Conventional RC beams for crossing small and medium-sized rivers do not have a cross-sectional area, so the floating debris is accumulated and disasters such as damage to bridges occur. To improve this, the PSC method was invented. However, this also had problems such as transverse curvature, increase in dead weight due to cross-sectional shape, and negative moment generated during serialization, so it was necessary to develop a new type of girder. Therefore, it was intended to propose a LIT(Leton Interaction Thrust) girder bridge that is safer and has better performance than the conventional PSC girder with improved section efficiency. Unlike existing girder bridges, the LIT girder has the feature that the change in the strands of the entire girder occurs only in the vertical direction when the first tension is applied because the tendon arrangement is symmetrical by applying the raised portion. In addition, slab continuation generates a secondary moment that is advantageous to the continuous point, effectively controlling the negative moment and preventing the corrosion of the tendon. The dimensions of the cross section were determined, and the arrangement of the strands was designed to conduct structural analysis and detailed analysis. As a result of the structural analysis, the stress of the girder showed results within the allowable compressive stress, and the deflection showed the result within the allowable deflection. showed results. In addition, a detailed analysis was performed to examine the stress distribution around the girder body and the anchorage area and the stress distribution of the embossed portion, and as a result, the stress of the girder body due to the tension force showed a stable level.

To avoid irregularities in buildings, design codes worldwide have introduced detailed guidelines for their check and rectification. However, the criteria used to define and identify each of the plan and vertical irregularities are specific and may vary between codes of different countries, thus making their implementation difficult. This short communication paper proposes a novel approach for quantifying different types of structural irregularities using a common parameter named as unified identification factor, which is exclusively defined for the columns based on their axial loads and tributary areas. The calculation of the identification factor is demonstrated through the analysis of rectangular and circular reinforced concrete models using ETABS v18.0.2, which are further modified to generate plan irregular (torsional irregularity, cut-out in floor slab and non-parallel lateral force system) and vertical irregular (mass irregularity, vertical geometric irregularity and floating columns) models. The identification factor is calculated for all the columns of a building and the range within which the value lies is identified. The results indicate that the range will be very wide for an irregular building when compared to that with a regular configuration, thus implying a strong correlation of the identification factor with the structural irregularity. Further, the identification factor is compared for different columns within a floor and between floors for each building model. The findings suggest that the value will be abnormally high or low for a column in the vicinity of an irregularity. The proposed factor could thus be used in the preliminary structural design phase, so as to eliminate the complications that might arise due to the geometry of the structure when subjected to lateral loads. The unified approach could also be incorporated in future revisions of codes, as a replacement for the numerous criteria currently used for classifying different types of irregularities.

노후시설물의 지하공간 확장공사 시 공사 중 소음 및 진동 문제 뿐만 아니라 기존 주민의 임시 거주공간 확보가 필요하고, 상업용, 공업용, 사회용 등의 시설물의 경우에는 시설물 이용의 중단에 따른 피해가 예상되므로, 지하증축 공사 중 소음 및 진동을 최소화하여 공사 중에도 기존 시설물의 이용을 가능하게 하는 기술이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가설구조물의 안정성 문제와 공사 중 발생되는 소음진동 문제를 효과적으로 해결하여 지하증축 공사 중 시설물을 이용하면서 진행한 공사현장의 시공단계별 계측결과로 가설구조물과 주변지반의 거동을 분석하여 국내 현실에 적합한 지하증축공사 모델을 제시하였다. 시공 시 발생되는 문제를 해결하기 위해 초기 굴착 후 슬라브 선타설공법을 적용한 현장의 계측결과(건물경사계, 균열측정계, 구조물경사계, 지표침하계)를 확인한 결과 건물경사계와 구조물경사계는 슬라브 선타설후 변위가 감소하거나 수렴하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었으며, 균열측정계와 지표침하계는 관리기준 이내의 안정적인 모습을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과로 볼 때, 지하증축 공사 시 지하층 슬라브를 선타설하는 것은 공사 중 발생하는 소음·진동의 문제를 해결해주는 것 뿐만 아니라 지하증축 공사 시 가설구조물의 안정성을 확보하는데 큰 역할하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
