PURPOSES : Driving simulations are widely used for safety assessment because they can minimize the time and cost associated with collecting driving behavior data compared to real-world road environments. Simulator-based driving behavior data do not necessarily represent the actual driving behavior data. An evaluation must be performed to determine whether driving simulations accurately reflect road safety conditions. The main objective of this study was to establish a methodology for assessing whether simulation-based driving behavior data represent real-world safety characteristics. METHODS : A 500-m spatial window size and a 100-m moving size were used to aggregate and match the driving behavior indicators and crash data. A correlation analysis was performed to identify statistically significant indicators among the various evaluation metrics correlated with crash frequency on the road. A set of driving behavior evaluation indicators highly correlated with crash frequency was used as inputs for the negative binomial and decision tree models. Negative binomial model results revealed the indicators used to estimate the number of predicted crashes. The decision-tree model results prioritized the driving behavior indicators used to classify high-risk road segments. RESULTS : The indicators derived from the negative binomial model analysis were the standard deviation of the peak-to-peak jerk and the time-varying volatility of the yaw rate. Their importance was ranked first and fifth, respectively, using the proposed decision tree model. Each indicator has a significant importance among all indicators, suggesting that certain indicators can accurately reflect actual road safety. CONCLUSIONS : The proposed indicators are expected to enhance the reliability of driving-simulator-based road safety evaluations.

In this study, the SBC system, a new mechanical joint method, was developed to improve the constructability of precast concrete (PC) beam-column connections. The reliability of the finite element analysis model was verified through the comparison of experimental results and FEM analysis results. Recently, the intermediate moment frame, a seismic force resistance system, has served as a ramen structure that resists seismic force through beams and columns and has few load-bearing walls, so it is increasingly being applied to PC warehouses and PC factories with high loads and long spans. However, looking at the existing PC beam-column anchorage details, the wire, strand, and lower main bar are overlapped with the anchorage rebar at the end, so they do not satisfy the joint and anchorage requirements for reinforcing bars (KDS 41 17 00 9.3). Therefore, a mechanical joint method (SBC) was developed to meet the relevant standards and improve constructability. Tensile and bending experiments were conducted to examine structural performance, and a finite element analysis model was created. The load-displacement curve and failure pattern confirmed that both the experimental and analysis results were similar, and it was verified that a reliable finite element analysis model was built. In addition, bending tests showed that the larger the thickness of the bolt joint surface of the SBC, the better its structural performance. It was also determined that the system could improve energy dissipation ability and ductility through buckling and yielding occurring in the SBC.

강재를 대처할 수 있는 다양한 복합재료 중 CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer)를 사용하여 인장 물성 실험을 실시한다. KS F ISO 10406 (콘크리트용 섬유강화 폴리며(FRP 보강재 - 시험방법) 에서 FRP의 측정길이는 지름 (D)의 40 배를 기준으로 제시되어진다. 그러나 25 mm 이상의 시험체는 양단 보강부를 포함하게 된다면 대략 2 m 이상으로 제작되어지게 되고 시험이 상당히 번거롭게 됨으 로써 시험법 개선을 위해서 측정 길이별로 설정하여 성능평가 후 비교분석 한다.

3D 콘크리트 프린팅 기술은 거푸집 없이 콘크리트를 출력하고 제작하여 콘크리트 표면의 대부분이 외기에 노출되고, 이로 인해 콘크리트 내부 수분이 빠르게 증발하고 수축이 크게 발생한다. 또한, 결합 재 대비 낮은 골재 함량과 낮은 물/결합재 비(W/B)를 가지는 사용 배합의 특성상 수축으로 인한 균 열이 발생하기 쉽다. 이러한 3D 콘크리트 프린팅의 수축에 대한 문제는 섬유 혼입을 통해 해결할 수 있고, 부가적으로 적층성 향상의 이점을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 섬유 보강 3D 프린팅 모르타르의 역학적 특성을 살펴보고자 섬유 혼입률을 변수로 실험하였다. 보강 섬유로는 PP섬유를 사 용하였고, 섬유 혼입률 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8%를 변수로 실험하였다. 갠트리 방식의 3D 프린터에 30 × 30 mm 사각형 개구부를 가진 노즐을 설치해 1300× 800mm 크기의 직사각형 형태로 모르타르를 출력 하였다. 호퍼 회전속도 6 rpm, 노즐 이동 속도 1500 mm/min을 적용하여 출력하였고, 1층 높이를 30mm로 출력하여 5층 적층하였다. 적층 완료 후 압축강도, 휨인장강도, 층간 부착강도를 측정하기 위 한 시험체를 각각 추출하였고, 28일 수중 양생 후 각 강도실험을 통해 역학적특성을 평가하였다.

최근, 큰 처짐과 다수의 균열을 동반하는 유사연성 거동과 부식에 대한 높은 내구성의 특징을 가진 FRCM(Fabric-Reinforced Cemenetitious Matrix) 복합체에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 철근콘크리트 부재에 대해 다양한 장점을 지닌 FRMC 복합체를 적용할 경우 전단내력의 증대를 예상할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 내진성능이 요 구되는 철근콘크리트 구조물에 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 FRCM 복합체가 보강된 철근콘크리트 기둥에 대해 정적 반복가력 실험을 수행하고, 그 거동을 평가 하였다. 철근콘크리트 기둥은 직사각형 형상으로 단면의 크기가 300 × 300 mm이고, 순 높이는 800 mm로 제작되었다. 정적 반복가력 실험은 설정한 가력패턴에 따라 변위제어를 통해 횡 하중을 가력하 였고, 초기 축력은 기둥 용량의 10 %로 적용하였다. 정적 반복가력 실험 결과, 무보강 실험체 대비 약 27.33 %의 증진된 강도를 나타내었으며, 최대 강도 발현 시 층간변위비가 무보강 실험체 대비 약 187.6% 높게 나타냄에 따라 FRCM 복합체가 적용된 철근콘크리트 기둥의 높은 연성 거동을 확인 할 수 있다. 다만, FRCM 복합체를 실제 구조물에 적용하기 위해서는 추가적인 설계인자 개발을 통해 안 정성 및 신뢰성을 확보하는 것이 필수적이라고 판단된다.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of damage to cultural assets resulting from vibrations generated by construction vehicle traffic. The cultural heritage's natural vibration frequency was determined to be 150Hz by measurement. The damping ratios were calculated as 4.7% using the logarithmic decrement approach and 4.3% using the half-power method. The vibration measurements obtained during vehicle operation indicated that, despite an increase in vehicle velocity of up to 15 km/h, the vibrations remained below the detectable level of 0.13 mm/sec. When the road is curved and the terrain is sloped, a suitable speed for vehicle operation was found to be around 17 km/h, at which point vibrations were seen. The highest recorded vibration amplitude at this velocity was 0.217 mm/sec, which remains below the stringent regulation limit of 2 mm/sec. Thus, it can be concluded that there is no actual harm caused by vibrations.

The paper presents the experimental investigation of RC beams retrofitted with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM), featuring enhanced bond capacity. Anchoring systems, including an extension of retrofitting length and the use of chemical anchors, are newly employed to improve the structural performance of the RC beam retrofitted with TRM. For the experimental investigation, a total of seven shear-critical RC beams, with and without stirrups, were designed and constructed. The structural behaviors of specimens retrofitted with the proposed TRM methods were compared to those of non-retrofitted specimens or specimens strengthened with conventional TRM methods. Crack pattern, force-displacement relationship, and absorbed energy were evaluated for each specimen. The experimental results indicate a significant improvement in the shear capacity of the RC beam with the proposed retrofitting method. Therefore, it is concluded that the application of an extended retrofitting length and chemical anchors to the TRM retrofitting method can effectively enhance the bond capacity of TRM, thereby improving the shear performance of RC beams.

Damage to gas and fire protection piping systems can lead to secondary disasters after an earthquake, so their seismic design is crucial. Accordingly, various types of seismic restraint installations are being devised, and a new suspended piping trapeze restraint installation has also recently been developed in Korea. In this study, a cyclic loading test was performed on the developed trapeze support system, and its performance was evaluated according to ASHRAE 171, the standard for seismic and wind restraint design established by the American Society of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The three support system specimens did not break or fracture, causing only insignificant deformations until the end of the experiment. Based on the experimentally rated strength and displacement performance, this trapeze support system is expected to control the seismic movement of piping during an earthquake.

In this study, considering the expansion/contraction behavior of the upper structure at all times and the abnormal behavior of the receiving friction elements that allow horizontal movement during earthquakes, a port receiving test body simulating the protrusion of the friction elements was created and the modulus performance was evaluated. In order to confirm the influence of the friction element's projection, the friction element's degree of separation was divided into four stages, and the shear behavior of the test specimen and the friction coefficient were confirmed. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the friction load increases as the protrusion degree of the friction element increases. On the other hand, as the degree of protrusion of the coefficient of friction increases, the coefficient of friction also increases. It was confirmed that damage to the friction elements during use increases the coefficient of friction, hinders smooth expansion and contraction of the upper structure, and causes stress concentration at the fixed-end support.

In this paper, seismic performance evaluation was carried out for eight circular reinforced concrete columns designed seismically by KRTA[1]and KCI[8]. Primary design parameters for such columns included many longitudinal reinforcements, yield strength of reinforcements, the vertical spacing of spirals, aspect ratio, and axial force ratio. The test results showed that all the columns exhibited stable hysteretic and inelastic responses. Based on the test results, drift ratios corresponding to each damage state, such as initial yielding, initial cover spalling, initial core concrete crushing, buckling, and fracture of longitudinal reinforcement and final spalled region, were evaluated. Then, those ratios were compared with widely accepted damage limit states. The comparison revealed that the existing damage states were considerably conservative. This implies that additional research is required for the damage limit states of such columns designed seismically by current Korean design codes.

배관 시스템은 기체 및 액체 등의 에너지원을 수송하기 위해 사용되며 주로 건물 내부에 설치되거나 지반에 매립되 어 설치된다. 매립된 배관 시스템은 지진이나 지반침하와 같은 큰 상대변위를 받을 수 있으며 이는 배관의 연결부에 손상을 야 기할 수 있다. 벨로우즈는 기하학적 특성으로 축방향 및 회전 변형을 일부 허용한다. 그러므로 벨로우즈 신축관이음을 적용하면 큰 상대변위에 의한 손상을 줄일 수 있는 것으로 예상된다. 하지만 벨로우즈의 성형과정에서 회선의 벽 두께 감소가 발생할 수 있으며 이는 휨 및 인장 성능에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구는 단조하중을 받는 벨로우즈 신축관이음의 성능을 분석하기 위 한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 또한 단조하중 실험 결과를 바탕으로 벨로우즈 신축관이음의 유한요소모델을 구축하였으며 실험 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 검증된 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 회선의 두께 감소에 의한 성능 변화를 분석하였다. 벽 두께 감 소율은 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%로 가정하였다. 해석 결과 인장 및 휨 하중에 따른 하중-변위 관계의 전체적인 강성과 최대 하 중이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 벽 두께 감소율이 25%일 때 인장 및 휨 하중에 따른 최대 하중은 각각 14%, 26% 감소하는 것 으로 나타났다.

It is effective to apply hybrid damping device that combine separate damping device to cope with various seismic load. In this study, HRS hybrid damper(hybrid rubber slit damper) in which high damping rubber and steel slit plate are combined in parallel was proposed and structural performance tests were performed to review the suitability for seismic performance. Cyclic Loading tests were performed in accordance with criteria presented in KDS 41 17 00 and MOE 2019. As a result of the test, the criteria of KDS 41 17 00 and MOE2019 was satisfied, and the amount of energy dissipation increased due to the shear deformation of the high-damping rubber at low displacement. Result of performing the RC frame test, the allowable story drift ratio was satisfied, and the amount of energy dissipation increased in the reinforced specimen compared to the non-reinforced specimen.

천수만과 태안해역의 제한영양염을 평가하기 위해 장기자료 분석과 생물검정실험을 진행하였다. 우선 잠재적인 제한영양염을 평가하기 위해 국가수질측정망에서 제공되는 2004~2016년 동안의 장기 영양염 자료를 이용하였다. 장기자료의 DIN/DIP를 분석한 결과 대 부분 16이하로 N 제한이 우세하였지만 N, P, Si의 농도비를 이용한 분석에서는 하계와 추계에는 N 제한이 우세하였고, 동계와 춘계에는 해역에 따라 일부 Si 제한을 보이거나 또는 제한이 나타나지 않았다. 생물검정실험 시 채집된 현장수의 영양염 분석결과, DIN/DIP는 3월 과 5월에 모든 정점에서 P 제한을 나타냈고, 7월과 10월에는 N 제한이 우세하였다.
