항력의 조합으로 이루어지게 되며, 과도한 침하가 발생하지 않고 지지력을 얻기 위해서는 근입부의 직경과 길이가 충분하여야 한다. 말뚝의 극한지지력에 있어서 선단지지력은 큰 비중을 차지한다. 그러나, 일반적으로 주면저항력은 선단지지력에 비해서 훨씬 작은 두부 침하량에서 발현된다. 또한 선단부 거동특성은 천공과정에서 발생하는 근입부 바닥에서의 잔류물에 의해서 영향을 받게 된다. 그러나 이러한 잔류물을 근입부에 잔류시키지 않기 위해서는 시공과 검사가 제대로 이루어져야 한다. 이것은 매우 어려우며 비경제적이다. 특히 암반층 근입부가 깊은 경우에는 물이나 천공 슬러리를 사용하여야 하므로 더욱 어렵다. 이러한 이유들로 인해서 작용 하중하에서 말뚝의 거동은 주면부 거동특성에 따라 좌우되게 된다. 따라서 복잡한 발현기구를 가진 주면저항력에 대해서 주로 관심을 가지게 되는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 주면저항력에 관해서만 연구를 하였다. 콘크리트 말뚝체와 주변 암반 사이의 상호작용은 말뚝 거동특성에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소이며, 시공방법에 따라서 큰 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는, 탄소성 해석(FLAC 2D)을 통하여 근입부의 거칠기 경사, 높이와 같은 거칠기 특성, 근입부를 형성하는 주변 암반의 강도 특성과 변형 특성, 근입부의 깊이와 길이 등이 최대단위주면저항력에 미치는 영향에 대한 검토를 실시하였다. 변수 연구를 통하여 최대단위주면저항력에 있어서는 근입부의 연직응력, 거칠기 높이와 근입부 암반의 점착력 및 포아슨비가 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.
