Steel arch supports are used in mines and underground structures to provide stability. Most of the supports are made up of overlapping arches. They can behave either yieldingly or unyieldingly. If the normal force at any point of overlapping equals the slip resistance, the slide occurs. This paper presents a solution procedure for determining the load-carrying capacity of steel arch supports in the yielding implementation. This solution considers the effects of several significant elements, including differing materials and the number of clamps in yielding friction joints. The direct stiffness method is applied. The solution contains geometric, physical, and structural nonlinearity. The results obtained from numerical modeling using the provided procedure are compared to laboratory tests conducted at GIG Katowice in 2012. They show a good correlation with previously collected data from equivalent laboratory conditions.

Seismic strengthening is essential for existing bridge piers which are deficient to resist the earthquake. The concrete and CFRP jackets with a bottom-anchoring method are used to strengthen railway bridge piers with low reinforcement ratio. Quasi-static tests of scaled down model piers are performed to evaluate the seismic performance of the original and strengthened bridge pier. The fracture characteristics indicate that the vulnerable position of the railway bridge pier with low reinforcement ratio during earthquake is the pier-footing region and shows flexural failure mode. The force-displacement relationships show that the two strengthening techniques using CFRP and concrete jackets can both provide a significant improvement in load-carrying capacity for railway bridge piers with low reinforcement ratio. It is clear that the bottom-anchoring method by using planted steel bars can guarantee the CFRP and concrete jackets to work jointly with original concrete piers Furthermore, it can be found that the use of CFRP jacket offers advantages over concrete jacket in improving the energy dissipation capacity under lateral cyclic loading. Therefore, the seismic strengthening techniques by the use of CFRP and concrete jackets provide alternative choices for the large numbers of existing railway bridge piers with low reinforcement ratio in China.

사회기반시설물인 교량은 인적/물적 자원의 신속하고 원활한 이동을 위해 지장물을 극복하도록 설계/시공되는 구조물이다. 그러므로 교량의 교축방향으로 배열되는 교각의 형상과 규모는 지형의 제약을 받을 수밖에 없다. 이러한 교각의 형상과 규모는 지진하중의 전달경로를 결정하는 연결부분 배열과 함께 연결부분과 교각에 발생하는 작용력을 좌우하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 강재받침과 철근콘크리트 기둥을 연결부분과 교각으로 하는 일반교량을 대상으로 교각 및 강재받침 배열이 다른 해석모델을 설정하여 지진해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과로 구한 교각기둥과 강재받침의 강도/작용력 비로부터 각 해석모델의 연성파괴메카니즘을 구성하고 연결부분 및 교각 배열이 일반교량의 내진성능에 미치는 영향을 연성파괴메카니즘 구성 측면에서 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 3차원 탄-소성 유한차분해석을 통해 기존재하는 단독말뚝, $3{\times}3$및 $5{\times}5$ 군말뚝의 바로 아래 풍화암 지반에서 실시된 터널시공으로 인한 말뚝의 거동을 분석하였다. 수치해석에서는 터널굴착으로 인한 말뚝의 거동을 규명하기 위하여 지반/말뚝의 침하 및 전단응력전이(shear stress transfer) 메커니즘을 심도있게 분석하였다. 터널굴착으로 유발된 지반의 침하와 말뚝-지반 사이 경계면에서의 상대변위 발생으로 인해 말뚝에 작용하는 전단응력 및 축력의 분포가 매우 크게 변화하였다. 계산된 결과에 의하면 터널굴착으로 인해 말뚝의 두부로부터 말뚝길이의 약 80%에 해당되는 위치까지는 상향의 전단응력이 발생하였고, 그 하부에서는 하향의 전단응력이 발생하였다. 이로 인해 말뚝의 축력이 터널의 굴착에 따라 지속적으로 감소하고, 순수한 터널의 시공으로 인하여 말뚝에는 인장력이 발생하였는데 이로 인해 말뚝에는 최대 $0.36P_a$의 인장력이 발생하였다, 여기서 $P_a$는 터널굴착이전에 말뚝두부에 작용하는 설계하중이다. 말뚝의 거동은 경계면에서의 전단강도 발현 정도에 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 군말뚝의 경우 일반적으로 말뚝의 숫자가 증가할수록 터널의 시공에 의해 말뚝의 침하가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이와는 반대로 말뚝의 축력변화는 군효과(shielding effect)로 인해 단독말뚝의 경우에 비해 작은 것으로 분석되었다. 터널굴착으로 인한 말뚝침하의 증가로 인한 겉보기지지력(apparent pile capacity) 감소는 단독말뚝에 비해 군말뚝에서 두드러지는 것으로 분석되었다.

It is currently well known that surface textures act as lubricant reservoirs, entrap wear debris, and hydrodynamic bearings, which can lead to certain increases in load-carrying capacities. Until recently, the vast majority of research has focused on parallel sliding machine components such as thrust bearings, mechanical face seals, piston rings, etc. However, most sliding bearings have a convergent film shape in the sliding direction and their hydrodynamic pressure is mainly generated by the wedge action. Following the first part of the present study that investigates the effect of groove position on the lubrication performances of inclined slider bearings, this paper focuses on the effects of groove depths and film thicknesses. Using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT, the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are numerically analyzed. The results show that the film thickness and groove depth have a significant influence on the pressure distribution. The maximum pressure occurs at the groove depth where the vortex is found and, as the depth increases, the pressure decreases. There is also a groove depth to maximize the supporting load with the film thickness. The friction force acting on the slider decreases with deeper grooves. Therefore, properly designed groove depths, depending on the operating conditions, can improve the load-carrying capacity of inclined slider bearings as compared to the bearings without a groove.

A high-efficiency simplified modelling approach is proposed for investigating the nonlinear responses of reinforced concrete linings of shield tunnels. Material and geometric nonlinearities are considered in the analysis of the lining structures undergoing large deformation before ultimately losing the load-carrying capacity. A beam-spring element model is developed to capture the force-transfer mechanism between lining segments and radial joints. The developed model is validated by comparing analyzed results to experimental results of a single-ring lining structure under two loading conditions: the ground overloading and the lateral unloading respectively. The results show that the lining structure under the lateral unloading due to excavation on the both sides of the tunnel is more vulnerable compared to the case of ground overloading on the top of the tunnel. A parameter study is conducted and results indicate that the lateral pressure coefficient has the greatest influence on the behaviour of the lining structure.

Recent developments in multi-storey buildings for residential purpose have led to the extensive use of shear walls for the basic structural system. When the coupled shear wall system is used, joined together with cast-in-place concrete or mortar (or grout), the function of the continuous joints is a crucial factor in determining the safety of L.P. Precast concrete shear wall structures, because the function of the continuous joints(Vertical wall to wall joints) is to transfer froces from one element(shear wall panel) to another, and if sufficient strength and ductility is not developed in the continuous joints, the available strength in the adjoining elements may not be fully utilized. In this paper, the influence of the stiffness of vertical joints(wet vertical keyed shear joints) on the behaviour of precast shear walls is theoretically investigated. To define how the stiffness of the vertical joints affect the load carrying capacity of L.P.Precast concrete shear wall structure, the L.P.Precast concrete shear wall structure is analyzed, with the stiffness of the vertical joints varying from $K=0.07kg/mm^3$(50MN/m/m) to $K=1.43kg/mm^3$(1000MN/m/m), by using the continuous connection method. The results of the analysis shows that at the low values of the vertical stiffness, i.e. from $K=0.07kg/mm^3$(50MN/m/m) to $K=0.57kg/mm^3$(400MN/m/m), the resisting bending moment and shearing force of precast shear walls, the resisting shearing force of vertical joints and connecting beams are significantly affected. The detailed results of analysis are represented in the following figures and Tables.

Surface texturing is widely applied to friction surfaces of various machine elements. Most of the theoretical studies have focused on isothermal (ISO) analyses which consider constant lubricant viscosity. However, there have been limited studies on the effect of oil temperature increase owing to viscous shear. Following the first part of the present study that investigated the effects of film-temperature boundary condition (FTBC) and groove number on the thermohydrodynamic (THD) lubrication characteristics of a surface-textured parallel thrust bearing with multiple rectangular grooves, this study focuses on the effect of groove depths. Current study numerically analyzes the continuity, Navier-Stokes, and energy equations with temperature-viscosity-density relations using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, FLUENT. The results of variation in temperature, velocity, and pressure distributions as well as load-carrying capacity (LCC) and friction force indicate that groove depth and FTBC significantly influence the temperature distribution and pressure generation. The LCC is maximum near the groove depth at which the vortex starts, smaller than the ISO result. For intense grooves, the LCC of THD may be larger than that from ISO. The frictional force decreases as the groove becomes deeper, and decreases more significantly in the case of THD. The study shows that groove depth significantly influences the THD lubrication characteristics of surface-textured parallel thrust bearings.
