The main objective of this study is to develop an optimization algorithm of framed structures with rigid and various semi-rigid connections using the multilevel dynamic programming and the sequential unconstrained minimization techniques (SUMT). The second-order elastic analysis is performed for steel framed structures. The second order elastic analysis is developed based on nonlinear beam-column theory considering the bowing effect. The following semi-rigid connections are considered; double web angle, top-seat angle and top-seat angle with web angle. We considered the three connection models, such as modified exponential, polynomial and three parameter model. The total weight of the structural steel is used as the objective function in the optimization process. The dimensions of steel cross section are selected as the design variables. The design constraints consist of strength requirements for axial, shear and flexural resistance and serviceability requirements.

In this study, a five-story steel frame was designed in accordance with KBC2005 to evaluate the effect of the beam-column connection on the structural behavior. The connections were designed as a fully rigid connection and as a semirigid connection. A fiber model was utilized to describe the moment-curvature relationship of the steel beam and column, and a three-parameter power model was adopted for the moment-rotation angle of the semirigid connection. To evaluate the effects of higher modes on structural behavior, the structure was subjected to a KBC2005-equivalent lateral load and lateral loads considering higher modes. The structure was idealized as a separate 2D frame and as a connected 2D frame. The pushover analysis of 2D frames for the lateral load yielded the top displacement-base shear force, design coefficients such as overstrength factor, ductility ratio, and response modification coefficient, demanded ductility ratio for the semirigid connection,and distribution of plastic hinges. The sample structure showed a greater response modification coefficient than KBC2005, the higher modes were found to have few effects on the coefficient, and the lateral load of KBC2005 was found to be conservative. The TSD connection was estimated to secure economy and safety in the sample structure.

해양구조물은 점점 대형화되어 가고 있는 추세에 있으며 또한 이들 구조물의 대형화에 따른 구조물의 보수, 유지관리가 매우 중요한 사안으로 등장하게 되었다. 뿐만 아니라, 이러한 구조물 등이 손상또는 파괴되었을 경우는 그에 따른 인적, 경제적 손실 또한 막대할 것으로 사료되며 이러한 구조물의 파괴사례중 상당 부분이 용접부의 부식문제 및 수소취화와 관련된 사고인것으로 보고되고 있다. 한편 용접은 급속가열, 급속냉각의 공적으로 인한 경도와 열적, 조직적 변화를 일으켜 용접부 각 미세부위별 전위차가 발생하게 되며, 이로 인해 갈바낙부실을 일으키는 것으로 보고 있다. 그리고 갈바닉 부식에 의한 용접부의 부식성을 억제하기 위해 용접후열처리(post weld heat treatment PWHT)를 시행하여 내식성을 향상시키는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는 고장력강인 RE36강 시험편을 전기화학적 측면에서 최적의 용접후열처리 온도를 규명하였으며, 용접방법(FCAW, SMAW), 용접후 열처리 유무에 따른 용접부위의 저변형을 인장실험을 통한 기계적 특성, 전기화학적 특성 및 수소취화 감수성을 등을 규명하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 해양구조물 선박의 설계시공시에 용접부 주위의 기계적. 전기화학적 특성 평가 및 수소취화 방지대책에 좋은 참고자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

A series of three shear wall specimens were tested under constant axial stress and reversed cyclic lateral loading to evaluate the capacity of seismic retrofit proposed for the shear wall with the opening induced by remodeling. One specimen was tested in the as-built condition and the others were retrofitted prior to testing. The retrofit involved the use of carbon fiber sheets and steel plates (thickness ; 3mm) over the entire face of the wall. Specimens were 1/2-scale representations of a one-story wall in a Korean apartment building that was built in 1980. The test results showed that failure mechanism of specimens governed by shear fracture and the strength of specimens was varied with according to the retrofitting strategies.

This paper presents hybrid structural damage monitoring system which performs both global damage assessment of structure and damage detection of local structural joints. Hybrid damage monitoring system is composed of vibration-based technique and electro/mechanic impedance technique. Vibration-based technique detects global characteristic change ot structure using modal characteristic change of structure, and electro/mechanical impedance technique detects damage existence of local structural joints using impedance change of PZT sensor. For the verification of the proposed hybrid monitoring system, a series of damage scenarios are designed to loosened bolts situations of the structural joints, and acceleration response and impedance response signatures are measured. The proposed hybrid monitoring system is implemented to monitor global damage-state and local damages in structural joints.

본 논문에서는 여러가지 형태의 결합부에 적용할 수 있는 일반적인 모델링 기법에 대하여 기술하였다. 기존의 해석방법은 특정한 결합부에만 적용이 가능하고 유한요소해석과 실험이 상호 보완적인 관계를 가진 형태의 해석방법이므로 실험이 불가능한 경우에 대해서는 적용하기 어려운 경우도 있다. 본 논문에서는 별도의 실험을 수행하지 않고 결합부 영역만을 상세하게 유한요소 모델링을 하여서 선택된 자유도에 대한 유연성 행렬(Flexibility Matrix)을 구하여 결합부의 특성을 구하는 일반적 모델링 기법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은 수치적으로 축약할 수 없는 모델-결합부가 접촉면(Contact Surface)을 가지고 있는 구조물을 효과적으로 축약할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 모델링되는 결합부의 경계조건의 영향을 배제할 수 있으며 결합부에 존재하는 비선형성도 적정범위내에서 선형화할 수 있다. 제시한 일반적 모델링 기법을 나사 결합부, 접착제 결합부(Glued Joints), 볼트 결합부에 적용하여 결합부이 특성을 구하였으며 실험을 통하여 제시한 해석방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

A design procedure for velocity-dependent supplemental dampers, such as viscous or viscoelastic dampers, required to meet the desired performance objectives was developed using displacement spectra. The amount of supplemental damping required to satisfy given performance limit state was obtained first from the nonlinear static procedure using displacement spectra, then dampers were appropriately distributed throughout the stories to realize the required damping. The proposed method was applied to multi-story steel frames, and the structures were analyzed by time history analysis to validate the accuracy of the design procedure. According to the analysis results the maximum displacements of the model structures retrofitted by the supplemental dampers turned out to be restrained well within the given target values.

This paper systematically analyzes the dynamic effects of structure approaches which are expected to have direct effects on train loads - according to the train's acceleration as the area under consideration is located in a section where acceleration of high speed railway vehicles and the train's operating speed happens. In addition, through an examination of the dynamic train loads, dynamic behavioral characteristics of embedded structures and structure approaches were analyzed and a numerical analysis has been carried out in order to evaluate the performance of track subgrade and the safety of the structure. As a result, we reach the conclusion that the dynamic effects by train loads is low, but somewhat high vertical acceleration occurs.

This paper describes the experimental study on the mechanical characteristics of a steel plate-reinforced concrete joint. As an alternative reinforced concrete structure, the SC modular construction method is widely used and studied in the field ofindustrial facility field. However, the structure characteristics of RC and SC joint are not yet studied completely. In this paper, the beam-type construction joint of RC and SC walls was made to simulate the application of SC module to the large RC structure. Also, an out-of-plane loading was applied to the test specimen in order to evaluate flexural strength and structural properties of the beam-type RC-SC joint.

Since wall system apartment used the shear wall as main lateral resistance member, installation of openings which causing section loss of walls may cause significant problem to structure. Also, there are few studies for inducing coupling beam or slabs which are occurred by installing openings. Therefore, this study planned isolated 2-story shear walls which are reduced three half-scale specimen to find out walls behavior characteristic. The test results showed that strength reduction caused by loss of effective section of walls and different result of stiffness and energy dissipation regarding to the coupling beam and coupling slabs.
