This paper proposes two contributions. One is an analysis for the limit of the subject of goal-directed reactive robot navigation, and the other is an effective navigation method employing the scheme of the subject. The analysis for the subject is presented in order to clarify the limit of the method. On the basis of the analysis, a safety-guaranteeing and deadlock-free reactive navigation method is newly proposed. The proposed method has a simple behavior-based frame such that it can make the required navigation tasks such as obstacle avoidance, deadlock resolving, and etc. with a very small set of behaviors in entirely unknown environments such as a living room, an office, and etc. Some results of experiments show these validities.

In this study the bearing capacity of the eccentrically loaded shallow footing is estimated by means of the upper bound method of limit analysis. In the case of applying the upper bound, the results depend on the failure mechanism. So the failure surface is correctly studied through the model test using sand. New method is proposed to estimate the bearing capacity of the eccentrically loaded shallow footing by means of the upper bound method to apply the failure mechanism based on the model test. The propriety of new method is verified by the results of various methods. And the influences of the variables eccentricity, embedment depth, variations of contact width factor by model test using sand are also studied in this paper

Intensive rainfall during the summer season in Korea has triggered numerous devastating landslides outside of downtown in mountainous areas. The 2D slope stability analysis that is generally used for cut slopes and embankments is inadequate to model slope failure in mountainous areas. This paper presents a new 3D slope stability formulation using the global sliding vector in the limit equilibrium method, and it uses an ellipsoidal slip surface for static and quasi-static analyses. The slip surface's flexibility of the ellipsoid shape gives a lower FS than the spherical failure shape in the Fellenius, Bishop, and Janbu's simplified methods. The increasing sub-columns of each column tend to increase the FS and converge to a steady value. The symmetrical geometric conditions of the convex turning corners do not indicate symmetrical failure of the surface in 3D analysis. Pseudo-static analysis shows that the horizontal seismic force decreases the FS and increases the mass volume at the critical failure state. The stability index takes the FS and corresponding sliding mass into consideration to assess the potential risk of slope failure in complex mountainous terrain. It is a valuable parameter for selecting a vulnerable area and evaluating the overall risk of slope failure.

한계평형법에 의한 비탈면 안정성 해석은 활동면을 반복적인 해석 후 임계면을 설정하여 해석을 수행하고, 지반이 균질한 경우에만 적용이 가능하며, 안전율만 산정 할 수 있는 단점이 있다. 그러나 강도감소법을 적용한 해석에서는 수행자가 여러 가지 측면에 대해서 판단하고, 안전율을 산정 할 수 있는 장점 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 동일한 크기의 비탈면을 대상으로 한계평형해석과 강도감소법을 활용하여 경사도 변화에 따른 두 해석법 간의 안전율 변화 양상과 점착력과 내부마찰각의 변화에 따른 안전율 변화 추이를 비교 분석하였다. 각각의 해석법에 따른 안정해석 분석 결과 지반내 응력, 변위와 변형률 등을 종합적으로 검토할 수 있는 강도감소법이 활용도가 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Based on detailed FE limit analyses, the present paper provides tractable approximations fer plastic limit pressure solutions fur axially through-wall-cracked pipe; axially (inner) surface-cracked pipe; circumferentially through-wall-cracked pipe; and circumferentially (inner) surface-cracked pipe. In particular, for surface crack problems, the effect of the crack shape, the semi-elliptical shape or the rectangular shape, on the limit pressure is quantified. Comparisons with existing analytical and empirical solutions show a large discrepancy in circumferential short through-wall cracks and in surface cracks (both axial and circumferential). Being based on detailed 3-D FE limit analysis, the present solutions are believed to be the most accurate, and thus to be valuable information not only for plastic collapse analysis of pressurised piping but also for estimating non-linear fracture mechanics parameters based on the reference stress approach.

Vertical reinforcement of soft soils using the deep mixing method has received increasing applications. In this study, the theory of elasticity and plasticity including the upper bound theorem of limit analysis were used to derive the equations for obtaining composite elastic properties and shear strength parameters. The developed equations were validated using the finite element computer program SAGE CRISP. The analysis involved 4 different cases-two different type of soil and replacement ratios. Tile results of the analysis show that the proposed equations could determine the properties of composite material for practical applications.

최근 토목구조물의 설계에 있어 한계상태설계법 적용이 세계적인 추세이나, 국내에서는 소수의 구조물에 국한되어 사용되고 있다. 주요 지중구조물인 터널에 대해서는 한계상태설계법의 도입이 근래에 시도되고 있으므로, 최신의 한계상태 설계법에 대한 이해가 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구는 최근 발간된 AASHTO LRFD Road Tunnel Design and Construction Guide Specification (2017)을 토대로 세그먼트 터널라이닝 설계 시 구조물 하중계수, 하중조합 등을 고찰하고 이외에 구조 검토 시 반영되어야 할 다양한 영향인자에 대해 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내에 적용되고 있는 전력구, 지하철 터널 단면을 대상으로 한 세그먼트 라이닝의 구조해석을 통하여, 지반조건과 하중수정계수, 이음부 강성조건 등 다양한 영향인자들이 부재력에 미치는 영향을 분석 평가하였다.

To investigate relevance of the definition of the reference stress to estimate J and $C^{*}$ for surface crack problems, this paper compares FE J and $C^{*}$ results for surface cracked pipes with those estimated according to the reference stress approach using various definitions of the reference stress. Pipes with part circumferential inner surface crack and finite internal axial crack are considered, subject to internal pressure and global bending. The crack depth and aspect ratio are systematically varied. The reference stress is defined in four different ways using (i) the local limit load, (ii) the global limit load, (iii) the global limit load determined from the FE limit analysis, and (iv) the optimized reference load. It is found that the reference stress based on the local limit load gives overall excessively conservative estimates of J and $^{*}$. Use of the global limit load clearly reduces the conservatism, compared to that of the local limit load, although it can provide sometimes non-conservative estimates of J and $^{*}$. The use of the FE global limit load gives overall non-conservative estimates of J and $^{*}$. The reference stress based on the optimised reference load gives overall accurate estimates of J and $^{*}$, compared to other definitions of the reference stress. Based on the present finding, general guidance on the choice of the reference stress for surface crack problems is given.

Reliability analysis is a probabilistic approach to determine a safety level of a system. Reliability is defined as a probability of a system (or a structure, in structural engineering) to functionally perform under given conditions. In the 1960s, Basler defined the reliability index as a measure to elucidate the safety level of the system, which until today is a commonly used parameter. However, the reliability index has been formulated based on the pivotal assumption which assumed that the considered limit state function is normally distributed. Nevertheless, it is not guaranteed that the limit state function of systems follow as normal distributions; therefore, there is a need to define a new reliability index for no-normal distributions. The main contribution of this paper is to define a sophisticated reliability index for limit state functions which their distributions are non-normal. To do so, the new definition of reliability index is introduced for non-normal limit state functions according to the probability functions which are calculated based on the convolution theory. Eventually, as the state of the art, this paper introduces a simplified method to calculate the reliability index for non-normal distributions. The simplified method is developed to generate non-normal limit state in terms of normal distributions using series of Gaussian functions.

본 연구에서는 역량스펙트럼법을 이용해 얻어진 구조물의 성능점을 확률적으로 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. ATC-40에 따라 역량스펙트럼법을 이용하여 4층 1경간 철골구조물의 성능점을 산정하였다. 요구스펙트럼을 이용하여 구조물의 성능한계를 초과하는지 여부를 분석하기 위해 구조부재의 소성변형각으로부터 정의되는 구조물의 성능한계에 대해 한계변위를 도출하였다. 또한 설계응답스펙트럼과 유사한 응답스펙트럼을 가지는 인공지진파 30개를 선정하여 스펙트럼 가속도에 따른 각 성능한계의 초과여부를 통해 fragility curve를 도출하였다. 관측된 초과확률을 이용하여 fragility curve를 도출하기 위해 maximum likelihood method를 사용하였다. 각 성능한계점에 대응하는 설계응답스펙트럼의 응답가속도값에서 성능한계점을 초과할 확률은 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 방식은 구조물의 성능점에 대해 지진파의 불확실성을 고려한 확률적 평가가 가능하고, 시간증분해석이 필요하지 않아 해석시간을 상당부분 단축시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다.
