The nailed joints in wood construction are commonly designed to resist and carry the lateral load but also subject to withdrawal force like uplift load due to the wind. This research was conducted to evaluate the performance of nailed joint composed of dimension lumber and sheathing materials through the nail withdrawal and unsymmetric double shear joint test, and then compared to current design values. The withdrawal strength was greatly dependant on wood specific gravity, and the withdrawal strength of I-joist with OSB showed higher value in spite of low specific gravity. The maximum withdrawal loads were greater than that of derived current design values about 5 times. The lateral resistance of Japanese larch/OSB nailed joints was higher than that of SPF/OSB nailed joint, and derived allowable lateral strength of nailed joints in this study exceeded the current design values. The failure mode of nailed joints was primarily due to the nail bending and this tendency was notable in SPF/OSB nailed joint.

Presented is a method for nonstationary response analysis of an offshore guyed tower subjected to strong earthquake motions under moderate random waves and current loadings. By taking the time varying envelope function and the auto-correlation function of the ground acceleration in terms of complex exponential functions, an analytical procedure is developed for computing time varying variances of the tower response. The stationary responses due to small random waves are obtained by using frequency domain method, and the results are combined with the nonstationary results due to earthquakes. Finally, the expected maximum responses are estimated. Through the example analyses, the nonstationary method developed in this study is verified, and the contributions of the earthquake, wave and current loadings to the total maximum response are investigated.

In this study, we constructed a database by collecting field pullout test data of the soil nailing using pressurized grouting, and suggested a method to estimate the ultimate pullout resistance using nonlinear regression analysis to overcome the problems of ultimate pullout resistance estimation using graphical methods. The load-displacement curve estimated by nonlinear regression showed a very high correlation with the field pullout test data. Estimated ultimate pullout load by nonlinear regression method was average 29% higher than estimated ultimate pullout load using previous graphical method. A sigmoidal growth model was found to be the best-fitting nonlinear regression model against rapid pullout failure. Further, an asymptotic regression model was found to be the best fit against progressive nail pullout. The unit ultimate skin friction suggested in this research reflected in the domestic geotechnical characteristics and the specifications of the pressurized grouting method. This research is expected to contribute towards establishing an independent design standard for the soil nailing by providing solutions to the problems that occur when using design charts based on foreign research.

The fire in tunnel, when failed to extinguish at early stage, tends to easily develop to high temperature and spread to entire area of the tunnel because of considerable level of fire load and smoke control facility within the tunnel, resulting in severe damage to the people and tunnel structure. This study was intended to carry out the fire test with MHC fire curve, a scenario, which has the most rapid fire rise, on assumption of load ratio of 1, 20, 40, 60 and 70%, so as to identify the thermal characteristics of the concrete against spalling and the range of fire damage. The specimen was small scale sample as defined by EFNARC and the mixing ratio was based on 24 MPa, which is considered to be the normal strength. As a result of test, 16mm spalling was occurred on the lining under the non-load condition, while no spalling was occurred with 20% and 40% of load ratio. In case of 60% of load ratio, 24 mm of spalling was occurred and it failed in 10 minutes after heating in case of 70% load condition.

This paper deals with geometrical non-linear analyses of the tapered variable-arc-length beam, subjected to the combined load with an end moment and a point load. The beam is supported by a hinged end and a frictionless sliding support so that the axial length of the deformed beam can be increased by its load. Cross sections of the beam whose flexural rigidities are functionally varied with the axial coordinate. The simultaneous differential equations governing the elastica of such beam are derived on the basis of the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. These differential equations are numerically solved by the iteration technique for obtaining the elastica of the deformed beam. For validating theories developed herein, laboratory scaled experiments are conducted.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency of various solution techniques and propose new efficient solution techniques for space trusses. Solution techniques used in this study are three load control methods (Newton-Raphson Method, modified Newton-Raphson Method, Secant-Newton Method), two load-displacement control methods(Arc-length Method, Work Increment Control Method) and three combined load-displacement control methods(Combined Arc-length Method I , Combined Arc-length MethodⅡ, Combined Work Increment Control Method). To evaluate the efficiency of these solution techniques, we must examine accuracy of their solutions, convergences and computing times of numerical examples. The combined load-displacement control methods are the most efficient in the geometric nonlinear solution techniques and in tracing post-buckling behavior of space truss. The combined work increment control method is the most efficient in tracing the buckling load of spate trusses with high degrees of freedom.

This research was carried in order to improve design technique for the vertical shaft of which design guide has not been proposed clearly. The deformation tendency of vertical shaft and distribution of the earth pressure around shaft were reviewed with both of theoretical earth pressure distribution suggested in design criteria and measured data which had been gained from 2 constructing shaft. The distribution of earth pressure applied on the vertical shaft was similar with the result of previous theory for the earth pressure proposed by Shin (2007). Moreover it was observed that asymmetric deformation and earth pressure around vertical shaft were caused by inhomogeneity and anisotropy of the ground. The asymmetric earth pressure ratio ($R_p$) in soil and weathered rock were divergent according to the shape ratio. In addition, it is more reasonable that the value of asymmetric earth pressure ratio ($R_p$) is considered less than 0.35 in the case of constructing shaft under rock.

A set of constitutive equations is formulated to predict elastic-plastic strain hardening response of sintered porous iron under combined tension and torsion. The proposed constitutive equations were capable of predicting characteristic behaviors of porous metals. Agreement between theoretical curves and experimental data for elastic-plastic response of sintered porous iron was very good for various initial porosities.

본 연구는 철근콘크리트 격납구조물에서 가상의 냉각제 유출사고에 의한 온도하중과 압력에 따른 거동을 알아보기 위한 비선형 해석을 수행하였다. 시간에 따른 온도하중을 결정하기 위하여 과도온도해석을 통해 격납구조물 단면내의 온도분포를 구하였다. 구조물은 기하학적 비선형성과 재료비선형성을 고려한 판 및 쉘요소로 이상화되며, 쉘요소는 두께방향에 따라 변하는 응력을 고려하기 위해 몇 개의 층으로 이루어진 모델을 사용하였다. 열응력은 인접한 두시간 단계에서의 온도차를 하나의 하중증가로 고려하여 초기변형 문제로 변환하여 결정되었다. 본연구에서의 수치실험에 의하여 과도온도해석에 근거한 비선형온도경사를 고려할 때의 변위가 고려하지 않을 때의 변위에 비해 크게 나타남을 알 수 있다.
