본 연구에서는 기초 지지층의 응력-침하특성을 평가하기 위해 변형률 범위가 다른 두 가지 강성측정 시험법으로 산정한 탄성계수를 비교하였다. 미소변형률 범위의 흙강성측정기(SSG)와 중변형률 범위의 평판재하시험(PLT)이 탄성계수 산정에 이용되었다. 변형률 범위가 다른 시험방법으로 구한 탄성계수를 기초설계 및 시공실무에 적용하기 위해서는 각각의 값에 대한 상관관계가 사전에 파악되어야 한다. 국내의 대표적인 지지층인 풍화토 및 풍화암에서 두 가지 방법에 의한 탄성계수를 비교·분석한 결과에 따르면, 지반의 종류 및 응력조건에 따라 탄성계수가 상이하게 평가되는 것으로 나타났다. 다양한 조건의 지반에 대해 평판재하시험으로 산정한 정적 탄성계수는 흙강성측정기로 측정한 동적 탄성계수와 비교할 때, 시험의 변형률 수준 차이로 인해 56% 감소된 결과를 나타냈다. 따라서, 평판재하 시험을 대체하여 흙강성측정기를 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서는 지반강성에 따른 응력분포, 응력수준, 동적효과에 대한 영향을 보정하여 측정값을 적용할 필요가 있다.

기존의 설계방식 및 유한요소법에 의해 모델링된 해상풍력 기초의 거동특성을 비교하였고, 확률론적 측면에서 기초형식에 따른 해석사례를 비교 분석하였다. 동일한 수심 및 지반조건에서 동일한 형식의 기초를 설계할 경우 가정모델에 따른 거동양상을 비교한 결과 지반의 강성을 고려하는 가상고정식과 분포 스프링식은 부재력에 차이가 크지 않은 반면, 이를 고려하지 않는 지반고정식은 상대적으로 부재력이 작게 산정됨으로써 보다 불안정한 설계를 유도하는 경향이 있었다. 다시 말해 기초와 지반의 상호관계는 해석결과에 크게 영향을 미치므로 지반의 강성을 고려함이 합리적이다. p-y 방법과 FEM 모델을 이용하여 각각 동일한 모노파일을 해석한 결과 상 하부에서 상당한 오차가 발생하였고, 특히 직경이 큰 경우에 파일 하부에서의 오차가 크게 나타남으로써 5m 이상의 대구경 모노파일 설계 시는 FEM 등 정밀해석이 병행되어야 하며, 해저지반 특성의 면밀한 고려와 공학적 판단이 필요하다. 트라이포드 및 모노파일 형식의 기초를 동일한 수심 및 지반조건에 대하여 신뢰성을 해석한 결과 트라이포드 형식의 파괴확률이 매우 작게 산정되었고, 모노파일 형식은 파괴확률이 비교적 크게 산정되어 안전도가 낮게 평가될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

When the centers of mass and stiffness of a building do not coincide, the structure experiences torsional responses. Such systems can consist of the underlying soil and the super-structure. The underlying soil may modify the earthquake input motion and change structural responses. Specific effects of the input motion shall also not be ignored. In this study, seismic demands of asymmetric buildings considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) under near-fault ground motions are evaluated. The building is modeled as an idealized single-story structure. The soil beneath the building is modeled by non-linear finite elements in the two states of loose and dense sands both compared with the fixed-base state. The infinite boundary conditions are modelled using viscous boundary elements. The effects of traditional and yield displacement-based (YDB) approaches of strength and stiffness distributions are considered on seismic demands. In the YDB approach, the stiffness considered in seismic design depends on the strength. The results show that the decrease in the base shear considering soft soil induced SSI when the YDB approach is assumed results only in the center of rigidity to control torsional responses. However, for fixed-base structures and those on dense soils both centers of strength and rigidity are controlling.

A computationally efficient stiffness design method for building structures is proposed in which dynamic soil-structure interaction based on the wave-propagation theory is taken into account. A sway-rocking shear building model with appropriate ground impedances derived from the cone models due to Meek and Wolf (1994) is used as a simplified design model. Two representative models, i.e. a structure on a homogeneous half-space ground and a structure on a soil layer on rigid rock, are considered. Super-structure stiffness satisfying a desired stiffness performance condition are determined via an inverse problem formulation for a prescribed ground-surface response spectrum. It is shown through a simple yet reasonably accurate model that the ground conditions, e.g. homogeneous half-space or soil layer on rigid rock (frequency-dependence of impedance functions), ground properties (shear wave velocity), depth of surface ground, have extensive influence on the super-structure design.

Most of the naval shipboard equipments strongly require isolation devices to keep their performance and durability from severe noise and vibration loading. The rubber mount is well-known as one of most effective way to isolate major equipments from noise and vibration. The performance of the rubber mount is determined by characteristics of shock stiffness and vibration stiffness and the frequency range of interest is up to several Kilo Hz in navy vessels. In this study, an vibration experiment method for the rubber mount has been developed as a foundation work for assessing dynamic stiffness up to high frequency. Also experiments for a typical rubber mount has been carried out and the results has been discussed.

Earthquake load to design a structure has been calculated from a fixed base SDOF model using amplified surface accelerations along soft soil layers. But the method dose not consider a soil-structure interaction. Centrifugal experiments that were consisted of soil, a shallow foundation and a structure were performed to find the effects of soil-structure interaction. The experiments showed that mass and stiffness of the foundation affected a response of the structure and nonlinear behavior of soil near the foundation. And a rocking displacement caused by overturning moment affected the response and increases a damping effect. In this study, the centrifugal experiment was simulated as a two dimensional finite element model. The finite element model was used for nonlinear time domain analysis of the OpenSees program. The numerical model accurately evaluated the behaviors of soil and the foundation, but the rocking effect and the behavior of structure were not described.

In typical, structural topology optimization plays a significant role to both increase stiffness and save mass of structures in the resulting design. This study contributes to a new numerical approach of topologically optimal design of Mindlin-Reissner plates considering Winkler foundation and mathematical formulations of multi-directional variable thickness of the plate by using multi-materials. While achieving optimal multi-material topologies of the plate with multi-directional variable thickness, the weight information of structures in terms of effective utilization of the material at the appropriate thickness location may be provided for engineers and designers of structures. Besides, numerical techniques of the well-established mixed interpolation of tensorial components 4 element (MITC4) is utilized to overcome a well-known shear locking problem occurring to thin plate models. The well-founded mathematical formulation of topology optimization problem with variable thickness Mindlin-Reissner plate structures by using multiple materials is derived in detail as one of main achievements of this article. Numerical examples verify that variable thickness Mindlin-Reissner plates on Winkler foundation have a significant effect on topologically optimal multi-material design results.

A semi-analytical method is developed to consider free vibrations of a functionally graded elastic plate resting on Winkler elastic foundation and in contact with a quiescent fluid. Material properties are assumed to be graded distribution along the thickness direction according to a power-law in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The fluid is considered to be incompressible and inviscid. In the analysis, the effect of an in-plane force in the plate due to the weight of the fluid is taken into account. By satisfying the compatibility conditions along the interface of fluid and plate, the fluid-structure interaction is taken into account and natural frequencies and mode shapes of the coupled system are acquired by employing energy methods. The results obtained from the present approach are verified by those from a finite element analysis. Besides, the effects of volume fractions of functionally graded materials, Winkler foundation stiffness and in-plane forces on the dynamic of plate are elucidated.

The effect of porosity on bending and free vibration behavior of simply supported functionally graded plate reposed on the Winkler-Pasternak foundation is investigated analytically in the present paper. The modified rule of mixture covering porosity phases is used to describe and approximate material properties of the FGM plates with porosity phases. The effect due to transverse shear is included by using a new refined shear deformation theory. The number of unknown functions involved in the present theory is only four as against five or more in case of other shear deformation theories. The Poisson ratio is held constant. Based on the sinusoidal shear deformation theory, the position of neutral surface is determined and the equation of motion for FG rectangular plates resting on elastic foundation based on neutral surface is obtained through the minimum total potential energy and Hamilton's principle. The convergence of the method is demonstrated and to validate the results, comparisons are made with the available solutions for both isotropic and functionally graded material (FGM). The effect of porosity volume fraction on Al/Al2O3 and Ti-6Al-4V/Aluminum oxide plates are presented in graphical forms. The roles played by the constituent volume fraction index, the foundation stiffness parameters and the geometry of the plate is also studied.
