A passive control using flaps will be an alternative solution for flutter stability and buffeting response of a long suspension bridge. This method not only enables a lightweight economic stiffening girder without an additional stiffness for aerodynamic stability but also avoid the problems from the malfunctions of control systems and energy supply system of an active control by winglets and flaps. A time domain approach for predicting the coupled flutter and buffeting response of bridge deck with flaps is investigated. First, the flutter derivatives of bridge deck and flaps are found by experiment. Next, the derivation of time domain model of self-excited forces and control forces of sectional model is reported by using the rational function approximation. Finally, the effectiveness of passive flap control is investigated by the numerical simulation. The results show that the passive control by using flaps can increase the flutter speed and decrease the buffeting response. The experiment results are matched with numerical ones.

This paper investigates the safety of the wind turbine blade against excessive deformation. For this purpose, the performance of the blade in the along-wind direction is improved by longitudinal stiffener made of shape memory alloy. The rationale behind the selection of this smart material is due to its ability to offer excellent thermo-mechanical behaviour at low strain. Here, Liang-Roger model is adopted for vibration control, and the super-elastic effects are utilised for blade stiffening. Turbulent wind fields are generated at the hub height using TurbSim and the corresponding loads are evaluated using blade element momentum theory. An efficient switching algorithm is developed along with performance curves that enable the designer to select an optimal mode of heating depending upon the operational scenario. Numerical results presented in this paper clearly demonstrate the performance envelope of the proposed stiffener and its influence on the reliability of the blade.

강성비를 이용한 합성형교 외측강성 영향 평가의 타당성을 평가하기 위하여 동일 강성비에서 거더 간격 변화에 따른 수정계수를 해석적으로 분석하였으며, 강성비, 하중 형태, 거더 간격이 수정계수에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 현장재하시험 및 기존 설계법의 수정계수와 본 연구에서 분석된 수정계수를 비교한 결과 강성비를 이용한 외측강성 영향 평가가 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

도로교설계기준(건설교통부, 2005)에 따르면 바닥판 경간비(B/L)가 0.5이하인 박스거더교에서는 상부플랜지의 전폭이 휨 압축응력 또는 축압축응력에 대하여 유효한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 그러나 세그먼트 자중 등에 의한 휨모멘트와 케이블 수직압축력에 의한 합성응력이 발생되고 바닥판 경간비가 변하는 사장교의 시공단계에서는 전단지연의 영향범위가 다를 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 1면 케이블 콘크리트 박스 사장교를 대상으로 시공단계시 보강형에 고려되어야 할 합성응력에 의한 유효플랜 지폭을 분석하였다. 그 결과 바닥판 경간비가 0.38이하의 범위에서 보강형의 전폭을 유효플랜지폭으로 적용할 수 있는 것으로 해석되었다. 즉, 1면 케이블 박스 사장교의 경우 전단지연을 고려하여 할 범위가 박스거더교보다 커야할 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 시공단계시 변화되는 바닥판 경간비의 크기에 관계없이 전폭을 유효플랜지폭으로 반영하는 실무관행은 안전측 설계가 되지 못할 수 가 있다. 또한 시공단계시 선단부를 제외한 영역의 합성응력에 대한 검토는 바닥판 경간비가 크게 나타나는 초기 시공단계에서는 단경간 구조계로 보고 산정한 유효플랜지폭을 적용할 경우 안전측 설계가 된다. 그러나 바닥판 경간비가 작아짐에 따라서는 전폭과 캔틸레버 구조계로 유효플랜지폭을 결정하는 것이 타당한 것으로 분석되었다.

이 논문에서는 철근의 효과를 고려한 고인성 섬유 보강 콘크리트의 휨 거동을 분석하기 위해 이에 대한 휨 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 부재의 파괴 시 까지 안정적인 인장 응력을 보여주는 HPFRCC로 인해 휨 강도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 인장 철근이 항복할 때까지 균열이 국부화되지 않고 고르게 분산되는 것으로 나타났다. 단면 해석을 통해, 직접 인장 실험으로부터 측정된 인장강도를 이용하여 해석할 경우 R/HPFRCC의 휨 강도를 과대평가하는 것으로 나타난 반면, 인장 강성 실험으로부터 도출된 인장강도를 이용하여 해석할 경우 실험 결과와 비교적 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 실험 및 이론적 연구를 바탕으로 이 논문에서는 휨 파괴 기준을 단면 상단에서의 콘크리트 압축파괴에 의한 것과 단면 하단부의 인장 파괴에 의한 것으로 구분하였다. 정의된 두 가지 휨 파괴 기준에 근거하여 이 논문에서는 극한 휨 강도를 산정할 수 있는 식을 제안하였으며, 제안된 식은 R/HPFRCC 부재의 설계 및 해석에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

숏크리트의 필수 구성요소 중 하나인 급결제는 높은 pH환경에서 거동하는 경우가 많고 이를 억제하기 위해 개발된 시멘트 광물계 분말형 급결제 또한 작업시 다량의 분진 발생으로 인하여, 여러 환경적 문제를 일으키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 슬러리형의 급결제를 도입하고, 기본적인 물성 파악을 위해 숏크리트 배합에 혼화재로서 자주 활용되는 슬래그의 혼입에 따른 숏크리트 재료의 응결 및 경화특성, 강도 특성 및 염화물 이온 침투 저항성을 평가하였다. 슬래그의 혼입에 따른 응결 경화의 촉진 및 1일 압축강도의 발현은 $C_{12}A_7$과 황산칼슘의 수화반응에서 생성된 에트링가이트상의 양과 관련이 있는 것으로 보이며, 3일 강도 이후의 물성은 일반적인 규산3칼슘의 수화반응과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 염화물 이온침투 저항성의 경우, 슬래그의 혼입량이 증가하면 훨씬 개선되는 것으로 나타나, 향후 이러한 배합에 대한 내염해성의 정밀한 평가가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

This paper reports part of a comprehensive research study conducted at the University of Queensland on the ability of CFRP web-bonded systems in strengthening an exterior beam-column joint subjected to monotonic loads. One 1/2.2 scaled plain and four CFRP repaired/retrofitted joints subjected to monotonic loads were analysed using the nonlinear finite-element program ANSYS and the results were calibrated against experiments. The ANSYS model was employed in order to account for tension stiffening in concrete after cracking and a modified version of the Hognestad's model was used to model the concrete compressive strength. The stress-strain properties of main steel bars were modelled using multilinear isotropic hardening model and the FRPs were modelled as anisotropic materials. A perfect bond was assumed as nodes were shared between adjacent elements irrespective of their type. Good agreement between the numerical predictions and the experimental observation of the failure mechanisms for all specimens were observed. Closeness of these results proved that the numerical analysis can be used by design engineers for the analysis of web-bonded FRP strengthened beam-column joints with confidence.

In this paper, the efficiency and effectiveness of two strengthening methods for upgrading behavior of the two external weak reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints were experimentally investigated under cyclic loading. Since two deficient external RC joints with reduced beam height and low strength concrete were strengthened using one-way steel prop and curbs with and without steel revival sheets on the beam. The cyclic performance of these strengthened specimens were compared with two another control external RC beam-column joints, one the standard RC joint that had not two mentioned deficiencies and another had both. Therefore, four half-scale RC joints were tested under cyclic loading.The experimental results showed that these innovative strengthening methods (RC joint with revival sheet specially) surmounted the deficiencies of weak RC joints and upgraded their performance and bearing capacity, stiffness degradation, energy absorption, up to those of standard RC joint. Also, results exhibited that the prop at joint acted as a fuse element due to adding steel revival sheets on the RC beam and showed better behavior than that of the specimen without steel revival sheets. In other words by stiffening of beam, the prop collected all damages due to cyclic loading at itself and acted as the first line of defense and prevented from sever damages at RC joint.

In the past, many efficient profiles have been developed for cold-formed steel (CFS) members by judicious intermediate stiffening of the cross-sections, and they have shown improved structural performance over conventional CFS sections. Most of this research work was based on numerical modelling, thus lacking any experimental evidence of the efficiency of these sections. To fulfill this requirement, experimental studies were conducted in this study, on efficient intermediately stiffened CFS sections in flexure, which will result in easy and simple fabrication. Two series of built-up sections, open sections (OS) and box sections (BS), were fabricated and tested under four-point loading with same cross-sectional area. Test strengths, modes of failure, deformed shapes, load vs. mid-span displacements and geometric imperfections were measured and reported. The design strengths were quantified using North American Standards and Indian Standards for cold-formed steel structures. This study confirmed that efficient profiling of CFS sections can improve both the strength and stiffness performance by up to 90%. Closed sections showed better strength performance whereas open sections showed better stiffness performance.

In this paper, a modified rigid body spring model (RBSM) is proposed and used to analyze the damage and failure process of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In the proposed model, the concrete is represented by an assembly of rigid blocks connected with a uniform distribution of normal and tangential springs to simulate the macroscopic mechanical behavior of concrete. Steel bars are evenly dispersed into rigid blocks as a kind of homogeneous axial material, and an additional uniform distribution of axial and dowel springs is defined to consider the axial stiffness and dowel action of steel bars. Perfect bond between the concrete and steel bars is assumed, and tension stiffening effect of steel bars is modeled by adjusting the constitutive relationship for the tensile reinforcement. Adjacent blocks are allowed to separate at the contact interface, which makes it convenient and easy to simulate the cracking process of concrete. The failure of the springs is determined by the Mohr-Coulomb type criterion with the tension and compression caps. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by elastic analyses of a cantilever beam under different loading conditions and failure analyses of a RC beam under two-point loading.
