본 논문에서는 강섬유 혼입량과 강섬유 형상비에 대한 강섬유보강콘크리트의 휨 피로거동을 분석하기 위하여 일련의 강섬유보강콘크리트 시험체에 대하여 피로실험을 수행하였다. 피로실험은 3점 휨 실험법으로 실시하였으며, 실험시 각 시험체의 하중반복회수에 대한 중앙처짐과 피로파괴시의 반복회수를 조사하였다. 이들 실험 결과를 토대로 반복회수에 대한 강섬유보강콘크리트의 중앙처짐, 비탄성변형에너지 및 탄성변형형에너지등을 비교 분석하였으며, 강섬유보강콘크리트의 S-N선도를 작도하였다. 연구결과, 강섬유 혼입량이 클수록 영구변형에 손실되는 에너지가 크게 감소하고, 균열 확대에 소모되는 에너지가 증가하였으며, 동일한 강섬유 혼입량을 갖는 강섬유콘크리트의 경우 강섬유 형상비가 클수록 탄성변형에너지는 작았다. 아울러 본 피로실험 결과를 회귀분석하여 구한 S-N선도에 의하면 강섬유 혼입량이 1.0%인 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 반복회수 200만회에 대한 피로초기균열 발생시의 정적강도의 약 70%로 나타났다.

최근 교량분야에서는 강교량의 합리적인 개선을 위해 복잡한 구조의 단순화 및 표준화 방안으로 거더수를 최소화하여 시공성 및 유지보수성을 향상시킨 소수거더교에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 소수 거더교는 거더수를 최소화하여 미관상 유리하며, 다주형교에 비해 상대적으로 부재수가 줄어들게 되어 제작 상에도 유리하다. 그러나 바닥판의 지간과 캔틸레버의 길이가 길어지게 되어 장지간 바닥판의 성능확보에 대한 검증이 필요하며, 다주형교에 비해 형고가 증가하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 한계를 극복하고 소수거더교의 구조적 성능을 극대화하기 위하여 기존 현장타설 바닥판을 대체하여 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판을 적용하였다. 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판은 공장에서 제작하므로 고강도, 고내구성의 고품질 바닥판 생산이 가능하다. 또한 내부긴장재에 의해 도입된 압축응력으로 인해 단순교 뿐만 아니라 연속교의 부모멘트 구간에서도 바닥판의 전단면이 유효하여, 바닥판의 단면을 주거더 단면의 일부로 고려할 수 있으므로 강거더의 중량 뿐만 아니라 형고를 경감시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판을 적용한 소수거더교의 설계개념과 이를 적용한 부산-거제 연결도로 현장의 저도교, 전주우회도로 현장의 구증교의 설계사례에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

채널 간격이 균등한 WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 4-광파 혼합(FWM ; Four-Wave Mixing)의 영향을 가장 많이 받는 중간 채널의 MSSI(Mid-Span Spectral Inversion)를 통한 보상 특성을 채널 입력 전력, 광섬유 분산 계수, 전송 거리 변화에 따라 살펴보았다. MSSI를 위한 전체 전송 링크 중간에 위치한 광 위상 공액기의 비선형 매질로는 광대역 전송을 가능하게 하는 HNL-DSF(Highly Nonlinear Dispersion Shifted fiber)를 사용했다. 우선 변조 파형의 형식에 상관없이 WDM 시스템의 광섬유 분산 계수가 클수록 FWM에 의한 채널 간섭의 영향을 줄일 수 있다는 것과 이 경우 WDM 채널 수에 상관없는 고전력 전송은 변조 파형 형식으로 RZ를 사용함으로써 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 WDM 채널 수 변동에 대한 유연한 시스템 구축을 위해서는 변조 파형 형식으로 NRZ를 사용하는 것이 유리하다는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a modelling technique for the nonlinear analysis of composite steel-concrete beams with partial shear interaction. It extends the applicability of two stiffness elements previously derived by the authors using the direct stiffness method, i.e. the 6DOF and the 8DOF elements, to account for material nonlinearities. The freedoms are the vertical displacement, the rotation and the slip at both ends for the 6DOF stiffness element, as well as the axial displacement at the level of the reference axis for the 8DOF stiffness element. The solution iterative scheme is based on the secant method, with the convergence criteria relying on the ratios of the Euclidean norms of both forces and displacements. The advantage of the approach is that the displacement and force fields of the stiffness elements are extremely rich as they correspond to those required by the analytical solution of the elastic partial interaction problem, thereby producing a robust numerical technique. Experimental results available in the literature are used to validate the finite element proposed in the paper. For this purpose, those reported by Chapman and Balakrishnan (1964), Fabbrocino et al. (1998, 1999) and Ansourian (1981) are utilised; these consist of six simply supported beams with a point load applied at mid-span inducing positive bending moment in the beams, three simply supported beams with a point load applied at mid-span inducing negative bending moment in the beams, and six two-span continuous composite beams respectively. Based on these comparisons, a preferred degree of discretisation suitable for the proposed modelling technique expressed as a function of the ratio between the element length and depth is proposed, as is the number of Gauss stations needed. This allows for accurate prediction of the nonlinear response of composite beams.

본 논문에서는 다중 체인구조를 이용한 P2P 기반 IPTV 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 P2P 네트워크의 특징인 peer의 빈번한 가입과 탈퇴 상황에서 단순한 과정으로 네트워크를 재구성하는 장점이 있다. 인터넷과는 달리 ISP가 관리하는 IPTV 환경은 전송회선의 속도와 안정성이 일정수준으로 보장되어 있다. 따라서 IPTV 환경에서의 P2P 네트워크는 단순성 측면을 우선적으로 고려해야 한다. 기존에 제안되어있는 단일 체인구조는 단순성을 강조하였으나 같은 채널을 시청하는 peer의 개수가 증가하면 체인의 끝 부분에 연결되어 있는 peer는 상당한 delay가 발생한다. 제안하는 시스템은 이러한 delay 문제를 해결하기 위하여 체인을 여러 개의 레벨로 분리하고 각 레벨은 다시 span으로 나누었다. 레벨과 span으로 분리를 하였지만 기본적인 구조는 체인구조이므로 peer가 join 하거나 departure 할 경우에 단순한 네트워크의 재구성 과정을 제공한다. 수치적인 해석을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 다중 체인구조를 이용한 P2P 시스템이 단일 체인구조 방식에 비해 delay 및 신뢰도 성능이 우수하다는 것을 보여준다.

Salt spray, CASS(copper accelerated acetic salt spray) and EC(electrolytic corrosion) tests were performed in order to evaluate the corrosion resistance of plated Ni and Ni-Cr layers on Fe substrate. Compared with the conventional methods such as salt spray and CASS, the electrochemical method such as EC test may be beneficial in terms of test time span and quantitative accuracy. Furthermore, EC test can also become the alternative method to evaluate the resistance to corrosion of coatings by measuring the corrosion potentials of the coated layers in the electrolyte during the off-time of EC cycles. Compared with the corrosion potentials of pure iron, nickel, chromium, those potentials of coated layers can be used to anticipate the extent of corrosion. Results showed that in terms of the test time span, EC test gave 14 times and 21 times faster results than the salt spray test in cases of $5\mu\textrm{m}$ Ni and $20\mu\textrm{m}$ Ni plated layers, respectively. In addition, EC test also offered the shorter test time span than CASS test in cases of $5 \mu\textrm{m}$ Ni + $0.5\mu\textrm{m}$ Cr, and $20\mu\textrm{m}$ Ni + $0.5\mu\textrm{m}$ Cr on Fe substrate by 78 times and 182 times, respectively. Therefore, EC test can be regarded as the better method to evaluate the resistance to corrosion of coated layers than the conventional methods such as salt spray and CASS.

As infrastructure ages and traffic load increases, serious public concerns have arisen for the well-being of bridges. The current health monitoring practice focuses on large-scale bridges rather than short span bridges. However, it is critical that more attention should be given to these behind-the-scene bridges. The relevant information about the construction methods and as-built properties are most likely missing. Additionally, since the condition of a bridge has unavoidably changed during service, due to weathering and deterioration, the material properties and boundary conditions would also have changed since its construction. Therefore, it is not appropriate to continue using the design values of the bridge parameters when undertaking any analysis to evaluate bridge performance. It is imperative to update the model, using finite element (FE) analysis to reflect the current structural condition. In this study, a FE model is established to simulate a concrete culvert bridge in New South Wales, Australia. That model, however, contains a number of parameter uncertainties that would compromise the accuracy of analytical results. The model is therefore updated with a neural network (NN) optimisation algorithm incorporating Monte Carlo (MC) simulation to minimise the uncertainties in parameters. The modal frequency and strain responses produced by the updated FE model are compared with the frequency and strain values on-site measured by sensors. The outcome indicates that the NN model updating incorporating MC simulation is a feasible and robust optimisation method for updating numerical models so as to minimise the difference between numerical models and their real-world counterparts.

There are many studies on the optimization of steel trusses in literature; and, a large number of them include a shape optimization. However, only a few of these studies are focused on the prestressed steel trusses. Therefore, this paper aims to determine the amounts of the material and cost savings in steel plane trusses in the case of prestressing. A parallel-chord simply supported steel truss is handled as an example to evaluate the used approach. It is considered that prestressing tendon is settled under the bottom bar, between two end supports, using deviators. Cross-sections of the truss members and height of the truss are taken as the design variables. The prestress losses are calculated in two steps as instantaneous losses and time-dependent losses. Tension increment in prestressing tendon due to the external loads is also considered. A computer program based on genetic algorithm is developed to solve the optimization problem. The handled truss is optimized for different span lengths and different tendon eccentricities using the coded program. The effects of span length and eccentricity of tendon on prestressed truss optimization are investigated. The results of different solutions are compared with each other and those of the non-prestressed solution. It is concluded that the amounts of the material and the cost of a steel plane truss can be reduced up to 19.9% and 14.6%, respectively, by applying prestressing.

One of the biggest problems affecting bridges is the transverse cracking and deterioration of concrete bridge decks. The causes of early age cracking are primarily attributed to plastic shrinkage, temperature effects, autogenous shrinkage, and drying shrinkage. The cracks can be influenced by material characteristics, casting sequence, formwork, climate conditions, geometry, and time dependent factors. The cracking of bridge decks not only creates unsightly aesthetic condition but also greatly reduces durability. It leads to a loss of functionality, loss of stiffness, and ultimately loss of structural safety. This investigation consists of field, laboratory, and analytical phases. The experimental and field testing investigate the early age transverse cracking of bridge decks and evaluate the use of sealant materials. The research identifies suitable materials, for crack sealing, with an ability to span cracks of various widths and to achieve performance criteria such as penetration depth, bond strength, and elongation. This paper also analytically examines the effect of a wide range of parameters on the development of cracking such as the number of spans, the span length, girder spacing, deck thickness, concrete compressive strength, dead load, hydration, temperature, shrinkage, and creep. The importance of each parameter is identified and then evaluated. Also, the AASHTO Standard Specification limits liveload deflections to L/800 for ordinary bridges and L/1000 for bridges in urban areas that are subject to pedestrian use. The deflection is found to be an important parameter to affect cracking. A set of recommendations to limit the transverse deck cracks in bridge decks is also presented.

Purpose: Majority of bridges and roads in Gangwon Province have been carrying loads associated with heavy materials such as rocks, mining products, and cement. This location-specific live loads have contributed to the present situation of overloading, compared to other provinces in Korea. However, the bridges in Gangwon province are designed by national bridge design specification, without considering the location-specific live load characteristics. Therefore, this study focuses on the real traffic data accumulated on regional weighing station to verify the live load characteristics, including actual live load gross vehicle weight, axle weight axle spacings, and number of trucks. Methods: In order to take into account the location specific live load, a governmental weigh station (38th national highway Miro) have been selected and the passing truck data are processed. Based on the truck survey, trucks are categorized into 3 different shapes, and each shape has been idealized into normal distribution. Then, the resulting survey data are processed to predict the target maximum live load values, including the axle loads and gross vehicle weights in 75 years service life span. Results: The results are compared to the nationally used DB-24 live loads, and the results show that nationally recognized DB-24 live load does not sufficiently represent real traffic in mountaineous region in Gangwon province. Conclusion: The comparison results in the recommendation of location-specific live load that should be taken into account for bridge design and evaluation.
