In this study, static axial crush tests were performed with the new aluminum/GFRP hybrid tube. Glass/Epoxy prepregs were wrapped around an aluminum tube and co-cured. The failure of the hybrid tube was stable and progressive without trigger mechanism, and specific energy absorption was increased to the maximum of 33% in comparison with the aluminum tube. Effective energy absorption is possible for an inner aluminum tube because a wrapped composite tube constrains the deflection of an aluminum tube. The failure of a hybrid composite tube was stable without trigger mechanism because the inner aluminum tube could play the role of the crack initiator and controller. Mean crushing load could be calculated by modifying the plastic hinge collapse model for hybrid materials. The predicted results by this analytical model showed good agreement with the experimental results. It can be said that Aluminum/Glass-Epoxy hybrid tube is suitable for the vehicle front structure because this hybrid tube shows effective energy absorption, easy production, and simple application capability for RTM process.

The postbuckling compressive strengths of $[0/90/\pm\theta]_s$ composite laminated cylindrical panels with various fiber angles and width-to-length ratios are characterized by the nonlinear finite element method. For the iteration and load-increment along the postbuckling equilibrium path a modified arc-length method in which the effect of failure can be considered is introduced. In the progressive failure analysis the maximum stress criterion and complete unloading model are used. Present finite element results show good agreement with experiments for $[0_3/90]_s$ cylindrical panel and $[0/\pm45/90/]_s$ plate. The postbuckling compressive strength of $[0/90/\pm\theta]_s$ composite laminated cylindrical panel is independent of the initial buckling stress but high in the panel with large value of the bending stiffness in axial direction. In the several cylindrical panels, it is observed that the prebuckling compressive failures occur and result into the collapse before the buckling.

Cavities often develop behind the vault during the construction of double-arch tunnels, generally in the form of various defects. The study evaluates the impact of cavities behind the vault on the mechanical and failure behaviors of double-arch tunnels. Cavities of the same sizes are introduced at the vault and the shoulder close to the central wall of double-arch tunnels. Physical model tests are performed to investigate the liner stress variation, the earth pressure distribution and the process of progressive failure. Results reveal that the presence of cavities behind the liner causes the re-distribution of the earth pressure and induces stress concentration near the boundaries of cavities, which results in the bending moments in the liner inside the cavity to reverse sign from compression to tension. The liner near the invert becomes the weak region and stress concentration points are created in the outer fiber of the liner at the bottom of the sidewall and central wall. It is suggested that grouting into the foundation soils and backfilling injection should be carried out to ensure the tunnel safety. Changes in the location of cavities significantly impact the failure pattern of the liner close to the vault, e.g., cracks appear in the outer fiber of the liner inside the cavity when a cavity is located at the shoulder close to the central wall, which is different from the case that the cavity locates at the vault, whereas changes in the location of cavities have a little influence on the liner at the bottom of the double-arch tunnels.

Open-pit (OP) and underground (UG) mining are usually used to exploit shallow and deep ore deposits, respectively. When mine deposit starts from shallow subsurface and extends to a great depth, sequential use of OP and UG mining is an efficient and economical way to maintain mining productivity. However, a transition from OP to UG mining could induce significant rock movements that cause the slope instability of the open pit. Based on Yanqianshan Iron Mine, which was in the transition from OP to UG mining, a large-scale two-dimensional (2D) model test was built according to the similar theory. Thereafter, the UG mining was carried out to mimic the process of transition from OP to UG mining to disclose the triggered rock movement as well as to assess the associated slope instability. By jointly using three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning, distributed fiber optics, and digital photogrammetry measurement, the deformations, movements and strains of the rock slope during mining were monitored. The obtained data showed that the transition from OP to UG mining led to significant slope movements and deformations that can trigger catastrophic slope failure. The progressive movement of the slope could be divided into three stages: onset of micro-fracture, propagation of tensile cracks, and the overturning and/or sliding of slopes. The failure mode depended on the orientation of structural joints of the rock mass as well as the formation of tension cracks. This study also proved that these non-contact monitoring technologies were valid methods to acquire the interior strain and external deformation with high precision.

In this paper, two different computational methods, called Rayleigh-Ritz and collocation are developed to estimate the ultimate strength of composite plates. Progressive damage behavior of moderately thick composite laminated plates is studied under in-plane compressive load and uniform lateral pressure. The formulations of both methods are based on the concept of the principle of minimum potential energy. First order shear deformation theory and the assumption of large deflections are used to develop the equilibrium equations of laminated plates. Therefore, Newton-Raphson technique will be used to solve the obtained system of nonlinear algebraic equations. In Rayleigh-Ritz method, two degradation models called complete and region degradation models are used to estimate the degradation zone around the failure location. In the second method, a new energy based collocation technique is introduced in which the domain of the plate is discretized into the Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto points. In this new method, in addition to the two previous models, the new model named node degradation model will also be used in which the material properties of the area just around the failed node are reduced. To predict the failure location, Hashin failure criteria have been used and the corresponding material properties of the failed zone are reduced instantaneously. Approximation of the displacement fields is performed by suitable harmonic functions in the Rayleigh-Ritz method and by Legendre basis functions (LBFs) in the second method. Finally, the results will be calculated and discussions will be conducted on the methods.

본 논문에서는 자연 노화가 필라멘트 와인딩으로 제작된 압력용기의 강도 분포와 구조 사용 수명에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 자연 노화에 따라 변화되는 섬유 방향 파괴 변형률을 설계 확률 변수로 하는 확률 강도 해석을 수행하였다. 이때 확률강도 해석은 정확한 파열 압력을 예측하기 위해 연속 파손 모드가 고려되었고, 비선형 한계식의 해를 구하기 위해 FORM방법이 이용되었다. 해석을 통해 노화 시간별 파괴 확률 분포 선도를 구하였다. 복합재 구조물의 특성상 재료 물성 및 제작 공정 변수 영향으로 제품의 성능 변동성이 비교적 크게 나타났고, 노화로 인한 압력용기의 파열 압력 저하 현상은 대부분 10년 이내에서 발생하였다. 임의 적층의 복합재 압력 용기를 모델로 하여 수명을 평가한 결과, 파괴 확률 2.5%와 안전율 1.3을 고려한 설계 압력 3,250psi기준으로 약 13년의 사용 수명이 평가되었다.

Assessment of existing concrete bridges is a challenge for owners. It has greater economic impact when compared to designing new bridges. When using conventional linear analyses, judgment of the engineer is required to understand the behavior of redundant structures after the first element in the structural system reaches its ultimate capacity. The alternative is to use a predictive tool such as advanced nonlinear finite element analyses (ANFEA) to assess the overall structural behavior. This paper proposes a new reliability framework for the assessment of existing bridge structures using ANFEA. A general framework defined in previous works, accounting for material uncertainties and concrete model performance, is adapted to the context of the assessment of existing bridges. A "shifted" reliability problem is defined under the assumption of quasi-deterministic dead load effects. The overall exercise is viewed as a progressive pushover analysis up to structural failure, where the actual safety index is compared at each event to a target reliability index.

본 연구에서는 실제 터널 단면의 형상을 갖는 Trapdoor시험과 수치 해석을 수행하여 주변지반의 거동, 이완하중의 분포 및 점진적인 파괴 현상에 대하여 분석하였다. 지반하중은 Trapdoor의 하강에 따라 급격히 감소 후에 다시 크게 증가하여 일정한 이완하중에 도달하여 아칭효과를 확인 할 수 있었으며, 느슨 모래의 경우가 조밀 모래 보다 상대적으로 큰 값을 나타내었다. 전단대의 형성은 터널 어깨부에서 발생하여 터널 측벽에서 $63^{\circ}$(느슨) 및 $69^{\circ}$(조밀) 방향으로 시작하여 완만한 곡선을 이루며 지표를 향하여 진행하는 형상을 나타내었다. 터널 상부에서의 전단대의 폭원은 1.83b~1.92b(b는 터널폭)로서 기존 제안식으로 구한 값과 유사한 범위를 보였으나, 전단대의 높이는 대심도의 경우 터널고의 1.5~2.0배 정도로서 기존의 제안 값(약 3.0배) 보다 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트(reinforced connote) 구조물에 대해 발파해체 축소모형실험을 수행하고 이를 전산실험결과와 비교하였다. 적용된 발파해체 공법은 파괴거동을 비교적 쉽게 확인할 수 있는 점진붕괴공법이며, 차원해석(Hobbs(1969))을 실시하여 축소모형실험에 적용될 강도특성을 계산하였다. 이에 따라 석고, 모래, 물의 혼합하여 콘크리트를 대용할 재료로 사용하였으며, 연성을 지니며 축소강도가 철근과 유사한 땜용 납선을 철근 대용 재료로 사용하였다. 이 때 모래와 석고의 중량 비를 다양하게 변화시키면서 이에 따른 강도의 변화를 측정하고 최적의 강도 값을 갖는 배합 비를 결정하여 사용하였다. 모형의 제작은 실내에서 미리 양생된 부재들을 현장으로 옮겨 연결부만을 타설하여 일체화시키는 방법으로 구조물을 축조하였다. 축소모형실험을 전산실험결과와 비교하기 위하여 요소의 파괴거동을 육안으로 확인할 수 있는 개별요소법에 의해 수행되는 상용코드인 PFC2D(Particle Flow Code 2-Dimension)를 사용하여 전산해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 3차원 무근 콘크리트 라멘 구조의 모형을 설계하고 그 축소모형을 발파해체하여 거동을 촬영하였다. 이를 전산실험결과와 비교하여 2차원 해석의 한계는 존재하나 대체로 유사한 형태의 거동을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 무근 콘크리트 라멘 구조 해석의 경험과 철근콘크리트 보의 실내 굴곡실험결과를 근거로 하여 철근콘크리트 구조모형의 발파해체 사전해석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 2차원 해석이라는 한계에도 불구하고 900ms 까지는 거의 유사한 거동을 보이며 붕괴됨을 확인하였다.
