Calculating the seismic displacement of retaining walls has an important role in the optimum design of these structures. Also, studying the effect of surcharge is important for the calculation of active pressure as well as permanent displacements of the wall. In this regard, some researchers have investigated active pressure; but, unfortunately, there are few investigations on the seismic displacement of retaining walls with surcharge. In this research, using limit analysis and upper bound theorem, permanent seismic displacement of retaining walls with surcharge was analyzed for sliding and overturning failure mechanisms. Thus, a new formulation was presented for calculating yield acceleration, critical angle of failure wedge, and permanent displacement of retaining walls with surcharge. Also, effects of surcharge, its location and other factors such as height of the wall and internal friction angle of soil on the amount of seismic displacements were investigated. Finally, designing charts were presented for calculating yield acceleration coefficient and angle of failure wedge.

The purpose of this study is to experimentally evaluate the variation characteristics of stiffness and impact resistance under the construction height of gypsum board wall at the actual construction site. The method suggested in previous study was applied on the test method of horizontal load resistance and impact resistance. As a result of horizontal load resistance test, when the wall height is 2,400 mm, the maximum displacement is 13.6 mm and residual deformation is 0.5 mm, and when the wall height is 3,000 mm, the maximum displacement is 31.3 mm and the residual displacement is 6.8 mm. As a result of impact resistance test, the residual deformation of each specimen at 20 cm of fall height were 1.02 mm and 0.08 mm, respectively, the residual deformation at 40 cm of fall height were 1.58 mm and 0.35 mm, respectively, and the residual deformation at 60 cm of fall height were 2.23 mm and 2.48 mm, respectively.

This paper presents an experimental study on the energy dissipation characteristics of viscous damping wall (VDW). VDW is consisted of a plate floating in a thin case made of steel plated filled with highly viscous silicone oil. Because VDW demonstrates both viscous damping and stiffness characteristics, the viscous resisting force can be expressed as the sum of velocity dependant viscous damping force and displacement dependant restoring force. The viscous resisting force and energy absorbing capacity can be easily adjusted by changing three factors, i.e. viscosity of the fluid, gap distance and area of the wall plates. VDW was tested using a series of harmonic (sinusoidal) displacement history having different frequency and amplitude and the force-displacement relationship was recorded. The relationship between dissipated energy with three factors and the influence of exciting frequency on resisting force were Investigated

Torsional behavior of eccentric structures under seismic loading may cause stress and/or strain concentration, which result in the failure of the structures in an unexpected manner. This study propose how to assess the seismic capacity of plan-irregular RC wall structures. The seismic capacities ate expressed in terms of lateral displacement capacity of each wall. The seismic demands for displacement are assessed by so called displacement-based design approach. Those seismic capacity and demands are combined D-R coordinate, which is made up of lateral displacement and rotation angle. To expand these concepts to the inelastic region the adaptive modal analysis method is used. In addition, the failure mechanisms including torsional failure are defined on D-R coordinate. Finally, seismic assessments of two 3-story plan-irregular wall structures ate presented.

원형 오픈 케이슨과 원형 수직구에 설치된 흙막이 벽에 작용하는 토압은, 벽체의 변위와 응력해방으로 인한 수평 및 연직 아칭효과로 인하여, 평면 변형조건에서의 옹벽에 작용하는 토압보다는 작은 토압이 발생한다. 원형벽체에 작용하는 토압분포를 조사하기 위해서, 건조한 모래지반에서 깊이에 따른 벽체변형이 균등한 조건의 모형실험을 실시하였다. 벽체 변위, 벽면 마찰, 벽체 형상비 등을 조절할 수 있는 모형 실험 장치가 개발되었고, 모형실험을 통하여 원통형 벽체에 작용하는 토압에 대한 다양한 인자의 영향이 분석되었다.

Currently, many studies are underway at home and abroad on the seismic performance evaluation and dry construction method of the masonry structure. In this study, a dry stack masonry wall system without mortar using concrete blocks is proposed, and investigate the seismic performance of dry filling wall frames through experimental studies. First, two types of standard blocks and key blocks were designed to assemble dry walls of concrete blocks. And then, three types of experiments were manufactured, including pure frame, 1/2 height filling wall frame, and full height filling wall frame, and cyclic load experiments in horizontal direction were performed to analyze crack patterns, load displacement history, rebar deformation yield, effective stiffness change, displacement ductility, and energy dissipation capacity. According to the experimental results, the full height filling wall frame had the largest horizontal resistance against the earthquake load and showed a high energy dissipation capacity. However, the 1/2 height filling wall frame requires attention because the filling wall constrains the effective span of the column, limiting the horizontal displacement of the frame. In addition, the concrete block was firmly assembled in the vertical direction of the wall as the horizontal movement between the concrete blocks was allowed within installation margin, and there was no dropping of the assembled concrete block.

According to recent research on leak-rate estimates to assess rupture probabilities of nuclear piping which contains a circumferential surface/through-wall cracks due to PWSCC, i.e., xLPR (Extremely Low Probability of Rupture) program, it has been revealed that the use of crack shape with an idealized circumferential through-wall crack during actual crack growth can lead to overestimate of the leak-rate. Thus, for accurate estimation of the leak-rate during crack growth, the more realistic crack shape that can simulate the crack shape transition from surface crack to through-wall crack should be used. In this context, in the present study, the elastic crack opening displacement of slanted circumferential through-wall crack in thick-walled cylinder was proposed based on 3-dimensional elastic finite element fracture mechanics analyses. To propose the elastic crack opening displacement of slanted circumferential through-wall crack in thick-walled cylinder, the geometric variables affecting crack opening displacement, i.e., thickness of cylinder, reference inner crack length and slant crack ratio were systematically varied. In terms of loading conditions, axial tension, global bending moment and internal pressure were considered. The present results can be applied to calculate the leak-rate considering more realistic crack shape transition from surface crack to idealized through-wall crack, and can be expected to enhance current leak-rate estimation scheme, for instance, in xLPR program etc.

지진시 중력식 안벽에 작용하는 동적작용력의 크기는 배면지반내에 발생하는 과잉간극수압의 크기에 따라 민감하게 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 지진시 발생 과잉간극수압에 따른 벽체 작용력의 변화를 고려하여 중력식 안벽의 지진변위를 산정할 수 있는 새로운 변위모델을 제안하였다. 이 모델은 기본적으로 Newmark 강성블럭 해석개념을 이용하며, 벽체 작용력의 크기 변화를 항복가속도 크기 변화와 연계하여 산정한다. 개발된 모델은 변수연구와 1g 진동대 실험을 수행하여 검증하였는데, 변수연구를 통하여 본 모델에 사용되는 주요 변수들이 안벽의 변위발생에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고, 1g 진동대 실험에서 얻어진 모형벽체의 측정변위와 본 모델의 예측변위를 비교하여 그 적용성을 검증하였다.

We present the accurate investigation the seismic behavior of the gravity retaining wall built near rock face based on numerical method. The retaining wall is a useful structure in geotechnical engineering, where the earthquake is a common phenomenon; therefore, the evaluation of the behavior of the retaining wall during an earthquake is essential. However, in all previous studies, the backfill behind the wall was usually approximated by a homogeneous region, while in contrast, in practice, in many cases retaining walls are used to support the soil pressure in, inhomogeneous, mountainous area. This suggests an accurate investigation of the problem, i.e., numerical analysis. The numerical results will be compared with some of recently proposed analytical methods to show the accuracy of the proposed method. We show that increasing the volume of the rock face yields decreasing the permanent horizontal displacement of the gravity retaining wall built near rock face. Besides, we see that the permanent horizontal displacement of the gravity retaining wall with homogenous backfill is more than permanent horizontal displacement of the gravity retaining wall case of the built near rock face in different frequency contents.
