The bored tunneling method is generally preferred for urban tunnel construction, However the cut & cover tunnel is still necessary for special conditions, such as metro station and access structures. In some case, deep excavation for cut & cover construction is planed of irregular and unusual shape, as a consequence, the convex and concave corner is often encountered during that excavation. In particular, discontinuity or imbalance of the support structure in the convex corner can lead to collapse, which may result in damages and casualties. In this study, the behavior of the convex corner of retaining structure were investigated using 3-dimensional numerical models established to be able to simulate the split-shaped behavior of convex corners. To improve the stability in the vicinity of the convex corner, several stabilizing measures were proposed and estimated numerically. It is found that linking two discretized wales at the convex corner can effectively perform the control of deformation. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that the stabilizing measures can be enhanced when the tie-material linking two discretized wales is installed at the depth of the maximum wall deflection.

In this study, we investigate terahertz (THz) generation by a photoconductive antenna with electrodes in the shape of split-ring resonators. According to our theoretical investigation based on a lumped-circuit model, the inductance of this electrode structure leads to resonant behavior of the photo-induced current. Hence, near the resonance frequency the spectral components generated by a resonant photoconductive antenna can be greater than those produced by a non-resonant one. For experimental verification, a resonant photoconductive antenna, which possesses a resonance mode at 0.6 THz, and a non-resonant photoconductive antenna with stripe-shaped electrodes were fabricated on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. The THz generation by both of the photoconductive antennas demonstrated a good agreement with the theoretically expected results. The observed relationship between the resonant electrodes of the photoconductive antenna and the generated THz spectrum can be further employed to design a narrow-band THz source with an on-demand frequency.

초간편 강합성 바닥판은 H형강을 거더로 활용하면서 교량가설시 H형강의 횡-비틀림 좌굴을 방지하고 공기를 단축시키기 위하여 개발하였다. 또한 초간편 강합성 바닥판과 H형강 거더의 합성거동을 확보하기 위하여 사용되는 전단연결재를 초간편 강합성 바닥판의 강판과 H형강 거더의 연결방식에 따라 연결볼트를 길게 뽑아 스터드를 대체하여 전단연결재로 사용하는 방식과 유공I형강을 전단연결재로 활용하는 방식으로 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 이렇게 개발한 신형식 전단연결재에 대한 전단내력 평가를 위하여 Push-Out 실험을 실시하고, 기존 전단연결재의 전단내력 평가식과 비교 분석하였다. Push-Out 실험을 통하여 연결볼트는 스터드와 같은 거동을 하는 것으로 확인하였으며, 도로교 설계기준의 전단내력 평가식은 지름이 큰 연결볼트의 전단내력을 과대평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 용접량의 변화에 따른 유공I형강의 Push-Out 실험에서는 용접량이 적은 경우에는 용접부의 전단내력이 지배하였으나, 용접량이 일정정도 이상인 경우에는 일정한 전단내력을 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다.
