This paper proposes a selectively cumulative sum (S-CUSUM) control chart with variable sampling intervals (VSI) for detecting shifts in the process mean. The basic idea of the VSI S-CUSUM chart is to adjust sampling intervals and to accumulate previous samples selectively in order to increase the sensitivity. The VSI S-CUSUM chart employs a threshold limit to determine whether to increase sampling rate as well as to accumulate previous samples or not. If a standardized control statistic falls outside the threshold limit, the next sample is taken with higher sampling rate and is accumulated to calculate the next control statistic. If the control statistic falls within the threshold limit, the next sample is taken with lower sampling rate and only the sample is used to get the control statistic. The VSI S-CUSUM chart produces an 'out-of-control' signal either when any control statistic falls outside the control limit or when L-consecutive control statistics fall outside the threshold limit. The number L is a decision variable and is called a 'control length'. A Markov chain model is employed to describe the VSI S-CUSUM sampling process. Some useful formulae related to the steady state average time-to signal (ATS) for an in-control state and out-of-control state are derived in closed forms. A statistical design procedure for the VSI S-CUSUM chart is proposed. Comparative studies show that the proposed VSI S-CUSUM chart is uniformly superior to the VSI CUSUM chart or to the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) chart with respect to the ATS performance.

The application of relatively low volumes of fibres in normal strength concrete has been shown to be of significant benefit when applied to composite slabs with profiled sheet decking. This paper reports on an experimental study aimed at quantifying further potential benefits that may arise from applying ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete. To assess performance six simply supported beams were tested under hogging and sagging loading configurations along with three two span continuous beams. Fibre contents are varied from 0% to 2% and changes in strength, deformation, crack width and moment redistribution are measured. At the serviceability limit state, it is shown that the addition of high fibre volumes can significantly enhance member stiffness and reduce crack widths in all beams. At the ultimate limit state it is observed that a transition from 0% to 1% fibres significantly increases strength but that there is a maximum fibre volume beyond which no further increases in strength are possible. Conversely, member ductility and moment redistribution are shown to be strongly proportional to fibre volume.

The performance of bridges under strong wind and traffic is of great importance to set the traveling speed limit or to make operational decisions for severe weather, such as controlling traffic or even closing the bridge. Meanwhile, the vehicle's safety is highly concerned when it is running on bridges or highways under strong wind. During the past two decades, researchers have made significant contributions to the simulation of the wind-vehicle-bridge system and their interactive effects. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the overall performance of the bridge and traffic system under strong wind, including bridge structures and vehicles, and the associated mitigation efforts.

배관시스템은 다양한 산업 분야에서 이용되는 중요한 설비이며 생활 및 안전과 관련된 영역에서 사용되고 있다. 배관시스템은 건축물 및 시설의 주요 구조부에 고정되어 있으나 외부 하중을 지지하지 않으며 주어진 고유기능을 수행하는 비구조요소이다. 지진하중으로 인한 배관시스템은 두 지지점 사이의 서로 다른 거동으로 발생하는 위상차로 인한 상대 변위의 영향을 받으며 변위 지배적인 반복거동 때문에 손상이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 배관시스템에서 피팅과 조인트는 지진하중에 취약한 대표적인 요소이다. 배관시스템의 피팅과 조인트에 대한 내진성능과 한계상태를 평가하고자 한다면 상대변위를 모사하기 위한 높은 스트로크를 가지는 엑츄에이터가 필요하나 실험을 수행할 수 있는 설비가 많지 않아 어려움이 있다. 따라서 피팅과 조인트로 연결된 배관시스템의 내진성능과 한계상태를 평가하기 위해서는 요소 단위의 실험이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 수직배관시스템에서 지진하중에 취약한 요소인 피팅과 조인트를 포함하는 엘보 시험체에 대하여 내진성능을 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. 엘보 시험체는 90° 배관 엘보의 양단에 직관부를 유동식 그루브 조인트를 이용하여 연결하였다. 엘보 시험체에 대하여 변형각에 기반을 둔 주기하중 프로토콜을 이용하여 내진성능을 평가하였다. 평가된 내진성능에 대한 여유도를 확인하기 위하여 일정한 진폭에 대한 주기하중을 적용하여 한계상태를 평가하였다.

Uncertainties in the aerodynamic coefficients or time delay effects in implementing an autopilot algorithm can make a Flight Control System(FCS) unstable. When a FCS enters unstable state, the actuator or sensor limiters in FCS make the unstable system not diverge but be in the state of stable limit cycle. If an autopilot recognize the FCS to be in the stable limit cycle phenomenon, it woudl be better to adjust autopilot gains to stabilize the FCS. A novel method to stabilize a FCS using parameter estimation and maintenance of given phase margin is proposed. The method is applied to roll control loop and verified its performance.

The expediency of revising universal rules for the combination of gravity and lateral actions of wind force-resisting steel structures recommended by the Standards EN 1990 and ASCE/SEI 7-05 is discussed. Extreme wind forces, gravity actions and their combinations for the limit state design of structures are considered. The effect of statistical uncertainties of extreme wind pressure and steel yield strength on the structural safety of beam-column joints of wind force-resisting multistory steel frames designed by the partial factor design (PFD) and the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) methods is demonstrated. The limit state criterion and the performance process of steel frame joints are presented and considered. Their long-term survival probability analysis is based on the unsophisticated method of transformed conditional probabilities. A numerical example illustrates some discrepancies in international design standards and the necessity to revise the rule of universal combinations of loads in wind and structural engineering.

Most structures are constantly influenced by repeated weathering phenomena and load action during a period of its utilization, and their component materials become superannuated and their design performance becomes slowly lost. Therefore, it is thought that it is necessary to develop the online monitoring system that can make a great contribution to the maintenance management and disaster prevention of the building structure by sensing any slight change of the entire structure regardless of its inside and outside. Especially, this study was intended to explain the entire system of the online structure by interpreting welded built-up H-beams, of structural steel members having many advantages in terms of the qualities of structural materials, through limit state design, and presenting the basic plan to apply it to the structure.

A tracking controller which can improve the performance of nonlinear electrohydraulic position control system is designed and implemented. The method is based on augmenting the system with integrators, obtaining the feedback control law which stabilizes the linear part of the original nonlinear system, and then reajusting the feedback gains using the deseribing funtion method to eliminate the limit cycle in the steady state. The proposed control law is implemented using OP amplifiers, and step and ramp response tests are carried out in the electrohydraulic servomechanism. The results show the improvement in both rransient and steady-state response.

An efficient and accurate algorithm is proposed to evaluate the reliability of cable-stayed bridges accounting for soil-pile interaction. The proposed algorithm integrates the finite-element method and the response surface method. The finite-element method is used to model the cable-stayed bridge including soil-pile interaction. The reliability index is evaluated based on the response surface method. Uncertainties in the superstructure, the substructure and load parameters are incorporated in the proposed algorithm. A long span steel cable-stayed bridge with a main span length of 1088 m built in China is considered as an illustrative example. The reliability of the bridge is evaluated for the strength and serviceability performance functions. Results of the study show that when strength limit states for both girder and tower are considered, soil-pile interaction has significant effects on the reliability of steel cable-stayed bridges. Further, a detailed sensitivity study shows that the modulus of subgrade reaction is the most important soil-pile interaction-related parameter influencing the reliability of steel cable-stayed bridges.

현재 인장형 지반앵커는 그 사용목적, 사용기간에 따라 가설과 영구로 구분하여 성능평가를 별도로 제시하고 있다. 현재의 성능평가 상한선과 하한선 기준을 실무에 적용하는 데 있어 타당한 것으로 보인다. 하지만, 압축형 지반앵커는 주로 영구로 사용되어 온 점으로 인해 가설과 영구의 구분 없이 영구에 해당하는 기준이 제시되어 있어 제거형과 같이 가설로 사용하는 지반앵커에 있어서는 엄격한 기준이 되고 있다. 기존 성능평가 기준선을 고찰해 본 결과, 하한 기준선은 가설과 영구 구분 없이 적용할 수 있는 것으로 판단되나 상한 기준선은 가설과 영구를 구분하여 제시하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다. 압축형 지반앵커에서 상한선 기준의 적용에 있어서 앵커의 정착지반상태(암반 또는 토사), 사용기간, 특히 하중-변위 곡선의 탄성상태 유지 여부 등을 고려하여 상한선을 조정할 필요성이 있다.
