  • The optimal seismic retrofitting of NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) cabinet structures that contained class 1 relays were studies in this paper. During earthquake event, the failure modes of relays are not appeared in form of structural failure, but are appeared in form of contact chatter of relay. Therefore, the retrofitting of cabinet has to be aimed to the reducing of the structural response, such as acceleration. In this study, the optimal characteristic values of dampers were searched by μ-GA (micro-Genetic Algorithm) scheme for several installation patterns. To keep accuracy and efficiency of analysis, the structural models of cabinet were considered as a frame structure. The responses of structure were obtained in form of acceleration response spectra derived from the results of nonlinear time history analysis including damping nonlinearity. The fitness function of the optimum procedure was constructed based on the ratio of maximum spectral value and target GERS (General Equipment Ruggedness Spectra). The results show the good improvements of fitness fur adequate retrofitting pattern. Especially, the improvements of fitness were remarkable when the damping exponents are proper.

  • Various computational tools are available for modeling highly nonlinear structural engineering problems that lack a precise analytical theory or understanding of the phenomena involved. This paper adopts a fairly simple nonparametric adaptive regression algorithm known as multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) to model the nonlinear interactions between variables. The MARS method makes no specific assumptions about the underlying functional relationship between the input variables and the response. Details of MARS methodology and its associated procedures are introduced first, followed by a number of examples including three practical structural engineering problems. These examples indicate that accuracy of the MARS prediction approach. Additionally, MARS is able to assess the relative importance of the designed variables. As MARS explicitly defines the intervals for the input variables, the model enables engineers to have an insight and understanding of where significant changes in the data may occur. An example is also presented to demonstrate how the MARS developed model can be used to carry out structural reliability analysis.

  • Previous long-term measurements of the Uldolmok tidal current power plant showed that the structure's natural frequencies fluctuate with a constant cycle-i.e., twice a day with changes in tidal height and tidal current velocity. This study aims to improve structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques for offshore structures under a harsh tidal environment like the Uldolmok Strait. In this study, lab-scale experiments on a simplified offshore structure as a lab-scale test structure were conducted in a circulating water channel to thoroughly investigate the causes of fluctuation of the natural frequencies and to validate the displacement estimation method using multimetric data fusion. To this end, the numerical study was additionally carried out on the simplified offshore structure with damage scenarios, and the corresponding change in the natural frequency was analyzed to support the experimental results. In conclusion, (1) the damage that occurred at the foundation resulted in a more significant change in natural frequencies compared with the effect of added mass; moreover, the structural system became nonlinear when the damage was severe; (2) the proposed damage index was able to indicate an approximate level of damage and the nonlinearity of the lab-scale test structure; (3) displacement estimation using data fusion was valid compared with the reference displacement using the vision-based method.

  • 연성구조물의 일종인 막구조물은 대공간 구조물을 보다 효과적으로 구축할 수 있다. 연성구조물은, 축강성은 강하고 휨강성이 매우 작은 재료를 주 구조재로 사용하므로 초기강성에 매우 약한 구조체이다. 초기강성을 확보하기 위해서는 초기응력의 도입이 필수적이고, 초기강성을 갖기 전에는 불안정현상을 나타내지만, 초기강성의 도입과 함께 안정상태가 된다. 초기 불안정 구조물에 초기강성을 도입함으로써 야기되는 대변형 현상을 파악하기 위해서는 기하학적 비선형을 고려한 형상해석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 해석프로그램인 NASS를 이용하여 해석을 수행한다. 해석모델은 Barrel Vault형 지붕 막구조물을 대상으로 하며, 직교이방성을 고려한 형상해석 및 응력-변형해석을 수행한 후 안정성을 검토한다.

  • 본 논문에서는 내구성과 수명을 획기적으로 향상시키기 위해 제3세대 건설재료인 섬유강화 플라스틱(FRP) 소재로 제작된 사각형 중공 교량 바닥판의 파괴모드를 실험과 해석을 통해 분석하였다. 재하시험 결과 바닥판의 강축방향의 거동은 파괴 직전까지도 거의 선형탄성적으로 거동한 반면, 약축방향의 거동은 재하초기부터 작은 하중하에서도 큰 비선형성을 보였다. 이 약축방향 비선형성의 원인은 웨브와 플랜지 연결부의 불완전한 일체거동으로 인한 소성거동 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 웨브와 플랜지의 연결부에 소성힌지를 도입한 간단한 구조모델을 이용하여 이를 확인하였다. 접착부의 박리 파괴 가능성도 검토하였으나 이는 대상 중공바닥판의 약축방향 파괴에 직접적으로 관여하는 것은 아닌 것으로 판단된다 약축방향의 구조거동을 개선시키기 위한 방안으로 내부를 폼으로 충전하는 방법을 제시하였으며 그 가능성을 구조해석을 통해 확인하였다.

  • 지하구조물의 주위지반은 일반적으로 퇴적층의 형성 또는 지각의 변동에 의해 다층구조를 가지게 되므로, 구조물 및 주위지반의 거동을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 해석에 다층구조의 영향을 반영해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 다층으로 구성된 지하구조계를 대상으로 하여 구조물과 그 주변에는 비선형 유한요소를 사용하고, 비선형성이 상대적으로 미약한 주변 다층지반에는 선형 경계요소를 사용하여 재료의 비선형성과 비균질성을 고려한 효율적인 조합해석방법을 개발하고자 한다. 반무한영역에 설정되는 다층구조계를 경계요소로 해석할 경우 그 기본해가 제한되어 있으므로, 본 연구에서는 기존의 무한기본해를 이용하는 방법을 사용하였다. 무한기본해를 이용하는 내부영역문제의 경우 각각의 균질한 층을 부영역(subdomain)으로 분할하고 계방정식을 구성한 뒤에 접합면에 대하여 평형조건과 적합조건을 만족시켜 주는 방법을 사용하여 비균질성을 고려한다. 부영역으로 층을 분할한 내부영역문제의 경계요소해석 결과는 선형 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하여 검증하였고, 검증된 경계요소 프로그램을 비선형 유한요소 프로그램과 조합하였다. 조합해석 결과, 굴착부 주변의 응력집 중부에는 비선형 유한요소를 사용하고, 비선형의 영향이 미소한 주변의 다층지반에 대해서는 부영역에 의한 선형 경계요소를 사용하는 조합해석방법이 합리적이고 효율적임을 알 수 있었다.

  • 대공간 구조는 형태저항구조로서, 기둥-보로 구성되는 일반적인 건축골조구조가 설계외력에 대해 휨 및 전단으로 저항되는 것에 반해, 구조물의 내부에 기둥이 없는 공간을 내포하는 대공간 구조는 축력 및 면내 단면력에 의해 저항되는 경우가 대부분이다. 이러한 특성상 공간구조에는 일반적으로 장스팬이 사용되는 경우가 많으며, 그 결과 일반적인 골조와는 달리, 부재에 발생하는 변형도가 작은 경우에도 큰 변형이 발생하는, 즉 대변형 혹은 유한변형을 동반하게 된다. 일반적으로 수치해석에 있어 비선형 해석이란 기하학적 비선형 및 재료적 비선형, 또는 이 두 가지를 동시에 고려한 복합 비선형 해석을 들 수가 있다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소법으로 기하학적 비선형을 고려한 비선형 평형방정식을 적용하고, 부재의 응력-변형률 관계를 이용하여 재료적 비선형성도 함께 고려하였다. 사용된 수치해석 기법은 불안정 경로의 해를 찾아갈 수 있는 호장법을 적용하여 하중-변위 곡선을 추적하였다. 또한, 해석 결과는 범용 유한요소 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 비교 검토하였다. 본 연구의 수치 해석결과 제시한 평면 및 공간 트러스의 비탄성 비선형 거동을 정확하고 효율적으로 예측 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

  • To investigate the seismic performance of long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge, a super long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge scheme with main span of 1400m is taken as example, structural response of the bridge under E1 seismic action is investigated numerically by the multimode seismic response spectrum and time-history analysis, seismic behavior and also the effect of structural geometric nonlinearity on the seismic responses of super long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges are revealed. The seismic responses are also compared to those of a fully self-anchored cable-stayed bridge with the same main span. The effects of structural parameters including the earth-anchored girder length, the girder width, the girder depth, the tower height to span ratio, the inclination of earth-anchored cables, the installation of auxiliary piers in the side spans and the connection between tower and girder on the seismic responses of partially ground-anchored cable-stayed bridges are investigated, and their reasonable values are also discussed in combination with static performance and structural stability. The results show that the horizontal seismic excitation produces significant seismic responses of the girder and tower, the seismic responses of the towers are greater than those of the girder, and thus the tower becomes the key structural member of seismic design, and more attentions should be paid to seismic design of these sections including the tower bottom, the tower and girder at the junction of tower and girder, the girder at the auxiliary piers in side spans; structural geometric nonlinearity has significant influence on the seismic responses of the bridge, and thus the nonlinear time history analysis is proposed to predict the seismic responses of super long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges; as compared to the fully self-anchored cable-stayed bridge with the same main span, several stay cables in the side spans are changed to be earth-anchored, structural stiffness and natural frequency are both increased, the seismic responses of the towers and the longitudinal displacement of the girder are significantly reduced, structural seismic performance is improved, and therefore the partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge provides an ideal structural solution for super long-span cable-stayed bridges with kilometer-scale main span; under the case that the ratio of earth-anchored girder length to span is about 0.3, the wider and higher girder is employed, the tower height-to-span ratio is about 0.2, the larger inclination is set for the earth-anchored cables, 1 to 2 auxiliary piers are installed in each of the side spans and the fully floating system is employed, better overall structural performance is achieved for long-span partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges.

  • This paper presents the tangent stiffness method for 3-D geometrically nonlinear folding analysis of a reversal arch. Experimental tests are conducted to verify the numerical analysis. The tangent stiffness method can accurately evaluate the geometrical nonlinearity due to the element translating as a rigid body, and the method can exactly handle the large rotation of the element in space. The arch in the experiment is made from a thin flat bar, and it is found that the folding process of the arch may be captured exactly by the numerical analysis with a model consisting of only 18 elements with the same properties.

  • A reliability analysis method is proposed in this paper through a combination of the advantages of the response surface method (RSM), finite element method (FEM), first order reliability method (FORM) and the importance sampling updating method. The accuracy and efficiency of the method is demonstrated through several numerical examples. Then the method is used to estimate the serviceability reliability of cable-stayed bridges. Effects of geometric nonlinearity, randomness in loading, material, and geometry are considered. The example cable-stayed bridge is the Second Nanjing Bridge with a main span length of 628 m built in China. The results show that the cable sag that is part of the geometric nonlinearities of cable-stayed bridges has a major effect on the reliability of cable-stayed bridge. Finally, the most influential random variables on the reliability of cable-stayed bridges are identified by using a sensitivity analysis.
