Shake table tests were conducted on scaled tunnel model to investigate the mechanism and effect of seismic loadings on horseshoe scaled tunnel model in ground fissure site. Key technical details of the experimental test were set up, including similarity relations, boundary conditions, sensor layout, modelling methods were presented. Synthetic waves and El Centro waves were adopted as the input earthquake waves. Results measured from hanging wall and foot wall were compared and analyzed. It is found that the seismic loadings increased the subsidence of hanging wall and lead to the appearance and propagation of cracks. The values of acceleration, earth pressure and strain were greater in the hanging wall than those in the foot wall. The tunnel exhibited the greatest earth pressure on right and left arches, however, the earth pressure on the crown of arch is the second largest and the inverted arch has the least earth pressure in the same tunnel section. Therefore, the effect of the hanging wall on the seismic performance of metro tunnel in earth fissure ground should be considered in the seismic design.

In this paper, dynamic response of the horizontal nanofiber reinforced polymer (NFRP) strengthened concrete beam subjected to seismic ground excitation is investigated. The concrete beam is modeled using hyperbolic shear deformation beam theory (HSDBT) and the mathematical formulation is applied to determine the governing equations of the structure. Distribution type and agglomeration effects of carbon nanofibers are considered by Mori-Tanaka model. Using the nonlinear strain-displacement relations, stress-strain relations and Hamilton's principle (virtual work method), the governing equations are derived. To obtain the dynamic response of the structure, harmonic differential quadrature method (HDQM) along with Newmark method is applied. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of NFRP layer, geometrical parameters of beam, volume fraction and agglomeration of nanofibers and boundary conditions on the dynamic response of the structure. The results indicated that applied NFRP layer decreases the maximum dynamic displacement of the structure up to 91 percent. In addition, using nanofibers as reinforcement leads a 35 percent reduction in the maximum dynamic displacement of the structure.

본 논문에서는 점탄-점소성 구성모델을 다층지반에서의 대형지진 발생시의 조건에 적용하기 위해 일본 고베 포트아일랜드에서 발생한 1995 Hyogoken Nanbu 지진에 대한 지진응답 해석을 수행하였다. 지진응답해석 결과 점성토의탄-점소성 모델과 점탄-점소성 모델로 계산된 가속도 기록은 포트아일랜드에서 계측된 가속도 기록과 거의 일치함을 알 수 있었으며, 점성토 지반 부근에서 점탄-점소성 모델과 탄-점소성 모델은 미세하게 다른 거동 특성을 나타내어 점소성 모델의 타당성을 확인하였다. 따라서 동적 점탄-점소성 구성모델은 대변형률 영역에서 점성토의 소성변형을 유발하는 대형 지진 등의 발생시 점성토의 증폭 및 감쇠특성의 파악을 위해 적용가능한 모델임이 입증되었다.

반복하중이나 동적하중에 대한 지반의 소성모델은 지반구조물의 비선형 수치해석에 매우 중요하다. 단일 항복면 모델은 반복하중에 대해 선형적 거동을 보이는 반면, 개발된 탄성영역이 없는 J₂-경계면 소성모델은 동일한 물성치로 효과적으로 지반의 비선형성을 모사할 수 있다. 경계면 내부 항복면의 반경을 0으로 수렴시켜 탄성영역이 사라지도록 수식화하고, 소성경화 계수과 팽창률을 이용하여 소성변형 증분을 정의하였다. 개발된 모델의 응력-변형률 증분식을 제시하고, 쌍곡선 모델에 대한 소성경화 계수를 유도하였다. 삼축압축조건과 얕은기초의 반복하중에 대한 비교해석은 개발된 모델의 안정적인 수렴성, 이론식과의 일치성, 그리고 이력경로을 보여 주었다. 또한, 수정된 쌍곡선함수에 대한 소성경화 계수를 제시하여, 1차원 등가선형모델에 부합하는 모델변수 산정법을 제안하여 지반의 다차원 거동을 모델링할 수 있도록 하였다.

본 연구에서는 연약지반에서의 재하/제하에 대한 안정해석과 응력-변형 해석시 전단 파라미터(UU; Unconsolidated Undrained, CU; Consolidated Undrained(전응력), ${\bar{CU}}$ ; Consolidated Undrained(유효응력))에 따른 초기 지중응력, 강도, 응력-변형 특성을 평가하였다. 시공단계를 고려한 유한요소 해석시 입력하는 전단 파라미터에 따라 초기 지중응력과 이후 해석 결과가 달라질 수 있음을 확인하였다. 특히, Mohr-Coulomb 모델의 입력 파라미터인 내부마찰각(Phi)을 0으로 입력하여 초기 지중응력과 이후 응력-변형 거동을 해석할 경우 잘못된 결과를 도출 할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 전응력 파라미터, CU를 초기 및 전단시 일괄 적용한 해석과 유효응력 파라미터, CU에서 전응력 파라미터, CU로 변경한 해석 결과가 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서, 연약지반에 대한 수치해석시 CU 파라미터를 적용하여도 초기 지중응력과 이후 응력-변형 거동에 큰 차이 없이 예측할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 실무에서 적용하기 편한 방법으로 실제 흙의 거동과 동일한 강도를 갖는 Mohr-Coulomb 모델의 전단 파라미터를 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다.

Population concentration in urban areas has led traffic management a central issue. To mitigate traffic congestions, the government has planned to construct large-cross-section tunnels deep underground. This study focuses on estimating the damage caused to frame structures owing to tunnel excavation. When constructing a tunnel network deep underground, it is necessary to divide the main tunnel and connect the divergence tunnel to the ground surface. Ground settlement is caused by excavation of the adjacent divergence tunnel. Therefore, predicting ground settlement using diverse variables is necessary before performing damage estimation. We used the volume loss and cover-tunnel diameter ratio as the variables in this study. Applying the ground settlement values to the settlement induction device, we measured the extent of damage to frame structures due to displacement at specific points. The vertical and horizontal displacements that occur at these points were measured using preattached LVDT (Linear variable differential transformer), and the lateral strain and angular distortion were calculated using these displacements. The lateral strain and angular distortion are key parameters for structural damage estimation. A damage assessment chart comprises the "Negligible", "Very Slight Damage", "Slight Damage", "Moderate to Severe Damage", and "Severe to Very Severe Damage" categories was developed. This table was applied to steel frame and concrete frame structures for comparison.

A series of centrifuge model tests were performed in order to investigate the behaviors of various tunnel linings. A 1/100-scaled aluminum and hydrostone horseshoe tunnel linings with a radius km, height km were buried in a depth of C/D=3 with dry Joomunjin standard sand, the relative density of which was 86%. Bending moments and thrusts along the tunnel circumference were measured by 12 strain gages. Earth pressures in soil and on lining were estimated by pressure transducers, ground surface settlements at center and edges by using LVDTs. Average Ko(coefficient of earth pressure at rest) was 0.39 for the model sand. The structural behaviors of lining depended on its damaged conditions. But, as a rule, on the crown, the tensile circumferential strain of lining occurred at the inner surface, and the compressive at the outer surface, then positive bending moment was created at the crown. The circumferential strain of the inner surface on the springline was tensile, and the outer compressive, so negative bending moment was measured at the springline. For hydrostone linings, cracks initiated at the inner surface on the crown, and the outer on the springline over average 40g.

A finite element model for the non-linear dynamic analysis of a reinforced concrete (RC) containment shell of a nuclear power plant subjected to extreme loads such as impact and earthquake is presented in this work. The impact is modeled by using an uncoupled approach in which a load function is applied at the impact zone. The earthquake load is modeled by prescribing ground accelerations at the base of the structure. The nuclear containment is discretized spatially by using 20-node brick finite elements. The concrete in compression is modeled by using a modified $Dr{\ddot{u}}cker$-Prager elasto-plastic constitutive law where strain rate effects are considered. Cracking of concrete is modeled by using a smeared cracking approach where the tension-stiffening effect is included via a strain-softening rule. A model based on fracture mechanics, using the concept of constant fracture energy release, is used to relate the strain softening effect to the element size in order to guaranty mesh independency in the numerical prediction. The reinforcing bars are represented by incorporated membrane elements with a von Mises elasto-plastic law. Two benchmarks are used to verify the numerical implementation of the present model. Results are presented graphically in terms of displacement histories and cracking patterns. Finally, the influence of the shear transfer model used for cracked concrete as well as the effect due to a base slab incorporation in the numerical modeling are analyzed.

The deployment of sensors for Structural Health Monitoring requires a complicated network arrangement, ground truthing, and calibration for validating sensor performance periodically. Any conventional sensor on a structural element is also subjected to static and dynamic vertical loadings in conjunction with other environmental factors, such as brightness, noise, temperature, and humidity. A structural model with strain gauges was built and tested to get realistic sensory information. This paper investigates different deep learning architectures and algorithms, including unsupervised, autoencoder, and supervised methods, to benchmark blind drift calibration methods using deep learning. It involves a fully connected neural network (FCNN), a long short-term memory (LSTM), and a gated recurrent unit (GRU) to address the blind drift calibration problem (i.e., performing calibrations of installed sensors when ground truth is not available). The results show that the supervised methods perform much better than unsupervised methods, such as an autoencoder, when ground truths are available. Furthermore, taking advantage of time-series information, the GRU model generates the most precise predictions to remove the drift overall.

본 연구에서는 정규압밀 건조 모래 지반내의 연직 강체 지반앵커에 대한 모형 인발실험을 실시해서 앵커 표면의 마찰각을 실측했다. 마찰각은 앵커 표면의 깊이 방향으로 설치된 다수의 2 방향 로드셀을 사용해서 측정된 수직응력, 전단응력으로 구했다. 실험은 평면변형률 앵커와 축대칭 앵커에 대해서 실시했는데 실험 분석 결과, 앵커표면의 최대마찰각은 평면변형률 압축시험에 의한 무신축방향의 면상의 응력경각의 최대치와 거의 일치한다는 것을 알았다. 이 결론은 모래의 강도 이방성과 구속압 의존성 등을 고려하여 얻은 것으로 앵커 표면 마찰각에 모래의 전단저항각을 적용해서 설계하면 위험측이 된다는 것도 알 수 있다.
