이 논문에서는 해안구조물에 대한 실질적이고 효율적인 구조신뢰성평가 기법을 제시하였다. 제안기법은 파랑, 조류 등의 하중관련 변수 그리고 콘크리트의 탄성계수와 압축강도, 지반정수 및 경계조건 등과 같은 저항관련 설계변수의 불확실성을 명확히 고려한 복잡한 해안 구조물의 신뢰성을 평가할 수 있다. 라틴 하이퍼큐브 샘플링(LHS), 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션(MCS) 및 유한요소법을 합리적으로 결합한 제안기 법에서 LHS기반 MCS는 신뢰성평가에 필요한 샘플링 수를 대폭 줄여주므로 계산노력이 획기적으로 감소된다. 검증예제를 통하여 제안기법 이 상대적인 정확도를 보장하며 계산상의 효율성이 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 실제의 케이슨형식 방파제 구조물을 대상으로 한 수치예 제를 통하여 그 적용성과 효율성을 입증하였다. 특히 유한요소법 또는 유한차분법과 같은 알고리즘 형태의 암시적 한계상태함수를 갖는 경우 와 비선형해석, 복합재료, 다양한 기하형상 등을 복잡한 구조거동을 고려해야 하는 실제적인 구조물의 신뢰성평가에 적합한 것으로 판단된다.

In reinforced concrete structure, rebar connection method should be considered because of its structural role to resist the tensile stress and its structural load transmission with concrete in the concrete structure. Lapped splice and mechanical sleeve type connector have been traditionally used to connect rebar in the concrete structures. In this study, to examine the mechanical and failure behaviors of rebar bar connected by taper type coupler in the concrete member depending on connection type and condition, tensile tests of steel rebar with taper type coupler and flexible loading tests of concrete beams were conducted. Its tensile strength and flexible strength of the rebar connected by taper type coupler were compared and evaluated by mechanical behaviors of rebar. From this study, steel rebar connected by taper type coupler showed it has similar mechanical performance comparing with unconnected rebar, thus taper type coupler can be used in the rebar fabrication of reinforced concrete structure.

조적조 구조물은 전 세계적으로 중·저층 주거시설, 상업시설, 종교용 건축물, 학교, 관공서 등의 용도로 폭넓게 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 조적벽체는 조적개체와 모르타르의 이질재료를 접착하여 쌓는 방식의 구조벽체로 지진과 같은 횡력 발생 시 접착력을 잃거나 미끄러지면서 파괴될 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 조적식 구조물의 내진보강 기법을 제안하였으며, 진동대 실험을 통하여 내진 성능을 검증하였다. 진동대 실험 결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 내진보강 기법을 이용한 벽체는 한국 건축설계기준이 제시하는 내진 기준인 0.14g와 미국 IBC에서 제시하는 내진 기준인 0.4g에서 모두 최종 파괴에 도달하지 않았다. 그러나, 0.14g 이상의 지진을 경험한 면외방향 실험체의 경우 급격한 강성저하가 관찰되어, 적절한 보수·보강이 필요할 것으로 예측된다.

교량구조물은 사회물류흐름에 필요한 중요한 역할을 하는 사회간접시설물로 공용수명이 다하거나 지진, 폭풍 등의 자연재해에 따라 구조물의 손상이 발생할 경우 기존 교량을 철거하고 재가설 하여야 한다. 공용중인 교량을 재가설할 경우, 차량의 우회, 교통체증에 따른 사용자비용과 공사기간동안의 소음, 분진 등에 따른 사회비용이 발생하게 된다. 하지만 교량의 재가설에따른 사용자비용과 사회비용은 교량건설시 고려되지 않고, 이를 평가하는 방법 또한 모호하므로 이를 적용한 교량형식이 선정되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교량의 재가설시 발생되는 사회적 간접비용, 즉 사용자의 사회적, 경제적 가치를 파악하여 교량 재가설에 따른 사용자비용의 평가방법을 제안하고 이를 평가하였다. 사용자비용의 평가 시 교량의 일교통량, 첨두시간, 우회거리, 우회시간 등을 포함한 교통정보와 사회적 물동량이 고려되었으며, 차량운행비용과 교량 재가설에 따른 시간지연비용 또한 고려되었다.
