In recent times, accidents involving structural elements, formwork, and shore have been persistently occurring during concrete pouring, especially in multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In previous studies, research on construction load analysis was mainly conducted for cases where the thickness of all slabs is constant. However, when the thickness of some slabs is different, the variation in the stiffness of slab cross-sections can lead to different distributions of construction loads, necessitating further investigation. In this study, the slab thickness was set as a variable, and the analysis of the distribution of construction loads was conducted, taking into account the influence of changes in slab thickness on the concrete stiffness and structure. It was confirmed that not only the concrete material stiffness but also the slab cross-section stiffness should be considered in the estimation of construction loads when the slab thickness changes. As the slab thickness increases, the maximum construction load and maximum damage parameter on the layer with increased thickness significantly increase, and it was observed that a thicker slab results in a higher proportion of construction load.

This paper presents an efficient reanalysis algorithm, named PRAS (Partial Reanalysis algorithm using Adaptable Substructuring), for the partially changed structures. The algorithm recalculates directly any displacement or member force under consideration in real time without a full reanalysis in spite of local changes in member stiffness or connectivity_ The key procedures consists of 1) partitioning the whole structure into the changed part and the unchanged part, 2) condensing the internal degrees of freedom and forming the unchanged part substructure, 3) assembling and solving the new stiffness matrix from the unchanged part substructure and the changed members.

Influences of stiffness distributions on hydroelastic responses of very large floating structures (VLFS) are studied in this paper. Hydroelastic responses are calculated by direct method employing higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) for fluid analysis and finite element method (FEM) for structure analysis. In structural analysis using FEM, Mindlin plate elements are used. An 1 km-long VLFS with uniform stiffness and modified VLFS with varying stiffness distributions are considered in numerical analysis. Responses of VLFS increase in flexible parts and decrease in stiff Parts. Reduction degree of displacements of VLFS with stiffened center is larger than that of VLFS with stiffened sides.

This work examines the identification of stiffness reduction in damaged reinforced concrete bridges under moving loads, and carries out the performance assessment after repairing using advanced composite materials. In particular, the change of stiffness in each element before and after repairing, based on the Microgenetic algorithm as an advanced inverse analysis, is described and discussed by using a modified bivariate Gaussian distribution function. The proposed method in the study is more feasible than the conventional element-based method from computation efficiency point of view. The validity of the technique is numerically verified using a set of dynamic data obtained from a simulation of the actual bridge modeled with a three-dimensional solid element. The numerical examples show that the proposed technique is a feasible and practical method which can inspect the complex distribution of deteriorated stiffness although there is a difference between actual bridge and numerical model as well as uncertain noise occurred in the measured data.

Displacement, contact pressure and moment which are developed in rigid beam on the Winkler foundation and 2 parameter Winkler foundation were derived. It can be seen that moment distribution along with rigid beam on the Winkler foundation are regardless of spring constant and the moments calculated from assuming linear spring constant were greater than those from assuming constant spring constant. Simple calculation revealed that the maximum moment developed in the rigid beam on the 2 parameter Winkler foundation was larger than that developed in the rigid beam on the Winkler foundation.

Earth pressure due to gravity generally increases linearly with the depth, but the distribution of earth pressure due to surface load depends on the loading condition, the ground condition, and the boundary condition. In this study, the earth pressure on a rigid wall due to the vertical surface load was measured in experiments. Rigid wall was built in the model test box, and it was filled with homogeneous sandy ground (width 30 cm, height 88 cm, length 110 cm). Rigid wall was composed of 8 segments, which were tested on the two load cells. In the tests, we observed the distribution of the earth pressure on the rigid wall depending on the vertical surface load and it's location. According to the test results, the lateral earth pressure due to the vertical surface load showed its maximum value at a constant depth and decreased with the depth, to the negligible value at the critical depth. The critical depth and the depth at which lateral earth pressure reaches its maximum were not decided by the magnitude of the vertical surface load. They were dependant on the distance from the rigid wall.

준희박과 농축용액에서 약간의 유연성을 갖는 강성막대형 고분자의 회전확산계수와 zero shear rate 점도를 예측하기 위해 한정된 강성 사슬모델이 제시되었다. 본 연구에서는 이제시된 모델을 분자량 분포를 갖는 다분산계로 확장시켰다. 분자들의 분자량 분포 (MW/Mn) 와 분포 함수를 알수 없기 때문에 해당분자에 가장 적당한 분자량 분포와 함수를 취하였다. 만약 이것들을 알고 있다면 제시된 모델로 회전확산계수와 zero shear rate 점도 등과 같은 인자들을예측할수 있었다. 단분산계의 경우와 같이 다분산계에서도 회전확산계수 의 평균분자 윤곽길이 의존도는 L-7 에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다. Doi와 Edwards 의 튜브 모델에 의한 L-9 과 다른 이유는 분자들의 거동을 관찰하기 위해 임의로 선정된 하나의 막 대형 고분자운동을 제약하는 정도가 심하지 않았으며 따라서 제약 완화시간도 훨씬 짧았기 때문이다. 더구나 점도와 회전 확산계수와 단분산계에서는 정성적으로 일치한데 제약 완화 시간도 훨씬 짧았기 때문이다. 더구나 점도와 회전적인 일치를 나타내었다. 이 모델로 기준 으로 하여 분자들의 길이와 종류에 관계없이 하나의 master curve를 그릴수 있었다.

The extensional stiffness in quasi-isotropic laminates is uniform in the radial direction, but the bending stiffness varies radially due to the stacking sequence. This paper addresses the directional dependency of the bending stiffness and its radial variation in three types of quasi-isotropic laminate reflectors consisting of unidirectional fiber composite materials (UDM) and randomly distributed composite materials (short fiber, RDM). The extensional stiffness and bending stiffness in optical reflectors using RDM are uniform, while the bending stiffness in those using UDM varies radially from 11% to 26%. Also, the stiffness sensitivity, such as the bend-twist or bend-torsion effect, due to the differences in the stiffness value in the composite, is large. These factors are problematic in the optical field requiring precision surfaces. Utilizing RDM might be one way to eliminate the presence of bending stiffness in composite mirror substrates.
