Characteristics of joint orientation, length, spacing and their distribution are very important factors for slope stability, Especially, the effect of joint spacing is an essential factor of slope stability. This study is to analyze the effect of joint spacing in cases of sliding and toppling, which is a typical failure mode. Joint spacing can divided into vertical spacing(spacing) and horizontal spacing(gap). And then, the spacing/length ratio of joint directly affect rock slope failure. When the ratio is below 0.05, the possibility of failure is rapidly increased. In case of toppling, the possibility of failure depends on the ratio of spacing to height of slope ratio slope. As the ratio decreases, the possibility of toppling failure increased. The critical ratio of spacing to height of slope is determined by the dip angle of the slope and the orientation of joint sets.

Power에 의해 제안된 간격계수는 기하학적 모델을 바탕으로 구성된 공극 간격의 평균적 개념으로, 실제 콘크리트의 공극구조 특성을 반영하는데 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 간격계수의 한계를 극복하기 위해 콘크리트의 실제 공극구조 특성을 반영한 간격분포지수를 제안하였으며, 간격계수와의 비교분석을 통해 이 지수에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 본 연구결과, 간격계수는 AE제 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 간격분포지수는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 간격분포지수가 간격분포곡선의 면적 값을 이용한 것으로 간격별 빈도수가 높은 것이 크게 나타나기 때문이다. 또한 간격계수 $300{\mu}m$이하의 범위에서 간격분포지수는 더 넓은 범위를 나타내었다. 이에 간격분포지수 사용 시 내구성지수 80% 이상이 되는 임계지점을 찾는데 좀 더 용이할 것으로 예상되며, 콘크리트의 내구성을 추정하는데 있어 좀 더 신뢰성 있는 분석이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 간격분포지수는 공극 간격분포의 면적 값으로 실제 콘크리트의 공극구조특성을 반영한 지수이다. 추후, 동결융해실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 추가적인 검증연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study is to investigate for the frost resistance of high-flowing concrete using finely ground granulated blast-furnace slag with experimental parameters, such as type of binder, type of superplasticizer and method of curing. The resistance to freezing and thawing of high-flowing concrete by type of binder and superplasticizer is presented differently. Though the frost resistance of high-flowing concrete is satisfactory under standard condition, it is required that high-flowing concrete has entrained air like plain concrete. Because the critical spacing factor, being capacity of frost resistance, of high-flowing concrete is longer that of plain concrete, the frost resistance of high-flowing concrete, using finely ground granulated furnace blast slag, is superior to that of plain concrete.

An efficient procedure to obtain the optimal stacking sequence and the minimum weight of stiffened laminated composite curved panels under several loading conditions and stiffener layouts has been developed based on the finite element method and the genetic algorithm that is powerful for the problem with integer variables. Often, designing composite laminates ends up with a stacking sequence optimization that may be formulated as an integer programming problem. This procedure is applied for a problem to find the stacking sequence having a maximum critical buckling load factor and the minimum weight. The object function in this case is the weight of a stiffened laminated composite shell. Three different types of stiffener layouts with different loading conditions are investigated to see how these parameters influence on the stacking sequence optimization of the panel and the stiffeners. It is noticed from the results that the optimal stacking sequence and lay-up angles vary depending on the types. of loading and stiffener spacing.

본 연구에서는 지오그리드로 보강된 도로제방 사면에 대해 한계평형해석에 근거한 보강사면해석 프로그램인 RSS를 이용하여 보강길이와 간격의 변화에 따른 사면의 안전율 변화를 살펴보았다. 해석결과 비보강시 기준안전율을 만족하지 못하는 사면에서 보강재길이의 증가에 따라 비보강사면에 비해 최대 50~150%의 안전율이 증가되었으며 보강길이를 증가시켜도 안전율의 추가상승이 없는 한계길이를 확인하였다. 또한 동일 가상보강단면에 대하여 범용프로그램인 FLAC을 이용하여 유한차분해석을 실시하여 안정성이 확보된 사면에 발생하는 수평변위, 수평응력, 보강재의 인장력을 산출하여 보강길이의 추가적인 증가에 의한 효과를 알아보았다. 해석결과, 파괴형태는 선단파괴 또는 사면내 파괴로 나타났으며 안정성을 확보한 상태에서는 한계평형해석결과와 동일하게 보강길이의 추가적인 증가에 의한 안정성 증대효과는 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

Cellular and castellated steel beams are used to obtain higher stiffness and bending capacity using the same weight of steel. In addition, the beam openings may be used as a pass for different mechanical fixtures such as ducts and pipes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different parameters on both elastic and inelastic critical buckling stresses of steel web plates with openings. These parameters are plate aspect ratio; opening shape (circular or rectangular); end distance to the first opening; opening spacing; opening size; plate slenderness ratio; steel grade; and initial web imperfection. The web/flange interaction has been simplified by web edge restraints representing simply supported boundary conditions. A numerical parametric study has been performed through linear and nonlinear finite element (FE) models, where the FE results have been verified against both experimental and numerical results in the literature. The web plates are subject to in-plane linearly varying compression with different loading patterns, ranging from uniform compression to pure bending. A buckling stress modification factor (${\beta}$-factor) has been introduced as a ratio of buckling stress of web plate with openings to buckling stress of the corresponding solid web plate. The variation of ${\beta}$-factor against the aforementioned parameters has been reported. Furthermore, the critical plate slenderness ratio separating elastic buckling and yielding has been identified and discussed for two steel grades of DIN-17100, namely: ST-37/2 and ST-52/3. The FE results revealed that the minimum ${\beta}$-factor is 0.9 for web plates under uniform compression and 0.7 for those under both compression and tension.

Soil salinity is the most critical factor for crop production at reclaimed tidal saline soil. Subsurface drainage system is recognized as a powerful tool for the process of desalinization in saline soil. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of subsurface drainage systems on soil salinity and corn development at Saemangeum reclaimed tidal saline soil. The field experiments were carried out between 2012 and 2014 at Saemangeum reclaimed tidal land, Buan, Korea. Subsurface drainage was installed with four treatments: 1) drain spacing of 5 m, 2) drain spacing 10 m, 3) double layer with drain spacing 5 m and 10 m, and 4) the control without any treatment. The levels of water table showed shorter periods above 60 cm levels with the deeper installation of subsurface drainage system. Water soluble cations were significantly greater than exchangeable forms and soluble Na contents, especially in surface layer, were greatly reduced with the installation of subsurface drainage system. Subsurface drainage system improved biomass yield of corn and withering rate. Thus, the biomass yield of corn was improved and the shoot growth was more affected by salinity than was the root growth. The efficiency of double layer was not significant compared with the drain spacing of 5 m. The economic return to growers at reclaimed tidal saline soil was the greatest by the subsurface drainage system with 5 m drain spacing. Our results demonstrated that the installation of subsurface drainage system with drain space of 5 m spacing would be a best management practice to control soil salinity and corn development at Saemangeum reclaimed tidal saline soil.

In meeting the technical needs for deepwater conditions and overcoming the shortfalls of single-layer pipes for deepwater applications, pipe-in-pipe (PIP) systems have been developed. While, for PIP pipelines directly laid on the seabed or with partial embedment, one of the primary service risks is lateral buckling. The critical axial force is a key factor governing the global lateral buckling response that has been paid much more attention. It is influenced by global imperfections, submerged weight, stiffness, pipe-soil interaction characteristics, et al. In this study, Finite Element Models for imperfect PIP systems are established on the basis of 3D beam element and tube-to-tube element in Abaqus. A parameter study was conducted to investigate the effects of these parameters on the critical axial force and post-buckling forms. These parameters include structural parameters such as imperfections, clearance, and bulkhead spacing, pipe/soil interaction parameter, for instance, axial and lateral friction properties between pipeline and seabed, and load parameter submerged weight. Python as a programming language is been used to realize parametric modeling in Abaqus. Some conclusions are obtained which can provide a guide for the design of PIP pipelines.

The present paper studies the stability analysis of the continuously graded CNT-Reinforced Composite (CNTRC) panel stiffened by rings and stringers. The Stiffened Panel (SP) subjected to axial and lateral loads is reinforced by agglomerated CNTs smoothly graded through the thickness. A two-parameter Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka (EMT) model is adopted to derive the effective material moduli of the CNTRC. The stability equations of the CNRTC SP are obtained by means of the adjacent equilibrium criterion. Notwithstanding most available literature in which the stiffener effects were smeared out over the respective stiffener spacing, in the present work, the stiffeners are modeled as Euler-Bernoulli beams. The Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) is employed to discretize the stability equations. A numerical study is performed to investigate the influences of different types of parameters involved on the critical buckling of the SP reinforced by agglomerated CNTs. The results achieved reveal that continuously distributing of CNTs adjacent to the inner and outer panel's surface results in improving the stiffness of the SP and, as a consequence, inclining the critical buckling load. Furthermore, it has been concluded that the decline rate of buckling load intensity factor owing to the increase of the panel angle is significantly more sensible for the smaller values of panel angle.

풋월 비탈면 설계 시 해석시간이 짧고, 간편하여 한계평형법을 주로 이용하였으나, 쟁기형태파괴를 모사하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 2차원 DEM (Distinct Element Method) 해석프로그램인 UDEC을 이용해 수치해석을 수행하여 풋월 비탈면에서 발생되는 쟁기형태파괴에 미치는 영향인자를 분석하였다. 매개변수분석은 암반절리(층면절리, 공액절리, 비탈면의 하단에 위치한 절리)의 구조 및 암반절리상태 등을 변경하여 수행하였으며, 비탈면의 안전율은 강도감소법(Strength Reduction Method)을 이용하여 산정하였다. 수치해석 결과를 통해 쟁기형태파괴는 공액절리(conjugate joint)의 경사각에 주로 의존하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 층리의 한계간격 및 슬래브의 한계길이가 공액절리의 경사각에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 비탈면 보강을 포함한 풋월 비탈면의 최적설계 및 시공에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
