In this work the implementation of a production-level port of the Microplane constitutive model for concrete into the EPIC code is described. The port follows guidelines outlined in the Material Model Module (MMM) standard used in EPIC to insure a seamless interface with the existing code. Certain features of the model were not implemented using the MMM interface due to compatibility reasons; for example, a separate module was developed to initialize, store and update internal state variables. Objective strain and deformation measures for use in the material model were also implemented into the code. Example calculations were performed and illustrate the veracity of this new implementation.

A thermal-hydraulic code, named CUPID, has been being developed for the realistic analysis of transient two-phase flows in nuclear reactor components. The CUPID code development was motivated from very practical needs, including the analyses of a downcomer boiling, a two-phase flow mixing in a pool, and a two-phase flow in a direct vessel injection system. The CUPID code adopts a two-fluid, three-field model for two-phase flows, and the governing equations are solved over unstructured grids with a semi-implicit two-step method. This paper presents an overview of the CUPID code development and assessment strategy. It also presents the code couplings with a system code, MARS, and, a three-dimensional reactor kinetics code, MASTER.

For the analysis of transient two-phase flows in nuclear reactor components, a three-dimensional thermal hydraulics code, named CUPID, has been developed. The CUPID code adopts a two-fluid, three-field model for two-phase flows, and the governing equations were solved over unstructured grids, which are very useful for the analysis of flows in complicated geometries. To obtain numerical solutions, the semi-implicit numerical method for the REALP5 code was modified for an application to unstructured grids, and it has been further improved for enhanced accuracy and fast running. For the verification of the CUPID code, a set of conceptual problems and experiments were simulated. This paper presents the flow model, the numerical solution method, and the results of the preliminary assessment.

본 연구에서는 Simulink Model(이하 Model)을 C Code 로 변환시켜주는 자동 코드 생성기, SimAutoCodeGenerator 를 제안하였다. Model 의 테스트케이스를 생성하기 위한 작업에서 반복적인 프로그램의 실행을 통한 테스터와의 다양한 피드백이 필요하다. 이때, Simulink는 이런 작업을 하는 데 있어서 적절한 정보를 제공하기 어려울 뿐만 아니라 테스트 케이스를 생성하는데 필요한, 실행 시 특정 시점으로 돌아가는 기능을 수행하기 위해서는 프로그램을 정지한 후 다시 실행해야하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와같은 단점을 보완하기 위하여 Model 을 C 코드로 변환하였다. 생성된 C 코드는 Model 과의 일치성을 증명한 후 자동 테스트케이스 생성을 위한 프로그램에 쓰이게 될 것이다. 먼저 C 코드의 생성 메커니즘을 알아보고 생성된 C 코드와 Model 의 일치성을 증명하였다.

본 연구에서는 Model Code 2010에 제시된 실험방법에 근거하여 설계강도 60MPa의 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 휨강도와 잔존강도, 휨인성을 평가하였다. 비교를 위하여 설계강도 40MP의 강섬유보강 콘크리트도 실험하였다. 또한, 배합의 평가를 위하여 파괴된 시험체의 파괴면을 육안으로 관찰하여 강섬유의 분산도를 평가하였다. 본 실험에서 사용된 강섬유는 형상비 64, 67 및 80의 국내산 후크 강섬유이다. 강섬유 혼입률은 체적에 대하여 0.5%로 동일하다. 실험결과, 설계강도 60MPa에서는 형상비가 큰 강섬유가 혼입된 강섬유보강 콘크리트만이 Model Code 2010에서 제시된 요구성능을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 고강도 콘크리트에서는 큰 형상비의 강섬유가 심대한 균열에서 충분한 인성을 확보하는데 기여할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 섬유의 고른 분산도 확보를 위해서는 낮은 슬럼프가 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 Model Code 2010에 제시된 강섬유 보강 콘크리트(SFRC)의 인장구성모델에 대하여 고찰하였다. SFRC의 인장 거동을 모델링하기 위하여 BS-EN-14651에 따라 노치를 갖는 작은 보의 3점재하 휨실험을 수행하였다. 이 실험결과를 토대로 인장구성모델의 다양한 설계인자를 결정하였다. 이형철근이 보강되지 않은 길이 3 m의 보의 휨파괴 실험과 유한요소해석을 수행하고 상호 비교하였다. 추가적으로 인장구성모델의 주요변수인 압축 및 인장모델과 특성길이가 보의 거동에 미치는 영향에 대한 변수해석을 수행하였다. 결과에서, 최대치 이전의 거동에서는 해석과 실험결과로부터 얻은 하중-변위곡선이 매우 유사하지만 최대치 이후에서는 중대한 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 MC2010의 인장구성모델이 섬유의 분포와 방향을 적절히 고려하지 못하기 때문이다. 본 연구는 철근이 보강되지 않은 실규모의 SFRC 보의 거동을 적절하게 모사하기 위해서는 MC2010에서 규정하고 있는 섬유방향 계수 K에 대한 수정 또는 상세한 설명이 필요하다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

This paper aimed to study the local bond-slip behavior between ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and a reinforcing bar after exposure to high temperatures. A series of pull-out tests were carried out on cubic specimens of size 150×150×150 mm with deformed steel bar embedded for a fixed length of three times the diameter of the tested deformed bar. The experimental results of the bond stress-slip relationship were compared with the Euro-International Concrete Committee (CEB-Comite Euro-International du Beton)-International Federation for Prestressing (FIP-Federation Internationale de la Precontrainte) Model Code and with prediction models found in the literature. In addition, based on the test results, an empirical model of the bond stress-slip relationship was proposed. The evaluation and comparison results showed that the modified CEB-FIP Model code 2010 proposed by Aslani and Samali for the local bond stress-slip relationship for UHPC after exposure to high temperatures was more conservative. In contrast, for both room temperature and after exposure to high temperatures, the modified CEB-FIP Model Code 2010 local bond stress-slip model for UHPC proposed in this study was able to predict the test results with reasonable accuracy.

In this study the optical properties, such as relative transmittance and reflectance of PDP were analyzed with 3D optical code. Because of the electrode structure, the reference model shows 21.3 % higher transmittance than the test model and the reference model shows 16.6 % higher reflectance than the test model. The calculated reflectance of reference and test models is compared to the measured reflectance and the difference between calculation and measurement is 4.9 %.

This research was prompted by the paucity of specific code provisions regarding the design of short columns for shear. The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether the use of the normal shear design procedure of various codes may or may not be applied to reliably calculate the shear strength of short columns. Provisions of the codes American ACI 318M-08, Canadian CSA A23.3-04, Japanese AIJ Guidelines, New Zealand NZS 3101, European EN 1998 (EC8) parts 1 and 3, combined with EN 1992-1-1 (EC2), and draft fib Model Code 2010, as well as a strut-and-tie model are applied on short columns tested under cyclic loading that failed in shear. Actual shear resistances are compared to predictions, and the resulting shortcomings of the codes are identified. EN1998-3 appears to be the only code among those considered that may be reliably applied to estimate the shear resistance of short columns. Further, the proposed strut-and tie model can be a useful tool for the detailed design and assessment of short columns.

With the growing demand for metallic dampers in engineering practice, it is urgent to establish a reasonable approach to evaluating the mechanical performance of metallic dampers under seismic excitations. This paper introduces an effective method for parameter identification of the modified Bouc-Wen model and its application to evaluating the fatigue performance of metallic dampers (MDs). The modified Bouc-Wen model which eliminates the redundant parameter is used to describe the hysteresis behavior of MDs. Relations between the parameters of the modified Bouc-Wen model and the mechanical performance parameters of MDs are studied first. A modified Genetic Algorithm using real-integer hybrid coding with relative fitness as well as adaptive crossover and mutation rates (called RFAGA) is then proposed to identify the parameters of the modified Bouc-Wen model. A reliable approach to evaluating the fatigue performance of the MDs with respect to the Chinese Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010) is finally proposed based on the research results. Experimental data are employed to demonstrate the process and verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. It is shown that the RFAGA is able to converge quickly in the identification process, and the simulation curves based on the identification results fit well with the experimental hysteresis curves. Furthermore, the proposed approach is shown to be a useful tool for evaluating the fatigue performance of MDs with respect to the Chinese Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010).
