본 논문에서는 지진 시 작용하는 반복적 하중에 의하여 발생하는 잔류 과잉간극수압 예측에 필요한 반복저항응력비(CRR)와 재하횟수 N 간의 관계를 나타내는 액상화 저항 곡선을 반복단순전단시험과 문헌조사를 통하여 도출하였다. CRR과 N 자료는 두 가지 모델을 이용하여 최적 곡선을 계산하였으며 계측된 자료와 비교한 결과, 이중 한 가지 모델은 CRR이 다소 작게 산정되어 정확도가 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 다양한 액상화 저항 곡선을 살펴본 결과, 반복저항응력비(CRR)는 재하횟수 N = 15에서의 CRR($CRR_{N=15}$)로 정규화할 경우, 분산이 크게 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 정규화가 특별히 유용한 이유는 $CRR_{N=15}$은 실내시험이 아니라 현장시험으로부터 쉽게 산정 가능하기 때문이다. 정규화를 통하여 평균과 상한 및 하한 곡선을 도출하였으며, 각각에 상응하는 설계식과 변수 또한 제시하였다. 제안된 곡선은 추후 부지 고유의 지반응답해석과 항만 구조물의 안정성 평가 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Prediction of soil behavior should be interpreted based on the level of axial strain in the actual ground. Recently numerical methods have been carried out focus on the state of soil failure. However considered the deformation of soil the prior to failure, mostly the small strain occurring in the elastic range is considered. As a result of calculating the deformation modulus to 50% of the maximum unconfined compression strength, Deformation modulus (E50) showed a tendency to increase according to the degree of compaction by region. The Poisson's ratio during loading-unloading was 0.63, which was higher than the literature value of 0.5. For the unconfined compression test under cyclic loading for the measurement of permanent strain, the maximum compression strength was divided into four step and the test was performed by load step. Changes in permanent strain and deformation modulus were checked by the loading-unloading test for each stage. At 90% compaction, the permanent deformation of the SM sample was 0.21 mm, 0.37 mm, 0.6 mm, and 1.35 mm. The SC samples were 0.1 mm, 0.17 mm, 0.42 mm, and 1.66 mm, and the ML samples were 0.48 mm, 0.95 mm, 1.30 mm, and 1.68 mm.

모래다짐말뚝(SCP)는 연약지반 내에 다짐에 의해 형성된 모래말뚝을 조성하여 지반 개량효과를 극대화하는 공법이다. 점성토 지반에서는 압밀촉진 및 배수 효과, 느슨한 모래지반에서는 다짐 등을 통해 액상화 대책공법으로 주로 사용되고 있다. SCP의 설계에 있어 강성이 큰 SCP 본체 부분도 함께 고려하지 않으면 과도하게 안전을 고려한 설계가 되며 시공비용이 늘어나 경제적으로도 불리할 가능성이 매우 높다. SCP 타설에 의한 지반 내의 응력상태의 변화나 다짐 메커니즘에 대해서는 지금까지의 연구 결과에 의해 어느 정도 구명되었으나, SCP와 원지반을 복합지반으로 고려한 연구는 사례가 적어 충분히 설명될 만큼 연구 성과를 얻지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SCP 개량지반을 SCP와 원지반으로 구성된 복합지반으로 취급하였으며, SCP 타설에 의한 응력상태나 밀도변화를 모사한 요소시험(CID test)을 수행하여 SCP 시공에 따른 원지반의 응력상태의 변화를 $K_0$와 SCP 치환율의 관계를 통해 고찰하였다. 동시에 반복삼축압축 시험장치를 이용하여 SCP의 시공과정을 실내에서 재현할 수 있는지에 대해도 검토하였다. 시험결과 SCP 시공 초기 원지반의 응력상태의 변화가 가장 크게 발생하고 있으며, 특정 시점 이후에는 SCP 시공을 위한 진동이 지반의 응력특성 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하고 있었다. 또한 SCP에 의한 원지반의 거동을 실내에서 재현하기 위해서는 케이싱 진동에 해당하는 반복재하를 실시하는 것이 반드시 필요하다고 판단된다.

A finite element analysis (FEA) model is established to investigate the concrete-encased concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column to reinforced concrete (RC) beam joints under cyclic loading. The feasibility of the FEA model is verified by a set of test results, consisting of the failure modes, the exposed view of connections, the crack distributions and development, and the hysteretic relationships. The full-range analysis is conducted to investigate the stress and strain development process in the composite joint by using this FEA model. The internal force distributions of different components, as well as the deformation distributions, are analyzed under different failure modes. The proposed connections are investigated under dimensional and material parameters, and the proper constructional details of the connections are recommended. Parameters of the beam-column joints, including material strength, confinement factor, reinforcement ratio, diameter of steel tube to sectional width ratio, beam to column linear bending stiffness ratio and beam shear span ratio are evaluated. Furthermore, the key parameters affecting the failure modes and the corresponding parameters ranges are proposed in this paper.

In this paper, rotating bending fatigue tests have been carried out to investigate the growth behabiors of surface fatigue crack initiated from a small artificial surface defect, that might exist in real structures, on 2024-T3 and 6:4 brass. The test results are analysed in the viewpoints of both strength of materials and fracture mechanics, it can be concluded as follows. The effect of a small artificial surface defect upon the fatigue strength is very large. The sensitivity of 2024-T3 on the defect is higher than that of 6:4 brass. The growth behavior of the surface fatigue crack of 2024-T3 is different from that of 6:4 brass. The growth rate of the surface fatigue crack of 2024-T3 is considerably rapid in the early stage of the fatigue life and apt to decrease in the later stage. It was impossible to establish a unifying approach in the analysis of crack growth begabior of 2024-T3 and 6:4 brass using the maximum stress intensity factor because of their dependence on stress level. But if the elastic strain and cyclic total strain intensity factor range were applied to obtain the growth rate of surface fatigue cracks of the materials, the data were found to be nearly coincided.

Micromechanical facture models can be used to predict ductile fracture in steel structures. In order to calibrate the parameters in the micromechanical models for the largely used Q345 steel in China, uniaxial tensile tests, smooth notched tensile tests, cyclic notched bar tests, scanning electron microscope tests and finite element analyses were conducted in this paper. The test specimens were made from base metal, deposit metal and heat affected zone of Q345 steel to investigate crack initiation in welded steel connections. The calibrated parameters for the three different locations of Q345 steel were compared with that of the other seven varieties of structural steels. It indicates that the toughness index parameters in the stress modified critical strain (SMCS) model and the void growth model (VGM) are connected with ductility of the material but have no correlation with the yield strength, ultimate strength or the ratio of ultimate strength to yield strength. While the damage degraded parameters in the degraded significant plastic strain (DSPS) model and the cyclic void growth model (CVGM) and the characteristic length parameter are irrelevant with any properties of the material. The results of this paper can be applied to predict ductile fracture in welded steel connections.

In this study, Liquefaction characteristics of saturated sand under various dynamic loadings such as sinusoidal loading, increasing wedge loading, and real earthquake loading were investigated focusing on the dissipated energy. From the results of cyclic triaxial test, liquefaction resistance strength was calculated by the concept of energy according to the type of input loading. Liquefaction resistance strength was expressed in accumulated dissipated energy calculated from stress-strain curve(hysteresis loop). The dissipated energy according to loading type was compared and the energy-based evaluation was proposed. The procedures are presented in terms of normalized energy demand(NED), normalized energy capacity(NEC), and factor of safely, where NED is the load imparted to the soil by the loading(both amplitude and duration), NEC is the demand required to induce liquefaction, and factor of safely is defined as the ratio of NEC and NED.

The strength and stiffness of the steel beams to concrete-filled tubular columns connections are significantly reduced if the thick-walled components are used. However, the thick-walled tubes used for columns can largely reduce the demand for space and increase the strength-to-weight ratio. This paper describes the cyclic performance of extended through-diaphragm connections between steel beams and thick-walled concrete-filled tubular columns improved with fillets around the diaphragm corners. Test on one full-scale connection was conducted to assess the seismic behavior of the connection in terms of strength, stiffness, ductility, deformation, energy dissipation, and strain distribution. It is shown that the fillets and extended through-diaphragm can alleviate the stress concentration in the connection and thus improve the seismic performance. The test results demonstrate that the through-diaphragm connections with thick-walled concrete-filled tubular columns can offer sufficient energy dissipation capacity and ductility appropriate for its potential application in seismic design.

철도교량은 무거운 축하중이 작용하여 구조부재의 전체 강도에서 활하중이 차지하는 비율이 높기 때문에 피로에 의한 손상이 클 뿐만 아니라 계속적으로 변화하는 하중환경에 의해 피로손상이 빠르게 진행될 가능성이 있으므로 이에 대한 안전성을 체계적이고 분석적으로 평가할 수 있는 방법이 요구된다. 철도교량에서 구조부재별 피로균열의 생성위치 및 성장속도는 발생응력의 범위와 횟수, 구조시스템의 강성에 관련되어 있다. 구조시스템의 강성은 계획주체, 설계자, 시공자, 유지관리주체 각각의 특성과 불확실성을 포함하고 있으며, 시간의존적 하중과 저항의 특성에 의해서 추계학적으로 변화하게 된다. 그러므로 이러한 하중 및 저항에서의 각각의 불확실성을 정량적이고 객관적으로 표현할 수 있는 신뢰성에 기초한 평가기법을 개발하였다. 철도 및 지하철교량 등의 피로파괴에 대한 확률론적 평가를 위하여 응답면 기법(Response Surface Method, RSM)과 일계이차 모멘트 기법(First Order Second Moment method, FOSM)을 사용하여 피로균열진전과 잔존수명을 평가하였다. 응력변동 범위를 설계변수로 변화시키면서, 중요한 설계입력 변수로 한계상태 방정식을 구성하고 다양한 피로 수명(100년, 75년 등)후의 파괴확률을 예측하여 설계피로수명에 대한 신뢰성 지수계산 및 발생확률을 분석사례로 제시하였다.

Myoblast are myogenic precursors that proliferate, activate, and differentiate on muscle injury to sustain the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle; The neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS, termed also NOS-I) is expressed in normal adult skeletal muscle, suggesting important functions for Nitric oxide (NO) in muscle biology1,2,3. However, the expression and subcellular localization of NO in muscle development and myoblast differentiation are largely unknown. In this study, we examined effects of the nitric oxide generated by a microwave plasma torch, on proliferation/differentiation of rat myoblastic L6 cells. Experimental data pertaining to nitric oxide production are presented in terms of the oxygen input in units of cubic centimetres per minute. The various levels of nitric oxide are observed depending on the flow rate of nitrogen gas, the ratio of oxygen gas, and the microwave power4. In order to evaluate the potential of nitric oxide as an activator of cell differentiation, we applied nitric oxide generated from the microwave plasma torch to L6 skeletal muscles. Differentiation of L6 cells into myotubes was significantly enhanced the differentiation after nitric oxide treatment. Nitric oxide treatment also increase the expression of myogenesis marker proteins and mRNA level, such as myogenin and myosin heavy chain (MHC), as well as cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), However during the myotube differentiation we found that NO activate oxidative stress signaling erks expression. Therefore, these results establish a role of NO and cGMP in regulating myoblast differentiation and elucidate their mechanism of action, providing a direct link with oxidative stress signalling, which is a key player in myogenesis. Based on these findings, nitric oxide generated by plasma can be used as a possible activator of cell differentiation and tissue regeneration.
