케이블볼트는 장공의 볼트가 필요한 경우나 대용량의 보조지보재로 사용되어졌으나, 지보능력의 상승과 다루기가 용이하다는 점에서 경쟁력을 갖추게 되었다. 다양한 연구로부터 얻어진 실험결과에 근거하여 길이와 고정조건을 변화시켜가며 케이블볼트의 성능을 수치해석적으로 분석하였다. 지보효과는 변위와 숏크리트 응력을 바탕으로 평가하였다. 케이블볼트에 긴장을 가하지 않고 그라우팅만 하였을 때에는 록볼트에 비해 지보효과가 떨어졌다. 그러나 긴장이 가해졌을 경우의 지보능력은 록볼트를 대신하기에 충분하였다. 케이블볼트의 긴장 후에 즉시 그라우팅을 시행하면 지보능력이 오히려 감소되지만 굴착면의 영향을 벗어난 후에 그라우팅을 수행하면 지보능력도 감소되지 않고 장기적인 안정성도 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 주 지보재로서 케이블볼트를 현장에 적용하기 위해서는 보다 다양한 조건에서의 실험실 시험과 현장 시험 등을 포함한 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.

The effects of accidental eccentricity on the seismic response of four-storey steel buildings laterally stabilized by buckling restrained braced frames are studied. The structures have a square, symmetrical footprint, without inherent eccentricity between the center of lateral resistance (CR) and the center of mass (CM). The position of the bracing bents in the buildings was varied to obtain three different levels of torsional sensitivity: low, intermediate and high. The structures were designed in accordance with the seismic design provisions of the 2010 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC). Three different analysis methods were used to account for accidental eccentricity in design: (1) Equivalent Static Procedure with static in-plane torsional moments assuming a mass eccentricity of 10% of the building dimension (ESP); (2) Response Spectrum Analysis with static torsional moments based on 10% of the building dimension (RSA-10); and (3) Response Spectrum Analysis with the CM being displaced by 5% of the building dimension (RSA-5). Time history analyses were performed under a set of eleven two-component historical records. The analyses showed that the ESP and RSA-10 methods can give appropriate results for all three levels of torsional sensitivity. When using the RSA-5 method, adequate performance was also achieved for the low and intermediate torsional sensitivity cases, but the method led to excessive displacements (5-10% storey drifts), near collapse state, for the highly torsionally sensitive structures. These results support the current provisions of NBCC 2010.

In Hong Kong, large-diameter (${\ge}600mm$) bored piles and large-section excavated rectangular barrettes are commonly used to support tall buildings to resist both vertical and horizontal loads. These piles and barrettes penetrate through and may found in saprolitic soils and decomposed rocks. Generally, the design of these large bored piles and barrettes involves considerable amount of uncertainty and design parameters must usually be verified by field tests. In this paper, over 50 full-scale load tests on large-diameter bored piles and over 15 large-section of rectangular barrettes in Hong Kong are reviewed and interpreted critically, in particular the degree of mobilisation of side shear resistance using a mobilization rating (MR) factor and a displacement index (DI) for floating bored piles and barrettes and rock-socketed piles, respectively. The author was heavily involved with many of these load tests. The diameter of the bored piles tested ranges from 0.6m to 1.8m and the depth varies from 12m to 75m. Sizes of barrettes critically reviewed include $2.2m{\times}0.6m,\;2.2m{\times}0.8m,\;2.8m{\times}0.8m\;and\;2.8m{\times}1.0m$ (on plan) and the depth varies from 36m and 63m. Based on these field tests, a new failure load criterion for large-diameter bored piles and barrettes is developed and proposed. The side shear resistance of the bored piles and barrettes is quantitatively analyzed with respect to local displacements, standard penetration tests, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) for rock sockets and using the effective stress principle. In addition, the effects of construction including post-grouting, construction time, side scraping and excavation tools on side shear resistance are investigated and reported.

The use of diverse methods for the retaining system has been continuously increased in order to maintain the stability during excavation. However, ground anchor system occasionally may have the restriction in urban excavation sites nearby the existing structures because of space limitation. In this case, soil nailing system with relatively short length of nails could be efficiently useful as an alternative method. The general soil nailing support system, however, may result in excessive deformations particularly in excavating the zone of weak soils or nearby the existing structures. Therefore, applying the pretension force to the soil nails then could play important roles to reduce deformations mainly in an upper part of the nailed-soil excavation system as well as to improve the local slope stability. In this study, a newly modified soil nailing technology named as the PSN(Pretention Soil Nailing) is developed to reduce both facing displacements and ground surface settlements during top-down excavation process as well as to increase the global slope stability. Up to now, the PSN system has been investigated mainly focusing on an establishment of the design procedure. In the present study, the field tests including pull-out tests were fulfilled to investigate the behavior of characteristics for PSN system. All results of tests were also analyzed to provide a fundamental and efficient design.

광산이 폐광을 하는 경우 배수시스템을 정지함으로 인해 갱도는 물로 포화된다. 갱도가 포화되었을 때 갱도 주변의 암석은 완전히 포화되고 갱도 주변 암반에는 수압이 작용한다. 암석의 일축압축강도는 함수율에 따라 달라지며 함수율이 증가함에 따라 감소한다. 수압은 암석 내 균열이나 암반 내 불연속면의 확장을 유발하게 된다. 갱도 내 포화된 수압이 지보압을 발휘할 수도 있지만 지하수에 의해 발생한 암반 물성의 저하는 갱도의 안정성을 감소시킬 것이다. 본 연구에서는 수압에 의해 발생한 갱도 주변 암반의 물성 저하가 갱도의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 2차원 불연속해석과 3차원 연속해석을 실시하였다. 수치해석 결과 수압에 의해 유발된 갱도 주변 암반의 물성 저하는 갱도 주변 암반의 변위 증가에 영향을 미치고, 2차원 해석 결과는 3차원 해석 결과 보다 큰 변위를 나타냈다.

A polypyrrole (PPy)/alumina composite filler prepared via in-situ polymerization of pyrrole on alumina particles was incorporated into $Nafion^{(R)}$ to improve the performance of ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuators. The IPMCs with the pristine PPy without alumina support did not show bending displacements superior to that of the bare Nafion-based IPMC, except at a high PPy content of 4 wt%. This result was attributed to the low redox efficiency of the PPy alone in the IPMC and may have also been related to the modulus of the IPMC. However, at the optimized filler contents, the cyclic displacement of the IPMCs bearing the PPy/alumina filler was 2.2 times larger than that of the bare Nafion-based IPMC under an applied AC potential of 3 Vat 1 Hz. Even under a low AC potential of 1.5 V at 1 Hz, the displacement of the PPy/alumina-based IPMCs was a viable level of performance for actuator applications and was 2.7 times higher than that of the conventional Nafion-based IPMC. The generated blocking force was also improved with the PPy/aiumina composite filler. The greatly enhanced performance and the low-voltage-operational characteristic of the IPMCs bearing the PPy/alumina filler were attributed to the synergic effects of the neighboring alumina moiety near the PPy moiety involving electrochemical redox reactions.

Slabs in buildings and bridge decks, which are restrained against lateral displacements at the edges, have ultimate strengths far in excess of those predicted by analytical methods based on yield line theory. The increase in strength has been attributed to membrane action, which is due to the in-plane forces developed at the supports. The benefits of compressive membrane action are usually not taken into account in currently available design methods developed based on plastic flow theories assuming concrete to be a rigid-plastic material. By extending the existing knowledge of compressive membrane action, it is possible to design slabs in building and bridge structures economically with less than normal reinforcement. Recent research on building and bridge structures reflects the importance of membrane action in design. This paper describes the finite element modelling of membrane action in reinforced concrete slabs through optimisation of a simple concrete model. Through a series of parametric studies using the simple concrete model in the finite element simulation of eight fully clamped concrete slabs with significant membrane action, a set of fixed numerical model parameter values is identified and computational conditions established, which would guarantee reliable strength prediction of arbitrary slabs. The reliability of the identified values to simulate membrane action (for prediction purposes) is further verified by the direct simulation of 42 other slabs, which gave an average value of 0.9698 for the ratio of experimental to predicted strengths and a standard deviation of 0.117. A 'deflection factor' is also established for the slabs, relating the predicted peak deflection to experimental values, which, (for the same level of fixity at the supports), can be used for accurate displacement determination. The proposed optimised concrete model and finite element procedure can be used as a tool to simulate membrane action in slabs in building and bridge structures having variable support and loading conditions including fire. Other practical applications of the developed finite element procedure and design process are also discussed.

In-place analysis for offshore platforms is required to make proper design for new structures and true assessment for existing structures. In addition, ensure the structural integrity of platforms components under the maximum and minimum operating loads and environmental conditions. In-place analysis was carried out to verify the robustness and capability of structural members with all appurtenances to support the applied loads in either operating condition or storm conditions. A nonlinear finite element analysis is adopted for the platform structure above the seabed and the pile-soil interaction to estimate the in-place behavior of a typical fixed offshore platform. The SACS software is utilized to calculate the natural frequencies of the model and to obtain the response of platform joints according to in-place analysis then the stresses at selected members, as well as their nodal displacements. The directions of environmental loads and water depth variations have an important effect on the results of the in-place analysis behavior. The influence of the soil-structure interaction on the response of the jacket foundation predicts is necessary to estimate the loads of the offshore platform well and real simulation of offshore foundation for the in-place analysis. The result of the study shows that the in-place response investigation is quite crucial for safe design and operation of offshore platform against the variation of environmental loads.

본 연구에서는 전단면굴착에 가까운 작업 사이클(cycle)로 굴진을 하면서 분할효과를 거두기 위해 적절한 벤치길이를 결정하는 것이 중요한 요소로 판단하여 전단면, 미니벤치, 숏벤치로 풍화암 구간에 굴착한 터널을 모델링하여 이에 대해 3차원 탄소성해석을 수행하였다. 그리고 터널내 암반과 지보재의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 요소로 무지보 굴착구간의 길이, 측압계수, 숏크리트 두께 등의 설계변수를 변화시켜가며 암반의 변형거동을 분석하였다. 해석결과 내공변위는 숏벤치보다 미니벤치일때 벤치길이에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났으며 무지보길이가 길 때 하반굴착이 상반변위에 미치는 영향이 더 크게 나타나며 상반과하반측벽에서의 변위타이가증가하였다 K값의 증가에 따라 천정, 바닥보다 상하반 측벽부에서 변위와 선행변위비의 증가가 훨씬 크게 나타났다.

최근 기술적인 발전과 더불어 경제적이고 신속한 시공성 그리고 내진성능 향상을 위하여 별도의 말뚝캡을 설치하지 않고 말뚝과 기둥을 하나의 부재로 사용하는 이른바 말뚝기초-교각의 일체화구조(Pier-Shafts)가 국 내외에서 많이 적용되고 있다. Pier-Shafts의 경우, 기초부분이 기존의 기초형식과는 달리 고정화되어 있지 않기 때문에 가상고정점 또는 탄성지반상의 보 이론에 기초한 해석법 등 종전의 단순해석법이 적용되지 않으며, 구조물과 지반 사이의 상호작용을 고려하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 또한, 상 하부의 일체화에 따른 연속성 등 구조적인 특성으로 인해 큰 수평 변위가 발생될 수 있기 때문에 횡방향 거동에 관한 정밀한 검토가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 구성모델, 지반 구성모델 및 두께를 갖는 탄소성 경계면 모델을 적용한 유한요소해석 프로그램을 이용하여 다양한 지반층을 고려한 Pier-Shafts의 거동을 분석하였으며, 기존의 실험 및 해석결과와 비교.검토하여 해석기법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한, 지진하중을 받는 Pier-Shafts의 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 지반을 고려한 전체 Pier-Shafts 시스템에 대한 내진해석을 실시하였다.
