공력천칭법은 고층건물의 구조풍공학 분야에서 널리 활용되는 수단으로, 풍력실험과 풍하중 해석단계를 명확히 분리 및 연 계하는 체계적인 틀을 제공한다. 기존 방법은 주로 변위응답에 중점을 두었으나, 고층구조물 전반에 걸쳐 중요한 역할을 하는 공력모 멘트의 거동을 간과하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 개선된 모멘트 기반 공력천칭법을 소개한다. 제안 된 방법론은 정교하게 도출된 모드형상 보정계수를 반영하고, 모달스펙트럼해석과 확률론적 진동이론을 연계함으로써 측정된 공력모 멘트응답과 확률적 풍하중 효과 간의 세밀한 관계를 정립한다. 더 나아가, 본 연구에서는 건물 높이에 따라 평균, 비공진 및 공진성분 의 공력모멘트응답을 등가정적풍하중 및 풍응답으로 효과적으로 분배하기 위한 유효참여계수의 도출과정을 개념적·수학적으로 상세 히 다룬다. 이런 포괄적 접근법은 풍하중 산정의 정확도를 향상할 뿐만 아니라, 사용성 설계에 중요한 요소인 변위 및 가속도응답의 예측 개선에도 기여한다. 궁극적으로, 풍공학전문가와 구조설계자에게 더욱 안전하고 회복력 있는 고층건물설계를 위한 고도의 평가 수단을 제공할 것이다.

Existing reinforced concrete buildings with seismically deficient columns experience reduced structural capacity and lateral resistance due to increased axial loads from green remodeling or vertical extensions aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. Traditional performance assessment methods face limitations due to their complexity. This study aims to develop a machine learning-based model for rapidly assessing seismic performance in reinforced concrete buildings using simplified structural details and seismic data. For this purpose, simple structural details, gravity loads, failure modes, and construction years were utilized as input variables for a specific reinforced concrete moment frame building. These inputs were applied to a computational model, and through nonlinear time history analysis under seismic load data with a 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years, the seismic performance evaluation results based on dynamic responses were used as output data. Using the input-output dataset constructed through this process, performance measurements for classifiers developed using various machine learning methodologies were compared, and the best-fit model (Ensemble) was proposed to predict seismic performance.

This study aims to model an accident that occurred at building demolition work sites in Gwangju in 2021 by using functional resonance analysis method(FRAM) and to understand a range of factors contributing to the accident based on the concepts and principles of FRAM and Safety-II. The nature of building demolition works needs to be understood from the viewpoint of socio-technical systems. Not only technical factors but also non-technical factors, including human, organizational, and political factors, and their complicated interrelationships should be considered in the modeling and analysis of accidents happening in the works. Because of the inherent complexity of a demolition works, it is unlikely to specify all of the necessary activities to be conducted in the works and their accountable actors. Additionally, unexpected situations are likely to happen and therefore some activity procedures cannot be followed in a prescribed way, which means that workers sometimes should conduct their activities in an improvisional way. Those characteristics of building demolition works indicate that a traditional accident analysis method based on a linear cause-effect relationship would be inadequate, and that more systemic approaches that can deal with the socio-technical complexities and characteristics of demolition works should be used. With this in mind, we applied FRAM to the accident happening in Gwangju in 2021 and attempted to understand the accident based on the concepts and principles of FRAM and Safety-II (e.g. a functional variablity and its propagation to another function). Lastly, we also suggested ways to enhance the safety of building demolition working sites.

This study presents a seismic fragility assessment methodology incorporating the cumulative damage effects of repeated seismic loading on structures. Conventional seismic fragility assessment methods typically focus on single earthquakes across multiple structures; however, seismic events often occur in sequences, with each event adding cumulative damage that can amplify the overall damage. Ignoring the effects of repeated earthquakes in fragility assessments may lead to underestimating seismic risk. This study proposes a simplified but efficient fragility assessment method that accounts for repeated earthquake effects using probabilistic combinations of each damage state. This procedure applied the capacity spectrum method to consider capacity degradation from displacement caused by prior earthquakes. Applying various earthquake scenarios, this study analyzes the effects of damage accumulation from earthquake occurrence sequences, structural behavior types, and seismic design levels on the fragility of structures under repeated earthquake events.

The electronic structures of graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) were estimated for various shapes, sizes, symmetries, and edge configurations. The Hückel molecular orbital (HMO) method was employed as a convenient way of handling the variety of possible GNF structures, since its simplicity allows the rapid solution of large system problems, such as tailoring optoelectronic characteristics of molecule containing large number of carbon atoms. The HMO method yielded the electronic structures with respect to the energy state eigenvalues, with results comparable to those obtained by other approaches, such as the tightbinding method reported elsewhere. The analyses included the consideration of various types of edge configurations of 68 GNF systems grouped by their geometric shape, reflecting symmetry. It was inferred that GNFs in the small length scale regimes, below 1 nm, which are effectively small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules, exhibit the optoelectronic characteristic of quantum dots. This is due to the widely spaced discrete energy states, together with large energy gaps between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). With increasing size this arrangement evolves into graphene-like ones, as revealed by the narrowing HOMO-LUMO gaps and decreasing energy differences between eigenstates. However, the changes in electronic structure are affected by the symmetries, which are related to the geometric shapes and edge configurations.

In this study, ferric phosphate precursors were prepared by controlling precipitation time, and the resulting LiFe PO4 active materials were thoroughly investigated. Microscale LiFePO4 cathode materials, designed for high energy density at the cell level, were successfully synthesized through a 10 h co-precipitation. As the reaction time increased, smaller primary particles were aggregated more tightly, and the secondary particles exhibited a more spherical shape. Meanwhile, ammonia did not work effectively as a complexing agent. The carbon coated LiFePO4 (LiFePO4/C) synthesized from the 10 h ferric phosphate precursor exhibited larger primary and secondary particle sizes, a lower specific surface area, and higher crystallinity due to the sintering of the primary particles. Enhanced battery performance was achieved with the LiFePO4/C that was synthesized from the precursor with the smaller size, which exhibited the discharge capacity of 132.25 mAh ‧ g-1 at 0.1 C, 70 % capacity retention at 5 C compared with 0.1 C, and 99.9 % capacity retention after the 50th cycle. The better battery performance is attributed to the lower charge transfer resistance and higher ionic conductivity, resulting from smaller primary particle sizes and a shorter Li+ diffusion path.

This paper evaluates the use of Factor Analysis (FA) in English education research in Korea and suggests improvements in methodology. A detailed coding protocol was used to review 179 FA cases from 12 major English education journals (2014-2023). The review identified several key issues, including small sample sizes and lenient criteria for sample size selection, insufficient reporting on data appropriateness and normality, confusion between principal component analysis and FA, overreliance on the Eigenvalue > 1 criterion for determining the number of factors, inappropriate factor rotation methods, inconsistency between factor rotation and extraction methods, inadequate reporting on factor loadings and cross loadings criteria, and excessive reliance on SPSS as a statistical tool for FA. This study provides specific guidelines for applying FA appropriately and reporting results accurately.

The diversity of smart EV(electric vehicle)-related industries is increasing due to the growth of battery-based eco-friendly electric vehicle component material technology, and labor-intensive industries such as logistics, manufacturing, food, agriculture, and service have invested in and studied automation for a long time. Accordingly, various types of robots such as autonomous mobile robots and collaborative robots are being utilized for each process to improve industrial engineering such as optimization, productivity management, and work management. The technology that should accompany this unmanned automobile industry is unmanned automatic charging technology, and if autonomous mobile robots are manually charged, the utility of autonomous mobile robots will not be maximized. In this paper, we conducted a study on the technology of unmanned charging of autonomous mobile robots using charging terminal docking and undocking technology using an unmanned charging system composed of hardware such as a monocular camera, multi-joint robot, gripper, and server. In an experiment to evaluate the performance of the system, the average charging terminal recognition rate was 98%, and the average charging terminal recognition speed was 0.0099 seconds. In addition, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the docking and undocking success rate of the charging terminal, and the experimental results showed an average success rate of 99%.

Organic-inorganic hybrid coating films have been used to increase the transmittance and enhance the physical properties of plastic substrates. Sol-gel organic-inorganic thin films were fabricated on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) substrates using a dip coater. Metal alkoxide precursor tetraethylsilicate (TEOS) and alkoxy silanes including decyltrimethoxysilane (DTMS), 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS), phenyltrimethoxysilane (PTMS), 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPM) and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) were used to synthesize sol-gel hybrid coating solutions. Sol-gel synthesis was confirmed by the results of FT-IR. Cross-linking of the Si-O-Si network during synthesis of the sol-gel reaction was confirmed. The effects of each alkoxy silane on the coating film properties were investigated. All of the organicinorganic hybrid coatings showed improved transmittance of over 90 %. The surface hardness of all coating films on the PMMA substrate was measured to be 4H or higher and the average thickness of the coating films was measured to be about 500 nm. Notably, the TEOS/DTMS coating film showed excellent hydrophobic properties, of about 97°.

The damage to structures during an earthquake can be varied depending on the frequency characteristics of seismic waves and the geological properties of the ground. Therefore, considering such attributes in the design ground motions is crucial. The Korean seismic design standard (KDS 17 10 00) provides design response spectra for various ground classifications. If required for time-domain analysis, ground motion time series can be either selected and adjusted from motions recorded at rock sites in intraplate regions or artificially synthesized. Ground motion time series at soil sites should be obtained from site response analysis. However, in practice, selecting suitable ground motion records is challenging due to the overall lack of large earthquakes in intraplate regions, and artificially synthesized time series often leads to unrealistic responses of structures. As an alternative approach, this study provides a case study of generating ground motion time series based on the hybrid broadband ground motion simulation of selected scenario earthquakes at sites in the Nakdonggang delta region. This research is significant as it provides a novel method for generating ground motion time series that can be used in seismic design and response analysis. For large-magnitude earthquake scenarios close to the epicenter, the simulated response spectra surpassed the 1000-year design response spectra in some specific frequency ranges. Subsequently, the acceleration time series at each location were used as input motions to perform nonlinear 1D site response analysis through the PySeismoSoil Package to account for the site response characteristics at each location. The results of the study revealed a tendency to amplify ground motion in the mid to long-period range in most places within the study area. Additionally, significant amplification in the short-period range was observed in some locations characterized by a thin soil layer and relatively high shear wave velocity soil near the upper bedrock.
