The factors affecting the shear strength of the angle shear connectors in the steel-concrete composite beams can play an important role to estimate the efficacy of a composite beam. Therefore, the current study has aimed to verify the output of shear capacity of angle shear connector according to the input provided by Support Vector Machine (SVM) coupled with Firefly Algorithm (FFA). SVM parameters have been optimized through the use of FFA, while genetic programming (GP) and artificial neural networks (ANN) have been applied to estimate and predict the SVM-FFA models' results. Following these results, GP and ANN have been applied to develop the prediction accuracy and generalization capability of SVM-FFA. Therefore, SVM-FFA could be performed as a novel model with predictive strategy in the shear capacity estimation of angle shear connectors. According to the results, the Firefly algorithm has produced a generalized performance and be learnt faster than the conventional learning algorithms.

벤더엘리먼트가 장착된 삼축압축시험장비를 이용하여 모래에 대한 일련의 압밀배수시험을 수행하였다. 상대밀도 및 유효구속응력 조건을 달리하여 각각의 조건별 응력-변형률 관계를 측정하였으며, 압밀이 종료된 시점에서의 전단파 속도를 측정함으로써 전단파 속도와 간극비, 유효응력, 그리고 전단강도와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 미소변형률에서의 전단파 속도로부터 계산된 최대전단탄성계수와 파괴 시의 축응력과 압밀 시의 구속응력의 합으로 정의되는 유효수직응력간에는 고유한 상관관계가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 도출된 전단탄성계수와 유효수직응력간의 상관관계는 유효구속응력을 정규화시킴으로써 정확도를 향상시켰다. 본 연구를 통해 제시된 상관관계를 통해 전단강도 및 내부 마찰각을 예측하였을 시, 실제 실내 시험을 통해 산출된 내부 마찰각을 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 미소변형률에서의 전단파 속도를 기반으로 신뢰성 높은 파괴 시 전단강도, 나아가 내부 마찰각까지 예측이 가능하다는 것을 의미하며 기존 SPT-N value와 경험식을 통해 내부 마찰각을 예측하여 설계에 적용하는 방식의 불확실성을 개선해 줄 수 있는 매우 유용한 방법이라고 판단된다.

Shear lag phenomenon has long been considered in numerous structural codes; however, the AISC provisions have now no longer proposed any unique equation to calculate the shear lag ratio in bolted connections for angles in general. It is noticeable that, however, codes used in this case are largely conservative and need to be amended. A parametric study consisting of 27 angle sections with equal legs and different with bolted connections was performed to investigate the effects of shear lag on the ultimate tensile capacity of angle members. The main parameters were: steel grade, connection length and eccentricity from the center of the plate, as well as the number of rows of bolts parallel to the applied force. The test results were compared with the predictions of the classical 1-x/l law proposed by Mons and Chesen to investigate its application to quantify the effect of shear lag. A parametric study was performed using valid FE models that cover a wide range of parameters. Finally, based on the numerical results, design considerations were proposed to quantify the effect of shear lag on the ultimate tensile capacity of the tensile members.

The response of a reinforced concrete element under cyclic shear is characterized by the hysteretic loops of the shear stress-strain curves. These hysteretic loops can exhibit strength deterioration, stiffness degradation, and a pinched shape. Recent tests have shown that the orientation of steel grids in RC shear elements has a strong effect on the "pinching effect" in the post-yield hysteretic loops. When the steel grid was set at a 45 degree angle to the shear plane, there was no pinching effect and no strength deterioration. However, when the steel grid was set parallel to the shear plane, there was a severe pinching effect and severe strength deterioration with increasing shear strain magnitude. In this paper, two RC elements subjected to revered cyclic shear stresses are considered to study the effect of the steel grid orientation. The presence and absence of the pinching mechanism in the post-yield shear hysteretic loops is studied using the Rotating Angle Softened Truss Model (RA-STM) theory.

The aim of the work described in this paper is to study the shear characteristics of the weathered granite soil. To this end, a series of consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests are carried out to investigate the shear parameters-cohesion and internal friction angle for the degree of saturation and degree of weathering. From the results, it is found that the shear parameters of weathered granite soil are influenced on the degree of saturation, degree of weathering and disturbance. Especially, internal friction angle is more influenced on the upper factors than cohesion. And shear parameters are more acted on the degree of saturation than the degree of weathering in the test range. It is, therefore, recommended that must be considered the conditions of granite soil-degree of saturation, degree of weathering and disturbance etc-in case of the calculation of bearing capacity, stability analysis and other designs with shear parameters.

A new theoretical fabric shear model has been presented and a quantitative study has been conducted on the shear properties of polyethylene(terephthalate)(PET) fabrics of four different fabric densities and five different weight reduction. The fabric shear properties were measured with KES-F handle measurement system. From the theoretical and experimental studies, following results can be summarized : 1) The fabric shear behavior is strongly dependent on the fabric density and free volume available for the constituent yarns and their filament. 2) Shear hysteresis at the small shear angle(2HG) is dependent more on the yarn tensile properties than on the fabric structure. 3) Shear hysteresis at the shear angle, 5(2HG5) is dependent more on the interaction between two crossing yarns which is directly related on the fabric structure than on the yarn tensile properties.

In the precast segmental method of construction, segments of a structure are precast, assembled, and tied together by post-tensioning to form the structure. Shear strength and behavior of points in precast concrete structures are important problems in the design of these structures. An experimental program was set up study the shear behavior of precast concrete shear keys. experimental models of keyed joints include a single key, representing one of a series include the shear key shape, d/h ratio(1/4, 1/5, 1/7), and inclined angle (45。 60。 75。). Two different types of joints, i.e., epoxied joint and dry joints were studied. From the present tests, it is found that epoxied joints have higher shear strength than those of dry joints, and that high d/h ratio keys have higher shear strength than those of low d/h ratio keys. The keys with 60。-inclined angle shows the highest shear strength among various angles.

Wall shear rate or stress is believed to be a major hemodynamic variable influencing atherosclerosis and artery-graft anastomic intimal hyperplasia. The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of radial wall motion, artery-graft compliance and diameter mismatch, and impedance phase angle on the wall shear rate distribution near an end-to-end artery-graft anastomosis model. The results show that radial wall motion of the elastic artery model lowers the mean wall shear rates under pulsatile flow condition by 15 to 20 % comparing to those under steady flow condition at the same mean flow rate. Impedance phase angle seems to have small effects on the mean and amplitude of the wall shear rate distribution. In order to study the effects of compliance and diameter mismatch on the wall shear rates, two models are studied-Model I has 6% and Model I has 6% and Model II has 11% smaller graft diameter. Divergent geometry caused by diameter mismatch near the distal sites reduces the mean wall shear rates significantly, and this low shear region is believed to be prone to intimal hyperplasia.

집중호우로 인하여 산악지반에 발생하는 토석류의 거동은 대상지반 세립분의 전단강도 및 유변학적 특성들에 의하여 영향을 받기 때문에, 두 특성에 대한 정수는 토석류 거동을 파악하는데 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 직접전단 실험을 통하여 세립분의 전단강도 및 유변학적 정수를 평가하고자 하였다. 건조상태와 액성한계상태로 조성된 두 가지 세립분 시료에 대하여 직접 전단실험을 수행하였으며, 연직응력에 따른 전단강도를 측정하여 점착력과 내부마찰각을 산정하였다. 또한 액성한계로 조성된 시료의 잔류전단강도를 획득하기 위하여 전단변형률속도와 전단방향을 변화시켜 반복전단실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 액성한계상태의 시료는 건조 상태 시료에 비해 내부마찰각은 작지만 점착력은 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 잔류전단강도를 통해 산정한 내부마찰각과 점착력은 첨두전단강도에 의해 산정된 결과보다 작은 것으로 나타났다. 반복전단 결과, 전단변형률속도와 잔류전단강도는 선형적인 관계를 보였으며, 전단변형률속도-잔류전단강도 관계의 기울기로써 결정되는 점성은 약 $73.60Pa{\cdot}s$로 산정되었다. 본 연구는 직접전단 장비가 산악지반 토석류 거동과 관련된 세립분의 전단강도 및 유변학적 정수 산정에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있음을 보여준다.

Steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is known as one of the efficient modern composites that can greatly enhance the material performance of cracked concrete in tension. Such improved tensile resistance mechanism at crack interfaces in SFRC members can be heavily influenced by methodologies of treatments of crack direction. While most existing studies have focused on developing the numerical analysis model with the rotating-angle theory, there are only few studies on finite element analysis models with the fixed-angle model approach. According to many existing experimental studies, the direction of principal stress rotated after the formation of initial fixed-cracks, but it was also observed that new cracks with completely different angles relative to the initial crack direction very rarely occurred. Therefore, this study introduced the direct tension force transfer model (DTFTM), in which tensile resistance of the fibers at the crack interface can be easily estimated, to the nonlinear finite element analysis algorithm with the fixed-angle theory, and the proposed model was also verified by comparing the analysis results to the SFRC shear panel test results. The secant modulus method adopted in this study for iterative calculations in nonlinear finite element analysis showed highly stable and fast convergence capability when it was applied to the fixed-angle theory. The deviation angle between the principal stress direction and the fixed-crack direction significantly increased as the tensile stresses in the steel fibers at crack interfaces increased, which implies that the deviation angle is very important in the estimation of the shear behavior of SFRC members.
