Probability based design(PBD)method has some advantages against current design methods. First, it can provide the quantitative values for the structural safety or capacity through the reliability index, $^{\beta}$. That presented the certainty on the corresponding structure for the designer or user, also that permitted the broad consideration in the safety of structures. In addition, it can give the quantitative lifetime of the related structure in the calculation process of target reliability index. Also, incidental economical efficiency can be expected because decrease of required structural material can be obtained by using the practical material data. Unlikely current deterministic structural design methods, main advantage is the reflection of real condition in the structural design process by application of the data with not small clear specimen but structural size material. Advanced countries, namely America, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand already converted from allowable stress design(ASD) method to PBD method and used as a standard wooden structures code in the late 1980s and 1990s. Other domestic constructions standards such as the steel or concrete constructions accepted and used the PBD methods already. Accordingly, wooden structural design method also should be converted from deterministic ASD to probabilistic LRFD(Load and resistance factor design) in order to keep pace with worldwide demands for PBD. Hence, to suggest the reason of introduction the PBD in domestic wooden structural design and analysis, a brief example was used to show the different reliability index by using the different design methods. Definition, merits and demerits of deterministic ASD and probabilistic LRFD were followed. Also the three examples were presented to show the similarity and differences between ASD and LRFD. Finally, connection problems that might cause a disputation in wooden structural design and analysis were broadly examined.

The extension of existing RC buildings is a challenging process, which requires efficient connection between existing and new materials to guarantee load transferring between the lap-spliced longitudinal columns' reinforcement. Therefore, the length of the columns' starter bars is a crucial factor, which decisively affects the seismic response of the new columns. In particular, when the length of the starter bars is short, then the length of the lap splices of reinforcement is inadequate to ensure load transfer between steel bars and concrete, with an indisputable detrimental impact on the seismic behaviour of the columns. Moreover, in most of the existing RC buildings the column starter bars are of particularly short length, while they have probably been bent, cut or corroded. In the present study, the effectiveness of both welded rebar and mechanical splices of reinforcement in ensuring load transferring between the starter bars and the longitudinal reinforcement of the new column was experimentally evaluated. Four cantilever column subassemblages were constructed and subjected to earthquake-type loading. Three of the specimens were used to examine different types of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), while in the fourth subassemblage mechanical splices were tested. The hysteretic response of the columns was evaluated and compared to the behaviour of a fifth specimen with continuous reinforcement, tested by Kalogeropoulos and Tsonos (2019). Test results clearly demonstrated that the examined types of SMAW were equally satisfactory in ensuring the ductile seismic performance of the columns, while the mechanical splices found to be more susceptible to exhibit slipping of the bars.

본 연구에서는 1900mm급의 춤이 깊은 콘크리트 채움 U형 메가 합성보의 합성보통모멘트골조에 대한 적용성을 검토하였다. 대형 합성보의 실물대 내진성능실험에 대한 현실적 제약으로 인하여 작은 규모의 실험체에 대해 수행된 기존 실험결과의 분석과 수치해석연구의 보완을 통해 연구를 수행하였다. 이러한 형태의 합성보는 부모멘트 작용시의 웨브국부좌굴이 가장 중요하므로 선행 실물대 실험결과로부터 웨브의 판폭두께비와 층간변형능력 사이의 관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 25mm 두께의 U형 강재단면을 지닌 1900mm급의 대형 합성보라 하더라도 층간변위각 2% 이후 웨브국부좌굴을 경험하고 3% 이후 최대변형에 도달하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 합성보통모멘트골조의 요구조건을 상회하는 것으로 AISC 기준에 따른 웨브 판폭두께비 제한이 본 연구의 U형 단면에는 보수적임을 시사하기도 한다. 유한요소해석을 통해서는 합성보의 휨성능 및 웨브국부좌굴에 대한 수평스티프너의 영향을 분석하였다. 대형 합성보는 스티프너 보강과 관련없이 부모멘트 방향으로 공칭소성모멘트 이상의 휨성능을 발휘하였으며, 스티프너를 보강할 경우에는 웨브국부좌굴이 상당히 지연되는 긍정적인 효과가 있었다. 이상의 실험결과 분석 및 해석연구에 의하면 1900mm급의 춤이 깊은 콘크리트 채움 U형 메가 합성보는 합성보통모멘트골조에 보수적으로 적용가능한 것으로 판단된다.

Various artificial reefs provide the fish habitat and nursery, and contribute the improvement of fisheries productivity. The evaluation methods of fishery resources in the artificial reefs have been done by fishing, scuba diving, underwater camera, and scientific echo sounder/sonar. There are a number of studies using echosounders on the quantitative and qualitative evaluations of artificial reefs in various seas around the world. This study focused on the spatial distribution of fishes around artificial reefs and the influential area of reefs off Bukchon, Jeju Island. Not only acoustic data but also various properties of artificial reefs were used in the geographic information system to extract relevant results. As a result, the major material of reefs on this study site was concrete and the number of reefs with that material was the most. The volume of reefs consisted of steel only and steel with riprap was considerably large compared to other reefs. The average NASC in the vertical distribution of fishes in artificial reefs was $31.6m^2/nm^2$ in April, and that was $61.3m^2/nm^2$ in June. The distance between the fish school and their nearest reef in June morning had a wide range from 750 to 3250 m. On the basis of the influence ray of artificial reefs, it had a tendancy of NASC to decrease with distance from the reef in the June morning. It is a preliminary study to present the geospatial analysis example to understand a better way of comprehensive artificial reef environments.
