A nonlinear finite element method is presented to evaluate the torsional buckling moment and failure of composite laminated cylinders. For the progressive failure analysis, the complete unloading method is used based on the maximum stress failure criteria. An arc-length method is incorporated to trace the postbuckling equilibrium path. Present finite element method is verified by the existing experimental and analytical results. The results of the parametric study show that the torsional buckling moments are sensitive to the geometric change, but are not much affected by the lay-up angle. All cylinders tested numerically show the unstable torsional buckling, and therefore the torsional buckling always leads to the catastrophic failure.

콘크리트의 압축파괴에 의한 취성적인 비틀림파괴와 사인장균열의 폭을 제한하기 위하여 콘크리트구조기준은 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도를 제한하고 있다. 2012년에 콘크리트구조기준에서는 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도를 400 MPa에서 500 MPa로 상향하였다. 그 이유는 500 MPa의 비틀림보강철근을 사용한 비틀림부재의 경우에도 전단파괴하는 부재와 유사하게 기준에서 요구하는 비틀림파괴모드, 사용성, 경제성을 만족시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단하였기 때문이다. 그러나 현재 고강도 비틀림보강철근을 사용한 비틀림부재에 대한 연구는 전단부재에 대한 연구에 비하여 부족한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 340 MPa, 480 MPa, 667 MPa의 비틀림보강철근을 사용한 철근콘크리트 보의 비틀림거동을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험에 의하면 비틀림보강철근의 파괴모드는 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도와 콘크리트의 압축강도에 의하여 영향을 받았다. 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도가 400 MPa이하인 경우에는 콘크리트의 압축강도와 무관하게 한 곳 이상에서 비틀림보강철근이 항복강도에 도달하여 비틀림인장파괴하였지만, 항복강도가 480 MPa 이상인 경우에는 비틀림보강철근이 항복하지 않는 경우가 발생하여 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The adhesively bonded tubular single lap joint shows a nonlinear relationship between the applied torque and the resulting displacement under the static-torsional loading, which is induced from the nonlinear properties of the adhesive. However the torque transmission capability in the case of the dynamic-torsional loading is much less than that in the case of the static-torsional loading, the stress level of the adhesive is usually in the region of the linear stress and strain relation and the stress distributions of the joint can be obtained by the linear analysis. In this paper, a failure model for the adhesively bonded tubular single lap joint under the torsional fatigue loading was developed with respect to the adhesive thickness that was a critical factor in predicting the static torque transional-cyclic loadings was proposed.

이 논문에서는 순수비틀림을 받는 철근콘크리트 보의 비틀림 성능에 관한 해석적 실험적 연구 결과를 나타내었다. 주요 실험변수는 비틀림 보강근의 양과 비틀림 각도 즉, 종방향 비틀림 보강근에 대한 횡방향 비틀림 보강근의 비이다. 실험에 의하면 ACI 318-05 기준식은 최대 비틀림 보강근의 양을 약 2배 과소평가하였다. 비틀림 보강근이 항복한 후에 파괴하는 102개 철근콘크리트 보의 실험 결과와 비교한 결과, ACI 318-05 기준식은 파괴모드가 변화하는 구간에서 비틀림 파괴모드를 정확하게 예측하지 못하였다. 또한, ACI 318-05 비틀림 기준식은 비틀림 보강근량이 상대적으로 많이 보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 경우 비틀림 강도를 과대평가하는 반면, 비틀림 보강근량이 작은 경우에는 실제 비틀림모멘트를 과소평가하였다. 실험 결과와 ACI 318-05 기준식 사이의 이러한 불일치는 기준식에서 비틀림 보강근의 인장증강효과와 콘크리트의 비틀림 강도에 대한 기여를 무시하고 있기 때문으로 판단된다.

Beam-columns are structural members subjected to a combination of axial and bending forces. Lateral-torsional buckling is one of the main failure modes. Beam-columns that are bent about its strong axis may buckle out of the plane by deflecting laterally and twisting as the values of the applied loads reach a limiting state. Lateral-torsional buckling failure occurs suddenly in beam-column elements with a much greater in-plane bending stiffness than torsional or lateral bending stiffness. This study intends to establish a unique convenient closed-form equation that it can be used for calculating critical elastic lateral-torsional buckling load of beam-column in the presence of a known axial load. The presented equation includes first order bending distribution, the position of the loads acting transversely on the beam-column and mono-symmetry property of the section. Effects of axial loads, slenderness and load positions on lateral torsional buckling behavior of beam-columns are investigated. The proposed solutions are compared to finite element simulations where thin-walled shell elements including warping are used. Good agreement between the analytical and the numerical solutions is demonstrated. It is found out that the lateral-torsional buckling load of beam-columns with mono-symmetric sections can be determined by the presented equation and can be safely used in design procedures.

Some elevated water tanks have failed due to torsional vibrations in past earthquakes. The overall axisymmetric structural geometry and mass distribution of such structures may leave only a small accidental eccentricity between centre of stiffness and centre of mass. Such a small accidental eccentricity is not expected to cause a torsional failure. This paper studies the possibility of amplified torsional behaviour of elevated water tanks due to such small accidental eccentricity in the elastic as well as inelastic range; using two simple idealized systems with two coupled lateral-torsional degrees of freedom. The systems are capable of retaining the characteristics of two extreme categories of water tanks namely, a) tanks on staging with less number of columns and panels and b) tanks on staging with large number of columns and panels. The study shows that the presence of a small eccentricity may lead to large displacement of the staging edge in the elastic range, if the torsional-to-lateral time period ratio $({\tau})$ of the elevated tanks lies within a critical range of 0.7< ${\tau}$ <1.25. Inelastic behaviour study reveals that such excessive displacement in some of the reinforced concrete staging elements may cause unsymmetric yielding. This may lead to progressive strength deterioration through successive yielding in same elements under cyclic loading during earthquakes. Such localized strength drop progressively develop large strength eccentricity resulting in large localized inelastic displacement and ductility demand, leading to failure. So, elevated water tanks should have ${\tau}$ outside the said critical range to avoid amplified torsional response. The tanks supported on staging with less number of columns and panels are found to have greater torsional vulnerability. Tanks located near faults seem to have torsional vulnerability for large ${\tau}$.

The failure of flat plate connection is successive failure process accompanying with stress redistribution, hence it is necessary to compute the contributions of each resistance components at ultimate state. In the present study, the interactions of resultant forces at each faces of connection, i.e. shear, bending moment and torsional moment are considered in the assessment of strength of slab. As a result the strength prediction model for connection is made up as combination of bending resistance, shear resistance and torsional resistance. The proposed method is verified by the experimental data and numerical data of continuous slabs.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the behaviour of 56 reinforced concrete beams subjected to pure torsion. The reported results include the behaviour curves, the failure modes and the values of the pre-cracking torsional stiffness, the cracking and ultimate torsional moments and the corresponding twists. The influence of the volume of stirrups, the height to width ratios and the arrangement of longitudinal bars on the torsional behaviour is discussed. In order to describe the entire torsional behaviour of the tested beams, the combination of two different analytical models is used. The prediction of the elastic till the first cracking part is achieved using a smeared crack analysis for plain concrete in torsion, whereas for the description of the post-cracking response the softened truss model is used. A simple modification to the softened truss model to include the effect of confinement is also attempted. Calculated torsional behaviour of the tested beams and 21 beams available in the literature are compared with the experimental ones and a very good agreement is observed.

A systematic reliability evaluation approach for torsional divergence analysis of long span suspension bridges is proposed, consisting of the first order reliability method and a simplified torsional divergence analysis method. The proposed method was implemented in the deterministic torsional divergence analysis program SIMTDB through a new strategy involving interfacing the proposed method with SIMTDB via a freely available MATLAB software tool (FERUM). A numerical example involving a detailed computational model of a long span suspension bridge with a main span of 888 m is presented to demonstrate the applicability and merits of the proposed method and the associated software strategy. Finally, the most influential random variables on the reliability of long span suspension bridges against torsional divergence failure are identified by a sensitivity analysis.

The application of radial basis function neural networks (RBFN) to predict the ultimate torsional strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is explored in this study. A database on torsional failure of RC beams with rectangular section subjected to pure torsion was retrieved from past experiments in the literature; several RBFN models are sequentially built, trained and tested. Then the ultimate torsional strength of each beam is determined from the developed RBFN models. In addition, the predictions of the RBFN models are also compared with those obtained using the ACI 318 Code equations. The study shows that the RBFN models give reasonable predictions of the ultimate torsional strength of RC beams. Moreover, the results also show that the RBFN models provide better accuracy than the existing ACI 318 equations for torsion, both in terms of root-mean-square error and coefficients of determination.
