콘크리트는 타설시부터 수많은 미세균열을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 미세균열등이 성장하고 전파되어 결국에는 콘크리트가 파괴된다. 이러한 일련의 과정을 손상이라 한다. 손상은 주로 2차 텐서로 표현되며 균열은 연속체적 현상으로 취급된다. 본 논문에서는 손상의 특성을 유효응력개념과 함께 등가탄성에너지법을 이용하여 나타내었으며, Helmholtz 자유에너지와 소산 포텐셜을 이용하여 손상모델의 손상전개와 구성방정식을 유도하였다. 구성방정식은 콘크리트의 탄성, 이방성 손상과 소성의 영향을 포함하도록 하였다. 두 가지 형태의 유효접선강성텐를 사용하였는데, 하나는 탄성-손상의 영향에 의한 것이며 다른 하나는 소성-손상의 영향에 의한 것이다. 모델을 검증하기 위하여 일축과 이축의 하중을 받는 콘크리트 요소에 대하여 유한요소해석을 하였으며 그 결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다.

This paper describes the results of experiments and numerical simulation studies on the impact and indentation damage created by low-velocity impact subjected onto honeycomb sandwich panels for application to the BIMODAL tram. The test panels were subjected to low-velocity impact loading using an instrumented testing machine at six energy levels. Contact force histories as a function of time were evaluated and compared. The extent of the damage and depth of the permanent indentation was measured quantitatively using a 3-dimensional scanner. An explicit finite element analysis based on LS-DYNA3D was focused on the introduction of a material damage model and numerical simulation of low-velocity impact responses on honeycomb sandwich panels. Extensive material testing was conducted to determine the input parameters for the metallic and composite face-sheet materials and the effective equivalent damage model for the orthotropic honeycomb core material. Good agreement was obtained between numerical and experimental results; in particular, the numerical simulation was able to predict impact damage area and the depth of indentation of honeycomb sandwich composite panels created by the impact loading.

This paper concerns the development of a computational model for the damage evolution of engineering materials under dynamic loading. Two models describing the anisotropic damage evolution of a material are presented; the first is based on a power function of the effective equivalent stress and the second on the damage strain energy release rate. The methods for computing the damage accumulated in structural components and their implementation in a finite element programme are presented together with some numerical results. The dynamic response of a damaged structural component and the dynamic behaviour of a damaged material have been studied numerically. This study shows that the frequency spectrum of a damaged structure is down-shifted, while the damping ratio of damaged materials becomes higher, the amplitude of the response significantly increases and the resonance ensuing from the damage growth still occurs in a damaged structure.

A new effective model for calculation of the equivalent uniform blast load for non-uniform blast load such as close-in explosion of a one-way square and rectangle reinforced concrete slab is proposed in this paper. The model is then validated using single degree of freedom (SDOF) system with the experiments and blast tests for square slabs and rectangle slabs. Test results showed that the model is accurate in predicting the damage level on the tested RC slabs under the given explosive charge weight and stand-off distance especially for close-in blast load. The results are also compared with those obtained by conventional SDOF analysis and finite element (FE) analysis using solid elements. It is shown that the new model is more accurate than the conventional SDOF analysis and is running faster than the FE analysis.

콘크리트의 미세공극 혹은 미세균열의 발생과 성장은 콘크리트의 점차적인 물성 저하를 야기한다. 이와같은 손상은 이방성을 가지며 소성과 함께 콘크리트의 비선형거동을 일으키는 주요원인이 된다. 본 논문은 콘크리트의 탄소성 변형 및 손상을 고려하여 콘크리트의 이방성 손상거동을 해석할 수 있는 콘크리트 연속체 손상모델의 개발에 관한 연구이다. 등가 탄성 에너지원리를 이용하여 이방 손상텐서로 표현된 유효탄성텐서를 구하고, 이를 포함하고 있는 열역학 법칙의 자유에너지함수와 소산포텐셜로부터 손상의 전개법칙을 유도한 후, 손상에너지해방률의 함수로 표현한 손상면을 적용하므로써 콘크리트의 이상성손상을 효율적으로 해석 할 수 있는 구성방정식을 유도하였다. 또한 이방성 손상모델에 콘크리트의 소성모델을 도입시켜 탄소성 변형 및 손상을 함께 고려할 수 있는 콘크리트의 연속체 손상모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 손상모델을 유한요소해석 프로그램에 적용하여 1축 및 2축의 여러 조합응력을 받는 콘크리트 모형을 유한요소해석하였으며, 실험결과 또는 타 모델과의 비교로부터 손상모델의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Cooling by the flow of water through an embedded cooling pipe has become a common and effective artificial thermal control measure for massive concrete structures. However, an extreme thermal gradient induces significant thermal stress, resulting in thermal cracking. Using a mesoscopic finite-element (FE) mesh, three-phase composites of concrete namely aggregate, mortar matrix and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) are modeled. An equivalent probabilistic model is presented for failure study of concrete by assuming that the material properties conform to the Weibull distribution law. Meanwhile, the correlation coefficient introduced by the statistical method is incorporated into the Weibull distribution formula. Subsequently, a series of numerical analyses are used for investigating the influence of the correlation coefficient on tensile strength and the failure process of concrete based on the equivalent probabilistic model. Finally, as an engineering application, damage and failure behavior of concrete cracks induced by a water-cooling pipe are analyzed in-depth by the presented model. Results show that the random distribution of concrete mechanical parameters and the temperature gradient near water-cooling pipe have a significant influence on the pattern and failure progress of temperature-induced micro-cracking in concrete.

This study investigated the performance of a steel column standing on a reinforced concrete footing when it was subjected to collision of an eight-ton single unit truck. Finite element analyses of the structure with different connection schemes were performed using the finite element model of the truck, and the results showed that the behavior of the column subjected to the automobile impact depended largely on the column-footing connection detail. Various reinforcement schemes were investigated to mitigate the damage caused by the car impact. The probability of the model reinforced with a certain scheme to reach a given limit state was obtained by fragility analysis, and the effects of the combined reinforcement methods were investigated based on the equivalent fragility scheme. The analysis results showed that the reinforcement schemes such as increase of the pedestal area, decrease of the pedestal height, and the steel plate jacketing of the pedestal were effective in reducing the damage. As the speed of the automobile increased the contribution of the increase in the number of the anchor bolts and the dowel bars became more important to prevent crushing of the pedestal.

The Stonecutters Bridge (SCB) in Hong Kong is the third-longest cable-stayed bridge in the world with a main span stretching 1,018 m between two 298 m high single-leg tapering composite towers. A Wind and Structural Health Monitoring System (WASHMS) is being implemented on SCB by the Highways Department of The Hong Kong SAR Government, and the SCB-WASHMS is composed of more than 1,300 sensors in 15 types. In order to establish a linkage between structural health monitoring and maintenance management, a Structural Health Rating System (SHRS) with relevant rating tools and indices is devised. On the basis of a 3D space frame finite element model (FEM) of SCB and model updating, this paper presents the development of an SHR-oriented 3D multi-scale FEM for the purpose of load-resistance analysis and damage evaluation in structural element level, including modeling, refinement and validation of the multi-scale FEM. The refined 3D structural segments at deck and towers are established in critical segment positions corresponding to maximum cable forces. The components in the critical segment region are modeled as a full 3D FEM and fitted into the 3D space frame FEM. The boundary conditions between beam and shell elements are performed conforming to equivalent stiffness, effective mass and compatibility of deformation. The 3D multi-scale FEM is verified by the in-situ measured dynamic characteristics and static response. A good agreement between the FEM and measurement results indicates that the 3D multi-scale FEM is precise and efficient for WASHMS and SHRS of SCB. In addition, stress distribution and concentration of the critical segments in the 3D multi-scale FEM under temperature loads, static wind loads and equivalent seismic loads are investigated. Stress concentration elements under equivalent seismic loads exist in the anchor zone in steel/concrete beam and the anchor plate edge in steel anchor box of the towers.
