A simple, yet effective, material model of concrete is presented in this paper. Based on the orthotropic model in which the assumption of orthogonal principal strain axes is used, the incremental stress-strain relation of concrete is defined in the biaxial stress condition and the rotating crack model is adopted to represent realistically the change of the crack direction according to the different loading pad after cracking. Numerical results obtained from the finite element analysis are compared favourably with the available experimental data. By the parametric study, moreover, it was found that He most important factor in the structural behavior when the reinforced concrete structure is subjected to the dominent shear forces is the tension stiffening effect. The influences of the tension stiffening effect remarkably appears as the steel ratio decreases.

This study deals with the finite element analysis of the monotonic behavior of reinforced concrete beams and beam-column joint subassemblages. It is assumed that the behavior of these members can be discribed by a plane stress field. Concrete and reinforcing steel are represented by separate material models which are combined together with a model of the interaction between reinforcing bar and concrete through bond-slip to discribe the behavior of the composite reinforced concrete material. To discribe the concrete behavior, a nonlinear orthotropic model is adopted and the crack is discribed by a system of orthogonal cracks, which are rotating as the principal strain directions are changed. A smeared finite element model based on the fracture mechanics principles are used to overcome the numerical defect according to the finite element mesh size. Finally, correlation studies between analytical and experimental results and several parameter studies are conducted with the objective to estabilish the validity of the proposed model and identify the significance of various effects on the local and global response of reinforced concrete members.

The volume control method which utilize a pressure node added into a finite shell element can overcome the drawbacks of conventional load control method and displacement control method. In this study, an improved volume control method is introduced for effective analysis of path-dependant behaviors of RC structures subjected to cyclic loading. RC shell structures including RC hollow columns are anlayized by discretizing the structures with layered shell elements and by applying in-plane two dimensional constitutive equations for concrete layers and reinforcement layers of the shell elements. The so-called path dependant volume control method is verified by comparing analysis results with other data including experimental results.

본 논문에서는 기존의 선형정적해석 절차를 변형하여 부재의 이력모델 응용을 통해 부재 파괴여부에 따라 힌지처리 및 재해석의 반복과정을 자동으로 수행하는 새로운 연쇄붕괴 프로그램을 제안하였다. 6m 4경간의 철근콘크리트 골조에 철골 가새를 보강 설치한 예제구조물에 대하여 최하층 기둥부재를 제거한 후 기존 해석법과 제안 해석법을 통해 선형정적해석을 수행하였고, 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 해석 결과, 두 절차 간 부재단위의 파괴여부 및 구조물 힌지 분포 경향의 동일함을 보여 해석의 신뢰성을 확보하였으며. 기존 해석법에 비해 수행단계의 시간이 매우 짧고 자동 반복해석으로 인한 오류의 가능성도 최소화 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Seismic performance evaluation for dam safety evaluation has been continually conducted. However the behavior analysis for the spillway pier which is known as the weak point of dam is seldom reported. Therefore, this study performed the static loading tests for a prototype structures as elementary tests for the final seismic performance evaluation of dam safety. The prototype of pier structure has 1/20 scale and it adopts to strength model. And cracking loads and ultimate loads of real structures are calculated through numerical analysis using commercial FEM program (ABAQUS). The results of this study show some difference between the results of prototype tests and the results of numerical analysis. Also, the ultimate and cracking loads can be estimated through the prototype loading test and numerical analysis.

The market of Korea of post-tension system for building is growing up since 2000 and many engineers and construction companies show interest in it. This paper introduces the structure system and construction of post-tension tall buildings including recent trend in the industry of post-tension system for buildings in Korea and the point to be considered when design post-tensioned tall building. Park Polis is composed of two towers of 39 stories with a level to the top of the roof +144m and is currently under construction at Ulsan in Korea. This building designed as the unbonded post-tension floor system and will be the tallest and first high-rise post-tensioned building in Korea. The structural system is composed of the flat slabs, perimeter columns and core walls. At first, this building had designed as regular RC flat slab with perimeter beams. However, floor structure system was reconsidered because the construction company wants to improve efficiency of construction. As a result, the floor system of PARK POLIS re-designed as PT flat slab.

An ultra-high strength prestressed prismatic beam of 100 MPa in compressive strength was developed by increasing the watertightness of concrete by utilizing centrifugal molding processes without adding expensive admixtures such as silica fume. The ultra-high strength centrifugal shaped square beam installed on the wall is composited with the upper slab concrete and then subjected to a service load. Horizontal shear stress is generated by bending between the centrifugal molding beam and the floor plate, which causes the beam and floor plate to perform composite behavior through shear connections such as studs and rebars. In this study, a flexural load test was performed on a mock-up specimen that was synthesized by fabricating an RC slab on top of a 100 MPa-class centrifugal shaped beam produced at the factory. proven reliability.

A general purpose of 4-node co-rotational resultant shell element is developed for the solution of nonlinear problems of reinforced concrete, steel and fiber-reinforced composite structures. The formulation of the geometrical stiffness presented here is defined on the mid-surface by using the second order kinematic relations and is efficient for analyzing thick plates and shells by incorporating bending moment and transverse shear resultant forces. The present element is free of shear locking behavior by using the ANS (Assumed Natural Strain) method such that the element performs very well as thin shells. Inelastic behaviour of concrete material is based on the plasticity with strain hardening and elasto-plastic fracture model. The plasticity of steel is based on Von-Mises Yield and Ivanov Yield criteria with strain hardening. The transverse shear stiffness of laminate composite is defined by an equilibrium approach instead of using the shear correction factor. The proposed formulation is computationally efficient and versitile for most civil engineering application and the test results showed good agreement.

The concrete used most in construction materials. There is an overcrowded iron dimensions use of the concrete at time of the other concrete theory on the reinforcing rod back which did congestion and compares it with this, and there are more few dimensions of the aggregate than concrete, and quantity of aggregate passage is superior in mortar than concrete. If a volume rate of the aggregate writes mortar than concrete against this, therefore, unit amount increases, and quantity of paste increases and quantity of dry shrinkage than increase concrete. However, I let I regulate lay priest distribution of the aggregate, and the results rates increase and reduce unit amount and decrease quantity of dry shrinkage, and separation resistance and the gap passage characteristics are judged because it can be it in a substitute document of very superior concrete. I came to carry out the study that I watched to let I was useful a little more and do the improvement repair of a become building wall body, a basement pillar and repair reinforcement of the assistant in the reinforcing rod back, the old age when I made congestion here. I regulated lay priest distribution of the aggregate in the study and regulated substitution rate of the aggregate (40%, 50%, 60%) and divided W/C 30%, 40% standards and produced mortar and I compared quantity of air by this, slump, compression robbery and showed it this time.

A variety of techniques for strengthening have been developed, including pate bonding, external prestressing and overslabbing. Expecially, a strengthening technique for reinforced concrete beams using external unbonded reinforcement offers advantages in speed and simplicity of installation. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the capabilities of a new retrofitting technique, namely external prestressing(out-cable), for flexural strengthening of beams. Results of 2 physical tests (external Post-tension and out-cable system specimen) on strengthened reinforced concrete continuous beams are reported and compared. It is shown that the out-cable system can provide strength enhancement.
