A total life model was developed to assess the service life of aging aircraft. The primary focus of this paper is the development of crack growth life projection using the response surface method. Crack growth life projection is a necessary component of the total life model. The study showed that the number of load cycles N needed for a crack to propagate to a specified size can be linearly related to the geometric parameter, material, and stress level of the component considered when all the variables are transformed to logarithmic values. By the Central Limit theorem, the ln N was approximated by Gaussian distribution. This Gaussian model compared well with the histograms of the number of load cycles generated from simulated crack growth curves. The outcome of this study will aid engineers in designing their crack growth experiments to develop the stochastic crack growth models for service life assessments.

The paper proposes an optimal sizing method of a customer's battery energy storage system (BESS) which aims at managing the electricity demand of the customer to minimize electricity cost under the time of use(TOU) pricing. Peak load limit of the customer and charging and discharging schedules of the BESS are optimized on annual basis to minimize annual electricity cost, which consists of peak load related basic cost and actual usage cost. The optimal scheduling is used to assess the maximum cost savings for all sets of candidate capacities of BESS. An optimal size of BESS is determined from the cost saving curves via capacity of BESS. Case study uses real data from an apartment-type factory customer and shows how the proposed method can be employed to optimally design the size of BESS for customer demand management.

This paper presents an investigation on bearing capacity, load-settlement behavior and safety factor of rock-soil slopes reinforced using geogrid-box method (GBM). To this end, small-scale laboratory studies were carried out to study the load-settlement response of a circular footing resting on unreinforced and reinforced rock-soil slopes. Several parameters including unit weight of rock-soil materials (loose- and dense-packing modes), slope height, location of footing relative to the slope crest, and geogrid tensile strength were studied. A series of finite element analysis were conducted using ABAQUS software to predict the bearing capacity behavior of slopes. Limit equilibrium and finite element analysis were also performed using commercially available software SLIDE and ABAQUS, respectively to calculate the safety factor. It was found that stabilization of rock-soil slopes using GBM significantly improves the bearing capacity and settlement behavior of slopes. It was established that, the displacement contours in the dense-packing mode distribute in a broader and deeper area as compared with the loose-packing mode, which results in higher ultimate bearing load. Moreover, it was found that in the loose-packing mode an increase in the vertical pressure load is accompanied with an increase in the soil settlement, while in the dense-packing mode the load-settlement curves show a pronounced peak. Comparison of bearing capacity ratios for the dense- and loose-packing modes demonstrated that the maximum benefit of GBM is achieved for rock-soil slopes in loose-packing mode. It was also found that by increasing the slope height, both the initial stiffness and the bearing load decreases. The results indicated a significant increase in the ultimate bearing load as the distance of the footing to the slope crest increases. For all the cases, a good agreement between the laboratory and numerical results was observed.

지진취약도 곡선은 구조물의 피해를 지반가속도에 따른 확률로 나타낸 것으로, 이를 이용하여 구조물의 지진에 대한 손상확률을 추정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 6층, 12층 중복도형 격간벽 구조 시스템에 대한 취약도 곡선을 산출하기 위해 22쌍의 지반가속도를 이용하여 증분동적해석(Incremental dynamic analysis)을 수행하고, 다양한 지진강도에 대한 파괴확률을 구하였다. 정형의 격간벽 구조의 해석결과와 1층의 격간벽을 기둥으로 대체한 구조물, 중앙 복도에 기둥이 추가된 구조물의 해석결과를 비교하였다. 취약도 해석결과에 따르면 동일한 수준의 지진하중에 대하여 중앙 복도에 기둥을 추가한 모델이 가장 높은 내진 안전성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

암반 근입말뚝의 설계기준은 일반적으로 침하량 기준을 사용하므로 설계단계에서 암반근입말뚝의 하중-변위$(\sigma-\sigma)$ 거동을 잘 이해해야 하나 그 거동의 복잡성으로 인해 하중-변위 거동을 파악하기가 어렵다. 이를 위해 먼저 현장타설 콘크리트 말뚝에 대해 현장재하시험을 실시하여 그 결과로부터 암반 근입말뚝의 하중-변위 거동을 고찰하였고, 상용 프로그램인 ELAC을 이용하여 하중-변위 곡선의 형상에 큰 영향을 주는 입력변수를 변화시켜 가며 말뚝의 하중-변위 관계를 모사하였다. 최종적으로 수치해석 입력데이터와 현장 지반조사결과의 관계를 일반화함으로써 지반공학자가 설계단계에서 적절한 현장데이터를 이용하여 하중-변위 거동을 예측할 수 있도록 하였다.

The recent increase in earthquake activities has highlighted the importance of seismic performance evaluation for civil infrastructures. In particular, the container crane essential to maintaining the national logistics system with port operation requires an exact evaluation of its seismic response. Thus, this study aims to assess the seismic vulnerability of container cranes considering their seismic characteristics. The seismic response of the container crane should account for the structural members' yielding and buckling, as well as the crane wheel's uplifting derailment in operation. The crane's yielding and buckling limit states were defined using the stress of crane members based on the load and displacement curve obtained from nonlinear static analysis. The derailment limit state was based on the height of the rail, and nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed to obtain the seismic fragility curves considering defined limit states and seismic characteristics. The yield and derailment probabilities of the crane in the near-fault ground motion were approximately 1.5 to 4.7 and 2.8 to 6.8 times higher, respectively, than those in the far-fault ground motion.

The purpose of this study is to practical use with increase safety, usablility and economical. In this study, the property of fatigue behavior was tested by comparing reinforced concrete and steel fiber reinforced concrete. The basic test, the static test and fatigue test were used as the research methods. Basic on the test, the material compressive strength test and split tensile strength test ware conducted 7 days and 28 days after the concrete was poured. In the static test, there ware four types of experimental variables of the steel fiber mixing ratio : 0.00%, 0.75%, 1.00%, and 1.25%. The ultimate load initial diagonal tension crack, and initial load of flexural cracking were all observed by static test. A methodology for the probabilistic assement of steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) which takes into account material variability, confinement model uncertainty and the uncertainty in local and globa failure criteria is applied for the derivation of vulnerability curves for the serviceability and ultimate limit states, the reliability of SFRC using the proposed practical linear limit state model is evaluated by using the AFOSM(Advanced First Order Second Moment) method and MCS(monte-Calrosimulation) method.

Through the fatigue test of plastic gears using polyacetal polymer, this research aims at providing basic data for not only specifying operation conditions of plastic gears, but also designing dimensions of plastic gears with giving fatigue life and the estimated equation of fatigue life of plastic gears. That is, from the fatigue life curves, the estimated equation of fatigue life of plastic gears is taken out. For the estimated equation of fatigue life of plastic gears, this research provides two test methods; one is preserving non-limited temperature of tooth flank, the other is preserving limited temperature of tooth flank. As results, how the temperature of tooth flank affects the fatigue life is shown. In addition, based on the endurance limit, the essential factors of the unit load and K-factor are determined, which are needed in the design of gear by bending strength and surface durability.

본 연구에서는 PCI 방법으로 설계한 직사각형보의 댑 전단거동을 구명키 위해 실물 크기의 두 개의 보 네 개의 댑단부에 대하여 실험하였다. 적용된 설계 활하중 500kgf/$m^2$은 주차장, 1,200kgf/$m^2$은 매장을 위한 국내설계기준이다. 보의 하단폭은 5층 정도의 매장 또는 주차장건물의 하부 기둥크기와 동일하게 60cm로 하였고, 댑의 깊이는 PCI에서 허용하는 최대치 내에서 하부 플랜지높이의 절반을 적용하였다. 대상 실물 실험체는 PCI 설계에 충분히 만족하도록 설계하였으나, 네 개의 실험체중 활하중 1200kgf/$m^2$를 위한 두 개의 실험체는 사용하중이전에 초기균열이 발생되었고 예측강도에 훨씬 못 미치는 하중에서 니브의 수직 전단파괴에 의하여 종국파괴되었다. 니브 수직전단파괴를 일으킨 활하중 1200kgf/$m^2$실험체의 최종 파괴강도는 77.22tonf과 78.36tonf으로 PCI의 81.9tonf과 ACI의 65.62tonf 사이 값으로 ACI의 예측식에 상회하나 PCI 제안 값에 미달하여 발생하였으므로 ACI제안 방식이 안전적인 측면을 고려할 때 더 합리적인 것으로 사료된다. 모든 하중-변형률곡선에서 걸이철근(Ash)의 변형률이 항복변형률에 도달할 정도로 가장 두드러졌다. 강도를 개선하기 위하여 추가적인 경사 걸이 철근이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

To study the eccentric compressive performance of the basalt-fiber reinforced recycled aggregate concrete (BFRRAC)-filled circular steel tubular stub column, 8 specimens with different replacement ratios of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA), basalt fiber (BF) dosage, strength grade of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and eccentricity were tested under eccentric static loading. The failure mode of the specimens was observed, and the relationship curves during the entire loading process were obtained. Further, the load-lateral displacement curve was simulated and verified. The influence of the different parameters on the peak bearing capacity of the specimens was analyzed, and the finite element analysis model was established under eccentric compression. Further, the design-calculation method of the eccentric bearing capacity for the specimens was suggested. It was observed that the strength failure is the ultimate point during the eccentric compression of the BFRRAC-filled circular steel tubular stub column. The shape of the load-lateral deflection curves of all specimens was similar. After the peak load was reached, the lateral deflection in the column was rapidly increased. The peak bearing capacity decreased on enhancing the replacement ratio or eccentric distance, while the core RAC strength exhibited the opposite behavior. The ultimate bearing capacity of the BFRRAC-filled circular steel tubular stub column under eccentric compression calculated based on the limit analysis theory was in good agreement with the experimental values. Further, the finite element model of the eccentric compression of the BFRRAC-filled circular steel tubular stub column could effectively analyze the eccentric mechanical properties.
