The present paper investigates the stochastic seismic responses of steel structure systems with Partially Restrained (PR) connections by using Perturbation based Stochastic Finite Element (PSFEM) method. A stiffness matrix formulation of steel systems with PR connections and PSFEM and MCS formulations of structural systems are given. Based on the formulations, a computer program in FORTRAN language has been developed, and stochastic seismic analyses of steel frame and bridge systems have been performed for different types of connections. The connection parameters, material and geometrical properties are assumed to be random variables in the analyses. The Kocaeli earthquake occurred in 1999 is considered as a ground motion. The connection parameters, material and geometrical properties are considered to be random variables. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed SFEM algorithm are validated by comparison with results of Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method.

In this study, Matsuda's formula, which has been used to evaluate the acting load on the concrete pillar in 2-Arch tunnels, is investigated and a load reduction factor $({\alpha})$, which has been estimated from numerical parametric studies, is proposed for a better design of 2-Arch tunnels in the future. Numerical parametric studies show that the concrete pillar is subjected to a stress concentration on the excavation side during the first tunnel driving and when tunnel excavation is completed, the induced stress on the pillar in a poor quality of ground condition is 1.5 to 1.8 times the stress developed during the first tunnel driving. In addition, the numerical studies indicate that the acting load on the pillar is in the range of $14{\sim}83%$ of the load estimated by Matsuda's formula. From these results, a load reduction factor $({\alpha})$ is determined and it would make 2-Arch tunnel design more economically.

In this paper, we consider the development methodology of wireless monitoring system for a distribution transformer. The master/ slave devices are installed in the power distribution feeder and measure the current state of pole or ground transformers. After measuring, the devices send the measurement data to operating room through the wireless network such as RF and CDMA so that the power distribution supervisor can prevent a distribution transformer damaging caused by overloads and imbalance of loads.

This paper investigates the influence of spatial varations of accidental mass eccentricities on the torsional response of inelastic multistorey reinforced concrete buildings. It complements recent studies on the elastic response of structural buildings and extends the investigation into the inelastic range, with the aim of providing guidelines for minimising the torsional response of structural buildings. Four spatial mass eccentricity configurations of common nine story buildings, along with their reversed mass eccentricities subjected to the Erzincan-1992 and Kobe-1995 ground motions were investigated, and the results are discussed in the context of the structural response of the no eccentricity models. It is demonstrated that when the initial linear response is practically translational, it is maintained into the inelastic phase of deformation as long as the strength assignment of the lateral resisting bents is based on a planar static analysis where the applied lateral loads simulate the first mode of vibration of the uncoupled structure.

In the recent day, fatigue life prediction techniques play a major role in the design of components in th ground vehicle industry. Full scale durability testing in the laboratory is an essential of any fatigue life evaluation of components or structure of the automotive vehicle. Component testing is particularly important in today's highly competitive industries where the design to reduce weight and production costs must be balanced with the necessity to avoid expensive service failure. Generally, multi-axis durability testing simulator is used to car교 out the fatigue test. In this paper, the operation software for simultaneously driving 3-axis simulator is developed and the real-time signals of input-output data are displayed in window of PC. Moreover, the displacements and the loads of 3-axis actuators are calibrated separately and the operating characteristics of the actuators are evaluated.

Feathering spindle is one of the critical parts of the rotor system in the Smart Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(SUAV) that it was manufactured with special material, Maraging C300. During the initial ground and tie-down flight tests of the SUAV, surface of the feathering spindle contacting to the needle-roller bearings showed excessive wear and dent due to high vibrating loads transferred from the rotating blades. Gas nitriding process was applied to the bearing contact surface of the feathering spindle to increase surface hardness so as to improve the surface defects. This paper briefly presents the gas nitriding process adopted and the spindle quality improvements including wear and corrosion resistance.

An understanding of the natural frequencies of a beam is virtually a prerequisite to the understanding of its response in forced vibration due to shock, ground acceleration or moving loads. Contrary to the frequencies of the prismatic bars with arbitrary boundary conditions, those of a tapered bar are hard to determine when one employs convevtional neutral equilibrium or energy method. In this paper, finite element method is adopted to determine the fundamental frequencies of the non-symmetrically tapered bars. The bars assume the shapes of straight lines along the axis. The parameters considered in this study are sectional parameter, m,n and taper parameter, $\alpha$ For the structural engineer's convenience, the results by finite element method are expressed by simple algebraic equations, by which first mode frequencies are easily estimated. And they agree fairy well with those by F.E.M in most cases.

Centrifuge model tests were performed to find appropriate equations proposed previously of estimating the bearing capacity of the composite clayey soil reinforced with sand compaction pile. Model tests were carried out with changing the replacement ratio of SCP (20%, 40%, 70%), contents of fine materials (5%, 10%, 15%) and ratio of treated width to loading width (1B, 2B, 3B). Test results about bearing capacity of the composite ground were obtained by performing the surcharge load tests with measurements of applied loads and vertical displacement. Bearing capacities against bulging and shear failures were estimated by the existing equations. As results of comparing the estimated bearing capacity with experimental values the bearing capacities estimated by Greenwood's equation (1970) for bulging failure mode were similar to the test results.

연약지반의 측방유동으로 인한 피해가 예상되는 국내 현장에 성토지지말뚝공법을 적용하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 실제 현장에서 성토지지말뚝이 발휘하는 효과를 규명하기 위한 현장시험이 계획되었다. 본 현장시험은 직경 40.64cm의 강관말뚝을 3본씩 총 4여로 시공하고, 각 열의 줄말뚝은 콘크리트캡보로 연결한 다음 총 8m까지 성토하였다. 현장시험은 총 2회에 걸쳐 수행하였으며, 성토지지말뚝의 하중분담효과를 확인하기 위해 하중계, 토압계, 지중경사계, 그리고 침하판을 이용한 계측을 실시하였다. 또한 계측결과를 제안이론식과 비교분석하였다. 이러한 연구 결과 성토지지말뚝을 시공할 경우 성토지지말뚝 위 성토지반속에 발달하는 지반아치에 의해 대부분의 성토하중이 말뚝으로 전이됨을 확인하였고, 말뚝캡보의 설치 간격이 좁을수록, 그리고 성토고가 높을수록 성토지지말뚝의 하중분담효과가 더 커지게 됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 설계시 성토지지말뚝의 설치범위를 합리적으로 결정하기 위해서는 성토지지말뚝이 성토사면의 사면안정효과에 미치는 영향을 고려해야 함을 알 수 있었으며, 제안이론식이 현장상태의 성토지지말뚝에 합리적으로 적용될 수 있음을 입증하였다.
