Nonlinear analysis for seismic performance evaluation of existing building usually takes 4~5 times more than linear analysis based on KBC code. To obtain accurate results from the nonlinear analysis, there are a lot of things to be considered for nonlinear analysis modeling. For example, reinforcing layout, applied load and seismic details affect behavior of structural members for the existing building. Engineer-oriented computerized system was developed for engineers to evaluate effective seismic performance of existing buildings with abiding by seismic design principles. Using the engineer-oriented program, seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete building was performed. Nonlinear hinge properties were applied with real time multiple consideration such as section layout, section analysis result, applied load and performance levels. As a result, the building was evaluated to satisfy LS(Life Safety) performance level. A comparison between engineer-oriented and program-oriented results is presented to show how important the role of structural engineer is for seismic performance evaluation of existing buildings.

I형 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더 교량의 활하중 분배계수식을 개발하기 위한 구조해석 모델은 해석결과의 적정성과 함께 모델링의 용이성도 동시에 가지고 있어야 한다. 그 이유는 활하중 분배계수식의 개발 과정에서 무수히 많은 횟수의 구조해석이 필요하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구와 설계실무에서 사용하고 있는 모델들을 비교하여 적정한 구조해석모델을 선정하였다. 또한 수치해석과 재하시험 결과와의 비교를 통하여 방호벽과 가로보의 휨 강성이 활하중분배에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과로서 I형 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더 교량의 구조해석에는 편심을 반영한 거더, 방호벽 및 가로보를 바닥판에 연결시킨 모델이 해석결과의 정확성과 모델링의 편이성을 동시에 만족시키는 측면에서 적합하였다. 그러나 방호벽은 강성변화에도 불구하고 활하중분배에 미치는 영향이 미소한 것으로 분석되었다. 편심을 고려한 가로보는 휨 강성 25% 이상에서는 강성변화에 따른 영향이 적었다. 따라서 거더는 바닥판과의 편심을 고려하여 강체요소로 연결하고, 방호벽은 무시하고, 가로보는 전 단면이 유효한 것으로 가정한 상태에서 편심을 주지 않는 모델을 I형 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더 교량의 활하중 분배계수식의 개발을 위한 최종 구조해석 모델로서 선정하였다.

While fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) materials have been largely used in the retrofitting of concrete buildings, its application has been limited because of some problems such as de-bonding of FRP layers from the concrete surface. This paper is the part of a wide experimental and analytical investigation about flexural retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) columns using FRP and mechanical fasteners (MF). A new generation of MF is proposed, which is applicable for retrofitting of RC columns. Furthermore, generally, to evaluate a retrofitted structure the nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are the most accurate methods to estimate the performance of a structure. In the nonlinear analysis of a structure, accurate modeling of structural elements is necessary for estimation the reasonable results. So for nonlinear analysis of a structure, modeling parameters for beams, columns, and beam-column joints are essential. According to the concentrated hinge method, which is one of the most popular nonlinear modeling methods, structural members shall be modeled using concentrated or distributed plastic hinge models using modeling parameters. The nonlinear models of members should be capable of representing the inelastic response of the component. On the other hand, in performance based design to make a decision about a structure or design a new one, numerical acceptance should be determined. Modeling parameters and numerical acceptance criteria are different for buildings of different types and for different performance levels. In this paper, a new method was proposed for FRP retrofitted columns to avoid FRP debonding. For this purpose, mechanical fasteners were used to achieve the composite behavior of FRP and concrete columns. The experimental results showed that the use of the new method proposed in this paper increased the flexural strength and lateral load capacity of the columns significantly, and a good composition of FRP and RC column was achieved. Moreover, the modeling parameters and acceptance criteria were presented, which were derived from the experimental study in order to use in nonlinear analysis and performance-based design approach.

This paper presents the effect on the inelastic behavior and structural performance of concrete and filled steel pipe through a numerical method for reliable judgment under various load conditions of the CJS composite structural system. Variable values optimized for the CJS synthetic structural system and the effects of multiple variables used for finite element analysis to present analytical modeling were compared and analyzed with experimental results. The Winfrith concrete model was used as a concrete material model that describes the confinement effect well, and the concrete structure was modeled with solid elements. Through geometric analysis of shell and solid elements, rectangular steel pipe columns and steel elements were modeled as shell elements. In addition, the slip behavior of the joint between the concrete column and the rectangular steel pipe was described using the Surface-to-Surface function. After finite element analysis modeling, simulation was performed for cyclic loading after assuming that the lower part of the foundation was a pin in the same way as in the experiment. The analysis model was verified by comparing the calculated analysis results with the experimental results, focusing on initial stiffness, maximum strength, and energy dissipation capability.

This paper presents structural analyses performed on the white body of vehicle using the most competitive analyzer, Finite Element Method, and attempts to obtain design criteria of body. By applying the substructure and restart technique to structural model, computation time is reduced. The synthetic processing from modelling to graphic visualization is accomplished by several subprograms, viz., various pre-post processors. On the basis of home-made vehicle modeling, typical cases of accident and service load is analyzed and discussed. The results obtained will guide the designer to design the structure optimally.

Although concrete pavements were successfully widespread throughout the nation due to the desirable surface characteristics, durability, and economy, it still causes several transverse cracking and joint failure problems in some areas. In this paper, the major emphasis was given to provide a rational analytical approach on joint failure mechanisms, considering several sets of joint stiffnesses on different subgrade moduli. Besides , load transfer mechanisms on concrete pavement joints were highlighted with finite element method and computer modeling.

This study presents a methodology for the system reliability analysis of cracked structures with random material properties, which are modeled as random fields, and crack geometry under random static loads. The finite element method provides the computational framework to obtain the stress intensity solutions, and the first-order reliability method provides the basis for modeling and analysis of uncertainties. The ultimate structural system reliability is effectively evaluated by the stable configuration approach. Numerical examples are given for the case of random fracture toughness and load.

This paper is concerned with steel-concrete composite plate girders curved in plan. At the design stage these girders are assumed sometimes to act independent of the deck slabs resting on them in order to simplify the analysis. The advantage of composite action between the steel girders and concrete deck is not utilized. Finite element modeling of such composite action in plate girders is considered in this paper. Details of the finite element modeling and the non-linear analysis of the girders are presented along with the results obtained. Tension field action in the web panels similar to those observed in the straight plate girders is also noticed in these girders. Finite element and experimental results in respect of curved steel plate girders and straight composite plate girders tested by other researchers are presented first to assess the accuracy of the modeling. Effects of parameters such as curvature, steel flange width and web panel width that affect the behavior of composite girders are then considered in the analyses. An approximate method to predict the ultimate strength of horizontally curved composite plate girders is also presented.

석션 케이슨은 설치 수심제한이 적고, 비교적 단순한 설치공정과 빠른 시공이 가능하기 때문에 해양 구조물용 앵커 및 기초형식으로 활용되고 있으며 그 적용이 점차 확대되고 있다. 석션 케이슨 기초의 설계는 지반의 지지력 및 안정성 검토가 중심이 되며, 관련 설계기준에서 해석 방법을 제시하고 있다. 반면, 케이슨의 구조적 안전성 분석은 방법이 정형화되지 않았으며 특히 케이슨에 작용하는 하중 모델링에 대한 명확한 산정 방법이 정립되지 않아 석션 케이슨 단면 설계에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 이론 및 수치적 침투해석을 통해 석션압에 의해 발생되는 케이슨 내외부의 간극수압 크기 및 분포를 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 구조해석에 적용할 수 있는 합리적인 하중 평가 방법을 제시하였다. 추가적으로 관입깊이, 투수계수의 이방성, 석션압 변화가 내외벽에 작용하는 간극수압에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.
