In order to fully reflect variation characteristics of composite concrete dam health state, the monitoring data is applied to diagnose composite concrete dam health state. Composite concrete dam lesion development to wreckage is a precursor, and its health status can be judged. The monitoring data are generally non-linear and unsteady time series, which contain chaotic information that cannot be characterized. Thus, it could generate huge influence for the construction of monitoring models and the formulation of corresponding health diagnostic indicators. This multi-scale diagnosis process is from point to whole. Chaotic characteristics are often contained in the monitoring data. If chaotic characteristics could be extracted for reflecting concrete dam health state and the corresponding diagnostic indicators will be formulated, the theory and method of diagnosing concrete dam health state can be huge improved. Therefore, the chaotic characteristics of monitoring data are considered. And, the extracting method of the chaotic components is studied from monitoring data based on fuzzy dynamic cross-correlation factor method. Finally, a method is proposed for formulating composite concrete dam health state indicators. This method can effectively distinguish chaotic systems from deterministic systems and reflect the health state of concrete dam in service.

The hydraulic performance analysis of an entire pump system composed of inducer, impeller, volute and seal for the application of turbopumps is numerically performed using three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. A quasi-steady mixing-plane method is used on the impeller/volute interface to simulate the unsteady interaction phenomena. From this work, the effects of each component on the pump performance are investigated at design and off-design conditions through the analysis of flow structures and loss mechanisms. The computational results are in a good agreement with experimental ones in terms of the headrise and efficiency even though very complex flow structures are present. It is found that the asymmetric pressure distribution along the volute wall constitutes the main reason of the difference between experimental and computational results, due to the limitation of the quasi-steady method. Since the volute was found to be over-designed by the pressure distribution of the volute wall, re-design of the volute has been performed, resulting in an improved performance characteristic.

본 연구는 도심지 유역인 경기도 부천 여월동 단지 내의 도시하천에 대해서 유출 및 홍수 특성을 분석하였다. 해당 유역의 하천은 평상시에는 매우 적은 유량만이 흐르고 있으나, 홍수 시에는 상대적으로 높은 홍수위 및 유속으로 인해 홍수 피해의 위험성을 안고 있다. 홍수에 대한 안전성을 확인하기 위하여 유출 해석 모형을 적용하고, 또한 해당 유역에 대해 구축된 GIS 자료 및 하천 단면과 HEC-RAS를 이용, 홍수위를 예측하여 치수 안정성을 검증하고, 홍수시의 유속을 산정하여 하천 시설물과 자연형 호안 공법에 대한 홍수 방어 능력을 검토 하였다. 검토 결과 다목적 소하천을 목적으로 설치된 하천 구조물로 인하여 홍수 피해 발생위험이 있었으며, 홍수시에도 높은 유속으로 인한 불안요소를 포함하고 있었다. 이러한 주거지역내 소규모의 도시 하천에 대한 홍수 유출 해석에서는 홍수 유출 외에도 구조물에 의한 배수위 변동과 홍수시 유속으로 인한 영향과 같은 여러 위험 요인에 대하여 함께 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper describes an overview of technology and research of dam and levee in Korea. In order to trace the development of dam and levee construction technology, history of design and construction of them is briefly reviewed, and their statistics including type, number and purpose of those hydraulic structures in Korea are dealt with. Furthermore, current status of research on the mentioned structures is also reviewed based on the papers published in Korean societies such as Korean Society of Civil Engineers and Korean Geotechnical Society. Finally state-of-the-art equipment and technology to investigate the safety conditions, and hence to enhance or rehabilitate their stability and dam and levee systems, respectively, are introduced here.

Korea is part of a region of low or moderate seismic zone in which few earthquakes have been monitored, so it is difficult to approve design ground motions and seismic responses on structures from response spectrum. In this study, a series of dynamic centrifuge model tests for demonstrating seismic amplification characteristics in soil-foundation-structure system were performed using electro-hydraulic shaking table mounted on the KOCED 5.0 m radius beam centrifuge at KAIST in Korea. The soil model were prepared by raining dry sand and $V_S$ profiles were determined by performing bender element tests before shaking. The foundation types used in this study are shallow embedded foundation and deep basement fixed on the bottom. Total 7 building structures were used and the response of building structures were compared with response spectrum from the acceleration records on surface.

The enlargement of interest in base isolators as an earthquake-proof design strategy has dramatically accelerated experimental studies of elastomeric bearings worldwide. In this paper, a new base isolator concept that is a hybrid system of rubber bearings is proposed. Uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial shaking table tests are also performed to study the seismic behavior of a 0.4-scale three-story isolated steel structure in the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering in Taiwan. Experimental results demonstrate that structures with a hybrid system of rubber bearings composed of stirruped rubber bearings and laminated rubber bearings can actually decrease the seismic responses of the superstructure. It has been proved through the shaking table tests that the proposed hybrid system of rubber bearings is a very promising tool to enhance the seismic resistance of structures. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the proposed analytical model in this paper can predict the mechanical behavior of the hybrid system of rubber bearings and seismic responses of the base-isolated structures.

The development of heavy-duty process pumps, usually based on various design criteria, depends on the pump's application. The most important criteria are Q-H, efficiency and NPSH characteristics. Cavitation due to inlet recirculation is not often one of the design criteria, although many problems in pump operation appear because of inlet recirculation, when the operation range is from 0.5-0.8 $Q_{opt}$. The present paper shows that steady state CFD analysis of inlet recirculation can give quite good results for the design of new hydraulic shapes, which have been developed to expand operating range and to minimize the harmful influence of recirculation at part load. In this paper, the structures of inlet recirculation are presented, as well as detailed shapes of vortices between the blades for various operating regimes, axial velocity distribution at the impeller inlet, the experimental results of NPSH and efficiency characteristics of an existing and newly designed pump.

The braking hose in the automotive hydraulic braking system exhibits the complicated anisotropic large deformation while its movable end is moving along the cyclic path according to the steering and bump/rebound motions of vehicle. The complicated large deformation may cause not only the interference with other adjacent automotive parts but also the durability problem resulting in the fatal microcraking. In this regard, the design of high-durable braking hose with the interference-free layout becomes a hot issue in the automotive industry. However, since it has been traditionally relied on the cost-/time-consuming trial and error experiments, the cost- and time-effective optimum design method that can replace the experiment is highly desirable. Meanwhile, the hose deformed configuration and fatigue life are different for different hose cyclic paths, so that their characteristic investigation becomes an important preliminary research subject. As a preliminary step for developing the optimum design methodology, we in this study investigate the hose deformed configuration and the fatigue life for four representative hose cyclic paths.

비교적 수심이 낮은 해안에 설치되는 소형어항 및 해안구조물 등은 연안흐름을 방해하여 표사이동의 평형상태를 붕괴시킬 수 있으며 구조물에 의한 회절파의 영향으로 파랑이 집중되어 국소적인 해안침식을 유발시킬 가능성이 크다. 이와 같은 해안침식을 제어하기 위한 대책으로는 다양한 저감공법이 제안되어 이용되고 있으나 이안제, 돌제 및 헤드랜드 등의 공법은 침식제어에 대한 직접적인 효과는 우수할 수도 있으나 해수면위로 구조물이 드러나기 때문에 경관이 우수한 해수욕장에서는 경관을 해치게 되어 적용하기 어려운 측면이 있다. 해안관광을 우선시하는 지역에서는 바다조망권을 훼손시키지 않고 2차적인 환경영향을 최소화 시키고자 하는 목적으로 광폭의 잠제인 인공리프를 채택하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 한편 인공리프를 설치하고자 할 경우에는 인공리프의 길이와 인공리프 사이의 개구폭 및 해안선으로부터의 이안거리를 어떻게 결정하는지가 중요하다. 그러나 이러한 인공리프의 중요설계요소들에 대한 명확한 설계기준은 확립되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 종류의 수리모형실험을 수행하고 인공리프 주변에서 발생되는 파랑 및 흐름장의 변화를 PIV기법 등을 이용한 정밀측정 및 해석을 수행하여 인공리프 길이와 이안거리 및 개구폭에 대한 기준을 제시하고자 하였다.

본 연구에서는 상치콘크리트가 설치되어 있고, 주피복재로 테트라포드(Tetrapod)가 거치된 제두부 구간에 대하여 피복재 안정중량 재분석 및 피복중량의 할증 범위에 대해 검토하였다. 결과 분석을 위하여 3차원 수리실험을 수행하였다. 수리실험 결과에 의하면 항만 및 어항설계기준 해설(MOF, 2014), 미국의 CEM(USACE, 2005) 등에 제시된 제두부 구간에서의 피복재 할증 중량은 적정한 것으로 검토되었다. 테트라포드가 거치된 경사식구조물 제두부 구간 피복재의 할증중량 피복범위는 제두부 기준선을 중심으로 설계파고의 약 5배 범위를 항내측과 항외측에 피복하는 것이 적정한 것으로 검토되었다.
