This paper proposes a method to determine the elastic follow-up factors for the $C(t)$-integral under secondary stress. The rate of creep crack growth for transient creep is correlated with the $C(t)$-integral. Elastic follow-up behavior, which occurs in structures under secondary loading, prevents a relaxation of stress during transient creep. Thus, both the values of $C(t)$ and creep crack growth increase as increasing elastic follow-up. An estimation solution for $C(t)$ was proposed by Ainsworth and Dean based on the reference stress method. To predict the value of $C(t)$ using this solution, an independent method to determine the elastic follow-up factors for cracked bodies is needed. This paper proposed that the elastic follow-up factors for $C(t)$ can be determined by elastic-plastic analyses using the plastic-creep analogy. Finite element analyses were performed to verify this method.

Most of lap jointed aircraft structures encounter the fretting damages, which provoke fretting cracks prematurely and lead to significant reduction of fatigue life. In the case of ageing aircrafts especially, this fretting fatigue problem is a fatal threat for the safety and airworthiness. Recently, as the service life extension program(SLEP) of ageing aircrafts has become a hot issue, the prediction of fretting fatigue life is also indispensable. On these backgrounds, a series of experimental tests of fretting fatigue on bolted lap joint specimens, were performed. And the fretting crack initiation and propagation life of each specimen were evaluated using existing and newly proposed prediction models with the fretting parameters obtained from the FEA results for elasto-plastic contact stress analyses. The validations of prediction models were also discussed, comparing the prediction results with experimental test ones.

This paper presents an analytical model for evaluation of crack widths in structural concrete members. The model is mathematically derived from the actual bond stress-slip relationships between the reinforcement and the surrounding concrete, and the relationships summarized in CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 are employed in this study together with the assumption of a linear slip distribution along the interface at the stabilized cracking stage. With these, the actual strains of the steel and the concrete are integrated respectively along the embedment length between the adjacent cracks so as to obtain the difference in the axial elongation. The model is applied to the test specimens available in literatures, and the predicted values are shown to be in good agreement with the experimentally measured data.

본 연구의 목적은 원자력 배관용 스테인레스강의 J-R곡선을 예측하기 위한 2가지 방법 올 제시하는 것이다. 첫 번째 방법에서는 균열길이/시편폭 비를 변수로 한 탄소성 유한요소해석을 수행하여 파괴변형률에 근거한 P-$\delta$곡선을 얻고, 이 결과로부터 일반궤적법을 응용하여 J-R곡선을 구하였다. 두 번째 방법에서는 $\sigma$-$\varepsilon$곡선과 J-R곡선의 상관관계를 통계처리하여 응력-변형률시험결과로부터 J-R곡선을 예측할 수 있는 실험식을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법들을 이용하여 구한 예측결과는 실험결과와 대체로 잘 일치하였다.

본 논문은 전단철근을 갖지 않는 비교적 짧은 지간의 철근콘크리트 보에서 전단특성을 규명하고 균열전단강도와 극한전단강도를 예측하기 위한 것으로 총30개의 보를 4 series로 나누어 실험을 수행하였다. 실험의 변수는 콘크리트의 강도, 전단지간-유효높이의 비, 인장철근량등이며, 실험과정을 통해 파괴형상, 처짐, 전단강도등을 측정하였다. 실험결과로부터 콘크리트의 강도가 커지고 철근량이 많아질수록, 그리고 전단지간이 짧아질수록 철근콘크리트 보의 균열 및 극한전단강도가 증가됨을 밝혔다. 또한, 실험성과를 회귀분석하여 균열전단강도와 극한전단강도 추정식을 제안하였다. 제안된 추정식에 의한 계산값과 실험성과를 비교 검토하여 그 상관성을 확인하였다.

A modified method for the analysis of short fatigue crack growth has been presented, and calculations based upon the modified method are compared with experimental results for S45C carbon steel. It is also shown that the modified method is in good agreement with experimental data. The proposed equation for the fatigue crack growth rates includes a material constant which relates the threshold level to the endurance limit, a correction for elastic-plastic behaviour and a means for dealing with the effects of crack closure. In this study one of the modifications is to substitute the Forman' s elastic expression of the stress intensity factor range into the geometrical factor The other is a consideration of the bending effect which is developed from the moment caused by the eccentric cross sectional geometry as the crack grows. Thus, this method is useful for residual life prediction of the mechanical structures as well as the welding structures.

Recently, the researches of self-healing concrete technology are being carried out actively due to the advent of importance for the maintenance of concrete structures. A water permeability test has been widely used for the evaluation of self-healing performance. However, it is difficult to compare tests results since there is no standard test method related to the self-healing. A standard method for measuring the crack width does not exist neither though the self-healing performance is significantly influenced by the initial crack width. In this study, the effect of water head and crack width on water flow was investigated using a constant water head permeability test equipment. The correlation equation between the initial crack width and water flow was suggested through the regression analysis of test data, and the predicted crack widths agree well with the real crack widths measured using microscopy.

This paper describes a proposal for average crack width and immediate deflection calculation in structural concrete members. The model is mathematically derived from actual bond stressslip relationships and tension stiffening effect between reinforcement and the surrounding concrete, and the actual strains of steel and concrete are integrated respectively along the embedded length between the adjacent cracks so as to obtain the difference in the axial elongation. With these, a model for average crack width and immediate deflection in reinforced concrete flexural members are proposed utilizing difference in the axial elongation and average steel strain and moment-curvature relationship with taking account of bond characteristics. The model is applied to the test specimens available in literatures, and the crack width and deflections predicted by the proposal equation in this study are closed to the experimentally measured data compared the current code provisions.

An approximate method for the calculation of creep deflections of reinforced concrete beams under sustained service loads is proposed. The position of neutral axis and strain and stress distribution of fully cracked section after creep is determined from the requirements of strain compatibility and equilibruim of a section and then the long-term flexural rigidity of fully cracked section is determined based on the new neutral axis. The long-term flexural rigidity of uncracked section at the level of the reinforcenment. The approach of calculating long-term effective flexural rigidity and defections is similar to the current American Concrete Institue procedure for calculating effecitve moment of inertia and short-term deflections. The accuracy of the analysis is verified by comparison with several experimental mesurements of beam deflectons. The result is good between the theotetical values and mesured valus.
