  • Concrete dams are important structures due to retaining amount of water on their reservoir. So such kind of structures have to be designed against static and dynamic loads. Especially considering on critical importance against blasting threats and environmental safety, dams have to be examined according to the blast loads. This paper aims to investigate structural response of concrete gravity dams under blast loads. For the purpose Sarıyar Concrete Gravity Dam in Turkey is selected for numerical application with its 85 m of reservoir height (H), 255 m of reservoir length (3H), 72 m of bottom and 7 m of top widths. In the study, firstly 3D finite element model of the dam is constituted using ANSYS Workbench software considering dam-reservoir-foundation interaction and a hydrostatic analysis is performed without blast loads. Then, nearly 13 tons TNT explosive are considered 20 m away from downstream of the dam and this is modeled using ANSYS AUTODYN software. After that explicit analyses are performed through 40 milliseconds. Lastly peak pressures obtained from analyses are compared to empirical equations in the literature and UFC 3-340-02 standard which provide unified facilities criteria for structures to resist the effects of accidental explosions. Also analyses' results such as displacements, stresses and strains obtained from both hydrostatic and blasting analysis models are compared to each other. It is highlighted from the study that blasting analysis model has more effective than the only hydrostatic analysis model. So it is highlighted from the study that the design of dams should be included the blast loads.

  • 본 연구에서는 댐이나 보와 같은 수리구조물이 설치된 포화 기초지반에서의 구속흐름(confined flow)에 대하여 확률론적 침투해석을 수행하였다. 침투해석은 유한요소법을 이용하였으며 투수계수의 수평방향과 연직방향의 공간적 상관성이 상이한 비등방성을 고려하였다. 지정된 입력 확률분포함수와 자기상관함수(autocorrelation function)를 따르는 2차원의 랜덤필드를 생성하기 위하여 Karhunen-Lo$\grave{e}$ve 전개법을 사용하였으며 생성된 랜덤필드를 이용하여 확률론적 응답을 얻기 위해 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이로부터 투수계수의 불확실성과 공간적 변동성이 수리구조물과 기초의 침투로 인한 안정성과 관련된 기초를 통한 유량, 구조물 하부에 작용하는 양압력, 하류 유출면에서의 유출동수경사에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 해석결과로부터 투수계수의 확률분포와 자기상관 구조를 만족하는 랜덤필드로 고려하여 공간적 변동을 고려하는 방법은 결정론적 해석이나 투수계수를 하나의 랜덤변수로 고려하는 경우에 나타나지 않는 다양한 지반의 침투거동을 효과적으로 고려할 수 있음을 보여준다.

  • Hurricane Katrina swept New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, in 2005, causing more than 1,000 fatalities and severe damage to the flood protection system. Recovery activities are complete, however, clarifying failure mechanisms and devising resilient and cost-effective retrofitting techniques for the flood protection system are still of utmost importance to enhance the general structural integrity of water retaining structures. This study presents extensive centrifuge test results to find various failure mechanisms and effective retrofitting techniques for a levee system. The result confirmed the rotational failure and translational failure mechanisms for the London Ave. Canal levee and 17th St. Canal levee, respectively. In addition, it found that the floodwalls with fresh waterstop in their joints perform better than those with old/weathered waterstop by decreasing pore water pressure build-up in the levee. Structural caps placed on the top of the joints between I-walls could also prevent local failure by spreading the load to surrounding walls. At the same time, the self-sealing bentonite-sand mixture installed along the riverside of floodwalls could mitigate the failure of floodwalls by blocking the infiltration of seepage water into the gap formed between levee soils and floodwalls.

  • Mobile sand barriers are a new type sand-retaining structure that can be moved and arranged according to the engineering demands of sand control. When only used for sand trapping, mobile sand barriers could be arranged in single row. For the dual purposes of sand trapping and sand stabilization, four rows of mobile sand barriers can be arranged in a staggered form. To reveal the effect of plane layout, the included angle between sand barrier direction and wind direction on the characteristics of flow fields and the sand control laws of mobile sand barriers, numerical computations and wind tunnel tests were conducted. The results showed that inflows deflected after passing through staggered arrangement sand barriers due to changes in included angle, and the sand barrier combination exerted successive wind resistance and group blocking effects. An analysis of wind resistance efficiency revealed that the effective protection length of staggered arrangement sand barriers approximately ranged from the sand barrier to 10H on the leeward side (H is sand barrier height), and that the effective protection length of single row sand barriers roughly ranged from 1H on the windward side to 20H on the leeward side. The distribution of sand deposit indicated that the sand interception increased with increasing included angle in staggered arrangement. The wind-breaking and sand-trapping effects were optimal when included angle between sand barrier direction and wind direction is 60°-90°.

  • Some elevated water tanks have failed due to torsional vibrations in past earthquakes. The overall axisymmetric structural geometry and mass distribution of such structures may leave only a small accidental eccentricity between centre of stiffness and centre of mass. Such a small accidental eccentricity is not expected to cause a torsional failure. This paper studies the possibility of amplified torsional behaviour of elevated water tanks due to such small accidental eccentricity in the elastic as well as inelastic range; using two simple idealized systems with two coupled lateral-torsional degrees of freedom. The systems are capable of retaining the characteristics of two extreme categories of water tanks namely, a) tanks on staging with less number of columns and panels and b) tanks on staging with large number of columns and panels. The study shows that the presence of a small eccentricity may lead to large displacement of the staging edge in the elastic range, if the torsional-to-lateral time period ratio $({\tau})$ of the elevated tanks lies within a critical range of 0.7< ${\tau}$ <1.25. Inelastic behaviour study reveals that such excessive displacement in some of the reinforced concrete staging elements may cause unsymmetric yielding. This may lead to progressive strength deterioration through successive yielding in same elements under cyclic loading during earthquakes. Such localized strength drop progressively develop large strength eccentricity resulting in large localized inelastic displacement and ductility demand, leading to failure. So, elevated water tanks should have ${\tau}$ outside the said critical range to avoid amplified torsional response. The tanks supported on staging with less number of columns and panels are found to have greater torsional vulnerability. Tanks located near faults seem to have torsional vulnerability for large ${\tau}$.

  • The electrooxidation of 8-(3-acetylimino-6-methyl 2,4-dioxopyran)-1-aminonaphthaline (AMDAN) in aqueous and non aqueous media led to the formation of polymeric films, poly (AMDAN). The monomer, undergo anodic oxidation through the formation of a monocation radical irrespective of the nature of the medium. In aqueous medium, the monocation radical undergoes, through its resonance structures, dimerisation involving tail-to-tail, head-to-tail and even head-to-head coupling. The products formed, being more easily oxidisable than the parent substance, undergo further oxidation at the same potential so that the overall oxidation involves a one-step (i.e., a single wave), two-electron process. In non-aqueous medium, the monocation radical does not undergo dimerisation through coupling reactions. Retaining its identity, monomer oxidise in two steps involving one electron in each step. The fact that the cathodic peaks corresponding to these anodic peaks are rarely observed indicates fast consumption of the electrogenerated monocation radicals and dications by follow-up chemical reactions to produce polymeric products (poly AMDAN). The electrochemical behavior of the formed polymer films was investigated in both non aqueous and aqueous media. The films prepared in non aqueous medium were found to be more electroactive than that the films prepared in aqueous medium. This is confirmed with the results in litreature which illustrate that the film prepared in aqueous solution hold water in its structure via hydrogen bonding, which causes decomposition reactions.

  • 호안 보강 (armoring)은 하천, 호수 및 저수지의 호안 침식을 방지하기 위하여 일반적으로 사용하는 공학적 기법이다. 호안 보강은 육역-수역 경계부를 변경하고, 호안 근처의 지형, 수문, 퇴적물 조성 및 수질을 변화시켜서 호안 식생에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 대형 저수지인 의암호의 육역-수역 경계부에서 인위 교란이 호안 식생의 군집 구조와 분포에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 의암호의 호안선은 60% 이상이 콘크리트 옹벽, 사석, 돌망태로 보강되어 있었다. 탈경향대응 분석 (DCA)의 결과에 의하면 보강에 의하여 바뀌어진 호안의 식생 구조가 수생식물 우점 생태계에서 습생식물 우점 생태계로 변화하였다. 호안 보강은 육역-수역 경계부에서 점진적 연속성을 파괴하였고 외래식물의 생물침입을 초래하였다. 2010부터 2013년까지 호안 식생의 분포 면적은 수생식물은 감소하였고 습생식물은 증가하였다. 결론적으로 의암호에서 보강, 도로 건설, 휴양 등과 같은 인간 교란은 호안 식생에서 육역화, 횡단 연속성의 상실, 생물침입을 초래하였다. 그러므로 호안 생태계의 특이성을 보전하기 위하여 호안 수생식물 식생대을 확대할 수 있도록 호안 보강 구조물을 철거하거나 재조성하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.
