The differential settlements and rotations among footings cannot be avoided when the frame-footing-soil system is subjected to seismic/dynamic loading. Also, there may be a situation where column(s) of a building are located near adjoining property line causes eccentric loading on foundation system. The strap beams may be provided to control the rotation of the footings within permissible limits caused due to such eccentric loading. In the present work, the seismic interaction analysis of a three-bay three-storey, space frame-footing-strap beam-soil system is carried out to investigate the interaction behavior using finite element software (ANSYS). The RCC structure and their foundation are assumed to behave in linear manner while the supporting soil mass is treated as nonlinear elastic material. The seismic interaction analyses of space frame-isolated footing-soil and space frame-strap footing-soil systems are carried out to evaluate the forces in the columns. The results indicate that the bending moments of very high magnitude are induced at column bases resting on eccentric footing of frame-isolated footing-soil interaction system. However, use of strap beams controls these moments quite effectively. The soil-structure interaction effect causes significant redistribution of column forces compared to non-interaction analysis. The axial forces in the columns are distributed more uniformly when the interaction effects are considered in the analysis.

공공발주기관의 동절기 공사불능기간의 운영은 공사기간을 길게 하고, 건설사업비를 증가시킨다 또한, 건설인력의 활용을 어렵게 하여 근로소득을 감소시킴으로써 국가 경제에도 나쁜 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 동절기에도 골조공사는 시행되어야 할 것이다. 그러나 동절기에 골조공사만 시행하고 마감공사를 시행하지 않을 경우, 골조공사의 빠른 진척이 마감공사의 주공정선에 영향을 미치게 됨으로 이에 대한 규명이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 동절기 골조공사 시행이 마감공사의 주공정선의 작업기간에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 이를 위해 가상현장을 설정한 후, 이 현장을 대상으로 마감공사의 공정표와 주공정선, 전체 공정표 및 주공정선을 작성하고, 공정시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과는 동절기 골조공사 시행 시 아파트 공사의 공기산정에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

이 연구는 산업현장에서 구조물의 용접부 검사를 디지털 방사선을 이용한 비파괴검사를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있도록 디지털 방사선의 밝기 교정과 중첩 영상에 따른 신호 대 잡음 비와 기본 공간 분해능을 비교분석 하였다. 평판형 용접 시험편을 대상으로 ⁷⁵Se 방사선원을 사용하였고 촬영 전 밝기 교정과 영상 중첩을 세분화하여 총 130장의 영상을 획득하였다. 연구 결과, 밝기 교정의 수와 영상 중첩의 수가 증가할수록 신호 대 잡음 비가 향상됨을 확인하였다. 기본 공간 분해능은 촬영된 영상 모두 기준치를 만족하였다. 산란 방사선을 대비한 납 차폐를 설치 후 촬영한 영상을 비교하여 신호 대 잡음 비가 비슷함을 확인하였다. 영상 중첩이 증가할수록 신호 대 잡음 비가 증가하지만, 방사선의 노출시간이 증가하면서 작업자의 피폭 및 작업 효율에 영향을 미치기 때문에 적절한 촬영기법을 강구 한다면 좋은 상질의 디지털 방사선 영상을 획득 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, the effects of crack depth and crack location on the in-plane free vibration of cracked frame structures have been investigated numerically by using the Finite Element Method. For the rectangular cross-section beam, a crack element is developed by using the principles of fracture mechanics. The effects of crack depth and location on the natural frequency of multi-bay and multi-store frame structures are presented in 3D graphs. The comparison between the present work and the results obtained from ANSYS shows a very good agreement.

This paper describes new optimization strategy that offers significant improvements in performance over existing methods for geometry design of frame structures. In this study, an imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) and ant colony optimization (ACO) are combined to reach to an efficient algorithm, called Imperialist Competitive Ant Colony Optimization (ICACO). The ICACO applies the ICA for global optimization and the ACO for local search. The results of optimal geometry for three benchmark examples of frame structures, demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the new method presented in this work. The results indicate that the new technique has a powerful search strategies due to the modifications made in search module of ICACO. Higher rate of convergence is the superiority of the presented algorithm in comparison with the conventional mathematical methods and non hybrid heuristic methods such as ICA and particle swarm optimization (PSO).

In this study, the three different meta-heuristics namely the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Stochastic Fractal Search (SFS), and Adaptive Differential Evolution with Optional External Archive (JADE) algorithms are examined. This study considers optimization of the planer frame to minimize its weight subjected to the strength and displacement constraints as per the American Institute of Steel and Construction - Load and Resistance Factor Design (AISC-LRFD). The GWO algorithm is associated with grey wolves' activities in the social hierarchy. The SFS algorithm works on the natural phenomenon of growth. JADE on the other hand is a powerful self-adaptive version of a differential evolution algorithm. A one-bay ten-story planar steel frame problem is examined in the present work to investigate the design ability of the proposed algorithms. The frame design is produced by optimizing the W-shaped cross sections of beam and column members as per AISC-LRFD standard steel sections. The results of the algorithms are compared. In addition, these results are also mapped with other state-of-art algorithms.

장면 연출에 있어서 애니메이션은 작가의 시각이 미리 앵글의 설정구도를 각 프레임별로 기획하여 의도된 움직임으로 연출한다. 장면에 등장하는 인물들은 작가의 의도된 움직임을 가장 충실히 구현해내는 요소이며 이들의 ‘동태(動態)’는 해당 작품을 이해하는데 있어 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. ‘원령공주’에 나타나는 등장인물들 간의 심리적 대립 구조를 중심으로 등장인물의 움직임에 대한 ‘동태’를 분석함으로써 그 특징을 연구해 보고자 한다.

The application of video processing techniques are useful for the safety of nuclear power plants by tracking the people online on video to estimate the dose received by staff during work in nuclear plants. Nuclear reactors remotely visually controlled to evaluate the plant's condition using video processing techniques. Internal reactor components should be frequently inspected but in current scenario however involves human technicians, who review inspection videos and identify the costly, time-consuming and subjective cracks on metallic surfaces of underwater components. In case, if any frame of the inspection video degraded/corrupted/missed due to noise or any other factor, then it may cause serious safety issue. The problem of missing/degraded/corrupted video frame estimation is a challenging problem till date. In this paper a systematic literature review on video processing techniques is carried out, to perform their suitability analysis for NPP applications. The limitation of existing approaches are also identified along with a roadmap to overcome these limitations.

Reinforced concrete frames with a masonry infill panel is a structural typology frequently used worldwide. In seismic cases, the interaction between the masonry infill and the RC frames constitutes one of the most complex subjects in earthquake engineering. In this work, an enhancement of an existing numerical model is proposed to improve the estimation of lateral strength and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predict their probable failure modes. The proposed improvement is based on attributing corrective coefficients to the shear strength of each diagonal shear spring of the macro element, which simulates the masonry infill. The improved numerical model is validated by comparing the results with those of the original numerical model and with experimental results available in the literature. The enhanced macro element model can be used as a powerful, accessible tool for assessing the capacity and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predicting their probable failure modes.

This work addresses the optimization controller design problem combining the AI evolution bat (EB) optimization algorithm with a fuzzy controller in the practical application of a reinforced concrete frame structure. This article explores the use of an intelligent EB strategy to reduce the dynamic response of Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) composite reinforced concrete frame structures. Recently developed control units for plant structures, such as hybrid systems and semi-active systems, have inherently non-linear properties. Therefore, it is necessary to develop non-linear control methods. Based on the relaxation method, the nonlinear structural system can be stabilized by properly adjusting the parameters. Therefore, the behavior of a closed-loop system can be accurately predicted by determining the behavior of a closed-loop system. The performance and durability of the proposed control method are demonstrated by numerical simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed method is a viable and feasible control strategy for seismically tuned composite reinforced concrete frame structures.
