It is well understood that concentrated forces applied in the plane of a beam or panel (such as a wall or slab) lead to splitting forces developing within a disturbed region forming beyond the bearing zone. In a linearly elastic material the length of the disturbed region is approximately equal to the depth of the member. In concrete structures, however, the length of the disturbed region is a function of the orthotropic properties of the concrete-steel composite. In the detailing of steel reinforcement within the disturbed regions two limit states must be satisfied; strength and serviceability (in this case the serviceability requirement being acceptable crack widths). If the design requires large redistribution of stresses, the member may perform poorly at service and/or overload. In this paper the results of a plane stress finite element investigation of concentrated loads on reinforced concrete panels are presented. Two cases are examined (i) panels loaded concentrically, and (ii) panels loaded eccentrically. The numerical investigation suggests that the bursting force distribution is substantially different from that calculated using elastic design methods currently used in some codes of practice. The optimum solution for a uniformly reinforced bursting region was found to be with the reinforcement distributed from approximately 0.2 times the effective depth of the member ($0.2D_e$) to between $1.2D_e$ and $1.6D_e$. Strut and tie models based on the finite element analyses are proposed herein.

In different high seismic regions around the world, many non-ductile existing reinforced concrete frame buildings, built without adequate seismic detailing requirements, have been damaged or collapsed after past earthquakes. The assessment and the retrofit of these non-ductile concrete structures is crucial theme of research for all the scientific community of engineers. In particular, a careful assessment of the existing building is fundamental for understanding the failure mechanisms that govern the collapse of the structure or the achievement of the recommended limit states. Based on the seismic assessment, the best retrofit strategy can be designed and applied to the structure. A school building located in Avellino province (Italy) is the case study. The analysis of seismic vulnerability carried out on the mentioned building has highlighted deficiencies in both static and seismic load conditions. The retrofit of the building has been designed based on different retrofit options in order to show the real retrofit design developed from the engineers to achieve the seismic safety of the building. The retrofit costs associated to structural operations are calculated for each case and have been summed up to the costs of the in situ tests. The paper shows a real retrofit design case study in which the best solution is chosen based on the results in terms of structural performance and cost among the different retrofit options.

For the grillage which is common types of structures in marine and land-based structural system, the elastic response and design methods are usually applied. However, plastic analysis and design methods are considered Tn those structures to maintain the structural stability at the limit states. In grillage design, the central intersection point load may be used as a worst loading condition. However, a point load may often move around on the grid system. in such case, the worst load point would not necessarily be at the central point. To investigate the variation of plastic collapse load according to the location of moving load between intersections, the plastic collapse loads are obtained for the three types of grillages with simply-supported ends. From the result of each case, it is confirmed that the worst load point is located between intersections. General formulae related with plastic collapse loads for the three groups of grillages with simply-supported boundaries are derived. Those plastic collapse formulae for the grillages are applied to the design of pontoon deck, and optimum design procedure is illustrated. Consequently, general formulae for the plastic collapse of grillages derived from this study can be easily applied to the plastic analysis and optimum design of similar grillages.

우리나라 해안공학계에서 신뢰성 기반설계가 빠르게 체화되는 계기를 제공하기 위해 다 수의 한계상태를 지닌 직립방파제 신뢰성 해석과 신뢰성 기반 최적 설계를 우리나라를 대표하는 항이 운영 중인 부산, 군산 전면해역을 대상으로 수행하였다. 이 과정에서 상당한 정도의 신뢰성 해석을 수행하기 위해, 특정 재현 빈도의 설계 파 사용은 지양하였으며, 직립방파제의 파괴 여부를 결정하는 확률변수인 파력, 양력, 전도 모멘트에 내재한 불확실성은 장기 파랑 관측자료를 빈도 해석하여 얻은 확률모형을 사용하여 기술하였다. 직립식 방파제의 한계상태는 활동, 전도, 지지력을 고려하여 세 개로 구성하였으며, 파력과 양력, 모멘트 사이의 밀접한 상관성은 Nataf 결합확률분포를 사용하여 기술하였다. 모의 결과, 쉽게 예상해볼 수 있듯 활동만을 고려하는 경우 파괴확률이 과소하게 산출되는것을 확인하였으며, 특정 재현 빈도에 근거한 설계 파랑으로는 방파제 파괴확률을 일정하게 담보할 수 없다는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 비해 신뢰 지수가 𝛽 = 3.5~4를 충족하도록 최적 설계된 방파제는 두 해역에서 모두 균질한 파괴확률을 확보하는 것으로 모의 되었다.

It is crucial for important facilities to withstand strong earthquakes because their damage may cause undesirable socio-economic effect. A liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal is one of the lifeline facilities whose seismic safety needs to be guaranteed. Even though all operating LNG receiving terminals in Korea were seismically designed, old design codes do not guarantee to comply with the current seismic design codes. In addition, if the constructional materials have been deteriorated, the seismic capacity of facilities may be also deteriorated. Therefore, it is necessary that the seismic performance of LNG receiving terminals is evaluated and the facilities that lack of seismic capacity have to be rehabilitated. In this paper, a procedure of seismic performance evaluation of such facilities is developed such that the procedure consists of three phases, namely pre-analysis, analysis, and evaluation phases. In the pre-analysis phase, design documents are reviewed and walk-on inspection is performed to determine the current state of the material properties. In the analysis phase, a structural analysis under a given earthquake or a seismic effect is performed to determine the seismic response of the structure. In the evaluation phase, seismic performance of the structure is evaluated based on limit states. Two of the important facilities, i.e. the submerged combustion vaporizer (SMV) and pipe racks of one of the Korean LNG receiving terminals are selected and evaluated according to the developed procedure. Both of the facilities are safe under the design level earthquake.

This paper presents the mechanical buckling of bi-directional functionally graded sandwich beams (BFGSW) with various boundary conditions employing a quasi-3D beam theory, including an integral term in the displacement field, which reduces the number of unknowns and governing equations. The beams are composed of three layers. The core is made from two constituents and varies across the thickness; however, the covering layers of the beams are made of bidirectional functionally graded material (BFGSW) and vary smoothly along the beam length and thickness directions. The power gradation model is considered to estimate the variation of material properties. The used formulation reflects the transverse shear effect and uses only three variables without including the correction factor used in the first shear deformation theory (FSDT) proposed by Timoshenko. The principle of virtual forces is used to obtain stability equations. Moreover, the impacts of the control of the power-law index, layer thickness ratio, length-to-depth ratio, and boundary conditions on buckling response are demonstrated. Our contribution in the present work is applying an analytical solution to investigate the stability behavior of bidirectional FG sandwich beams under various boundary conditions.

유럽과 미국에서는 말뚝기초 설계에 한계상태설계법 사용이 거의 정착되었으며, 세계적 추세에 따라 국내에서도 국토해양부가 한계상태설계법에 기반한 교량하부기초 설계기준을 제정하였지만, 국내 말뚝공법 및 지반조건에 대한 저항계수 연구가 부족하여 당장 설계에 반영하기에는 어려운 여건이었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내에서 많이 사용되고 있는 PHC 매입말뚝의 저항계수를 구하기 위하여 LH설계기준과 도로교설계기준 방법으로 산정한 지지력과 LH 현장에서 실시한 정재하시험(21회)과 동재하시험(EOID 21회, Restrike 21회) 결과를 신뢰성분석을 실시하였으며, 선행 논문(재하시험에 의한 PHC 매입말뚝의 저항계수 산정)에서 수행한 결과보다 2배 이상 많은 데이터를 추가하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 정재하지지력(극한)으로 구한 저항계수는 설계식 및 목표신뢰도지수에 따라 0.64~0.83, 동재하지지력(극한)으로 구한 저항계수는 0.42~0.55로 나와 정재하지지력(극한)으로 구한 저항계수보다 약 33% 작게 나타났다. 반면 수정동재하지지력(EOID의 극한선단지지력 + Restrike의 극한주면지지력)으로 구한 저항계수는 0.55~0.71로 나와 정재하지지력(극한)으로 구한 저항계수와 비교 시 그 차이가 약 14%로 줄어들었다. 데이터 추가에 의해 저항계수를 산정한 결과 이전 저항계수와 같거나 0.04정도 증가하여 데이터가 2배 이상 추가되어도 저항계수가 의미 있을 정도로 크게 변하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 정재하 및 동재하시험으로 산정한 전체 저항계수는 전반적으로 도로교설계기준(2015)에서 제시한 저항계수 0.3보다 커서 경제적인 설계가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

수평하중에 대한 휨강성을 증대시키기 위해 얇은 두께의 강관 내부에 PHC말뚝을 합성한 중공형 콘크리트 충전강관(HCFT)말뚝을 개발하였고, HCFT말뚝의 현장 적용 시 말뚝의 구조안전성 평가에 필요한 한계상태에서 P-M 상관도를 작도할 수 있는 산정식을 제안하였다. HCFT말뚝을 구성하는 강관과 PC강봉에 대한 강도 값으로 항복응력을 적용할 경우 제안식은 HCFT말뚝의 극한휨내력을 큰 폭으로 과소평가하였고, 축력이 작용하지 않을 때 휨강도시험결과와 달리 HCFT말뚝보다 직경이 동일하고 두께가 12mm인 강관말뚝의 극한휨내력을 더 크게 산정하였다. 그러나 HCFT말뚝을 구성하는 강관과 PC강봉에 대해 항복강도인 f_y 대신 극한강도인 f_u를 사용하면 제안식은 휨강도시험 측정결과에 매우 근접한 극한휨내력을 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.

Available records of recent earthquakes show that near-field earthquakes have different characteristics than far-field earthquakes. In general, most of these unique characteristics of near-fault records can be attributed to their forward directivity. This phenomenon causes the records of ground motion normal to the fault to entail pulses with long periods in the velocity time history. The energy of the earthquake is almost accumulated in these pulses causing large displacements and, accordingly, severe damages in the building. Damage to structures caused by past earthquakes raises the need to assess the chance of future earthquake damage. There are a variety of methods to evaluate building seismic vulnerabilities with different computational cost and accuracy. In the meantime, fragility curves, which defines the possibility of structural damage as a function of ground motion characteristics and design parameters, are more common. These curves express the percentage of probability that the structural response will exceed the allowable performance limit at different seismic intensities. This study aims to obtain the fragility curve for low- and mid-rise structures of reinforced concrete moment frames by incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). These frames were exposed to an ensemble of 18 ground motions (nine records near-faults and nine records far-faults). Finally, after the analysis, their fragility curves are obtained using the limit states provided by HAZUS-MH 2.1. The result shows the near-fault earthquakes can drastically influence the fragility curves of the 6-story building while it has a minimal impact on those of the 3-story building.
