Strain gauges and the bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) method are the representative field measurement methods used for fatigue evaluationsof a steel bridge-in-service. For a fatigue reliability evaluation to assess fatigue damage accumulation, the effective stress range and the number of stress cycles applied as the fatigue details can be estimated based on the AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluations with the field measurement data of the target bridge. However, the procedure for estimating the effective stress range and the stress cycles from field measurement data has not been explicitly presented. Furthermore, studies that quantitatively compare differences in fatigue evaluation results according to the field measurement data type or processing method used are still insufficient. Here, a fatigue reliability evaluation is conducted using strain and BWIM data that are measured simultaneously. A frame model and a shell-solid model were generated to examine the effect of the accuracy of the structural analysis model when using BWIM data. Also, two methods of handling BWIM data when estimating the effective stress range and average daily cycles are defined. As a result, differences in evaluation results according to the type of field measurement data used, the accuracy of the structural analysis model, and the data handling method could be quantitatively confirmed.

A series of analytical formula to compute settlements accounting for possible variations of initial effective stresses were derived. The comparison of computed values from conventional and newly-derived equations shows that computed settlements via the conventional equation unrealistically vary with the chosen number of layers in a clay stratum and also are 45~100% less than the value obtained from the newly-derived equation with exact mathematical integration.

For a variety of elastic-plastic stress fields of plane strain specimens, many research works verified the validity of J-T approach. To generalize the validity of J-T method, however, further investigations are needed for more practical 3D structures than the idealized geometries as plane strain specimens. In this work, selecting two main types of structures such as plate and straight pipe, we perform 3D finite element(FE) modeling, and accompanying elastic, elastic-plastic FE analyses. We then study the validity of J-T application to 3D structures, and present some useful informations for the design or assessment of pipe welds by comparing the stress fields from the detailed 3D FE analyses to those predicted with J-T two parameters.

본 연구에서는 유효응력 개념에 기초를 둔 응력-변형을 관계식을 이용하여 비배수 지하굴착 거등을 모댈하기 위한 수치해석적 방법이 개발된다. 비배수 조건 시 적용되는 체적불변형 조건은 조건방정식(Penalty formulation)의 혁태로 공극수압 변수를 이용하여 주어지며 결과되는 유한요소 방정식에 상닻히 른 물외 체적변형 개수를 부여함으로서 이루어진다. 이러한 형태와 조건식은 지하굴착 과정에서 발생되는 비배수 공극수압의 계산을 가능케 한다. 체적불변형 조건 부여 시 발생되는 mesh locking은 그 결과에 상당한 영향을 미치므로 이러한 mesh locking 문제는 T-방법에 근거를 둔 salective 적분방법월 적용함으로서 해결될 수 있다. 또한 흙의 거등을 모델하기 위하여 사용 된 Cam-Clay모텔과 Drucker-prager모텔에 새로운 implicit 웅력적분 방법을 적용함으로서 효율적인 방법으로 비선형거동을 해석할 수 있다. 개발된 지하 굴착 해석방법의 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 실재 현장에서 측정된 지하굴착 거동을 예제로 이용하였다.

The numerical investigation for the effects of blasting-induced vibration on adjacent dam and pore water pressure fluctuation was conducted through solid-water coupled analysis under dynamic loading. The stability of dam was examined by peak particle velocity of core. Pore water pressure distributions were calculated by steady state flow analysis using coupled analysis on ground water and blasting-induced vibration. The influence of pore water pressure and the effective stress distribution in the ground were also investigated. Furthermore, effective stress alteration was examined by applying Finn & Byrne Model to monitor the generation and dissipation of pore water pressure.

In this study, residual stresses of the weldment were calculated by finite element analysis(FEA) and experiment. And, the crack closure behaviour and fatigue crack growth characteristics in field of residual stress of A106 Gr B steel pipe weldment were investigated under various stress ratio. Obtained results are as follows. I) $K_{op}$ was independent of $K_{max}$, and load ratio in fatigue crack growth. 2) In variation of load ratio, the scatter band of crack growth curve was reduced by half considering crack closure. and 3) Neglecting crack closure behaviour, actual fatigue crack growth rate can be underestimated' and Actual fatigue crack growth rate can be overestimated by $K_{res}$, in tensile residual stress field.

기존의 Terzaghi 압밀이론은 상대적으로 연약토층이 두껍지 않고, 초기함수비가 낮으며 적은 유효응력의 증가가 예상되는 곳에 그 적용이 제한되어 있었다. 그 이유는 Therzaghi 압미이론 자체가 미소변형률과 선형적인 압축성 및 투수성등을 기본적인 가정사항으로 내포하고 있기 때문이다. 이러한 가정사항을 극복하고자 Gibson et al. 은 일차원 비선형 유한 변형률 압밀이론에 관한 엄밀해를 제시하였다. 이 이론은 기존의 많은 가정사항들을 극복하여 실제 현상에 더욱 부합하는 예측을 할 수 있는 장점이 있는 반면, 비선형적인 응력-변형 관계, 변형-투수계수 관계의 도입과 좌표변환 및 현장의 시고이력을 그대로 적용하는데 많은 어려움이 있는 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 비선형 유한형태를 압밀이론을 이용한 압밀현상 예측을 위하여, 비선형적인 응력-변형 관계, 변형-투수계수 관계에 관한 함수식을 구성하고 이를 포함하는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발 프로그램은 많은 폼과 모듈로 구성되어 있는데, 이러한 각각의 폼과 모듈은 GUI 기능의 극대화를 통해 복잡한 이론에 익숙하지 않은 실무자들이 쉽게 본 이론을 이용할 수 있도록 설계 되었다. 또한 개발프로그램은 다양한 하중단계 및 비선형적인 응력-변형 관계, 변형-투수계수 관계에 관한 회귀분석, 각 유효응력 단계별 상이한 비선형 계수 g와 λ를 적용할 수 있으며, 계산을 위한 전처리과정은 물론 계산된 결과를 위한 다양한 후처리과정이 모두 사용자 위주의 GUI 기능을 충분히 갖도록 설계되었다. 개발 프로그램의 검증을 위하여 실제 현장의 계측자료 및 기존 연구문헌상의 결과와 본 개발 프로그램의 예측결과를 비교.분석하였으며, 다양한 간극비 상태의 비선형 계수가 해석결과에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다.

Several damages due to large displacement caused by liquefaction have been reported increasingly. Numerical procedures based on effective stress analysis are therefore necessary to predict liquefaction-induced deformation. In this paper, the fully coupled effective stress model called UBCSAND is proposed to simulate pore pressure rise due to earthquake or repeated loadings. The proposed model is a modification of the simple perfect elasto-plactic Mohr-Coulomb model, and can simulate a continuous yielding by mobilizing friction and dilation angles below failure state. Yield function is defined as the ratio of shear stress to mean normal stress. It is radial lines on stress space and has the same shape of Mohr-Columob failure envelope. Plastic hardening is based on an isotropic and kinematic hardening rule. The proposed model always causes plastic deformation during loading and reloading but it predicts elastic unloading. It is verified by capturing direct simple shear tests on loose Fraser River sand.

In this research, a study on stress shape functions was conducted to analyze the contact stress problem by using a hybrid photoelasticity. Because the contact stress problem is generally solved as a half-plane problem, the relationship between two analytical stress functions, which are compositions of the Airy stress function, was similar to one of the crack problem. However, this relationship in itself could not be used to solve the contact stress problem (especially one with singular points). Therefore, to analyze the contact stress problem more correctly, stress shape functions based on the condition of two contact end points had to be considered in the form of these two analytical stress functions. The four types of stress shape functions were related to the stress singularities at the two contact end points. Among them, the primary two types used for the analysis of an O-ring were selected, and their validities were verified in this work.

The high-tension bolted joints are clamped by the axial force which approaches the yielding strength. The introduced axial force is transmitted to the connection members pass through washer. The transferred load in connections is balanced to the compressive stress of plates, axial force in bolts and the external loads. In this mechanism, the compressive stress and slip load we dominated by the effective stiffness of bolted joints and plates. In general the effective stiffness is specified to product to the effective area and elasticity modulus in connections. In this reason, the conic projection formular which is assumed that the axial force in bolts is distributed to the cone shape and that region is related to the elastic deformation mechanism in connections, was proposed. But it conclude what kind of formula is justified. Therefore in this paper, the fatigue tests are performed to the high tension bolted joints and inspected to the phase on the friction face. And using the FEM and numerical method, it is analyzed and approximated to the compressive stress distribution and its region. Moreover, it is estimated to the effective area and to the relation the friction area to the effective compressive distribution region.
