Oil storage tanks are vital life-line structures, suffered significant damages during past earthquakes. In this study, a numerical model for an unanchored vertical vaulted-type tank was established by ANSYS software, including the tank-liquid coupling, nonlinear uplift and slip effect between the tank bottom and foundation. Four actual earthquakes recorded at different soil sites were selected as input to study the dynamic characteristics of the tank by nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis, including the elephant-foot buckling, the liquid sloshing, the uplift and slip at the bottom. The results demonstrate that, obvious elephant-foot deformation and buckling failure occurred near the bottom of the tank wall under the seismic input of Class-I and Class-IV sites. The local buckling failure appeared at the location close to the elephant-foot because the axial compressive stress exceeded the allowable critical stress. Under the seismic input of Class-IV site, significant nonlinear uplift and slip occurred at the tank bottom. Large amplitude vertical sloshing with a long period occurred on the free surface of the liquid under the seismic wave record at Class-III site. The seismic properties of the storage tank were affected by site class and should be considered in the seismic design of large tanks. Effective measures should be taken to reduce the seismic response of storage tanks, and ensure the safety of tanks.

The design challenges when attempting to obtain sufficient strength for a deepwater steel catenary riser (SCR) include high stress near the hang-off location, an elevated beam-column buckling load due to the effective compression in the touchdown zone (TDZ), and increased stress and low-cycle fatigue damage in the TDZ. Therefore, a systematic strength analysis is required for the proper design of an SCR. However, deepwater SCR analysis is a new research area. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop an overall analysis procedure for a deepwater SCR. The structural behavior of a deepwater SCR under various environmental loading conditions was investigated, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted with respect to various parameters such as the SCR weight, weight of the internal contents, hang-off angle (HOA), and vertical soil stiffness. Based on a deepwater SCR design example, it was found that the maximum stress of an SCR occurred at a hang-off location under parallel loading direction with respect to the riser plane, except for a wave dominant dynamic survival loading condition. Furthermore, the tensile stress governed the total stress of the SCRs, whereas the bending stress governed the total stress at the TDZ. The weight of the SCR and internal contents affected the maximum stress of the SCR more than the HOA and vertical soil stiffness, because the weight of the SCR, including the internal contents, was directly related to its tensile stress.

In this study, finite element analyses were performed by applying a stress ring and split die design to relieve the tensile stress acting on the die due to high surface pressure during warm-closed forging. The applied material was a yield-ratio-control-steel (YRCS). It was used without quenching or tempering after forging. In the case of stress rings design, the number of stress rings and the tolerance for shrink fit were different. Vertical and horizontal splits were applied for insert die split design. Case 5 die with three stress rings, 0.2 % shrink fit tolerance, and vertical split was selected as an effective die design for tensile stress reduction. Based on die stress reduction analyses, Case 5 die for warm-closed forging was produced and smooth forgeability was secured, making it possible to manufacture forging product of yoke with the required geometry. In addition, controlled cooling using warm forging heat was applied to secure mechanical properties of yokes. When oil cooling was used for direct controlled cooling after warm-closed forging, a relatively uniform Rockwell hardness distribution and high mechanical properties could be obtained.

지진해일파(tsunami)에 의한 피해로 소중한 인명손실뿐만 아니라 침수 범람에 의한 가옥과 같은 건물의 유실, 그리고 방파제, 교량 및 항만과 같은 사회간접자본의 심각한 파괴 등을 들 수 있다. 본 연구의 대상인 연안구조물에서 피해원인으로 먼저 큰 작용파력을 고려할 수 있지만, 또한 기초지반에서 세굴과 액상화와 같은 지반파괴를 고려할 수 있다. 진동성분과 잔류성분으로 구성되는 과잉간극수압의 증가에 따른 유효응력의 감소로 해저지반 내에 액상화의 가능성이 나타나고, 액상화가 발생되면 그의 진행에 따라 구조물의 침하 혹은 전도에 의해 종국적으로 구조물이 파괴될 가능성이 높아지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 수위차를 이용하여 단파를 발생시키고, 그의 전파 및 직립호안과의 상호작용을 2D-NIT(Two-Dimensional Numerical Irregular wave Tank)모델로부터 해석한다. 이러한 결과로부터 직립호안 및 해저지반상에서 시간변동의 동파압을 지반의 동적응답과 구조물의 동적거동을 정밀하게 재현 할 수 있는 유한요소법에 기초한 탄 소성해저지반응답의 수치해석프로그램인 FLIP(Finite element analysis LIquefaction Program)모델에 입력치로 적용하여 해저지반 및 직립호안의 주변에서 과잉간극수압비와 유효응력경로의 시 공간변화, 지반변형, 구조물의 변위 및 지반액상화 등을 정량적으로 평가하여 직립호안의 안정성을 평가한다.

Shear wave velocities of three selected sandy soils subject to drained triaxial compression test were continuously measured using the bender elements. The shear wave velocity during isotropic compression, as widely recognized, increased as confining pressure increased and they were correlated well. However, during drained shearing, the mean effective stress could no further provide a suitable correlation. The shear wave velocity during this stage was almost constant with respect to the mean effective stress. The vertical stress was found to be more favorable at this stage (since confining stress was kept constant). When sample was attained its peak stress, the shear wave velocity reduced and deviated from the previously existed trend line. This was probably caused by the non-uniformity induced by the formation of shear band. Subsequently, void ratios computed based on external measurements could not provide reasonable fitting to the initial stage of post-peak shear wave velocity. At very large strain levels after shear band formation, the digital images revealed that sample may internally re-arrange itself to be in a more uniform loose stage. This final stage void ratio estimated based on the proposed correlation derived during pre-peak state was close to the value of the maximum void ratio.

본 연구는 유 가스 저류층의 암석 투과도 분석을 위해 다양한 층리를 가진 암석과 치밀사암(tight sandstone)을 이용하여 실제 현장의 응력조건을 고려한 암석 투과도를 연구하였다. 다양한 층리를 고려하기 위하여 수평/수직 층리(horizontal & vertical bedding) 및 층리가 존재하지 않는(non-bedding) 암석 시료를 사용하였으며, 균열이 존재하는 저류층의 암석 투과도를 연구하고자 인공균열을 생성시킨 치밀사암을 사용하였다. 실제 심도에서 암석이 받는 유효응력(effective stress)을 암석 투과도 실험에 구현하기 위해 삼축 압력셀을 이용하여 심도별 암석투과도 실험을 수행하였다. 암석 시료에 가해지는 유효응력 및 공극압으로 구분하여 응력조건을 고려하였다. 실험은 두 가지 형태의 응력 해방조건을 고려하여 실시하였다. 또한 암석 투과도 개선을 위한 균열 지지제(proppant)를 주입해 응력조건별 균열 암석 투과도 변화 양상을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 층리 암석투과도에서는 층리가 존재하지 않는 암석 시료가 응력에 가장 민감하게 반응하였으며, 균열 암석 투과도에서는 균열 지지제 주입 유무에 따라 암석 투과도 값이 크게 달라지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Vertical drains have been commonly used to increase the rate of the consolidation of dredged material. The installation of vertical drains additionally provides a radial flow path in the dredged foundation. The objective of this study develops a numerical model for 2-D axisymmetric non-linear finite strain consolidation considering self-weight consolidation to predict the effect of vertical drain in dredged foundation which is in process of self-weight consolidation. The non-linear relationship between the void ratio and effective stress and permeability during consolidation are taken into account in the numerical model. The results of the numerical analysis are compared with that of the self-weight consolidation test in which an artificial vertical drain is installed. In addition, the numerical model developed in this paper is the simplified analytical method proposed by Ahn et, al (2010). The comparisons show that the developed numerical model can properly simulate the consolidation of the dredged material with the vertical drains installed.

In the mechanistic-empirical trackbed design of railways, the resilient modulus is the key input parameter. This study focused on the resilient modulus prediction model, which is the functions of mean effective principal stress and axial strain, for three types of railroad trackbed materials such as crushed stone, weathered soil, and crushed-rock soil mixture. The model is composed with the maximum Young's modulus and nonlinear values for higher strain in parallel with dynamic shear modulus. The maximum values is modeled by model parameters, $A_E$ and the power of mean effective principal stress, $n_E$. The nonlinear portion is represented by modified hyperbolic model, with the model parameters of reference strain, ${\varepsilon}_r$ and curvature coefficient, a. To assess the performance of the prediction models proposed herein, the elastic response of a test trackbed near PyeongTaek, Korea was evaluated using a 3-D nonlinear elastic computer program (GEOTRACK) and compared with measured elastic vertical displacement during the passages of freight and passenger trains. The material types of sub-ballasts are crushed stone and weathered granite soil, respectively. The calculated vertical displacements within the sub-ballasts are within the order of 0.6mm, and agree well with measured values with the reasonable margin. The prediction models are thus concluded to work properly in the preliminary investigation.

본 연구는 표준 개방한우사 설계도에서 제시된 처마의 길이보다 짧게 개방한우사의 처마가 시설되었을 때 지붕의 기울기와 동일하게 처마를 연장하는 것과 기둥 위치에서 수직으로 비가림시설을 하는 경우, 어느 우사가 우의 더위 스트레스 경감, 우방 바닥 건조, 비 들이침 및 환기효율에 더 유리한지를 규명하기 위하여 표준길이의 처마와 3종의 비가림 시설을 대상으로 computational fluid dynamics (CFD) 시뮬레이션기법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 여름철의 평균 풍속인 1.2 m/s에 근거하여 시뮬레이션을 한 결과, 여러 형태로 수직 비가림시설을 설치하는 것보다 표준 처마길이로 시공하는 것이 환기 및 풍속분포가 양호하였다. 따라서 수직으로 비가림시설을 하는 것보다는 축사 표준설계도에 제시된 처마 길이 정도까지 지붕의 기울기와 같게 처마를 연장하는 것이 유리하다.
