The parametric analysis of vertically braced steel pipe arch ribs was performed to evaluate their in-plane buckling strengths and ultimate load-carrying capacities. The elastic and plastic behavior of braced arch ribs, unlike those of the usual single arch ribs, are affected by such factors as the flexural rigidity of the brace member, brace and pipe ribs spacing, loading situation, and arch curvature. To analyze these effects, several parameters were included, such as the rise-to-span ratio, the second moment of the inertia ratio of the rib to the brace member, the space ratio of the brace, the space ratio of the upper and lower ribs, the initial crookedness, the slenderness ratios of the braced arch ribs, and the loading conditions were considered with live-load-to-dead-load ratios. Based on the results of the parametric analyses, a proper profile of the braced arch rib was proposed. A large-scale structural experiment was also performed to evaluate the ultimate strength of the braced arch rib. The test results were determined to reasonably coincide with the analytical ones.

In this paper, the parametric study on the local displacement and the local moment due to a concentrated load is performed for stiffened plates with open ribs and the orthotropic rigidity ratio of stiffened plates is selected as the parameter. For estimating the local behavior, stiffened plates loaded on the center of plates between the ribs were considered and for the global behavior, stiffened plates loaded on the rib at the center of plates were analyzed. The Analyzed results for the local behavior of stiffened plates show that the increasing ratio of the local moment according to rib sizes is constant regardless of rib spaces and the ratio of the local displacement to the global displacement can be expressed as a function of the rib space and the rigidity ratio. The application of functions to examples shows good accuracy in comparison with the local behavior of stiffened plates loaded on the center of plates and the application to the orthotropic analysis of stiffened plates improves accuracy. Therefore, using functions proposed in this study, the local behavior can easily be estimated from the global behavior of stiffened plates with open ribs.

압축을 받는 판 구조의 경제적인 단면 보강을 위해 종방향 보강재인 U형 단면 리브를 적용하는 것이 효과적이나, 현재 국내에서는 명확한 설계지침이나 연구자료가 제시되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 U리브의 적정 크기 및 최적 간격에 대해 검토 후 이에 관한 지침이 제시될 필요성이 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 U리브의 단면 크기 및 강성에 따른 탄성좌굴강도 및 좌굴모드의 변화를 알아보고자 한다. 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 고유치 해석을 실시하였고, 이론값과 해석적 결과의 탄성좌굴강도를 비교하였다. 이러한 분석 결과를 토대로 향후 U리브의 최소소요강성 및 단면 선정방안을 제시하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, stiffened plates with open ribs are analyzed to estimate and formulate the local displacement and local moments according to square loading sizes. For the local behaviors of plates stiffened with rectangular and reverse T ribs, the ratio functions according to the dimensions of stiffened plates are obtained at each square loading size. Analytical results show that values of the basic stiffened plates are different but the ratio functions of each square loading size are similar and the difference of the ratio functions between rectangular ribs and reverse T ribs are small, so the ratio functions can be unified by integrating the loading sizes regardless of the rib type. The application of the unioned ratio functions to L type ribs and rectangular loading shows good accuracies. Therefore, the local behaviors of plates stiffened with open ribs can easily be obtained by using the unioned ratio functions proposed in this study.

In this paper, the modified coefficient of the orthotropic rigidity for stiffened plates with open ribs is proposed to improve the inaccurate results of the orthotropic plate analysis. For stiffened plates with rectangular and angle ribs having various aspect ratios and boundary conditions, the aspect ratio and the rigidity ratio are selected as parameters and the parametric study on the modified coefficient is performed. Analyzed results of stiffened plates modeling with the isotropic and orthotropic plate element show that the modified coefficient can be expressed as a function of the rigidity ratio for each rib space regardless of the aspect ratio in case of the aspect ratio under 1 and can be represented as a single union function without regard to rib spaces and aspect ratios in the other case. The results also shows that the effects of the boundary condition on the modified coefficient is small and coefficient functions have different values according to rib shapes. The application to examples shows that the modified coefficient of the orthotropic rigidity improves accuracy. Therefore, the orthotropic plate analysis of stiffened plates with open ribs can easily achieve more accurate results using the coefficient function proposed in this study

The purpose of this study is to formulate the local displacement and moments of a plate stiffened with open ribs according to the dimensions of stiffened plates. Analyzed results of various plates stiffened with rectangular and reverse T ribs show that the effect of the lower flange to the local behavior is very small, so the local behavior can be expressed by ratio functions of the rib space, web thickness, web height and plate thickness and the ratio functions of rectangular and reverse T ribs can be unioned. The application of ratio functions to other types of stiffened plates shows that the increment of the error ratio is so small compared with examples of this study that the applicability of this study is proved.

In this study, steel-pier's structural behavior by design variables of ribs were analyzed in order to improve structural details of ribs supporting double base plates. A numerical analysis was conducted using commercial FE analysis program. Anchor bolts and reinforced bars were made of BEAM element, and coefficient of friction was applied to contact surfaces. After that, the analytical result was compared with experiment of previous study to verify analysis methods. Steel-pier's load-displacement relation was analyzed according to various rib's design variables (rib's central angle, height, thickness) by using proven analysis methods, and proper rib's design ranges were proposed.

The elastic buckling strength of a Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) pipe reinforced with ribs was evaluated. The height and thickness of a rib and the spacing between two adjacent ribs were considered as factors affecting the buckling strength of the pipe. And also, the ratio of the longitudinal stiffness and transverse stiffness was considered as the parameter affecting the buckling strength as the GFRP is orthotropic material. Buckling strengths of various GFRP pipe models with different shapes and stiffness ratios were evaluated by FE analyses and a formula to estimate the elastic buckling strength of a rib-reinforced pipe made of orthotropic material was suggested from the regression with the results from the FE analysis. Analytical results show that a rib-reinforced pipe has a buckling strength superior to a general flat pipe and the suggested formula estimates accurate buckling strength of the rib-reinforced pipe.

Experiments to determine heat transfer coefficients and friction factors are conducted on a stationary transverse parallel wire-screen rib roughened rectangular channel. The test section consists of 198 mm (W) x 40 mm (H) x 712 mm (L). The channel has the aspect ratio of 4.95 and hydraulic diameter of $D_h$=6.66 cm. Four wire screen ribs and a solid rib are used. 0.1 mm-thick-stainless steel foil heaters and thermocouples (T type) are used to measure the heat transfer coefficients. Reynolds numbers studied range from 20,000 to 60,000. The wire-screen rib height (e) to hydraulic diameter ($D_h$) ratio ($e/D_h$) is 0.075; spacing (p) to height ratio (p/e) is 10. Results indicate that the solid rib produces the greatest Nusselt number and friction factor.
