The use of the epoxy pressure injection technique to rehabilitate reinforced concrete beam-column joints damaged by strong earthquakes is investigated experimentally and analytically. Two one-half-scale exterior beam-column joint specimens were exposed to reverse cyclic loading similar to that generated from strong earthquake ground motion, resulting in damage. Both specimens were typical of new structures and incorporated full seismic details in current building codes. Thus the first specimen was designed according to Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 8 and the second specimen was designed according to ACI-318 (1995) and ACI-ASCE Committee 352 (1985). The specimens were then repaired with an epoxy pressure injection technique. The repaired specimens were subjected to the same displacement history as that imposed on the original specimens. The results indicate that the epoxy pressure injection technique was effective in restoring the strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of specimens representing a modem design.

Sandwich elements have high flexural rigidity and high strength per density. They also have excellent anti-vibration and anti-noise characteristics. Therefore, they are used for structures of airplanes and high speed ships that must be light, as well as strong. In this paper, the Reissner-Mindlin's plate theory is studied from a Hamilton's principle point of view. This theory is modified to include the influence of shear deformation and rotary inertia, and the equation of motion is derived using energy relationships. The theory is applied to a rectangular sandwich model which has isotropic, asymmetrical faces and an isotropic core. Investigations are conducted for five different plate thicknesses. These plates are identical to the sandwich plates currently used in various structural elements of surface effect ships (SES). The boundary conditions are set to simple supports and fixed supports. The elastic and shear moduli are obtained from the four-point bending tests on the sandwich beams.

The use of local two-sided and three-sided jacketing for the repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete beam-column joints damaged by severe earthquakes is investigated experimentally and analytically. Two exterior beam-column joint specimens ($O_1$ and $O_2$) were submitted to a series of cyclic lateral loads to simulate severe earthquake damage. The specimens were typical of existing older structures built in the 1960s and 1970s. The specimens were then repaired and strengthened by local two-sided or three-sided jacketing according to UNIDO Manual guidelines. The strengthened specimens ($RO_1$ and $RO_2$) were then subjected to the same displacement history as that imposed on the original specimens. The repaired and strengthened specimens exhibited significantly higher strength, stiffness and better energy dissipation capacity than the original specimens.

Because of resonance between natural frequency of the second floor base for IPB(Isolated Phase Bus) duct supports in a power plant and operation frequency of the turbine, there was high amplitude vibration on IPB duct. To reduce vibration of IPB duct, Firstly it was set a FEM model to seek the mode shape for the concrete structure. Secondly, it was carried out dynamic analysis for the FEM model. Lastly, because the natural frequency of the concrete structure could not be changed, it was changed supports position for the IPB duct near to beams. It resulted in reducing vibration of IPB duct.

The shear behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams with web opennings has been scrutinized experimentally to verify the influences of the structural parameters such as size, shape, location and reinfrocements of web openings, and shear span ratio. A total of 22 specimens has been tested under one or two point loading conditions at the laboratory. In the tests most specimens have shown shear failures with inclined cracks from the loacing points to the supports through openings. The ultimate strengths of the specimens measured from the tests have shown wide differences depending on the locations of the openings which deter the formation of the compression struts between the loading points and the supports. The effects of the reinforcements and the geomtry of the openings on the shear strengths and the crack developments have been carefully checked and analyzed.

The article reports data on, and numerical modelling of, beams exhibiting points of inflection and subjected to sequential loading. Both tests and analysis point to inadequacies in current codes of practice. An alternative design methodology, which is strongly associated with the notion that contraflexure points should be designed as "internal supports", is shown to produce superior performance even though it requires significantly less secondary reinforcement than that advocated by codes.

연속경간을 가지는 I형강 교량은 내부 지점근처에서 상대적으로 큰 부모멘트가 발생하게 되는데, 이에 경제적인 단면 활용을 위하여 내부 지점부위의 상부 및 하부플랜지에 플레이트를 보강한 변단면을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 탄성 횡-비틀림 좌굴식에 관한 연구를 토대로 하여 비탄성 구간에 있는 계단식 I형보의 횡-비틀림 좌굴강도를 범용구조해석프로그램 ABAQUS(2006)를 이용하여 산정하고, 간편한 설계식을 제안하고 있다. 유한요소해석에는 4절점 쉘요소인 S4R이 사용되었고, 국내외에서 많이 사용되는 I형강 단면(${W36{\times}160}$)을 대상으로 하였다. 양단 및 한쪽 끝단에 계단식 단면을 가지는 보에 대해서 고려하였으며, 플랜지 길이방향 비, 너비방향 비, 두께의 비로 계단식 I형보를 나타내었다. 해석에 사용된 매개변수는 각각 27가지 및 36가지 조합이고, 하중조건으로 보의 순수굽힘이 발생하는 균일모멘트를 적용시켰으며, 비탄성 구간범위 내에 있는 비지지 길이에 대하여 구조해석을 수행하였다. 비탄성 횡-비틀림 거동을 보기 위하여 잔류응력 및 초기결함을 고려한 비선형해석을 실시하였는데, Pi(1995)등이 고려한 잔류응력의 형상과 국내 I형강 표준 치수 허용치에 근거하여 부재 길이의 0.1%를 초기제작오차로 고려하였다. 본 연구 결과는 다양한 형식의 I형보가 사용되는 빌딩 및 교량의 경제적이고 합리적인 설계의 근간을 제공해 줄 것이며, 향후 다양한 하중 조건을 가지는 양단 또는 일단 계단식 단면 변화보의 비탄성 횡-비틀림 좌굴강도를 계산할 수 있는 설계식 개발에 적극 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

Due to thermal expansion, the structural behaviour of beams in steel structures subjected to temperature increase will be affected. This may result in the failure of the structural members or connection due to extra internal force in the beam induced by the thermal increase. A method to release some of the thermally generated internal force in the members is to allow for some movements at the end supports of the member. This can be achieved by making the plane of the end-plate of the connection slanted instead of vertical as in conventional design. The present paper discusses the mechanical behaviour of beams with bolted slant end-plate connection under symmetrical gravity loads, subjected to temperature increase. Analyses have been carried out to investigate the reduction in internal force with various angles of slanting, friction factor at the surface of the connection, and allowable temperature increase in the beam. The main conclusion is that higher thermal increase is tolerable when slanting connection is used, which means the risk of failure of structures can be reduced.

Many vibration-based global damage detection methods attempt to extract modal parameters from vibration signals as the main structural features to detect damage. The local flexibility method is one promising method that requires only the first few fundamental modes to detect not only the location but also the extent of damage. Generally, the mode shapes in the lateral degree of freedom are extracted from lateral vibration signals and then used to detect damage for a beam structure. In this study, a new approach which employs the mode shapes in the rotary degree of freedom obtained from the macro-strain vibration signals to detect damage of a beam structure is proposed. In order to facilitate the application of mode shapes in the rotary degree of freedom for beam structures, the local flexibility method is modified and utilized. The proposed rotary approach is verified by numerical and experimental studies of simply supported beams. The results illustrate potential feasibility of the proposed new idea. Compared to the method that uses lateral measurements, the proposed rotary approach seems more robust to noise in the numerical cases considered. The sensor configuration could also be more flexible and customized for a beam structure. Primarily, the proposed approach seems more sensitive to damage when the damage is close to the supports of simply supported beams.
