Quantitative And Visualized Interpretation Of Public Works Civil Litigation Scenario Of First Instance Review In Taiwan, Hsien-Sang Wu, John Chien-Chung Li, Jeng-Rong Lee, Wen-Yen Wu
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Existing studies regarding public works disputes and claims have drawn on small-scale cases to the exclusion of other cases and few have met the requirements of statistical tests. This paper performs an investigation of a total of 400 cases of civil litigation in which owners lost their disputes in Taiwan High Courts and branches between 1999 and 2008. Category analysis coding is used to construct a Log-linear model for judgment decisions; this model is augmented by Multiple Correspondence Analysis to reduce judicial opinions of over 4 million words to a two-dimensional figure, allowing for visual interpretation and identifying specific cases …

Numerical Investigation Of Damping Effects On Coupled Heave And Pitch Motion Of An Innovative Deep Draft Multi-Spar, Bin-Bin Li, Jin-Ping Ou, Bin Teng
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Deep draft multi-spar (DDMS), a novel deepwater platform, possesses the similar hydrodynamic and motion performances with the Spar platform. Therefore the DDMS may have instability of Mathieu’s type because the heave natural period is close to the half pitch natural period. The objective of this paper is to numerically study the damping effects on the Mathieu instability and the mechanism of this singular phenomena. In this simulation, the damping is determined through the free-decay tests based on a rigorous coupled hull and mooring model. The nonlinear motion equations of coupled heave and pitch considering the time-varying restoring forces are established …

Numerical Solutions Of Coastal Morphodynamic Evolution For Complex Topography, Chiang Yun-Chih, Hsiao Sung-Shan, Lin Ming-Chung
Numerical Solutions Of Coastal Morphodynamic Evolution For Complex Topography, Chiang Yun-Chih, Hsiao Sung-Shan, Lin Ming-Chung
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Numerical modeling of coastal morphodynamic evolution is a powerful tool for the planning and design of coastal engineering. The coastal morphological modeling system is based on the sediment conservation law, which couples modules for waves, wave-driven currents, and sediment transport rates. The numerical scheme for the sediment conservation law and nonlinear coupling between these modules can lead to dispersions, diffusions, spurious oscillations and stability problems that are still not well developed. In this paper, the bedslope updating techniques, oscillation removal schemes, and 2-step, 3-time-level temporal discretization are employed to avoid oscillations and improve the stability of the coastal morphological model …
Determining The Repair Ranking Of Existing Rc Bridges Using Multi-Pole Fuzzy Pattern Recognition Evaluation Method, Ming-Te Liang, Ting- Bang Chu, Wen-Hu Tsao, Chi-Jang Yeh
Determining The Repair Ranking Of Existing Rc Bridges Using Multi-Pole Fuzzy Pattern Recognition Evaluation Method, Ming-Te Liang, Ting- Bang Chu, Wen-Hu Tsao, Chi-Jang Yeh
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
This paper proposes a technique for determining the repair ranking of existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridges using the multi-pole fuzzy pattern recognition evaluation method. The differences between bridges and grades are expressed by weighted generalized weight distance. To find the optimal relative membership degree of an evaluated bridge attributed to any grade, the operative principle is that the sum of the square of weighted generalized weight distance is minimum. Based on this principle, the problem of extreme value is established by the objective function in connection with constraint condition. Using the Lagrangean method, the multi-pole fuzzy pattern recognition evaluation method …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
The principal objective of this paper is employed the least squares technique associated with comparison matrix method to determine the repair ranking of existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridges with bestridden or non-bestridden river. Six existing RC bridges in Taiwan are given as an illustrative example. For verifying the feasibility and reliability of the proposed method, the D (Degree) E (Extent) R (Relevancy) evaluation method, which is only considered the RC bridges built on river bed and is now widely used to evaluate the damage grade for existing RC bridges in Taiwan, is also adopted to assessing the same six existing …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
In this paper, the relationship between reliability and engineering system construction cost for obtaining optimum reliability was studied. This proposed approach was applied to the repair alternatives of existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridges for acquiring the result of optimization analysis. According to the D(degree) E(extent) R (relevancy) evaluation method, which is widely used by civil engineers in Taiwan the existing RC bridges with and without stridden rivers can be divided into 21 and 17 substructures, respectively. The use of the weighting value and the cost relation is to attain the relationship between the total engineering system construction cost and the …
A Normalization Scheme Of Bidirectional Reflectances And Normalized Vegetation Indices For Short-Term Multi-Angular Spot Satellite Images, Chien-Hui Liu
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Though the view angle range of SPOT HRV is smaller as compared to those of NOAA AVHRR, EOS MODIS/MISR and ADEOS POLDER, numerous researchers had showed significant bi-directional effect of ground reflectance for decades. Currently, there's no existing normalization method of bidirectional reflectances for multitemporal SPOT images. In this study, a normalization scheme for multi-angular SPOT data is proposed. This scheme will correct both atmospheric and bidirectional effect for short-term multi-temporal SPOT data. Five SPOT images scanned within twelve days are used. The results show that the variation of trees reflectance to viewing zenith angle is very significant. The proposed …
