Many researches have been conducted to describe the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams with openings, and were generally concentrated on the shear behaviours. The objective of this paper is to study the shear and bending capacities of RC beams with openning. In experimental study, a total of seven RC beam with circular opennings under monotonic loading conditions were investigated. The parameters used in this study include the openning size and the existence of re-bar.

The vibration analysis of the circular arch as a member of a structure has been an important subject of mechanics due to its various applications to many industrial fields. In particular, circular arches with variable cross section are widely used to optimize the distribution of weight and strength and to satisfy special architectural and functional requirements. The Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) and Differential Transformation Method (DTM) were recently proposed by Shu and Zou, respectively. In this study, GDQM and DTM were applied to the vibration analysis of circular arches with variable cross section. The governing equations of motion for circular arches with variable cross section were derived. The concepts of Differential Transformation and Generalized Differential Quadrature were briefly introduced. The non-dimensionless natural frequencies of circular arches with variable cross section were obtained for various boundary conditions. The results obtained using these methods were compared with those of previous works. GDQM and DTM showed fast convergence, accuracy, efficiency, and validity in solving the vibration problem of circular arches with variable cross section.

This paper deals with free vibrations of the tapered Timoshenko beam in which both the rotatory inertia and shear deformation are included. The cross section of the tapered beam is chosen as the rectangular cross section whose depth is constant but breadth is varied with the parabolic function. The fourth order ordinary differential equation with respect the vertical deflection governing free vibrations of such beam is derived based on the Timoshenko beam theory. This governing equation is solved for determining the natural frequencies corresponding with their mode shapes. In the numerical examples, three end constraints of the hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped and clamped-clamped ends are considered. The effects of various beam parameters on natural frequencies are extensively discussed. The mode shapes of both the deflections and stress resultants are presented, in which the composing rates due to bending rotation and shear deformation are determined.

The present study concerns modelling the structural behaviour for concrete structure into the crack initiation at corrosion of steels. The degradation source included the axial load and steel corrosion. A development of the rust formed on the steel surface was considered with the interfacial gap between steel and concrete. As a result, the tensile damage could occur on the surface of concrete into the cracking with no steel corrosion, which could be further developed by the increasing rust formation, while the cracking at the steel-concrete interface was mainly attributed to the compressive deformation, being restricted within the interfacial zone.

This paper deals with the elastica of deflected cantilever column with the constant volume. The columns are subjected to combined loads consisted of an axial compressive load and a couple moment at the free end. Differential equations governing the elastica of such column are derived, in which both the effects of taper type and shear deformation are included. Three kinds of taper types are considered: linear, parabolic and sinusoidal tapers. Differential equations are solved numerically to obtain the elastica of objective columns. The effects of various system parameters on the elastica are investigated extensively. Experimental studies were carried out in order to verify the theoretical results of non-linear behavior of the elasticas.

This paper deals with buckling loads of the column with the constant surface area. The shape function of variable column depth is chosen as the linear taper. The ordinary differential equation governing buckled shapes of the column is derived based on the dynamic equilibrium equation of such column subjected to an axial load. Three kinds of end constraint of hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped and clamped-clamped are considered in numerical examples. Effects of the column parameters on buckling loads are extensively discussed. Especially, section ratios of the strongest column are calculated, under which the maximum, i.e. strongest, buckling loads are achieved. Also the buckled shapes are obtained for searching the nodal points where the inner transverse supports are simply installed to increase the buckling loads.

This paper deals with the static and dynamic optimal shapes of both clamped columns with constant volume. The parabolic taper with the regular polygon cross-section is considered, whose material volume and column length are held constant. Numerical methods are developed for solving natural frequencies and buckling loads of columns subjected to an axial compressive load. Differential equations governing the free vibrations of such column are derived. The Runge-Kutta method is used to integrate the differential equations, and the Regula-Falsi method is used to determine natural frequencies and buckling loads, respectively. From the numerical results, dynamic stability regions, dynamic optimal shapes and configurations of strongest columns are presented in figures and tables.

This paper deals with the free vibration analysis of compressive tapered members resting on elastic foundation using the Differential Quadrature Method. Based on the differential equation subjected to the boundary conditions, adopted from the open literature, which governs the free vibrations of such member, this equation is applied to the Differential Quadrature Method. For computing natural frequencies, the numerical procedures are developed by QR Algorithm, in which the Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto method is used for choosing the grid points. The numerical methods developed herein for computing natural frequencies are programmed in FORTRAN code, and all solutions obtained in this study are quite agreed with those in the open literature.

하천의 수위와 유량에 대한 정확한 정보는 이수, 치수와 같은 수자원 관리에 있어서 가장 기본적인 기초자료가 된다. 하천 수위와 유량 자료를 확보하기 위한 지속적인 직접 계측 방법은 많은 시간과 비용이 소모되며, 홍수 시에는 위험성이 존재하여 자료 확보가 불가능하다. 따라서 수치모형을 이용한 수위-유량 자료의 예측과 활용이 필요하며, 2차원 수치모형의 경계조건을 설정할 경우에도 활용할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 복단면 개수로 및 불규칙한 하상을 보이는 횡단면 상에서의 단위유량 예측을 위한 유한요소모형을 개발한다. 지배방정식은 Wark 등 (1990)이 제시한 운동량방정식을 이용하며, 단면형상과 Manning 조도계수, 그리고 수위를 알면, 결과적으로 흐름방향 단위유량의 횡방향 분포를 얻을 수 있다. 개발된 모형의 검증을 위해 실측 자료와 비교하며, 또한 Darcy-Weisbach 마찰계수를 이용하는 Darby와 Thorne (1996)의 모형 결과와도 비교한다. 검증된 모형의 알고리즘을 2차원 모형의 상류단 경계조건 설정에 활용하여, 절점별 유입유량을 차등분배 시켰을 때와 그렇지 못했을 때의 결과를 비교한다. 또한 수위를 경계조건으로 입력하였을 때 개발 모형을 활용하여 유입유량을 예측하는 활용방안을 제시한다.

본 연구는 복단면구조의 수로에서 이차류 및 흐름특성을 비교, 관측하는 것이며 이러한 흐름특성을 연구하기 위해 폭 1.2 m, 길이 14 m, 높이 0.6 m인 실험수로를 이용하여 수심비 0.25 및 0.40 조건에서 0.05, 0.10 CMS의 유량으로 총 4가지 조건으로 실험을 진행하였고 이를 비교하기 위해 3차원 수치해석모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 수치해석결과와 수리실험결과를 비교하였다. 주수로 및 홍수터의 수심과 유량의 조건이 각각 다른 4가지 조건 별 변화를 수리실험과 수치해석을 통해 분석한 결과, Shino & Knight(1991)에서의 언급한 내용과 부분적으로는 동일한 결과를 보였으나, 수치해석 부분에서의 결과와는 차이를 보였다. 일반적으로 복단면구조에서 발생하는 이차류는 수위 및 수심별 유속의 차이에서 발생하는 연직방향의 유속의 영향과 복단면과 주수로의 구조적 차이에서 발생하는 횡방향 유속의 영향과 같은 복합적인 작용으로인해 발생하게 되지만 수치해석의 결과에서는 수위차이에 의한 연직방향의 유속이 횡방향 유속보다 지배적인 결과를 보여 본 연구 중 고유속의 조건에서는 이차류의 형성이 수리실험 및 기존 연구결과들과 차이를 보였다.
