This paper describes the application of discretized continuum-type optimality criteria (DCOC) and the development of optimum design program for the multispan partially prestressed concrete beams. The cost of construction as objective function which includes the costs of concrete, prestressing steel, non-prestressing steel and formwork is minimized. The design constraints include limits on the maximum deflection, flexural and shear strengths, in addition to ductility requirements, and upper and lower bounds on design variables as stipulated by the design Code. Based on Kuhn-Tucker necessary conditions, the optimality criteria are explicitly derived in terms of the design variables-effective depth, eccentricity of prestressing steel and non-prestressing steel ratio. The prestressing profile is prescribed by parabolic functions. The self-weight of the structure is included in the equilibrium equation of the real system, as is the secondary effect resulting from the prestressing force. An iterative procedure and computer program for updating the design variables are developed. Two numerical examples of multispan PPC beams with rectangular cross-section are solved to show the applicability and efficiency of the DCOC-based technique.

The nonlinear modal interaction of an autoparametric system under a broadband random excitation is investigated. The specific system examined is an autoparametric vibration absorber with internal resonance, which is typical of many common structural configurations. By means of Gaussian closure scheme the dynamic moment equations explaining the random responses of the system are reduced to a system of autonomous ordinary differential equations of the first and second moments. In view of equilibrium solutions of this system and their stability we examine the system responses. We could not find the destabilizing effect of damping, which was reported in References (18) and (20). The saturation phenomenon, which is well known in deterministic nonlinear system, did not take place lot this system subject to broadband random excitation.

A nonlinear analysis model for internally confined hollow concrete-filled tube (ICH CFT) columns was suggested and was verified by the test results obtained by the previous researchers. The suggested model considered the confining effect and nonlinearity of concrete. The verified results showed that the suggested model was reasonable and reliable for predicting the behavior of an ICH CFT column. Additionally, a simple parametric study was carried out. The strength of concrete, the hollow ratio of a column, and the thickness of an inner tube were selected as parameters affecting the behavior of an ICH CFT column. The analysis results showed that the concrete strength and the thickness of the inner tube affect the axial strength and moment capacity of the column while the hollow ratio affects only its axial strength.

실제구조물의 균열을 노치를 삽입하는 방법으로 시뮬레이션하고 콘크리트 강도와 철근비를 변수로하는 실험적 연구를 통하여 철근콘크리트 보의 강판접착에 의한 보강효과를 규명하였다. 보강철근비와 보강된 보의 최대내력과의 관계를 회귀식을 통하여 제안하고 강판보강도니 보의 최대내력과 연성측면에서 구조적 거동을 고찰하였으며 최대내력시까지 외부강판과 철근콘크리트 보의 합성작용이 유지되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 노치에 의하여 시뮬레이션된 균열의 영향을 고려하여 강판보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 휨강성을 평가하도록 실험결과를 회귀분석하여 실험식을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 철근비와 보강판비를 조정한 보강철근비를 변수로 탄소섬유쉬트 접착된 철근콘크리트 보에 대하여 그 변형특성과 강도특성 및 파괴모드를 실험적으로 고찰한 것이다. 철근비와 보강판비가 증가할수록 최대내력은 증가하는 경향을 보이지만 탄소섬유쉬트의 겹수가 증가할수록 철근비 증가의 경우와는 달리 에너지흡수능력이 저하된다. 철근비와 보강판비에 따른 파괴모드를 구분하고 시험결과와 비교, 고찰하였던 바 파괴모드와 연성의 측면에서 보강철근비 е의 한계값을 0.87 max으로 제안하였다．탄소섬유쉬트와 철근콘크리트 보의 합성작용이 철근항복이후까지 유지되어 비선형적인 거동을 보임으로써 구조적거동이 양호하게 나타나는 것으로 입증되었다.

Axial load tests and cyclic load tests for FRP reinforced rectangular CFT columns were carried out The main parameters were width-thickness ratio of a steel tubeand FRP layer numbers for the axial load tests and were concrete strength and FRP layer numbers for cyclic load tests. The maximum strength and ductility capacity were compared between the current CFT columns and the FRP reinforced CFT columns. Finally, the axial design formulas were presented for the FRP reinforced CFT columns.

Investigations on the behavior of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete beams with shear confinement are accomplished to determine their ultimate shear strength including diagonal tension strength. The parameters varied were the shear confinement ratio(Ps), and fiber volume fraction(Vs). Ultimate shear strength increased significantly in steel fiber reinforced concrete beam without shear confinement. In steel- fiber reinforced high strength concrete beams with shear confinement, there is no increase of ultimate shear strength but shows much beneficial effects of Ductility Capacity.

For a long time, design methodologies strive to systematize the design process in order to make the practice more efficient and effective. One of such methodologies is Axiomatic Design. However, this design theory still has some problems and is not completely settled. In this paper, the new issue for the non-linear design in Axiomatic Design is suggested and the representation of system architecture by flow chart is corrected. In the case that the design equation varies as a function of the variation of DP ($\delta$DP), the design should be regarded as the nonlinear design because the design equation is not a constant. When system architectures are represented by a flow chart, all systems could not be independently represented. However, by adding the notation of the end of decoupling to the notations using in flow chart, those can be independently represented.
