본 논문에서는 사질토 지반에 시공되는 고강도 지오그리드 보강 쇄석말뚝(Geosynthetic-Reinforced Stone Column, GRSC)의 다양한 영향인자 검토를 통한 지지력 거동특성을 다루었다. 본 연구는 GRSC의 국내 적용을 위한 사전연구로서 대형 구조물의 기초지지 말뚝으로 적용시를 대상으로 2차원 유한요소 해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소해석 결과 GRSC와 쇄석말뚝(Stone Column, SC)의 비교를 통해 지오그리드 보강이 지지력 증가에 현저히 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지반강도와 쇄석기둥 직경, 지오그리드 강성에 대해 지지력은 증가하는 것으로 나타난 반면, 감쌈길이에 대해서는 3D(D=쇄석기둥 직경)이상의 감쌈에 대해 지지력이 수렴하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GRSC 적용시 효율적인 지오그리드 보강의 최적조건을 제안하였다.

Axially loaded reinforced concrete columns are hardly exist in practice due to the development of some bending moments. These moments could be produced by gravity loads or the lateral loads. First, the current paper presents a detailed analysis on the overall structural behavior of 15 eccentrically loaded columns as well as one concentrically loaded control one. Columns bent in either single curvature or double curvature modes are tested experimentally up to failure under the effect of different end eccentricities combinations. Three end eccentricities ratio were studied, namely, 0.1b, 0.3b and 0.5b, where b is the column width. Second, an expression correlated the decay in the normalized axial capacity of the column and the acting end eccentricities was developed based on the experimental results and then verified against the available formula. Third, based on the equivalent column concept, the equivalent pin-ended columns were obtained for columns bent in either single or double curvature modes. And then, the effect of end eccentricity ratio was correlated to the equivalent column length. Finally, a simplified design procedure was proposed for eccentrically loaded braced column by transferring it to an equivalent axially loaded pin-ended slender column. The results of the proposed design procedure showed comparable results against the results of the ACI 318-14 code.

In the present study, design methodologies for effective width of slabs in slab-column connections were evaluated in comparison with the experimental results on the full-scale slab-column connections. The design methodologies are as follows: the methodology proposed by Jacob S. Grossman and the methodology proposed by Choi & Song. The former does not predict the stiffness change of the slab-column connection due to the change in the column section shape and the latter overestimates the stiffness when edge length of the column section in the loading direction is long. Accordingly, the equation to calculate the effective width of slabs should be modified to reflect the effect of the change in the column section shape.

The analysis and design of skeletal structures is greatly influenced by the behaviour of beam-to-column connections, where patented designs have led to a wide range of types with differing structural quantities. The behaviour of beam-to-column connections plays an important role in the analysis and design of framed structures. This paper presents an overview of the influence of connection behaviour on structural stability, in the in-plane (bending) mode of sway. A computer-based method is presented for geometrically nonlinear plane frames with semi-rigid connections accounting for shear deformations. The analytical procedure employs transcendental modified stability functions to model the effect of axial force on the stiffness of members. The member stiffness matrix were found. The critical load has been searched as a suitable load parameter for the loss of stability of the system. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the analysis procedure. The method is readily implemented on a computer using matrix structural analysis techniques and is applicable for the efficient nonlinear analysis of frameworks. Combined with a parametric column effective length study, connection and frame stiffness are used to propose a method for the analysis of semi-rigid frames where column effective lengths are greatly reduced and second order (deflection induced) bending moments in the column may be distributed via the connectors to the beams, leading to significant economies.

This paper experimentally studies the cyclic behavior of hybrid connections between steel coupling beams and concrete shear walls with embedded steel columns. Four beam-to-wall connection specimens with short and long embedded steel columns are tested under monotonic and cyclic loads, respectively. The influence of embedment length of columns on the failure mode and performance of connections is investigated. The results show that the length of embedded steel columns has significant effect on the failure mode of connections. A connection with a long embedded column has a better stiffness, load-bearing capacity and ductility than that of a short embedded column. The former fails due to the shear yielding of column web in the joint panel, while failure of the latter is initiated by the yielding of horizontal reinforcement in the wall due to the rigid rotation of the column. It is recommended that embedded steel columns should be placed along the entire height of shear walls to facilitate construction and enhance the ductility.

Buckling Restrained Braced (BRB) frames have been widely used as an efficient seismic load resisting system in recent years mostly due to their symmetric and stable hysteretic behavior and significant energy dissipation capacity. In this study, to provide a better understanding of the behavior of BRB frames with various beam-column connections, a numerical study using non-linear finite element (FE) analysis is conducted. All models are implemented in the Abaqus software package following an explicit formulation. Initially, the results of the FE model are verified with experimental data. Then, diverse beam-column connections are modeled for the sake of comparison from the shear capacity, energy dissipation and frame hysteresis behavior points of view until appropriate performance is assessed. The considered connections are divided into three different categories: (1) simple beam-column connections including connection by web angle and connection by seat angle; (2) semi-rigid connection including connection by web and seat angles; and (3) rigid beam-column connections by upper-lower beam plates and beam connections with web and flange splices. Results of the non-linear FE analyses show that these types of beam-column connections have little effect on the maximum story drift and shear capacity of BRB frames. However, the connection type has a significant effect on the amount of energy dissipation and hysteresis behavior of BRB frames. Also, changes in length and thickness of the angles in simple and semi-rigid connections and changes in length and thickness of plates in rigid connections have slight effects (less than 4%) on the overall frame behavior.

In this paper, the effect of a group of sand columns in the loose soil bed using triaxial tests was studied. To investigate the effect of geotextile reinforcement type on the bearing capacity of these sand columns, Vertical encased sand columns (VESCs) and horizontally reinforced sand columns (HRSCs) were used. Number of sixteen independent triaxial tests and finite element simulation were performed on specimens with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 200 mm. Specimens were reinforced by either a single sand column or three sand columns with the same area replacement ratio (16%) to evaluate the Influence of the column arrangement. Effect the number of sand columns, the length of vertical encasement and the number of horizontal reinforcing layers were investigated, in terms of bearing capacity improvement and economy. The results indicated that the ultimate bearing capacity of the samples with three ordinary sand columns (OSCs) is eventually about 11% more than samples with an OSC. Also, comparison of the column reinforcing modes showed that four horizontal layers of geotextile achieved similar performance to a vertical encasement geotextile at the 50% of the column height, from the viewpoint of strength improvement, while from the viewpoint of economy, the geotextile needed for encasing the single column is around 2.5 times of the geotextile required for four layers.

Recently new rehabilitation techniques have been proposed with advanced composite materials like carbon fiber, aramid, glass fiber sheet and so forth. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mechanical characteristics of reinforced concrete columns confined with carbon fiber sheet and evaluate the degree of their strengthening effect. For the test, the specimen size of column is 15cm$\times$15cm$\times$90cm reinforced with 4 number of main bars of 10 mm diameter, tied bars of 6 mm diameter and slenderness ratio 20. Columns were wrapped with carbon fiber sheet along the column length. It is necessary to make some assumption regarding the confinement of carbon fiber sheet to apply to reinforced concrete columns under concentric loads. The strength gain effect of columns confined with carbon fiber sheet could be predicted using the proposed equation.

아음속 공기유동으로 수직분사하는 액체제트에 대하여 오리피스 형상이 달라질 경우, 분무특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 실험적으로 연구하였다. 서로 다른 오리피스 길이 대 직경비와 타원형 노즐의 종횡비를 갖는 분사기들을 제작하여 수직분사 실험을 진행하였다. 원형노즐과 타원형 노즐에서의 분열길이를 비교하였으며, 타원형 노즐에서의 분열길이는 모든 실험조건에서 원형노즐에 비해 줄어들었다. 캐비테이션과 수력튀김 현상이 분사기 내부에 발달되는 분무차압 조건의 경우, 두 노즐 모두 분열길이가 감소하였다. 액주궤적의 경우, 장축으로부터 분무되는 액체제트가 횡방향 공기유동에 수직으로 부딪혀 나가는 경우가 액주의 궤적이 단축에 비해 더 휘어지며, 침투높이가 낮아진다.

쇄석말뚝-매트로 구성된 기초시스템은 지지력이 여러 인자에 의해 영향을 받게 되어 기초지반과 말뚝체의 상호작용을 정량적으로 평가하기에 어려움이 있다. 복합지반의 지지력은 말뚝-흙 경계면의 측방응력에 의해 발생되므로 쇄석말뚝의 거동을 규명하기 위해서는 경계면에서 발생하는 수평저항력에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 또한, 말뚝간격과 근입비, 파괴각 등 기하학적 요인들도 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 쇄석말뚝-매트로 구성된 기초시스템의 선단지지 단일말뚝과 군말뚝에 대한 실내모형실험을 통하여 쇄석말뚝의 한계깊이를 측정하고 파괴각에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 평가하였다. 또한, 실내실험결과를 이론식과 비교하였으며 유한요소해석을 통해 파괴거동을 평가하여 실내모형실험의 타당성을 검증하였다.
