This study presents the behavior characteristics of buried three-layered pipeline subjected to pile driving loads corresponding to its cover depth. The analysis considered the driving energy caused by 7 tonf of ram weight and 1.2m of stroke with 20m distance from buried pipeline for all the analysis cases. A cover depth of pipe is varied 0.6m to 3.8m for this research. Vibration Velocity and stress are investigated at the center section in longitudinal direction. With same distance from pile, attenuation ratio of vibration velocity for increment of cover depth has shown an increasing trend. Also, Stress attenuation ratio of inner pipe is increased with cover depth.

Recently, various reinforced concrete joints have been used in reinforced concrete structures. Therefore, it is important to grasp the tensile properties of the spliced rebar. In this study, uniaxial tensile tests were conducted on Grade 60 D22(#7), D29(#9), and two kinds of couplers manufactured according to ASTM A615 standard for evaluating ductility of coupler joints. The strain was measured using an image processing method more accurate and capable of measuring at various points freely. As the result of uniaxial tensile test, it was possible to calculate the stress-strain relationship and the longitudinal strain distribution according to the stress stages and it was founded that the average strain becomes lower as more occupying the coupler joint portions in the same gauge length. In addition, the empirical equations are proposed to account for the effect of the length of the coupler on the ultimate strain and the rupture strain.

The Geo-Reservoir Experimental Analogue Technology (GREAT) cell was designed to recreate the thermal-hydro-mechanical conditions of deep subsurface in the laboratory. This apparatus can generate a polyaxial stress field using lateral loading elements, which rotate around the longitudinal axis of a sample and is capable of performing a fluid flow test for samples containing fractures. In the present study, numerical simulations were carried out for triaxial compression tests using the GREAT cell and the mechanical behavior of samples under different conditions of lateral loading was investigated. We simulated an actual case, in which triaxial compression tests were conducted for a polymer sample without fractures, and compared the results between the numerical analysis and experiment. The surface strain (circumferential strain) of the sample was analyzed for equal and non-equal horizontal confining pressures. The results of the comparison showed a good consistency. Additionally, for synthetic cases with a fracture, we investigated the effect of the friction and type of fracture surface on the deformation behavior.

This paper investigated the accuracy of the current design formulae for the elastic buckling strength of web-tapered I-beams in AISC-LRFD specification. The basic concept is to replace a tapered beam by an equivalent prismatic beam with a different length, but with a cross section identical to that of the smaller end of the tapered beam. The modification factor, B, is used to account for the stress gradient within the unbraced length and the lateral restraining effects offered by the adjacent segments. The modification factor(B) suggested in AISC-LRFD specification was compared with the finite element method(FEM) results. This paper presented a redefined method to calculate the modification factor(B).

구조물의 내진보강방법 중에서 가장 널리 이용되는 방법인 강재 이력형 감쇠장치는 수평하중에 대한 응력-변위 곡선을 이용하여 지진 에너지를 소산시키는 방법인데, 이 경우 편심하중 등에 의해서 부재가 면 외 방향으로 거동하여 응력-변위곡선이 불규칙하여 그 결과의 신뢰성이 떨어지는 경우가 있다. 이러한 형상을 방지하기 위해서는 별도의 채널(Channel)을 시공하는 불편함을 감수해야 하며, 또한 수평력이 반복적으로 작용할 때 그 효과를 장담할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 강재 스트립과 스프링을 결합한 댐퍼를 고안하여 스프링은 탄성변형을, 강재 스트립은 소성변형을 받게 하는 혼합형 댐퍼를 개발하고자한다. 여기서, 스프링은 복원력으로 작용하여 반복하중에 대한 저항성을 키우고 강재 스트립의 하중변위 곡선을 규칙적으로 하는 역할을 수행하게 되며 에너지 소산량을 계산할 때 편리함과 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 강재 스트립의 폭과 길이는 일정하지만 두께를 변화시켜서 5종류를 선택하였으며, 댐퍼 1개당 3개의 스트립을 정삼각형 형태로 배치하고 그 중심에 상당한 강성을 갖는 스프링을 갖는 형태로 제작하였다. 댐퍼 시험체는 5개를 제작한 후, 이 댐퍼를 구조물에 배치하였을 때의 지진에 대한 에너지 소산량과 부재력을 검토하여 댐퍼의 안전성(Safety)를 검증하고자 한다.

Roll forming process is one of the most widely used processes in the world for forming metals. It can manufacture goods of the uniform cross section throughout the continuous processing. However, process analysis is very difficult because of the inherent complexity. Therefore, time is consuming and much money are needed for manufacturing goods. In order to overcome this difficulty, a new computational method based on the rigid-plastic finite element method is developed for the analysis of roll forming process. In this paper, the design of roll forming process and the simulation are performed to manufacture the upper member at under rail composed of three members. The cold rolled carbon steel sheet(SCP-1) is used in this simulation, and a flow stress equation is set up by conducting the tensile test. The upper member is designed using two types of design for a excellent design. Each types are simulated and compared with the strain distribution using SHAPE-RF software. In addition, the numerical magnitude of bow and camber which are the buckling phenomenon is estimated.

Strut-and-tie models for noncontact lap splices are presented and parameters affecting the effective lap length $(l_p)$ and the splice strength are discussed in this paper. The effective lap length along which bond stress is developed is shorter than the whole lap length. The effective lap length depends on the transverse reinforcement ratio $({\Phi})$ and the ratio of spacing to lap length $({\alpha})$. As the splice-bar spacing becomes wider, the effective lap length decreases and, therefore, the splice strength decreases. The influence of the ratio ${\alpha}$ on the effective lap length becomes more effective when the transverse reinforcement ratio is low. Because the slope of the strut developed between splice-bars becomes steeper as the ratio ${\Phi}$ becomes lower, the splice-bar spacing significantly affects the effective lap length. The proposed strut-and-tie models for noncontact lap splices are capable of considering material and geometric properties and, hence, providing the optimal design for detailing of reinforcements. The proposed strut-and-tie model can explain the experimental results including cracking patterns and the influence of transverse reinforcements on the splice strength reported in the literature. From the comparison with the test results of 25 specimens, the model can predict the splice strengths with 11.1% of coefficient of variation.

It is important to extract the mechanical informations from the image sequences of the moving object. We have studied the computer algorithms for analysis of the moving heart using X-ray image sequence. A new mathematical method was developed to estimate the local epicardial deformation, wall thickness, and the regional circumferential and longitudinal wall stress using biplane coronary cineangiograms. In this method, the motion images of the coronary artery bifurca-tion points were used as natural landmarks for the kinematic analysis of the ventricular deformation. In four dogs and a normal patient's coronary cineangiograms, the estimation results show the validity of the present analysis, compared with the experimental results based upon the implanted markers. Thus, the present method provides a new method of evaluating the regional wall deformation and wall stress together with the blood vessel conditions using the coronary cineangiography procedure.

The objective of the present research is to evaluate the wave propagation velocity and attenuation characteristics of kaolin clay specimens using ultrasonic testing. Test specimens with known initial micro-fabric were prepared using a two-stage slurry consolidation technique. For a known state of stress conditions, initial void ratio, and micro-fabric, a series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the longitudinal wave propagation velocity and associated damping behavior. The effects of major variables involved in ultrasonic testing of cohesive soil were considered in this study. Ultrasonic velocity was not correlated to the microfabric structure under the given consolidated pressure whereas ultrasonic attenuation was affected by the microstructural properties of the specimen.

In hot strip rolling, the thickness of strip cannot be retained uniform by several irregular parameters. It has been shown that the load distribution can affect only a small fraction of the excess strip crown, whereas the thermal effects of working roll are the major reason on large changes in the strip center crown during hot rolling. In this study, the temperature distribution of working roll is represented by fourier series expansion. The analytical solution of the resulting thermo-elasticity problem is obtained by love's strain function. The results which are compared with those of the finite element method show good agreements.
