The approaches in many design codes for the estimation of the deflection of flexural reinforced concrete (RC) members utilize the concept of the effective moment of inertia which considers the reduction of flexural rigidity of RC beams after cracking. However, the effective moment of inertia in design codes are primarily based on the ratio of maximum moment and cracking moment of beam subjected to loading without proper consideration on many other possible influencing factors such as span length, member end condition, sectional size, loading geometry, materials, sectional properties, amount of cracks and its distribution, and etc. In this study, therefore, an experimental investigation was conducted to provide fundamental test data on the effective moment of inertia of RC beams for the evaluation of flexural deflection, and to develop a modified method on the estimation of the effective moment of inertia based on test results. 14 specimens were fabricated with the primary test parameters of concrete strength, cover thickness, reinforcement ratio, and bar diameters, and the effective moments of inertia obtained from the test results were compared with those by design codes, existing equations, and the modified equation proposed in this study. The proposed method considered the effect of the length of cracking region, reinforcement ratio, and the effective concrete area per bar on the effective moment of inertia, which estimated the effective moment of inertia more close to the test results compared to other approaches.

This is the second of two companion papers that describe non-prismatic beam element for nonlinear seismic analysis of steel moment frames. Described in a companion paper is the formulation of a non-prismatic beam element to model the elastic and inelastic behavior of steel beams, which have reduced beam sections(RBS). This study describes the determination of yield surfaces, stiffness parameters, and hardening (or softening) rule parameters for RBS beam element. Analytical results of the RBS beam element show good correlation with test data and Finite Element Method(FEM) results.

An efficient method to solve the minimum weight design problem for frame structures subjected to stress and displacement constraints is presented. The different cross-sectional shapes are conside red in order to apply engineering design in which usually required custom fabrication. To increase the efficiency of the optimization process, the structural response quantities(nodal forces, displacements) are linearized with respect to cross-sectional properties or their reciprocal, based on first order Taylor series expansion, while cross-sectional dimensions are considered as design variables. Numerical examples are performed and compared with other methods to demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of approximation method for frame structural optimization with different cross-sectional shapes. It is shown that the number of finite element analysis is greatly reduced and it leads to a highly efficient method of optimization of frame structures.

In this paper, Analytical study is carried out on the impedance characteristics of the globe control valve, which is mainly used for thrust control in liquid rockets, according to the effective area at low frequency perturbation. The impedance tends to increase according to effective area and the cause of impedance characteristic change through flow field visualization is investigated. In the future, the information on the change in the impedance characteristics of the control valve can be used to obtain the impedance of the supply system and it can be utilized to predict pogo phenomenon as well as design accumulator and orifice to reduce the pogo phenomenon.

This study proposed the applicability of inverse stiffness method on the seismic design for steel frame with buckling restrained braces and the design results were compared with former research's. The concept of this method is simple and efficient. Furthermore it is able to reflect the high mode's effect and control the ductility factors of each story individually. Design results using the proposed method showed that according to increase of the given target drift, the areas of brace generally decreased but partially increased in some stories of the tall structure with very large ductility. And the post yield stiffness ratio's variation had more effect on the design results in the small post yield stiffness ratio.

도시하천에서 환경적 기능이 중요성을 더해가면서 복단면의 홍수터에 교목이 식재 되어지는 경우가 있다. 그러나 식생은 하천의 흐름저항을 크게 하고 통수능을 감소시켜 수위상승이나 국부적인 유속 증가를 유발할 수 있으므로 하천에 식생대를 조성하거나 향후 관리를 위해서는 식재로 인해 변화되는 수리학적 특성들을 이해하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천복원의 주 대상이 될 수 있는 도시하천의 홍수터에 교목의 식재 가능성을 알아보기 위해 수리실험을 실시하였다. 실험수로는 우리나라 도시하천의 대부분이 홍수터를 갖는 복단면임을 고려하여 복단면 형태로 제작하였으며, 실험은 길이 16 m, 폭 0.8 m, 높이 0.9 m이고 벽면이 아크릴로 된 직사각형 가변 경사 개수로 실험 장치를 이용하였다. 수로경사는 0.5 %, 실험 식생의 밀도는 4.4 %로 고정하고, 실험유량을 $0.03{\sim}0.04\;m^3/s$, 수심(h)과 홍수터 폭(w)의 비(h/w)를 1.2, 1.7, 2.2로 변화시키면서 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 최대 수심변화는 유량이 $0.04\;m^3/s$이고 수심/홍수터 폭 비가 1.2일때 약 4 %로 측정되었고, 저수로에서의 유속의 증가 범위는 단면 평균유속에 비교하여 약 $50{\sim}85\;%$로 확인되었다. 이는 복단면에서의 저수로 유속은 홍수터에 식재가 되었을 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 더욱 빨라짐을 의미한다. 따라서 복단면의 홍수터에 교목을 식재할 경우에는 식재에 의한 수위상승 영향 보다는 저수로에서의 유속증가에 더 많은 관심을 가질 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

The seismic design concept of RC bridges is to attain the proper ductility of piers, yielding a ductile failure mechanism. Therefore, seismic design force for moment is determined by introducing a response modification factor (R), and lateral reinforcements to confine core concrete are specified in the current design code. However, these design provisions have irrationality, which results in excessive amounts of lateral reinforcements for columns in Korea, which are generally designed with large sections. To improve on these provisions, a new design method based on seismic performance has been proposed. To apply this to hollow sectional columns, however, further investigations and improvements must be performed, due to the different seismic behaviors and confinement effects. In this study, hollow sectional columns with different lap-splice of longitudinal bars and lateral reinforcements have been tested. Seismic characteristics and performance were investigated quantitatively. These research results can be used to derive a performance-based design for hollow sectional columns.

Surface area of the steel member exposed to fire differs according to type and size of the section and the kind of the member, which shows a big difference in the temperature rise of the steel by fire. The section factor ($H_p$/A) is determined by factors such as type, size, and member of the steel and type of the fire protection material, and it is the criteria in determining thickness of the fire protection material. This study showed that the size of the steel increase regardless of the steel type, the section factor decrease. In the results on fire protection thickness of the steel according to the section factor, the efficiency of 1 hour fire protection was lower from 30 to 50% than the criteria. And there is the member, which have the thickness lower the minimum 27% in 2 hour fire protection, but it generally approached in the criteria. In case of H-shape steel, the efficiency of 3 hour fire protection was suitable for the criteria, but rectangular hollow steel section and circular hollow steel section were higher (5.0-17.5%) than the criteria.

In this study, an optimal structural design of composite helicopter blades is performed using the genetic algorithm-based optimizer PSGA (Particle Swarm assisted Genetic Algorithm). The blade sections consist of the skin, spar, form, and balancing weight. The sectional geometries are generated using the B-spline curves while an opensource code Gmsh is used to discretize each material domain which is then analyzed by a finite element sectional analysis program Ksec2d. The HART II blade formed based on either C- or D-spar configuration is exploited to verify the cross-sectional design framework. A numerical simulation shows that each spar model reduces the blade mass by 7.39% and 6.65%, respectively, as compared with the baseline HART II blade case, while the shear center locations being remain close (within 5% chord) to the quarter chord line for both cases. The effectiveness of the present optimal structural design framework is demonstrated, which can readily be applied for the structural design of composite helicopter blades.

유입유사량의 변화에 의한 하도의 지형변화를 파악하는 것은 하천을 복원하거나 유지하는데 중요하다. 본 연구에는 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 상류에서 유입되는 유사량의 변화에 의하여 망상하천의 저수로 변화와 유사의 분급 특성을 분석하였다. 망상하천의 변화를 파악하기 위하여 하폭은 2.8 m이고, 수로 길이는 50 m로 설정하였다. 하상경사는 0.0125, 유량은 $0.014m^3/sec$로 설정하였다. 상류에서 공급되는 유사량은 평형상태의 유사량에 대하여 50%, 70%, 90%, 100%로 감소시켰다. 상류에서 공급되는 유사량이 감소할수록, 하상고는 감소하고 하상토 입경은 증가하였다. 또한 하도 단면에 대한 저수로의 수를 나타내는 망상하천 지수(Braiding Index)는 감소하였다. 이것은 하도의 저수로 수가 감소하는 것을 나타낸다. 유입 유사량이 감소할수록, 하도의 기복도가 감소하며, 이것은 하도의 역동성이 감소하는 것을 의미한다.
