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.

To construct pile-supported wharf structures that must support heavy horizontal loads, both vertical piles and batter piles are used. Batter piles are used to secure the bearing capacity against the horizontal loads. However, past case histories have shown that the heads of batter piles are vulnerable because these heads are subjected to excessive axial loads during earthquakes. Therefore, the aseismatic reinforcement method must be developed to prevent batter pile heads from breaking due to excessive seismic loads. Two different connecting methods of either inserting rubber or ball-bearing between batter pile head and upper plate were proposed to improve the aseismatic efficiency. Three large-scale pile head models(rubber type model, ball-bearing type model, and fixed type model) were manufactured and horizontal loading tests were peformed for these models. The results showed that the force-displacement relationship of the fixed type model was linear, but that of the rubber type model and the ball-bearing type model was bilinear. The increase in the horizontal displacement led to the increase in the horizontal stiffness of the rubber type models and the decrease in that of the ball-bearing type model. Compared with the values for fixed type model, the damping ratios of the rubber type model and the ball-bearing type model increased about 33~185％ and 263~269％, respectively.

Cold formed steel shear panel is one of the main components to bearing lateral load in low and mid-rise cold formed steel structures. This paper uses finite element analysis to evaluate the stiffness, strength and failure mode at cold formed steel shear panels whit steel sheathing and nonlinear connections that are under monotonic loading. Two finite element models based on two experimental model whit different failure modes is constructed and verified. It includes analytical studies that investigate the effects of studs and steel sheathing thickness changes, fasteners spacing at panel edges, one or two sides steel sheathing and height-width ratio of wall on the lateral load capacity. Dominant failure modes include buckling of steel sheet, local buckling in boundary studs and sheet unzipping in the bottom half of the wall.

12 typical laminated composite reinforced concrete (RC) walls with different concrete ages and 3 cast-in-place RC walls subjected to low frequency cyclic load were carried out in this study. The failure mode, force-deformation response and energy dissipation capacity of these specimens were investigated. Differences of structural behaviours between composite RC walls and common cast-in-place RC walls were emphasized in the analysis. The compatibility of the composite specimens with different concrete ages was discussed based on the experiment. Test results indicated that the differences between the lateral bearing capacity and the displacement ductility of the composite walls and the common walls were not so obvious. Some of the composite specimen even has higher bearing capacity under the experiment loading situation. Besides, the two parts of the laminated composite specimens demonstrates incompatibility at the later loading sequence on failure mode and strain response when it is in tension. Finally, this laminated composite shear walls are suggested to be applied in rapid reconstruction structures which is not very high.

To evaluate the performance of concrete load bearing walls in a structure under horizontal loads after being exposed to real fire, two steps were followed. In the first step, an experimental study was performed on the thermo-mechanical properties of concrete after heating to temperatures of 200-1000℃ with the purpose of determining the residual mechanical properties after cooling. The temperature was increased in line with natural fire curve in an electric furnace. The peak temperature was maintained for a period of 1.5 hour and then allowed to cool gradually in air at room temperature. All specimens were made from calcareous aggregate to be used for determining the residual properties: compressive strength, static and dynamic elasticity modulus by means of UPV test, including the mass loss. The concrete residual compressive strength and elastic modulus values were compared with those calculated from Eurocode and other analytical models from other studies, and were found to be satisfactory. In the second step, experimental analysis results were then implemented into structural numerical analysis to predict the post-fire load-bearing capacity response of the walls under vertical and horizontal loads. The parameters considered in this analysis were the effective height, the thickness of the wall, various support conditions and the residual strength of concrete. The results indicate that fire damage does not significantly affect the lateral capacity and stiffness of reinforced walls for temperature fires up to 400℃.

오염된 연약지반에 편재하중이 작용하는 경우에 있어서 지반의 소성화에 따른 측방유동에 대한 거동을 규명하기 위하여 기존의 이론적인 배경을 고찰하고, 모형실험을 통하여 실측한 결과를 상호 비교.분석하였다. 모형실험은 모형재하장치인 토조와 재하틀 및 재하판을 제작하여 토조 안에 함수비를 일정하게 유지한 상태에서 자연지반의 시료와 오염물질을 점진적으로 증가시킨 지반시료에 대하여 일정한 시간 간격으로 편재하중을 증가시키면서 침하량과 측방변위량 및 융기량 등을 관측하였다. 그 결과 한계하중은 실험값이 Tschebotarioff(q$_{cr}$=3.0$_{cu}$)의 제안값과 Meyerhof(q$_{cr}$=(B/2H+$\pi$/2)$_{cu}$)의 제안값에 근접하여 q$_{cr}$=2.78$_{cu}$값을 나타냈고, 극한하중은 Prandtl의 제안값에 근접하여 q$_{ult}$=4.84$_{cu}$값을 나타냈다. 측방유동압은 Matsui.Hong의 이론식에 의해서 산정함이 비교적 적절하며, 측방유동압의 최대값은 토층두께(H)의 0.3H 부근에서 발생하였으며, 복합형과 Poulos의 분포형태 및 오염되지 않는 연약점토(CL, CH)지반 보다 지표면측으로 상승하여 발생하였다. 안정관리방법은 지반의 측방유동에 의한 소성변위량을 많이 이용하고 있는 부영.교본, 자전.관구, 송미.천촌 등의 안정관리도에 적용한 결과 송미.천촌의{S$_{v}$-(Y$_{m}$/S$_{v}$)}관리도와 자전.관구의 {(q/Y$_{m}$)-q}관리도에서 얻어진 극한하중은 하중-침하량곡선 (q-S$_{v}$)에서 얻어진 극한하중 보다 적은 경향을 나타냈다.

본 연구는 원심모형실험을 이용해 건조 사질토 지반에 근입된 모노파일의 수평 반복하중에 대한 거동을 연구하였다. 실험에 사용된 지반 시료는 상대밀도 80%에서 마찰각이 $38^{\circ}$인 건조 주문진 표준사를 사용했다. 실험 과정은 우선 반복하중의 크기를 결정하기 위해 정적 하중 실험을 수행하여 극한하중을 결정하였다. 이를 통해 도출된 극한 하중 값의 30%, 50%, 80%, 120%을 반복하중의 값으로 결정하였고, 반복횟수는 100회로 수행되었다. 이 결과를 통해 실험 반복하중 p-y 곡선을 산정하였고 도출된 하중 별 최대 지반반력점들을 이용하여 깊이 별 반복하중 p-y 중추곡선을 도출하였다. 이를 기존 p-y 곡선과 비교 결과, 동일 깊이에서 초기기울기가 API(1987) p-y 곡선보다 과소평가 되었으며, 극한지반반력은 과대평가되었다. 또한, 동적 p-y 곡선과 비교하였을 때, 동일 깊이에서의 반복하중 p-y 중추곡선의 초기기울기와 지반반력이 작게 평가되었다. 이는 말뚝이 받는 하중 조건에 따라 p-y 곡선을 다르게 적용해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The additional axial force of CWR(continuous welded rail) is occurred by structure-track interaction, in reverse, fixed supports of structure are applied the large load by that. Ratio of load which transferred on support through the bridge superstructure with one-side REJ by acceleration and braking load are stated in High-Speed Rail Design Criteria(2005). On the other hand the horizontal forces of support delivered to the load due to thermal loads has been no report about the criteria. Therefore, this study was performed the review of the reaction and displacement on support by structure-track interaction in a special bridge(composite brdiges, 45+55+55+45=200m) with REJ acting on the temperature load. As a result, because fixed support of a special bridge or a continuous bridge with REJ under the temperature load which is constant load has been acted the large lateral load by structure-track interaction, when determining the fixed bearing capacity of structure should be reflected in the results to secure the safety of structures was confirmed.

Due to the unique construction method of modular steel buildings (MSBs) with units prefabricated fully off the site and assembled quickly on the site, the inter-module connection for easy operation and overall performance of the system were key issues. However, it was a lack of relevant research on the system-level performance of MSBs. This study investigated the seismic performance of two-storey modular steel structure with a proposed vertical rotary inter-module connection. Three full-scale quasi-static tests, with and without corrugated steel plate and its combination, were carried out to evaluate and compare their seismic behaviour. The hysteretic performance, skeleton curves, ductile performance, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation capacity, and deformation pattern were clarified. The results showed that good ductility and plastic deformation ability of such modular steel structures. Two lateral-force resistance mechanisms with different layout combinations were also discussed in detail. The corrugated steel plate could significantly improve the lateral stiffness and bearing capacity of the modular steel structure. The cooperative working mechanism of modules and inter-module connections was further analyzed. When the lateral stiffness of upper and lower modular structures was close, limited bending moment transfer may be considered for the inter-module connection. While a large lateral stiffness difference existed initially between the upper and lower structures, an obvious gap occurred at the inter-module connection, and this gap may significantly influence the bending moments transferred by the inter-module connections. Meanwhile, several design recommendations of inter-module connections were also given for the application of MSBs.

To study the effect of the macroscopic TVLEM(Three Vertical Line Element Model) which is developed in 2D, a bearing wall system is selected and 2D and 3D pushover analyses are carried out. In 2D model, the participating width of a flage wall to lateral resistance is modelled based on Paulay's effective width. From the comparisons of roof displacements, 2D model which uses the effective width of flange wall has better prediction and less analysis time than 3D model which has intrinsically the full width of the flange that causes higher stiffness and strength and shorter deformation capacity than 2D model.
