Steel panel dampers are very economical, easy to maintain and widely used as vibration control devices for building structure. However, this dampers are fractured in the center part under repeated loading so that the strength degrades after attaining the maximum resisting capacity. This issue and other many problems had been pointed out by many researchers. In this paper, the performance of steel panel damper has been enhanced by introducing cover plates on the panel on both side so that the lateral out of plane buckling of panel was protected. Thus, the deformation behavior as well as its hysteretic characteristics of a newly proposed Out-of-plan buckling resisting steel damper (BRSD) were studied

컨테이너 터미널의 주요 생산성 지표는 안벽에서의 작업 효율성이라 할 수 있다. 안벽에서는 Q/C(Quay Crane)이라는 장비가 접안 선박의 컨테이너를 하역한다. Q/C의 작업 생산성을 높이기 위해서는 좀 더 효율적인 Y/T(Yard Tractor)운영 방식이 필요하다. 기존 작업 방식(싱글 사이클)에서는 양하작업 이후 적하 작업이 이루어진다. 듀얼 사이클이란 양하작업과 적하 작업을 동시에 함으로써 안벽 생산성과 야드 트랙터의 이용률을 높이는 방법이다. 터미널에서 듀얼 사이클의 도입은 추가적인 장비의 도입 없이 운영에서의 변화만을 요구한다. 즉, 기존의 dedicate 시스템에서 pooling 시스템으로의 변화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 듀얼 사이클을 이용하는 항만에서의 작업 효율성을 증대시키기 위한 선적 계획 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이 문제를 풀기위해 유전 알고리즘과 타부서치를 제시하였다.

Pick-up/delivery of consumer goods to offices, shops, and restaurants in order to support urban lives is one of the most vital activities in a city. With economic growth and technological innovation, a greater variety of goods have come to be supplied, and pick-up/delivery of consumer goods has become more complex. Efficient urban goods movement in Central Business District(CBD} starts with an efficient system for loading/unloading, and pick-up/delivery activities. Loading/unloading activity may be carried out on-street, or on especially designated space inside or outside buildings. Therefore, purpose of this study is to clarity the efficient urban goods movement in CBD(also called the pick-up/delivery activity) from the three different types of loading/unloading facilities. For this purpose, the differences in loading/unloading and truck-trip activity time of each loading/unloading facility was compared by performing the simulation analysis.

With increasing ship's speed turnround and port time becomes a large percentage of total roundtrip time and this causes to accelerate the introduction of the various kind of modern handling equipment, the standardization of cargoes, and the improvement of the ship. However, it is still a drag on efficient operation of ship. Similarly, the turnround time at the container port is very important as a measure for the decision of the efficiency of port. To decrease operating coasts, the minimization of the time need to cargo handling at the ports of call must be achieved. Thus the optimization of the time need to cargo handling at the ports of call must be achieved. Thus the optimized Container Loading Plan is necessary, especially under the rapid speed of container operations. For the container loading plan, in this thesis, we use the hungarian method and the branch and bound method to get the initial disposition of both maximization of ship's GM and minimization of shift number to the obstructive container in a yard area. We apply the dynamic programming algorithm to get the final disposition for minimizing total turnroudn time and finally we analyzed the results to check whether the initial disposition is proper or not.
