The degree distribution of the plant-pollinator network was identified by analyzing the data in the ecosystem and reproduced by a model of the growing bipartite mutualistic networks. The degree distribution of pollinator shows power law or stretched exponential distribution, while plant usually shows stretched exponential distribution. In the growth model, the plant and the pollinator are selected with probability P_p and P_A=1-P_p, respectively. The number of incoming links for the plant and the pollinator is l_p and l_A, respectively. The probability that the link of the plant selects the pollinator of the existing network given as $A_{k_i}=k^{{\lambda}_A}_i/{\sum}_i\;k^{{\lambda}_A}_i$, and the probability that the pollinator selects the plant is $P_{k_i}=k^{{\lambda}_p}_i/{\sum}_i\;k^{{\lambda}_p}_i$. When the nonlinear growth index is 𝛌_X=1 (X=A or P), the degree distribution follows a power law, and if 0≤𝛌_X<1, the degree distribution follows a stretched exponential distribution. The cumulative degree distributions of plants and pollinators of 14 empirical plant-pollinators included in Interaction Web Database were calculated. A set of parameters (P_A,P_P,l_A,l_P) that reproduces these cumulative degree distributions and a growth index 𝛌_X (X=A or P) were obtained. We found that animal takes very heterogenous connections, whereas plant takes a more flexible connection network.

Spatial cable systems can provide more transverse stiffness and torsional stiffness without sacrificing the vertical bearing capacity compared with conventional vertical cable systems, which is quite lucrative for long-span earth-anchored suspension bridges' development. Higher economy highlights the importance of refined form-finding analysis. Meanwhile, the internal connection between the lateral and vertical sags has not yet been specified. Given this, an analytic algorithm of form-finding for the earth-anchored suspension bridge with spatial cables is proposed in this paper. Through the geometric compatibility condition and mechanical equilibrium condition, the expressions for cable segment, the recurrence relationship between catenary parameters and control equations of spatial cable are established. Additionally, the nonlinear general reduced gradient method is introduced into fast and high-precision numerical analysis. Furthermore, the analytic expression of the lateral and vertical sags is deduced and discussed. This is very significant for the space design above the bridge deck and the optimization of the sag-to-span ratio in the preliminary design stage of the bridge. Finally, the proposed method is verified with the aid of two examples, one being an operational self-anchored suspension bridge (with spatial cables and a 260 m main span), and the other being an earth-anchored suspension bridge under design (with spatial cables and a 500 m main span). The necessity of an iterative calculation for hanger tensions on earth-anchored suspension bridges is confirmed. It is further concluded that the main cable and their connected hangers are in very close inclined planes.

Casting Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) on an orthotropic steel deck and forming a composite action by connectors could improve the steel deck fatigue performance. This study presents the mechanical performance of a proposed post-combination connection between UHPC and steel, which had a low constraint effect on UHPC shrinkage. A total of 10 push-out tests were conducted for static and fatigue performance investigations. And the test results were compared with evaluation methods in codes to verify the latter's applicability. Meanwhile, nonlinear simulation and parametric works with material damage plasticity models were also conducted for the static and fatigue failure mechanism understanding. The static and fatigue test results both showed that fractures at stud roots and surrounding local UHPC crushes were the main failure appearances. Compared with normally arranged studs, group arrangement could result in reductions of static stud shear stiffness, strength, and fatigue lives, which were about 18%, 12%, and 27%, respectively. Compared with the test results, stud shear capacity and fatigue lives evaluations based on the codes of AASHTO, Eurocode 4, JSCE and JTG D64 could be applicable in general while the safety redundancies tended to be smaller or even insufficient for group studs. The analysis results showed that arranging studs in groups caused obviously uneven strain distributions. The severer stress concentration and larger strain ranges caused the static and fatigue performance degradations of group studs. The research outcome provides a very important basis for establishing a design method of connections in the novel post-combination steel-UHPC composite deck.

볼트접합 앵글을 사용한 선조립-SRC 합성기둥(이하 PSRC 합성기둥)의 구조성능을 평가하기 위하여 PSRC 기둥실험체 6개와 일반 SRC 기둥실험체 2개에 대하여 편심축 압축실험을 수행하였다. 횡보강재의 수직간격 및 단면형상과 축하중의 편심율을 실험변수로 고려하였다. 실험결과, 편심율이 큰 경우 PSRC 실험체는 단면 코너에 위치한 고강성 앵글로 인하여 압축하중 재하능력 및 변형능력이 기존 SRC 실험체보다 향상되었다. PSRC 기둥 실험체에서 횡방향 강판의 좁은 횡보강 간격과 Z형 단면의 횡방향 강판은 우수한 횡구속력을 제공하였으며, 하중재 하능력을 향상시켰다. 실험 및 수치해석을 통한 합성기둥의 휨 압축 강도는 현행설계기준에 의한 휨-압축 상관도를 상회하였다. 수치해석결과는 각 실험체의 강성, 최대강도, 최대하중 이후 강도감소거동을 비교적 잘 예측하였다.

New methodology for probabilistic reliability based grid expansion planning of HVDC in power system including Wind Turbine Generators(WTG) is developed in this paper. This problem is focused on scenario based optimal selection technique to decide best connection bus of new transmission lines of HVDC in view point of adequacy reliability in power system including WTG. This requires two kinds of modeling and simulation for reliability evaluation. One is how is reliability evaluation model and simulation of WTG. Another is to develop a failure model of HVDC. First, reliability evaluation of power system including WTG needs multi-state simulation methodology because of intermittent characteristics of wind speed and nonlinear generation curve of WTG. Reliability methodology of power system including WTG has already been developed with considering multi-state simulation over the years in the world. The multi-state model already developed by authors is used for WTG reliability simulation in this study. Second, the power system including HVDC includes AC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter substation. The substation is composed of a lot of thyristor devices, in which devices have possibility of failure occurrence in potential. Failure model of AC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter substation in order to simulate HVDC reliability is newly proposed in this paper. Furthermore, this problem should be formulated in hierarchical level II(HLII) reliability evaluation because of best bus choice problem for connecting new HVDC and transmission lines consideration. HLII reliability simulation technique is not simple but difficult and complex. CmRel program, which is adequacy reliability evaluation program developed by authors, is extended and developed for this study. Using proposed method, new HVDC connected bus point is able to be decided at best reliability level successfully. Methodology proposed in this paper is applied to small sized model power system.

분해기법은 일 단위 강수시계열 자료를 시간단위로 분해하는 데 주로 사용되고 있으며, 시단위 자료는 홍수예측을 위하여 주요하게 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 현재까지 제시된 대부분의 분해기술은 강우데이터가 추계학적 특성을 가지고 있다는 기본 가정을 전제로 하고 있기 때문에 모형을 구성하는데 있어서 강우자료의 물리적 특성을 반영하는 데는 한계를 보이고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 강우자료를 각기 다른 해상도로 변환하는데 따른 가중치의 동역학적 거동이 카오스 특성을 보이는지와 카오스적 분해가 가능한지를 비선형의 확정론적 방법(카오스이론)을 이용하여 규명하는 방안을 소개하였다. 우선, 기상청 산하 서울지점을 대상으로 24h-12h, 12h-6h, 6h-3h으로 해상도를 변환하는데 따른 가중치를 계산하여 사용하였다. 가중치 시계열자료의 카오스 특성을 규명하는 데는 상관차원방법을 이용하였으며, 부분근사화 기법을 이용하여 강우를 분해하였다. 서울 지점의 모든 해상도 변환에 따른 가중치는 저차원의 상관 차수를 가지는 카오스 특성을 보임을 확인하였으며, 분해결과 실제 관측치와 유사한 값을 보임을 확인하였다(높은 상관계수와 작은 평균제곱근오차를 보임). 또한 강우의 일반적인 경향성(총량, 강우의 발생 시점)은 보존되나 극값의 경우 대부분 과소 추정됨을 알 수 있었다.

To investigate the seismic performance of long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge, a super long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge scheme with main span of 1400m is taken as example, structural response of the bridge under E1 seismic action is investigated numerically by the multimode seismic response spectrum and time-history analysis, seismic behavior and also the effect of structural geometric nonlinearity on the seismic responses of super long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges are revealed. The seismic responses are also compared to those of a fully self-anchored cable-stayed bridge with the same main span. The effects of structural parameters including the earth-anchored girder length, the girder width, the girder depth, the tower height to span ratio, the inclination of earth-anchored cables, the installation of auxiliary piers in the side spans and the connection between tower and girder on the seismic responses of partially ground-anchored cable-stayed bridges are investigated, and their reasonable values are also discussed in combination with static performance and structural stability. The results show that the horizontal seismic excitation produces significant seismic responses of the girder and tower, the seismic responses of the towers are greater than those of the girder, and thus the tower becomes the key structural member of seismic design, and more attentions should be paid to seismic design of these sections including the tower bottom, the tower and girder at the junction of tower and girder, the girder at the auxiliary piers in side spans; structural geometric nonlinearity has significant influence on the seismic responses of the bridge, and thus the nonlinear time history analysis is proposed to predict the seismic responses of super long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges; as compared to the fully self-anchored cable-stayed bridge with the same main span, several stay cables in the side spans are changed to be earth-anchored, structural stiffness and natural frequency are both increased, the seismic responses of the towers and the longitudinal displacement of the girder are significantly reduced, structural seismic performance is improved, and therefore the partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge provides an ideal structural solution for super long-span cable-stayed bridges with kilometer-scale main span; under the case that the ratio of earth-anchored girder length to span is about 0.3, the wider and higher girder is employed, the tower height-to-span ratio is about 0.2, the larger inclination is set for the earth-anchored cables, 1 to 2 auxiliary piers are installed in each of the side spans and the fully floating system is employed, better overall structural performance is achieved for long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges.

본 연구에서는 확대머리 정착이음을 갖는 연결부의 상세에 따른 구조거동을 유한요소해석을 통해 분석하였다. 복잡한 접촉조건과 비선형 거동을 나타내는 연결부의 유한요소해석을 위하여 외연적 동해석을 활용한 준정적 해석 기법을 적용하였다. 기존 실험결과와 해석결과를 비교하여 유한요소모델의 정확성을 검토하였으며, 준정적 해석 기법은 확대머리 연결부의 비선형성을 잘 반영하는 것을 확인하였다. 다양한 정착길이, 횡방향 철근지수를 갖는 21가지 유한요소모델을 활용하여 구조해석을 수행한 결과 정착길이와 횡방향 철근지수의 증가는 강도와 연성도를 증가 시키는 것을 확인하였으나, 충분한 구조성능을 확보하기 위해서는 두 가지 설계변수 모두 일정수준을 확보해야 함을 확인하였다. 최근 개정된 확대머리 정착이음 설계기준에서는 정착길이와 횡방향 철근지수를 모두 고려하는 설계식을 제시하고 있으며, 본 연구의 결과에서도 정착길이 뿐만 아니라 횡방향 보강철근이 매우 중요한 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.
