Reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams are critical structural elements used in offshore pile caps, rectangular cross-section water tanks, silo structures, transfer beams in high-rise buildings, and bent caps. As a result of the low shear span ratio to effective depth (a/d) in deep beams, arch action occurs, which leads to shear failure. Several studies have been carried out to improve the shear resistance of RC deep beams and avoid brittle fracture behavior in recent years. This study was performed to investigate the behavior of RC deep beams numerically and experimentally with different reinforcement arrangements. Deep beams with four different reinforcement arrangements were produced and tested under monotonic static loading in the study's scope. The horizontal and vertical shear reinforcement members were changed in the test specimens to obtain the effects of different reinforcement arrangements. However, the rebars used for tension and the vertical shear reinforcement ratio were constant. In addition, the behavior of each deep beam was obtained numerically with commercial finite element analysis (FEA) software ABAQUS, and the findings were compared with the experimental results. The results showed that the reinforcements placed diagonally significantly increased the load-carrying and energy absorption capacities of RC deep beams. Moreover, an apparent plastic plateau was seen in the load-displacement curves of these test specimens in question (DE-2 and DE-3). This finding also indicated that diagonally located reinforcements improve displacement ductility. Also, the numerical results showed that the FEM method could be used to accurately predict RC deep beams'behavior with different reinforcement arrangements.

본 연구의 목적은 4 종류의 저 침습 고정성 국소의치의 수직하중에 대한 저항을 연구하여 임상 활용에 도움을 주기 위함이다. 상악 우측 제 1 대구치 결손을 가정하여 상악 제 2 대구치와 제 2 소구치를 지대치로 하는 고정성 국소의치 금속 다이를 제작하고 4 종류의 저 침습 고정성 국소의치 (Resin bonded FPD, Two Key Bridge, Human Bridge without occlusal rest, Human Bridge with occlusal rest)를 제작하였다. 만능 시험기를 이용하여 수직하중을 가하여 실패 시의 최대 하중을 기록하고 실패 유형을 기록하였다. 평균 최대 하중은 Resin bonded FPD 군이 7,295 N, Two Key Bridge 군이 4,729 N, Human Bridge without occlusal rest 군이 2,190 N, Human Bridge with occlusal rest 군이 3,073 N 이었다. Resin bonded FPD, Two Key Bridge, Human Bridge 군 사이에는 통계학적 유의차가 있었으나 occlusal rest 의 유무에 따른 Human bridge 군 사이에서는 통계학적 유의차가 없었다. 보철물 실패양상은 Resin bonded FPD와 Two Key Bridge는 양측 지대치의 유지부 한쪽이 탈락되는 경우가 양측 모두 탈락되는 경우보다 많았으며 Human Bridge 군은 모두 지대치 양측의 유지부가 함께 탈락되는 경우가 한쪽이 탈락된 경우보다 더 많았다. 본 연구에서 저 침습 고정성 국소의치의 수직 하중에 대한 저항은 Human Bridge 군이 resin bonded FPD 군이나 Two key Bridge 군에 비하여 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 임상에 적용할 때에는 이와 같은 파절 저항을 고려하여 수복 위치의 최대 교합을 참고하는 것은 물론이고 각종 수복물의 탈락에 대한 저항, 그리고 치질의 삭제량, 환자의 협조도 등을 고려하여 각각의 환자에 적합한 수복물을 선택해야 할 것이다.

보강토 옹벽에 체인을 보강재로 사용한 경우의 인발저항력 평가를 위한 현장실험을 실시하였다. 실험에서는 횡방향 부재로 강봉이나 L-형 강재앵글을 고려하였으며, 체인의 길이(20m, 2.5m 그리고 3.0m), 보강재의 조합(체인단독, 체인＋강봉 그리고 체인＋앵글) 그리고 설치위치 등을 다르게 하여 총 80개소에 대해서 인발실험을 실시하였다. 체인 또는 체인＋강봉의 경우, 최대 변위는 평균 150mm였으며, 인발하중은 지속적으로 증가하다가 체인의 극한강도에 도달하면 파단(인장파괴)되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 체인에 L-형 앵글을 조합한 경우에는 최대변위가 평균 100mm정도로서 변위 억제에 큰 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 현장에서 측정된 항복 인발하중값을 이론값과 비교했을 때는 보강 방법 또는 연직응력에 따라서 현장 측정값이 이론값 보다 약 1.2~3배정도 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 체인의 길이, 연직하중의 크기, 횡방향 부재의 조합에 따라서 항복 인발하중의 크기는 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 강봉과 L-형 앵글사이에 차이는 현저하지 않았다. 체인을 보강재로 사용하는 경우 기존의 이론식을 적용한 설계나 시공은 안전측으로 나타났으나, 체인의 인발 저항력이 너무 과소 평가되어 있다고 판단되었다.

It is evident that torsional resistance of a reinforced concrete (RC) member is attributed to both concrete and steel reinforcement. However, recent structural design codes neglect the contribution of concrete because of cracking. This paper reports on the results of an experimental and numerical investigation into the torsional capacity of concrete beams reinforced only by longitudinal rebars without transverse reinforcement. The experimental investigation involves six specimens tested under pure torsion. Each specimen was made using a cast-in-place concrete with different amounts of longitudinal reinforcements. To create the torsional moment, an eccentric load was applied at the end of the beam whereas the other end was fixed against twist, vertical, and transverse displacement. The experimental results were also compared with the results obtained from the nonlinear finite element analysis performed in ANSYS. The outcomes showed a good agreement between experimental and numerical investigation, indicating the capability of numerical analysis in predicting the torsional capacity of RC beams. Both experimental and numerical results showed a considerable torsional post-cracking resistance in high twist angle in test specimen. This post-cracking resistance is neglected in torsional design of RC members. This strength could be considered in the design of RC members subjected to torsion forces, leading to a more economical and precise design.

Enhanced vertical load capacity of the ground reinforced with the stone columns drew great attention by the researchers as it deals with many of the geotechnical difficulties associated with the weak ground. Recently, it has been found that the stone columns are also prone to fail under the shear load when employed beneath the embankments or the foundations susceptible to lateral loads. In this study, the effect of various encasement conditions on the lateral deflection of stone columns is investigated. A method of dual layers of encasement has been introduced and its the effect on lateral load capacity of the stone columns has been compared with those of the single encased stone column and the un-encased stone columns. Large shear box tests were utilised to generate the shear deformation on the soil system under various normal pressure conditions. The stiffness of the soil-stone column combined system has been compared for various cases of encasement conditions with different diameters. When subjected to lateral deformation, the encased columns outperformed the un-encased stone columns installed in loose sand. Shear stress resistance is up to 1.7 times greater in dual-layered, encased columns than in unencased columns. Similarly, the secant modulus increases as the condition changes from an unencased stone column to single-layer encasement and then to dual-layer encasement, indicating an improvement in the overall soil-stone column system.

The present study aims to improve the accuracy of the maneuvering simulations based on captive model test results. To derive the hydrodynamic coefficients in a self-propelled condition, a mathematical maneuvering model using a whole vehicle model was established. Captive model tests were carried out using the Vertical Planar Motion Mechanism (VPMM) equipment. A motor controller was used to control the constant propeller revolution rate during pure motion tests. The resistance tests, self-propulsion tests, static drift tests, and VPMM tests were performed in the towing tank of Seoul National University. When the vertical drift angle changes, the gravity load on the sensors were changed. The hydrodynamic forces were deduced by subtracting the gravity load from the measured forces. The hydrodynamic coefficients were calculated using the least-square method. The simulation of the turning circle test was compared with the free-running model test result, and the error of the turning radius was 8.3 % compared to the free-running model test.

In Hong Kong, large-diameter (${\ge}600mm$) bored piles and large-section excavated rectangular barrettes are commonly used to support tall buildings to resist both vertical and horizontal loads. These piles and barrettes penetrate through and may found in saprolitic soils and decomposed rocks. Generally, the design of these large bored piles and barrettes involves considerable amount of uncertainty and design parameters must usually be verified by field tests. In this paper, over 50 full-scale load tests on large-diameter bored piles and over 15 large-section of rectangular barrettes in Hong Kong are reviewed and interpreted critically, in particular the degree of mobilisation of side shear resistance using a mobilization rating (MR) factor and a displacement index (DI) for floating bored piles and barrettes and rock-socketed piles, respectively. The author was heavily involved with many of these load tests. The diameter of the bored piles tested ranges from 0.6m to 1.8m and the depth varies from 12m to 75m. Sizes of barrettes critically reviewed include $2.2m{\times}0.6m,\;2.2m{\times}0.8m,\;2.8m{\times}0.8m\;and\;2.8m{\times}1.0m$ (on plan) and the depth varies from 36m and 63m. Based on these field tests, a new failure load criterion for large-diameter bored piles and barrettes is developed and proposed. The side shear resistance of the bored piles and barrettes is quantitatively analyzed with respect to local displacements, standard penetration tests, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) for rock sockets and using the effective stress principle. In addition, the effects of construction including post-grouting, construction time, side scraping and excavation tools on side shear resistance are investigated and reported.

Steel girders are the structural members often used for passing long spans. Mostly being subjected to patch loading, or concentrated loading, steel girders are likely to face sudden deformation or damage e.g., web breathing. Horizontal or vertical stiffeners are employed to overcome this phenomenon. This study aims at assessing the feasibility of a machine learning method, namely the support vector machines (SVM) in predicting the patch loading resistance of longitudinally stiffened webs. A database consisting of 162 test data is utilized to develop SVM models and the model with best performance is selected for further inspection. Existing formulations proposed by other researchers are also investigated for comparison. BS5400 and other existing models (model I, model II and model III) appear to yield underestimated predictions with a large scatter; i.e., mean experimental-to-predicted ratios of 1.517, 1.092, 1.155 and 1.256, respectively; whereas the selected SVM model has high prediction accuracy with significantly less scatter. Robust nature and accurate predictions of SVM confirms its feasibility of potential use in solving complex engineering problems.

The drilled pier foundation is widely used to support transmission line structures due to its simplicity of construction. When this foundation type is used in conjunction with a single shaft or H-frame structure, it is subjected to a high overturning moment, combined with modest vertical and shear loads. Since the length and diameter of drilled piers are often governed by a maximum permissible deflection, many drilled piers being installed today are very conservatively designed. In this study, Five prototype field-tests (1/8 scale) have been conducted in order to determine the lateral resistance of drilled pier foundation for single pole structures. These test results reveal the test piers behaved essentially as rigid bodies in soil (6D) and the center of rotation of the pier were typically 0.6~0.4 of the pier depth below ground surface. Test results also show the relationship between the applied load and the deflection at the top of the pier is highly nonlinear.
