Jang Bogo Station (JBS), the second Korean Antarctic research station, was established in Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica (74.62°S 164.22°E) in February 2014 in order to expand the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) research capabilities. One of the main research areas at JBS is space environmental research. The goal of the research is to better understand the general characteristics of the polar region ionosphere and thermosphere and their responses to solar wind and the magnetosphere. Ground-based observations at JBS for upper atmospheric wind and temperature measurements using the Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) began in March 2014. Ionospheric radar (VIPIR) measurements have been collected since 2015 to monitor the state of the polar ionosphere for electron density height profiles, horizontal density gradients, and ion drifts. To investigate the magnetosphere and geomagnetic field variations, a search-coil magnetometer and vector magnetometer were installed in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Since JBS is positioned in an ideal location for auroral observations, we installed an auroral all-sky imager with a color sensor in January 2018 to study substorms as well as auroras. In addition to these observations, we are also operating a proton auroral imager, airglow imager, global positioning system total electron content (GPS TEC)/scintillation monitor, and neutron monitor in collaboration with other institutes. In this article, we briefly introduce the observational activities performed at JBS and the preliminary results of these observations.

이 연구에서는 연성중심의 보강을 위하여 벽체의 양단부에서 경계요소를 형성하는 내진 보강공법이 적용된 벽체의 반복 휨 거동을 평가하였다. 벽체 경계요소에서 구속효과를 위한 횡보강은 프리스트레스트 와이어로프를 사용하였다. 주요 변수는 제시된 단면 확대공법의 보강 높이로 하였다. 최소 보강 높이는 보강 벽체와 기존 벽체의 모멘트 분포의 비교로부터 결정하였다. 실험결과, 제시된 보강방법은 벽체의 휨 강성 및 연성향상에 매우 효율적이었는데, 최대내력 시 강성과 최대내력의 80%지점에서 산정한 일손상지수는 무보강 벽체에 비해 각각 평 균 46%와 210% 증가하였다. 보강높이가 벽체의 일손상지수 증가에 미치는 영향은 보강높이가 2.0 이상일 때 중요하지 않았다. 보강된 벽체 의 휨 내력은 ACI 318-14에서 제안하는 등가응력블록을 통한 예측 값보다 22% 이상 높았다.

This paper presents a mathematical model derived from the upper-bound theorem of concrete plasticity to rationally evaluate the shear friction strength of concrete interfaces with a construction joint. The upper limit of the shear friction strength was formulated from the limit state of concrete crushing failure on the strut-and-tie action along the construction joints to avoid overestimating the shear transfer capacity of a transverse reinforcement with a high clamping force. The present model approach proposed that the cohesion and coefficient of friction of concrete can be set to be 0.27(fck)0.65 and 0.95, respectively, for rough construction joints and 0.11(fck)0.65 and 0.64, respectively, for smooth ones, where fck is the compressive strength of concrete. From the comparisons with 155 data compiled from the available literature, the proposed model gave lower values of standard deviation and coefficient of variation of the ratios between predictions and experiments than AASHTO and fib 2010 equations, indicating that the proposed model has consistent trends with test results, unlike the significant underestimation results of such code equations in evaluating the shear friction strength.
