Utilization of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material has been increased as an alternative in a bid to supplement the problems with general construction materials such as long-term problems corrosion, etc. However, there are still many problems in using a linear-shaped FRP material for a tunnel lining structure which has arch-shape in general. In this study, the loading tests for the FRP-concrete composite member was carried out to evaluate their applicability as a tunnel reinforcement material, which are based on the results from preliminary numerical studies for identifying the behavioral characteristics of FRP-concrete composite member. Moreover, numerical analysis under the same condition as applied in the loading tests was again conducted for analysis of mechanical behavior of the composite member. As a result of the load test and numerical analysis, it appears that the FRP-concrete composite member is greatly subject to shear movement caused by bending tension acting on the interface between two constituent members.

The purpose of this study is to improve the interoperability of IFC for the basic data such as the size of member section, length, thickness, reference location, and eccentricity of the structural members. For this, the method to represent the basic data of structural member is proposed. In the proposed method, the most important criteria is the way that engineers recognize and treat the basic data of structural members. Then, in this study, an IFC file is generated based on the proposed method for a simple RC building composed of members and it is examined that the correct basic data can be derived from the IFC file in the way that engineers do in practice. From the results of the examination, the proposed method is expected to improve the interoperability of IFC for the basic data.

In this study, the distortional behaviors of tub-section steel girders subjected to torsional loading were analyzed, and predictor equations were developed for estimating the member forces induced in the internal bracing system installed in the steel tub girders. Torsional loadings originated either by eccentric vertical loading or girder curvature were decomposed into the pure torsional force component that does not affect the distortional box deformation, and into the distortional force component that directly induces box distortion. The axial member forces induced in the internal cross frames were formulated as a function of the magnitude of torsional loading through the analytical investigation of the interactions between the distortional force component and internal cross frames. To verify the proposed equations, three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA) was conducted for the straight simple-span girder and the three-span continuous girder samples. Very good agreement was found between the member forces from the FEA and the proposed equations.

Building information modeling (BIM) element to industry foundation classes (IFC) entity mappings need to be checked to ensure the semantic integrity of BIM models. Existing studies have demonstrated that machine learning algorithms trained on geometric features are able to classify BIM elements, thereby enabling the checking of these mappings. However, reliance on geometry is limited, especially for elements with similar geometric features. This study investigated the employment of relational data between elements, with the assumption that such additions provide higher classification performance. Neural structured learning, a novel approach for combining structured graph data as features to machine learning input, was used to realize the experiment. Results demonstrated that a significant improvement was attained when trained and tested on eight BIM element types with their relational semantics explicitly represented.

In design of steel column member using TMCP steels, hysteretic behavior characteristics of steel column must be clarified. To predict hysteretic behavior of steel column using TMCP steels, a cyclic plasticity model is necessary which can consider the mechanical characteristics and stress-strain relationship of TMCP steels. In this paper, a cyclic plasticity model of SM490-TMC was formulated based on monotonic and cyclic loading tests. The formulated cyclic plasticity model was applied to 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Hysteretic behavior characteristics of steel circular column and H-section column using SM490-TMC was presented by carrying out numerical analysis. Also, influence of SM490-TMC on hysteretic behavior of steel column was presented by comparing analysis results both SM490 and SM490-TMC steel column.

본 논문에서는 강섬유를 혼입한 철근콘크리트 부재의 전단거동에 관한 실험 및 이론적 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 강섬유가 혼입된 구조부재를 제작하여 실험을 수행하여 강섬유의 전단보강 효과를 규명하였으며, 부재의 연성, 극한전단강도 및 초기균열 전단강도 등을 모두 만족하는 최적의 강섬유 혼입량 및 전단 철근 배근량을 제안하였다. 본 실험으로부터 강섬유의 혼입으로 인하여 연성의 증가뿐 아니라, 초기균열강도는 크게 향상되었으며, 극한전단강도 역시 만족할만큼 증가함을 알수 있었다. 위의 실험결과로부터 강섬유 혼입량(체적비)1%, 시방서에서 규정하는 전단철근 필요량의 75%가 가장 만족스러운 조합임을 알 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 강섬유가 혼입된 철근 콘크리트부재가 극한 전단강도 예측기법이 제시되었으며, 앞으로 강섬유 콘크리트는 연성을 필요로 한는 내진구조물등에 효율적으로 이용될 것으로 사료된다.

For the three dimensional analysis of linearly tapered members, the stiffness matrices are derived. Significant improvements of accuracy and efficiency of the analysis are achieved by using the stiffness matrices developed in this study. Results of these analysis are compared with those based upon stepped representation of beam elements in the ANSYS. The stiffness matrices presented in this study can be used for the analysis of tapered and prismatic members.

A strain rate-dependent element model was used to study the loading rate-sensitivity of R/C beams and columns with different design factors. Conclusions were derived regarding the differences between the element axial/flexural performance under impulsive and quasi-static loads. Practical design formalas for predicting the loading rate-dependent axial and flexural strengths of R/C elements were also suggested.

The curved structures in space, such as multi-level inter-changes, ramped structures, and circular curved structures etc., are modelled as helically curved members with constant helix angle in this study. Equilibrium equations are derived, considering the geometrical properties and initial curvatures of helix. Modal equations of the simply supported helically curved members which can calculate the normalized natural frequencies are derived from these equations by assuming the modal shape function. These equations are used to calculate the normalized natural frequencies of the simply supported helically curved members and verify the distribution of the natural frequencies of them.

The curved structures in space, such as multi-level interchanges, ramped structures, and circular curved structures can be modelled as helically curved members with constant helix angle. This paper presents a finite element approach for the analysis of the static and the free vibration characteristics of the helically curved members by using the 7th order Hermite interpolation functions. This method is used to find more accurate solution of the static and dynamic responses of them than those of the previous studies.
