This study comparatively analyzes conventional machine learning models and a stacking ensemble model for predicting the peak displacement response of concrete columns under seismic loading. Using geometric parameters, material properties, and ground motion characteristics as inputs, a database of 1,080 cases was constructed via finite-element time-history analysis. Hyperparameter optimization was applied to six conventional machine learning models based on tree-based, kernel-based, and neural network approaches. A stacking ensemble is constructed with Extra Trees and XGBoost as base models and RidgeCV as the meta-model, and its optimal configuration is derived by examining meta-model selection, passthrough application, and the number of cross-validation folds. Predicted peak displacement responses were converted into drift ratios normalized by column height to evaluate predictive performance across models. The tree-based models show stable performance with a MAPE of 3-4%, while the stacking ensemble achieves the lowest error rate at 2.68% MAPE. Interval-based analysis shows that the stacking ensemble yields lower error rates than conventional machine learning models across a range of geometric parameters, including column height, cross-sectional dimensions, and aspect ratio, confirming stable predictive performance under variations in these parameters.

The purpose of this study is to establish a foundation for design guidelines by characterizing the behavior of a CRCP tapered-end terminal connected to a mainline CRCP. A pilot construction was conducted to determine the deformation and displacement within the CRCP transverse crack, at the end and at the connection. Various measuring instruments were installed and monitored to evaluate these trends. Although the reinforcement stress was lower than that of the main line, the shrinkage and expansion at the ends showed no significant deviation from the main line CRCP. Tie-bar measurements indicated that tensile deformation occurred on the inner side near the longitudinal construction joint, whereas compressive deformation occurred on the outer side. Furthermore, these results indicated the superposition of bending induced by longitudinal displacement and tension caused by transverse displacement along the LCJ. Additionally, the strain increased as the tie-bar installation propagated closer to the CRCP end. Through regression analysis, the thermal displacement at the end expansion joint was determined to be 0.1122 mm per unit temperature. The longitudinal displacement along the longitudinal construction joint was selected at the ends and attenuated rapidly within a range of 2–4 m. The recorded daily and seasonal displacements at the end were 0.38 and 2.73 mm. Although the longitudinal reinforcement strain at the tapered ramp terminal was lower than that at the main line, the end displacement exhibited a similar trend. To address the excessive bending observed near CRCP expansion joints, this study proposed a method for determining tie-bar offset distances, thereby establishing a technical basis for improved pavement design at tapered sections.

The study investigated the applicability of a freestanding retaining wall system, with a combination of H-beams and precast concrete blocks. Additionally, the study utilized finite element analysis in ABAQUS. The concrete damaged plasticity and Mohr–Coulomb models were employed to model concrete and soil, respectively. The key parameters included H-beam size (100 × 100, 200 × 200, and 300 × 300 mm), wall height (6.0, 4.5, and 3.0 m), and embedment depth (3.0, 2.5, 2.0, and 1.5 m), with displacement limits of 24, 18, and 12 mm. For 6.0-m walls, only the 300 × 300-mm H-beam with a 3.0-m embedment met the displacement criteria. Most combinations for the 4.5- and 3.0-m walls met the criteria, with the exception of the smallest displacement limit at 4.5-m walls with reduced embedment. The results showed that, assuming proper embedment, wall behavior is governed by H-beam stiffness, with 300 × 300-, 200 × 200-, and 100 × 100-mm beams suitable for 6.0-, 4.5-, and 3.0-m walls, respectively.

Rapid post-earthquake retrofit decisions require reliable estimates of interstory drift ratio. Conventional field practices either depend on instrumented measurements constrained by sparse sensor coverage or rely on qualitative expert judgment. This study aims to develop a CNN-based interstory drift ratio prediction method for reinforced concrete columns using strain-derived damage images. Reinforced concrete columns are modeled and analyzed in OpenSees to obtain strains and displacements. Strain fields are converted into strain-derived damage images through threshold-based staging that encodes discrete damage states. Structural parameters are concatenated to the damage image by adding fixed-value columns so the network can read structural context in a single two-dimensional input. We design systematic comparisons to isolate the benefit of structural information and section coverage. First, models without structural parameters are trained. Second, single-parameter variants are trained where only one attribute is provided. Third, full-parameter models include all attributes. For each setting, both single-section and multi-section inputs are evaluated. Samples are split by case and then divided 80/20 into training and validation sets. Model performance is reported using RMSE, MAE, and R-squared. The proposed approach achieves accurate inter-story drift ratio prediction overall, with improved performance when all structural parameters and multi-section inputs are used.

The human body has many degrees of freedom (1-3 degrees of freedom) per joint, enabling smooth and stable walking. However, unlike humans, robots require many more joints, and their design necessitates the control of numerous motors. However, controlling more motors leads to lower walking stability. Therefore, this paper studies a real-time control method for stable walking of a bipedal robot. To enable stable walking of a bipedal robot with 12 degrees of freedom, we study a method for generating and supplementing walking patterns between each joint using numerical analysis of the multi-joint robot's kinematics and learning-based AI. This research is to apply the adaptive control of neuron networks for the real-time attitude control of Multi-articulated robot. Multi-articulated robot is expressed with a complicated mathematical model on account of the mechanic, electric non-linearity which each articulation of mechanism has, and includes an unstable factor in time of attitude control. If such a complex expression is included in control operation, it leads to the disadvantage that operation time is lengthened. Thus, if the rapid change of the load or the disturbance is given, it is difficult to fulfill the control of desired performance. In this research we used the response property curve of the robot instead of the activation function of neural network algorithms, so the adaptive control system of neural networks constructed without the information of modeling can perform a real-time control. The proposed adaptive control algorithm generated control signs corresponding to the non-linearity of Multi-articulated robot, which could generate desired motion in real time.

This study proposes empirical formulas for predicting the nonlinear behavior of GIR beam-to-column connections in timber structures to evaluate their structural performance. A database comprising 59 experimental results of GIR connections was collected, and the normality of data distribution was verified. Statistical analysis were conducted to investigate the correlations between input and output parameters. Based on input parameters with high correlation, derived variables were formulated and utilized in a multiple regression analysis to develop empirical formulas for moment capacity and rotation. The R-squared values of the proposed formulas exceeded 0.9, and the predicted initial stiffness and strength closely matched those of experimental results not used in the regression analysis. So the suggested empirical formulas exhibit excellent predictive performance for the nonlinear behavior of GIR beam-to-column connections in timber structures.

The rapid expansion of bridge and tunnel infrastructure has resulted in a growing incidence of wind-induced traffic accidents occurring at bridge approaches and tunnel portals. These accidents not only inflict direct damage on vehicles but also lead to substantial social and economic losses, stemming from roadway infrastructure repair and maintenance costs, as well as elevated logistics expenses due to traffic delays and congestion. In this study, a theoretical expression for the lateral displacement of vehicles as a function of wind speed was derived. Subsequently, lateral displacement and lateral wind force were analyzed and compared across vehicle types, considering both straight and curved roadway sections. An analysis of prevailing wind directions at each site revealed that, for passenger cars, the maximum lateral force and displacement on straight sections occurred at a wind incidence angle of 45°, whereas on curved sections with a pier curvature of 90°, the critical wind direction ranged from 0° to 120°. These results demonstrate that vehicle stability can be significantly compromised during high-speed travel under crosswind conditions. Based on departure trajectories of vehicles under varying wind speeds, a risk-assessment scale for wind-induced accidents was developed. In addition, design guidelines were proposed for the strategic placement of windbreak barriers to enhance driving safety under strong wind conditions.

In this study, static and dynamic analyses were conducted on three atypical building models to evaluate the displacement response reduction performance based on the outrigger system installation location in a atypical building that incorporated both tapered and twisted shapes. Three 60-story models were developed with a fixed 3-degree taper and twist angles of 1, 2, and 3 degrees per story. Outrigger systems were installed at 10-story intervals and additionally between the 20th and 40th floor at 1-story intervals. The results indicated that, although there were variations depending on the seismic loads, the displacement response reduction performance was generally most effective when the outriggers were installed in the upper stories (41st to 60th floors) of the analytical models.

대규모 하천의 수량(river storage) 변동으로 인해 발생하는 지각 변형을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) 기반의 지각 변위 자료와 GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) 인공위성 중력 자료, 그리고 WaterGAP 수리 모형 산출 자료를 종합적으로 분석하였다. 우리는 아마존 강 유역에 대해 수로에 집중되어 분포하는 하천 수량 변동을 선 형태의 하중으로 모형화하고, 이로부터 유발되는 지각의 탄성 변형을 계산해 GNSS 관측치와 비교하였다. 이를 통해, 이 지역에서 발생하는 계절적 지각 변위 중 하천 수량 변동에 기인하 는 성분을 선 하중 모형으로 성공적으로 설명할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 원격 탐사 자료를 활용해 대규 모 하천의 수량 변동을 추정할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 이를 토대로 GRACE가 관측하는 육상 물 저장량(terrestrial water storage, TWS)에서 토양 수분이나 지하수 변동 등의 개별 요소를 분리 및 검증할 수 있는 방법론을 제시한다. 나아가, 본 연구에서 제안된 접근법은 기후 변화로 인한 수문학적 재해 예측과 수자원 관리 등 다양한 분야에서 더욱 정교한 해석과 활용을 가능하게 할 것으로 기대된다.

This study measured the displacement that occurs when applying expansion joints between the jointed concrete pavement (JCP) and continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) on domestic expressway and obtained the basic data necessary for the rational design of expansion joints. Displacement gauges were installed at the ends of the CRCP expansion joints, and the longitudinal displacements were measured for five years to derive daily and seasonal displacements, which were compared with the results obtained at the JCP and anchor lug ends. The expansion joints of the CRCP terminal ends were observed to have initially expanded by 5.8 and 5.9 mm. The daily displacements were 0.024 and 0.034 mm/℃ on average, and the seasonal displacements decreased rapidly with an increase in distance from the CRCP ends. In addition, the displacements at locations 50–150 m away exhibited behaviors that were inversely proportional to the temperature, suggesting that they were more affected by the surrounding cracks. The seasonal displacement measured at the end of the CRCP expansion joint was 0.0292–0.0701 mm/℃. The displacement occurring at the end of the domestic CRCP expansion joint was estimated to consist of short-term expansion and seasonal displacements and was lower than when the asphalt separation layer was used. This was because the surface behavior was strongly suppressed below the lean concrete layer. Therefore, continuous observation is necessary, as different trends may be observed according to the increase in CRCP thickness.

Steel moment frame connections are vital in moment frames designed to resist forces transferred from adjoining beams and columns. The welded unreinforced flange-welded web (WUF-W) connection is one of the pre-qualified connections used for steel special moment frames (SMFs). This study developed drift-based fragility functions for WUF-W connections based on test data of 35 WUF-W connection specimens from ten previous experimental studies. Four different damage states were defined to calculate the fragility: onset of yielding, local buckling, strength loss, and fracture. Fragility functions were derived assuming that lognormal distribution was validated using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test. It was confirmed that fragility functions for WUF-W connections were accurately proposed within a specified confidence interval. The fragility functions proposed in this study exhibit smaller standard deviations compared to FEMA P58, thereby reducing the likelihood of overestimating or underestimating damage at specific drift ratios. Furthermore, these functions remain within the confidence intervals across all damage states, contributing to improved accuracy in damage analysis and loss estimation in performance-based earthquake engineering.

국내에는 지형적인 조건 또는 그 외의 여러 제약에 따라 줄눈 콘크리트 포장(JCP)을 시공하는 경우가 많았다. JCP는 시공 이후 양생 제로 도포함에도 불구하고 시간이 지남에 따라 부등건조수축이 나타나, 운전자의 승차감과 안정성을 악화시킨다. 이를 해결하기 위해 포장설계 지침을 지속적으로 개정하고 있지만, 부등건조수축으로 인한 민원이 계속 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 JCP의 부등건조수축량에 영향을 줄 수 있는 변수를 설정하여 변수에 따른 거동 차이를 보고자 하였다. 3D 유한요소해 석 프로그램 ABAQUS를 이용하여 유한요소법을 통한 해석을 진행하였고, 모델링은 2차로 6 슬래브를 모형화하였다. JCP의 부등건조 수축량에 영향을 주는 슬래브 깊이별 온도변화가 포장설계에 따라 어떻게 변화하는지 고려하기 위하여, 그에 대한 변수로 하부층 종 류의 영향, 슬래브 두께의 영향, 주행차로 다웰바 추가 설치 유무의 영향, 줄눈 간격의 영향을 설정하였다. 기본적인 모델의 유한요소해석 부등건조수축량 결과와 위에서 설정한 변수를 적용하여 만든 모델에 대한 유한요소해석 부등건조수축 량 결과를 각각 도출하였고, 기본 모델 결과와 변수를 적용한 모델 결과를 비교하여 각각의 인자가 어느 정도의 영향을 미치는지 확 인해 보았다. 영향이 큰 인자들을 선별하여 복합적인 변수에 대한 영향을 보고자 하였고, 복합 변수를 적용한 모델의 유한요소해석 부등건조수축 량 결과와 기본 모델의 유항요소해석 부등건조수축량 결과를 비교하여 그 차이가 어느 정도인지 확인하였다. 이에 따라 앞으로 JCP구 간 부등건조수축에 대한 해결을 위해 중점을 두어야 할 인자를 파악할 수 있었으며, 결과를 현장에 적절하게 적용한다면 도로 주행성 과 안전성을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 유한요소해석 결과에 대한 신뢰도를 부여하기 위해 현장 데이터와도 비교 분석하였고, 계절에 따라 약간의 차이는 있었으나, 평균값 과는 유사하여 본 연구의 구조해석 모형이 다양한 조건에 따른 연직변위 발생함에 있어 비교하는데 유용하다고 판단하였다.

Since atypical high-rise buildings are vulnerable to gravity loads and seismic loads, various structural systems must be applied to ensure the stability of the structure. In this study, the authors selected a 60-story twisted-shaped structure among atypical high-rise structures as an analytical model to investigate its structural behavior concerning the outrigger system. The structural analyses were performed varying the number of installed layers and the arrangement of the outrigger system, as well as the placement of the mega column, as design variables. The analysis revealed that the most effective position for the outrigger was 0.455H from the top layer, consistent with previous studies. Additionally, connecting outriggers and mega columns significantly reduced the displacement response of the model. From an economic standpoint, it is deemed efficient to connect and install outriggers and mega columns at the structure's ends.

노후 구조물의 동적 특성 평가를 위해 대표적인 접촉식 센서인 LVDT와 가속도계를 활용한다. 전통 적인 센서의 데이터 신뢰성은 높지만, 작동 원리로 인하여 대상 구조물의 물리적 접근과 센서의 설치 가 필요하다. 조밀한 센서 설치를 위해선 많은 수의 센서와 데이터 수집장치도 추가적으로 필요하다. 이런 단점을 보완하고자 비접촉식 센서의 개발이 활발히 진행 중이며, 특히 비전센서를 활용한 동적 변위 측정에 관한 연구 및 개발에 많은 진척이 있다. 비전센서를 활용한 동적 변위 측정 시스템은 내 적 파라미터 및 외적 환경조건에 따라 측정 정확도가 크게 변화한다. 주된 내적 파라미터로 영상장비 의 공간분해능은 이미지 센서의 물리적 크리와 촬영거리의 증가 혹은 관심영역이 작아짐에 따라 영향 을 많이 받는다. 외적 환경조건으로 저조도 환경에서 타겟의 밝기차이가 줄어들어 이미지 프로세싱 과 정에서 불리한 조건이며, 이는 동적 변위 측정 정확도 저하로 이어진다. 본 연구에서 저조도 환경에서 비전센서의 운용거리 한계를 초해상화를 적용하여 극복하고자 하며, 인공적 및 자연적 타겟에 대한 동 적 변위 측정 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 동적 변위 측정 실내 실험을 위해 저조도 조건에서 3층 전단 구조물을 9Hz로 가진하였다. 동시에 Sony사의 DSC-100M7 카메라를 활용하여 조화진동으로 인해 발생되는 각층의 변위를 FHD화질 120FPS로 촬영하였고 측정 정확도 비교 분석을 각층의 LVDT 측 정값으로 진행하였다. 촬영거리를 10m를 기준으로 10m씩 증가하면서 최대 40m까지 변위 값을 측정 하였으며, 공간분해능 증가를 위해 GAN기반 초해상화 모델인 RealSR을 적용시켰다. 초해상화를 활용 하여 동적변위를 측정한 결과 저조도 환경에서도 비전센서의 운용 거리가 증가함을 확인할 수 있었으 며, 동시에 변위 측정 정확도도 함께 상승하는 것을 보여줬다.

In this study, we investigated the dynamic characteristics of three irregular building models to analyze the effectiveness of displacement response control with Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) installation in twisted irregular buildings. The three irregular models were developed with a fixed angle of twist per story at one degree, subjected to three historical seismic loads and resonant harmonic loads. By designing TMDs with linear and dashpot attributes, we varied the total mass ratio of the installed TMDs from 0.00625% to 1.0%, encompassing a total of 10 values. Two TMDs were installed at the center of the top story of the analysis model in both X and Y directions to evaluate displacement response control performance based on TMD installation. Our findings suggest that the top displacement response control performance was most effective when a 1.0% TMD was installed at the top layer of the analysis model.

This study deals with the vibration transmissibility of a vibration isolation device, which is composed of frictional damping and nonlinear softening springs, when its base is harmonically excited. The SCAP method, a type of averaging method, is employed to obtain steady-state responses. The vibration characteristics due to excitation of the base are investigated through the analysis of displacement transmissibility in the steady-state response. In this process, displacement transmissibility for design parameters is analyzed, and the stability of the response is also investigated. The vibration isolation effect due to frictional damping is found to be more effective in the case of the softening spring than in the case of the hardening spring. Additionally, the pattern of the jump phenomenon observed during frequency sweeping, both upward and downward, has been identified.
