국내에 적용되고 있는 블록식 보강토 옹벽의 전면벽체는 보강재의 고정 및 뒷채움재의 유실방지 역할을 하지만, 벽체에 작용하는 하중에 대한 역학적 기능은 부족하다. 보강토체를 구성하는 벽체에 휨 및 전단에 대한 저항 성능을 부여하기 위하여 개발된 강성벽 일체형 보강노반은 다양한 장점에도 불구하고, 기존 공법과 비교하여 경제성 및 시공성 측면에서 단점이 부각되어 현장에의 적용은 미루어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 강성벽 일체형 보강노반의 국내 적용성 향상을 목적으로 강성벽의 성능은 확보하면서 경제성 및 시공성을 향상시키기 위한 보강재 연직 배치 간격 및 길이 변화가 보강토체 전체의 거동에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 강성벽을 갖는 1/10 축소모형 보강토체 및 높이 3m의 실내 실대형 시험체를 조성하고, 모사 열차하중 하에서의 변형 특성을 평가하였다. 시험 결과 비록 짧은 보강재를 사용함에도 불구하고 강성벽 보강노반에서 벽체 수평 발생변위 및 침하는 허용한계 수준 이하이었으며, 보강재 연직 배치간격이 30cm에서 40cm로 증가하여도 사용성 측면에서의 성능 수준에는 큰 변화가 없는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Due to the impressive flexural performance, enhanced compressive strength and more constrained crack propagation, Fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) have been widely employed in the construction application. Majority of experimental studies have focused on the seismic behavior of FRC columns. Based on the valid experimental data obtained from the previous studies, the current study has evaluated the seismic response and compressive strength of FRC rectangular columns while following hybrid metaheuristic techniques. Due to the non-linearity of seismic data, Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) has been incorporated with metaheuristic algorithms. 317 different datasets from FRC column tests has been applied as one database in order to determine the most influential factor on the ultimate strengths of FRC rectangular columns subjected to the simulated seismic loading. ANFIS has been used with the incorporation of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic algorithm (GA). For the analysis of the attained results, Extreme learning machine (ELM) as an authentic prediction method has been concurrently used. The variable selection procedure is to choose the most dominant parameters affecting the ultimate strengths of FRC rectangular columns subjected to simulated seismic loading. Accordingly, the results have shown that ANFIS-PSO has successfully predicted the seismic lateral load with R² = 0.857 and 0.902 for the test and train phase, respectively, nominated as the lateral load prediction estimator. On the other hand, in case of compressive strength prediction, ELM is to predict the compressive strength with R² = 0.657 and 0.862 for test and train phase, respectively. The results have shown that the seismic lateral force trend is more predictable than the compressive strength of FRC rectangular columns, in which the best results belong to the lateral force prediction. Compressive strength prediction has illustrated a significant deviation above 40 Mpa which could be related to the considerable non-linearity and possible empirical shortcomings. Finally, employing ANFIS-GA and ANFIS-PSO techniques to evaluate the seismic response of FRC are a promising reliable approach to be replaced for high cost and time-consuming experimental tests.

Special track systems used to divert a train to other directions or other tracks are generally called 'railway turnout'. A traditional turnout system consists of steel rails, switches, crossings, steel plates, fasteners, screw spikes, timber bearers, ballast and formation. The wheel rail contact over the crossing transfer zone has a dip-like shape and can often cause detrimental impact loads on the railway track and its components. The large impact also emits disturbing noises (either impact or ground-borne noise) to railway neighbors. In a brown-field railway track where an existing aged infrastructure requires renewal or maintenance, some physical constraints and construction complexities may dominate the choice of track forms or certain components. With the difficulty to seek for high-quality timbers with dimensional stability, a methodology to replace aged timber bearers in harsh dynamic environments is to adopt an alternative material that could mimic responses and characteristics of timber in both static and dynamic loading conditions. A critical review has suggested an application of an alternative material called fibre-reinforced foamed urethane (FFU). The full-scale capacity design makes use of its comparable engineering characteristics to timber, high-impact attenuation, high damping property, and a longer service life. A field trial to investigate in-situ behaviours of a turnout grillage system using an alternative material, 'fibre-reinforced foamed urethane (FFU)' bearers, has been carried out at a complex turnout junction under heavy mixed traffics at Hornsby, New South Wales, Australia. The turnout junction was renewed using the FFU bearers altogether with new special track components. Influences of the FFU bearers on track geometry (recorded by track inspection vehicle 'AK Car'), track settlement (based on survey data), track dynamics, and acoustic characteristics have been measured. Operational train pass-by measurements have been analysed to evaluate the effectiveness of the replacement methodology. Comparative studies show that the use of FFU bearers generates higher rail and sleeper accelerations but the damping capacity of the FFU help suppress vibration transferring onto other track components. The survey data analysis suggests a small vertical settlement and negligible lateral movement of the turnout system. The static and dynamic behaviours of FFU bearers appear to equate that of natural timber but its service life is superior.

교통하중이나 건설 작업에 의해 야기되는 지반진동은 인접구조물에 손상을 입히거나 인근 주민들의 생활에 큰 불편을 야기할 수 있으므로 중요하게 측정, 관리되어야 한다. 지반진동으로 인해 발생하는 구조물의 손상은 진동의 직접 전파에 의한 구조물의 손상과 지반진동으로 야기된 지반의 부등 침하의 두 가지 원인으로 분류될 수 있다. 지반진동에 의한 피해를 효과적으로 줄이기 위해서는 현장에서의 정화한 진동의 측정이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 지반진동의 측정에 사용되어지는 대표적인 진동감지기인 속도계의 검증 방법에 대해 기술하였으며, 주파수대역 출력특성이 검증되어진 개개의 속도계로 부터 진동이 전파되는 매질인 지중에서 지반진동이 측정 가능한 3방향 진동 측정기를 제작하였고 진동측정기의 검증 및 운용법에 대하여 상세히 설명하였다. 또한 제작된 3방향 진동측정기로 열차진동, 말뚝항타진동 및 발파진동을 측정하여 적용성을 평가 하였다.

This research examines the eccentric compression performance of composite columns composed of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC)-filled square steel tube and profile steel. A total of 17 specimens on the composite columns with different recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage, RAC strength, width to thickness ratio of square steel tube, profile steel ratio, eccentricity and slenderness ratio were subjected to eccentric compression tests. The failure process and characteristic of specimens under eccentric compression loading were observed in detail. The load-lateral deflection curves, load-train curves and strain distribution on the cross section of the composite columns were also obtained and described on the basis of test data. Results corroborate that the failure characteristics and modes of the specimens with different design parameters were basically similar under eccentric compression loads. The compression side of square steel tube yields first, followed by the compression side of profile steel. Finally, the RAC in the columns was crushed and the apparent local bulging of square steel tube was also observed, which meant that the composite column was damaged and failed. The composite columns under eccentric compression loading suffered from typical bending failure. Moreover, the eccentric bearing capacity and deformation of the specimens decreased as the RCA replacement percentage and width to thickness ratio of square steel tube increased, respectively. Slenderness ratio and eccentricity had a significantly adverse effect on the eccentric compression performance of composite columns. But overall, the composite columns generally had high-bearing capacity and good deformation. Meanwhile, the mechanism of the composite columns under eccentric compression loads was also analysed in detail, and the calculation formulas on the eccentric compression capacity of composite columns were proposed via the limit equilibrium analysis method. The calculation results of the eccentric compression capacity of columns are consistent with the test results, which verify the validity of the formulas, and the conclusions can serve as references for the engineering application of this kind of composite columns.

Ball reducer (HERB Drive: High Efficient Wave Rolling Ball Drive) with waved grooves has many advantages over other types of reducers for high-reduction ratio, low noise and low energy loss, etc. The mechanism of force transmission is very similar to that of cam and follower in automobile valve train system especially in contact behaviors. In this study, we have investigated the traces of contact between ball and outer ring, and the dynamic contact behaviors of elastohydodynamic lubrication(EHL) with a certain reduction ratio. In order to verify the contact behaviors between ball and outer ring for the critical endurance lift, the contact velocity and load are computed for a cycle. During some intervals of a cycle, the contact velocity reverses its direction very suddenly. It is expected that changing the contact direction causes undesirable endurance performance because EHL film frequently col lapse at the moment of velocity reversal. From the computational investigation in this work, we hope to predict similar contact damages in other machinery due to this kind of contact behaviors, which is very typical in many contact phenomena.

Unlike metallic materials, the importance of fatigue performance of concrete has been ignored. However, it is reported that environmental effects, if it cause deterioration, may increase the risk of fatigue failure under repeated loadings. In case of railroad bridges, the risk may increase due to highly periodic, repetitive, heavier nature of train load, which runs through the fixed passage called the track. Especially, when new material or structure is implemented for a main bridge member, experimental validation should be performed to avoid damage or failure due to unexpected behavior. In this paper, the fatigue performance of an IT girder is examined via a repeated loading test. The IT girder is a new type of a prestressed concrete (PSC) girder with two prestressed H-beams in the top of the girder, which provide additional sectional capacity, and it can be applied to the span longer than 30m which is a typical limit for a usual PSC girder. To obtain the fatigue performance, a 10m IT girder specimen is designed, and a repeated load test is performed by applying the cyclic load two million times. The fatigue performance of the girder is examined according to the Japanese and the CEB-FIB design codes. The fatigue test result shows that the IT girder satisfies both design codes.

열차주행이 고속화 되고 콘크리트궤도가 건설되고 있는 가운데 레일 체결장치는 저탄성화로 전달하중, 소음, 진동 등을 저감 하려는 추세이다. 따라서 저탄성패드의 적용은 궤도전체의 내구성과 안정성에 미치는 영향이 크다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구에서 다룬 패드스프링계수별 정적해석과 실물반복재하시험에 이어 동적응답해석을 추가적으로 수행하였다. 열차바퀴를 실물로 모델링하여 레일위에서 직접 주행시킴으로서 이 때 발생하는 궤도각부의 변형특성을 비교 분석하여 저탄성패드의 스프링계수에 따라 노반으로 전달되는 하중의 저감 효과를 검토하였다.
