Experimental work undertaken to investigate the behaviour of lead-rubber bearings under compression and a combination of compression and shear or rotation has been reported on elsewhere. However, it is difficult to determine the state of stress within the bearings in terms of the applied forces and the interaction between the lead plug and the steel shims and elastomeric layers. In order to supply some of the missing information about the stress-strain state within the bearings, an analytical study using the finite element method was carried out. The available experimental results were used to validate the model and although agreement was not as good as expected (on account of difficulties in modelling the lead plug), the analyses did provide some information about the state of the stress within the bearing.

Eccentrically braced frames (EBF) represent an optimal structural solution for seismic prone areas, being able to provide high dissipative capacity and good elastic stiffness, to withstand strong seismic events without significant loss of bearing capacity and to avoid damage to non-structural elements in case of low and moderate earthquakes. The accurate knowledge of the cyclic behaviour of the dissipative links, characterizing the whole performance of EBFs, is required to optimize the structural properties and to refine the design techniques adopted for multi-storey buildings' analysis. Reliable numerical models for the links, at the same time requiring a limited computational effort, are then needed. The present work shows the results of a wide experimental test campaign executed on real-scale one storey/one bay frames with horizontal and vertical links, together with the elaboration of a simple semi-analytical model for the quick representation of the cyclic behaviour of shear links.

A nonlinear finite element analysis using ANSYS is used to evaluate the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints. The behavior of the finite element models under cyclic loading is compared with the experimental results. Two beam-column joint specimens (SH and SHD) with square hoop confinement in joint and throughout the column with detailing as per IS 13920 are studied. The specimen SHD was provided with additional diagonal bars from column to beam to relocate the plastic hinge formation from beam-column interface. The load-displacement relationship, joint shear stress and strain in beam obtained from numerical study showed good agreement with the experimental results. This investigation proves that seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete beam-column joints under reversed cyclic loading can be evaluated successfully using finite element modeling and analysis.

본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하여 사용 중인 단독말뚝 및 군말뚝의 측면에서 실시된 터널굴착에 의한 말뚝의 거동을 분석하였다. 수치해석에서는 터널굴착으로 유발된 말뚝-지반 경계면에서의 전단응력전이를 미끄러짐(slip)을 고려할 수 있는 접촉요소(interface element)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구는 말뚝-지반경계면에서의 전단응력, 말뚝의 축력 및 지반 및 말뚝의 변형에 대한 분석을 포함한다. 탄성이론에 근거한 기존의 연구는 말뚝의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요인자들을 적절히 고려하지 못하여 말뚝의 거동을 명확하게 분석할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다. 터널굴착으로 유발된 말뚝-지반 사이에서의 전단응력전이로 인하여 말뚝인접 지반의 전단응력 및 말뚝의 축력분포가 크게 변하는 것으로 나타났는데, 터널 springline 상부에서는 하향의 마찰력이 발생하였으며, 그 하부에서는 상향의 저항력이 발현되어 말뚝에는 압축력이 발생하였다. 경계면에서의 전단응력 발현정도는 말뚝-지반의 상호거동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 군말뚝의 축력분포에 대한 분석결과 단독말뚝에 비해 터널굴착의 영향을 덜 받는 것으로 나타났다. 터널굴착으로 유발된 말뚝의 침하와 관련된 말뚝의 겉보기 지지력 감소는 크지 않은 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 단독말뚝의 측면에서 시공되는 터널에 의한 말뚝의 거동에 대하여 3차원 수치해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 수치해석을 통하여 터널-말뚝-지반의 상호거동에 대한 심도 있는 분석을 실시하였다. 수치해석을 통해 말뚝의 침하, 말뚝과 주변지반 사이의 상대변위, 전단응력 및 말뚝의 축력변화를 고찰하였다. 특히 터널굴착에 의한 전단응력의 전이과정에 대한 심도 있는 분석을 실시하였다. 터널굴착에 의한 말뚝과 인근지반에서의 상대변위 변화로 인하여 말뚝에 작용하는 전단응력 및 축력의 분포가 변하게 되는 것으로 나타났다. 터널 중심부의 상부에서는 하향의 전단응력이 발생하는 반면(Z/L=0.0-0.7~0.8), 그 하부에서는 (Z/L=0.7~0.8-1.0) 상향의 전단응력이 발생하여 말뚝에 압축력이 발생된다, 이때 Z는 임의의 심도, L은 말뚝의 길이다. 터널굴착이 종료된 후 말뚝에는 최대 $0.475P_a$의 압축력이 발생하였다, 이때 $P_a$는 말뚝의 설계지지력이다. 수치해석을 통해서 도출된 터널굴착이 말뚝 거동에 미치는 영향에 대해 상세히 고찰하였다.

거친 절리면의 수직팽창 특성이 전단거동에 미치는 영향을 고려할 수 있는 새로운 전단거동 구성법책을 탄소성이론에 근거하여 제시하였다. 공식화 과정에서는 항복함수 및 소성포텐셜 함수로 Barton의 경험적 강도식들이 이용되었다. 전단강도의 경화 및 연화현상을 반영시키기 이해 mobilized JRC 개념이 적용되었다. 최대전단강도 이전과 이후의 JRC 변화는 절리면 전단방향 소성일의 함수로 표현할 수 있다고 가정하였다. 제안된 구성모델을 개별체 절리 유한요소에 적용하여 실행시켰다. 경계조건을 달리한 수치 직접전단시험을 통하여 제안된 모델을 검증하였다. 해석결과는 여러 문헌에 보고된 실험결과들과 잘 일치하였다. 또한 제안된 모델은 거친 절리면의 전단시험에서 특징적으로 나타나는 현상들을 잘 모사할 수 있음을 보였다.

In this study, the deformation characteristics of atrtificially fractured joints of granite under normal and shear loading were investigated. To obtain the characteristics of joint deformation, compression and shear tests were performed in the laboratory on three different sizes of rock specimens. The rock used in the experimens was Iksan granite. Joints were produced artificially by fracturing using the apparatus for generating extension-joint. Joint normal deformability was studied by conducting cyclic loading tests on the joints. Joint closure varied non-linearly with normal stress through cyclic loadings. As normal stress increased, the joints gradually reached a state of maximum joint closure. The relation between normal stress and joint closure for mated and unmated joints was well described by the hyperbolic and exponential function, respectively. Joint shear deformability was studied by performing direct shear tests under normal stresses on the joints. it was shown that the behaviour in the prepeak range was non-linear and joint shear stiffness depended on the size of specimen and the normal stress.

A theoretical model known as the modified rotating-angle softened-truss model (MRA-STM), which is a modification of Rotating-Angle Softened-Truss Model and Modified Compression Field Theory, is presented for the analysis of reinforced concrete membranes in shear. As an application, shear strength and behaviour of reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints are analysed using the MRA-STM combining with the deep beam analogy. The joints are considered as RC panels and subjected to vertical and horizontal shear stresses from adjacent columns and beams. The strut and truss actions in a beam-column joint are represented by the effective transverse compression stresses and a softened concrete truss in the proposed model. The theoretical predictions of shear strength of reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints from the proposed model show good agreement with the experimental results.

Experiments have been carried out on six composite and two plain steel plate girders under shear loading to understand the elastic and inelastic behaviour of such girders. The failure mechanism assumed and used to develop design equations is normally based on the failure patterns observed in the experiments. Therefore, different types of cracks and failure patterns observed in the experiments are reviewed briefly first. Based on the observed failure patterns, a design method to predict the ultimate shear capacity of composite plate girders is proposed in this paper. The values of ultimate shear capacity obtained using the proposed design method are compared with the corresponding experimental values and it is found that the proposed method is able to predict the shear capacity accurately.
