이 연구는 국내 공용 중인 교량 형식 중 건설 빈도가 가장 높은 RC 슬래브 교량의 공용내하력을 간단하게 평가할 수 있는 방안에 관한 것이다. 다수의 RC 슬래브 교량이 오랜 공용기간으로 인해 상당한 노후화가 진행된 상태지만, 교량의 규모 상 1, 2종 시설물에 포함되지 않아 그동안 안전 관리에 소홀한 측면이 있다. 기존의 이론적 선행연구에서는 실측 처짐 및 실측 고유진동수에 의해 도출된 처짐응답비와 강성저하율의 관계를 이용한 RC 슬래브 교량의 손상도 평가 프로세스(안)이 제시된 바 있다. 이 연구에서는 손상도 평가 프로세스(안)의 적정성을 검토하기 위해 실 교량에 대한 평가 결과를 시설물 안전법의 안전등급 및 Matsui의 노후도 지수와 비교·검토하였다. 또한 손상도 평가 프로세스(안)의 현장적용성을 향상시켜 실측 고유진동수만으로 개략적인 공용내하력을 평가하는 개선된 방안을 제시하였다. 연구결과, 10% 정도의 공용내하력 평가 결과의 오차를 허용하는 경우, 이 연구에서 제시된 방법은 노후화된 RC 슬래브 교량의 안전성 평가 및 유지보수 우선순위 산정 등에 효율적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 시울지역 내 분포하고 있는 15개 지역의 문화재 주변지반에 대하여 표면파탐사를 바탕으로 하는 지반조사결과를 이용하여 수치해석 기반의 3차원 내진해석을 수행하였으며, 해석결과를 기반으로 지반변위를 분석하였다. 해석결과, 지반의 변위는 (구)공업전습소 본관이 최대 약 9.7mm로 나타났다. 이와 같이 변위가 작게 나타난 원인은 문화재가 위치한 지역의 토층이 매우 단단하기 때문으로 표면파 탐사를 통해서 분석된 지반가속도를 비교해 보아도 하부에 매우 단단한 암층이 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 낙성대 삼층석탑에 있어서, 지반 자체의 변위는 다른 지역과 유사하게 나타났으나 화강암으로 구성된 석탑은 상부에서 최대 30mm의 변위를 나타냈다. 이는 낙성대 삼층석탑을 지지지하는 지반의 경우 지진파에 대한 상호 보완을 할 수 있는 구조, 즉 지반반력으로 인한 감쇠효과가 나타나기 때문에 지반의 변위 자체는 작게 해석되었으나 상부 구조물의 경우에는 지진파가 작용하였을 때 응력해방에 기인하여 변위가 가장 많이 발생한 것으로 판단된다.

The lateral stability of bridge foundations against train moving load, emergency stopping load, earthquakes, and so on is very important for a railway bridge foundation. A borehole test is much more accurate than laboratory tests since it is possible to minimize the disturbance of ground conditions on the test site. The representative borehole test methods are Dilatometer, Pressuremeter and Lateral Load Tester, which usually provide force-resistance characteristics in elastic range. In order to estimate P-y curves using those methods, the non-linear characteristics of soil which is one of the most important characteristics of the soil cannot be obtained. Therefore, P-y curves are estimated usually using elastic modulus ($E_O$, $E_R$) of lateral pressure-deformation ratio obtained within the range of elastic behavior. Even though the pile foundation is designed using borehole tests in field to increase design accuracy, it is necessary to use a higher safety factor to improve the reliability of the design. A Large Displacement Borehole Testmeter(LDBT) is developed to measure nonlinear characteristics of the soil in this study. P-y curves can be directly achieved from the developed equipment. Comparisons between measured P-y curves the LDBT developed equipment, theoretical methods based on geotechnical investigations, and back-calculated P-y curves from field tests are shown in this paper. The research result shows that the measured P-y curves using LDBT can be properly matched with back-calculated P-y curves from filed tests by applying scale effects for sand and clay, respectively.

Structural design, in general, is developed through trial and error technique which is guided by standards criteria and based on the intuition and experience of the engineer, a context that leads to structural over-dimensioning, with uneconomic solutions. Aiming to find the optimal design, structural optimization methods have been developed to find a balance between cost, structural safety, and material performance. These methods have become a great opportunity in the steel structural engineering domain since they have as their main purpose is weight minimization, a factor directly correlated to the real cost of the structure. Assuming an objective function of minimum weight with stress and displacement constraints provided by Brazilian standards, the present research proposes the sizing optimization and combined approach of sizing and shape optimization, through a software developed to implement the Simulated Annealing metaheuristic algorithm. Therefore, two steel plane frame layouts, each admitting four typical truss geometries, were proposed in order to expose the difference between the optimal solutions. The assessment of the optimal solutions indicates a notable weight reduction, especially in sizing and shape optimization combination, in which the quantity of design variables is increased along with the search space, improving the efficiency of the optimal solutions achieved.

The failure of slope can cause remarkable damage to either human life or infrastructures. Stabilizing piles are widely utilized to reinforce slope as a slip-resistance structure. The workability of pile-stabilized slopes is affected by various parameters. In this study, the performance of earth slope reinforced with piles and the behavior of piles under static load, by shear reduction strength method using the finite difference software (FLAC^3D) has been investigated. Parametric studies were conducted to investigate the role of pile length (L), different pile distances from each other (S/D), pile head conditions (free and fixed head condition), the effect of sand density (loose, medium, and high-density soil) on the pile behavior, and the performance of pile-stabilized slopes. The performance of the stabilized slopes was analyzed by evaluating the factor of safety, lateral displacement and bending moment of piles, and critical slip mechanism. The results depict that as L increased and S/D reduced, the performance of slopes stabilized with pile gets better by raising the soil density. The greater the amount of bending moment at the shallow depths of the pile in the fixed pile head indicates the effect of the inertial force due to the structure on the pile performance.

This paper introduces the structural and vibration analysis performed in the localization development process of hydraulic pumps used in wheeled armored vehicles. The maximum strain, maximum stress, maximum displacement, and minimum safety factor were calculated using structural analysis. Furthermore, it was found that the dangerous resonance frequency was avoided through vibration analysis. In addition, the reliability of the analysis results was verified by passing various tests, such as the actual vibration test and the actual durability test. The developed hydraulic pump is expected to contribute significantly to the maintenance of military vehicles in the future.

Classic braced walls use struts and wales to minimize ground movements induced by deep excavation. However, the installation of struts and wales is a time-consuming process and confines the work space. To secure a work space around the retaining structure, an anchoring system works in conjunction with a braced wall. However, anchoring cannot perform well when the shear strength of soil is low. In such a case, innovative retaining systems are required in excavation. This study proposes an innovative earth-retaining wall that uses in situ soil confined in dual sheet piles as a structural component. A numerical study was conducted to evaluate the stability of the proposed structure in cohesionless dry soil and establish a design chart. The displacement and factor of safety of the structural member were monitored and evaluated. According to the results, an increase in the clearance distance increases the depth of safe excavation. For a conservative design to secure the stability of the earth-retaining structure in cohesionless dry soil, the clearance distance should exceed 2 m, and the embedded depth should exceed 40% of the wall height. The results suggest that the proposed method can be used for 14 m of excavation without any internal support structure. The design chart can be used for the preliminary design of an earth-retaining structure using in situ soil with dual steel sheet piles in cohesionless dry soil.

Fatigue crack initiated in welded tubular joints due to cyclic loading may produce harmful effect on the integrity of the tubular structures. To study such effect, both fatigue and static tests on nine circular tubular T-joint specimens made of carbon steel materials were carried out. The specimens were subjected to tensile loading in both fatigue and static tests. The load-displacement relation, the crack propagation and the failure mode of the specimens are all analyzed. The deterioration of the static strength of the cracked T-joints is also investigated and evaluated through an area reduction factor. Experimental results indicate that the static strength of a tubular T-joint with a surface crack seems to decrease slightly while a through crack has relatively remarkable effect on the reduction of the static strength. Additionally, experimental results also show that the toughness of the materials and the geometry of the specimens play an important role on the failure process of cracked tubular T-joints.
