In this research, nonlinear Timoshenko beam element that is able to capture nonlinear shear deformation is developed. The proposed model shows more reasonable prediction than Bernoulli beam theory in short columns or strong shear column due to the consideration of shear deformation. The cross-section is modeled as fiber approach. Since the model is based on the fiber approach for section discretization, the plastic progress of the section can be traced and the coupling effect of the axial and flexural response. The developed element is implemented into the finite element program to analysis general reinforced concrete structures. As parametric study, reinforced concrete columns are analyzed and compared with experimental results, analyzed the property of behavior for reinforced concrete columns.

This paper deals with the geometrical nonlinear analyses of post-buckled columns with variable cross-section. The objective columns having variable cross-section of the width, depth and square tapers are supported by both hinged ends. By using the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory, differential equations governing the elastica of post-buckled column and their boundary conditions are derived. The solution methods of these differential equations which have two unknown parameters are developed. As the numerical results, equilibrium paths, elasticas and stress resultants of the post-buckled columns are presented. Laboratory scaled experiments were conducted for validating the theories developed in this study.

In a previous research performed by the authors, the allowable compressive stress coefficient (K) in pretensioned members with rectangular section at transfer was proposed based on strength design theory. In this study, a subsequent research of an enormous analysis was performed to determine the K factor for Tee and inverted Tee section members, considering the effect of section height (h), section type, amount of tendons ($A_{ps}$), and eccentricity ratio (e/h). Based on the analysis results, the allowable compressive stress coefficients (K) for Tee and inverted Tee section members at transfer were derived, which limit the maximum allowable stresses as 80% and 70% of the compressive strengths at the time of release for Tee section and inverted Tee section, respectively. And these were larger than the allowable stresses specified in domestic and other international codes. In order to verify the proposed equations, they were compared to the test results available in literature and other codes, which showed that the allowable stresses in domestic and international codes are unconservative for the cases with low eccentricity ratios while conservative for those with high eccentricity ratios. The proposed equations, however, estimate the allowable stresses of the Tee and inverted Tee section members reasonably close to test results.

Both shear and torsional moments apply shear stresses on cross-section of a member, which need to be considered in the design. But in the current Korean Building Code, the design equations for shear and torsional moments are expressed in terms of the sectional strength with different units, causing figures to be drawn separately in two axes. If the design equations are expressed in terms of stresses, then the stresses of shear and torsional moments can be added, allowing figures to be drawn in one axis for easy recognition of the design procedure and the final design results. Moreover, the current code's design equations for shear and torsional moments are considered separately with the intention of summing the area of stirrups with respect to unit length for shear moment ($A_{\upsilon}/s$) and torsional moment ($2A_t/s$). Since the size or type of vertical stirrups are predetermined in the design process, the design equations are expressed in terms of the spacing of stirrups rather than the $A_{\upsilon}/s$ and $2A_t/s$ terms, clarifying various design steps and a design process.

Recently, in the domestic amount of materials,curtailment and economic efficiency security by purpose, tapered beam application is achieved, but the architectural design technology of today based on the material non-linear method does not consider solutions to problems such as brittle fracture. So, geometric non-linear evaluation thatincludes initial deformation, width-thickness ratio, web stiffener and unbraced length is required. Therefore, in this study, we used ANSYS, a proven finite elementanalysis program,and material and geometric non-linear analysis to study existing and completed tapered H-section as deep beam's analysis model. Main parameters include the width-thickness ratio of web, stiffener, and flange brace, with the experimental result obtained by main variable buckling and limit strength evaluation. We made certain that a large width-thickness ratio of the web decreases the buckling strength and short unbraced web significantly improves ductility.

The present study evaluated the effective arrangement approach of transverse reinforcement in the jacket section for seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete columns. To simulate the full-scale columns, the section dimensions were determined as $450{\times}450mm$ for non-seismic existing columns and $750{\times}750mm$ for section enlargement strengthening columns. Over-lapped channel-shape bars and prefabricated bar units were proposed for closed-hoops in the jacket section, and conventional cross-ties anchored into existing columns and V-ties were considered for the supplementary ties. Test results showed that the axial capacity of the existing column and section enlargement columns with over-lapped channel-shape hoops was similar to the nominal strength calculated using ACI 318-14 procedure whereas the section enlargement column with prefabricated bar units possessed 1.25 times higher axial capacity than the nominal prediction. Furthermore, the axial ductility ratio of the section enlargement column with prefabricated bar unit was 139% higher than that of the existing column despite the potential size effect on ductility of concrete. Thus, it can be concluded that the developed prefabricated bar unit technique is practically useful for preventing the premature buckling of longitudinal reinforcement and confining core concrete in the section enlargement strengthening columns.

In this study, we investigated the potential changes in the cross sectional area of the rectangular microchannel with various zeta potentials and hydraulic diameters. We changed height/width ratio as 1, 1/2, and 1/3 and investigated its effect on the potential change. For this research, FEMLAB(Comsol, verson 3.0) was used to investigate the theoretical potential distribution. The potential changes in the cross section shows that right and left surfaces affect to some ranges. For the same area and shape, the potential value is directly proportional to the zeta potential change. With the decrease in the H/W ratio, the electrical double layer is condensed to the side surfaces.

This paper deals with the strongest static arches with the solid regular polygon cross-section. Both span length and volume of arch are always held constant regardless the shape functions of cross-sectional depth of regular polygon. The normal stresses acting on such arches are calculated when both static vertical and horizontal point loads are subjected. By using the calculating results of stresses, the optimal shapes of strongest static arches are obtained, under which the maximum normal stress become to be minimum. For determining the redundant of such indeterminate arches, the least work theorem is adopted. As the numerical results, the configurations, i.e. section ratios, of the strongest static arches are reported in tables and figures. The results of this study can be utilized in the field of the minimum weight design of the arch structures.

본 논문에서는 얇은 직사각형 단면 형상을 가지는 세 가지 서로 다른 유동로 안에서 움직이는 공기버블의 변형 거동에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 압력 차이로 유체는 유동되며, 유동장을 따라서 변형하는 버블의 정상상태 모양을 관찰하였다. 벽면효과를 알아보기 위해 세 종류의 얇은 사각단면을 사용하였으며, 두 가지 종류의 작동 유체, 버블의 초기 크기, 작동 유체의 유량 등을 변화시켰을 때 이에 대한 공기 버블의 변형을 체계적으로 관찰하고 이들의 관계를 고찰하였다. 실험데이타를 정량화하여 캐필러리 수에 대한 버블의 무차원 속도비와의 관계를 상세하게 고찰하였다. 글리세린의 경우는 항상 버블 선단부의 곡률이 후단의 곡률보다 더 작게 나타났으며 실리콘 오일의 경우와 반대 경향이 관찰되었다. 두 경우 모두 캐필러리 수에 대한 속도비와 세장비 값은 1 보다 큰 값을 가졌다. 실리콘 오일의 경우는 주어진 Ca 수에 대하여 속도비가 글리세린의 경우보다 더 크게 나왔으며 버블 크기에 따른 속도비 분산도가 더 조밀하게 나타났다. 사각 단면 폭이 감소할수록 벽면 효과는 증대되었으며 같은 폭에 대해서는 버블 변형이 축소관의 경우가 가장 크게 나타났다.
