Many existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures need to be strengthening for reason such as poor construction quality, low ductility or designing without considering seismic effects. One of the strengthening methods is strengthening technique with eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The characteristic element of these systems is the link element and its length is very important in terms of seismic behavior. The link element of Y shaped EBF systems (YEBFs) is designed as a short shear element. Different limits are suggested in the literature for the link length. This study to aim experimentally investigate the effect of the link length for the suggested limits on the behavior of the RC frame system and efficiency of strengthening technique. For this purpose, a total of 5 single story, single span RC frame specimens were produced. The design of the RC frames was made considering seismic design deficiencies. Four of the produced specimens were strengthened and one of them remained as bare specimen. The steel YEBFs were used in strengthening the RC frame and the link was designed as a shear element that have different length with respect to suggested limits in literature. The length of links was determined as 50mm, 100mm, 150mm and 200mm. All of the specimens were tested under cyclic loads. The obtained results show that the strengthening technique improved the energy consumption and lateral load bearing capacities of the bare RC specimen. Moreover, it is concluded that the specimens YB-2 and YB-3 showed better performance than the other specimens, especially in energy consumption and ductility.

In this study, a new type of isolation bearing is proposed by combining S-shaped steel plate dampers (SSDs) with a spherical steel bearing, and the seismic control effect of a five-span standard high-speed railway bridge is investigated. The advantages of the proposed S-shaped steel damping friction bearing (SSDFB) are that it cannot only lengthen the structural periods, dissipate the seismic energy, but also prevent bridge unseating due to the restraint effectiveness of SSDs in the large relative displacements between the girders and piers. This study first presents a detailed description and working principle of the SSDFB. Then, mechanical modeling of the SSDFB was derived to fundamentally define its cyclic behavior and obtain key mechanical parameters. The numerical model of the SSDFB's critical component SSD was verified by comparing it with the experimental results. After that, parameter studies of the dimensions and number of SSDs, the friction coefficient, and the gap length of the SSDFBs were conducted. Finally, the longitudinal seismic responses of the bridge with SSDFBs were compared with the bridge with spherical bearing and spherical bearing with strengthened shear keys. The results showed that the SSDFB can not only significantly mitigate the shear force responses and residual displacement in bridge substructures but also can effectively reduce girder displacement and prevent bridge unseating, at a cost of inelastic deformation of the SSDs, which is easy to replace. In conclusion, the SSDFB is expected to be a cost-effective option with both multi-stage energy dissipation and restraint capacity, making it particularly suitable for seismic isolation application to high-speed railway bridges.

The challenging aspect of CWR (continuous welded rail) is the additional axial forces in rails, mainly due to the thermal expansion of steel plate girder and rail itself. It has been found that these axial forces are proportional to girder length, total bridge length and bolt tightening forces. Also these forces are dependent to girder support conditions, types of bearings and their arrangements. With CWR, the authors' previous studies show that performance improvements like noise reduce, fatigue resistances and bearing durability increment can be expected. In addition to these effects, secondary effects due to the semi integral behavior between rail and bridge girder also can be expected. Special bearings which can reduce the absolute maximum axial forces have been developed, and applied to real 100m span bridge. The performance improvements were verified through site measurements and numerical analysis. The purpose of this study is to confirm the expected performance improvement aspects of steel plate girder bridges with CWR. To verify these aspects, girder stiffness changes, rail axial force changes, girder displacements and noise level were thoroughly measured and compared.

캠축의 진동 응답을 구하기 위해 캠축을 불균형 다단계 로터 베어링계로 해석하였으며, 복잡한 형상과 하중조건을 고려하여 유한요소법을 사용하였다. 유한요소 방정식을 유도한 후에 Newmark 법을 사용하여 진동 응답을 구하였다. V-8 엔진 캠축의 회전 진동 응답을 구하여 측정치와 비교하였다. 캠축의 변동 응력을 구하고, 응력 집중 효과를 고려한 다음에 Goodmann 식에 근거하여 피로 해석을 수행하였다. 캠축의 회전 진동에서는 굽힘 효과가 지배적이며, 인접하는 베어링 간격에 가장 큰 영향을 받는다. 캠축에 가해지는 하중의 변화가 클 경우에는 하중의 변화에 상응하여 시간에 따라 변화하는 베어링 계수를 적용하여야 함을 알 수 있었다.

주축은 공작기계의 핵심요소로서 주축의 정 동적 특성은 공작물의 가공정밀도에 직접적으로 영향을 미친다. 주축의 특성은 축 크기, 베어링 간격, 내장모터의 위치 등에 의해 결정된다. 그러므로 축 크기, 베어링 간격, 모터위치의 선정은 주축 특성을 개선하는데 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 40,000rpm 고속주축의 정 동적 해석과 최적 설계에 관한 연구로, 유한요소해석과 최적화를 위한 통계분석을 하였다. 이를 위하여 반응표면법을 사용하여 목적함수와 설계변수를 최적화하였다. 최적화 대상은 주축의 고유진동수의 최대화와 변위의 최소화이다. 설계변수는 축길이, 축직경, 베어링 간격, 모터위치로 선정했다. 최적설계를 통해 도출된 설계안으로 초기모델보다 개선된 결과를 얻을 수 있었고, 본 연구의 결과를 주축 설계에 적용하면 주축의 정 동적 특성 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, in-situ static and dynamic tests of four pre-stressed concrete (PC) track beams with different span lengths and curvatures in a straddle monorail transit system were reported. In the static load tests, the strain and deflection at critical sections of the PC track beams were measured to determine the load bearing capacity and stiffness. The dynamic responses of strain, deflection, acceleration, and displacement at key positions of the PC track beams were measured under different train speeds and train loads to systematically study the dynamic behaviors of the PC track beams. A three-dimensional finite element model of the track beam-vehicle coupled vibration system was established to help understand the dynamic behavior of the system, and the model was verified using the test results. The research results show that the curvature, span length, train speed, and train loads have significant influence on the dynamic responses of the PC track beams. The dynamic performance of the PC track beams in the curve section is susceptible to dynamic loads. Appropriate train loads can effectively reduce the impact of the train on the PC track beam. The PC track beams allow good riding comfort.

In many fiber concrete beams with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), debonding occurs between the carbon sheets and the concrete due to the low strength of the bonding resin. A total of 42 fiber concrete beams with a cross-section of 10×10 cm with a span length of 50 cm are fabricated and retrofitted with CFRP and subjected to a 4-point bending test. Graphene Oxide (GO) at 1, 2, and 3 wt% of the resin is used to improve the mechanical properties of the bonding resins, and the effect of length, width, and the number of layers of CFRP and resin material are investigated. The crack pattern, failure mode, and stress-strain curve are analyzed and compared in each case. The results showed that adding GO to polyamine resin could improve the bonding between the resin and the fiber concrete beam. Furthermore, the optimum amount of nanomaterials is equal to 2% by the weight of the resin. Using 2% nanomaterials showed that by increasing the length, width, and number of layers, the bearing and stiffness of fiber concrete beams increased significantly.

Trouble by excessive axial stress in CWR layed on a bridge is frequently happen, and this problem is induced from lack of considering on the track/structure interface on preliminary design stage. In this study, the sensitivity evaluation for the major influencing parameters, that is, expansion length of span, stiffness of super structure, arrangement of bearing, and strength of sub-structure, to the axial force in CWR on a bridge is conducted. From the sensitivity study, the guideline to reduce axial force efficiently in CWR for bridge engineer was suggested. The suggested guideline may not applicable for every case, but it is helpful for preliminary design of bridge.

본 연구에서는 북한 건설환경을 고려한 초고성능 콘크리트 프리캐스트 교량 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 맞춤형 교량 시스템은 최근에 개발된 압축강도 120MPa 이상, 직접인장강도 7MPa 이상을 갖는 초고성능 콘크리트를 적용하여 설계, 제작 및 구조성능평가를 통하여 북한의 적용 가능성을 분석하였다. 설계를 위해 북한의 자동차짐(30, 40, 55)을 남한의 KL-510 하중과 비교한 결과, 하중이 증가함에 따라 단면이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 구조성능평가를 위하여 지간장 30m 교량 실험체를 초고성능 콘크리트를 이용하여 제작하였다. 휨 실험을 통하여 하중 분석을 수행한 결과, 설계하중 대비 측정하중은 초기균열하중상태에서 약 167%의 단면성능과 극한한계상태에서 약 134% 이상의 내하력을 확보하여 본 실험에서 요구하는 성능을 만족하였다. 이러한 결과는 기존의 강합성 거더교로 제작하는 장지간 교량 대비 약 11%의 상부공사비가 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러므로, 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 60m 이상 장지간 맞춤형 교량 시스템을 활용한다면 충분한 가격 경쟁력을 확보 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
