본 문에서는 선체 중앙부의 유한요소 모델링과 진동해석이 수행되었다. 횡부재와 종통부재가 만나 3차원적으로 연결되어 있는 선체구조는 복잡한 구조적 특성 때문에 모델링에 많은 노력이 필요하다. 선수, 선미부에 비해 비교적 부재간의 접속이 간단한 중앙평행부의 진동해석과 같은 경우에는 모델링 기법을 개발해 사용할 수도 있다. 중앙부 횡부재와 종통부재가 만나는 부분의 접속성과 형상표현을 위해 keypoint, super element(SE) 개념을 도입하였고 형성된 SE 들을 isoparametric mapping 기법을 접속된 3차원 부재용으로 개선하여 유한요소로 분할하였다. 진동해석용으로 형성된 선체중앙부 요소망을 ANSYS로 가시화하였고 자유진동해석을 수행하였다.

Most of existing Ceramic bottle has a problem because of the entrance facing the upper, and then having the entrance exposed in the outside. This study has made up for this problem and manufactured a bottle having dual structure. This bottle contains the contents being poured, has the containing part having the entrance in the lower part, multiple connecting passage hole connected with the water containing part in the upper, and the storage part, keeping contents, located in the circumference of the water containing part. The tail end of the entrance of the water containing part is located more upper than the lower part of a storage part, being at the bottom. This bottle has a dual structure of which the entrance faces the lower part. So, because of checking a foreign substance to be inflowed, restraining the diffusion of an alcohol ingredient, it is possible to have the custody of products, having alcohol element, and other contents for a long time. And then, the water containing part, through the connecting hole, always can pour the contents of a certain level in a cup or bowl. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to make a convenient, a practicable bottle with having settled problems of customary know-how explained previously.

The pile-cap connection part which transfers foundation loads through pile body is critical element regarding flexural and shear force because the change of area, stress, and stiffness occurs in the this region suddenly. The purpose of this study is to investigate the structural behavior of pile-cap connection dependent on fabrication methods using conventional PHC pile and composite PHC pile. A series of test under cyclic lateral load was performed and the connection behavior was discussed. From the test results, it was found that the initial rotational stiffness of pile-cap connection was affected by the length of pile-head inserted in footing and the location of longitudinal reinforcing bars. The types of pile and location of longitudinal reinforcing bars governed the behavior of pile-cap connection regarding load-carrying capacity, ductility, and energy dissipation.

In this paper, a connection details for precast arch structures was proposed. Experiments were performed to evaluate structural performance of the loop connection details satisfying current design requirements and of alternative details for improvement of constructability. Precast arch specimens considering the current design requirements showed higher structural capacity than a cast-in-place arch specimen. Crack width at the connection of arch crown showed smaller value than 0.2 mm due to increased compression force by the applied vertical load. Strengthening by wire-mesh at notch area of the connection improved initial crack control capability. Connection detail with couplers and headed bars showed similar capacity to the reference specimen. The alternative details to improve constructability of reinforcements can be used without decreasing structural performance. Specimens with smaller internal diameter of mandrel and shorter loop splicing than the current design codes showed worse behavior in terms of crack width control.

In this paper, procedures and research results involved in the development of glass reinforced composite bridge deck of hollow section were presented. Laminate design for the 3 cell deck section was performed. Structural characteristics such as serviceability, strength, failure and stability for DB24 load were analytically studied through the finite element analysis for the composite deck plate girder bridge. Composite deck tube was fabricated with pultrusion and extensive tests such as flexural test, girder-connection test, barrier-connection test, compression fatigue test and flexural fatigue test were carried out to evaluate structural behavior experimentally. Also, field load test was conducted for the demonstration plate girder bridge with composite deck and requirements for the strength and serviceability were reviewed.

The objective of this test series was to determine shear load per unit length which causes a unit slip in the fastener joint. The shear load is one of major factors which reflect partial composite action for cold-formed steel wall stud panels. Test method used were based on the methods presented in the 1962 AISI Specification. According to the comparison with experimental strength, it is seen that the shear loads used in nominal axial strength predictions made acceptable results.

Researches on the steel-concrete composite girder filled with plain concrete have been being actively performed on the grounds that this type of girder has constructional, structural and aesthetical benefits. As a part of studies on the characteristics of inner shear connections in the concrete-filled steel-concrete composite girder with plain concrete, the confinement effect on the stiffness of inner shear connections was examined in this study. In the case of concrete-filled steel-concrete composite girder, it can be expected that the stiffness of shear connections may be increased in comparison with the case not confined. Therefore, the experimental studies were performed with the confinement effect as a parameter, and the results are discussed in this paper.

For the connections between modular units in modular buildings, the bolted joints with connector plates are used commonly. The strength of structure is determined by the weakest part of structure and the connections may be weaker than the members being joined. Therefore, to check the safety of modular building, the structural performance of connections between modular units as well as that of beam-to-column connections should be evaluated. In this study, the behavior of module to module connection with straight and cross shaped connector plates is investigated by lateral cyclic tests according to KBC2009 0722.2.4 which shall be conducted by controlling the story drift angle in the width and the longitudinal direction respectively. All of test results generally show the stable ductile behavior up to 0.04rad drift levels and the tests in longitudinal direction show a superior energy dissipation per cycle in each of the load steps. However, the straight shaped connector plates have the degradation of stiffness with cyclic loading and the larger drift angle of column than the cross shaped connector plates.

This study performed an experimental study for air-tightness performance evaluation of concrete tube structures with joints. The test specimens consist of a continuous concrete tube, a concrete tube with a joint in the middle, and a segmented concrete tube. The test is performed in such a way that the inner pressure of the tube is dropped down to 0.1atm and the increase of the pressure is monitored with time. An equivalent air permeability is then calculated based on the test results. The results show that, as expected, a structure with more joints or bonds tends to be less air-tight. A sensitivity study shows that the system air-tightness performance level becomes higher as either the diameter or the thickness of the tube increases. Moreover, the increase in the diameter or the thickness of the tube makes an effort to enhance the air-tightness more effective.

Generally, the steel rigid frame has been analyzed using finite element analysis tools. While many efforts have been poured into the understanding and accurate prediction for the nonlinear behavior of the columns and beam-columns connections, the base of the columns are modeled as simply hinged or fixed. However, the base of the steel columns practically is neither fixed not hinged. It behaves as semi-rigid. In this paper, the supports of the columns we modeled as semi-rigid and the importance of such approach in moment-resisting columns is evaluated. Two typical buildings designed by the US specification are modeled and analyzed by the finite element based on stiffness method and flexibility method. The column bases of three-story buildings are modeled as rotational springs with a varying degree of stiffness and strength that simulates the semi-rigidity of the base. Depending on the degree of stiffness and strength, the semi-rigidity varies from the hinged to the fixed. Buildings with semi-rigid column bases behaves similarly to the building with fixed bases. It has been numerically observed through the pushover and nonlinear time history analyses that the decrease of the stiffness of the column base induces the rotational demand on the int air beams. an increase of rotation demands on the first store connections and lead to a soft-story mechanists Due often to the construction and environmental effects, undesired reduction of column base stiffness may cause an increase of rotation demands on the first store connections and lead to a soft-story mechanism.
