The automatic dust separator is a device installed in the suction tank of the pumping or drainage plant, and prevents foreign substances such as aquatic plants or wood chips from being sucked into the underwater pump. Since the dust separator obstructs the flow of water for separating dusts, a water level difference is likely to occur before and after the dust separator. Since the water level difference before and after the dust separator acts as an additional hydraulic load on the dust separator structure, it may reduce the lifetime of the dust separator and cause damage. In this study, in order to reduce the water level difference, we devised changing the existing I-beam-shaped dust separator parts to a streamlined shape, and quantitatively analyzed the water level difference before and after the dust separator, hydraulic load, and flow velocity distribution through computational fluid analysis to confirm the effect of design improvement.

본 연구에서는 변장비 1:5.5의 PSC 박스거더단면을 대상으로 적용사례가 많은 페어링 3종류와 1종류의 플랩에 의한 제진효과를 풍동실험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 직각삼각형 페어링을 기본단면에 부착한 경우(A1, A2) (+)영각 에서 비틀림 와류진동응답이 증가하였고 비틀림 플러터에 대하여 등변 직각삼각형 페어링(A1)은 두드려진 개선효과는 없었으나, 부등변 직각삼각형(A2)의 경우는 한계풍속이 증가하였다. 정삼각형 페어링의 경우는 플러터 한계풍속이 감소하고 와류진동응답이 증가하는 역효과가 나타났으며, 기본단면의 내풍대책으로서는 적합하지 않은 것으로 사료된다. 난간 상부에 플랩을 설치한 경우 모든 영각범위에서 와류진동진폭이 감소하였으며 비틀림 플러터의 한계풍속도 증가하는 것으로부터 한정진동 뿐만 아니라 발산진동에 대해서도 매우 효과적인 제진대책이라 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 효과적인 제진설계를 구현하기 위한 설계기술 개발의 일환으로 최근 제안된 Exo-type 감쇠시스템을 활용하여 15층과 20층의 연구 대상 건물을 대상으로 감쇠시스템의 최적 강성비와 적용된 감쇠장치의 최적 항복비에 따른 철근콘크리트 라멘조 건물의 제진 효과를 검토해 보았다. 해석결과, Exo-type 감쇠시스템을 3개층 적용 시에는 대상 건물 15층과 20층 모두 밑면전단력과 최상층 최대응답변위 감소라는 관점에서 유효한 제진효과를 얻기 위해서는 Exo-type 감쇠시스템과 대상 건물의 강성비는 7.0 이상 확보를 하여야 하며, 감쇠시스템에 적용된 감쇠장치의 항복비는 대상 건물의 층전단력의 약 8.0% 이상 확보할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, Exo-type 감쇠시스템을 5개층 적용 시에는 대상 건물 15층과 20층 모두 Exo-type 감쇠시스템과 대상 건물의 강성비는 2.5 이상 확보 하여야 하며, 감쇠시스템에 적용된 감쇠장치의 대상 건물의 층전단력의 약 3.5%이상 확보할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, the vibration control effect of the isotropic damping devices (so-called Kagome dampers) was investigated by applying the Kagome dampers to a 20-story frame structure apartment. A new Kagome Damper System (KGDS) composed of the dampers and supporting column was proposed and numerical analyses were performed to investigate the effects of stiffness ratio between controlled structure and supporting column, the damper size and the number of the dampers. The numerical analysis results of a structure with KGDS up to the third story showed that the stiffness ratio should be higher than 6.4 and the damper size be at least 700×700mm to effectively reduce the base shear and the maximum drift of the uppermost story. When the KGDS was installed up to the fifth story, the stiffness ratio should be higher than 7.0 and damper size needs to be at least 500×500mm for obtaining the target performance

In this paper, the seismic performance of framed building with porous hysteretic damping system is examined by comparing the beam-column stiffness ratio. Analytical results show that in case of maximum displacement, acceleration, and shear force, the decrease in ρ=2.00 is larger than the decrease in ρ=0.10. But results appeared differently according to a number of stories that damper installed.

Even though the need for application of damping devices is being raised even in Korea, the design process for damping system is usually performed without considering not only if the design base shear has been reduced in proper ratio, but also if the response reduction due to the application of the damping device has been actually occurred. In this research, response reduction effect was checked as a reduced base shear force, energy approach, and logarithmic decrement approach for the bearing wall apartment buildings with fluid damper.

In this paper, the seismic response characteristics of the structures connected through the expansion joint and the possibility of collision and separation between those structures were examined through nonlinear time history analysis. Through this experiment, the usefulness of the interaction vibration control using a steel body and a damper as connection members was verified as the seismic response behavior of the structures was reduced and the collision and separation between those structures were prevented.
