This paper presents the flexural behavior & ultimate strength performance of innovative light weight sandwich panels of size $3{\times}1.2m$ with two different solidity ratios viz. 0.5 and 0.33 under out of plane bending load. From the experimental studies, it is observed that the flexural strength and the stiffness are increased by about 46% and five folds for lesser solidity ratio case. From the measured strains of the shear connectors, full shear transfer between the concrete wythes is observed. The yielding occurred approximately at 4% and 0.55% of the ultimate deformation for 100 mm & 150 mm thick panels, which shows the large ductility characteristics of the panels. From the study, it is inferred that the light weight sandwich panels behave structurally in a very similar manner to reinforced concrete panels. Further from the numerical study, it is observed that the numerical values obtained by FE analysis are in good agreement with the experimental observations.

The study is part of an experimental program on full-scale Un-Reinforced Masonry (URM) wall panels strengthened with Textile reinforced mortars (TRM). Eight brick walls (two with and five without central opening), were tested under the diagonal tension (shear) test method in order to investigate the strengthening system effectiveness on the in-plane behaviour of the walls. All the URM panels consist of the innovative components, named "Orthoblock K300 bricks" with vertical holes and a thin layer mortar. Both of them have great capacity and easy application and can be constructed much more rapidly than the traditional bricks and mortars, increasing productivity, as well as the compressive strength of the masonry walls. Several parameters pertaining to the in-plane shear behaviour of the retrofitted panels were investigated, including shear capacity, failure modes, the number of layers of the external TRM jacket, and the existence of the central opening of the wall. For both the control and retrofitted panels, the experimental shear capacity and failure mode were compared with the predictions of existing prediction models (ACI 2013, TA 2000, Triantafillou 1998, Triantafillou 2016, CNR 2018, CNR 2013, Eurocode 6, Eurocode 8, Thomoglou et al. 2020). The experimental work allowed an evaluation of the shear performance in the case of the bidirectional textile (TRM) system applied on the URM walls. The results have shown that some analytical models present a better accuracy in predicting the shear resistance of all the strengthened masonry walls with TRM systems which can be used in design guidelines for reliable predictions.

이 연구는 파형 GFRP 전단연결재가 보강된 중단열 벽체의 면내전단거동을 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 기존의 중단열 벽체의 단열성능 향상과 내/외측 벽체의 합성거동을 위하여 파형 GFRP 전단연결재를 보강하였다. 실험체는 2개의 단열재로 구분된 3개의 콘크리트 벽체로 구성되어 있으며, 중앙부 벽체에 수직방향의 전단력을 가하였다. 주요변수는 단열재의 종류 (압출법 보온판 및 비드법 보온판) 및 보강된 전단연결재의 너비(300 및 400 mm)과 폭(10 및 15 mm)를 변수로 설정하였으며, 실험체의 파괴양상 및 전단흐름강도-평균상대변위 관계 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 콘크리트와 단열재의 부착응력은 중단열 벽체의 초기거동에 상당한 영향이 있는 것으로 판단되며, 전단연결재가 보강되지 않은 경우 XPSS를 사용한 중단열 벽체의 강성 및 강성이 EPS 단열재의 경우보다 높게 나타났다. 전단연결재의 보강효과는 단열재에 따라 상이하게 나타났으며, 전단연결재의 보강상세에 단열재의 역학적 특성을 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

A number of studies have suggested that the use of high ductile and high shear materials, such as Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) and High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC), significantly enhances the shear capacity of structural elements, even with/without shear reinforcements. The present study emphasizes the development of a nonlinear model of shear behaviour of a HPFRCC panel for application to the seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete buildings. To model the shear behaviour of HPFRCC panels, the original Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT) for conventional reinforced concrete panels has been newly revised for reinforced HPFRCC panels, and is referred to here as the HPFRCC-MCFT model. A series of experiments was conducted to assess the shear behaviour of HPFRCC panels subjected to pure shear, and the proposed shear model has been verified through an experiment involving panel elements under pure shear. The proposed shear model of a HPFRCC panel has been applied to the prediction of seismic retrofitted reinforced concrete buildings with in-filled HPFRCC panels. In retrofitted structures, the in-filled HPFRCC element is regarded as a shear spring element of a low-rise shear wall ignoring the flexural response, and reinforced concrete elements for beam or beam-column member are modelled by a finite plastic hinge zone model. An experimental study of reinforced concrete frames with in-filled HPFRCC panels was also carried out and the analysis model was verified with correlation studies of experimental results.

최근 공기단축, 인건비절감 및 시공성 향상을 위한 간편한 시공법으로 그 구조적 성능이 우수한 SC구조시스템이 제안되었다. 이 연구에서는 SC구조 기술의 전반적인 연구의 일환으로 기본적인 SC구조 면내 전단력에 대한 거동특성을 파악함과 동시에 평판에 순수면내전단력을 가력하는 방법에 대해 타당성 검토를 병행한다. 특히 SC구조의 거동특성 중 순전단응력상태 및 축력과 전단응력이 동시에 작용하는 상황에서 면내전단에 대한 내력과 변형 등 기본적 역학특성 및 구조적 성능을 파악하고 평판 면내전단가력 방법을 제안하는 것이다. SC구조 평판전단내력실험을 통해 강재와 콘크리트의 일체 거동을 통한 평판의 내력 상승 및 축력의 유무에 따른 내력 상승을 확인하였으며, 전단력에 의한 평판의 파괴 양상을 파악하였다. 또한 평판에 순수 전단력만을 가력하기 위한 4힌지 프레임에 의한 평판전단내력 실험방법의 가능성 또한 확인하였다.

국내에서의 지진과 같은 자연재해의 발생횟수가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 재해, 재난 환경에 적합한 임시거주공간 혹은 피난시설의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경량 복합패널을 이용하여 기존 피난시설과는 차별화된 구호주거를 제작하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경량 복합패널에 대한 구조적 성능을 검증하고자 하였으며, 패널에 대한 성능 시험 방법 중 ASTM E72 기준에 따른 면내 전단 강도 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 각 실험체가 면내 하중을 받을 때의 최대하중을 알아내었다. 모든 실험체는 가력 부분의 패널이 찢어지면서 실험이 종료되었다. 실험체의 초기 강성은 계산을 통해 예측한 강성과 일치하였다. 하지만 패널의 특성인 국부적인 찌그러짐과 찢어짐으로 인해 강성저하와 최종파괴가 발생하였다. 개구부가 있는 실험체들은 개구부의 위치와 형태에 따라 기본 실험체와 강성과 강도에서 차이를 보였다. 또한 모든 실험 결과를 종합하여 패널이 받는 최대하중과 힘을 받는 면적이 비례한다는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 실험체들의 극한전단응력을 계산하였으며, 평균 극한전단응력을 산정하였다. 경량 복합패널의 평균 극한전단응력은 $0.047N/mm^2$이며, 이 값을 통해 패널의 면적에 따른 허용하중을 합리적으로 예측할 수 있는 근거를 제시하였다.

In this study, the supersonic panel flutter of doubly curved composite sandwich panels with variable thickness is considered under aerothermoelastic loading. Considering different radii of curvatures of the face sheets in this paper, the thickness of the core is a function of plane coordinates (x,y), which is unique. For the first time in the current model, the continuity conditions of the transverse shear stress, transverse normal stress and transverse normal stress gradient at the layer interfaces, as well as the conditions of zero transverse shear stresses on the upper and lower surfaces of the sandwich panel are satisfied. The formulation is based on an enhanced higher order sandwich panel theory and the vertical displacement component of the face sheets is assumed as a quadratic one, while a cubic pattern is used for the in-plane displacement components of the face sheets and the all displacement components of the core. The formulation is based on the von $K{\acute{a}}rm{\acute{a}}n$ nonlinear approximation, the one-dimensional Fourier equation of the heat conduction along the thickness direction, and the first-order piston theory. The equations of motion and boundary conditions are derived using the Hamilton principle and the results are validated by the latest results published in the literature.

This study aims to develop efficient composite laminates for buckling load enhancement, interlaminar shear stress minimization, and weight reduction. This goal is achieved through cover-skin lay-ups around skins and stiffeners, which amplify bending stiffness and defer delamination by means of effective stress distribution. The design problem is formulated as multi-objective optimization that maximizes buckling load capability while minimizing both maximum out-of-plane shear stress and panel weight. For efficient optimization, response surface methodology is employed for buckling load, two out-of-plane shear stresses, and panel weight with respect to one ply thickness, six fiber orientations of a skin, and four stiffener heights. Numerical results show that skin-covered composite stiffened panels can be devised for maximum buckling load and minimum interlaminar shear stresses under compressive load. In addition, the effects of different material properties are investigated and compared. The obtained results reveal that the composite stiffened panel with Kevlar material is the most effective design.

In this study, the influence of centrally placed circular and square cutouts on vibration and buckling characteristics of different ply-oriented laminated panels under the action of compressive and/or tensile types of non-uniform in-plane edge loads are investigated. The panels are inspected under the action of uniaxial compression, uniaxial tension and biaxial, compression-tension, loading configurations. Furthermore, the effects of different degrees of edge restraints and panel aspect ratios are also addressed in this work. Towards this, a nine-node heterosis plate element has been adopted which includes the effect of shear deformation and rotary inertia. According to the results, the tensile buckling loads are higher than that of compressive buckling loads. However, the tensile buckling load continuously reduces with the increased cutout sizes irrespective of ply-orientations. This is also true for compressive buckling loads except for some particular ply-orientations with higher sized cutouts.

본 연구에서는 철근 보강된 Engineered Cementitious Composite(ECC) 면내요소에 대한 2축응력 상태에서의 면내전단거동에 관한 예측 모델을 제시하였다. 기존의 철근콘크리트와 상이한 특성, 즉 ECC 요소의 복수미세균열 현상에 의한 높은 연성의 인장 거동, 일반 콘크리트에 비하여 연성적인 압축 연화 거동, 그리고 ECC 균열면에서의 전단전달 거동 특성 등을 모델에 반영하였다. 면내 순수전단거동에 대한 실험 및 해석결과를 통하여 개발된 R-ECC-MCFT 모델은 ECC 면내전단거동 예측에 효과적인 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 철근 보강된 ECC 면내요소는 철근콘크리트 면내요소에 비하여 최대전단강도 및 전단변형률이 증가하기 때문에 면내전단변형에서 높은 연성을 확보하는 것으로 평가되었다.
