This study is intended to propose an approach to reliability-based safety evaluation as well as LRFR(Load and Resisitance Factor Rating) type capacity classification of military or civilian bridges based on the limit state models which are delived by incorporating all the uncertainties of resistance and load random variables including deterioration, and are used in a practical AFOSM (Advanced First Order Second Moment) method. The proposed methods for the assement of safety and load carrying capacity are applied for the evaluation of rating and classifications of several practical bridges against the crossing of military vehicles. Based on the observation of the numerical results, it can be concluded that the current NATO classification method which is based on the traditionl allowable stress concept can not provide real load carrying capacity but results in nominal classification, and therefore the reliability-based safety evaluation and LRFR-classification method or the corresponding rational allowable stress method proposed in this paper may have to be introduced into the classification practice.

Recently, the development of high-strength thicker steel plate above 600MPa is becoming active due to the increase in both height and member size of architectural structure. However, such steel, which is being investigated in Korea nowadays, has possibility of limited practical application because of high design code strength and high-yield ratio. Therefore, this study performed the validation for the structural performance of beam-column with combined axial force and bending moment whether this beam-column might be attributable as an architectural purpose steel. This study was conducted from the result of monotonic loading test of beam-column, based on the material properties of low-yield, 600MPa class steel which was developed during 1988-1993 in Japan. This study might provide the fundamental database for practical research for these steel which are actively being tested in Korea.

Fibers play a role to increase the tensile strength and cracking resistance of concrete structures. The post cracking behavior must be clarified to predict cracking resistance of fiber reinforced concrete. The purpose of this study is to develop a realistic analysis method for the post cracking behavior of synthetic fiber reinforced concrete members. For this purpose, the cracked section is assumed to behave as a rigid body and the pullout behavior of single fiber is employed. A probabilistic approach is used to calculate effective number of fibers across crack faces. The existing theory is compared with test data and shows good agreement. The proposed theory can be efficiently used to describe the load-deflection behavior, moment-curvature relation, load-crack width relation of synthetic fiber reinforced concrete beams.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nonlinear behavior of a cold-formed steel (CFS) shear panel, which was composed of built-up columns and tension-only diagonal straps for bracing, when excited by earthquake motions. For the purpose, shaketable tests of a full-scale two-story cold-formed steel (CFS) shear panel were conducted. in the shear panel, the diagonal strap is a major lateral force resisting system, which is a very ductile member, and the columns, which are gravity resisting members, are fabricated by wooing studs, which can't develop their full flexural strength because they may buckle locally. The test results showed that the straps dissipate most of energy of the shear panel in a tension-only and pinched way and the columns dissipate it relatively smaller than the straps but they still contribute to overall dissipation. As a result of this study, investigating real nonlinear behavior of a structure in earthquakes is a very important process by shaketable tests even though it is simple.

This study proposes a Load Factors-based Analysis Model of Optimum Reliability for the High way bridge, which is most common type of structural design, and also proposes the theoretical bases of optimum nominal safety factors as well as optimum load and resistance factors based on the expected total cost minimization. Major 2nd moment reliability analysis and design theories including both MFOSM(Mean First Order 2nd Moment) Methods and AFOSM(Advanced First Order 2nd Moment) Methods are summarized and compared, and it has been found that Lind-Hasofer's approximate and an approximate Log-normal type reliability for mula are well suited for the proposed optimum reliability study.

본 연구에서는 강관말뚝과 기초와의 연결시 보강에 사용되는 관통형 말뚝두부보강에 대한 파괴거동을 파악하기 위한 구조해석을 수행하였다. 구조물의 관공부에 대한 해석에서 철근의 인장파괴시 발생하는 관통부의 응력을 검토하고 철근의 파괴형상과 실험에서 얻어진 철근의 파괴형상을 비교하였다. 대상구조물의 전체적인 파괴거동은 인장, 압축, 전단, 휨모멘트에 대하여 파괴가 발생할 때까지 변위를 증가시키고 이때 발생하는 반력과 구조물의 파괴거동을 파악하였다. 이 때 강재의 비선형 거동 및 충진콘크리트의 비선형및 균열거동이 고려되었다. 해석의 결과로 대상구조물의 파괴거동 및 극한하중 저항능력이 평가되었다.

Through a series of analyses of specific structures it is shown that incremental collapse may be the critical design criterion and that shakedown analysis can be used as a design tool. Using shakedown analysis technique, a nonlinear structural optimization program has been developed. This incorporates : (ⅰ) design constraints on elastic stresses and deflections ; (ⅱ) constraints for the prevention of incremental collapse and soft story failure ; and (ⅲ) the constraint on the fundamental period of structure. A five-step design procedure is proposed by using this program to obtain the optimum design that satisfies all the requirements of comprehensive earthquake-resistant design.

This study develops a new hybrid passive energy dissipation device for seismic rehabilitation of an existing structure. The device is composed of a friction damper combined with a steel plate with vertical slits as a hysteretic damper. Analytical model is developed for the device, and the capacity of the hybrid device to satisfy a given target performance is determined based on the ASCE/SEI 7-10 process. The effect of the device is verified by nonlinear dynamic analyses using seven earthquake records. The analysis results show that the dissipated inelastic energy is concentrated on the hybrid damper and the maximum interstory drift of the SMRF with damping system satisfies the requirement of the current code.

단순 전단연결 구조를 가진 강철도교의 세로보 단부의 절취부위에서 많은 피로균열이 발견되었으며, 이러한 부위의 피로균열은 피로손상의 전형적인 예이다. 피로균열을 가진 세로보 절취부위의 보강방법을 연구하기 위하여 가로보 및 세로보의 상부 플랜지에 인장판을 부착한 경우와 부착하지 않은 경우로 구분하여 피로실험을 수행하였다. 피로실험에 사용된 하중은 현장에서 측정된 실동응력을 기초하여 빈도해석을 통해 산정하였다. 피로실험 결과, 인장판으로 보강한 모멘트 저항 연결구조상세가 철도교에서 균열성장을 효과적으로 정지시킬 수 있는 것으로 판명되었으며, 피로손상을 가진 절취부위의 보강방법으로 제시될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
