본 논문은 아이소-지오메트릭 해석에서 h-세분화를 이용한 국부 세분화법과 이에 따른 설계 민감도 해석의 방법론을 연 구하였다. 다중 조밀도 방식을 이용하여 경계면에서 변위 적합조건을 만족하였고, 기존의 아이소-지오메트릭 해석의 텐서곱 으로 인해 발생하는 원치 않는 자유도 증가의 문제를 극복하였다. 해석에서의 변위 적합조건과 마찬가지로, 설계 민감도 해석에서도 변위 결과와 마찬가지로 똑같은 적합조건을 만족하도록 하는 방법론을 제시하였다. 수치 예제를 통하여 본 방법론의 효율성을 입증하였고, 특별히 응력 집중 문제에서의 결과와 민감도 값을 비교하며 경계면에서의 적합조건을 확인하였다.

콘크리트 구조물 표면에 발생하는 균열은 사용자에게 심리적인 불안감을 제공하며, 장기간 열려있는 큰 폭의 균열은 구조 물의 사용성능 및 내구성에 영향을 준다. 국내에서는 건축물을 포함한 시설물의 노후화에 따른 안전관리를 위해 균열정도를 파악하는 조사가 인력에 의한 육안조사로 수행되고 있지만 인력의 고비용성과 객관성 미흡 등의 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 영상분석을 통한 균열 추출 등 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있으나 균열인식 정확도 향상에 2차원 영상 분석만으로는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존 2차원 영상 분석의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 3차원 특성을 정확하게 파악할 수 있는 3차원 광삼각 스캐닝기법을 활용하여 콘크리트 구조물 표면의 균열정보를 획득하는 기법을 개발하였다. 본 하 드웨어의 개발과 더불어 균열 패턴분석을 위한 획득된 균열의 세분화와 균열의 특성분석 알고리즘을 개발하였으며, 이를 실제 콘크리트 빔의 균열 탐지 적용을 통해 검증하였다.

본 논문은 Ni - Al2O3로 구성된 금속-세라믹 이종 입자복합재의 2차원 미세구조(microstructure) 생성과 미세구조 스케일 (scale)에 따라 정의되는 계층적 모델들의 역학적 특성 분석에 관한 내용이다. 이종 입자복합재의 미세구조는 수학적인 RMDF(random morphology description functions) 모델링기법을 복합재의 2차원 RVE(representative volume element) 영 역에 적용하여 생성하였다. 그리고 미세구조 생성에 필요한 가우스 함수들의 개수에 따라 미세구조의 계층적 모델을 정의하였다. 한편 임의 미세구조 내 금속과 세라믹 입자가 차지하는 체적분율(volume fraction)은 RMDF 함수의 레벨을 조정함으로서 설정하였다. RMDF기법에 의한 미세구조들은 가우스 함수들의 개수가 일정할지라도 랜덤하게 생성된다. 이렇게 랜덤 하게 생성되는 미세구조들을 2차원 보(beam) 모델에 적용하여 미세구조의 스케일에 따른 수직응력과 전단응력의 계층적 변 동을 수치 해석적으로 고찰하였다. 또한, 균열해석을 통해 RMDF의 랜덤성과 가우스 함수들의 개수가 균열선단에서의 응력 값에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다.

In current research, it was attempted a preliminary design and evaluation of non-uniform ultra high-strength concrete (UHSC) truss members. UHSC used here has the compressive strength of 180 MPa, the tensile strength of 8 to 20 MPa, and the tensile strain after cracks up to 2%. By the three-dimensional finite element stress analysis as well as strut-tie approach on concrete solid beams, the non-uniform truss shape of UHSC truss was designed with the architectural esthetic concept. In a series of examples, to compare with conventional concrete members, the proposed UHSC truss members have advantages in capabilities of the slender design with minimum weight with high performances under transverse loadings as well as the aesthetically non-uniform design for spatial structures.

The degree of interaction is a very important factor determining stiffness, strength and deflection performance in the composite beam. Because this synthesis is made through the shear connector, the structural performance of the shear connector is very important. In this study, the connection method was developed using the driving pin to solve the problem of conventional welding connection method. To verify the structural performance of the developed connection method, the push-out test was performed and analyzed against numerical analysis results. Based on the results of the analysis, it is deemed that the structural performance can be obtained by joining the shear connection in proposed method.

PURPOSES: The permeable pavement type has been rapidly developed for solving problems regarding traffic noise in the area of housing complex and heavy rainwater drainage in order to account for the climate change. In this regards, the objective of this study is to figure out the characteristics of pavement types. METHODS: The laboratory test for deriving optimum asphalt content (OAC) was conducted using the mixtures of the permeable asphalt surface for the pavement surface from Marshall compaction method. Based on its results, the pavement construction at the test field was conducted. After that, the site performance tests for measuring the traffic noise, strength and permeability were carried out for the relative evaluation in 2 months after the traffic opening. The specific site tests are noble close proximity method (NCPX), Light falling deflectometer test (LFWD) and the compact permeability test. RESULTS : The ordered highest values of the traffic noise level can be found such as normal dense graded asphalt, drainage and porous structure types. In the results from LFWD, the strength values of the porous and drainage asphalt types had been lower, but the strength of normal asphalt structure had relatively stayed high. CONCLUSIONS: The porous structure has been shown to perform significantly better in permeability and noise reduction than others. In addition to this study, the evaluation of the properties and the determination of the optimum thickness for the subgrade course under the porous pavement will be conducted using ground investigation technique in the further research.

In this study, TMD(Tuned Mass Damper) is installed in a retractable-roof spatial structure in order to investigate dynamic response characteristics according to mass ratio and installed position of TMD on large spatial structures. The example analytical model is generated based on the Singapore sports hub stadium. Twenty eight analytical models are used to investigate optimal installation position of TMD for the example retractable-roof spatial structure using 4 to 16 TMDs. The mass of one TMD is set up 1% of total mass at the example analytical model. Displacement response ratio of model with TMD is compared with that of base model without TMD. It has been found from numerical simulation that it is more effective to install TMD at the edge of the spatial structure rather than to concentrate the TMD at the center of the spatial structure.

FRP is a new material that has light, high strength and high durability characteristics and is emerging as a third construction material in and out of countries. However, very few studies have been done on curved FRP construction materials that can be used for tunnels or arched bridges. In particular, many joints are required for the application of curved panels to the open cut tunnel. Experimental data on the performance of the joint is required due to insufficient design criteria. The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural performance of real size, composite materials curved panels. To achieve this goal, curved panels were constructed and bending performance was tested. A numerical analysis was also performed and compared with the results of the test. The results of the test showed that the average load was 757.6 kN and the average displacement of bottom was measured at 53.12 mm. Compression stress on the upper flange and tensile stress on the lower flange were within acceptable limits of 50% of the allowable stress.

The purpose of this study was to develop a carbon fiber sheet with embedded fiber optic sensor for maintenance and performance improvement of aged concrete bridges. The carbon fiber sheet reinforcement method can separate the concrete and the carbon fiber sheet, so it is necessary to investigate the bond performance level. However, separation of concrete and carbon fiber sheet and investigation of concrete scaling phenomenon are carried out by human, so it is difficult to secure objectivity and accurate investigation. Therefore, in this study, a method to confirm the bond level of carbon fiber sheet by reinforcing with a carbon fiber sheet with a fiber optic sensor was examined. In this study, we investigated the strain of fiber optic sensor embedded in carbon fiber sheet to identify the separate point of carbon fiber sheet. The strain measured by fiber optic sensor was measured by numerical analysis. The strain rate of the carbon fiber sheet was compared with that of the carbon fiber sheet. As a result, it was confirmed that the strain was changed at the point where the carbon fiber sheet was separated, and the strain occurred in the carbon fiber sheet was examined to predict the separate point.

This study investigated a bio-tensegrity structural system that combines the characteristics of a general tensegrity structural system with a biological system. The final research objective is to accomplish a changeability for the structural system as like the movement of the natural bio-system. In the study, we present a shape finding procedure for the two stage bio-tensegrity system model inspired by the movement pattern of animal backbone. The proposed system is allowing a dynamic movement by introducing the concept of “saddle” for the variable bio-tensegrity structure. Several shape finding analysis example and results are presented and shows a efficient validation and suitability.

Recently, damage to domestic facilities due to strong winds and typhoons is increasing. This study focused on sign structures among various vulnerable facilities. The evaluation of wind fragility was performed considering the destruction of the anchor for fixing, which is one of the failure modes of the sign structures. The performance evaluation of the anchor for fixing was carried out to derive the wind fragility. Three parameters were set and twelve anchor types were selected to perform the pull-out and shear tests. The resistance performance was estimated based on the experimental results. Wind loads were estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. Based on this, we derive the wind fragility according to the wind exposure category. Finally, the change of the wind exposure category and the evaluation of the wind fragility according to the experimental parameter were performed.
