The paper presents an effective stiffness model for deformational analysis of reinforced concrete cracked members in bending throughout the short-term loading up to the near failure. The method generally involves the analytical derivation of an effective moment of inertia based on the smeared crack technique. The method, in a simplified way, enables us to take into account the non linear properties of concrete, the effects of cracking and tension stiffening. A statistical analysis has shown that proposed technique is of adequate accuracy of calculated and experimental deflections data provided for beams with small, average and normal reinforcement ratios.

We propose a new shape of cylindrical shell formed by multiples vaults which gives a self-stiffening against buckling. By an experimental and numerical study of cylindrical shells with a repeated defect, on the circumferential direction made only of outside oriented wave-defects, we show that multiple vault cylindrical shells can have a good behaviour in buckling. An optimal behaviour is obtained by optimization of the vaults number, with conduces to a special multiple vault cylindrical shell named "ASTER shell".

As a novel typical wind-sensitive structure, the wind load and wind-induced structural behaviors of super-large straight-cone cooling towers are in an urgent need to be addressed and studied. A super large straight-cone steel cooling tower (189 m high, the highest in Asia) that is under construction in Shanxi Power Plant in China was taken as an example, for which four finite element models corresponding to four structural types: the main drum; main drum + stiffening rings; main drum + stiffening rings + auxiliary rings (auxiliary rings are hinged with the main drum and the ground respectively); and main drum + stiffening rings + auxiliary rings (auxiliary rings are fixed onto the main drum and the ground respectively), were established to compare and analyze the dynamic properties and force transferring paths of different models. After that, CFD method was used to conduct numerical simulation of flow field and mean wind load around the cooling tower. Through field measurements and wind tunnel tests at home and abroad, the reliability of using CFD method for numerical simulation was confirmed. On the basis of this, the surface flow and trail characteristics of the tower at different heights were derived and the wind pressure distribution curves for the internal and external surfaces at different heights of the tower were studied. Finally, based on the calculation results of wind-induced responses of the four models, the effects of stiffening rings, auxiliary rings, and different connecting modes on the dynamic properties and wind-induced responses of the tower structure were derived and analyzed; meanwhile, the effect mechanism of internal suction on such kind of cooling tower was discussed. The study results could provide references to the structure selection and wind resistance design of such type of steel cooling towers.

이 논문은 철근콘크리트 구조 부재의 인장증강효과에 대한 해석적 모델을 제안한 것이다. 이 모델의 정식화를 위해 철근과 콘크리트 경계면에서 발생하는 실제와 유사한 형태의 부착응력과 미끌림 특성과 쪼갬균열의 영향을 고려하였다. 균열 안정화 단계에서의 철근 경계면 미끌림 분포를 선형으로 가정하고, 균열이 발생한 부재의 중앙 단면에서 콘크리트의 분담력이 일정하다는 조건을 CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 및 Eurocode 2에서 제시하고 있는 부착응력-미끌림 관계에 적용하였다. 이로부터 균열 안정화단계에서 부착응력에 의해 철근의 매입길이 방향으로 변화하는 철근의 변형률과 콘크리트 분담력을 계산할 수 있는 평형방정식을 유도하고, 변형적합조건을 고려하여 철근의 평균 변형률과 콘크리트 평균 분담력으로 동시에 표현이 가능한 인장강성 계수를 제안하였다. 이로부터 새롭게 정식화된 인장증강효과 모델을 기존 문헌에 발표된 여러 연구자들의 실험 자료에 적용하여 그 정확성을 검증한 결과, 제안식에 의한 예측값은 실험값을 비교적 정확하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

이 논문은 철근콘크리트 구조부재의 사용성능 검증을 위한 균열폭과 처짐을 산정할 수 있는 새로운 계산 방법을 제안하고 이를 자동으로 계산할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발한 것이다. 이를 위하여 콘크리트의 재료특성을 포물-사각형 응력-변형률 곡선으로 반영한 철근응력과 피복두께의 영향을 반영한 인장증강 계수를 이용한 곡률을 계산할 수 있는 수치 모델링을 실시하였다. 이와 함께 균열폭과 처짐을 계산하는데 필요한 인장증강효과와 유효인장단면적은 균열이 발생한 휨부재 단면의 인장영역을 인장 현재로 이상화하여 정의하였다. 그리고 수정된 인장증강 계수를 이용하여 유효곡률을 계산하였다. 제안된 균열폭과 처짐 산정 방법을 이용하여 여러 연구자들이 수행한 실험 자료를 계산한 결과, 현행 설계기준들의 규정보다 실험값을 비교적 정확하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, effect of recycled aggregates and polypropylene fibers on the response of conventionally reinforced concrete element subjected to tensile loading in terms of tension stiffening and strain development was experimentally investigated. For this purpose, concrete prisms of 100 × 100 mm cross section and 500 mm length having one central deformed steel re-bar were cast using fibrous and non-fibrous Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) with varying percentages of recycled aggregates (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and tested under uniaxial tensile load. For all fibrous RAC mixes, polypropylene fibers were used at constant dosage of 3.15 kg/㎥. Effect of recycled aggregates and fibers on the compressive strength of concrete was also explored in this study. Through studying tensile load versus global axial deformation of composite and strain development in concrete and steel, it was found that replacement of natural aggregates with recycled aggregates in concrete negatively affected the cracking load, tension stiffening and strain development, and this negative effect was observed to be increased with increasing contents of recycled aggregates in concrete. The results of this study showed that it was possible to minimize the negative effect of recycled aggregates in concrete by the addition of polypropylene fibers. Reinforced concrete element constructed using concrete containing 50% recycled aggregates and polypropylene fibers exhibited cracking behavior, tension stiffening and strain development response almost similar to that of concrete element constructed using natural aggregate concrete without fiber.

최근에 이르기까지 철근콘크리트 휨부재에 있어 콘크리트의 인장응력은 극한강도에 현저한 영향을 미치지 못하기 때문에 그 역할이 고려되어지지 않았다. 그러나 하중-처짐 관계의 구명을 위해서는, 인장증강효과라고 불리는 콘크리트와 보강철근 사이의 인장응력에 의한 강정증가 효과가 반드시 고려되어져야 한다. 이러한 인장증강효과에 영향을 주는 주요 구조변수는 콘크리트의 강도 및 콘크리트와 철근의 부착 등으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 휨을 받는 보를 대상으론 각기 다른 콘크리트 강도, 피복두께 및 주근의 비부착 길이를 갖도록 모두 20개의 시험체를 제작하여 실험하였다. 이를 통해 각 구조변수들이 시험체의 휨강성, 균열발생 및 진전 등에 미치는 영향 등을 주의 깊게 관찰하고 분석하였다.

Stiffeners can be utilised to enhance the strength of thin-walled wind turbine towers in engineering practise, thus, structural performance of wind turbine towers by means of different stiffening schemes should be compared to explore the optimal structural enhancement method. In this paper two alternative stiffening methods, employing horizontal or vertical stiffeners, for steel tubular wind turbine towers have been studied. In particular, two groups of three wind turbine towers of 50m, 150m and 250m in height, stiffened by horizontal rings and vertical strips respectively, were analysed by using FEM software of ABAQUS. For each height level tower, the mass of the stiffening rings is equal to that of vertical stiffeners each other. The maximum von Mises stresses and horizontal sways of these towers with vertical stiffeners is compared with the corresponding ring-stiffened towers. A linear buckling analysis is conducted to study the buckling modes and critical buckling loads of the three height levels of tower. The buckling modes and eigenvalues of the 50m, 150m and 250m vertically stiffened towers were also compared with those of the horizontally stiffened towers. The numbers and central angles of the vertical stiffeners are considered as design variables to study the effect of vertical stiffeners on the structural performance of wind turbine towers. Following an extensive parametric study, these strengthening techniques were compared with each other and it is obtained that the use of vertical stiffeners is a more efficient approach to enhance the stability and strength of intermediate and high towers than the use of horizontal rings.
