The effect of nearby cohesionless sloping ground on the uplift capacity of horizontal strip plate anchor embedded in sand deposit with horizontal ground surface has been studied numerically. The numerical analysis has been carried out by using the lower bound theorem of limit analysis with finite elements and linear optimization. The results have been presented in the form of non-dimensional uplift capacity factor of anchor plate by changing its distance from the slope crest for different slope angles, embedment ratios and angles of soil internal friction. It has been found that the decrease in horizontal distance between the edge of the anchor plate and the slope crest causes a continuous decrease in uplift capacity of anchor plate. The optimum distance is that distance between slope crest and anchor plate below which uplift capacity of an anchor plate has been found to decrease with a decrease in normalized crest distance from the anchor plate in presence of nearby sloping ground. The normalized optimum distance between the slope crest and the anchor plate has been found to increase with an increase in slope angle, embedment ratio and soil internal friction angle.

The horizontal pullout capacity of a group of two vertical strip plate anchors, placed along the same vertical plane, in a fully cohesive soil has been computed by using the lower bound finite element limit analysis. The effect of spacing between the plate anchors on the magnitude of total group failure load ($P_{uT}$) has been evaluated. An increase of soil cohesion with depth has also been incorporated in the analysis. For a weightless medium, the total pullout resistance of the group becomes maximum corresponding to a certain optimum spacing between the anchor plates which has been found to vary generally between 0.5B and B; where B is the width of the anchor plate. As compared to a single plate anchor, the increase in the pullout resistance for a group of two anchors becomes greater at a higher embedment ratio. The effect of soil unit weight has also been analyzed. It is noted that the interference effect on the pullout resistance increases further with an increase in the unit weight of soil mass.

이 연구는 플레이트의 추가가 중단열 외벽 시스템과 같은 얇은 콘크리트 패널에 설치되는 단일 앵커 콘크리트의 파괴 강도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 탄성론 기반의 단순화된 해석모델을 이용하여 CCD(concrete capacity design)이론을 통해 나타난 콘크리트 파괴 강도에 대한 플레이트의 휨 응력을 예측하였으며, 실험을 통해 나타난 플레이트의 휨 응력과 비교하였다. 앵커의 콘크리트 파괴 강도에 대한 실험은 100 mm의 얇은 패널을 대상으로 수행되었으며, 플레이트의 크기는 플레이트의 휨 응력과 항복 응력이 가장 근사값을 갖는 $PL130{\times}9mm$를 기준으로 계획되었다. 실험 결과를 통해, 플레이트의 너비 또는 두께 증가에 의해 콘크리트 파괴 강도는 향상되는 것으로 나타났지만, 콘크리트 파괴 강도의 향상 수준은 지속적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 탄성론 기반의 단순화된 탄성해석모델을 이용하여 해석과 실험 결과를 비교했을 때, 콘크리트 파괴 강도에 대한 플레이트의 영향을 비교적 잘 부합하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, a finite element(FE) analysis on electro-mechanical impedance response of cable-anchor connection interface under various anchor force is presented. In order to achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. Firstly, an interface washer coupled with piezoelectric(PZT) material is designed for monitoring cable-force loss. The interface washer is a small aluminum plate on which a PZT patch is surface-bonded. Cable-force loss could be monitored by installing the interface washer between the anchor plate and the anchorage of cable-anchor connection and examining the changes of impedance of the interface washer. Secondly, a FE model for cable-anchor connection is established to examine the effect of cable-force on impedance response of interface washer. Also, the effects of geometrical and material properties of the interface washer on impedance responses under various cable-forces are investigated. Finally, validation of the FE analysis is experimentally evaluated by a lab-scale cable-anchor connection.

오늘날 일부 아파트, 빌딩, 공연장 등 대형 건축물이 내진설계 의무 규정이 없던 시절에 완공돼 지진 대비 조치가 전혀 갖춰져 있지 않은 건축물이 많다. 이러한 건축물을 보강하는 공법 중 가장 널리 쓰이는 방법은 강판접착공법이다. 강판접착공법에 대해서는 많은 연구가 진행되어 오고 있으나, 보의 구조적 거동에 영향을 미치는 다양한 인자들의 영향이나 강성, 파괴양상 등에 미치는 영향들에 대해서는 체계적인 평가가 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문은 앵커에 변수들 준 강판 휨 보강을 앵커접합한 철근콘크리트보에 재하실험을 하여 얻은 자료를 통해 앵커접합에 따른 보의 휨 거동을 연구하여 정립하고자 한다.

An experimental investigation into the uplift capacity of horizontal square plate anchors in sand with and without geogrid reinforcement is reported. The parameters investigated are the effect of the depth of the single layer of geogrid, vertical spacing of geogrid layers, number of geogrid layers, length of geogrid layers, the effects of embedment depth, and relative density of sand. A series of three dimensional finite element analyses model was established and confirmed to be effective in capturing the behaviour of plate anchor-reinforced sand by comparing its predictions with experimental results. The results showed that the geogrid reinforcement had a considerable effect on the uplift capacity of horizontal square plate anchors in sand. The improvement in uplift capacity was found to be strongly dependent on the embedment depth and relative density of sand. A satisfactory agreement between the experimental and numerical results on general trend of behaviour and optimum geometry of reinforcement placement is observed. Based on the model test results and the finite element analyses, optimum values of the geogrid parameters for maximum reinforcing effect are discussed and suggested.

본 연구에서는 소규모 철골조에 대한 기존 건축물의 접합부 현황조사와 분석을 통해 노출형 주각부에 대한 내진성능을 평가하였다. 총 9개의 주각부에 대한 반복가력 실험을 통해 휨강도, 변형능력, 그리고 초기강성 등이 조사되었다. 실험의 주요 변수는 베이스 플레이트의 두께, 앵커볼트의 개수와 매립깊이, 앵커볼트 후크의 유무, 그리고 리브 플레이트의 유무이다. 본 실험결과에 의하면, 주각부의 휨거동은 앵커볼트의 개수와 매립깊이, 그리고 베이스 플레이트의 두께에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 주각부에 설치된 리브플레이트는 휨강도에 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 종합적으로 노출형 철골 주각부와 기초부 그리고 앵커볼트 등이 모두 현행 구조기준을 만족한다고 할지라도, 앵커볼트와 기초부 콘크리트 사이의 부착력이 충분하지 않을 경우, 슬립형 거동이 관측되어 개선이 필요한 것으로 파악되었다. 앵커볼트의 매립깊이가 현행 구조기준을 만족하고, 앵커볼트에 후크가 설치된 경우, 노출형 주각부의 초기강성은 주각부가 구속되었을 때의 휨강성 하한값의 약 15% 수준인 것으로 나타났다.

Anchorage zone in prestressed concrete cable stayed bridges is very important area due to the more accurate analysis is needed to estimate the behavior. In the study, since the cable anchorage zone in the prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge is subject to a large amount of concentrated tendon forces, it shows very complicated stress distributions and causes a serious local cracks. Accordingly, It is necessary to investigate the parameters of affecting the stress properties, such as the cable inclination, the position of anchor plate, the modeling method and the three dimensional effect. The tensile stress distribution of anchorage zone is compared to the actual design condition by varing the stiffness of spring element in the local modeling and an appropriate position of anchor plate is determined. These results would be elementary data to the stress state of anchorage zone and more efficient design.

Although being one of the most popular strengthening techniques in reinforced concrete beams, the use of steel plates bonded to the soffit raises problems of ductility. This study aims at investigating the influence of the use of perforated steel plates instead of solid steel plates on the ductility of reinforced concrete beams. A total of nine reinforced concrete beams were tested. In addition to an unplated beam, eight beams with perforated steel plates of two different thicknesses (3 mm and 6 mm) were subjected to monotonic loading. Effect of bonding the plates to the beams with anchor bolts and with additional side plates bonded to the sides of the beam with and without anchors is also investigated. The use of bolts in addition to epoxy was found to greatly contribute to the ductility and energy absorption capacity of the beams, particularly in specimens with thick plates (6 mm) and the use side plates in addition to the bottom plate was found to be ineffective in increasing the ductility of a concrete beam unless the side plates are attached to the beam with anchors bolts. The thickness of the plate was found to have little effect on the bending rigidity of the beam.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze initial displacement and stress distribution of the maxillofacial complex during dentoskeletal maxillary protraction with various appliance designs placed on the palatal region by using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Methods: Six models of maxillary protraction were developed: conventional facemask (Type A), facemask with dentoskeletal hybrid anchorage (Type B), facemask with a palatal plate (Type C), intraoral traction using a Class III palatal plate (Type D), facemask with a palatal plate combined with rapid maxillary expansion (RME; Type E), and Class III palatal plate intraoral traction with RME (Type F). In Types A, B, C, and D, maxillary protraction alone was performed, whereas in Types E and F, transverse expansion was performed simultaneously with maxillary protraction. Results: Type C displayed the greatest amount of anterior dentoskeletal displacement in the sagittal plane. Types A and B resulted in similar amounts of anterior displacement of all the maxillofacial landmarks. Type D showed little movement, but Type E with expansion and the palatal plate displayed a larger range of movement of the maxillofacial landmarks in all directions. Conclusions: The palatal plate served as an effective skeletal anchor for use with the facemask in maxillary protraction. In contrast, the intraoral use of Class III palatal plates showed minimal skeletal and dental effects in maxillary protraction. In addition, palatal expansion with the protraction force showed minimal effect on the forward movement of the maxillary complex.
