Older brick masonry structures generally suffer from low strength defects. Using a cement mortar layer (CML) or steel-meshed cement mortar layer (S-CML) to reinforce existing low-strength brick masonry structures (LBMs) is still an effective means of increasing seismic performance. However, performance indices such as lateral displacement ratios and skeleton curves for LBMs reinforced with CML or S-CML need to be clarified in performance-based seismic design and evaluation. Therefore, research into the failure mechanisms and seismic performance of LBMs reinforced with CML or S-CML is imperative. In this study, thirty low-strength brick walls (LBWs) with different cross-sectional areas, bonding mortar types, vertical loads, and CML/S-CML thicknesses were constructed. The failure modes, load-carrying capacities, energy dissipation capacity and lateral drift ratio limits in different limits states were acquired via quasi-static tests. The results show that 1) the primary failure modes of UBWs and RBWs are "diagonal shear failure" and "sliding failure through joints." 2) The acceptable drift ratios of Immediate Occupancy (IO), Life Safety (LS), and Collapse Prevention (CP) for UBWs can be 0.04%, 0.08%, and 0.3%, respectively. For 20-RBWs, the acceptable drift ratios of IO, LS, and CP for 20-RBWs can be 0.037%, 0.09%, and 0.41%, respectively. Moreover, the acceptable drift ratios of IO, LS, and CP for 40-RBWs can be 0.048%, 0.09%, and 0.53%, respectively. 3) Reinforcing low-strength brick walls with CML/S-CML can improve brick walls' bearing capacity, deformation, and energy dissipation capacity. Using CML/S-CML reinforcement to improve the seismic performance of old masonry houses is a feasible and practical choice.

Elastic bending of imperfect functionally graded sandwich plates (FGSPs) laying on the Winkler-Pasternak foundation and subjected to sinusoidal loads is analyzed. The analyses have been established using the quasi-3D sinusoidal shear deformation model. In this theory, the number of unknowns is condensed to only five unknowns using integral-undefined terms without requiring any correction shear factor. Moreover, the current constituent material properties of the middle layer is considered homogeneous and isotropic. But those of the top and bottom face sheets of the graded porous sandwich plate (FGSP) are supposed to vary regularly and continuously in the direction of thickness according to the trigonometric volume fraction's model. The corresponding equilibrium equations of FGSPs with simply supported edges are derived via the static version of the Hamilton's principle. The differential equations of the system are resolved via Navier's method for various schemes of FGSPs. The current study examine the impact of the material index, porosity, side-to-thickness ratio, aspect ratio, and the Winkler-Pasternak foundation on the displacements, axial and shear stresses of the sandwich structure.

The design shear strength equations of RC shear walls have been developed based on their performance under in-plane (IP) loads, thereby failing to account for the potential performance degradation of shear strength when subjected to simultaneous out-of-plane (OOP) loading. Most of the previous experimental studies on RC walls have been conducted in one direction under quasi-static conditions, and due to the difficulty in experimental planning, there is a lack of research on cyclic loading and results under multi-axial loading conditions. During an earthquake, shear walls may yield earlier than their design strength or fail unexpectedly when subjected to multi-directional forces, deviating from their intended failure mode. In this paper, nonlinear analysis in finite element models was performed based on the results of cyclic loading experiments on reinforced concrete shear walls of auxiliary buildings. To investigate the reduction trend in IP shear capacity concerning the OOP load ratio, parametric analysis was conducted using the shear wall FEM. The analysis results showed that as the magnitude of the OOP load increased, the IP strength decreased, with a more significant effect observed as the size of the opening increased. Thus, the necessity to incorporate this strength reduction as a factor for the OOP load effect in the wall design strength equation should be discussed by performing various parametric studies.

본 연구에서는 국내고속도로에서 많이 사용되고 있는 이주형 교각을 주하중방향에 따른 이축지진하중에서의 지진응답을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 실험체는 지름 400mm 높이 2,000mm인 이주형 원형 교각 6기 및 단주형 원형교각 1기를 제작하였으며, $0.1 f_{ck}A_g$ 크기의 축방향 하중작용하에서 횡방향 하중을 주하중방향을 교축방향과 교축방향으로 하여 이축으로 교번반복 재하하였다. 실험변수는 횡구속 철근비와 주하중방향으로 주하중이 교축방향인 실험체는 기존의 단주와 같이 하부에만 소성힌 지부가 발생하는 휨파괴 양상을 나타내었지만 주하중방향이 교축직각방향인 경우 교각의 하단부 뿐만 아니라 교각의 상부에서도 소성힌지가 발생하였으며, 주하중방향이 교축방향인 실험체보다 더 좋은 연성도를 나타내었다.

본 연구의 목적은 중력 하중에 저항하도록 설계된 플랫 플레이트 외부 접합부의 이력 거동을 평가하는 데 있다. 이러한 목적을 위하여 2/3의 크기가 조정된 PT 슬래브-기둥 외부 접합부 2개와 RC 슬래브-기둥 외부 접합부 1개를 대상으로 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 여기서 각각의 PT 실험체는 서로 다른 강선 배치 형태를 띄고 있다. 중력 하중은 동일하게 설정하였고, 지속적인 정적 하중 하에서 유사 정적 횡하중을 적용하였다. 한편 모든 실험체는 ACI 318-05과 ACI 352.1R-89에 근거하여 기둥 폭 내에 하부 철근을 배근 하였다. 또한 PT 외부 접합부의 이력 거동에 대한 일반적인 결론을 얻기 위하여 기존 연구자들의 실험 결과와 함께 비교하였다. 이번 연구를 통하여 강선의 배치는 PT 접합부의 이력 거동을 결정하는 중요한 변수임을 확인하였다. 즉 횡변형 성능, 에너지 소산 능력, 파괴 메커니즘, 그리고 연성 능력이 강선의 배치에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 또한 ACI 352.1R-89에서 구조적 일체성을 위해 제공된 하부 철근의 양은 모멘트 역전에 의해 발생된 정모멘트를 저항하는데 있어서도 적절하다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 또한 실험체의 전단 강도는 강선의 포스트 텐션에 의한 평균 콘크리트 압축 응력($f_{pc}$)의 효과가 고려된 식이 그렇지 않은 식보다 전단 강도를 정확히 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, experimental investigations on high strength steel (HSS) stud connected steel-concrete composite (SCC) girders to understand the effect of shear connector density on their flexural behaviour is presented. SCC girder specimens were designed for three different shear capacities (100%, 85%, and 70%), by varying the number of stud connectors in the shear span. Three SCC girder specimens were tested under monotonic/quasi-static loading, while three similar girder specimens were subjected to non-reversal cyclic loading under simply supported end conditions. Details of casting the specimens, experimental set-up, and method of testing, instrumentation for the measurement of deflection, interface-slip and strain are discussed. It is found that SCC girder specimen designed for full shear capacity exhibits interface slip for loads beyond 25% of the ultimate load capacity. Specimens with lesser degree of shear connection show lower values of load at initiation of slip. Very good ductility is exhibited by all the HSS stud connected SCC girder specimens. It is observed that the ultimate moment of resistance as well as ductility gets reduced for HSS stud connected SCC girder with reduction in stud shear connector density. Efficiency factor indicating the effectiveness of high strength stud connectors in resisting interface forces is estimated to be 0.8 from the analysis. Failure mode is primarily flexure with fracturing of stud connectors and characterised by flexural cracking and crushing of concrete at top in the pure bending region. Local buckling in the top flange of steel beam was also observed at the loads near to failure, which is influenced by spacing of studs and top flange thickness of rolled steel section. One of the recommendations is that the ultimate load capacity can be limited to 1.5 times the plastic moment capacity of the section such that the post peak load reduction is kept within limits. Load-deflection behaviour for monotonic tests compared well with the envelope of load-deflection curves for cyclic tests. It is concluded from the experimental investigations that use of HSS studs will reduce their numbers for given loading, which is advantageous in case of long spans. Buckling of top flange of rolled section is observed at failure stage. Provision of lips in the top flange is suggested to avoid this buckling. This is possible in case of longer spans, where normally built-up sections are used.

충격하중을 받는 재료의 변형거동에 관한 연구는 공학 및 산업의 다양한 분야에서 관심 받고 있으며, 이들 기계/구조물 부재의 변형 및 파괴거동의 다수는 중간 변형률속도 영역에 해당하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 이러한 변형률속도역에서 동적변형거동을 고려하는 것이 설계의 필수조건이 되었다. 이들 영역은 준정적과 SHPB 시험장치를 이용하는 고 변형률속도의 중간 영역에 위치하고 있어서, 종래의 적당한 시험장치를 이용하여 중 변형률속도를 얻는 것이 용이하지 않았다. 따라서 중간 변형률속도역에서 재료의 변형 및 파괴거동에 관한 유용한 데이터의 보고는 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 구축한 낙추식 충격 인장시험 장치의 신뢰성을 확보하였고, 이를 사용하여 탄소강의 중 변형률속도역에서 동적거동을 평가하였다.
