Helical anchors are foundation structure that designed to resist uplift loads are installed by applying in load to shaft while rotating it into the ground. These can be a cost effective means of proving tension anchorage for foundation where soil conditions permit their installation because of ease of installation. At present time, tapered helical anchors are commonly used to carry uplift loads. The uplift capacity includes the following factors : the height of overburden above the top helix, the resistant along a cylinder, the weight of the soil in the cylinder and suction force. In order to make clear behavior characteristics of helical anchors with pullout, model tests were conducted with respect to various embedment depth, space of helix, shape of helix. Based on the experimental study, the following conclusions are drawn. 1) The uplift capacity of multi helical anchors increase with embedment ratio of anchors The increase is smooth after critical uplift capacity. 2) Critical breakout factors and critical embedment ratio of multi helical anchor exist 7∼8, 4∼6 respectively. 3) Variation of uplift capacity with helix spaces show down after S/D=5. 4) Critical breakout factors of helical anchor in the laboratory test are similar to Das's theory.

Designing pile foundations subjected to the uplift forces such as buildings, oil platforms, and anchors is becoming increasingly concerned. In this paper, the conceptual design of a new type of driven piles called expanding pile is presented and assessed. Some grooves have been created in the shaft of the novel pile, and some moveable arms have been designed at the pile tip. At first, static analyses using the finite element method were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the innovative pile on the axial bearing capacity. Then its effect on seismic behavior of moment frame is considered. Results show that the expanding arms were provided an ideal anchorage system because of the soil's noticeable locking-up effect increasing uplift bearing capacity. For example at the end of the static tensile loading procedure, displacement decrement up to 55 percent is observed. In addition, comparing the uplift bearing capacity of the usual and new pile with different lengths in sand and clay layers shows noticeable effect and sharp increase up to about two times especially in longer piles. Besides, a sensible reduction in the seismic response and the stresses in the beam-column connection between 23-36 percent are achieved that ensures better seismic behavior of the structures.

Fluid Confirmation Tests(FCT) on 1500 ground Anchors install in weathered rock were carried out to investigate upper and lower limit of elastic elongation, frictional resistant of fixed anchor body, mobilized angle between anchor body and soil. All the measured data were analysed and compared with theoretical equations. The frictional angles of diaphragm wall and anchorage system in weathered rock showed nonlinear curve between upper and lower limit of standard elongation. The FCT results indicated that the frictional resistant angles increased with higher values of surcharge load. The quality assurance on the fixed anchor location was investigated by means of measuring elastic elongation during the FCT, and comparing these with theoretical design length, the quality of anchors in this particular site found to be above average standard. The results of this research works with provide valuable guide line on quality assurance of anchors system as well as resonable prediction of friction resistance between the fixed anchor body and the weathered rock.

원자력 발전소에는 No.36(D36)이상의 대구경 철근이 사용되는데 이러한 대구경 철근으로 갈고리 정착을 할 경우, 기준에서 요구하는 구부림 및 갈고리 길이로 인해 설계 및 배근에 있어 큰 어려움을 겪을 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 확대머리 철근을 사용할 수 있다. 2008년 개정된 ACI 318에서는 확대머리철근의 정착길이식을 도입하였으며, 제정 배경 연구를 근거로 하여 횡보강근의 영향력을 무시하고 있다. 그러나 확대머리 철근이 겹침이음이나 컷오프 구간에서 사용될 경우, 인장재에 의해 피복 콘크리트를 밀어내는 힘이 발생하여 횡보강근에 작용하는 인장력이 크게 증가한다. 본 연구의 목적은 휨을 받는 부재 내에 정착된 확대머리 철근의 정착성능에 대한 횡보강근의 영향력을 평가하는 것으로, 이를 위해 횡보강근의 간격을 변수로 한 대구경 확대머리 철근의 정착실험을 수행하였다. 실험방법으로는 컷오프 구간을 모사한 실험을 수행하였으며, 확대머리 철근으로는 D43의 대구경 철근을 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 횡보강근이 없는 실험체의 경우 정착구간의 쪼갬파괴에 이어 단부의 하중이 확대머리 부근의 콘크리트에 직접적으로 작용하면서 상부 피복 콘크리트가 부재에서 탈락하는 취성적인 파괴형태가 나타났다. 또한 확대머리 철근의 발현강도가 항복강도의 절반밖에 못 미치는 매우 낮은 내력을 보였다. 이에 반해 횡보강근이 배근된 실험체의 경우 경우 횡보강근이 실험체 단부의 하중에 직접적으로 저항함에 따라 실험체 내력이 큰 폭으로 상승하였다.

건물이나 구조물 증축 시 사용되는 마이크로파일은 추가하중의 일부만을 지지하여 기존 말뚝의 경우 허용지지력을 초과하는 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 건물의 하중을 마이크로파일에 분배하고자 선압축 공법을 적용하였고, 정착성능을 개선한 웨지형 정착장치의 적용성을 확인하고자 실내재하시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과, 정착장치의 최대변형률은 항복변형률의 0.63배였고, 웨지와 콘크리트 사이 슬립발생량은 0.11 mm로 구조적인 기준을 만족하였다. 또한, 지반범용 해석프로그램인 MIDAS GTS를 활용하여 선행 압축하중, 토사층 두께, 선단 지반조건이 기존 말뚝과 마이크로파일의 반력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 해석결과, 선압축 하중의 크기가 증가할수록 기존말뚝의 반력이 감소하여 최대 36 %의 저감효과를 보였다. 토사층 두께가 5 m 증가됨에 따라 반력저감률은 4 % 감소하였고, 마이크로파일의 선단이 풍화암에 놓일 경우 풍화토와 비교하여 반력저감율이 14 % 증가하였다.

This paper investigates the change of structural characteristics of steel cable-stayed bridges after cable failure. Cables, considered as the intermediate supports of cable-stayed bridges, can break or fail for several reasons, such as fire, direct vehicle clash accident, extreme weather conditions, and fatigue of cable or anchorage. Also, the replacement of cables can cause temporary disconnection. Because of the structural characteristics with various geometric nonlinearities of cable-stayed bridges, cable failure may cause significant change to the structural state and ultimate behavior. Until now, the characteristics of structural behavior after cable failure have rarely been studied. In this study, rational cable failure analysis is suggested to trace the new equilibrium with structural configuration after the cable failure. Also, the sequence of ultimate analysis for the structure that suffers cable failure is suggested, to study the change of ultimate behavior and load carrying capacity under specific live load conditions. Using these analysis methods, the statical behavior after individual cable failure is studied based on the change of structural configuration, and distribution of internal forces. Also, the change of the ultimate behavior and load carrying capacity under specific live load conditions is investigated, using the proposed analysis method. According to the study, significant change of the statical behavior and ultimate capacity occurs although just one cable fails.

This paper provides the results of an experimental investigation into the flexural behavior of continuous two-span unbonded post-tensioned high strength concrete (HSC) beams, strengthened by end-anchored CFRP laminates of different configurations in the hogging region. Implementing two different configurations of end-anchorage systems consisting of steel plates and bolts and carefully monitoring the development of strains throughout the load history using sufficiently large number of strain gauges, the response of beams including the observed crack propagations, beam deflection, modes of failure, capacity enhancement at service and ultimate and the amount of moment redistribution are measured, presented and discussed. The study is appropriate in the sense that it covers the more commonly occurring two span beams instead of the simply supported beams investigated by others. The experiments reconfirmed the finding of others that proper installation of composite strengthening system is most important in the quality of the bond which is essential for the internal transfer of forces. It was also found that for the tested two span continuous beams, the capacity enhancement is more pronounced at the serviceability level than the ultimate. This is an important finding as the design of these beams is mostly governed by the serviceability limit state signifying the appropriateness of the suggested strengthening method. The paper provides quantitative data on the amount of this capacity enhancement.

An experimental study was conducted to develop a new base plate anchorage system for concrete filled tubular column under an axial load and a moment. The column was connected to a concrete foundation using ordinary deformed reinforcing bars that are installed at the inside and outside of the column. In order to investigate the moment resisting capacity of the system, horizontal cyclic loads are applied until the ultimate condition is reached with the axial load held constant. To derive a design method for moment resisting capacity, the reinforced concrete section approach was investigated with the assumption of strain compatibility. The results by this approach agreeded well with those of experiments when the bearing pressure of confined concrete and tangent modulus of steel bars are assumed appropriately. Also, it was found that the column interaction curve can be used to predict the yield strength of the base plate system.

The applicability of limit analysis methods in design and assessment of concrete structures generally requires a certain plastic deformation capacity. The latter is primarily provided by the ductility of the reinforcement, being additionally affected by the bond properties between reinforcing steel and concrete since they provoke strain localization in the reinforcement at cracks. The bond strength of reinforcing bars is not only governed by concrete quality, but also by construction details such as bar ribbing, bar spacing or concrete cover thickness. For new concrete structures, a potentially unfavorable impact on bond strength can easily be anticipated through appropriate code rules on construction details. In existing structures, these requirements may not be necessarily satisfied, consequently requiring additional considerations. This two-part paper investigates in a theoretical study the impacts of the most frequently encountered construction details which may not satisfy design code requirements on bond strength, steel strain localization and plastic deformation capacity of cracked structural concrete. The first part introduces basic considerations on bond, strain localization and plastic deformation capacity as well as the fundamentals of the Tension Chord Model underlying the further investigations. It also analyzes the impacts of the hardening behavior of reinforcing steel and concrete quality. The second part discusses the impacts of construction details (bar ribbing, bar spacing, and concrete cover thickness) and of additional structure-specific features such as bar diameter and crack spacing.
