  • It has been a well known fact that buildings having inappropriate expansion joints in their spacings may be subject to exterior damages due to extensive cracks on the outer walls under service loads and structural damages due to excessive moment induced by temperature changes at ultimate load conditions. Unfortunately, consistent code provisions are unavailable regarding spacings of expansion joints from different foreign structural codes. And a more serious problem is that no quantitative measurements on spacings is given in our codes for building structures. In order to establish a rational guideline on the spacing of expansion joints, theoretical approaches are taken in this study. The developed theoretical formula is, then, converted to a design chart for structural designers' convenience in its use. The chart considers both service and ultimate load stages.

  • In this paper, an analytical formulation is proposed to predict the vertical vibration response due to the pedestrian walking on a footbridge considering the human-structure interaction, where the footbridge and pedestrian are represented by the Euler beam and linear oscillator model, respectively. The derived coupled equation of motion is a nonlinear fourth-order partial differential equation. An uncoupled solution strategy based on the combined weighted residual and perturbation method) is proposed to reduce the tedious computation, which allows the separate integration between the bridge and pedestrian subsystems. The theoretical study demonstrates that the pedestrian subsystem can be treated as a structural system with added mass, damping, and stiffness. The analysis procedure is then applied to a case study under the conditions of single pedestrian and multi pedestrians, and the results are validated and compared numerically. For convenient vibration design of a footbridge, the simplified peak acceleration formula and the idea of decoupling problem are thus proposed.

  • 원격교육에서 서비스품질은 고객만족과 고객충성도를 높이기 위해 중요한 부분이다. 하지만 이제까지 원격교육 서비스품질에 대한 효과성을 검증함에 있어서 원격교육 서비스품질에 대한 단편적인 효과중심으로 연구되었고 구체적인 대상에 대하여 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선행연구와 차별적으로 취업 준비생들을 대상으로 원격교육 서비스요인이 고객만족도과 고객충성도에 미치는 영향에 대해 실증분석 하였다. 2019년 3월부터 설문조사를 실시하였고 원격교육을 경험한 취업 준비생 258개의 표본을 실증분석에 활용하였다. 분석결과 유형성, 문제해결, 상호작용성, 정보제공성, 편리성은 고객만족에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤고, 만족도은 고객충성도에 정(+)의 유의미한 영향을 미쳤고, 만족도의 매개효과 검증에서 유형성, 문제해결, 상호작용성, 정보제공성, 편리성과 고객충성도 사이에 정(+)의 영향을 미친 것으로 분석되었다. 이에 본 연구의 시사점은 4차 산업혁명시대에 교육과 ICT(정보통신기술)가 융합된 에듀테크 관련 교육기업의 서비스품질 요인이 고객만족과 충성도에 미치는 실질적인 연구를 함으로써 교육기업의 창업과 마케팅 과정에 있어서 창업가와 마케팅 담당자들에게 기업의 원격교육 서비스품질이 고객만족과 고객충성도에 직간접적인 영향을 미친다는 시사점을 도출 할 수 있었다. 또한 서비스품질의 중요성 검증과 다양한 효과에 대한 평가를 취업교육 영역뿐만 아니라 다른 영역에도 다각도로 추가 연구가 필요하겠다.

  • 최근 급속하게 증가하고 있는 초고층 건축물은 바람이나 지진에 의한 횡변위를 효율적으로 제어하는 기술이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 국내의 초고층 주거형 건축물에 주로 사용되는 횡력 저항 구조시스템인 아웃리거 시스템은 별도의 공간을 요구하여 시공이 어렵고 공사 기간이 오래 걸리는 등의 불리한 점들이 있다. 반면 근래에 사용되고 있는 제진 시스템은 동적 하중에 의한 진동에너지를 부가적인 제진장치에 집중시킴으로써 건물의 횡변위를 저감시키며, 댐퍼의 설치도 비교적 용이하다. 또한, 아웃리거 설치와 같은 횡변위 제어시스템은 강성증가로 인해 풍응답이 증가되어 거주자의 불편과 같은 사용성 문제가 발생하기도 하며 이는 다른 추가적인 제어방식을 요구하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초고층 주거형 건축물에 대한 횡변위를 효과적으로 제어하면서 아웃리거시스템을 대체 또는 보완할 수 있는 새로운 방법으로써 다양한 제진장치를 적용하여 각각의 횡변위제어 성능을 검토해보았다.

  • A sliding mode fuzzy control (SMFC) algorithm is applied to design a controller for a benchmark problem on a wind- excited building. The structure is a 76-story concrete office tower with a height of 306 meters, hence the wind resistance characteristics are very important for the serviceability as well as the safety. A control system with an active tuned mass damper is assumed to be installed on the top floor. Since the structural acceleration is measured only at ,limited number of locations without measurement of the wind force, the structure of the conventional continuous sliding mode control may have the feed-back loop only. So, an adaptive least mean squares (LMS) filter is employed in the SMFC algorithm to generate a fictitious feed-forward loop. The adaptive LMS filter is designed based on the information of the stochastic characteristics of the wind velocity along the structure. A numerical study is carried out. and the performance of the present SMFC with the ,adaptive LMS filter is investigated in comparison with those of' other control, of algorithms such as linear quadratic Gaussian control, frequency domain optimal control, quadratic stability control, continuous sliding mode control, and H/sub ∞///sub μ/, control, which were reported by other researchers. The effectiveness of the adaptive LMS filter is also examined. The results indicate that the present algorithm is very efficient .

  • Offshore structures are subjected to wave, wind, and earthquake loads. The failure of offshore structures can cause sea pollution, as well as losses of property and lives. Therefore, safety of the structure is an important issue. The reduction of the dynamic response of offshore towers, subjected wind generated random ocean waves, is a critical problem with respect to serviceability, fatigue life and safety of the structure. In this paper, a structural control method is proposed to control the vibration of offshore structures by the probabilistic neural network (PNN). The state vectors of the structure and control forces are used for training patterns of the PNN, in which control forces are prepared by linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control algorithm. The proposed algorithm is applied to a fixed offshore structure under random ocean waves. Active control of the fixed offshore structure using the PNN control algorithm shows good results.

  • Landslides triggered by rainfall produces severe effects on the serviceability and stability of railway operation. Since small amount of soil mass slipped on the rail can cause derailment which will cause severe danger on the human and trains, slope stability problem is one of the major concerns on the operation of railway. In this study we investigate the some of characteristics of rainfall driven landslide near railroad. A total of 23 sites were visited. From the results four types of landslides based upon the morphology of the slipped slope triggered by rainfall were classified. From the analysis dimensions of slopes (height, length and slope) do not show particular correlation with the types of landslides. In addition, morphological and geological features of slope influence on the occurrence of different types of landslides.

  • The vertical forces in rail fasteners at areas of bridge transitions near the embankment and on the pier will occur due to different deformations of adjoining bridges caused by the trainloads, the settlement of supports, and the temperature gradients. The up-lifting forces is not large problem in the blast track because the elasticity of blast and rail pad buffs up-lifting effect. But, it is likely to be difficult to ensure the serviceability of the railway and the safety of the fastener in the end in that concrete slab track consist of rail, fastener, and track in a single body, delivering directly the up-lifting force to the fastener if the deck is bended because of various load cases, such as the end rotation of the overhang due to the vertical load, the bending of pier due to acceleration/braking force and temperature deviation, the settlement of embankment and pier, the temperature deviation of up-down deck and front-back pier, and the rail deformation due to wheel loads. The analysis of the rail fastener is made to verify the superposed tension forces in the rail fastener due to various load cases, temperature gradients and settlement of supports. The potential critical fasteners with the highest uplift forces are the fastener adjacent to the civil joint. The main influence factors are the geometry of the bridge such as, the beneath length of overhang, relative position of bridge bearing and fastener, deflection of bridge and the vertical spring stiffness of the fastener.

  • A faulting could be occurred at the end of deck by unexpected loads to bridge bearing after a bridge completion. Serviceability of bridges could be impaired by the faulting which is caused structural damage. Therefore, smart bridge bearing which can continuously observe the supporting points is needed. Some of bridge bearings have been developed for measuring vertical load and vertical displacement by installing sensors in the bearing. In those systems, however it is not easy to be replaced with new sensors when repairs are needed. In this study, the smart bridge bearing of which sensors can be replaced has been developed to overcome such a problem. In this study, strain signals were used for measuring both of vertical displacements and loads. FBG sensors(fiber optic Bragg-grating sensors) have been used for measurement of the strain signals since it is prevented from electronic noise by mediating light, enables the simplification of the measuring cable by multiple measurement, and is easy to place by lightweight and small size. The possibility of use was reviewed for smart bridge bearing based on FBG sensors through tests.

  • The identification of damping ratios in buildings is a well-known problem and appears to be of important and crucial interest in the safety and serviceability design. When compared to an estimation of the stiffness, i.e. natural frequency, and mass, the damping ratio is the most difficult quantity to determine. Many previous studies have examined the characteristics of damping ratios from ambient vibration, but the measurement time is roughly within 2 hours. In this paper, characteristics of damping ratios and natural frequencies of 4 story RC building were investigated using long-term ambient vibration. Free vibrations were obtained using random decrement technique, and damping ratios were evaluated by the envelop function, continuous wavelet transform, and logarithmic decrement. It was found that although the natural frequencies show little variations with time, the damping ratios show some variations with time and the largest variations found in the damping ratios obtained from the continuous wavelet transform. The damping ratios from the envelop function showed the smallest mean and standard deviation. And the probability distribution of damping ratios seems to follow the logarithmic normal distribution.
