This study performs an experimental investigation to evaluate the behavior of RC flat plate interior joints specimens. Three 60 percent scale Flat Plate interior specimens assemblies representing a portion of a Flat Plate Apartment Structural System subjected to simulated seismic loading (unbalanced moments) under constant axial load were tested, including one specimens with ordinary shear reinforcement and two specimens with folded bend type shear reinforcement. Test results are shown that (1) the design code KBC 2009 is accurate estimate the behavior of specimens. (2) Two types shear reinforcement have a similar structural behavior, but construction work of rebar with folded bend type shear reinforcement is easier than that of ordinary shear reinforcement. (3) In moderate seismic region, RC Flat Plate interior joint with folded bend type shear reinforcement is apply to structural design of Flat Plate.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of transverse reinforcement in reinforced concrete tied columns subjected to monotonically increasing axial compression. Eighteen large-scale columns(260$\times$260$\times$1200 mm) were tested. Effects of main variables such as the concrete compressive strength, the tie configuration, the transverse reinforcement ratio, the tie spacing, and the spatting of the concrete cover were considered. High-strength concrete columns under concentric axial loads show extremely brittle behavior unless the columns are confined with transverse reinforcement that can provide sufficiently high lateral confinement pressure There is a consistent decrease in deformability of column specimen with increasing concrete strength. Test results were compared with the previous confinement model such as modified Kent-Park, Sheikh-Uzumeri, Mander, and Saatcioglu-Razvi model. The comparison indicates that many previous models for confined concrete overestimate or underestimate the ductility of confined concrete.

Recently pile-supported embankments have emerged as an optimum method when the rapid construction and strict deformation of structures are required on soft soils. Especially geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankments are used worldwide as they can provide economic and effective solutions. However the load transfer mechanism in GRPS embankments is very complex, and not yet fully understood. Particularly the purpose and effect of geosynthetic inclusion are ambiguous and considered as an auxiliary measure assisting the arching effect of piles. Numerical parametric study using 3D finite element method has been conducted to investigate the effect of geosynthetic reinforcement on the load transfer mechanism of GRPS embankments. Numerical results suggested that as more stiffer geosynthetic is included, arching effect decreases considerably and the load concentration to the piles mostly caused by tension effect of geosynthetic. This finding is contradictory to the common understanding that geosynthetic inclusion only enhance the efficiency of load transfer. Consequently the design parameters determined from the numerical analyses are compared with those of three existing design methods. The problems of the existing methods are discussed.

This research presents the structural performance and an improving technique for flexural capacity of road safety facilities based on the damage cases by wind pressure. Among road safety facilities, a support frame of soundproofing walls is considered as a prototype structure and its corresponding structural behaviors and section design are performed mainly by analytical and experimental studies. On the basis of analytical results, glass fiber reinforced polymer(GFRP) with an epoxy matrix which is high stiffness-to-weight ratio was used for applied one of strengthening techniques and their results shows that support frame strengthened by GFRP is the most effective compared to other cases proposed in this research for advancing its flexural improvement, Finally, optimum section design was performed analytically to evaluate wind-resistance capacity and its result would be very useful for developing a practical design guideline for Road safety facilities under strong wind.

The use of FRP(Fiber Reinforced Polymer) bars to replace conventional steel bars in reinforcing concrete structures is currently encouraged by many structural engineers, especially for their noncorrosive properties. The partial inferiority of the bond and mechanical properties for FRP bars, however, leads to wider and deeper cracks compared with those of steel reinforced concrete structures. This paper presents experimental results of concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars tested under static loading conditions up to failure. The study focuses on the effects of the reinforcement ratio on the behavior of concrete beams at various stages during loading. The study also attempts to establish a theoretical basis for the development of simple and rational design procedures for concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars.

In this study, it was studied on arching characteristics of a grand section tunnel with pre-steel-rib nail reinforcement. In this study, we examine the adaptation of tunnel plan and the case which is based on the strengthening method for preexistence tunnel and other pre-steel-rib nail while the upper part of cover depth is low or soil condition is bad. When the pre-steel-rib nail as new technology and method reinforces the foundation placed of grand section tunnel, it is much better in strengthening effect, safety and effectiveness than the conventional one. After investigation about the plan pre-steel-rib nail method, construction case and calibration data, it was confirmed and examined about the upper part of tunnel for strengthening the pre-steel-rib nail thereby arching characteristics of grand section tunnel using MIDAS/GTS finite element program. Moreover we present the method that could upgrade the accurate installation interval and adaptation method for strengthening effect to adapt the pre-steel-rib nail method in a foundation placed over a tunnel.

This study introduced a new method to retrofit RC columns with lap splice that do not have enough ductility during an earthquake. The new method used mechanical external pressure and split steel plates around the RC columns. The introduced method does not require grouting the gap between jacket and concrete surface. In this study, 45 concrete cylinders were manufactured with varyingstrengths and part of them was retrofitted with split steel jackets under a lateral confining stress. The effect of the new method was verified by comparing the results from the compressive tests of retrofitted and unretrofitted cylinders. The steel jacket that was built following the new method showed good results of increasing the compressive strength and ductility of concrete cylinders. The thicker steel jackets showed larger compressive strength, however, the ductility at failure depends on their welding quality.

모터와 스크류를 이용한 경량 식혈기를 처음으로 개발함에 따라 실제 산림의 식재 시험에서 발생될 수 있는 것은 감속기와 스크류의 연결부분의 파괴이다. 이 감속기 축의 파괴는 토양내부의 큰 자갈로 인해 스크류가 낄 경우 식재봉을 좌우로 흔들게 되면 가장 취약한 부분인 스크류와 감속기의 연결부위에 가장 강한 모멘트가 걸리게 된다. 물론 작업자의 부주위가 원인이기도 하지만 감속기(K6G30C. Korea)의 축 지름이 8mm이므로 식재봉을 좌우로 흔들면 굽힘파괴가 일어날 가능성이 높다. 감속기의 축이 파괴가 되지 않게 하는 방법은 재료의 강도가 높은 새로운 감속기를 찾은 일과 기존 감속기의 축을 굽힘응력에 안전하게 대응할 수 있게 설계를 하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 전자에 대한 조사와 동시에 후자에 대한 설계와 제작을 수행하여 기 제작된 경량식혈기와 비교 분석하였다. 스크류 축의 굽힘응력에 대한 대응 방법으로 감속기 축의 보강방법은 감속기 축에 식재봉으로 부터 굽힘응력이 직접 전달되지 않게 하기 위해 모터 하우징의 하부 위치에 감속기 축을 감싸는 Radial Bearing을 결합하였다. 그리고 스크류의 축은 상단의 지름을 크게 키운 상태로 감속기의 축에 연결하는 방법으로 설계하였다. 이때 식혈봉으로 부터 걸리는 모멘트는 스크류의 상단 지름에 걸리게 되는데 상단부는 모터 하우징의 하단과 단단하게 결합함으로써 감속기 축을 보호하게 되고 또한 감속기 축의 길이에서 Bearing과 스크류 상단부 큰 지름이 각각 반반씩 보호하는 형태로 설계하였다. 이와 같이 감속기의 축을 보강한 경우 종전의 식혈기보다 무게가 무거워지게 된다. 즉, 1차 식혈기 무게는 3.38kgf, 2차 시작기는 3.28kgf, 축 강도가 보강된 3차 시작기는 무게가 3.87kgf로 증가되었다. 따라서 종전보가 약 600g 증가되어 다소 무거운 느낌이 들었다. 여기서 리듐 폴리머 배터리와 가방의 무게 3.23kgf를 부가하면 1차, 2차, 3차 시작기의 무게는 각각 6.61kgf, 6.51kgf, 7.1kgf로 나타났다. 따라서 굽힘응력에 대한 보강의 방안으로 설계된 무게 과다가 현장 시험에서 작업자의 피로도 증가와 작업의 비효율성이 예상되어 포트묘의 현장 식재시에 이에 대한 평가를 수행하여 비교 분석할 예정이다.

With increasing demand for large offshore infrastructures, suction cofferdams have been large, and the lid stiffener arrangement for a suction cofferdam has become a key element in cofferdam design to constrain the flexural deformation effectively. This study analyzed the changes in the structural behavior of a lid for a suction cofferdam due to lid stiffeners to provide insights into effective stiffener arrangements. By investigating conventional suction anchors, several stiffener patterns of a lid for a polygonal suction cofferdam were determined and analyzed. The structural performance of the stiffened lids was estimated by comparing the stress and deformation, and the reaction distributions on the edge of lid were investigated to analyze the effects of the stiffener arrangement on the lid-wall interface. Finite element analysis showed that radial stiffeners contribute dominantly to decreasing the stress and vertical deflection of the lids, but the stiffeners cause an increase in shear forces between the lid and wall; the forces are concentrated on the lid near the areas reinforced with radial stiffeners, which is negative to lid-wall connection design. On the other hand, inner and outer circumferential stiffeners show little reinforcement effects in themselves, while they can help reduce the stress and deformation when arranged with partial radial stiffeners simultaneously.

최근 우리나라의 건설 분야에서는 생애주기비용(Life Cycle Cost;이하 LCC)/가치공학(Value Engineering; 이하 VE)을 적용한 구조물 설계가 실시되고 있다. 이는, 건설교통부에서 공공건설사업의 효율성을 제고하기 위하여 실시하고 있으며, 대통령령에 따라 "건설기술관리법시행령"을 제정하여 공공사업분 수행 절차와 기준을 법제화 하였으며 이후 시행령 38조 13의 "설계의 경제성등 검토" 실시를 의무화하는 시행지침을 작성하여 수행하고 있다. 이러한, LCC/VE의 검토에서 보수 보강 공사비 산정은 유지보수공사 프로파일링을 통한 보수 보강 시기를 산정(건설교통부, 2003)하여 교량 구성요소별 보수 교체 주기를 산정(건설교통부, 2001)에서 제시한 기간을 적용하여 LCC/VE를 평가하고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 보수 보강 공사비의 적용은 일괄적인 적용이며, 예전 국내의 교량 건설기술이 현재와 같이 발전된 상태에서의 현황이 아니므로 본 연구에서는 현재 고속국도에 완공되어 운용중인 교량 구조물을 시설물의 안전관리에 관한 특별법 시행령(2008)에 따른 "시설물의 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 지침"에 의한 교량의 초기점검, 정밀점검 및 정밀안전진단 자료를 조사 분석하여 보수 보강 공사비 곡선을 추정하려 한다.
