Caisson-type structures are widely used as quay walls in coastal areas. In Korea, for a long time, many caisson-type quay walls have been constructed with a low front water depth. These facilities can no longer meet the requirements of current development. This study developed a new technology for deepening existing caisson-type quay walls using grouting and rubble mound excavation to economically reuse them. With this technology, quay walls could be renovated by injecting grout into the rubble mound beneath the front toe of the caisson to secure its structure. Subsequently, a portion of the rubble mound was excavated to increase the front water depth. This paper reports the results of an investigation of the seismic behavior of a renovated quay wall in comparison to that of an existing quay wall using centrifuge tests and numerical simulations. Two centrifuge model tests at a scale of 1/120 were conducted on the quay walls before and after renovation. During the experiments, the displacements, accelerations, and earth pressures were measured under five consecutive earthquake input motions with increasing magnitudes. In addition, systematic numerical analyses of the centrifuge model tests were also conducted with the PLAXIS 2D finite element (FE) program using a nonlinear elastoplastic constitutive model. The displacements of the caisson, response accelerations, deformed shape of the quay wall, and earth pressures were investigated in detail based on a comparison of the numerical and experimental results. The results demonstrated that the motion of the caisson changed after renovation, and its displacement decreased significantly. The comparison between the FE models and centrifuge test results showed good agreement. This indicated that renovation was technically feasible, and it could be considered to study further by testbed before applying in practice.

When the vertical load-bearing members in high-rise structures fail locally, the beam-column joints play an important role in the redistribution of the internal forces. In this paper, a static laboratory test of three full-scale flush flange beam-reinforced connections with side and cover plates (CP-FBSP connection) with double half-span steel beams and single L-shaped columns composed of concrete-filled steel tubes (L-CFST columns) was conducted. The influence of the side plate width and cover plate thickness on the progressive collapse resistance of the substructure was thoroughly analyzed. The failure mode, vertical force-displacement curves, strain variation, reaction force of the pin support and development of internal force in the section with the assumed plastic hinge were discussed. Then, through the verified finite element model, the corresponding analyses of the thickness and length of the side plates, the connecting length between the steel beam flange and cover plate, and the vertical-force eccentricity were carried out. The results show that the failure of all the specimens occurred through the cracking of the beam flange or the cover plate, and the beam chord rotations measured by the test were all greater than 0.085 rad. Increasing the length, thickness and width of the side plates slightly reduced the progressive collapse resistance of the substructures. The vertical-force eccentricity along the beam length reduced the progressive collapse resistance of the substructure. An increase in the connecting length between the beam flange and cover plate can significantly improve the progressive collapse resistance of substructures.

When an earth pressure balance (EPB) shield machine bores a tunnel in gravelly sand stratum, the excavated natural soil is normally transformed using foam and water to reduce cutter wear and the risk of direct muck squeezing out of the screw conveyor (i.e., muck spewing). Understanding the undrained shear behavior of conditioned soils under pressure is a potential perspective for optimizing the earth pressure balance shield tunnelling strategies. Owing to the unconventional properties of conditioned soil, a pressurized vane shear apparatus was utilized to investigate the undrained shear behavior of foam-conditioned gravelly sands under normal pressure. The results showed that the shear stress-displacement curves exhibited strain-softening behavior only when the initial void ratio (e₀) of the foam-conditioned sand was less than the maximum void ratio (e_max) of the unconditioned sand. The peak and residual strength increased with an increase in normal pressure and a decrease in foam injection ratio. A unique relation between the void ratio and the shear strength in the residual stage was observed in the e-ln(τ) space. When e₀ was greater than e_max, the fluid-like specimens had quite low strengths. Besides, the stick-slip behavior, characterized by the variation coefficient of measured shear stress in the residual stage, was more evident under lower pressure but it appeared to be independent of the foam injection. A comparison between the results of pressurized vane shear tests and those of slump tests indicated that the slump test has its limitations to characterize the chamber muck fluidity and build the optimal conditioning parameters.

굴착 공정에 따른 주변지반의 거동 특성을 파악하기 위하여 굴착 깊이가 15m$\∼$29m인 3개 굴착현장에서 장기간에 걸쳐 계측을 실시하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 이 논문에서는 본 굴착뿐만 아니라 토류벽 설치 및 지보 해체 작업이 굴착 주변지반의 거동에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 전체 굴착 공정을 굴토 전 준비 공정, 본 굴착 공정, 지보 해체의 세 공정으로 구분하여 계측을 수행하였다. 3개 굴착현장에서 이루어진 계측결과에 의하면, 지보 해체로 인하여 추가적으로 발생한 벽체 수평변위는 본 굴착단계에서 발생한 변위의 약 40$\%$ 내외였으며, 지표침하의 경우에는 본 굴착 시 발생한 침하체적의 $18\%\∼33\%$가 발생하였다. 이와 같은 현장계측 결과를 통하여, 굴착 전 및 지보 해체 공정 중에도 무시할 수 없을 정도의 지반 변위가 발생할 수 있음을 정량적으로 확인하였다.

지중연속벽 시공을 위한 트렌치 굴착시 굴착배면지반의 침하거동을 규명하기 위한 모형실험을 실시하였다. 트렌치 굴착을 모사하는 모형실험장치를 제작하였으며 계측시스템을 이용하여 트렌치 굴착시 굴착배면지반의 침하를 측정하였다. 모형실험결과 트렌치 굴착시 굴착배면지반의 침하량은 굴착면에 가까워질수록 크게 증가하는 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 지반의 상대밀도가 작고, 지하수위가 높을수록 굴착시 배면지반에서의 침하량은 크게 발생하였다. 그리고, 굴착배면지반에서의 침하량은 최종 굴착깊이의 약40%에 해당하는 이격거리에서 급격하게 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 트렌치 굴착완료후 굴착면내 안정액의 수위를 저하시킬 경우 굴착측벽에서는 벌징(Bulging) 현상이 발생되고, 굴착배면지반에서는 침하현상이 발생되어 종국에는 굴착면 상부에서 지반붕괴가 발생되었다. 모형실험에서 측정된 굴착배면지반에서의 침하량은 Clough and O'Rourke(1990)에 의해 제안된 침하량보다 작게 발생하였으며, 굴착배면지반의 침하기준선은 굴착벽면 주변에서 급격하게 증가하는 쌍곡선형태로 관찰되었다.

본 연구에서는 조립질의 퇴적층이 깊게 분포되어 있고 지하연속벽과 지반앵커로 구성된 굴착현장을 선정하여 흙막이 벽계와 배면지반의 수평변위 비교, 벽체 내부에 깊이별로 설치된 토압계와 앵커 두부에 설치된 축력계로 부터의 토압과 축력의 변화등을 정밀하게 평가분석 하였다. 분석결과 강성벽계의 수평변위는 벽체 내부에 설치된 지중경사계로 측정된 결과가 보다 합리적인 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 단계별 굴착에 따른 토압의 변화를 분석한 결과, 굴착이 진행됨에 따라 지반앵커의 선행 긴장력으로 인해 배면 토압은 점차 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있었으며, 지하연속벽이 강성 벽체지만 퇴적층이 깊고 굴착 깊이가 깊은 경우에는 연성벽체에서 경험적으로 평가된 경험토압과 유사한 결과가 나타남을 확인하였다.

A polymer-based mechanical low-pass filter(m-LPF) for high-g accelerometers makes it possible to remove high-frequency transient noises from acceleration signals, thus ensuring repeatable and reliable measurement on high-g acceleration. We establish a prediction model for performance of m-LPF by combining a fundamental vibration model with the fractional derivative standard linear solid(FD SLS) model describing the storage modulus and loss modulus of polymers. Here, the FD SLS model is modified to consider the effect of m-LPF shape factor (i.e., thickness) on storage modulus and loss modulus. The prediction accuracy is verified by comparing the displacement transmissibility(or cut-off frequency) estimated using our model with that measured from 3 kinds of polymers(polysulfide rubber(PSR), silicone rubber(SR), and polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)). Our findings will contribute a significant growth of m-LPF for high-g accelerometers.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of spinal mobilization with leg movement (SMWLM) and neural mobilization (NM) in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) accompanied by radiating pain. Design: Three-group pre-test-post-test control group design. Methods: We enrolled 48 participants, whom we randomly assigned to three groups. The SMWLM group (n=16) underwent 20 min of conventional physical therapy (CT) and 20 min of SMWLM. The NM group (n=16) underwent 20 min of CT and 20 min of NM. The control group (n=16) underwent 20 min of CT. These interventions in all the groups were performed three times a week for 4 weeks. Numeric pain rating score (NPRS), body grid chart score (BGCS), passive straight leg raise (PSLR), active lumbar flexion range of motion (ALFROM), korean version oswestry disability index (KODI), and korean version fear avoidance beliefs questionnaire (KFABQ) were measured pre- and post-intervention. Results: In all three groups, the NPRS, PSLR, KODI, and KFABQ scores were significantly different pre- and post-intervention (p<0.05). Significant differences were observed in BGCS and ALFROM in the SMWLM and NM groups pre- and post-intervention (p<0.05). The SMWLM group showed more improvement in the NPRS of leg pain, ALFROM, and KFABQ score than that exhibited by the NM and control groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: Both SMWLM and NM were effective for improving back and leg pain, centralization of symptoms, mechanical sensitivity, lumbar mobility, lumbar functional disability, and psychosocial functioning in patients with LDH with radiating pain.
