Mechanical structures with power sources experience repeated force produced by motors. In result, the life of the pipes reduces and ultimately, the pipes collapse. Such pipes are formed into several shapes and particularly, the U-shape pipe is damaged frequently. In most cases, the U-shape pipe is made with a straight pipe by complicated bending work. During this work process, plastic deformation of the pipe produces residual stress in the pipe. This residual stress significantly affects the fracture behavior of the pipe and induces the change of the stress ratio (min. stress/Max. stress = R). For this reason, residual stress has to be evaluated. In this paper, the residual stress of a U-shaped pipe was evaluated by FEM analysis. In addition, fatigue tests of the U-shaped pipe were performed by using a uniaxial fatigue testing machine. The results of the fatigue test were modified with the results of FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis for residual stress. The modified fatigue test results of the U-shaped pipe were compared with those of a straight pipe.

The mechanical behavior of the steel tube encased high-strength concrete (STHC) composite walls under constant axial load and cyclically increasing lateral load was studied. Conclusions are drawn based on experimental observations, grey evolutionary algorithm and finite element (FE) simulations. The use of steel tube wall panels improved the load capacity and ductility of the specimens. STHC composite walls withstand more load cycles and show more stable hysteresis performance than conventional high strength concrete (HSC) walls. After the maximum load, the bearing capacity of the STHC composite wall was gradually reduced, and the wall did not collapse under the influence of the steel pipe. For analysis of the bending capacity of STHC composite walls based on artificial intelligence tools, an analysis model is proposed that takes into account the limiting effect of steel pipes. The results of this model agree well with the test results, indicating that the model can be used to predict the bearing capacity of STHC composite walls. Based on a reasonable material constitutive model and the limiting effect of steel pipes, a finite element model of the STHC composite wall was created. The finite elements agree well with the experimental results in terms of hysteresis curve, load-deformation curve and peak load.

The attack of environmental aggressive agents progressively reduces the structural reliability of buildings and infrastructures and, in the worst exposition conditions, may even lead to their collapse in the long period. A change in the material and sectional characteristics of a structural element, due to the environmental damaging effects, changes its mechanical behaviour and varies both the internal stress redistribution and the kinematics through which it reaches its ultimate state. To identify such a behaviour, the evolution of both the damaging process and its mechanical consequences have to be taken into account. This paper presents a computational approach for the analysis of reinforced and prestressed concrete elements under sustained loading conditions and subjected to given damaging scenarios. The effects of the diffusion of aggressive agents, of the onset and development of the corrosion state in the reinforcement and the corresponding mechanical response are studied. As known, the corrosion on the reinforcing bars influences the damaging rate in the cracking pattern evolution; hence, the damage development and the mechanical behaviours are considered as coupled phenomena. The reliability of such an approach is validated in modelling the diffusion of the aggressive agents and the changes in the mechanical response of simple structural elements whose experimental behaviour is reported in Literature. A second set of analyses studies the effects of the corrosion of the tendons of a P.C. beam and explores potentially unexpected structural responses caused by corrosion under different aggressive exposition. The role of the different types and of the different positions of the damaging agents is discussed. In particular, it is shown how the collapse mode of the beam may switch from flexural to shear type, in case corrosion is caused by a localized chloride attack in the shear span.

Subsea pipelines are widely used to transport hydrocarbons from ultra-deep seawater to facilities on the coast. A sandwich pipe is a pipe-in-pipe system in which the annulus between the two concentric steel pipes is filled with polymer cores and fillers for insulation and structural reinforcement. Sandwich pipeline is always exposed to complex loading such as bending moment, bulking, internal and external pressures caused by installation, operation and environmental factors. This research provides insights into the structural integrity of sandwich pipeline exposed to complex loading conditions using a linear matching method (LMM). The finite element model of the sandwich pipeline has been generated from previous research, and the model validation is performed by comparing the results of the linear analysis between the two models. The temperature dependent material properties are used to simulate the behavior of real pipeline, and the elastic-perfectly plastic (EPP) model has been taken into account for the material non-linearity. Numerical results provide comprehensive insights into the structural response of the sandwich pipeline under monotonic and cyclic loading and provide notable points about the evaluation of the plastic collapse limit and the elastic shakedown limit of the sandwich pipeline.

선체의 갑판부와 선저부 그리고 해양구조물의 기본적인 구조는 보강판이다. 보강판넬은 한쪽방향으로 위치한 보강재 혹은 종/횡 방향으로 복잡하게 위치한 구조를 이루고 있으며, 후자의 모델을 그릴리지 구조라고 부른다 선체구조설계 단계에서 선박의 종강도 평가는 가장 중요한 항목이다. 일반적으로, 극심한 해상상태에 놓인 선박의 선저부에는 호깅조건에 의해 발생되는 횡모멘트에 기인하여 압축하중이 작용하게 되며, 이와 동시에 수압하중 작용으로 인한 국부휭모멘트가 작용된다. 본 논문에서는, 구조해석 결과의 검증을 위해서 여러 가지 해석프로그램 및 현재 사용되고 있는 선급룰과의 비교를 하여 횡하중의 영향에 따른 압축최종강도에 대해 분석하고, 여러 가지 설계변수를 변화하여, 각각의 영향을 검토하고, 최종적으로 조합하중 조건에서의 횡하중의 영향에 대해서 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과들은 최종한계상태설계법에 기반을 두고, 조합하중이 작용하는 선체보강판의 구조강도 거동에 대해서 하중성분에 대한 관계를 고찰하였다.

본 논문에서는 고강도 강관을 이용한 강관 보강 그라우팅의 보강 효과 검증을 통해 현장 적용성에 관한 실험적 내용을 다루었다. 기존 강관보강 그라우팅 공법에는 SGT275 (구 STK400) 강관을 일반적으로 적용하고 있으나, 강관 보강 그라우팅이 적용된 터널의 붕락사례를 보면 강관의 과도한 꺾임, 파단 등의 사례가 발생되고 있다. 이러한 사례가 발생하는 여러 원인 중 굴착에 따른 터널의 이완하중에 대응하는 강관의 강성 부족이 그 원인이 될 수 있다. 최근 들어 고강도 강관(SGT550)의 개발로 강관의 강도가 증가했으나, 강도 증대를 고려한 보강방안에 대한 연구가 미흡하므로 이에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고강도 강관과 일반 강관의 이음 유무, 주입재의 충전 여부 등 다양한 조건에 대해 인장강도 및 휨 전단력 실험을 수행하고, 기존 제시된 설계법을 통해 강관의 강도 차이에 따른 효율적인 현장 적용성에 대한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 특히, 실제 현장에 고강도 강관과 일반 강관을 시공하고 굴착에 따른 강관의 변위형상과 응력에 대한 계측 결과를 통해 고강도 강관의 보강 효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과 고강도 강관은 휨 강도가 우수하여 보강효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 강도 증진효과로 인해 아칭효과도 기대된다.

External pre-stressing is often used in strengthening or retrofitting of steel-concrete composite beams. In this way, a proper numerical model should be able to trace the completely nonlinear response of these structures at service and ultimate loads. A three dimensional finite element model based on shell elements for representing the concrete slab and the steel beam are used in this work. Partial interaction at the slab-beam interface can be taken into account by using special beam-column elements as shear connectors. External pre-stressed tendons are modeled by using one-dimensional catenary elements. Contact elements are included in the analysis to represent the slipping at the tendon-deviator locations. Validation of the numerical model is established by simulating seven pre-stressed steel-concrete composite beams with experimental results. The model predictions agree well with the experimental results in terms of collapse loads, path failures and cracking lengths at negative moment regions due to service loads. Finally, the accuracy of some simplified formulas found in the specialized literature to predict cracking lengths at interior supports at service loading and for the evaluation of ultimate bending moments is also examined in this work.

This paper presents a simple and efficient two-dimensional rigid-body-spring network model able to accurately estimate the fractural behavior of civil fiber reinforced pavements. The proposed rigid-body-spring network model, denoted as RBSN model, considers civil fiber reinforcing materials using the beam elements and link spring elements. The RBSN method is able to model collapse due to asphalt crushing and civil fiber slip. The RBSN model is used to predict the applied load-midspan deflection response of civil fiber retrofitted asphalt specimen subjected to the three-point bending. Numerical simulations and experimental measurements are compared to based on tests available in the literature. The numerically simulated responses agree significantly with the corresponding experimental results until the maximum load. However, It should be mentioned that, in order to more accurately predict the postpeak flexural behavior of the civil fiber retrofitted asphalt pavement, development of the advanced model to simulate the slip relationship between civil fiber and asphalt is required.

In the conventional seismic design approach for a bridge pier, the function of the stopper, and shear key are to serve as mechanisms for unseating prevention devices that retain and transmit the lateral load to the pier under strong earthquakes. This frequently inflicts immense shear forces and bending moments concentrated at the plastic hinge zone. In this study, a shear panel damper plus gap (SPDG) is proposed as a low-cost alternative with high energy dissipation capacity to improve the seismic performance of the pier. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the seismic performance of the pre-stressed concrete I girder (PCI-girder) bridge equipped with SPDG. The bridge structure was analyzed using nonlinear time history analysis with seven-scaled ground motion records using the guidelines of ASCE 7-10 standard. Consequently, the implementation of SPDG technology on the bridge system yielded a notable decrease in maximum displacement by 41.49% and a reduction in earthquake input energy by 51.05% in comparison to the traditional system. This indicates that the presence of SPDG was able to enhance the seismic performance of the existing conventional bridge structure, enabling an improvement from a collapse prevention (CP) level to an immediate occupancy (IO).

압축하중 및 횡하중의 조합하중을 받는 연속 보강판넬의 좌굴강도 및 최종강도의 평가는 선체구조 안정성을 재고하는데 아주 중요한 요소이다. 예를들면, 선박의 공창 상태에서 선체외판은 수압하중에 의해서 파생되는 횡방향 면내 압축하중과 선체외판에 작용하는 횡하중은 대표적인 하중 성분이다. 지금까지의 대부분의 연구 결과들은 실험테스트 및 이론석인 접근 그리고 수치계산 방법에 의해서 수행되었으며, 단일 판 또는 보강판의 조합하중에 대한 많은 업적들이 있다. 그러나, 이들 중 대부분의 연구는 종방향 면내 압축하중과 횡하중에 의한 연구결과가 대부분이며, 횡방항 면내 압축하중과 횡하중에 대한 결과들은 상대적으로 많지가 않다. 게다가 이전의 연구들은 주고 네변 단순지지된 판부재를 고려하였으나, 실제의 구조를 고려해보면, 횡방향 프레임과 종방향 거더들이 교차되어 있는 보강 판넬 구조이다. 본 연구는, 3척의 실적선에서 얻은 이중저 판넬 모델을 적용하고, 횡하중의 크기를 변수로 한 탄소성대변형 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 이러한 여러 가지 수치 해석을 통하여, 횡하중의 크기 변화에 대한 영향과 횡방향 압축하중이 작용하는 붕괴 매커니즘에 대해서 고찰하였다.
