Distortional and local buckling are important factors that influences the bearing capacity of steel-concrete composite box-beam. Through theoretical analysis of distortional buckling forms, a stability analysis calculation model of composite box beam considering rotation of steel beam top flange is presented. The critical bending moment calculation formula of distortional buckling is established. In addition, mechanical behaviors of a steel beam web in the negative moment zone subjected separately to bending stress, shear stress and combined stress are investigated. Elastic buckling factors of steel web under different stress conditions are calculated. On the basis of local buckling analysis results, a limiting value for height-to thickness ratio of a steel web in the elastic stage is proposed. Numerical examples are presented to verify the proposed models.

In this study, the characteristics of herringbone grooved air thrust berings are studied. It is shown that a generalized coordinate transformation method which was developed for handling complex geometry such as herring bone groove journal bearings is well applied to herringbone grooved air thrust bearings. The load carrying capacity and stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated according to the design parameters like groove depth or the number of grooves and compared to that of plain air journal bearings.

The existing concrete bridges are time-varying working systems, where the maintenance strategy should be planned according to the time-varying performance of the bridge. This work proposes a time-dependent residual capacity assessment procedure, which considers the non-stationary bridge load effects under growing traffic and non-stationary structural deterioration owing to material degradations. Lifetime bridge load effects under traffic growth are predicated by the non-stationary peaks-over-threshold (POT) method using time-dependent generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) models. The non-stationary structural resistance owing to material degradation is modeled by incorporating the Gamma deterioration process and field inspection data. A three-span continuous box-girder bridge is illustrated as an example to demonstrate the application of the proposed procedure, and the time-varying reliability indexes of the bridge girder are calculated. The accuracy of the proposed non-stationary POT method is verified through numerical examples, where the shape parameter of the time-varying GPD model is constant but the threshold and scale parameters are polynomial functions increasing with time. The case study illustrates that the residual flexural capacities show a degradation trend from a slow decrease to an accelerated decrease under traffic growth and material degradation. The reliability index for the mid-span cross-section reduces from 4.91 to 4.55 after being in service for 100 years, and the value is from 4.96 to 4.75 for the mid-support cross-section. The studied bridge shows no safety risk under traffic growth and structural deterioration owing to its high design safety reserve. However, applying the proposed numerical approach to analyze the degradation of residual bearing capacity for bridge structures with low safety reserves is of great significance for management and maintenance.

본 연구에서는 말뚝기초의 설계 및 시공과 관련하여 국내 103 개소 대형교량건설현장에 대한 실태를 조사 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지반조사 단계에서 지지층에 대한 심도확인과 조사위치 배치기준 적용이 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 설계단계에서는 말뚝시험시공 없이 지지력을 산정하는 경우가 많았으며, 말뚝재하시험 시 재하용량 적용기준이 불명확하여 극한(또는 항복)지지력을 확인할 수 없었다. 재하시험을 수행하더라도 시험결과의 반영이 미흡하여 경제성을 검토하지 않는 등의 문제점이 나타났다. 말뚝기초 설계기준이 현장여건을 제대로 반영하지 못하여 과다설계가 될 경우 경제성을 기할 수 없다. 따라서, 말뚝기초의 지지력과 관련된 기존문헌을 고찰하고, 교량기초 설계 및 시공사례 분석을 통하여 시방서의 일부 내용을 개선하도록 제안하였다.

현장에서의 양방향재하시험은 극한지지력을 판단할 수 있는 하중재하 단계까지의 재하시험이 실시되지 않기 때문에 항복하중 및 극한하중을 정확하게 알 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 그리고 정적압축재하시험과 달리 주면과 선단이 분리되어 하중이 전이되고, 주면부의 하중재하 방향이 반대이기 때문에 실제 말뚝의 거동과 다른 결과를 나타낼 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대구경 현장타설말뚝인 바렛말뚝의 현장 양방향재하시험 결과로부터 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하고, 재산정된 설계정수를 정적압축재하시험의 3차원 유한요소해석에 적용하여 수치해석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과로부터 현장타설말뚝의 실제 거동을 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 먼저, 현장타설말뚝의 현장 양방향재하시험 결과를 이용하여, 상 하향으로의 하중재하에 따른 하중-변위 분석을 실시하였다. 그리고 양방향재하시험을 3차원 유한요소해석을 통해 모사하고 역해석을 실시하여 재산정된 설계정수들을 정적압축재하시험의 3차원 유한요소해석에 적용하였으며, 이 결과로부터 양방향재하시험을 통한 정적압축재하시험의 거동을 분석하였다. 양방향재하시험을 통한 정적압축재하시험의 3차원 유한요소해석 결과를 {정적압축재하시험과 양방향재하시험의 지지력 비(y)} ~ {기준침하량과 말뚝주면장 비(x)}의 관계식으로 나타내었고, 10.0mm, 15.0 mm, 25.4mm일 때의 기준침하량에 따라 각각 구분하여 제안하였다.

현행 기준식에 따르면 초고강도 콘크리트에서는 철근 인장이음길이보다 압축이음길이가 더 길어지는 현상 이 발생된다. 횡보강근의 영향을 반영하면 이러한 경향은 더욱 심화된다. 실제 구조물에서 반드시 존재하는 횡보강근과 철근 지름의 영향을 40, 60 MPa 콘크리트에 대한 압축이음 실험을 통해 강도와 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 지름 22, 29 mm 에 대한 실험 결과 철근 지름의 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 가는 지름의 철근에서는 이음강도의 증진이 기대될 수 있으나, 압축철근에는 주로 큰 지름의 철근이 사용되므로 압축이음에서는 철근 지름의 효과를 고려할 필요가 없을 것 으로 판단된다. 횡보강근이 있는 압축이음강도는 현행 설계기준과 비교할 때 100% 이상 크므로 횡보강근을 고려한 새 로운 설계기준식의 정립이 필요하다. 지압은 이음 단부에 배근된 횡보강근에 의해서만 강도가 향상되며, 이음구간에 배 근된 횡보강근에는 무관하다. 횡보강근량이 많을수록 부착에 의해 발현되는 강도는 거의 선형적으로 증가하며, 이음단 부에만 횡보강근을 배근해도 부착강도가 6% 향상되었다. 횡보강근이 배근된 경우 부착에 의해 발현되는 강도는 인장이 음에 비해 동등하거나 더 낮아지므로, 인장이음에 비해 압축이음의 강도 증진은 단부 지압 효과로만 설명될 수 있다.

This study employs the microshear test method to examine the local mechanical properties of narrow-gap welded joints, revealing the mechanical inhomogeneity by evaluating the microshear strength, stress-strain curves, and failure strain. On this basis, the influence of weld joints micromechanical inhomogeneity on the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) fracture toughness is investigated. From the root weld layer to the cover weld layer, the fracture toughness at the center of the weld seam demonstrates an increasing trend, with the experimental and calculated CTOD values showing a good correspondence. The microproperties of the welded joints significantly impact the load-bearing capacity and fracture toughness. During the deformation process of the "low-matching" microregions, the plastic zone expansion is hindered by the surrounding microregion strength constraints, thus reducing the fracture toughness. In contrast, during the deformation of the "high-matching" microregions, the surrounding microregions absorb some of the loading energy, partially releasing the concentrated stress at the crack tip, which in turn increases the fracture toughness.

Self-compacting Concrete Filled steel Tubes (SCFT), which combines the advantages of steel and concrete materials, can be applied to strengthen the RC columns. In order to investigate the eccentric loading behavior of the strengthened columns, this paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on them. The experimental results showed that the use of SCFT is interesting since the ductility and the bearing capacity of the RC columns are greatly improved. And the performance of strengthened columns is significantly affected by four parameters: column section type (circular and square), wall thickness of the steel tube, designed strength grade of strengthening concrete and initial eccentricity. In the numerical program, a generic fiber element model which takes in account the effect of confinement is developed to predict the behavior of the strengthened columns subjected to eccentric loading. After the fiber element analysis was verified against experimental results, a simple design formula based on the model is proposed to calculate the ultimate eccentric strength. Calibration of the calculated results against the test results shows that the design formula closely estimates the ultimate capacities of the eccentrically compressed strengthened columns by 5%.

In order to study the fatigue performance of the flat steel plate-lightweight aggregate concrete hollow composite bridge slab subjected to fatigue load, both static test on two specimens and fatigue test on six specimens were conducted. The effects of the arrangement of the steel pipes, the amplitude of the fatigue load and the upper limit as well as lower limit of fatigue load on failure performance were investigated. Besides, for specimens in fatigue test, strains of the concrete, residual deflection, bending stiffness, residual bearing capacity and dynamic response were analyzed. Test results showed that the specimens failed in the fracture of the bottom flat steel plate regardless of the arrangement of the steel pipes. Moreover, the fatigue loading cycles of composite slab were mainly controlled by the amplitude of the fatigue load, but the influences of upper limit and lower limit of fatigue load on fatigue life was slight. The fatigue life of the composite bridge slabs can be determined by the fatigue strength of bottom flat steel plate, which can be calculated by the method of allowable stress amplitude in steel structure design code.

The Ministry of Construction and Transportation (MOCT) has been constructing a nationwide soil information DB since 2000, as basic data for the construction of 'underground geographical information,' a project under the 2nd National Geo-spatial Information System (NGIS) master plan. The inputted soil information includes not only underground conditions such as the layer depth, type, color, and groundwater level, but also engineering information that can be applied to construction work design, such as on the standard penetration test and the compression test. It is difficult to use this information in soil analysis and design, however, because only the test results are currently available. A web-based geo-spatial information system was developed in this study to facilitate the effective application of the soil information database (DB). First, the space information, layer information, and engineering test information were loaded from the soil information DB in real time, and the earth volume, bearing capacity, and settlement were calculated to develop a web client that will evaluate the ground softness and liquefaction. It seems that the soil information DB can be actively applied to the planning and design of construction works using this system.
