본 연구의 목적은 연약점토층에 성토하는 경우 하중속도에 따른 수평변위거동을 모형실험을 이용하여 분석하고자 하는 것이다. 모형실험은 연약점토층의 두께와 하중속도를 고려한 7가지 경우로 구성되어있으며, 모형실험의 결과로부터 지반변위 거동과 재하속도와의 관계를 규명하였다. 연약토의 두께와 재하속도에 변화를 주어 모형실험을 실시한 결과, 재하속도가 작은 경우에는 재하판 부근의 1차원 연직 아래방향의 움직임이 분명하게 발생하였으며, 지표면 융기량은 작게 발생되었다. 재하속도가 큰 경우에는 재하판 끝의 지반변위는 측방변위가 크게 나타나고 지표면 융기량도 크게 발생하였다. 현장적용성을 확인하기 위하여 지표면 변위가 관측된 3가지 사례에 대하여 비교 검토한 결과 고함수비 점토지반에서 실측값과 계산 값이 비교적 잘 일치하였고, 지표면 융기영역과 융기량 등의 변위를 예측할 수 있다는 것을 알았다.

In the analysis of metal forming problems, the explicit time integration finite element method, which does not have convergence problems, is frequently used. The present work is to assess the applicability of the explicit time integration finite element method to quasi-static metal forming problems. Compressing analyses of thin-walled tubes and solid cylinders are performed with different loading velocities. The computed buckled profiles of thin walled tubes are compared with the theoretical and experimental ones and it is found that at sufficiently low loading velocity, the explicit time integration finite element method accurately predict quasi-static buckled profiles. When loading volocity is increased, the computed buckled profiles of thin-walled tubes are very sensitive to loading velocity however the computed profiles of solid cylinders are less sensitive to loading velocity. In orther words, the geometrically self-constrained specimens like solid cylinders are less sensitive to loading velocity than the geometrically unconstrained specimens like thin-walled tubes. As a result, it is found that the geometrically self-constrained problems which include the greater part of metal forming problems can be efficiently analyzed with loading velocity control technique.

The strain rate of reinforced concrete (RC) structures stimulated by earthquake action has been generally recognized as in the range from $10^{-4}/s$ to $10^{-1}/s$. Because both concrete and steel reinforcement are rate-sensitive materials, the RC beam-column joints are bound to behave differently under different strain rates. This paper describes an investigation of seismic behavior of RC beam-column joints which are subjected to large cyclic displacements on the beam ends with three loading velocities, i.e., 0.4 mm/s, 4 mm/s and 40 mm/s respectively. The levels of strain rate on the joint core region are correspondingly estimated to be $10^{-5}/s$, $10^{-4}/s$, and $10^{-2}/s$. It is aimed to better understand the effect of strain rates on seismic behavior of beam-column joints, such as the carrying capacity and failure modes as well as the energy dissipation. From the experiments, it is observed that with the increase of loading velocity or strain rate, damage in the joint core region decreases but damage in the plastic hinge regions of adjacent beams increases. The energy absorbed in the hysteresis loops under higher loading velocity is larger than that under quasi-static loading. It is also found that the yielding load of the joint is almost independent of the loading velocity, and there is a marginal increase of the ultimate carrying capacity when the loading velocity is increased for the ranges studied in this work. However, under higher loading velocity the residual carrying capacity after peak load drops more rapidly. Additionally, the axial compression ratio has little effect on the shear carrying capacity of the beam-column joints, but with the increase of loading velocity, the crack width of concrete in the joint zone becomes narrower. The shear carrying capacity of the joint at higher loading velocity is higher than that calculated with the quasi-static method proposed by the design code. When the dynamic strengths of materials, i.e., concrete and reinforcement, are directly substituted into the design model of current code, it tends to be insufficiently safe.

Concrete technologists have used ultrasonic pulse velocity test for decades to evaluate the properties of concrete. However, the presented research work focuses on the use of ultrasonic pulse velocity test to study the degradation in steel-concrete bond subjected to increasing loading. A detailed experimental investigation was conducted by testing five identical beam specimens under increasing loading. The loading was increased from zero till failure in equal increments. From the experimentation, it was found that as the reinforced concrete beams were stressed from control unloaded condition till complete failure, the propagating ultrasonic wave velocity reduced. This reduction in wave velocity is attributed to the initiation, development, and propagation of internal cracking in the concrete surrounding the steel reinforcement. Using both direct and semidirect methods of testing, results of reduction in wave velocity with evidence of internal cracking at steel-concrete interface are presented. From the presented results and discussion, it can be concluded that the UPV test method can be successfully employed to identify zones of poor bonding along the length of reinforced concrete beam. The information gathered by such testing can be used by engineers for localizing repairs thereby leading to saving of time, labor and cost of repairs. Furthermore, the implementation strategy along with real-world challenges associated with the application of the proposed technique and area of future development have also been presented.

Nowadays CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) became widely used materials for the strengthening and retrofitting of structures. Many experimental and analytical studies are encountered at literature about strengthening beams by using this kind of materials against static loads and cyclic loads such as earthquake or wind loading for investigating their behavior. But authors did not found any study about strengthening of RC beams by using CFRP against low velocity impact and investigating their behavior. For these reasons an experimental study is conducted on totally ten strengthened RC beams. Impact loading is applied on to specimens by using an impact loading system that is designed by authors. Investigated parameters were concrete compression strength and drop height. Two different sets of specimens with different concrete compression strength tested under the impact loading that are applied by dropping constant weight hammer from five different heights. The acceleration arises from the impact loading is measured against time. The change of velocity, displacement and energy are calculated for all specimens. The failure modes of the specimens with normal and high concrete compression strength are observed under the loading of constant weight impact hammer that are dropped from different heights. Impact behaviors of beams are positively affected from the strengthening with CFRP. Measured accelerations, the number of drops up to failure and dissipated energy are increased. Finite element analysis that are made by using ABAQUS software is used for the simulation of experiments, and model gave compatible results with experiments.

콘크리트에서 염소 이온과 같은 열화물질의 이동은 응력상태 및 재령의 증가에 기인한 공극구조에 따라 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 재령 28일, 91일, 그리고 365일 양생된 OPC 콘크리트의 압축 및 인장 하중조건을 고려하여 촉진탄산화 실험을 실시하였으며, 탄산화 거동을 평가하였다. KS F 2584에 의거하여 탄산화 속도계수를 도출하였는데, 하중을 고려하지 않을 경우 탄산화 속도계수는 재령 28일 대비 재령 91일은 50.0 % 수준으로, 재령 365일에서는 44.8 % 수준으로 감소하였다. 28일 재령 시, 하중의 영향으로 인해 인장재하영역에서는 103.9 ~ 108.8 % 수준으로 압축재하영역에서는 91.9 ~ 104.6 % 수준으로 변화하였다. 재령이 증가함에 따라 탄산화 속도는 크게 감소하였는데, 30 % 인장재하영역에서는 탄산화 속도계수가 1년 경과시 47.3 % 수준으로, 60 % 인장재하영역에서는 52.5 % 수준으로 감소하였으며 30 % 압축재하영역에서는 45.8 %로, 60 % 압축재하영역에서는 44.9 % 수준으로 감소하였다. 압축재하영역 30 %에서는 공극압밀로 인해 탄산화 속도계수가 감소하였으나 하중의 증가에 따라 압축재하영역 60 %에서는 미세균열의 영향으로 탄산화 속도계수가 증가하였다. 또한 인장재하영역은 압축부와는 다르게 탄산화 속도계수가 선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

The high-velocity impact forging process with eccentric loading condition is analyzed using the explicit time integration finite element method. In order to consider the strain hardening, strain rate hardening and thermal softening effects, which are frequently observed in high-velocity deformation phenomena, the Johnson-Cook constitutive model is applied to model the workpiece. It is assumed that the material response of the dies is elastic in the study. As a result of the eccentric loading simulation, it is found that the increase of the eccentric ratio and the allowable tilting angle cause the decrease of the maximum forging load and the blow efficiency, and it is also found that the forging load and the blow efficiency generated in the high-velocity impact forging process with three-dimensional geometry can be obtained efficiently.

Nondestructive evaluation for material health monitoring is important in aerospace industries. Composite laminates are exposed to heat cyclic loading and humid environment depending on flight conditions. Cyclic heat loading and moisture absorption may lead to material degradation such as matrix breaking, debonding, and delamination. In this paper, the moisture absorption ratio was investigated by measuring the Lamb wave velocity. The composite laminates were manufactured and subjected to different thermal aging cycles and moisture absorption. For various conditions of these cycles, not only changes in weight and also ultrasonic wave velocity were measured, and the Lamb wave velocity at various levels of moisture on a carbon-epoxy plate was investigated. Results from the experiment show a linear correlation between moisture absorption ratio and Lamb wave velocity at different thermal fatigue stages. The presented method can be applied as an alternative solution in the online monitoring of composite laminate moisture levels in commercial flights.
