In this study, a new stopping criterion, called "backward controlled stopping criterion" (BCSC), was proposed to be used in Genetic Algorithms. In the study, the available stopping citeria; adaptive stopping citerion, evolution time, fitness threshold, fitness convergence, population convergence, gene convergence, and developed stopping criterion were applied to the following four comparison problems; high strength concrete mix design, pre-stressed precast concrete beam, travelling salesman and reinforced concrete deep beam problems. When completed the analysis, the developed stopping criterion was found to be more accomplished than available criteria, and was able to research a much larger area in the space design supplying higher fitness values.

To improve concrete tensile strength and bending strength, New plan that have more economical and simple manufacture process is groped. By an alternative plan, chemical pre-stressed concrete is presented. In this study, we analyzed the rheological properties of cement paste with the kind and replacement ratio of k-type CSA type expansive additives that is used mainly in domestic. and we suggested that the algorithm of a mixing plan in the chemical pre-stressed concrete and from this, we presented the basic report for the right mixing plan. From the results, Flow increased more or less according to use of expansive additives. This phenomenon was observed by increasing paste amount that shows as substitution for expansive additives that specific gravity is smaller than that of cement. As linear regression a result supposing paste that mix expansive additives by Bingham plastic fluid. The shear rate and shear stress expressed high interrelationship. therefore, flow analysis of quantitative was available. The plastic viscosity following to replacement ratio of expansive additives is no change almost, the yield value is decreased in proportion to the added amount of expansive additives. Through this experiment, we could evaluate rheological properties of cement paste using the expansive additives. Hereafter by an additional experiment, we must confirm stability assessment of material separation by using the aggregate with the kind and replacement ratio of expansive additives.

The seismic sequence which hit the Northern Italian territory in 2012 produced extensive damage to reinforced concrete (RC) precast buildings typically adopted as industrial facilities. The considered damaged buildings are constituted by one-storey precast structures with RC columns connected to the ground by means of isolated socket foundations. The roof structural layout is composed of pre-stressed RC beams supporting pre-stressed RC floor elements, both designed as simply supported beams. The observed damage pattern, already highlighted in previous earthquakes, is mainly related to insufficient connection strength and ductility or to the absence of mechanical devices, being the connections designed neglecting seismic loads or neglecting displacement and rotation compatibility between adjacent elements. Following the vulnerabilities emerged in past seismic events, the paper investigates the seismic performance of industrial facilities typical of the Italian territory. The European building code seismic assessment methodologies are presented and discussed, as well as the retrofit interventions required to achieve an appropriate level of seismic capacity. The assessment procedure and retrofit solutions are applied to a selected case study.

Load testing is one of the important tests to determine if the structural elements can be used at the intended locations for which they have been designed. It is nothing but gradually applying the loads and measuring the deflections and other parameters. It is usually carried out to determine the behaviour of the system under service/ultimate loads. It helps to identify the maximum load that the structural element can withstand without much deflection/deformation. It will also help find out which part of the element causes failure first. The load-deflection behaviour of the road bridge girder has been studied by carrying out the load test after simulating the field conditions to the extent possible. The actual vertical displacement of the beam at mid span due to the imposed load was compared with the theoretical deflection of the beam. Further, the recovery of deflection at mid span was also observed on removal of the test load. Finally, the beam was checked for any cracks to assert if the beam was capable of carrying the intended live loads and that it could be used with confidence.

The control of the deformative behaviour of pre-stressed concrete roof elements for a satisfactory service performance is a main issue of their structural design. Slender light-weight wing-shaped roof elements, typical of the European heritage, are particularly sensitive to this problem. The paper presents the results of deformation measurements during storage and of both torsional-flexural and purely flexural load tests carried out on a full-scale 40.5 m long innovative wing-shaped roof element. An element-based simplified integral procedure that de-couples the evolution of the deflection profile with the progressive shortening of the beam is adopted to catch the experimental visco-elastic behaviour of the element and the predictions are compared with normative close-form solutions. A linear 3D fem model is developed to investigate the torsional-flexural behaviour of the member. A mechanical non-linear beam model is used to predict the purely flexural behaviour of the roof member in the pre- and post-cracking phases and to validate the loss prediction of the adopted procedure. Both experimental and numerical results highlight that the adopted analysis method is viable and sound for an accurate simulation of the service behaviour of precast roof elements.

본 연구는 탄소섬유시트, 아라미드섬유시트, 그리고 유리섬유시트를 혼합한 하이브리드 FRP 플레이트를 제작하였으며, 제작한 보강 플레이트를 보강한 후, 최대한의 휨 보강 효과가 발생되도록 다시 보강 플레이를 긴장시켜 RC보의 휨 보강 효과를 파악하고자 하였다. 또한, 긴장시키는 보강방법을 제시하는 동시에 무보강 실험체에 비해 보강효과가 어느 정도 되는지 실험적으로 규명하기 위해 실험적 연구를 진행하였다. 연구를 위해 총 8개의 RC 보 부재를 동일하게 제작하여 1 개의 실험체(N 실험체)를 제외한 7 개의 실험체는 보강재 종류, 단부 정착 앵커 개수, 보강재 두께 등을 주요 변수로 하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 휨 거동을 보이는 실험체에 긴장을 가한 FRP 플레이트로 보강하면, 보강하지 않은 실험체에 비해 우수한 휨거동(초기강도, 항복시 강도 및 강성, 최대강도 등)보여 주었으며, 단부정착 앵커의 개수가 많고, 보강재의 두께(보강량)가 클수록 보강효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 긴장시킨 보강재는 단일 FRP 플레이트에 비해, 하이브리드 FRP 플레이트를 적용했을 때 보강효과가 더 우수하게 나타났다.

As the computer related technology evolves a study for a practical use of real structure as well as its hteory for optimum design has been greatly advanced. But the study on optimum design of pre-stressed concrete beam(PSC-beam) bridge for the construction of national roads and highways in Korea is not sufficient. Since a standard section for the PSC-beam is proposed, it is practically used in designing the PSC-beam. It is noticed that the section using the current standard PSC-beam design to be an over-designed with its surplus safety factor. Therefore, it is necessary to consider economical PSC-beam section which automatically satisfies all requirement of design specifications. Thus, in this study, the optimum design methods of PSC-beam are carried out using the gradient-based search method and global search method. As a result of the optimum design method, it was confirmed that the design of PSC-beam has a serious properties to non-linearity and discontinuity. And the section that in economical and efficinet design methods than the current standard design method is proposed.

차세대 고속철은 주행 속도가 점점 증가하므로 이를 반영한 고속철 차량 통과교량에 대한 새로운 주행 안정성의 평가가 요구된다. 이를 위하여 현재 공용 중인 경부 고속철 구간의 대표 교량형식인 PSC (Pre-stressed Concrete) 박스거더 교량을 대상으로 관성질량을 고려한 38-자유도 차량과 궤도 불규칙성과 상호 작용력을 반영하여 모형화하였으며, 고속철 차량 주행속도 별로 동적 수치해석을 수행하여 주행 안정성을 평가하였다. 수치해석을 통해 단순교와 2 경간 연속교의 최대 수직 변위와 DAF (Dynamic Amplification Factor; 동적확대계수)를 산출하여 동적 안정성 여부를 판단하였으며, 또한 주행 속도 별 최대 수직 변위를 추정하기 위한 3차 다항 회귀 분석식을 제안하였다. 대표적인 주행 속도와 횡 단면 위치 별 수직 변위 차이를 비교하고, 종 방향 최대 면틀림을 분석하였다. 또한, 고속철 차량의 교량통과 중 교량의 수직변위에 대한 가속도 영향선과 각 항목 간의 연관성을 분석하여 주행 안정성을 평가하였다.
