This paper presents a numerical model for simulating the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls subject to cyclic loadings. The material behavior of cracked concrete is described by an orthotropic constitutive relation with tension-stiffening and compression softening effects defining equivalent uniaxial stress-strain relation in the axes of orthotropy. Especially in making analytical predictions for inelastic behaviors of RC walls under reversed cyclic loading, some influencing factors inducing the material nonlinearities have been considered. A simple hysteretic stress-strain relation of concrete, which crosses the tension-compression region, is defined. Modification of the hysteretic stress-strain relation of steel is also introduced to reflect a pinching effect depending on the shear span ratio and to represent an average stress distribution in a cracked RC element, respectively. To assess the applicability of the constitutive model for RC element, analytical results are compared with idealized shear panel and shear wall test results under monotonic and cyclic shear loadings.

이 논문은 철근콘크리트 휨부재의 균열폭과 처짐 계산에 대한 해석적 모델을 제안한 것이다. 균열 안정화단계에서 철근과 콘크리트 경계면에서 발생하는 실제와 유사한 형태의 부착응력-미끌림 관계와 인장증강효과를 수치적으로 유도한 후, 균열과 균열 사이에서 철근의 매입길이 방향으로 발생하는 철근과 콘크리트의 변형률 차이가 균열면으로 누적되는 양을 계산할 수 있는 평형방정식을 이용하였다. 이로부터 두 재료의 변형량 차이로부터 평균 균열폭을 계산할 수 있는 모델과 인장증강효과를 반영한 철근의 평균변형률과 모멘트-곡률 관계를 도입하여 처짐을 계산하는 모델을 제안하였다. 이렇게 정식화된 새로운 균열폭 및 처짐 모델을 기존 문헌에 발표된 여러 연구자들의 실험자료에 적용하여 그 정확성을 검증한 결과, 제안식에 의한 예측값은 현재 사용되고 있는 여러 설계기준의 사용성 규정으로 계산한 결과와 비교할 때 실험값을 비교적 정확하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

A convenient method for enhancing the strength and stiffness of existing reinforced concrete beams is to bond adhesively steel plates to their tension faces. However, there is a limit to the applicability of tension face plating as the tension face plates are prone to premature debonding and, furthermore, the addition of the plate reduces the ductility of the beam. An alternative approach to tension face plating is to bond adhesively steel plates to the sides of reinforced concrete beams, as side plates are less prone to debonding and can allow the beam to remain ductile. Debonding at the ends of the side plates due to flexural forces, that is flexural peeling, is studied in this paper. A fundamental mathematical model for flexural peeling is developed, which is calibrated experimentally to produce design rules for preventing premature debonding of the plate-ends due to flexural forces. In the companion paper, the effect of shear forces on flexural peeling is quantified to produce design rules that are applied to the strengthening and stiffening of continuous reinforced concrete beams.

There are many theoretical analyses and experimental studies of the hydrodynamics for the tension leg platform (TLP) of a floating wind turbine. However, there has been little research on the arrangement of the TLP's internal structure. In this study, a TLP model and a 5-MW wind turbine model as proposed by the Minstitute of Technology and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have been adopted, respectively, to comprehensively analyze wind effects and wave and current combinations. The external additional coupling loads on the TLP and the effects of the loads on variables of the internal structure have been calculated. The study investigates preliminary layout parameters-namely, the thickness of the tension leg body, the contact mode of the top tower on the tension leg, the internal stiffening arrangement, and the formation of the spoke structure-and conducts sensitivity analyses of the TLP internal structure. Stress is found to be at a maximum at the top of the tension leg structure and the maximum stress has low sensitivity to the load application point. Different methods of reducing maximum stress have been researched and analyzed, and the effectiveness of these methods is analyzed. Filling of the spoke structure with concrete is discussed. Since the TLP structure for offshore wind power is still under early exploration, arrangements and the configuration of the internal structure, exploration and improvements are ongoing. With regard to its research and analysis process, this paper aims to guide future applications of tension leg structures for floating wind turbine.

철근콘크리트 휨 부재에서 현행 설계기준들의 처짐 계산 규정은 콘크리트의 균열 후 보의 휨강성이 감소하는 것을 반영한 유효 단면2차모멘트 $I_{\epsilon}$의 개념을 적용하여 부재의 최대 처짐을 계산하는 방법이 다. 그러나 균열 발생에 따른 부재의 강성 변화를 전 경간에 걸쳐 동일하게 $I_{\epsilon}$로만 적용하여 인장증강효과 등을 직접적으로 반영하지 못하고 있다. 단순보와 연속보에서의 단면2차모멘트를 기준식이 정확히 나태나고 있는지 검증하고 이를 수정하여 보다 정확한 단면2차모멘트 예측식을 제안하고자 한다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 단순보와 연속보에서의 유효 단면2차모멘트를 이론값, 실험값과 비교, 분석하고 인장증강효과가 유효 단면2차모멘트에 미치는 영향을 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 단순보에서는 콘크리트 강도 및 피복두께에 따른 주근의 비부착을 변수로 하여 총 6 개의 시험체를 제작하였고, 연속보에서는 주근의 비부착 위치에 따라 총 4 개의 시험체를 제작하였다. 실험 결과 단순보와 연속보 모두 국내 콘크리트구조설계 기준식에 의한 유효단면 2차모멘트의 이론값과 실험값이 유사한 양상을 보이는 것으로 나타났으나, 연속보에서는 이론값과 실험값의 오차가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 단순보에서 는 피복두께가 두꺼운 시험체 및 고강도 시험체가 주근의 비부착에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 연속보에서는 중앙부의 비부착이 단순보의 유효 단면2차모멘트에 비해 큰 영향일 미치는 것으로 관찰되었다.

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.

Direct tensile tests were carried out for the tensile members of steel-reinforced polymer concrete with different steel diameters and steel ratios to figure out the effect of tensile strength of polymer concrete. In the experiments, polymer concrete with $1000kgf/cm^2$ of compressive strength, steel with $5200kgf/cm^2$ of tensile strength, and the tensile members with 100 cm of constant length were used. Experimental results showed that, regardless of steel diameters and steel content, the strain energy exerted by concrete till the initial crack was 14-15% of the total energy till the point of yield: The energy was much larger than the one of high-strength cement concrete. The behaviors of tensile members of steel-reinforced polymer concrete were in relatively good agreement with the model suggested by Gupta-Maestrini (1990), which was idealized by the effective tensile stress-strain relationship of concrete and the load-strain relationship of members, while those showed a big difference from CEB-FIP model and ACI-224 equation suggested for the load-displacement relationship that was defined as the cross sectional stiffness of effective axis. Modified ACI-224 model code about the load-displacement relationship for the tensile members of steel-reinforced polymer concrete and theoretical equation for the polymer concrete tensile stiffness of polymer concrete suggested through the results of this study are expected to be used in an accurate structural analysis and design for the polymer concrete structural members.

Uncertainty in concrete properties, including concrete modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture, are predicted by developing a microstructural homogenization model. The homogenization model is developed by analyzing a concrete representative volume element (RVE) using the finite element (FE) method. The concrete RVE considers concrete as a three phase composite material including: cement paste, aggregate and interfacial transition zone (ITZ). The homogenization model allows for considering two sources of variability in concrete, randomly dispersed aggregates in the concrete matrix and uncertain mechanical properties of composite phases of concrete. Using the proposed homogenization technique, the uncertainty in concrete modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture (described by numerical cumulative probability density function) are determined. Deflection uncertainty of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, propagated from uncertainties in concrete properties, is quantified using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. Cracked plane frame analysis is used to account for tension stiffening in concrete. Concrete homogenization enables a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between concrete materials and structural modeling, which is necessary for realistic serviceability prediction.

The objective of this paper is to analyse the high-strength concrete columns subjected to reversed cyclic and axial loads by using nonlinear analysis model and compare the experimental results with analysis. The analytical parameters are the compressive strength of concrete, spacing of lateral reinforcement and lateral reinforcement ratio. In this study, the proposed analytical model takes ito account the influence of confined concrete, tension stiffening and strain hardening of steel. The high-strength concrete columns are used to model fiber section element. The analysis results are shown comparatively good prediction on envelope curve, accumulative dissipated energy, deformability and so on.
