Based on a four-variable shear deformation shell theory, the free vibration analysis of functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (FGGPRC) doubly-curved shallow shells with different boundary conditions is investigated in this work. The doubly-curved shells are composed of multi nanocomposite layers that are reinforced with graphene platelets. The graphene platelets are uniformly distributed in each individual layer. While, the volume faction of the graphene is graded from layer to other in accordance with a novel distribution law. Based on the suggested distribution law, four types of FGGPRC doubly-curved shells are studied. The present shells are assumed to be rested on elastic foundations. The material properties of each layer are calculated using a micromechanical model. Four equations of motion are deduced utilizing Hamilton's principle and then converted to an eigenvalue problem employing an analytical method. The obtained results are checked by introducing some comparison examples. A detailed parametric investigation is performed to illustrate the influences of the distribution type of volume fraction, shell curvatures, elastic foundation stiffness and boundary conditions on the vibration of FGGPRC doubly-curved shells.

This paper investigates the influences of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) on the seismic behavior of two-dimensional reinforced concrete moment-resisting frames subjected to Far-Field Ground Motion (FFGM) and Near-Field Ground Motion (NFGM). For this purpose, the nonlinear modeling of 7, 10, and 15-story reinforced concrete moment resisting frames were developed in Open Systems for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees) software. Effects of SSI were studied by simulating Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation (BNWF) and the soil type as homogenous medium-dense. Generally, the building resistance to seismic loads can be explained in terms of Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA); therefore, IDA curves are presented in this study. For comparison, the fragility evaluation is subjected to NFGM and FFGM as proposed by Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors (FEMA P-695). The seismic performance of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings with fixed and flexible foundations was evaluated to assess the probability of collapse. The results of this paper demonstrate that SSI and NFGM have significantly influenced the probability of failure of the RC frames. In particular, the flexible-base RC buildings experience higher Spectral acceleration (Sa) compared to the fixed-base ones subjected to FFGM and NFGM.

At present, the research on wave propagation in graphene platelet reinforced composite plates focuses on the propagation behavior of bulk waves, in which the effect of boundary condition is ignored, there is no literature report on propagation behaviors of guided waves in graphene platelet reinforced metal foams (GPLRMF) plates. In fact, wave propagation is affected by boundary conditions, so it is necessary to study the propagation characteristics of guided waves. The aim of this paper is to solve this problem. The effective performance of the material was calculated using the mixing law. Equations of motion of GPLRMF plate is derived by using Hamilton's principle. Then, the eigenvalue method is used to obtain the expressions of bending wave, shear wave and longitudinal wave, and the degradation verification is carried out. Finally, the effects of graphene platelets (GPLs) volume fraction, elastic foundation, porosity coefficient, GPLs distribution types and porosity distribution types on the dispersion relations are studied. We find that these factors play an important role in the propagation characteristics and phase velocity of guided waves.

최근 건축과 토목 구조물 기초에 적용되는 말뚝의 시공법은 환경 훼손, 소음 공해, 그리고 주위 민원을 최소화하기 위해 항타공법에서 매입공법 위주로 변화하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 이러한 시공방법의 변화로 인해 기존의 항타공법으로 사용되었던 말뚝 대신, 재료 및 구조적인 시스템 측면에서 보다 최적화되고 경제적인 매입용 말뚝의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 매입용 말뚝인 원심성형 철근콘크리트 말뚝의 보강된 이음방법을 제안하였다. 이전의 연구에서는 원심성형 철근콘크리트 말뚝에 대해 연장된 원형띠판과 스터드로 구성된 이음 보강방법이 기존 이음방법의 구조성능을 개선 시킬 수 있을 것으로 검토되었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 이음방법의 구조성능을 말뚝의 휨과 전단 강도 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 이 제안된 이음방법은 설계에서 요구되는 휨과 전단 강도에 대해 충분한 성능을 보인 것으로 실험에서 나타났다. 또한, 전반적인 하중-처짐 거동이 이음부가 없는 일체형 구조에 근접하므로 설계에서 예상하는 거동과 성능이 안정적으로 현장 구조물에 반영될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of the present study is to set up an efficient optimum design method for the large-scale reinforced concrete cylindrical shell structures like intake tower of reservoir and to establish a solid foundation for the automatic optimum structural design combined with finite element analysis. The major design variables are the dimensions and steel areas of each member of the structures. The construction cost which is composed of the concrete, steel, and form work costs, respectively, is taken as the objective function. The constraint equations for the design of intake-tower are derived on the basis of the working stress design method. The corresponding design guides including the standard specification for concrete structures have been also employed in deraving the constraint conditions. The present nonlinear optimization problem is solved by SUMT method. The reinforced concrete intake-tower is decomposed into three major substructures. The optimization is then conducted for both the whole structure and the substructures. The following conclusions can be drawn from the present study. 1. The basis of automatic optimum design of reinforced concrete cylindrical shell structures which is combined with finite element analysis was established. 2. The efficient optimization algorithms which can execute the automatic optimum desigh of reinforced concrete intake-tower based on the working stress design method were developed. 3. Since the objective function and design variables were converged to their optimum values within the first or second iteration, the optImization algorithms developed in this study seem to be efficient and stable. 4. The difference in construction cost between the optimum designs with the substructures and with the entire structure was found to be small and thus the optimum design with the substructures,rnay conveniently be used in practical design. 5. The major active constraints of each structural member were found to be the tensile stress insteel for salb, the minimum lonitudinal steel ratio constraints for tower body and the shearing stress in concrete, tensile stress in steel and maximum eccentricityconstraints for footing, respectively. 6. The computer program develope in the present study can be effectively used even by an unexperienced designer for the optimum design of reinforced concrete intake-tower.

Tendon reinforced cemented soil is applied extensively in foundation stabilisation and improvement, especially in areas with soft clay. To solve the deterioration problem led by steel corrosion, the glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) tendon is introduced to substitute the traditional steel tendon. The interface bond strength between the cemented soil matrix and GFRP tendon demonstrates the outstanding mechanical property of this composite. However, the lack of research between the influence factors and bond strength hinders the application. To evaluate these factors, back propagation neural network (BPNN) is applied to predict the relationship between them and bond strength. Since adjusting BPNN parameters is time-consuming and laborious, the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm is proposed. This study evaluated the influence of water content, cement content, curing time, and slip distance on the bond performance of GFRP tendon-reinforced cemented soils (GTRCS). The results showed that the ultimate and residual bond strengths were both in positive proportion to cement content and negative to water content. The sample cured for 28 days with 30% water content and 50% cement content had the largest ultimate strength (3879.40 kPa). The PSO-BPNN model was tuned with 3 neurons in the input layer, 10 in the hidden layer, and 1 in the output layer. It showed outstanding performance on a large database comprising 405 testing results. Its higher correlation coefficient (0.908) and lower root-mean-square error (239.11 kPa) were obtained compared to multiple linear regression (MLR) and logistic regression (LR). In addition, a sensitivity analysis was applied to acquire the ranking of the input variables. The results illustrated that the cement content performed the strongest influence on bond strength, followed by the water content and slip displacement.

얕은 기초의 침하는 기초에 가해지는 상재 하중의 지반에 전달될 때 분포되는 응력의 특성과 크기에 관련되어 일어난다. 일반적으로 지반의 보강재로 사용되는 지오그리드로 두께가 작은 토체를 보강하면 지중에 전달되는 응력을 재분포시켜 감소시킨다. 이 논문에서는 현장시험을 통하여 여러 층의 지오그리드로 토체를 보강시 토체 상부에 가해지는 원형 등분포 하중하에서 토체의 응력 분포를 측정하였다. 인천국제 공항 건설 현장의 준설 매립 구간에서 행하여진 이 시험을 통하여, 지오그리드로 보강된 토체의 하중 분포는 기초에 가해지는 하중 강도와, 보강재 포설층수, 토체의 두께의 함수로 나타낼 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 보편적인 제방 보강공법 중 하나인 보축 공법이 적용된 실제 제방을 대상으로 하여, 원심모형시험을 수행하고 조건에 따른 제방의 침투 거동을 분석하였다. 동일한 단면 조건에서 투수성이 낮은 양질의 재료가 제내지를 보축한 경우와 제외지를 보축한 경우에 대한 원심모형시험을 수행하고 각 경우를 비교하여, 보축 방향에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 또한, 대상 현장의 제방은 투수성이 낮은 세립토층에 축조되어 있었으며, 이에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 제외지 보축의 경우, 시간이 흐름에 따라 제내지 보축의 경우에 비해 포화영역의 확산이 적고 느리게 나타났다. 제내지 보축된 경우, 상대적으로 빠르게 포화영역이 확대되었으나, 제내지 보축의 낮은 투수성으로 침투수가 많이 유출되지는 않았다. 낮은 투수성의 하부 기초지반은 포화영역이 확대되었으며, 또한 기초지반 아래에서 배수층에 작용하는 압력으로 인한 과잉간극수압에 의해 보다 빠르게 포화가 진행되었다.
