The Age-adjusted effective Modulus Method(AEMM) is one of the methods adopted for the construction stage analysis of concrete structures. The AEMM uses the aging factor to consider the effects of the varying concrete stress. In the aspects of computation time and the accuracy of the results, the AEMM is considered as one of most appropriate methods for construction stage analysis of tall building structures. Previous researches proposed appropriate values of the aging factor in the forms of graphs or using very simple equations. In this paper, an equation for estimating the aging factor as a function of rebar ratio in the section, compressive strength of concrete, notional member dimension, and age of concrete at the load application. The validity of aging factor proposed in this paper were examined by the comparison with the results of step-by step method.

This paper presents the strengthening of tubular joint by wrapping Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP). In this study, total number of layers, stacking sequence and length of wrapping are the different parameters involved when fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) composites are used for strengthening. For this, parameters where varied and results were compared with the reference joint. The best stacking sequence was identified which has the highest value in ultimate load with lesser deflections. For determining the best stacking sequence, numerical investigation was performed on CFRP composites; length of wrapping and number of layers were fixed. Later, the studies were focused on CFRP and GFRP strengthened joint by varying the total number of layers and length of wrapping. An attempt was done to propose a parametric equation from multiple regression analysis, which can be used for CFRP strengthened joints. Hashin failure criteria was used to check the failure of composites. Results revealed that FRP was having a greater influence in the load bearing capacity of joints, and in reducing the deflections and stresses of joint under axial compressive loads. It was also seen that, CFRP was far better than GFRP in reducing the stresses and deflection.

모멘트골조는 건물 골조로 많이 사용되어 왔다. 현행 설계기준에서는 콘크리트모멘트 골조를 보통, 중간 특수 모멘트저항 콘크리트 골조 (OMRCF, IMRCF, SMRCF)로 분류하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 OMRCF와 IMRCF 기둥의 내진성능을 비교 평가하는 것이다. 이 목적을 위하여 3층 사무소 용도의 OMRCF와 IMRCF를 ACI 318 (2002)와 KCI (1999)을 따라 설계하였다. 이 연구에서 건물들은 모두 UBC (1997)에서 분류한 지진지역 1에 위치하는 것으로 가정하였다. 이 연구에서는 1층의 기둥을 고려하였는데 이는 1층이 지진 발생시 가장큰 횡력과 축력을 부담하기 때문이다. 8개의 2/3 축소모델 실험체를 제작하였다. 각 실험체는 각각 OMRCF 와 IMRCF 내부와 외부의 기둥 상부 하부를 모델링한 것이다. 유사정 적가력을 하였고 축력은 외부기둥실험체에는 변동축력을 내부기둥실험체에는 고정축력을 가력하였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 겹침이음여부, 축력의크기, 기둥단부의 횡보강근은 기둥의 내진거동에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 이러한 변수들은 서로 관련되어 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Offshore wind turbines have been constructed extensively throughout the world. These turbines are subjected to approximately $10^8$ horizontal load cycles produced from wind, waves, and current during their lifetimes. Therefore, the accumulated displacement of the foundation under horizontal cyclic loading has significant effects on the foundation design of a wind turbine. Akili(2006) and Achmus et al.(2009) performed cyclic triaxial tests on dry sands and proposed an empirical model for predicting the accumulated plastic strain of sands under long-term cyclic loading. In this study, cyclic triaxial tests were performed to analyze the cyclic loading behaviors of dry sands. A total of 27 test cases were performed by varying three parameters: the relative density of the sands, cyclic load level, and confining stress. The test results showed that the accumulated plastic strain increased with an increase in the cyclic load level and a decrease in the relative density of the sand. The confining stress had less effect on the plastic strain. In addition, the plastic strain at the 1st loading cycle was about 57% of the accumulated strain at 1,000 cycles. Finally, the input parameters of the empirical models of Akili(2006) and Achmus et al.(2009) were evaluated by using the relative density of the sand and the cyclic load level.

본 연구에서는 특정 암반에 근입된 강관말뚝의 거동특성을 분석하기 위하여, 강관말뚝의 직경, 두께 및 길이 조건에 따른 인발, 압축 및 수평재하 시의 시험결과 예측을 위한 3차원 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, 인발재하에 대한 거동특성을 분석한 결과, 동일한 말뚝길이 및 두께와 인발하중 크기를 기준으로 말뚝직경에 반비례하는 인발변위가 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 압축재하에 따른 하중-침하 관계를 통하여, 말뚝 직경에 비하여 말뚝의 두께가 하중저항에 대한 효과에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었으며, 수평하중 재하에 따른 수평변위 관계를 바탕으로 수평하중의 저항효과는 말뚝직경에 의한 영향이 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 강관말뚝을 이용하여 기초구조물 설계에 따른 재하시험을 위해서는 예비설계 단계에서 말뚝 조건이 거동특성에 미치는 영향을 분석할 필요가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

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.

현행 도로교설계기준의 철근콘크리트 교각 심부구속 횡방향철근량 산정식은 중심축력을 받는 기둥에서 콘크리트 피복이 탈락된 후 콘크리트 심부만으로 저항하는 축강도가 콘크리트 피복이 탈락되기 이전의 축강도 이상이 되기 위하여 필요한 횡구속 철근비로서 콘크리트 압축강도, 횡방향철근 항복강도 및 단면적비율을 주요변수로 고려하고 있다. 이들 변수 중 피복두께에 따라 달라지는 전체단면적과 심부단면적의 단면적비율은 압축파괴 영역에서의 강도발현 측면을 고려한 변수이므로 교각과 같이 작용축력이 상대적으로 낮아 축력보다는 모멘트에 의해서 지배되는 인장파괴 영역의 연성거동 측면에서는 단면적비율이 미치는 영향은 크지 않다. 그러나 설계기준의 횡방향철근량 산정식 자체가 교각의 내진거동에 중요한 요소인 연성능력을 직접적으로 고려한 식이 아니기 때문에 단면크기가 상대적으로 작은 경우 또는 내구성 등의 확보 차원에서 콘크리트 피복두께가 증가하여 단면적비율이 과도하게 커지는 경우에는 교각의 시공성 및 경제성이 저하될 정도로 많은 횡방향철근량이 요구되는 문제점을 야기한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 콘크리트 피복두께가 심부구속 횡방향철근량 산정식에 미치는 영향을 비교, 분석하고 보다 합리적인 내진설계를 위한 심부구속 횡방향철근량 산정식을 수정 제안하였으며 국내 외에서 수행된 실험 결과를 바탕으로 제안식의 안전율 및 타당성을 검증하였다.

최근 지하안전에 관한 특별법이 시행(2022년 1월)되었으며, 지하안전영향평가를 통해 계획단계부터 지하안전에 관한 사전검토가 실시되고 있다. 지하굴착을 위해서는 가설 흙막이의 구조 안전성을 확보하는 것이 중요하므로 지하안전 검토는 더욱 강화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토사지반에서 Soil-Cement 흙막이의 벽체 두께를 확대하고 H-pile의 선택과 설치간격을 자유롭게 할 수 있는 MFS(Multi-axis Flat Continuous Soil Cement Earth Retaining Wall) 흙막이 벽체 공법의 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 실내모형실험을 통해 MFS 공법의 H-pile 설치간격에 따른 벽체에 작용하는 하중-변위 거동을 확인하였으며, MFS 흙막이 벽체의 두께별 H-pile 설치간격 및 크기 변화에 따른 하중-변위를 3차원 수치해석으로 분석하여 벽체에 작용하는 아칭효과 높이를 산정하였다. MFS 공법에서 산정한 최대 아칭높이를 기존의 부재력 검토 방법에 적용하여 벽체에 작용하는 축력, 전단력을 정량적으로 분석하는 설계방법을 제시하였다. 그 결과 MFS 흙막이 벽체에 적용되는 H-pile 설치 간격 및 크기에 따른 축력 및 전단력이 24.6~62.9%가 저감하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the experimental as well as analytical study conducted on layer-bonded scrap tire rubber pad (STRP) isolators to develop low-cost seismic isolators applicable to structures in developing countries. The STRP specimen samples were produced by stacking the STRP layers one on top of another with the application of adhesive. In unbonded application, the STRP bearings were placed between the substructure and superstructure without fastening between the contact surfaces which allows roll-off of the contact supports. The vertical compression and horizontal shear tests were conducted with varying axial loads. These results were used to compute the different mechanical properties of the STRP isolators including vertical stiffness, horizontal effective stiffness, average horizontal stiffness and effective damping ratios. The load-displacement relationships of STRP isolators obtained by experimental and finite element analysis results were found to be in close agreement. The tested STRP samples show energy dissipation capacity considerably greater than the natural rubber bearings. The layer-bonded STRP isolators serve positive incremental force resisting capacity up to the shear strain level of 150%.

Among the various alternatives to make a steel tubular member connection, making a slotted and gusset plate welded connection is one of the most frequently preferred alternatives. This type of connection is essentially an end connection that is made by slotting the tube longitudinally, inserting the gusset plate and then placing longitudinal fillet welds at the tube-to-plate interface. In this paper an experimental study on the behaviour of such connections in stainless steel is presented. 24 specimens were tested under concentrically applied axial tensile forces for varying tube-to-gusset plate weld lengths. Both circular and box section members were considered in the test program. Load-deformation curves were obtained and comparisons were made in terms of strength and ductility. The results obtained from the study were then critically examined and compared with currently available design guidance for slotted gusset plate welded tubular end connections. It is noted that no specific rules exist in international specifications on structural stainless steel which cover the design of such connections. Therefore, the results of this study are compared with the existing design rules for carbon steel.
