In this study, vibration characteristics of offshore wind turbine tower (WTT) with gravity-based foundation (GBF) are identified from dynamic responses under wave-induced excitations. The following approaches are implemented to achieve the objective. Firstly, the operational modal analysis methods such as frequency domain decomposition (FDD) and stochastic subspace identification (SSI) are selected to estimate modal parameters from output-only dynamic responses. Secondly, a GBF WTT model composed of superstructure, substructure and foundation is simulated as a case study by using a structural analysis program, MIDAS FEA. Thirdly, wave pressures acting on the WTT structure are established by nonlinear regular waves which are simulated from a computational fluid software, Flow 3D. Wave-induced acceleration responses of the target structure are analyzed by applying the simulated wave pressures to the GBF WTT model. Finally, modal parameters such as natural frequencies and mode shapes are estimated from the output-only acceleration responses and compared with the results from free vibration analysis. The effect of wave height and period on modal parameter extraction is also investigated for the mode identification of the GBF WTT.

고장력 볼트를 적용한 원형단면 콘크리트 충전 강재 기둥-기초 연결부의 합리적인 설계범위를 제안하기 위하여 축하중과 수평하중을 동시에 받는 기둥-기초 연결부의 전반적인 구조적 거동과 설계변수에 따른 거동특성을 상용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 해석적으로 검토하였다. 이를 위해 앵커볼트를 고장력 볼트로 대신하는 선행연구의 실험을 토대로 수치해석을 실시하였으며, 해석방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 현행 설계기준을 분석하여 기둥-기초 연결부 거동에 영향을 미치는 설계변수(앵커의 묻힘깊이, 앵커의 강종, 리브의 높이, 리브의 두께)를 선정하였으며, 설계변수에 따른 기둥-기초 연결부의 거동특성을 비교 분석하였다. 일반 앵커에 비해 고장력 볼트를 적용하는 것이 기둥-기초 연결부의 거동에 유리한 것으로 나타났으며, 고장력 볼트의 최소 묻힘깊이는 기둥 직경(D)을 기준으로 0.5D이상으로 설계하는 것이 합리적이라고 판단된다. 리브의 높이는 0.5D이상, 리브의 두께는 베이스플레이트 두께($t_b$)를 기준으로 $0.4t_b$이상으로 설계하는 것이 합리적이라고 판단된다.

Today, many important concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs) have been built on the world, and some of these important structures are located on the strong seismic regions. In this reason, examination and monitoring of these water construction's seismic behaviour is very important for the safety and future of these dams. In this study, the nonlinear seismic behaviour of Ilısu CFR dam which was built in Turkey in 2017, is investigated for various reservoir water heights taking into account 1995 Kobe near-fault and far-fault ground motions. Three dimensional (3D) finite difference model of the dam is created using the FLAC3D software that is based on the finite difference method. The most suitable mesh range for the 3D model is chosen to achieve the realistic numerical results. Mohr-Coulomb nonlinear material model is used for the rockfill materials and foundation in the seismic analyses. Moreover, Drucker-Prager nonlinear material model is considered for the concrete slab to represent the nonlinearity of the concrete. The dam body, foundation and concrete slab constantly interact during the lifetime of the CFRDs. Therefore, the special interface elements are defined between the dam body-concrete slab and dam body-foundation due to represent the interaction condition in the 3D model. Free field boundary condition that was used rarely for the nonlinear seismic analyses, is considered for the lateral boundaries of the model. In addition, quiet artificial boundary condition that is special boundary condition for the rigid foundation in the earthquake analyses, is used for the bottom of the foundation. The hysteric damping coefficients are separately calculated for all of the materials. These special damping values is defined to the FLAC3D software using the special fish functions to capture the effects of the variation of the modulus and damping ratio with the dynamic shear-strain magnitude. Total 4 different reservoir water heights are taken into account in the seismic analyses. These water heights are empty reservoir, 50 m, 100 m and 130 m (full reservoir), respectively. In the nonlinear seismic analyses, near-fault and far-fault ground motions of 1995 Kobe earthquake are used. According to the numerical analyses, horizontal displacements, vertical displacements and principal stresses for 4 various reservoir water heights are evaluated in detail. Moreover, these results are compared for the near-fault and far-faults earthquakes. The nonlinear seismic analysis results indicate that as the reservoir height increases, the nonlinear seismic behaviour of the dam clearly changes. Each water height has different seismic effects on the earthquake behaviour of Ilısu CFR dam. In addition, it is obviously seen that near-fault earthquakes and far field earthquakes create different nonlinear seismic damages on the nonlinear earthquake behaviour of the dam.

This study presents the effects of geometrical dimensions of concrete gravity dams on the seismic response considering different base width/dam height (L/H) ratios. In the study, a concrete gravity dam with the height of 200 m is selected and finite element models of the dam are constituted including five different L/H ratios such as 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25. All dams are modeled in ANSYS software considering dam-reservoir-foundation interaction. 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake records are applied to models in upstream-downstream direction and linear time history analyses are performed. Dynamic equilibrium equations of motions obtained from the finite element models of the coupled systems are solved by using Newmark time integration algorithm. The seismic response of the models is evaluated from analyses presenting natural frequencies, mode shapes, displacements and principal stresses. The results show that the L/H ratios considerably affect the seismic response of gravity dams. Also, the model where L/H ratio is 1.00 has more desirable results and most appropriate representation of the seismic response of gravity dams.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the coupled effect of SSI and pounding on dynamic responses of unequal height adjacent buildings with insufficiently separation distance subjected to seismic loading. Numerical investigations were conducted to evaluate effect of the pounding coupling SSI on a Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure system constructed on different soil fields. Adjacent buildings with unequal height, including a 9-storey and a 3-storey reinforced concrete structure, were considered in numerical studies. Pounding force response, time-history and root-mean-square (RMS) of displacement and acceleration with different types of soil and separations were presented. The numerical results indicate that insufficient separation could lead to collisions and generate severe pounding force which could result in acceleration and displacement amplifications. SSI has significant influence of the seismic response of the structures, and higher pounding force were induced by floors with stiffer soil. SSI is reasonable neglected for a structure with a dense soil foundation, whereas SSI should be taken into consideration for dynamic analysis, especially for soft soil base.

A comparison between the body types of Korean and Mongolian women was made and analyzed to provide a foundation for securing the Mongolian fashion market. 404 adults within the 18 to 24 age group were studied. From the results of comparing 27 items of direct anthropometric measurements, 15 items were shown to have significant differences. Mongolian women were larger in values for 13 items than were Korean women except two items, which are back waist length and arm length. From the results of comparing 25 items of index values, 19 items were shown to have significant differences. The comparison of the anatomical proportions showed that the lower half of Mongolian women's bodies were longer and their shoulder and hips were wider than those of Korean women. Based on these direct anthropometric measurements and index values, Korean and Mongolian women were categorized into 4 Types; Type 1 is average body type with tall height and longer lower half of the body. Type 2 is slimmer body type with average height. Type 3 is average body type with shorter height. Lastly, type 4 is obese body type with average height.

Tower crane is a large construction equipment which is extremely tall for its section when it is erected, with its high slenderness ratio, and it has a heavy load by itself due to large lifting stuff to handle. In line with the construction projects in these days which increasingly tend to become higher, larger and complex, the stuff and height subject to lifting are also getting larger and higher, which has also increased the risk of disastrous accidents. A stable foundation design thus to deal with the increasing self load becomes more important. When a typhoon Maemi swept the nation in 2003, as many as 43 tower cranes fell down or collapsed, causing a severe damage to the people and the properties. Considering such fatal damages, a technical evaluation of the stability to prevent the safety accident with the tower crane must be very crucial. Tower cranes operation in domestic construction sites, in fact, have been simply dependent on personal experience and intuition of the engineers. Particularly when it comes to the foundation design, it mostly depends on manufacturer's recommendation. The study hence was intended to develop the fundamental measures for granting the objective stability, instead of following the individual's experience only. The simulation model recommended in the study is expected to make a good commitment to achieving an effective lifting work as well as preventing the safety accident.

높이가 5m와 10m인 사면부와 사면하부지반으로 이루어진 지반조건에 대하여 여러 가지 강도정수를 갖는 사면하부지반을 가정하고 안정해석을 수행한 결과 사면하부 끝단에 억지말뚝을 설치할 수 있는 사면하부지반의 강도정수의 범위를 얻을 수 있었고 표로써 제시하였다. 사면높이가 5m인 경우 사면하부지반의 점착력이 10kPa일 때 내부마찰각은 $15^{\circ}$인 경우까지 억지말뚝의 설치가 가능하며 점착력이 20kPa와 25kPa인 경우 내부마찰각이 $0^{\circ}$일 때만 억지말뚝의 설치가 가능하였다. 사면높이가 10m인 경우 사면하부지반의 점착력이 10kPa일 때 내부마찰각은 $20^{\circ}$인 경우까지 억지말뚝의 설치가 가능하며 점착력이 40kPa, 45kPa 그리고 50kPa인 경우에는 내부마찰각이 $0^{\circ}$인 경우만 억지말뚝의 설치가 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 가정한 사면에 적용한 억지말뚝에 대한 해석결과에 따르면 억지말뚝의 길이와 최대 휨모멘트의 크기는 내부마찰각의 존재여부에 큰 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 사면하부지반의 내부마찰각이 $0^{\circ}$인 경우 필요한 억지말뚝의 길이 $D_s$와 d는 각각 내부마찰각이 $5^{\circ}$인 경우에 비해 4.6배와 8.0배 컸다. 사면하부지반의 내부마찰각이 $0^{\circ}$인 경우 억지말뚝에 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트는 내부마찰각이 $5^{\circ}$인 경우에 비해 24.6배 컸다. 억지말뚝을 적용한 사면하부지반의 내부마찰각이 $0^{\circ}$인 경우 억지말뚝의 길이 및 억지말뚝에 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트의 크기가 상당히 커서 억지말뚝의 적용을 어렵게 함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 볼 때 비배수상태에 있는 포화점토지반상에 성토를 하는 경우에는 압밀이 발생하는 시간적 여유를 갖도록 완속 성토함으로써 억지말뚝의 길이와 발생 최대 휨모멘트를 대폭적으로 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
