Recently, measures for reducing noise and vibration of a railroad station are actively being developed to enhance its property value and comfort level of passengers. In this paper, the applicability of the recently developed vibration mitigation method utilizing a platform TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) by installing a spring-damper system beneath the platform is experimentally verified using a bench scale structure. The two-story bench scale structure is built to simulate a real railroad station, and vibration reduction effect is verified by comparing acceleration before and after applying the platform TMD at the 2nd floor of the structure. The design parameters of the platform TMD system is determined based on vibration analysis result and the MTMD (Multiple TMD) theory recently developed to enhance the effectiveness of the platform TMD method. The vibration is excited to the bench-scale structure using a vibrator. The performance test result for a spring-damper system is also presented. The result of the experiment reveals that the platform TMD method can reduce the vibration of the bench-scale structure by greater than 5dB(V).

In this research, we carried out design and analysis with joint of concrete supporting structure for offshore wind energy. We developed load transfer mechanism about applied load induced from steel tower to concrete foundation. Also, a commercially available finite element program, ABAQUS 6.10, is used to analyze behavior of structure.

TLP (Tension Leg Platform) is the marine structure for the buckling evaluated to ensure the safety. ABAQUS program was conducted the buckling of TLP. A global model which simulated entire TLP structure has too many elements. This leads a large consumption of time and the hardware for analysis. Therefore, dividing the global model into the detailed models and the local models are significant. In this study, the buckling strength evaluation of the TLP structure members was proceed via non linear finite element analysis presented in DNV-RP-C208.

In this research, we used half model instead of full model in order to consider convergence and analysis running time. We carried out nonlinear analysis on the joints between steel tower to concrete supporting structure of the 5MW offshore wind turbine applying only half of the load on the joint.

In this research, We carried out compressive, chloride ion penetration and scaling, freezing-thawing test. These test will evaluate the durability of Waste Glass Powder(WG) and Sludge(WGS) concrete. In result, the compressive strength of containing WG, WGS increased rather than OPC in age 90 days. Also, resistance of chloride ion penetration and scaling, freezing-thawing confirmed excellent rather than OPC.

Waste glass powder is efficient materials as a Supplementary Cement Materials(SCM). Recently, A number of waste glass have been occurred in glass-industry as by-products. However, almost previous research were deal with bottles, glass containers. Therefore, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis was carried out to evaluate pozzolan reaction of various waste glass samples. Pozzolan reaction of Waste Glass Sludge(WGS) was more faster than the other waste glass samples, especially in early stage.
