The constant rate of strain (CRS) consolidation test has been widely used to evaluate consolidation characteristics of soils instead of the standard Incremental Loading Test. In practical problems, after the ground improvement, the condition of the soil is over-consolidated. Therefore, it is important to determine the recompression indices and the coefficient of consolidation(or the coefficient of swelling) of unloading-reloading cycle to predict the settlement behavior. However, since standard testing procedures or studies related with strain rate are insufficient especially in unloading-reloading cycle, it is difficult to predict the settlement field behavior accurately from the CRS consolidation test results in spite of its lots of strengths. The several CRS consolidation tests were performed changing the unloading strain rate from 0.2%/hr to 20%/hr with vertical drainage condition using the reconstituted kaolinite sample. For the reconstituted kaolinite sample in CRS consolidation test, the recompression indices are insensitive to the strain rate. It is revealed that the coefficient of consolidation of reloading is affected by the developed pore pressure during unloading. Additionally, the test should be conducted in the positive pore pressure ratio range (3~15%) to obtain the reasonable coefficient of consolidation in the whole range(loading, unloading and reloading).

Experimental investigation into the behaviour of half-scale brick masonry panels were conducted under cyclic loading normal to the bed joint and parallel to the bed joint. For each cycle, full reloading was performed with the cycle peaks coinciding approximately with the envelope curve. Unloading, however, was carried out fully to zero stress level and partially to two different stress levels of 25 percent and 50 percent of peak stress. Stability point limit exhibits a unique stress-strain curve for full unloading but it could not be established for partial unloading. Common point limit was established for all unloading-reloading patterns considered, but its location depends on the stress level at which unloading is carried to. Common point curves were found to follow an exponential formula, while residual strains versus envelope strains can be expressed by a polynomial function of a single term. The relation between residual strain and envelope strain can be used to determine the stress level at which deterioration due to cyclic loading began.

한 cycle의 이력곡선 loop을 완전히 표현하기 위해서는 pinch force, drift offset, effective stiffness, unloading, reloading, tangential stiffness 등의 변수가 필요하게 된다. 각 이력 loop에 대해 이들 변수들은 에너지 소산정도에 따라 변위와 축력의 함수로 표현될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 16개의 전단벽 실험에서 얻어진 이력곡선 데이타를 분석하여 앞에 기술된 모든 변수를 표준화된 변위(.DELTA/.DELTA.y)의 함수로 표현했으며 이를 바탕으로 이력곡선의 포락선으로 표현되는 힘-변위관계를 예측할 수 있는 6개의 step을 제시하였다. 제시된 기법으로 구해진 비탄성 힘-변위관계는 실험곡선과 비교되었으며 내진설계에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소중 하나인 구조물의 비탄성 힘-변위관계를 예측하는 편리한 기법으로 이용될 수 있음을 보였다.

벽체 변위가 제한되는 옹벽 구조물에 작용하는 토압은 시공 중 뒷채움토에 작용하는 다짐응력의 영향에 따라 변화한다. 정지토압을 보다 적절하게 추정하기 위해서는 이러한 영향을 고려하여 정지토압계수를 산정하여야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 다짐 화강풍화토에 대해서 정지토압상태에서 흙이 받는 응력의 재하, 제하, 재 재하 단계를 모사하는 응력이력모델을 단주기 $K_o$-삼축시험으로 재현하였다. 실험결과로부터 각 하중단계의 응력이력조건에 대한 정지상태토압을 결정하였다. 이들 값을 경험식으로부터 얻은 값과 비교하여 다짐 화강풍화토에 대한 정지토압계수 결정을 위한 경험식의 적용성을 평가하였다. 결과적으로 다짐 화강풍화토에 대한 경험식의 적용성은 재 재하 경로에 대해서 오차 감안이 가능한 경우에 대체적으로 적절한 것으로 평가되었다.

For integrity evaluation of cracked or damaged structures, fracture toughness test results in ASTM are widely used. The fracture toughness values of the structures are used as an effective design criterion in nuclear plants and aircraft structures. Sometimes the difference of P-$\delta$ curve trend during the unloading /reloading cycle in the fracture toughness test using partial unloading compliance was observed. The phenomenon as a possible source of error in determining fracture toughness may be caused by the residual stress during unloading work-hardening and bucking of a specimen. Therefore, we evaluate the effect of bucking and compressive residual stress during the K-R and J-R testing using a finite element method.

The fuel cycle characteristics of the IVG.1M reactor were studied within the framework of the research reactor conversion program to modernize the IVG.1M reactor. Optimum use of the nuclear fuel and reactor was achieved through routine methods which included partial fuel reloading combined with scheduled maintenance operations. Since, the additional problem in planning the fuel cycle of the IVG.1M reactor was the poisoning of the beryllium parts of the core, reflector, and control system. An assessment of the residual power and composition of spent fuel is necessary for the selection and justification of the technology for its subsequent management. Computational studies were performed using the MCNP6.1 program and the neutronics model of the IVG.1M reactor. The proposed scheme of annual partial fuel reloading allows for maintaining a high reactor reactivity margin, stabilizing it within 2-4 β_eff for 20 years, and achieving a burnup of 9.9-10.8 MW × day/kg U in the steady state mode of fuel reloading. Spent fuel immediately after unloading from the reactor can be placed in a transport packaging cask for shipping or safely stored in dry storage at the research reactor site.

A model of a cable comprising interacting wires with dry friction forces at the interfaces is subjected to a quasi-static cyclic loading. The first cycle of this process, comprising of axial loading, unloading and reloading is investigated analytically. Explicit load-elongation relationships are obtained for all of the above phases of the cycle. An expression for the hysteretic losses is also obtained in an explicit form. It is shown that losses are proportional to the third power of the amplitude of the oscillating axial force, and are in inverse proportion to the interwire friction forces. The results obtained are used to introduce a model of a cable as a solid rod with an equivalent stiffness and damping properties of the rod material. It is shown that the stiffness of the equivalent rod is weakly nonlinear, whereas the viscous damping coefficient is proportional to the amplitude of the oscillation. Some numerical results illustrating the effect of cable parameters on the losses are given.

One of the main applications of FRP composites is confining concrete columns. Hence identifying the cyclic and monotonic stress-strain behavior of confined concrete columns and the parameters influencing this behavior is inevitable. Two significant parameters affecting the stress-strain behavior are aspect ratio and corner radius. The present study aims to scrutinize the effects of corner radius and aspect ratio on different aspects of stress-strain behavior of FRP confined concrete specimens (rectangular, square and circular). Hence 44 FRP confined concrete specimens were tested and the results of the tests were investigated. The findings indicated that for specimens with different aspect ratios, the relationship between the ultimate stress and the corner radius is linear and the variations of the ultimate stress versus the corner radius decreases as a result of an increase in aspect ratio. It was also observed that increase of the corner radius results in increase of the compressive strength and ultimate axial strain and increase of the aspect ratio causes an increase of the ultimate axial strain but a decrease of the compressive strength. Investigation of the ultimate condition showed that the FRP hoop rupture strain is smaller in comparison with the one obtained from the tensile coupon test and also the ultimate axial strain and confined concrete strength are smaller when a prism is under monotonic loading. Other important results of this study were, an increase in the axial strain during the early stage of unloading paths and increase of the confining effect of FRP jacket with the increase and decrease of the corner radius and aspect ratio respectively, a decrease in the slope of reloading branches with cycle repetitions and the independence of this trend from the variations of the aspect ratio and corner radius and also quadric relationship between the number of each cycle and the plastic strain of the same cycle as well as the independence of this relationship from the aspect ratio and corner radius.

기존의 철근콘크리트 부재의 이력모델은 실험에 기초한 경험식을 사용하여 주기거동시 나타나는 강성저하를 나타내는데 중점을 두므로, 에너지소산능력을 정확히 예측할 수 없다. 최근 다양한 설계변수의 영향을 고려하여 주기거동 동안 소산하는 에너지를 정확히 계산할 수 있는 설계식이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 설계식에 기초하여 휨지배 부재에 대한 에너지기초이력모델(Energy-Based Hysteretic Model)을 개발하였다. 제안된 모델은 완전한 주기거동을 할 경우 실제거동과 동일한 에너지를 소산하도록 고안된 선형모델로, 주곡선(Primary Curve)과 주기곡선(Cyclic Curve)을 근간으로 하고 다섯 가지 제하/재하 규칙을 적용하여 핀칭 및 강성저하를 수반하는 주기거동을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 실험과의 비교를 통하여 제안된 이력모델의 정확성과 유효성을 검증하였다. 제안된 이력모델은 간단하면서도 수치해석의 적용에 용이하므로, 정적 및 동적 비선형 해석/설계 프로그램의 개발에 사용할 수 있다.
