With respect to spent nuclear fuels, disposal containers and bentonite buffer blocks in deep geological disposal systems are the primary engineered barrier elements that are required to isolate radioactive toxicity for a long period of time and delay the leakage of radio nuclides such that they do not affect human and natural environments. Therefore, the thermal stability of the bentonite buffer and structural integrity of the disposal container are essential factors for maintaining the safety of a deep geological disposal system. The most important requirement in the design of such a system involves ensuring that the temperature of the buffer does not exceed 100℃ because of the decay heat emitted from high-level wastes loaded in the disposal container. In addition, the disposal containers should maintain structural integrity under loads, such as hydraulic pressure, at an underground depth of 500 m and swelling pressure of the bentonite buffer. In this study, we analyzed the thermal stability and structural integrity in a deep geological disposal environment of the improved deep geological disposal systems for domestic light-water and heavy-water reactor types of spent nuclear fuels, which were considered to be subject to direct disposal. The results of the thermal stability and structural integrity assessments indicated that the improved disposal systems for each type of spent nuclear fuel satisfied the temperature limit requirement (< 100℃) of the disposal system, and the disposal containers were observed to maintain their integrity with a safety ratio of 2.0 or higher in the environment of deep disposal.

This study aims to respond to the market of Tata Daewoo commercial vehicles in emerging countries (Southeast Asia) lightweight and cost-saving type for the production of dump trucks with secured price competitiveness requested to develop a square deck, and accordingly. This study is a 15-ton dump modified the reinforcement frame of the side gate to reduce the weight of the new truck model deck. It is designed to maintain the strength of 80% or more of the existing gate by (reducing input material). The system and structure rationalization proceeded.

In this study, the structural analyses were conducted for each model by applying the loads into the design of a large commercial truck seat. Model C with three vertical frames has the smallest total deformation among all models, indicating the strongest stiffness. The maximum total deformation of model C was shown to be 0.68 times smaller than that of model A and 0.79 times smaller than that of model B. The equivalent stress of model C was also shown to be the lowest, indicating the greatest stiffness. The maximum equivalent stress of model C was shown to be 0.8 times smaller than that of model A and 0.91 times smaller than that of model B. At the upper part of the seat or the part where the force was applied, all three models were shown to have the largest total deformations and equivalent stresses. If the result of this study is applied to the design of automotive seat frame, it is thought that the durable and rigid sheets can be manufactured efficiently. By utilizing this study result, the equivalent stress and total deformation are investigated without the real experiment by shape at the seat of large commercial truck, and the durability and rigidity can be seen.

The Z-type spring is a key part of the non-vibration air suspension. The non-vibration air suspension was developed long ago and widely used in developed countries. It has strong durability, provides a smooth ride, protects the vehicle body, and protects luggages from damage in truck. In this study, the structural strength of the Z-type spring was evaluated by computing the maximum displacement and the von Mises maximum stress results from applying the load condition based on the maximum weight of luggage in the rear space of a truck.

해양플랜트는 발주처와 선급에서 요구하는 다양한 항목들을 설계할 시에 반영하여야 한다. 특히, 해양구조물에 탑재되는 Topside Module의 경우 육상플랜트와는 다르게 공간적 제약이 크고 구조물의 움직임과 같은 해상 환경조건 및 안전과 관련된 요구사항들이 많아 그 설계 과정이 매우 까다롭다. 본 연구에서는 Topside Module에 들어가는 주요장비 중 하나인 HPU(Hydraulic Power Unit) 구조물에 작용하는 하중을 DNVGL 규칙에 따라 계산하고, 각 하중조건에 따른 구조안전성 평가를 진행하였고 개발된 제품의 구조 신뢰성을 향상하고자 하였다. 구조해석은 범용프로그램인 MSC 소프트웨어를 사용하였고, 총 5가지 하중 조건으로 구조해석을 진행하여 다양한 움직임에 대한 안전성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 선미 방향 Pitching 상태(Load Case 5)에서 최대 응력이 발생하였고, 응력 수준은 허용응력의 약 85 % 수준이고, 최대변위는 허용치의 약 5 % 수준으로 구조안전성이 확인되었으며 부재 간 간섭은 발생하지 않았다.

최근 전 세계적으로 지진 발생빈도가 급증하면서 초고층 건축물에 다양한 피해가 발생하고 있다. 특히 고층 건물에 가해지는 수평하중이 구조물의 주요 구조요소 뿐만 아니라 외부 패널의 파손으로 유리 외장재가 낙하하는 등 2차 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제의 심각성을 고려하여 비구조 요소에 대한 2차 손상 방지 방안을 마련하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서 는 기존 건축물 외부 패널이 가진 문제점에 대하여 실대형 시험과 유한요소 해석을 토대로 구조적 성능을 분석하고 취약부를 도출하였으며, 이를 보완하기 위해 층간 분리형 커튼월 모듈과 이동형 패스너를 적용한 커튼월 모듈에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과를 바탕으로 기존 커튼월과 비교시 구조적 안정성을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

Tomb of King Muryeong, located in Sonsan-ri, was found vulnerable due to leakages during since the summer of 2016. This research aims to evaluate structural safety of the Tomb under the tumulus. Site surveys were conducted to find vulnerable inner parts. Structural safety assessment is presented based on both site survey results and analytical results obtained through FEM analysis using the ANSYS program. The underground structure was explicitly modeled to focus on two types of loadings: design loads and actual gravity loads. In general, the tomb does not show any critical deflection increase or damage through the analytical investigation. However, maintenance through continuous monitoring is necessary to prevent severe deflections and stress concentrations since the rigidity of the tomb materials are very vulnerable and likely to be reduced due to prolonged weathering and continuous rain leakage.

In this study, the Buckling restrained braces reinforced with engineering plastics that can compensate for the disadvantages in the manufacturing process of the existing buckling restrained brace. The proposed PC-BRB was fabricated to evaluate the reinforcement effect by carrying out a structural performance test and a full-scale two-layer frame test through cyclic loading test. As a result of PC-BRB's incremental and cyclic loading test, stable hysteresis behavior was achieved within the target displacement, and the compressive strength adjustment coefficient satisfied the recommendation. As a result of the real frame experiment, the strength of the reinforced specimen increased compared to the unreinforced specimen, and the ductility and energy dissipation increased.
