The influence of tunnelling on buildings has become an important issue in urban areas. The problem is an interactive one: not only do tunnelling settlements affect existing structures, but existing structures affect tunnel-induced soil movements. In order to examine the constraint of surface settlement and the degradation of building damage parameters, 3-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analyses are peformed. Also, in this paper, the results of the parametric studies for the variations of the damage parameters due to the ground movements are presented by utilizing 2-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element models, totally 162 models. The width of a structure, its bending and axial stiffness, its position relative to the tunnel and the depth of tunnel are considered. The interaction is shown by reference to commonly-used building damage parameters, namely angular distortion, deflection ratio, maximum building settlements, maximum differential settlements and horizontal strain. By introducing relative stiffness parameters which combine the bending and axial stiffness of the structure with its width and stiffness of soil, design curves are established. These give a guide as to the likely modification of the greenfield settlement trough caused by a surface structure. They can be used to give initial estimates of likely building damage.

본 연구에서는 복합재 구조물에 대하여 유한요소해석법에 현상학적 모델인 전 단지연해석을 도입하여 강성저하와 모재파손을 예측하고 변형률을 매개변수로 한 Wei- bull 함수를 섬유파손해석에 도입하여 초기파손후의 거동을 묘사하고자 한다. 그리 고 면내전단하중이 작용하는 경우에 대해 전단지연해석을 수행할 수 있도록 모델링을 확장했다. 모재균열의 존재로 인한 단층의 강성변화는 실험으로 측정이 불가능하므 로 유한요소해석을 수행하여 비교하였다. 이 모델로부터 전단강성의 저하를 평가하 는 방법을 사용하였으며, 모재파손의 밀도 예측도 평균변형률 개념으로 전단효과를 고 려할 수 있도록 수정하였다. 그리고 초기파손후의 거동을 점진적으로 해석하기 위해 비선형 유한요소프그램을 작성하고, 상기의 모델을 도입하여 초기파손후의 거동을 보 다 정확히 묘사할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 예로서 평시편에 대해 해석하고 실험치 및 타방법의 결과와 비교하였다.

A linear analysis method using reduced secant stiffness was developed for inelastic earthquake design of reinforced concrete structures. In the proposed method, the beam-column element and plane element, which are the same as used in conventional elastic analysis, are used for structural modeling. Based on the structural plastic mechanism intended by engineer, the distribution of inelastic members is determined. The secant stiffness of the inelastic members is determined based on the target ductility of the structure. Inelastic strengths of the members are calculated by using linear analysis on the structure modeled with secant stiffness. Plastic rotations in the inelastic members are calculated with the nodal rotations resulting from the secant stiffness analysis. For verification, the proposed method was applied to the inelastic earthquake designs of a moment-resisting frame and a dual system of two dimensions, and also a dual system of three dimensions.

Flexible structure uses a material with strong axial stiffness and small bending stiffness as its major structural material so it is very sensitive to initial stiffness. Therefore, the self-formation process which accomplishes a form in the natural world is grasped and it is as well investigated and classified the type of modeling techniques which are available to find the shapes of soft structures. Accordingly, for analysis and design of flexible structure, three-step analysis such as shape analysis, stress-deformation analysis, cutting pattern generation and constructional analysis is required unlike the existing stiff structure. In this study, suggest that minimize the error of side curvatures by the triangle Re-mesh pattern and draw the cutting pattern generation.

This paper study on the accuracy improvement of nonlinear stiffness equation. The large structure must have thin thickness for build the large space structure there fore structure instability review is important when we do structural design. The structure instability of the shelled structure is accept it sensitively by varied conditions. This come to a nonlinear problem with be concomitant large deformation. Accuracy of nonlinear stiffness equation must improve to examine structure instability. In this study, space truss is analysis model Among tangent stiffness equation and nonlinear stiffness equation is using nonlinearity analysis program. The study compares an analysis result to investigate accuracy and convergence properties improvement of nonlinear stiffness equation.

아웃리거 시스템은 고층건물의 구조설계 시에 횡변위를 제어하기 위해 사용되는 가장 효율적이고 널리 사용되는 구조시스템 중 하나이다. 아웃리거는 설치 위치의 최적성에 따라 횡변위 제어효과에 상당한 차이가 있으며, 1970년대 이후부터 아웃리거의 최적위치에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 아웃리거의 최적위치는 구조물의 전단벽, 아웃리거, 외각기둥의 요소간 강성비에 따라 변하는 값이므로, 아웃리거 시스템의 횡변위는 요소간 강성비와 아웃리거 위치 모두에 의해 영향을 받는다. 따라서 초기구조설계 단계에서 아웃리거의 위치에 대한 결정과, 각 요소간 강성비의 선택은, 전체 구조 시스템의 효율성에 상당한 영향을 미치게 된다. 하지만 아웃리거 시스템의 최적 효율을 보장하면서, 구조물의 초기 설계 시에 참고할 수 있는, 아웃리거의 최적위치와 요소간 강성비에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GA(genetic algorithm)을 이용하여 초기 설계 시에 참고할 수 있는 고층건물의 횡변위를 최소로 하는, 아웃리거의 최적 위치 및 요소간 강성비에 대한 연구를 진행하고자 한다. 이를 위해 시공된 예제 건물에 적용을 통해 그 효과를 검증해 본다.

The membrane structures, a kind of lightweight soft structural system, are used for spatial structures. The material property of the membrane has strong axial stiffness, but little bending stiffness. The design procedure of membrane structures are needed to do shape finding, stress-deformation analysis and cutting pattern generation. In shape finding, membrane structures are unstable structures initially. These soft structures need to be introduced initial stresses because of its initial unstable state, and happen large deformation phenomenon. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate the convergence of solution and the speed according to the control variables and the method of shape analysis.

A cabin of the agricultural tractor is designed to protect the driver from vibration transmitted due to the irregular ground and overturning of the tractor. The cabin is usually manufactured by welding frames and plates. Consequently, the welded state of the frame and plate affects the stiffness of the cabin structure. In this paper, the static and dynamic stiffness characteristics of the cabin are identified through finite element analysis and effects of the structure production error are investigated to insure the structural stiffness of the cabin.

An Inverse modal perturbation method was applied to estimate the assessments of the damages at the large-scaled marine structure, such as pier or dolphin, from the structural dynamic natural frequencies and mode shape. Vibrations of structural stiffness, natural frequencies and mode shapes from the eigenvalue analysis lead to the modal peturbation equations, which were considered with a second order term. This paper estimates the assessments of the damages for the structure with the decreased stiffness and shows the convergence of perturbation equation.
