The post-tensioned anchorage zones of normal concrete have larger cross sections because of congested reinforcements to resist high bearing and bursting stresses. The high compressive and tensile strength of newly developed UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete) may reduce the cross sectional dimensions and simplify the reinforcement details, if used for post-tensioned members. The Finite Element Analysis was performed to evaluate the mechanical behavior of post-tensioned anchorage zones using UHPC without anchorage plates and confining reinforcements. The results show that the maximum bursting stresses are less than the values given in current design code without failure due to vertical cracks. The location of maximum bursting stresses were at 0.2 times of width of the models. The bursting force from FEA is less than that is obtained using simplified formular in Korean Bridge Design Code.

For the purpose of optimum design of reinforced concrete structures, pre-determined section database of column and beam are constructed and arranged in order of the resisting capacity. Then, regression equations representing the relation between section number and section resisting capacity are derived. In advance, effective optimization algorithms which search optimized solution quickly using direct search method from these database are proposed. In practice, from the fact that engineers conduct member design close to capacity optimization rather than cost optimization, both capacity and cost optimization using proposed algorithms are performed, and the review for the obtained results are followed. Moreover, the investigation for the applicability and effectiveness of the Introduced design procedure is conducted through correlation study for example structures. Because of no restriction in constructing objective functions with very simple optimization processes and fast convergence, the introduced method can effectively be used in the preliminary design stage. Especially, selected solutions from database are directly applicable in practice because these sections already satisfy all the requirements in design codes and practical restrictions.

복단면 하도는 홍수소통을 위한 상부 하도와 생태계 서식처 강화와 유사이송능력 개선, 경제적인 유지유량의 확보 등을 도모하는 자연적인 저수로 하도로 구성된다. 그러므로 갈수기와 홍수기의 유량차가 큰 하천에서, 복단면 하도는 하천 공학, 환경 생태 관점에서 다양한 이점을 제공한다. 그러나 복단면 하도에서의 흐름저항, 조도계수, 통수능, 수위-유량관계, 횡방향 유속분포, 그리고 하상전단응력 분포는 단단면 하도와 상이하며, 중요한 차이점은 주수로부와 홍수터부 사이의 유속차로 인하여 발생하는 활발한 운동량 교환에 의해 추가적인 전단층이 생성되는 점이다. 주수로와 홍수터 사이에서 발생된 경계전단력(Apparent Shear Force, ASF)은 하천의 전반적인 통수능을 감소시켜 홍수의 하도내 저류효과를 증가시킬 수도 있다. 또한 주수로 및 홍수터가 분담할 수 있는 유량은 경계전단력에 민감하기 때문에, 홍수터에 수목 식재, 구조물 설치 등을 계획할 경우 정량적인 항력저항의 산정을 위하여 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 복단면에서 발생하는 경계전단응력을 추정하는 다양한 방법들이 개발되었으며, 각각의 방법으로 부터 경계전단력을 정량적으로 예측할 수 있다. 그러나 대부분의 방법이 실험에 근거한 경험적 방법이므로 각 식의 개발에 사용된 자료에만 적합할 수 있는 한계가 있으며, 균일한 수로의 기하학적 변수(전단면과 주수로의 하폭비, 홍수터와 주수로의 수심비, 홍수터와 주수로의 조도비, 주수로의 하폭대 수심비 등)에 의한 식으로 구성되어 수치모형에서 직접 활용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 복단면 경계전단력 산정을 위하여 개발된 다양한 연구결과들을 비교 검토하고, 기존문헌 또는 웹상에서 가용한 수리실험 자료들을 이용하여 각 방법에서 계산된 유량과 실측 유량을 비교함으로써 각 방법이 지닌 한계를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 검토된 5가지 방법은 Knight and Demetriou (1983)(이하 KD), Wormleaton and Merret (1990)(이하 WM), Cristodoulou (1992), Bousmar and Zech(1999) (이하 BZ) 그리고 Moreta and Martin-Vide (2010)(이하 MM)이다. BZ 방법을 제외하고 나머지 방법들은 전체 유량의 비교에서 5% 이내의 오차를 나타내었다. 그러나 나머지 4가지 방법 중 주수로부 유속의 비교에 있어서는 소규모 수로 실험자료만 이용한 KD 방법이 5% 이상의 오차를 나타내어 정확도가 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 비교적 단순한 형태의 Cristodoulou (1992) 방법이 적용하고자 하는 수로의 규모와 무관하게 복단면 유량예측에 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

By producing pre-engineered modular system in the factory, It is enable to expedite construction and can be distinguished from two types by the method resisting load. One is the open-sided modular system composed of beams and columns. The other is enclosed modular system composed of panels and studs. Of the modular systems, the open-sided modular system buildings the connection between modules are difficult due to closed member sections, and the overall strength is reduced as a result of local buckling. In this study, in order to solve these problems, a modular system with folded steel members filled with concrete are proposed. The capacity spectrum method presented in ATC 40 is used for seismic performance assessment of the proposed model structure and the structure with conventional steel members. The analysis results show that at the performance point of each model the number and rotation of plastic hinge formed in the proposed modular system are smaller than those in the conventional system. Based on this observation it is concluded that the proposed system with composite sections has superior seismic capacity compared with conventional system.

This study aims to determine the applicability of the previously published T-type modular profile beam in the manner of producing specimens designed specially for the said purpose, determining their bending and shear behaviors depending on the presence of shear reinforcement, and analyzing the results in comparison with the theoretical equation of plastic deformation. The modular profile beam contributes to bending and shear resistance with the addition of the profile to the form function, and enhances the molding performance through the modular concept. The experimental results showed that the TS series specimens with shear reinforcement have bending behaviors superior to those of the T series specimens without shear reinforcement, which suggests that the used shear reinforcement appropriately bears the shear force. However, it was considered that all the specimens except for the T1-1 specimen failed to have adequate bending performance because of the intermodular slipping caused by the shear failure of the bolts. It is expected that further studies on the T-type modular profile beam, in which shear connectors will be considered as a variable,be performed to develop optimal intermodular connection methods.

High-speed trains have been developed widely in many countries in order to transport large quantity of people and commodities rapidly. When a high speed train enters a tunnel, aerodynamic resistance is generated suddenly. The resistance caused from air pressure induces micro pressure wave and discomfort to passengers in a train. Therefore, a pressure relief system should be installed in a tunnel to reduce the resistance acting against the running train in a tunnel. Additionally, the shape of a grain should be streamlined in order to reduce aerodynamic resistance caused by a high-speed train. The cross-section of a tunnel also should be carefully designed to reduce discomfort of passengers. This study represents the effect of pressure relief ducts installed between two running tunnels. The pressure relief duct was integrated with a cross-passage in order to save cost and construction time. One-dimensional network numerical simulations were carried out in order to estimate the effect of pressure relief systems.

본 논문에서는 국내에서 주상복합건물에 주로 건설되는 철근콘크리트 전단벽과 무량판 골조 기둥 시스템의 횡저항 거동을 조사, 분석하였다. 이 시스템의 내진설계 시 건물골조시스템을 적용하게 되는데 전단벽 설계는 큰 어려움이 없으나 골조의 경우 변형의 적합성을 고려해야 할 경우에 상세하고 명확한 지침이 마련되어 있지 않아 그 적용이 쉽지 않다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 예제 건물을 선정하여 기준에 따라 설계한 후 비선형정적 해석을 수행하여 철근콘크리트 전단벽과 무량판 골조 기둥의 비선형 거동을 조사하였다. 그 결과 무량판 골조 기둥의 거동은 전단벽에 종속되었고 변형의 적합성을 고려하기 위해 골조의 모멘트를 증폭하더라도 기둥의 단면 변화가 크지 않으므로 실무적으로 큰 어려움이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 다만 강도뿐만 아니라 변형 능력에 대해서도 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

In this paper, the optimum design of plane steel frames using second-order inelastic analysis and section increment method is presented. Since the second-order inelastic analysis accounts for geometric and material nonlinearities of the whole system as well as its component members, the design method based on second-order inelastic analysis does not require separate member capacity checks after analysis. A section increment method proposed by this paper is used as optimization technique. The weight of structures is treated as the objective function. The constraint functions are defined by load-carrying capacities, deflections, inter-story drifts, and ductility requirement. The effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by comparing the results of the proposed method with those of other method.

In this study, prefabricated composite columns using high-strength angles (PSRC composite column) was studied. Concentric axial loading tests were performed for 2/3 scale PSRC specimens and an conventional SRC specimen with H-steel at the center of the cross-section. The test parameters were the steel ratio of angles and the spacing of lateral re-bars. The test results showed that by placing the angles at the corners of the cross-section for confinement with provided for the core concrete, the PSRC column specimens exhibited greater load-carrying capacity and deformation capacity than those of the conventional SRC column. The axial load-carrying capacity of the PSRC columns was greater than the prediction by KBC 2009. Using existing stress-strain relationship of confined concrete, the axial load-deformation relationship of the specimens were predicted. The numerical predictions correlated well with the test results in terms of initial stiffness, load-carrying capacity, and post-peak strength- and stiffness-degradations.

This paper introduces a numerical model which can evaluate the fire-resistant capacity of reinforced concrete members. On the basis of the transient heat transfer considering the heat conduction, convection and radiation, time-dependent temperature distribution across a section is determined. A layered fiber section method is adopted to consider non-linear material properties depending on the temperature and varying with the position of a fiber. Furthermore, effects of non-mechanical strains of each fiber like thermal expansion, transient strain and creep strain are reflected on the non-linear structural analysis to take into account the extreme temperature variation induced by the fire. Analysis results by the numerical model are compared with experimental data from the standard fire tests to validate an exactness of the introduced numerical model. Also, time-dependent changes in the resisting capacities of reinforced concrete members exposed to fire are investigated through the analyses and, the resisting capacities evaluated are compared with those determined by the design code.
