In this paper, the two-dimensional(2D) and three-dimensional(3D) analyses have been performed in order to evaluate the structural integrities and compare 2D and 3D results for nozzles attached to cylindrical shells. Three nozzles, which are currently used in the nuclear power plant, are chosen to evaluate the structural integrities, and each nozzle is subjected to internal pressure, temperature variation and external loads. It is found that the 2D analysis for internal pressure should be performed with a factor of more than 1.5 or a stress concentration factor; 2D and 3D analysis results for temperature variation are almost similar to each other regardless of cladding; and the analysis results for external loads by WRC Bulletin 297 are more conservative than the 3D analysis results.

In plant industry, sulfur storage tank is made of steel and annular plate is connected with concrete foundation of ring wall type by anchor bolt. Due to keep sulfur at high temperature in tank by coil, sulfur storage tank is expanded larger than another tank stores fluid at room temperature. Generally, structural design of tank foundation is performed analysis with loading of temperature gradient between inner and outer surface, this method can't consider the phenomenon that load is intensively transferred to concrete foundation at anchor bolt. This means that temperature load is underestimated and causes crack of concrete near anchor bolt. In this study, evaluation formula considering temperature load transfer mechanism through anchor bolt is proposed and load acting on concrete foundation is rationally decided. For this purpose, it is analyzed variation of thermal load per various anchor bolt number using finite element model including tank annular plate and anchor bolt. Solution is proposed as specified term combining result of analysis and theoretical solution for evaluating load transferred by anchor bolt. For confirmation of validation of proposed formula, it is applied in design of sulfur storage tank at plant site, it shows that the formula can be practically applied.

본 논문에서는 9 % Ni강 LNG 저장탱크 조사를 통해서 유한요소해석을 수행하여 구조건전성을 평가하였으며 실용에서 활용할 수 있는 자료를 제시하였다. 과거의 LNG 저장탱크의 설계는 2차원 선에서만 유한요소해석이 수행되었으나 보다 진보된 하드웨어와 소프트웨어의 발전으로 3차원 유한요소해석이 가능케 되었다. 본 연구에서는 9 % Ni 강 LNG 저장탱크 내조의 정적 구조 해석이 상용 유한 요소 해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 통해 수행되었다. LNG 저장 탱크 내조 시공 시 용접부 형상을 참고하여 용접부 모델을 고려한 해석을 각각 수행하였다. 용접부의 탄성계수의 변화를 통하여 최대응력과 최대변위를 계산하였다. 실제 LNG tank의 운용 시 발생하는 하중은 자중과, 수두 압과, 온도차에 의한 열응력이며 이들이 복합적으로 작용하였을 시, 용접선을 고려하지 않은 모델에 대해서는 최대응력이 207 MPa이며, 동일 조건에서 용접선을 포함한 모델에 대해 해석을 수행한 결과로서 최대응력이 그보다 약 100 MPa 정도 상승한 결과가 나타났다. 하중조건에서 온도차에 의한 열응력을 고려함과 고려하지 않음을 비교함으로서 실제 열응력에 대해서는 내조에 큰 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였다.

Joints are provided in cement concrete pavements to control transverse and longitudinal cracking that occur due to restrained deformations caused by moisture and temperature variations in the slab. But the constuction of joints reduces the load-carrying capacity of the pavement at the joints, and pavements have been deteriorated by cracks at the slab edges along the joints due to traffic loads. Therefore, it is important to analyze the behavior of joints accurately in the design of cement concrete pavements. In this study, the mechanical behavior of cement concrete pavement slabs is analyzed by the plate-finite element model, and Winkler foundation model is adopted to analyze the subgrades. The load transfer mechan¬ism of joints are composed of dowel action, aggregate interlocking, and tied-key action, and the analytical pro¬gram is developed using these joint models. Using this numerical model as an analysis tool, the effects of joint parameters on the behavior of pavements are investigated.

The bridge bearings are devices absorbing the displacements of the superstructure. KS F 4420 relative to the design of elastomeric bearings in Korea allows shear deformation up to 70% of total rubber height. For the elastomeric bearings to fulfill their shear function required in the design, the stability of allowable shear strain of elastomeric bearings relative to the shear failure should be guaranteed. Moreover considering the possibility that elastomeric bearings are applied to the seismic design together with isolation devices, elastomeric bearings is supposed to display higher shear performance. In this paper ultimate shear performance tests were performed. The measured ultimate shear strains were over 200%. Therefore an allowable shear strain provision becomes safe. But elastomeric bearings expected to show their performance in one united body reveled the separation of components near 200% shear strain. These separation in elastomeric bearing can cause unexpected impact or concentrated stress to bridge system considering to application of seismic design. Therefore provision relevant to separation problem is necessary.

Asymmetric Slimflor Beam had been unveiled with Thor beam (Hat beam) in Sweden since the late 1970s and had been developed by British Steen and SCI. In the major advanced countries in Europe after the early 1990s have interested in and developed this method, it has been concrened as the absence of hot-rolled section steel in the United Kingdom and welded of asymmetric section steel in Finland in the 2000s. It can be increase total floor area about 10%, save the interior and exterior materials, reduce the waste through reduction of the floor height. And it has more excellent fire resistance performance because less exposed than a regular composite steel beam in fire. This study is purpose that, a fire resistance performance of the Asymmetric Slimflor Beam in fire, it compared the temperature range with deflection of structure by fire behavior and load ratio of structure through change the shape of the steel cross-section in standard fire condition.
