A new composite reinforced method, namely self-compacting concrete filled circular CFRP-steel jacketing, was proposed in this paper. Experimental tests on eight RC square short columns reinforced with the new composite reinforced method and four RC square short columns reinforced with CFS jackets were conducted to investigate their eccentrically compressive behaviour. Nine reinforced columns were subjected to eccentrically compressive loading, while three reinforced columns were subjected to axial compressive loading as reference. The parameters investigated herein were the eccentricity of the compressive loading and the layer of CFRP. Subsequently, the failure mode, ultimate load, deformation and strain of these reinforced columns were discussed. Their failure modes included the excessive bending deformation, serious buckling of steel jackets, crush of concrete and fracture of CFRP. Moreover, these reinforced columns exhibited a ductile failure globally. Both the eccentricity of the compressive loading and the layer of CFRP had a significant effect on the eccentrically compressive behaviour of reinforced columns. Finally, formulae for the evaluation of the ultimate load of reinforced columns were proposed. The theoretical formulae based on the ultimate equilibrium theory provided an effective, acceptable and safe method for designers to calculate the ultimate load of reinforced columns under eccentrically compressive loading.

Short reinforced concrete bridge piers are particularly susceptible to shear failure as a consequence of the high shear/moment ratio and conservatism in the flexural strength design of existing RC bridge pier, which were constructed before 1992. In addition, shear failure is brittle and involves rapid strength degradation. Inelastic shear deformation is thus unsuitable fur ductile seismic response. It is, however, believed that there are not many experimental research works fur shear failure of the existing RC bridge pier in Korean peninsula subjected to earthquake motions. The object of this research is to evaluate the seismic performance of existing circular RC bridge piers by the quasi-static test. Existing RC bridge piers were moderate seismically designed in accordance with the conventional provisions of Korea Highway Design Specification. This study has been performed to verify the effect of aspect ratio (column height-diameter ratio). Quasi-static test has been done to investigate the physical seismic performance of RC bridge piers, such as lateral force-displacement hysteric curve, envelope curve etc.

This paper reports the results of a recent experimental study into the behavior of welded fin-plate connections to both hollow and concrete filled tubular (CFT) columns under shear. Experiments have been performed at both ambient and elevated temperatures with the aid of an electric kiln. The observed failure modes include fracture of the fin plate and tearing out of the tube around the welds. By considering the results of previously published research, the current design method for similar connections under purely tensile load, in CIDECT Guide 9, based on a deformation limit of 3% of the tube width is shown to be inadequate when evaluating the ultimate strength of such connections. By comparing the results from the current test program which failed in the fin-plate with Eurocode guidance for failure of a fin-plate alone under shear and bending load it is shown that the column face influences the overall connection strength regardless of failure mode. Concrete in-fill is observed to significantly increase the strength of connections over empty specimens, and circular column specimens were observed to exhibit greater strength than similarly proportioned square columns. A finite element (F.E.) model, developed using ABAQUS, is presented and validated against the experimental results in order that extensive parametric tests may be subsequently performed. When validating the model against elevated temperature tests it was found that using reduction factors suggested in published research for the specific steel grades improved results over applying the generic Eurocode elevated temperature steel strength reduction factors.

Cutouts are often provided in structural and aircraft components for ventilation, for access, inspection, electric lines and fuel lines or sometimes to lighten the structure. This paper addresses the effects of cutout shape (i.e., circular, square, diamond, elliptical-vertical and elliptical-horizontal) and size on buckling and postbuckling response of quasi-isotropic (i.e., $(+45/-45/0/90)_{2s}$) composite laminate under uni-axial compression. The finite element method is used to carry out the investigation. The formulation is based on first order shear deformation theory and von Karman's assumptions are used to incorporate geometric nonlinearity. The 3-D Tsai-Hill criterion is used to predict the failure of a lamina while the onset of delamination is predicted by the interlaminar failure criterion. It is observed that for the smaller size cutout area there is no significant effect of cutout shape on load-deflection response of the laminate. It is also concluded that the cutout size has substantial influence on the buckling and postbuckling response of the laminate with elliptical-horizontal cutout, while this effect is observed to be the least in case of laminate with elliptical-vertical cutout.

The use of a skirt, a vertical projection attached to the footing, is a recently developed method to increase the bearing capacity of soils and reduce foundation settlements. Most of the studies were focused on vertical skirted circular footings resting on clay while neglecting the rigidity and inclination of skirts. This study employs finite element limit analysis to investigate the bearing capacity enhancement of flexible and rigid inclined skirts in cohesionless soils. The results indicate that the bearing capacity initially improves with an increase in the skirt inclination but subsequently decreases for both flexible and rigid skirts. However, the rigid skirt exhibits more apparent optimum skirt inclination and bearing capacity enhancement than the flexible one, owing to differences in their failure mechanisms. Furthermore, the bearing capacity of the inclined skirted foundation increases with the skirt length, footing depth, and internal friction angle of the soil. In the case of rigid skirts, the bearing capacity increases linearly with skirt length, while for flexible skirts, it reaches a stable value at a certain skirt length. The efficiency of the flexible footing reduces as the footing depth and soil internal friction angle increase. Conversely, the efficiency of the rigid skirt decreases only with an increase in the depth of the footing. The paper also presents a detailed analysis of various failure patterns, highlighting the behaviour of inclined skirted footings. Additionally, nonlinear regression equations are provided to quantify and predict the bearing capacity enhancement with the inclined skirts.

구속된 콘크리트는 구속되지 않은 콘크리트에 비해 상당히 큰 강도를 갖는다. 따라서 콘크리트의 구속응력을 증가시키는 것은 강도의 증가를 유도할 수 있다. 하지만 중공교각의 경우, 심부구속력의 부재로 인하여 중공교각의 안쪽면에서 취성파괴가 발생하며, 이는 기둥의 강도 저하 및 연성의 저하를 초래한다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여, 강관 삽입 중공 RC(Reinforced Concrete) 기둥이 개발되었으며, 본 연구에서는 실험을 통하여 삽입 강관에 의한 내부 구속력의 효과를 검증하였다. 총 36개의 시험체를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험 결과를 통하여 삽입 강관의 구속력과 이로 인한 콘크리트의 강도 증가를 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 경사식 방파제의 원호활동에 대한 하중저항계수 설계법을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 국내 8개의 경사식 방파제의 설계 자료를 수집하였으며, 지반의 강도 및 단위중량, 피복제와 상치구조물의 단위중량, 상치구조물 상부에 재하되는 하중의 불확실성을 결정하였다. 다양한 해석변수의 불확실성에 대해 가장 취약한 원호활동면을 찾는 과정을 재현하기 위하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션(Monte Carlo Simulation)을 수행하였다. 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 결과는 신뢰성 분석을 위한 FORM(First-Order Reliability Method) 해석에 사용하였다. 신뢰성 분석 결과를 통해 목표신뢰도 지수에 따른 최적 하중 및 저항계수를 산정하였으며, 산정된 최적 하중 및 저항계수를 이용하여 본 연구에서 개발한 하중 및 저항 계수를 제시하였다.

원호활동파괴가 발생한 해안 폐기물 매립장에서 기초지반 전단강도의 보완과 폐기물 침출수가 지하수나 인접지반으로 유동되는 것을 차단하는 최종 시설로서 시멘트계 지중벽체를 시공한 후, 침출수 차단효과를 확인하였다. (1) 육안 확인 및 (2) 압축강도 시험에 의하면 지중에 시공된 벽체의 품질이 상당히 양호하다는 사실을 확인할 수 있고 (3) 현장 투수시험과 (4) 성분 및 성분비 분석과 (5) 질량 분석기를 통해서 얻게 되는 크로마토그램의 분포패턴 판정 등 중복적인 실험 및 조사 분석에 의해서 벽체의 수밀성이나 침출수의 이동에 대한 차단성이 매우 크다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 폐기물 매립장 내에서 발생하는 침출수와 같은 고농도 환경오염수가 매립장 밖으로 유출되거나 침투하는 것에 대한 신뢰적인 차단 여부는 이 5가지의 조사 및 시험을 실시하는 방안에 의하여 객관적으로 판단될 수 있다고 사료된다.
