In this study, wind loads transmitted to a transmission tower from transmission lines are mitigated using rotational viscoelastic dampers. First, the wind load characteristics in a transmission tower is investigated considering the effect of the transmission lines through stochastic analysis. The assemblage of the transmission line and insulator are modeled as a double pendulum system connected to the SDOF model of the tower. From the result of the stochastic analysis, the background component of the overturing moment caused by the wind loads acting on the transmission lines are found to have considerable portion in the total overturning moment. Based on this observation result, a strategy Installing rotational viscoelastic damper (VED) between tower arm and transmission line is proposed for the mitigation of the transmission line reactions, which play a role as dynamic loads on a transmission tower. For the purpose of verification, time history analysis is conducted for different wind velocities and VED parameters. The analysis result shows that the rotational VED is effective for the mitigation of the background component rather than the resonance component of the transmission line reactions and achieves the reduction ratio of 50% even for higher wind speed.

Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSPs) have been developed as a practical tool to estimate the seismic demand of structures. Several researches have accomplished to minimize errors of NSPs, namely pushover procedures, in the Nonlinear Time History Analysis (NTHA), as the most exact method. The most important issue in a typical pushover procedure is the pattern and technique of loading which are extracted based on structural dynamic fundamentals. In this paper, the coefficients of modal force combination is focused involving a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm to find the optimum load pattern which results in a response with minimum amount of errors in comparison to the NTHA counterpart. Other parameters of the problem are based on the FEMA recommendations for pushover analysis of building structures. The proposed approach is implemented on a high-rise 20 storey concrete moment resisting frame under three earthquake records. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the studied procedure the results are presented beside other well-known pushover methods such as MPA and the FEMA procedures, and the results show the efficiency of the proposed load patterns.

Knowing the response of buildings to earthquakes is very important in order to ensure that a structure is able to withstand a given level of ground shaking. Thus, nonlinear dynamic earthquake engineering analyses are unavoidable and are preferable procedure in the seismic assessment of buildings. In order to estimate seismic performance on the basis of the hazard at the site where the structure is located, the selection of appropriate seismic input is known to be a critical step while performing this kind of analysis. In this paper, seismic analysis is performed for a four-story reinforced concrete ISPRA frame structure which is designed according to Eurocode 8 (EC8). A total of 90 different earthquake scenarios were selected, 30 for each of three target spectrums, EC8 spectrum, Uniform Hazard Spectrum (UHS), and Conditional Mean Spectrum (CMS). The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the average maximum Inter-story Drift Ratio (IDR) for each target spectrum. Time history analysis for every earthquake record was obtained and, as a result, IDR as the main measure of damage were presented in order to compare with defined performance levels of reinforced concrete bare frames.

In tall constructions, the outriggers are regarded as a structural part capable of effectively resisting lateral loads. This study analyses the efficacy of hybrid outrigger system in high rise RCC building for various structural parameters identified. For variations in α, which is defined as the ratio of the relative flexural stiffness of the core to the axial rigidity of the column, static and dynamic analyses of hybrid outrigger system having a virtual and a conventional outrigger at two distinct levels were conducted in the present study. An investigation on the optimal outrigger position was performed by taking the results from absolute maximum inter storey drift ratio (ISD_max), roof acceleration (acc_roof), roof displacement (disp_roof), and base bending moment under both wind and seismic loads on analytical models having 40, 60 and 80 storeys. An ideal performance index parameter was introduced and was utilized to obtain the optimal position of the hybrid outrigger system considering the combined response of ISD_max, acc_roof, disp_roof and, criteria required for the structure under wind and seismic loads. According to the behavioural study, increasing the column area and outrigger arm length will maximise the performance of the hybrid outrigger system. The analysis results are summarized in a flowchart which provides the optimal positions obtained for each dependent parameter and based on ideal performance index which can be used to make initial suggestions for installing a hybrid outrigger system.

본 논문은 연구개발투자의 지방경제에 대한 효과와 관련한 논문이다. 연구개발투자는 구체적으로 피투자자의 고용증대와 생산성 증대를 통해 지역경제에 기여한다. 투자를 받은 기업과 기관(피투자자)은 증가된 생산성과 매출액, 고용증가로 만족할 수 있다. R&D 차원에서는 중앙정부 R&D 펀드나 기업의 자체투자 등이 해당된다. 혁신은 기업 내에서만 존재하는 것이 아니라 regional innovation도 연구대상이며 연구개발투자가 한 지역에서 중앙정부 펀드건 기업체 자금이건 진행되면 지역 내 연구 인력, 연구기관 등이 작동되고 성과로 지역 내에 특허, 지적 재산권 등이 증가될 것으로 가정할 수 있다. 좀 더 진전된 긍정적인 효과는 지역산업과 내재적인 관계에서 출발한다. 이 연구는 한국의 panel 데이터를 사용하여 연구개발투자의 지방경제에 대한 효과와 관련한 실증분석 사항이다. Lag 종속변수를 가진 Autoregressive 모형을 통해 Dynamic Panel 추정치가 구해졌으며, Da Silva 방법을 사용하여 혼합된 Variance-component moving average error process가 추정되었다. 연구개발투자는 지역의 생산성을 향상시키는 데 매우 중요한 요소이며 효과의 크기는 한국경제 역사에서 기간에 크게 의존한다.

토공사에서 다짐품질관리를 위해 일반적으로 평판재하시험 및 현장밀도시험 등이 실시되며, 다짐확인을 위한 추가 분석이 동반된다. 최근 IoT(Internet of Things) 기반의 디지털 환경이 조성되면서 스마트 다짐품질관리가 가능한 DCPT(Dynamic Cone Penetration Test) 장비가 개발되었고, 이러한 디지털 DCPT 시스템은 실시간 다짐에 대한 위치·시간정보와 작업자의 이력관리가 가능하게 되었다. IoT 기반의 DCPT 시스템은 기존의 다짐품질시험의 시간적·비용적 단점을 개선하고 현장에서 유연하게 적용가능하게 되었으며, 현장다짐 지표인 DPI(Dynamic Cone Penetration Index)의 기록과 저장이 자동화 되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 DCPT 장비를 현장 적용하여, 현장 적용 데이터인 DPI를 통해 다짐강도의 경향을 확인하였다. 그 결과 최종다짐에서 초기다짐의 DPI보다 1.4배 감소하여 지표에서 10~14cm 깊이인 노상 다짐층의 다짐강도 증가를 확인할 수 있었으며, 다짐결과비교를 위한 평판재하시험의 지지력 계수의 경향과 동일하게 최종 다짐시 다짐강도 증가경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 기존 아날로그 DCPT의 경우가 아닌 IoT DCPT장비를 사용하므로 인원 및 시간을 저감한 시험수행이 가능하였으며 측정데이터의 스마트기기 전송을 통해 다짐정보의 실시간 확인이 가능하게 되었다. 이러한 스마트 기능이 추가된 IoT 기반 DCPT장비를 통해 DPI로 실시간 다짐관리 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, DPI에 대한 국내 다짐 재료 및 실내시험조건에 대한 추가연구와 평판재하시험과의 상관성에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어진다면 다짐관리 및 확인 용도로 IoT 기반 DCPT장비가 폭넓게 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

An end beam is one of the most important structural members supporting uncovered freight under in-service loading. In general, it needs to endure over 25 years. However fatigue fracture has occurred at dynamic stress concentration location of the end beam because user's specifications demanded high speed and vehicle manufacturer made the uncovered freight car with comparatively low strength and stiffness. For durability analysis, finite element analysis is performed to evaluate the problem of uncovered freight structure and local strain. The uncovered freight car was operated on actual problematic railroad line to measure dynamic stress versus time history on the critical part from which a crack is initiated often. Rainflow cycle counting method was used to estimate fatigue damage at dangerous area under operating condition. Therefore, this study shows that analytical fatigue life at the end beam can be predicted on the basis of S-N curve and structure analysis and has a fairly good correlation with experimental fatigue life.

Consideration of the panel zone (PZ) deformations in the analysis of steel moment frames (SMFs) has a substantial effect on structural response. One way to include the PZ effect on the structural response is Krawinkler's PZ model, which is one of the best and conventional models. However, modeling of Krawinkler's PZ model has its complexity, and finding an alternative procedure for PZ modeling is of interest. In this study, an efficient model is proposed to simplify Krawinkler's PZ model into an Adjusted Rigid-End Zone (AREZ). In this way, the rigid-end-zone dimensions of the beam and column elements are defined through an appropriate rigid-end-zone factor. The dimensions of this region depend on the PZ stiffness, beam(s) and columns' specifications, and connection joint configuration. Thus, to obtain a relationship for the AREZ model, which yields the dimensions of the rigid-end zone, the story drift of an SMF with Krawinkler's PZ model is equalized with the story drift of the same structure with the AREZ model. Then, the degree of accuracy of the resulting relationship is examined in several connections of generic SMFs. Also, in order to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model in SMFs, several SMFs ranging from 3- to 30-story representing low- to high-rise buildings are examined through linear static and dynamic time history analysis. Furthermore, non-linear dynamic analyses of three SMFs conducted to validate the degree of accuracy of the proposed model in the non-linear analysis of SMFs. Analytical results show that there is considerable conformity between inter-story drift ratio (IDR) results of the SMFs with Krawinkler's PZ model and those of the centerline SMFs with AREZ.

In order to investigate the application of 3D base-seismic isolation system in nuclear power plants (NPPs), comprehensive analysis of constitution and design theory for 3-dimensional combined isolation bearing (3D-CIB) was presented and derived. Four different vertical stiffness of 3D-CIB was designed to isolate the nuclear island (NI) building. This paper aimed at investigating the isolation effectiveness of 3D-CIB through modal analysis and dynamic time-history analysis. Numerical results in terms of dynamic response of 3D-CIB, relative displacement response, acceleration and floor response spectra (FRS) of the superstructure were compared to validate the reliability of 3D-CIB in mitigating seismic response. The results showed that 3D-CIB can significantly attenuate the horizontal acceleration response, and a fair amount of the vertical acceleration response reduction of the upper structure was still observed. 3D-CIB plays a significant role in reducing the horizontal and vertical FRS, the vertical FRS basically do not vary with the floor height. The smaller the vertical stiffness of 3D-CIB is, the better the vertical isolation effectiveness is, whereas, it will increase the displacement and the rocking effect of superstructure. Although the advantage of 3D-CIB is that the vertical stiffness can be flexibly adjusted, it should be designed by properly accounting for the balance between the isolation effectiveness and displacement control including rocking effect. The results of this study can provide the technical basis and guidance for the application of 3D-CIB to engineering structure.
