In conventional construction practices, roof-parapet junction structures inevitably disrupt the insulation installation's continuity, leading to energy loss and thermal bridging. To address this issue, parapet thermal breaks were installed to interrupt the heat flow between the roof and the parapet, effectively preventing thermal bridging and energy loss and thereby reducing overall energy loss in buildings. This study equipped three experimental specimens with the developed parapet thermal breaks to verify their structural performance. These specimens were subjected to unidirectional loading under displacement-controlled conditions. The structural performance of these insulation structures was evaluated by comparing and analyzing the test results with corresponding analytical studies conducted using a finite element analysis program. In addition, five analytical models with varying parameters of the parapet thermal breaks were developed and compared against the baseline model. Consequently, the most efficient shape of the parapet thermal break was determined.

This research introduces a novel probabilistic approach to consider the effects of uncertainty parameters during the design and construction process, providing a fresh perspective on the evaluation of the structural performance of reinforced concrete structures. The study, which categorized various random design and construction process variables into three groups, selected a two-story reinforced concrete frame as a prototype and evaluated it using a nonlinear analytical model. The effects of the uncertainty propagations to seismic responses of the prototype RC frame were probabilistically evaluated using non-linear dynamic analyses based on the Monte-Carlo simulation sampling with the Latin hypercube method. The derivation of seismic fragility curves of the RC frame from the probabilistic distributions as the results of uncertainty-propagation and the verification of whether the RC frame can meet the seismic performance objective from a probabilistic point of view represent a novel and significant contribution to the field of structural engineering.

To analyse the relationship between above-ground carbon stocks, species diversity and broadleaved forests structural diversity of South Korean forests, we collected vegetation inventories from environmental impact assessment projects over the past 10 years. The available data were selected and organised including tree species, DBH and area each projects. The data was classified by forest type, aboveground carbon stocks were calculated and compared, and the correlation between aboveground carbon stocks and biodiversity and structural diversity was analysed. The results showed that above-ground carbon stocks were higher in mixed forests and broadleaved forests and lower in needleleaved forests, similar to previous studies. However aboveground carbon stocks of mixed forests were higher in natural forests than in plantations. Aboveground carbon stocks in broadleaved forests were higher in plantations than natural forests, and there was no statistical different of between natural and plantations in needleleaved forest. This could be the result of a variety influences including biological and environmental factors in the study area, and further research is needed to analyse the effects on carbon sequestration. Correlation analysis showed no correlation between biodiversity and above-ground carbon stocks, but a positive correlation between structural diversity and above-ground carbon stocks. This indicates that above-ground carbon stocks in forests are associated with unevenness diameters and the proportion and evenness of tree species by diameter. In addition, it has been analysed that the high succession stages in forest have higher species diversity and structural diversity, and greater efficiency in the utilization of resources required for plant growth, leading to increased plant productivity and storage. Considering that the study sites were young forests with an average DBH of 14.8~23.7 cm, it is expected that carbon stocks will increase as biodiversity and structural diversity increase. Further research is needed to develop techniques to quantitatively assess the relationship of diversity to carbon stocks for policy use in assessing and increasing carbon stocks in forests.

This study is about the design of an elastic support system to isolate the structural noise of the low accumulator of the naval artillery among the equipment mounted on a warship. As the structural noise measurement value of the low accumulator transmitted to the ship exceeded the standard value, a method of applying an elastic mount between the equipment and the ship was devised to isolate the structural noise. By calculating the target vibration isolation efficiency, the vibration isolating system was designed in consideration of design factors such as the system's natural frequency and static displacement. Finally, the performance of the structural noise reduction of the designed vibration isolating system was verified by evaluating the structural noise transmitted to the foundation plate of the equipment from the low accumulator to which designed elastic support system was applied.

The government declared ‘2050 carbon neutrality’ as a national vision in October 2020 and subsequently pursued the establishment of a ‘2050 carbon neutrality scenario’ as a follow-up response. Hydrogen is considered as one of the most promising future energy carriers due to its noteworthy advantages of renewable, environmentally friendly and high calorific value. Liquid hydrogen is thus more advantageous for large-scale storage and transportation. However, due to the large difference between the liquid hydrogen temperature and the environment temperature, an inevitable heat leak into the storage tanks of liquid hydrogen occurs, causing boil-off losses and vent of hydrogen gas. Researches on insulation materials for liquid hydrogen are actively being conducted, but research on support design for minimal heat transfer and enhanced rigidity remains insufficient. In this study, to design support structures for liquid hydrogen storage tanks, a thermal-structural coupled analysis technique was developed using Ansys Workbench. Analytical models were created based on the number and arrangement of supports to propose structurally safe support designs.

본 연구는 한국에서 시행 중인 탄소배출권 거래제도가 탄소중립을 달 성하는데 효과적으로 기여하고 효율적으로 작동할 수 있도록 정책적 시 사점을 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위해서, 탄소배출권 가격과 전산업생산지 수의 관계를 분석하였다. 즉, 탄소배출권 가격과 전산업생산지수의 선형 및 비선형 관계를 고려하여 경제학적 모형을 통해 추정 및 분석을 진행 하였다. 분석 방식은 구조변화를 반영한 방식과 임계값(문턱값)을 반영하 는 방식으로 나누어 모형을 구축하고 추정하였다. 그 결과, 한국의 탄소 배출권 가격과 전산업생산지수는 추정한 모형에서 비선형적 관계가 포착 되었다. 이러한 결과는 한국에서 시행 중인 탄소배출권 거래제도가 효율 적으로 작동할 수 있도록 추가적인 정책이 필요함을 시사한다. 예를 들 어, 산업 분야에서 저탄소 공정으로의 전환(또는 저탄소 경제로의 전환) 이 완전히 이루어지지 않은 현실을 고려할 때, 여전히 경제가 성장하는 상황에서 비선형 관계가 포착된다는 것은 탄소배출권 가격이 적정한 수 준을 유지하지 못하고 지속적으로 하락하는 추세를 나타낸다는 것이기 때문이다. 따라서, 탄소배출권 거래제도의 본래 취지인 탄소배출량의 감 축에 기여할 수 있도록 적정한 탄소배출권 가격이 배출권 거래제도하에 서 유지되도록 하는 정책을 고려해야 한다.

Because most spent nuclear fuel storage casks have been designed for low burnup fuel, a safety-significant high burnup dry storage cask must be developed for nuclear facilities in Korea to store the increasing high burnup and damaged fuels. More than 20% of fuels generated by PWRs comprise high burnup fuels. This study conducted a structural safety evaluation of the preliminary designs for a high burnup storage cask with 21 spent nuclear fuels and evaluated feasible loading conditions under normal, off-normal, and accident conditions. Two types of metal and concrete storage casks were used in the evaluation. Structural integrity was assessed by comparing load combinations and stress intensity limits under each condition. Evaluation results showed that the storage cask had secured structural integrity as it satisfied the stress intensity limit under normal, off-normal, and accident conditions. These results can be used as baseline data for the detailed design of high burnup storage casks.

Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) is a core feature of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are commonly referred to as drones. In emerging smart logistics, drones are expected to play an increasingly important role as mobile platforms. Therefore, research on last-mile delivery using drones is on the rise. There is a growing trend toward providing drone delivery services, particularly among retailers that handle small and lightweight items. However, there is still a lack of research on a structural definition of the VTOL drone flight model for multi-point delivery service. This paper describes a VTOL drone flight route structure for a multi-drone delivery service using rotary-wing type VTOL drones. First, we briefly explore the factors to be considered when providing drone delivery services. Second, a VTOL drone flight route model is introduced using the idea of the nested graph. Based on the proposed model, we describe various time-related attributes for delivery services using drones and present corresponding calculation methods. Additionally, as an application of the drone route model and the time attributes, we comprehensively describe a simple example of the multi-drone delivery for first-come-first-served (FCFS) services.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the structural relationship between parental support, relationships with teachers, and stress variables on adolescents' mental health. Among the panel of 7,324 third-year high school students in the 8th survey in 2020 of the ‘Korean Education Longitudinal Study 2013’ conducted by the Korea Educational Development Institute, 6,054 people who participated in the survey were selected as research subjects. Frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and Bayesian structural equation model path analysis were performed using SPSS 26.0 and Amos 24.0. First, adolescents' parental support had a statistically significant positive effect on their mental health. Second, the relationship with teachers had a negative effect on stress and a positive effect on mental health. Third, it was confirmed that stress has a negative effect on the mental health of adolescents. Fourth, relationships with teachers had a positive effect on mental health with stress as a mediating variable. This study identified predictors that affect mental health at the point when adolescents' mental health problems become serious, and the research results can serve as data related to policy establishment and program operation in educational settings to improve mental health.

Additionally, the effect of changes in the shape of the reinforcement and mounting bracket on the stiffness and strength of the fuel tank bracket was investigated.

Hydrogen is considered as one of the most promising future energy carriers due to its noteworthy advantages of renewable, environmentally friendly and high calorific value. However, the low density of hydrogen makes its storage an urgent technical problem for hydrogen energy development. Compared with the density of gas hydrogen, the density of liquid hydrogen is more than 1.5 times higher. Liquid hydrogen is thus more advantageous for large-scale storage and transportation. However, due to the large difference between the liquid hydrogen temperature and the environment temperature, an inevitable heat leak into the storage tanks of liquid hydrogen occurs, causing boil-off losses and vent of hydrogen gas. Researches on insulation materials for liquid hydrogen are actively being conducted, but research on support design for minimal heat transfer and enhanced rigidity remains insufficient. In this study, to design support for liquid hydrogen storage tank, technique of thermal-structural coupled analysis including geometry, mesh, and boundary condition were developed using Ansys workbench, and equivalent stress and deformation distributions were analyzed.

In addition, a strength analysis was performed and the analysis results were reflected in the design. As a result of analysis through various design changes, it was possible to suggest an appropriate parking brake mounting bracket shape. In addition, the effect of changes in the shape of the reinforcement and mounting bracket on the stiffness and strength of the parking brake mounting bracket was investigated.

The design variables and material properties as well as the external loads concerned with structural engineering are used to be deterministic in optimization process. These values, however, have variability from expected performance. Therefore, deterministic optimum designs that are obtained without taking these uncertainty into account could lead to unreliable designs, which necessitates the Reliability-Based Design Optimization(RBDO). RBDO involves an evaluation of probabilistic constraints which constitutes another optimization procedure. So, an expensive computational cost is required. Therefore, how to decrease the computational cost has been an important challenge in the RBDO research field. Approximation models, response surface model and Kriging model, are employed to improve an efficiency of the RBDO.

In this study, we developed a new electric low-height beds mechanism with a stable driven rack and pinion by analyzing the current state of existing beds development and supplementing shortcomings of the beds. Structural safety is evaluated through Finite-Element-Analysis using a simulation method applying existing elevate system types and a new type. Furthermore, we designed and manufactured a trial bed with increased variable height considering medical instrument standards to use both for home and hospital. The elevation mechanism suggested in this study could be valuable to electric beds development.

In the development of eco-friendly vehicles such as electric vehicles, weight reduction has become a very important design target. Seat weight reduction is very important in vehicle weight reduction. In this study, the energy absorption characteristics of Almag material, an alloy of aluminum and magnesium, and mild steel SAFH440, SAFH590, SAFC780, and SAFH980 were analyzed to obtain a true stress versus true strain curve that was correlated with the test. By performing the seat frame structure analysis using the obtained analysis material property, it was possible to compare the deformation between lightweight material, Almag and mild steel materials. In addition, it was confirmed that the weight reduction effect was 25.8% when applying Almag, an equivalent lightweight material that gives the same maximum deformation as SAFH980, a high-strength mild steel.

선박 건조 과정에서 블록이나 장비를 지지하는 A형 캐리어 구조는 하중 변경과 시간이 지남에 따라 점차 변형이 증가하며, 이 에 따라 블록과 접촉하는 면적이 감소하고 분산된 하중에서 집중된 하중으로 패턴이 변화한다. 이러한 현상은 실제 사용 하중을 오판할 가능성이 있다. 특히 A형 캐리어는 영세한 제조 업체에서 자주 사용하고 있으며, 별도의 엔지니어링 기능이 없는 상황이 대부분이라서 손 쉽게 캐리어의 안전사용하중을 계산하는 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구는 A형 캐리어가 장기적으로 안전하게 사용할 수 있는 하중을 신속하게 평가하는 방법을 제안함으로써, 하중 분포의 변화에 따른 소성 변형과 그로 인한 안전 문제를 예측하고 대응할 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 캐리어의 중앙 집중하중과 전체 분포하중 조건에 대해서 유한요소해석(빔, 쉘 모델링)을 통한 결과를 기반으로 빔-이론을 수정하 여 제안되었다. 빔 모델링에서 집중하중 조건은 보정계수 0.73, 분포하중에서는 0.69를 이론값에 곱해서 안전사용하중이 가능하다. 쉘 모 델링의 경우, 집중하중은 0.75와 분포하중은 0.69를 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 선박 건조 작업 현장의 안전을 개선하고, 실제 작업 환경에 서의 안전 사용 하중 판단에 신속하고 효과적인 결정을 내릴 수 있는 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
