The reinforced concrete shear walls are being widely used in the domestic high-rise residential complex buildings. If designed by current codes, the special boundary element is needed in almost all high-rise shear wall buildings. This is because the equation for determining the provision of the special boundary element in the current codes cannot reflect the characteristics of the domestic high-rise shear walls with high axial load ratio and high proportion of elastic displacement to total displacement. In this study, a new equation to be able to reflect the characteristics is proposed. By using the equation, the special boundary element may not be necessary in certain cases so that structural engineers can relieve the burden of installing the special boundary element in every high-rise shear wall.

이 논문에서는 최근 강화된 내진규정에 의하여 현장에서 시공에 어려움을 겪고 있는 특수전단벽의 배근상세를 완화할 목적으로 제안된 경계요소 횡보강상세에 대하여 횡보강근의 형태와 배근간격에 따른 실험결과를 제시하고 있다. 실험결과, 제안된 횡보강 상세를 채용한 실험체의 균열 및 파괴양상은 폐쇄형 후프를 사용한 실험체와 유사한 경향을 나타내었으며, 최대강도도 예상값을 모두 상회하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 에너지 소산능력을 비교한 결과, 완화된 배근상세를 따르는 실험체(SSWR2)의 경우 기존 설계기준의 특수전단벽 실험체(SSW2)와 유사한 내진성능을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 설계기준에서 제시하고 있는 1.5% 수준의 변형각 조건을 충분히 만족하고 있어 구조물의 주요 횡력저항 요소로서 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a complete analysis of soil-structure interaction problems is presented which includes a modelling of the near surrounding of the building (near-field) and a special description of the wave propagation process in larger distances (far-field). In order to reduce the computational effort which can be very high for time domain analysis of wave propagation problems, a special approach based on similarity transformation of the infinite domain on the near-field/far-field interface is applied for the wave radiation of the far-field. The near-field is discretised with standard Finite Elements, which also allows to introduce non-linear material behaviour. In this paper, a new approach to calculate the involved convolution integrals is presented. This approximation in time leads to a dramatically reduced computational effort for long simulation times, while the accuracy of the method is not affected. Finally, some benchmark examples are presented, which are compared to a coupled Finite Element/Boundary Element approach. The results are in excellent agreement with those of the coupled Finite Element/Boundary Element procedure, while the accuracy is not reduced. Furthermore, the presented approach is easy to incorporate in any Finite Element code, so the practical relevance is high.

The temperature distributions inside molds with heating or cooling tubes were calculated using special boundary element method. This special boundary element method was employed in order to reduce the error for small diameter tubes. Calculated temperature was compared with results using finite element method. It was found that the current method becomes more accurate as tubes' diameter gets smaller. Optimal arrangement of tubes for uniform temperature distribution along specific surface was found. CONMIN program was employed for the optimization.

Meshless particle method is a numerical technique which does not use the concept of element. This method can easily handle special engineering problems which cause difficulty in the use of finite element method, however it has a drawback that essential boundary condition is not satisfied. In this paper, several studies for satisfying essential boundary conditions and enhancing the accuracy of solutions are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on a new numerical technique in which finite elements are used on the boundaries to satisfy the essential boundary conditions and meshless particle method is used in the interior domain. For coupling of the two methods interface elements are introduced into the zone between the subdomains using meshless particle method and finite element method. The shape functions and the approximated displacement functions of the interface element are derived with the ramp function based on the shape function of finite elements. The whole numerical procedures are formulated by Galerkin method. Several numerical examples for enhancing the accuracy of solution in the meshless particle method and a new coupling method are presented.

This research presents the nonlinear analysis model for reinforced concrete shear wall systems with special boundary elements as proposed by the Korean Building Code (KBC, 2009). In order to verify the analysis model, analytical results were compared with the experimental results obtained from previous studies. Established analytical model was used to perform nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. Analytical results showed that the semi-special shear wall improved significantly the performance in terms of ductility and energy dissipation as expected based on previous test results. Furthermore, nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis was performed using 20 ground motions. Based on computer analytical results, the ordinary shear wall, special shear wall and newly proposed semi-special shear wall systems were evaluated based on the methods in FEMA P965. The results based on the probabilistic approaches accounting for inherent uncertainties showed that the semi-special shear wall systems provide a high capacity/demand (ACMR) ratio owing to their details, which provide enough capacity to sustain large inelastic deformations.

In this work, the iterative coupling of finite element and boundary element methods for the investigation of coupled fluid-fluid, solid-solid and fluid-solid wave propagation models is reviewed. In order to perform the coupling of the two numerical methods, a successive renewal of the variables on the common interface between the two sub-domains is performed through an iterative procedure until convergence is achieved. In the case of local nonlinearities within the finite element sub-domain, it is straightforward to perform the iterative coupling together with the iterations needed to solve the nonlinear system. In particular, a more efficient and stable performance of the coupling procedure is achieved by a special formulation that allows to use different time steps in each sub-domain. Optimized relaxation parameters are also considered in the analyses, in order to speed up and/or to ensure the convergence of the iterative process.

2차원 포텐셜 문제를 해석하기 위해 고차의 르장드르 형상함수에 기초를 둔 p-수렴 경계요소법이 제안되었다. p-수렴 경계요소법은 종래의 경계요소법에서 사용되는 형상함수와 성질이 다른 르장드르 다항식을 형상함수로 사용한다. p-수렴 유한요소법과 마찬가지로 고차의 형상함수에 따른 절점의 위치가 경계상에서 정해지지 않는다. 따라서 형상함수가 증가함에 따라 선형방정식을 구성하기 위한 수단으로 선점법을 이용하였다. p-수렴 경계요소법에서 선점법은 비대칭 계층적 선점법과 대칭 비계층적 선점법을 선택하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 선택점들은 형상함수가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 성질을 나타내며 계층적 또는 대칭적으로 선택될 수 있다. p-수렴 경계요소법에서 나타나는 특이 적분항을 계산하기 위해 special numeric quadrature technique와 semi-analytical integration technique를 사용하였다. 사각모서리부에서 특이성을 가지는 L-형 영역문제를 해석한 결과 적은 수의 자유도에서 기존문헌의 결과와 차이가 거의 없는 정도인 $10^{-2}%$단위 이하의 정확도를 보여주었다. 또한 같은 조건에서는 대칭형 선점의 위치를 이용해 계산한 값이 가장 높은 정확도를 보여주었다.

In this paper, a new algorithm of coupling Element-Free Galerkin Method(EFGM) and Boundary Element Method(BEM) using the variational formulation is presented. A global variational coupling formulation of EFGM-BEM is achieved by combining the variational form on each subregion. In the formulation, Lagrange multiplier method is introduced to satisfy the compatibility conditions between EFGM subregion and BEM subregion. Some numerical examples are studied to verify accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, in which numerical performance of the method is compared with that of conventional method such as EFGM-BEM direct coupling method, EFGM and BEM. The proposed method incorporating the merits of EFGM and BEM is expected to be applied to special engineering problems such as the crack propogation problems in very large domain, and underground structures with joints.
