Several types of steel structures which are employed in offshore petroleum activities are constructed with tubular members. These structures are usually subjected to various types of loads such as normal functional loads and environmental loads. Furthermore, accidental loads may also act on the leg or bracing members due to supply boat collisions and objects droppings from platform decks. The extent of damage caused by these loads ranges from total collapse of the structure to small damage which may not have serious consequence at the time of accident. To make optimal design decisions regarding structural safety and economical efficiency, it is very important to be able to assess the influence of damages on the performance of damaged structural members. In the End report, a series of calculations is performed to study the effects of different parameters on the load carrying capacity of such damaged members under pure bending. And the results of analysis are compared with experiment results.

판의 탄성좌굴에 관해서는 이미 많은 이론적 실험적 연구가 이루어져 여러 가지 경계조건 및 하중에 대해서 좌굴응력을 결정하는데 큰 어려움이 없다. 현재 플랜지 및 웨브판에 대한 설계기준도 휨에 대한 좌굴응력을 기준으로 하고 있으며, 후좌굴강도에 안전율을 적용하여 고려하도록 하고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구는 이상적인 조건하에서 전개되는 선형좌굴이론에서 뿐만이아니라, 유한처짐을 허용하는 극한강도 설계개념에 까지 확장되어진다. 또한, 이 개념에 근거한 실험적 연구가 이루어져 단순지지 조건을 만족시킬 수 있는 보강재에 대한 현 시방규정의 적정성을 분석 검토하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 세장비의 변화에 따른 강상자형의 극한강도를 결정하는 식을 제시하고자 한다.

To assure the structural integrity for the hub and low speed shaft (LSS) of the drive train, it is necessary to obtain the ultimate aerodynamic loads acting on the wind turbine blade. The aim of this study is to predict the time histories of 3 forces and 3 moments at the hub and the LSS based on the design load case of the IEC 61400-1. From the calculated results most of the load components have rotor revolution frequency whereas thrust and torque of the LSS show blade passage frequency. It turns out that the EWM wind condition involves the maximum ultimate loads at both hub and LSS of the horizontal axis wind turbine.

The analysis of prismatic members made of reinforced concrete under inclined bending, especially the computation of ultimate loads, is a pronounced non-linear problem which is frequently solved by discretizing the stress distribution in the cross-section using interpolation functions. In the approach described in the present contribution the exact analytical stress distribution is used instead. The obtained expressions are integrated by means of a symbolic manipulation package and automatically converted to optimized Fortran code. The direct problem-computation of ultimate internal forces given the position of the neutral axis-is first described. Subsequently, two kinds of inverse problem are treated: the computation of rupture envelops and the dimensioning of reinforcement, given design internal forces. An iterative Newton-Raphson procedure is used. Examples are presented.

본 연구에서는 실험 모형을 이용한 탄소성 대변형 시리즈 해석을 수행하여 플레이트 거더의 파손모드와 최종하중을 예측하였다. 수치해석 모형의 붕괴모드는 재하 시 플랜지에서 소성 힌지가 형성되었으며 실험모형의 붕괴모드와 일치하였다. 또한, 웹에서 항복선이 형성되어 크리플링 붕괴모드가 발생하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며 각각의 실험모형과 수치모형 최종하중의 평균값 1.07, 표준편차 0.04, 변동계수 0.04로 선형성을 유지하였으며 전체 최종하중 결과도 대략 8 % 오차를 나타내었다. 이는 수치모형 결과가 실험 및 적용 기준에 매우 만족하고 양호한 결과를 도출하였다고 생각한다. 따라서 알루미늄합금 플레이트 거더의 최종하중 예측 시 실험 및 적용 기준과 함께 병행하여 적용을 한다면 이에 대한 합리적 안전수준을 유지한다면 더 효율적이고 경제적 알루미늄 합금 플레이트 거더의 파손모드 및 최종하중에 대해 예측할 수 있을 거라고 생각한다.

This study examined the structural behaviors and ultimate loads of assembled system scaffolds by load tests. Considering the number of bay and bracing installation, four specimens were tested. The bays were divided into 1 bay and 2 bays, with and without the bracing member installed. Failure modes and horizontal displacements show that the whole column buckled without showing no point of inflection in the column, regardless of whether or not braces were installed. Thus, the current design method of selecting the vertical spacing between the horizontal members of the system scaffold as the effective buckling length underestimates the effective buckling length. In case of 1 bay specimens, the ultimate loads between specimens with and with bracing members are similar. However, in case of 2 bay specimens, the specimen with bracing members shows the increased ultimate load of 36% compared with that without bracing members. In addition, as the number of bays in the system scaffold increases, the ultimate load of the unit vertical column increases in case of the specimen with bracing installation. However, in the specimen without bracing members, the ultimate load of the unit column reduces with the increment of the number of bays due to the torsional buckling. Therefore, it is essential to install bracing members to increase the whole strength of system scaffolds and the ultimate load of the unit column.

This paper describes a formulation to predict optimum post-tensioning forces and cable dimensioning for self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridges. The analysis is developed with respect to both dead and live load configurations, taking into account design constrains concerning serviceability and ultimate limit states. In particular, under dead loads, the analysis is developed with the purpose to calculate the post-tensioning cable forces to achieve minimum deflections for both girder and pylons. Moreover, under live loads, for each cable elements, the lowest required cross-section area is determined, which verifies prescriptions, under ultimate or serviceability limit states, on maximum allowable stresses and bridge deflections. The final configuration is obtained by means of an iterative procedure, which leads to a progressive definition of the stay, hanger and main cable characteristics, concerning both post-tensioning cable stresses and cross-sections. The design procedure is developed in the framework of a FE modeling, by using a refined formulation of the bridge components, taking into account of geometric nonlinearities involved in the bridge components. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can be easily utilized to predict the cable dimensioning also in the framework of long span bridge structures, in which typically more complexities are expected in view of the large number of variables involved in the design analysis.

To achieve a rational detail of the girder-abutment joints in composite integral bridges, and validate the performance of the joints with perfobond connectors, this paper proposes two innovative types of I-shaped steel girder-concrete abutment joints with perfobond connectors intended for the most of bearing capacity and the convenience of concrete pouring. The major difference between the two joints is the presence of the top flange inside the abutments. Two scaled models were investigated with tests and finite element method, and the damage mechanism was revealed. Results show that the joints meet design requirements no matter the top flange exists or not. Compared to the joint without top flange, the initial stiffness of the one with top flange is higher by 7%, and the strength is higher by 50%. The moment decreases linearly in both types of the joints. At design loads, perfobond connectors take about 70% and 50% of the external moment with and without top flange respectively, while at ultimate loads, perfobond connectors take 53% and 26% of the external moment respectively. The ultimate strengths of the reduced sections are suggested to be taken as the bending strengths of the joints.

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318-11 permits the use of the moment magnifier method for computing the design ultimate strength of slender reinforced concrete columns that are part of braced frames. This computed strength is influenced by the column effective length factor K, the equivalent uniform bending moment diagram factor $C_m$ and the effective flexural stiffness EI among other factors. For this study, 2,960 simple braced frames subjected to short-term loads were simulated to investigate the effect of using different methods of calculating the effective length factor K when computing the strength of columns in these frames. The theoretically computed column ultimate strengths were compared to the ultimate strengths of the same columns computed from the ACI moment magnifier method using different combinations of equations for K and EI. This study shows that for computing the column ultimate strength, the current practice of using the Jackson-Moreland Alignment Chart is the most accurate method for determining the effective length factor. The study also shows that for computing the column ultimate strength, the accuracy of the moment magnifier method can be further improved by replacing the current ACI equation for EI with a nonlinear equation for EI that includes variables affecting the column stiffness and proposed in an earlier investigation.
