A nonlinear finite element analysis using ANSYS is used to evaluate the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints. The behavior of the finite element models under cyclic loading is compared with the experimental results. Two beam-column joint specimens (SH and SHD) with square hoop confinement in joint and throughout the column with detailing as per IS 13920 are studied. The specimen SHD was provided with additional diagonal bars from column to beam to relocate the plastic hinge formation from beam-column interface. The load-displacement relationship, joint shear stress and strain in beam obtained from numerical study showed good agreement with the experimental results. This investigation proves that seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete beam-column joints under reversed cyclic loading can be evaluated successfully using finite element modeling and analysis.

A lumped parameter model is proposed for the analysis of dynamic behaviour of a Passive Hydraulic Engine Mount (PHEM), incorporating inertia track and throttle, which is characterized by effective and efficient vibration isolation behaviour in the range of both low and high frequencies. Most of the model parameters, including volume compliance of the throttle chamber, effective piston area, fluid inertia and resistance of inertia track and throttle are identified by an experimental approach. Numerical predictions are obtained through a finite element method for responses of dynamic stiffness of the rubber spring. The experiments are made for the purpose of PHEM validation. Comparison of numerical results with experimental observations has shown that the present PHEM achieves good performance for vibration isolation.

Numerical modeling of reinforced concrete structures is a difficult engineering problem, primarily because of the material inhomogeneity. The behaviour of a concrete element with reinforcement can be analyzed using, for example, the Barcelona model, which according to the literature, is one of the most suitable models for this purpose. This article compares the experimental data obtained for an orthotropic concrete slab band system with those predicted numerically using Concrete Damage Plasticity model. Abaqus package was used to perform the calculations.

In urban areas, tunnelling induced ground deformations, particularly ground settlements should be considered in order to minimize the damage of adjacent structures. Therefore, an appropriate monitoring system for the tunnel construction should be setup at the planning or design stage. A number of studies on ground settlements due to tunnelling in soft ground have been carried out so far. However, most studies have focused on clay soil rather than sand soil. In particular, a few studies on behaviour of subsurface deformations in granular material have been reported. In this study, two-dimensional laboratory model test with aluminium rods regarded as continuum granular material and close range photogrammetric technique, and numerical analysis were carried out in order to identify the behaviour of subsurface deformations due to shallow tunnelling. Direction and magnitude of displacement vectors from the model test was identical to the numerical analysis. In particular, the vector direction was appeared to be toward a point below the tunnel invert level. A narrow 'chimney or tulip like' pattern of vertical displacement was confirmed by both the model test and numerical analysis. This is consistent with the field data. In addition to the qualitative comparison, the quantitative comparison of subsurface settlements according to 2D volume loss showed good agreement between the model test and numerical analysis. Therefore, close range photogrammetric technique applied in the model test may be used to validate the result from the continuum numerical analysis.

본 연구는 사질토 지반에서의 얕은 터널굴착으로 인한 지반변형 거동을 규명하기 위해 연속체 사질토 지반을 모사 하는 알루미늄 봉과 근거리 사진계측기법을 이용하여 2차원 실내모형실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과에 근거하는 수치해석으로부터 생성된 변위벡터의 방향과 크기는 모형실험 결과와 거의 일치하였다. 특히, 벡터의 방향은 터널의 인버트 아래 어느 한 점을 향하는 것으로 나타났다. 좁은 "굴뚝 또는 튜울립" 형태의 수직변위는 수치해석 및 모형실험 결과에서 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 양상은 현장에서 측정한 결과와 잘 일치된다. 정성적인 비교와 더불어 지중에서의 2차원 지반손실에 따른 정량적인 침하량 비교 결과, 모형실험에서 측정된 지중침하량이 수치해석 결과 잘 일치됨을 보여주었다. 따라서 본 모형실험에 적용된 근거리 사진계측기법은 수치해석 결과를 검증하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

지오그리드 보강재는 여러 토구조물에 널리 적용되어진다. 일반적으로 보강토 기초의 극한지지력은 강소성이론 이나 한계평형이론에 의하여 설명된다. 강소성이론 이나 한계평형이론에서는 보강재 또는 기초지반에 발생되는 파괴변형이나 변형율에 대하여 정확한 해석을 얻을 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 연약층위의 보강토 기초지반에 대하여 수치해석방법을 이용하여 자세한 파괴변형거동에 대하여 조사하였다. 보강재의 개수, 길이, 깊이 등을 포함하여 연약층위의 보강토 기초에 대하여 일련의 수치해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소프로그램을 사용하여 보강토기초에 대한 파괴거동 및 지지력의 향상효과에 대한 유효성이 조사되었다.

도심지 인구는 빠르게 증가하고 있으며, 지상공간은 점차 부족해지고 있다. 이러한 현상에 대한 대책으로 지하공간 개발이 지속적으로 이루어져왔으며, 지하공간에 대한 연구도 더불어 증가하고 있다. 하지만 터널굴착과 같은 지하공간에 대한 연구는 터널 굴착방법, 터널 및 상부구조물의 형상, 주변지반의 조건에 따라 다양한 결과를 가져오며, 기존 지하공간에 대한 연구는 수치해석으로 터널굴착과 주변 구조물의 상관관계를 예측하거나 실내모형시험을 통해 구조물의 거동 및 지표침하를 관측하는 정도에 초점을 맞춰 연구가 진행된 것이 많은 비중을 차지하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 지반 주변 구조물뿐만 아니라 지반의 거동 및 구조물과의 상호관계를 실내모형시험을 통해 모사하였다. 또한 터널굴착에 따라 변화하는 지반의 거동을 근거리사진계측 및 이미지프로세싱 기법을 통해 관측하고, 유한요소 수치해석을 이용한 역해석을 통해 다양한 지반의 상태를 예측해보았다.

In the current work, a series of three-dimensional finite element analyses have been conducted to investigate the behaviour of pre-existing single piles in response to adjacent tunnelling by considering the tunnel face pressures and the relative locations of the pile tips with respect to the tunnel. Via numerical modelling, the effect of the face pressures on the pile behaviour has been analysed. In addition, the analyses have concentrated on the ground settlements, the pile head settlements and the shear stress transfer mechanism at the pile-soil interface. The settlements of the pile directly above the tunnel crown (with a vertical distance between the pile tip and the tunnel crown of 0.25D, where D is the tunnel diameter) with a face pressure of 50% of the in situ horizontal soil stress at the tunnel springline decreased by approximately 38% compared to the corresponding pile settlements with the minimum face pressure, namely, 25% of the in situ horizontal soil stress at the tunnel springline. Furthermore, the smaller the face pressure is, the larger the tunnelling-induced ground movements, the axial pile forces and the interface shear stresses. The ground settlements and the pile settlements were heavily affected by the face pressures and the positions of the pile tip with respect to the tunnel. When the piles were inside the tunnel influence zone, tensile forces were induced on piles, while compressive pile forces were expected to develop for piles that are outside the influence zone and on the boundary. In addition, the computed results have been compared with relevant previous studies that were reported in the literature. The behaviour of the piles that is triggered by adjacent tunnelling has been extensively examined and analysed by considering the several key features in substantial detail.
