This study is based on the use and performance of bamboo reinforcements in construction of low-cost structures. This study investigated the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo reinforcements. Bamboo reinforced concrete beam specimens were tested with different reinforcement ratios and observed the load capacity, deflection and failure patterns. It was observed that, flexural strength of bamboo reinforced column is sufficient higher than plain cement concrete and comparable to steel reinforced concrete beams. Bamboo reinforced concrete columns with different reinforcement ratio also tested and observed the ultimate compressive strength and failure pattern. It found, all columns failed in a similar pattern due to crushing of concrete. According to cost analysis, bamboo reinforced beams and columns with moderate reinforcement ratio showed the best strength-cost ratio among plain cement concrete and steel reinforced concrete.

중동지역의 Sabkha층 탄산질 모래는 낮은 전단강도를 나타내며, 입자파쇄시 내부공극의 외부노출로 인한 즉시침하와 파쇄입자의 재배열로 인한 시간 의존적 이차침하가 발생된다. 현장 대형기초에 의한 Sabkha층의 침하특성을 분석하기 위하여 Hydrotest를 수행하였고, 실내시험 결과와 비교하였다. 삼축압축시험 결과 일차입자파쇄의 정도에 따라 Sabkha층 GL-1.5 m에서 Strain-hardening, GL-7.0 m에서 Strain-perfect, GL-7.5 m에서 Strain-softening 형태의 응력-변형 거동이 나타났다. 일반적으로 전반전단파괴는 입자가 조밀하고 지반의 강도가 큰 경우 발생하나 Sabkha층 탄산질 모래에서는 Strain-softening 거동 발생시 Strain-hardening과 Strain-perfect 거동에 비하여 오히려 입자파쇄 강도가 작아지는 현상이 발생하였다. 이러한 응력-변형 특성은 상대밀도 증가시 전단강도가 증가하는 석영질 모래의 특성과는 상이한 것이다. 현장 Hydrotest시 입자파쇄의 영향으로 간극수압 소산 후에도 지속적인 이차압축침하가 발생되었으며, 입자파쇄응력이 상대적으로 작고 Strain-softening 거동, 혹은 Strain-perfect 거동을 나타낸 하부 Sabkha층의 입자파쇄가 기초침하에 지배적인 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

Anchor channels are commonly used for façade, tunnel, and structural connections. These connections encounter various types of loadings during their service life, including high rate or impact loading. For anchor channels that are placed close and parallel to an edge and loaded in shear perpendicular to and towards the edge, the failure is often governed by concrete edge breakout. This study investigates the transverse shear behavior of the anchor channels under quasi-static and high rate loadings using a numerical approach (3D finite element analysis) utilizing a rate-sensitive microplane model for concrete as constitutive law. Following the validation of the numerical model against a test performed under quasi-static loading, the rate-sensitive static, and rate-sensitive dynamic analyses are performed for various displacement loading rates varying from moderately high to impact. The increment in resistance due to the high loading rate is evaluated using the dynamic increase factor (DIF). Furthermore, it is shown that the failure mode of the anchor channel changes from global concrete edge failure to local concrete crushing due to the activation of structural inertia at high displacement loading rates. The research outcomes could be valuable for application in various types of connection systems where a high rate of loading is expected.

Even though extensive researches have been performed for steam explosion due to their complex mechanisms and inherent uncertainties, establishment of severe accident management guidelines and strategies is one of state-of-the arts in nuclear industry. The goal of this research is primarily to examine effects of vessel failure modes and locations on nuclear facilities under typical steam explosion conditions. Both discrete and integrated models were employed from the viewpoint of structural integrity assessment of steel components and evaluation of the cracking and crushing in reinforced concrete structures. Thereafter, comparison of systematic analysis results was performed; despite the vessel failure modes were dominant, resulting maximum stresses at the all steel components were sufficiently lower than the corresponding yield strengths. Two failure criteria for the reinforced concrete structures such as the limiting failure ratio of concrete and the limiting strains for rebar and liner plate were satisfied under steam explosion conditions. Moreover, stresses of steel components and reinforced concrete structures were reduced with maximum difference of 12% when the integrated model was adopted comparing to those of discrete models.

This study was conducted to investigate the residual bearing capacity of steel-concrete composite beams under high-cycle fatigue loading through experiments and theoretical analysis. Six test beams with stud connectors were designed and fabricated for static, complete fatigue, and partial fatigue tests. The failure modes and the degradation of several mechanical performance indicators of the composite beams under high-cycle fatigue loading were analyzed. A calculation method for the residual bearing capacity of the composite beams after certain quantities of cyclic loading cycles was established by introducing nonlinear fatigue damage models for concrete, steel beam, and shear connectors beginning with the material residual strength attenuation process. The results show that the failure mode of the composite beams under the given fatigue load appears to be primarily affected by the number of cycles. As the number of fatigue loadings increases, the failure mode transforms from mid-span concrete crushing to stud cutting. The bearing capacity of a 3.0-m span composite beam after two million fatigue cycles is degraded by 30.7% due to premature failure of the stud. The calculated values of the residual bearing capacity method of the composite beam established in this paper agree well with the test values, which indicates that the model is feasibly applicable.

깊은 보의 파괴거동은 전단경간과 유효깊이의 비(a/d)에 따라 크게 변한다. $a/d{\leq}1.0$의 깊은 보는 복부의 쪼갬현상과 하중점과 재하점 부근에서의 콘크리트의 연화현상을 동반하는 파괴모드가 지배적인 파괴모드가 되는 것과 복부에 배치된 전단철근은 보의 파괴모드를 변화시키는 역할을 하고, 이러한 목적으로 복부철근을 배근할 때에는 반드시 연직 및 수평철근을 동시에 사용하거나 또는 사인장균열에 직각을 이루도록 철근을 배치하여야 한다. 한편, 1.0${\leq}2.5$의 깊은 보의 경우, 전단파괴시 주인장철근이 항복상태에 도달하지 않도록 충분히 배치되어져 있다면 복부에 배치된 수평철근으로 인한 전단강도 증가는 거의 기대하기 어렵다. 하지만 연직전단철근은 1.0${\leq}2.5$의 깊은 보가 일찍 타이드아치기구로 전이되는 현상을 방지함으로서 전단강도를 증대시키는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 깊은 보에 대한 기존의 실험연구로부터 얻어진 파괴거동과 그것에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자들에 대해 정성적으로 분석하고, 소성이론을 적용하여 파괴강도를 구하는데 기초가 되는 역학모델을 정의하였다. 또한 정의된 역학모델을 근거로 소성이론의 상계정리(upper bound theorem)를 적용하여 a/d가 1이하의 깊은 보에 대한 전단강도식을 이론적으로 유도하였다. 이 연구에서 제안된 전단강도 산정식은 $a/d{\leq}1.0$의 깊은 보의 전단강도를 정확하게 예측하였다.

In the present paper, a coaxial rotating smeared crack model is proposed for mass concrete in three-dimensional space. The model is capable of applying both the constant and variable shear transfer coefficients in the cracking process. The model considers an advanced yield function for concrete failure under both static and dynamic loadings and calculates cracking or crushing of concrete taking into account the fracture energy effects. The model was utilized on Koyna Dam using finite element technique. Dam-water and dam-foundation interactions were considered in dynamic analysis. The behavior of dam was studied for different shear transfer coefficients considering/neglecting fracture energy effects. The results were extracted at crest displacement and crack profile within the dam body. The results show the importance of both shear transfer coefficient and the fracture energy in seismic analysis of concrete dams under high hydrostatic pressure.

Eco-robot for collecting recycling products is the machine which collects non-industrial wastes such as cans, PET bottles and etc. to reuse them as recycling resources. This eco-robot is operated in the condition that it should compress and hold various products without knowing their geometric shapes and material properties. For this reason reliability problems like malfunction or failure. comes to emerge, but the reliability test conditions to assess its performance and durability have not been founded yet. Therefore in this research failure mechanism of the eco-robot was analyzed and life test equipment which can reproduce actual usage conditions was developed. The compression levels in the life test were determined by measuring the crushing force acting on test products and Furthermore the test specimens which have equivalent shape and material properties with those of cans and PET bottles were proposed by simulating the deformation characteristics so that the actual compression conditions were set up in the test.

Presented are the results of recent tests on diagonal shear failure of reinforced concrete beams which are externally reinforced in the transverse direction by a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer, instead of the traditional steel stirrups. Three different series of the beams with different shear reinforcements, i.e. U-wrapping with carbon sheet, U-wrapping with carbon strips and full wrapping with carbon strips were tested. Those beams were geometrically similar, and the size range is 1:1.9:4. The failure of the beams are characterized by delamination, crushing of concrete and distributed shear cracks. It is found that the size effect is much weaker than that of the reference beams without CFRP. Therefore CFRP sheet may be used as the transverse reinforcement with a minor size effect. However, it is not clear that the same conclusion can be drawn in other sizes. Further researches are recommended.
