In general, the study of a high-rise building's behaviour when subjected to a horizontal load (wind or earthquake) is carried out through numerical modelling with finite elements method. This paper proposes a new, original approach based on the use of a multi-beams model. By redistributing bending and axial stiffness of horizontal elements (beams and slabs) along vertical elements, it becomes possible to produce a system of differential equations able to represent the structural behaviour of the whole building. In this paper this approach is applied to the study of bending behaviour in a 37-storey building (Torre Pontina, Latina, Italy) with a regular reinforced concrete structure. The load considered is the wind, estimated in accordance with Italian national technical rules and regulations. To simplify the explanation of the approach, the wind load was considered uniform on the height of building with a value equal to the average value of the wind load distribution. The system of differential equations' is assessed numerically, using Matlab, and compared with the obtainable solution from a finite elements model along with the obtainable solutions via classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The comparison carried out demonstrates, in the case study examined, an excellent approximation of structural behaviour.

Steel -Concrete Composite two girder railway bridges applying high performance steel with extra thick plate have economic and aesthetic advantages due to the simplification of manufacturing and construction process. However, steel bridges are seldom adopted in domestic railway bridge, since steel bridges are not efficient as R.C bridges considering dynamic characteristics and noise, etc. While highway bridges do not have lower horizontal bracing and larger interval of diaphragm cross beam, railway bridges install lower horizontal bracings to control the torsion due to heavy eccentrical line load. Accurate finite element analysis were performed with the parameters of existence of bracing and bracing shape, with the cross beam interval and stiffness, etc. To find out the effects of secondary members such as horizontal bracings and diaphragms, static md dynamic analysis have been performed by using finite element method. In this study, few member plate-girder bridges are analyzed with variable span lengths to examine the dynamic behavior and limits of damping. And though lateral bracings are members against torsion, but lateral bracing's absence is no big problem. Time history analysis using mode superposition method makes proof of this result.

This study performs reliability analysis of three-dimensional temporary shoring structures with three different models. The first model represents a field model which does not have diagonal bracing members. The installation of bracing members is often neglected in the field for convenience. The second model corresponds to a design model which has the bracing members with the hinge connection of horizontal and bracing members at joints. The third model is similar to the second model but the hinge connection is replaced with partial rotational stiffness. The reliability analysis results revealed that the vertical members of the three models are safe enough in terms of axial force, but the vertical and horizontal members exhibit a big difference among the three models in terms of combination stress of axial force and bi-axial bending moments. The field model showed significant increase in failure probability for the horizontal member, and thus the results demonstrate that the bracing member should be installed necessarily for the safety of the temporary shoring structures.

To evaluate the performance of concrete load bearing walls in a structure under horizontal loads after being exposed to real fire, two steps were followed. In the first step, an experimental study was performed on the thermo-mechanical properties of concrete after heating to temperatures of 200-1000℃ with the purpose of determining the residual mechanical properties after cooling. The temperature was increased in line with natural fire curve in an electric furnace. The peak temperature was maintained for a period of 1.5 hour and then allowed to cool gradually in air at room temperature. All specimens were made from calcareous aggregate to be used for determining the residual properties: compressive strength, static and dynamic elasticity modulus by means of UPV test, including the mass loss. The concrete residual compressive strength and elastic modulus values were compared with those calculated from Eurocode and other analytical models from other studies, and were found to be satisfactory. In the second step, experimental analysis results were then implemented into structural numerical analysis to predict the post-fire load-bearing capacity response of the walls under vertical and horizontal loads. The parameters considered in this analysis were the effective height, the thickness of the wall, various support conditions and the residual strength of concrete. The results indicate that fire damage does not significantly affect the lateral capacity and stiffness of reinforced walls for temperature fires up to 400℃.

본 논문에서는 유한요소해석을 통해 기초지반의 강성과 상재하중이 블록식 보강토 옹벽에 미치는 영향을 고찰한 내용을 다루었다. 이를 위해 기초지반의 강성과 상재하중의 위치를 변화시키며 매개변수 연구를 수행하였으며 해석결과에서는 벽체의 변위와 보강재의 유발인장력은 기초지반의 강성이 감소함에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 해석결과에 따르면 현재 설계기준에서 적용되고 있는 상재하중 처리 방법은 경우에 따라서 상재하중의 영향을 지나치게 과대평가 하는 것으로 나타났으며 상재하중이 보강영역에 근접하여 작용할 경우 외적안정성 검토시 주의를 요하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과가 실무적 측면에서 의미하는 바를 심도 있게 고찰하였다.

본 연구에서는 CFT 트러스 거더의 자유진동실험 결과를 토대로 주요 코드에서 규정하고 있는 CFT(concrete filled tube) 합성단면의 초기 휨강성 산정식을 평가하였다. 각 코드에서 규정하는 합성단면 초기 휨강성 산정식에 의한 CFT 트러스 거더의 자유진동 해석결과와 실험결과를 비교하였으며, 그 결과 CFT 트러스 거더의 자유진동실험 결과는 ACI의 휨강성 산정식을 적용하는 경우의 해석결과와 잘 일치하는 결과를 보였다. 이를 반영하여 f/L비 변화에 따른 CFT 트러스 거더의 자유진동해석을 수행하여 f/L비가 CFT 거더의 고유진동수에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. CFT 트러스 거더의 f/L비는 거더의 전체강성에 영향을 주기 때문에 고유진동수를 변화시킨다. 수평모드에서의 고유진동수는 f/L비가 증가하면 감소하지만, 연직 모드에서의 고유진동수는 f/L비가 증가하면 선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

This study performed the seismic response analysis of an LNG storage tank supported by a disconnected piled raft foundation (DPRF) with a load transfer platform (LTP). For this purpose, a precise analytical model with simultaneous consideration of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) was used. The effect of the LTP characteristics (thickness, stiffness) of the DPRF system on the seismic response of the superstructure (inner and outer tanks) and piles was analyzed. The analytical results were compared with the response of the piled raft foundation (PRF) system. The following conclusions can be drawn from the numerical results: (1) The DPRF system has a smaller bending moment and axial force at the head of the pile than the PRF system, even if the thickness and stiffness of the LTP change; (2) The DPRF system has a slight stiffness of the LTP and the superstructure member force can increase with increasing thickness. This is because as the stiffness of the LTP decreases and the thickness increases, the natural frequency of the LTP becomes closer to the natural frequency of the superstructure, which may affect the response of the superstructure. Therefore, when applying the DPRF system, it is recommended that the sensitivity analysis of the seismic response to the thickness and stiffness of the LTP must be performed.

RAR(Reinforced Abutment for Railways)은 뒤채움을 선 시공하고, 교대를 후 시공하여 접속부의 침하와 교대 수평토압 및 변위를 저감할 수 있는 교대 구조로 교대 구체 및 저판의 사이즈와 말뚝의 설치 수를 줄인 경제적인 교대 구조이다. 본 논문에서는 말뚝 설치 수에 따른 RAR의 성능을 수치 해석을 이용하여 평가하였다. 말뚝의 설치 수를 1~4열을 적용한 RAR을 지반 변형계수를 달리한 조건에 대하여 수치 해석을 수행하고, 그 결과를 동일한 지반 조건에서 기존 교대의 수치해석결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 해석결과 말뚝 설치 수를 증가시키는 경우 접속부 침하저감 효과는 비교적 크지 않았고, 교대수평변위 및 토압 저감에 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝 설치 열 수가 1~4열로 변할 때 RAR의 수평변위는 기존교대의 26~37%, 수평토압은 59~83%수준으로 말뚝 설치수가 증가할수록 기존교대(말뚝5열)에 비해 수평변위와 토압을 크게 저감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 RAR의 수평 토압은 보강재, 말뚝, 기초저판, 원지반 강성 등의 영향을 복합적으로 받는 것으로 평가되었다.

The actual buckling of the railroad track structure is suspected to be a complex interaction between the vertical, lateral and torsional modes. To make the analysis tractable, however, most studies restrict themselves to either the vertical or the horizontal plane. Based on a comprehensive and realistic three-dimensional track model developed in the previous study, three dimensional buckling analysis of CWR track subjected to temperature load was performed. Using the study on buckling temperature and mode, sensitivity of track components such as tie spacing, ballast resistance, stiffness of pad-fastening system and rail size were investigated.
