STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Currently, many implant systems are developed and divided into two types according to their joint connection: external or internal connection. Regardless of the connection type, screw loosening is the biggest problem in implant-supported restoration. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to assess the difference in stability of abutment screws between the external and internal hexagonal connection types under cyclic loading. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Each of the 15 samples of external implants and internal abutments were tightened to 30 N/cm with a digital torque gauge, and cemented with a hemispherical metal cap. Each unit was then mounted in a $30^{\circ}$ inclined jig. Then each group was divided into 2 sub-groups based on different periods of cyclic loading with the loading machine (30 N/ cm - 300 N/cm,14 Hz: first group $1{\times}10^6$, $5{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading; second group $3{\times}10^6$, $3{\times}10^6$ for a total cyclic loading of $6{\times}10^6$) The removal torque value of the screw before and after cyclic loading was checked. SPSS statistical software for Windows was used for statistical analysis. Group means were calculated and compared by ANOVA, independent t-test, and paired t-test with ${\alpha}$=0.05. RESULTS: In the external hexagonal connection, the difference between the removal torque value of the abutment screw before loading, the value after $1{\tims}10^6$ cyclic loading, and the value after $1{\times}10^6$, and additional $5{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was not significant. The difference between the removal torque value after $3{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading and after $3{\times}10^6$, and additional $3{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was not significant. In the internal hexagonal connection, the difference between the removal torque value before loading and the value after $1{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was not significant, but the value after $1{\times}10^6$, and additional $5{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was reduced and the difference was significant (P < .05). In addition, in the internal hexagonal connection, the difference between the removal torque value after $3{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading and the value after $3{\times}10^6$, and additional $3{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading was not significant. CONCLUSION: The external hexagonal connection was more stable than the internal hexagonal connection after $1{\times}10^6$, and additional $5{\times}10^6$ cyclic loading (t = 10.834, P < .001). There was no significant difference between the two systems after $3{\times}10^6$, and additional $3{\times}10^6$ cycles.

해상풍력 구조물을 지지하는 말뚝기초는 바람, 파랑, 조류 등에 의한 횡방향 반복하중을 지배적으로 받는다. 해상풍력 구조물의 안정적인 성능확보를 위해서 횡방향 반복하중을 받는 말뚝기초의 지지거동을 적절히 평가해 설계에 적용할 필요가 있으며, 말뚝 및 지반을 각각 탄성빔과 비선형 스프링으로 가정하는 p-y 곡선방법이 가장 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 조밀한 포화 실트질 모래지반에 설치되어 횡방향 반복하중을 받는 말뚝기초의 p-y 거동을 평가하기 위해서, 1g 모형말뚝시험을 수행했다. 모형시험 결과, 말뚝에 횡방향 반복하중 재하 시 p-y 곡선의 강성(초기기울기 및 최대지반반력)이 점차 감소했다. p-y 곡선의 강성감소는 반복하중의 크기가 크고 지표면에 가까운 위치에서 더 명확하게 나타났는데, 상기조건에서 말뚝 주변지반의 교란효과가 크게 발생해 지반의 지지능력이 더욱 크게 감소했기 때문이다. 모형시험 결과를 활용해 조밀한 포화 실트질 모래지반에 설치되어 횡방향 반복하중을 받는 말뚝기초의 p-y 곡선을 제안했다. 등가정적해석을 통해 예측된 말뚝거동을 모형시험결과와 비교한 결과, 제안된 식을 통해 비교적 조밀하고 포화된 실트질 모래지반에서 반복하중을 받는 말뚝의 횡방향 지지거동을 적절히 평가할 수 있음을 확인했다.

반복삼축시험에 의한 반복하중 후 강도 및 강성의 예측법을 이용하여, 세립토에 대해서 직접단순 전단시험에서도 그 방법의 사용 가능성을 확인하여 보았다. 사용한 흙은 실트질 점토, 소성 실트와 비소성 실트이다. 반복삼축시험을 통해서 얻은 강도 및 강성 예측법을 직접단순 전단시험에 맞게 수정하여 시험 결과와 비교하였다. 특히, 세립토의 소성지수와 초기전단응력(ISSS)의 영향이 강조되었다. 연구결과는 (i) 세립토의 액상화강도비는 소성지수의 감소와 초기전단응력의 증가에 따라 감소한다. (ii)등가강성과 전단변형률의 관계에 미치는 소성지수와 초기전단응력의 영향은 그리 크지 않다. (iii) 정규화한 과잉간극수압의 증가에 따른 강도비의 저하는 세립토의 소성지수가 증가할수록 느리다. (iv) 활성도가 큰 소성실트의 강성은 과잉간극 수압의 증가에 따라 급속히 감소한다. (v) 반복삼축시험 결과를 이용한 반복하중후 강도 및 강성의 예측법을 이용하여 직접단순 전단시험 결과에 수정한 방법은 시험결과와 잘 어울리는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, the behavior of interior steel fiber reinforced concrete beam - column joints (BCJs) under cyclic loading is investigated. An experimental program including tests on twelve reinforced concrete (BCJs) specimens under cyclic loading was carried out. The test specimens are divided into two groups having different geometry: group (G1) (symmetrical BCJs specimens) and group (G2) (nonsymmetrical BCJs specimens). The parameters considered in this study are the steel fibers (SFs) content by volume of concrete (V_f), the spacing of shear reinforcement at the joint region, and the area of longitudinal flexural reinforcement. Test results show that the addition of 0.5% SFs with stirrups spacing S=S_max has effectively enhanced the overall performance of BCJs with respect to energy dissipation, ductility ratio, spreading and width of cracks. The failure of specimens is governed mainly by the formation of a plastic hinge at the face column and outside the beam-column junction. Secondary shear cracks were also observed in the beam-column junctions.

The behavior of bridge column under multi-directional loading as well as uni-directional loading need to be studied because bridge columns will be subjected to the multi-directional cyclic loading during a strong earthquake. To evaluate the capacity of columns, uni-axial cyclic loading tests and bi-axial alternate cyclic loading tests were carried out. The number of cycles of alternate bi-axial loading were determined considering the ratio of natural frequencies in two orthogonal directions. From the test results, strength degradation and ductility reduction were observed in biaxial loading conditions. Their rates were found to be more rapid in the loading pattern that was determined considering the different natural frequencies.

Ten beams bonded with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates were tested under cyclic loading with the load range and the FRP reinforcement ratio as test parameters. The maximum load level during cyclic loading was 55%, 65% and 75% of the static flexural strength while the minimum load level was kept constant at 35%. Deflections of the beams at the end of 525000 cycles were found to increase by 16% and 44% when the maximum load level was increased from 55% to 65% and 75% of the static flexural strength, respectively. Beams with FRP reinforcement ratios of 0.64% and 1.28% were found to exhibit lesser deflections of about 15% and 20%, respectively, compared to a similar beam without FRP reinforcement. An analytical approach based on cycle-dependent effective moduli of elasticity of concrete and FRP reinforcement is presented and found to predict the deflections of the test beams well.

Analysis of settlement of foundation under the cyclic loading is very important element in the field construction. The fatigue of construct is inflicted by wheel load of mobile unit with railroad and superhighway. The settlement behavior under the cyclic loading is investigated through Power Model by Li and Selig. However, the settlement tendency of foundation appears to be the settlement of general Europe cohesive soil. In this study, the Power Model was used to determine the plastic deformation for sandy soil. Based on the laboratory cyclic loading test a, m, b parameters, for using in the Power Model were presented.

Modular structures consist of standardized modules and their connections. A modular bridge pier is proposed to accelerate bridge construction. Multiple concrete-filled steel tubes (CFTs) using commercial steel tubes were chosen as the main members. Buckling restrained bracings and enhanced connection details were designed to prevent premature low-cycle fatigue failure upon cyclic loading. The pier had a height of 7.95 m, widths of 2.5 m and 2.0 m along the strong and weak axis, respectively. Cyclic tests were performed on the modular pier to investigate structural performance. Test results showed that four CFT columns reached yielding without a premature failure of the bracing connections. The ultimate capacity of the modular pier was reasonably estimated based on the plastic-hinge-analysis concept. The modular CFT pier with enhanced bracing showed improved displacement ductility without premature failure at the welding joints.

This work focused on aluminum foam sandwich (AFS) with different foam core densities and different face-sheet thicknesses subjected to constant amplitude three-point bending cyclic loading to study its fatigue performance. The experiments were conducted out by a high frequency fatigue test machine named GPS-100. The experimental results showed that the fatigue life of AFS decreased with the increasing loading level and the structure was sensitive to cyclic loading, especially when the loading level was under 20%. S-N curves of nine groups of AFS specimens were obtained and the fatigue life of AFS followed three-parameter lognormal distribution well. AFS under low cyclic loading showed pronounced cyclic hardening and the static strength after fatigue test increased. For the same loading level, effects of foam core density and face-sheet thickness on the fatigue life of AFS structure were trade-off and for the same loading value, the fatigue life of AFS increased with aluminum foam core density or face-sheet thickness monotonously. Core shear was the main failure mode in the present study.

A fatigue capsule is one of the special capsules to investigate the fatigue characteristics of the nuclear materials during an irradiation test in a research reactor, HANARO. In this study, the performance test and the preliminary fatigue test results by using a cyclic load device newly developed for a fatigue capsule are described. In order to obtain the characteristics such as a realization and a controllability of the periodic wave shape and the relationship between the pressure and the load, a spring and rigid bar specimens are used. The fatigue test for the 316L stainless steel specimen with 1.8mm in diameter and 12.5mm in gage length is also performed under the same conditions as the temperature($550^{\circ}C$) of the specimen during irradiation tests. As a result of the test, the fracture of the specimen occurs at a total of 70,120 cycles(about 12 days), and the displacement in this case is 2.02 mm. It is expected that these results will be used for determining test conditions and a comparison of the in-pile fatigue test results.
