Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is a composite building material with high ductility, fatigue resistance, fracture toughness, durability, and energy absorption capacity. The aim of this study is to develop a nonlinear finite element model that can simulate the response of the UHPFRC beam exposed to impact loads. A nonlinear finite element model was developed in ABAQUS to simulate the real response of UHPFRC beams. The numerical results showed that the model was highly successful to capture the experimental results of selected beams from the literature. A parametric study was carried out to investigate the effects of reinforcement ratio and impact velocity on the response of the UHPFRC beam in terms of midpoint displacement, impact load value, and residual load-carrying capacity. In the parametric study, the nonlinear analysis was performed in two steps for 12 different finite element models. In the first step, dynamic analysis was performed to monitor the response of the UHPFRC beam under impact loads. In the second step, static analysis was conducted to determine the residual load-carrying capacity of the beams. The parametric study has shown that the reinforcement ratio and the impact velocity affect maximum and residual displacement value substantially.

Wind effects are critical considerations in the design of topside structures, overall structural systems, or both, depending on the water depth and type of offshore platform. The reliable design of these facilities for oil fields in regions of hostile environment can only be assured through better understanding of the environmental load effects and enhanced response prediction capabilities. This paper summarizes the analysis and performance of offshore platforms under extreme wind loads, including the quantification of wind load effects with focus on wind field characteristics, steady and unsteady loads, gust loading factors, application of wind tunnel tests, and the provisions of the American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 2A - Working Stress Design (API RP 2A-WSD) for the construction of offshore structures under the action of wind. A survey of the performance of platforms and satellite structures is provided, and failure mechanisms concerning different damage scenarios during Hurricane Andrew are examined. Guidelines and provisions for improving analysis and design of structures are addressed.

3D printer-based self-healing capsules have been proposed to heal cracks by enabling various structural designs, repeatable fabrication, and strength analysis of the capsules. The Fusion Deposition Modeling (FDM) method was used to design, analyze, and produce new self-healing capsules that are widely used at low cost. However, PLA extruded from FDM has low interlayer adhesion energy, and thus strength varies depending on the angle of load applied to the laminated layer and the concrete structure, thereby degrading the performance of the self-healing capsule. Therefore, in this paper, the structure of the capsule manufactured by the FDM PLA method has isotropic strength was designed. In addition, the fracture strength in the x, y, and z directions of the load applied through the compression test was analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that the newly proposed capsule design has an isotropic fracture strength of 1400% in all directions compared to the existing spherical thin-film capsule.

초고층 건물의 연쇄붕괴는 큰 피해를 발생시키므로 초고층 건물의 설계 단계에서 반드시 고려해야할 사항이다. 유한요소법을 이용한 초고층 건물의 연쇄붕괴 해석은 해석 시간이 지나치게 많이 소요되어 사실상 불가능하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 유한 요소법의 대안으로 응용 요소법을 이용한 연쇄붕괴 해석의 유용성을 살펴보았다. 초고층 건물의 연쇄붕괴 해석을 위하여 규모 축소 모델링 방안을 제안하였다. 제안한 규모 축소 모델링 방안은 폭파하중의 직접적인 피해를 받는 부분만 해석모델에 포함하고 제외되는 나머지 부분의 질량과 전달하중 그리고 강성은 하나의 층에 집중시키는 방법이다. 20층 고층 철근콘크리트 건물에 대한 전체 모델과 축소된 모델을 세 가지 연쇄붕괴 시나리오에 대하여 연쇄붕괴 해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 축소 모델은 전체 모델과 유사한 연쇄붕괴 양상을 보여 주지만 소요된 시간은 전체 모델의 약30%로 줄일 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안된 연쇄붕괴 해석 방안은 비정상 하중에 의한 초고층 건물의 연쇄붕괴 해석에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

In recent years, high-strength, light-weight materials have been widely used in the construction of high-rise buildings. Such structures generally have flexible, low-damping characteristics. Consequently, wind-induced oscillation greatly affects the structural safety and the comfort of the building's occupants. In this research, wind tunnel experiments were carried out to study the wind-induced vibration of a building with a tuned liquid column damper (TLCD). Then, a model for predicting the aerodynamic response in the across-wind direction was generated. Finally, a computing procedure was developed for the analytical modeling of the structural oscillation in a building with a TLCD under the wind load. The model agrees substantially with the experimental results. Therefore, it may be used to accurately calculate the structural response. Results from this investigation show that the TLCD is more advantageous for reducing the across-wind vibration than the along-wind oscillation. When the across-wind aerodynamic effects are considered, the TLCD more effectively controls the aerodynamic response. Moreover, it is also more useful in suppressing the acceleration than the displacement in biaxial directions. As s result, TLCDs are effective devices for reducing the wind-induced vibration in buildings. Parametric studies have also been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the TLCD in suppressing the structural oscillation. This study may help engineers to more correctly predict the aerodynamic response of high-rise buildings as well as select the most appropriate TLCDs for reducing the structural vibration under the wind load. It may also improve the understanding of wind-structure interactions and wind resistant designs for high-rise buildings.

This study evaluates the structural safety of wind turbine blades, analyzes the behavior of composite laminate structures with and without defects, and assesses surface erosion wear. The NREL 5 MW standard is applied to assign accurate composite material properties to each blade section. Modeling and analysis of the wind turbine blades reveal stable behavior under individual load conditions (gravity, motor speed, wind speed), with the web bearing most of the load. Surface erosion wear analysis in which microparticle impacts are simulated on the blade coating shows a maximum stress and maximum displacement of 14 MPa and 0.02 mm, respectively, indicating good initial durability, but suggest potential long-term performance issues due to cumulative effects. The study examines defect effects on composite laminate structures to compare the stress distribution, strain, and stiffness characteristics between normal and cracked states. Although normal conditions exhibit stable behavior, crack defects lead to fiber breakage, high-stress concentration in the vulnerable resin layer, and decreased rigidity. This demonstrates that local defects can compromise the safety of the entire structure. The study utilizes finite element analysis to simulate various load scenarios and defect conditions. Results show that even minor defects can significantly alter stress distributions and potentially lead to catastrophic failure if left unaddressed. These findings provide valuable insights for wind turbine blade safety evaluations, surface protection strategies, and composite structure health management. The methodology and results can inform the design improvements, maintenance strategies, and defect detection techniques of the wind energy industry.

The widening project on Freeway No.1 in Taiwan has a total length of roughly 14 kilometers, and includes three special bridges, namely a 216 m long-span bridge crossing the original freeway, an F-bent double decked bridge in a co-constructed section, and a steel and prestressed concrete composite bridge. This study employed in-situ monitoring in conjunction with numerical modeling to establish a real-time monitoring system for the three bridges. In order to determine the initial static and dynamic behavior of the real bridges, forced vibration experiments, in-situ static load experiments, and dynamic load experiments were first carried out on the newly-constructed bridges before they went into use. Structural models of the bridges were then established using the finite element method, and in-situ vehicle load weight, arrangement, and speed were taken into consideration when performing comparisons employing data obtained from experimental measurements. The results showed consistency between the analytical simulations and experimental data. After determining a bridge's initial state, the proposed in-situ monitoring system, which is employed in conjunction with the established finite element model, can be utilized to assess the safety of a bridge's members, providing useful reference information to bridge management agencies.

본 논문에서는 KBC(Korean Building Code)와 IBC(International Building Code)의 풍하중 기준의 비교 분석을 통하여, BIM 프로세스 기반의 구조해석 및 설계 프로그램에서 풍하중 산정 시 국내 건축구조설계기준(KBC)을 적용하기 위한 방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 현재 BIM 기반 구조해석 및 설계 프로그램 중에는 한국구조설계기준(KBC)에 부합하는 풍하중 산정이 가능한 프로그램이 존재하지 않는다. 구조설계 기준에서 특히 풍하중 산정 방법은 기준 및 지역에 따른 산정 방법에 차이가 있기 때문에, 구조설계의 안전성을 높이고 한국 실정에 맞는 건축물의 설계를 위해서 KBC 기준의 적용이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 IBC와 KBC 내의 풍하중 산정 방법의 차이점을 비교 분석하고, 실제 사례연구를 통하여 풍하중 산정의 차이를 확인한다. KBC 기준 풍하중 산정 결과를 구조해석 및 설계 프로그램에 적용하기 위한 방법으로써 외부 프로그램을 활용하며 외부 프로그램에서 산정한 풍하중을 다시 구조해석 및 설계 프로그램 상에 입력하여 구조해석을 수행함으로써 KBC 기준 풍하중의 적용을 통한 한국형 BIM 구조해석 및 설계의 방안을 제시한다.
