The main objective of this experimental research was to investigate the Seismic performance of reinforced concrete frames infilled with perforated clay brick masonry wall of a type commonly used in Algeria. Four one story-one bay reinforced concrete infilled frames of half scale of an existing building were tested at the National Earthquake Engineering Research Center Laboratory, CGS, Algeria. The experiments were carried out under a combined constant vertical and reversed cyclic lateral loading simulating seismic action. This experimental program was performed in order to evaluate the effect and the contribution of the infill masonry wall on the lateral stiffness, strength, ductility and failure mode of the reinforced concrete frames. Numerical models were developed and calibrated using the experimental results to match the load-drift envelope curve of the considered specimens. These models were used as a bench mark to assess the effect of normalized axial load on the seismic performance of the RC frames with and without masonry panels. The main experimental and analytical results are presented in this paper.

Steel brace strengthening is the most popular seismic rehabilitation method for school buildings. This is because the design can be conducted by using relatively easy nonlinear pushover analysis and standard modeling in codes. An issue with steel brace strengthening is that the reinforced building should behave elastically to satisfy performance objectives. For this, the size of steel braces should be highly increased, which results in excessive strengthening cost by force concentration on existing members and foundations due to the considerable stiffness and strength of the steel braces. The main reason may be the brittle failure mode of columns, so this study investigated the relationship between the efficiency of steel brace strengthening and column failure modes. The result showed that the efficiency is highly dependent on the shear capacity ratio of columns and structural analysis methods. School buildings reinforced by steel braces do not need to behave elastically when the shear capacity ratio is low, and pushover analysis is used, which means reducing steel material is possible.

본 논문에서 제시한 복합재 날개 구조물의 최적설계 기법은 파손모드를 통합한 최적화 프레임 웍을 사용하여 복합재 날개 구조물의 안전율을 자동으로 계산한다. 개발된 최적화 프레임 웍은 복합재 구조물의 설계요소에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 파손모드 즉, 최초 파손모드, 좌굴 파손 모드 및 베어링-바이패스 파손을 확인하여 구축된 적층 데이터베이스 안에서 적층수를 찾아낸다. 이는 개발과정에서 수정 및 반복되는 설계 및 해석 시간을 단축시킬 수 있는 효과가 있다. 설계변수는 계단형태로 이루어진 적층 데이터베이스이며 응답은 변형률, 좌굴, 볼트 주변부의 응력장이며 목적함수는 날개구조의 질량이다. 그리고 최적화 프레임 윅을 구동하는 Composite Optimizer의 해석결과를 검증하기 위하여 유한요소모델의 좌굴해석 결과와 비교하여 유효성을 검증하였다.

For the past years, higher power rating 2 stroke super long stroke diesel engines having more than 8 cylinders and larger cylinder bore are installed mainly on very large containerships to save on fuel consumption. However, these engines are prone to X-mode vibration due to 2nd node torsional vibration or the X-type moment, particularly because of the increase in total length and height. Recently, cases of excessive X-mode vibration often occurred on engine's major components. This vibration is manifested also as secondary vibration causing failure in engine-mount large structures. This study investigated the excitations caused by the 2nd node propulsion shafting torsional vibration that influence X-mode vibration of the main engine and practical countermeasures are proposed. An 8RT-flex82T 8 cylinder engine and 11S90ME-C 11 cylinder engine for a container ship was used as research model.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural performance of reinforcement corrosion reinforced concrete beams strengthened with epoxy mortar system. Main test parameters are existence and the magnitude of the reinforcement corrosion and the reinforcing bar and the tensile reinforcement ratio of the specimens. eight beam specimens were tested to investigate the effectiveness of each test variables on maximum load capacity and failure mode. Test results showed that the ultimate moment of th specimens were higher tan the nominal moment and the flexural stiffness was increased about 2.5 times and the cracking moments occurred over 60% of the failure moment in comparison with same sized control beam. However, note that epoxy mortar may conduct member into brittle failure mode.

Pneumatic cylinders that are usually applied in the factory automation line have complicated failure cause because they are composed of various elements. In this study, we performed life test and performance test of double acting pneumatic cylinders according to the international standards and then analyzed the life and the main failure mode of the cylinders in the same load condition. On the basis of these processes, we can estimate shape parameter for the reliability estimation of pneumatic cylinders and their data analysis of life distribution.

Traditionally unidirectional laminated composite which are characterized by high specific stiffness and strength were used for structural application. But theses composites are highly susceptible to impact damage because of lower transverse tensile strength. The main failure modes of laminated composite are fiber breakage, matrix cracking and delamination for low velocity impact. The modified failure criterions are implemented to predict these failure modes with finite element analysis. Failure behavior of the woven fabric laminated composite which is used in forehead part of subway to lighten weigh has been studied. The new failure criterions are in good agreement with experimental results and can predict the failure behavior of the woven fabric composite plate subjected to low velocity impact more accurately.

This paper aims at investigating the damage process of steel members leading to the failure under strong repeated loading, proposing the damage index using various factors related to the damage, and developing the analysis method for evaluating the damage state. Cantilever-type steel members were analyzed under uniaxial load and combined with a constant axial load, considering a horizontal displacement history. In analyzing the models, loading patterns and steel types (SS400, SM570, Posten80) were considered as main parameters. From the analysis results, the effects of parameter on the failures mode, the deformation capacity, the damage process are also discussed. Each failure process was compared as steel types. Consequently, the failure of steel members under strong repeated loading was determined by loading. Especially it was seen that the state of the failure is closely related to the local strain.

This study presents an experimental investigation on six beam-column joint specimens under the lateral cyclic loading. The aim was to explore the effectiveness of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) in reducing the transverse shear stirrups in beam-column joints of the reinforced concrete (RC) frames with strong-columns and weak-beams. Two RC and four SFRC specimens with different types of reinforcement detailing and steel fibers of volume fraction in the range of 0.75-1.5% were tested under gradually increasing cyclic displacements. The main parameters investigated were lateral load-resisting capacity, hysteresis response, energy dissipation capacity, stiffness degradation, viscous damping variation, and mode of failure. Test results showed that the diagonally bent configuration of beam longitudinal bars in the beam-column joints resulted in the shear failure at the joint region against the flexural failure of beams having straight bar configurations. However, all SFRC specimens exhibited similar lateral strength, energy dissipation potential and mode of failure even in the absence of transverse steel in the beam-column joints. Finally, a methodology has been proposed to compute the shear strength of SFRC beam-column joints under the lateral loading condition.
