A mixed type finite element method is applied to the nonuniform shear warping beam theory which is very useful for the structural analysis of thin-walled sectional beams considering the shear deformation. As known generally, it is shown that the mixed type finite element method, compared with the displacement type one, can give more balanced accuracy of results in calculating the stresses and displacements of the structure. In this paper, one typical example, the flexural-torsional problem of a discontinuously variable sectional beam under coupled end torsional moments, is selected and analyzed to validate the usefulness of the developed beam element.

The cross-sections of continuous multi-span beams sometimes suddenly increase, or become stepped, at the interior supports of continuous beams to resist high negative moments. The three-dimensional finite-element program ABAQUS (2006) was used to analytically investigate the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling behavior of stepped beams subjected to pure bending moment and resulted in the development of design equations. The flanges of the smaller cross-section were fixed at 30.48 by 2.54 cm, whereas the width and/or thickness of the flanges of the larger cross-section varied. The web thickness and height of beam was kept at 1.65 cm and 88.9 cm, respectively. The ratios of the flange thickness, flange width, and stepped length of beams are considered analytical parameters. Two groups of 27 cases and 35 cases, respectively, were analyzed for double and single stepped beams. The combined effects of residual stresses and geometrical imperfection on inelastic lateral-torsional buckling of beams are considered. First, the distributions of residual stress of the cross-section is same as shown in Pi, etc (1995), and the initial geometric imperfection of the beam is set by central displacement equal to 0.1% of the unbraced length of beam. The new proposed equations definitely improve current design methods for the inelastic LTB problem and increase efficiency in building and bridge design. The proposed solutions can be easily used to develop new design equation for inelastic LTB resistance of stepped beams subjected to general loading condition such as a concentrated load, a series of concentrated loads or uniformly distributed load.

Strength method for determining nominal moment capacity of reinforced concrete members is also assumed to be suitable for strengthened members with FRP system. If the internal tensile forces of the strengthened member from steel and FRP is insufficient, the FRP system strain might become greater than its ultimate tensile strain which makes the strength method a contradiction and unapplicable. The experimental results of 27 strengthened beams with carbon fiber sheets which have relatively lower tensile forces from steel and FRP show that not only concrete compressive strain is lower than 0.003 but also measured ultimate moment was lower than nominal moment using the strength method.

New design equations for calculating the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistances of singly stepped I-section beams subjected to general loading on the top flange are suggested based on the investigations of elastic finite-element analyses. The new equations presented in this study are compared with current moment gradient modifiers presented by other researchers and specifications. The study considered almost loading cases on buildings and bridges. The proposed equations should be easily used to calculate the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistance of stepped I-beams.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the natural frequencies and mode shapes of tapered beams with general boundary condition(translational and rotational elastic support) at one end and carrying a tip mass of rotatory inertia at the other end. The beam model is based on the classical Bernoulli-Euler beam theory which neglects the effects of rotatory inertia and shear deformation. (omitted)

A Stepped beam with immovable ends under forced vibrations with large amplitude is investigated by using the finite element method and the Ritz vectors. Unlike the Eigen vectors, the Ritz vectors are generated by a simple recurrence relation. Moreover the Ritz vectors yield much faster convergence with respect to the number of vectors used than the use of Eigen vectors. The computer program is developed for nonlinear analysis using Ritz vectors instead of Eigen vectors and numerical examples are analysed for deflections and natural frequencies of stepped beam under various support conditions. Results show that the proposed method is valid and efficient.

Stepped bean with immovable ends for large amplitude of vibration including effects of longitudinal displacement, shear deformation and rotary inertia is investigated for free and forced vibration using finite element method. Modified harmonic force matrix is introduced for analysis of vibration with finite amplitude of the stepped beam under uniform hamonic loading and beam with nonuniform harmonic loading. Numerical examples of stepped beam with various support conditions are analysed for deflections and natural frequencies. Results show that the proposed method is valid and efficient.

The main purpose of this paper is to determine the static optimal shapes of tapered beams with constant volume. The linear, parabolic and sinusoidal tapers with the regular polygon cross-section are considered, whose material volume and span length are always held constant. The Runge-Kutta method is used to integrate the differential equation and also Shooting method is used to calculate the unknown boundary condition. Then the static optimal shapes are determined by reading the minimum values of the deflection versus section ratio curves plotted by the deflection data. In numerical examples, the various tapered beams are analyzed and those numerical results of this study are shown in figures.

The longitudinal axial strain in the plastic hinge region of reinforced concrete (RC) columns influences on the structural behavior of RC structures subjected to reversed cyclic loading. This strain decreases the effective compressive strength of concrete and increases the lateral displacements between stories by causing the elongation of member length. This paper investigated the effects of the axial force on the elongation of a RC member by using a sectional analysis of RC members. The analytical and experimental results indicated that the axial force decreased the axial strain in the plastic hinge region of RC columns. In this study, a model was proposed to predict the axial strain of RC columns. The proposed model considering the effects of axial force ratio consisted of three path types ; Path 1-loading region, Path 2-unloading region, and Path 3-reversing cyclic loading region. The axal strains predicted by the proposed model were compared with the test results of RC columns with various axial force ratios, and agreed reasonably with the observed longitudinal strains.

현재 대부분 하천관리의 흐름해석에서 주가 되었던 1차원 분석은 하천 단면에 따른 횡적인 수면차, 유속분포를 분석할 수 없다는 단점을 가지고 있으며, 특히 유량 및 유속이 급속도로 늘어나는 홍수시에는 그 오차가 더욱 커질 수 있다. 반면에 2차원 모형의 흐름해석은 사행하천의 흐름 특성과 만곡부에서의 종 횡방향 수면경사 및 양안의 수면차와 합류지점의 횡방향 흐름 등의 영향을 고려할 수 있으며 1차원 해석과는 달리 전 단면에 걸쳐 유속 및 수위 분포를 나타낼 수 있어 실제흐름에 가까운 수리량을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구를 위해 적용된 해석모형인 SMS는 미국 Brigham Young 대학의 환경모형연구실과 미공병단(USACE)의 수로실험국(WES) 등에서 개발한 프로그램으로서 RMA2, RMA4, SED2D 모형 등으로 구성되어 있다. 각각의 모형은 수리 동역학적 해석, 오염물 이송확산 해석, 유사의 이송 및 퇴적 해석이 가능하며 이 중 RMA2를 이용한 2차원 흐름해석을 통하여 보다 적합한 하천관리에 이용가능하도록 하고자 한다. 연구대상 지역은 제주도 한천 하류부로서 제주도 하천 특성상 평상시 건천의 상태를 이루고 있으나 태풍 및 집중호우시 홍수유출이 발생하여 수위가 급격하게 상승하는 양상을 보인다. 대표적인 예로 태풍 '나리'시 최대 일강우량 420mm로 인한 인근 지역에 0.5 ~ 1.5m의 침수흔적을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2011년 최고수위를 기록한 태풍 '무이파'를 대상으로 하였으며 대상지역의 Kalesto를 이용한 수위-유속 자료를 이용하여 산출된 유량을 경계조건으로 사용하였고 격자망 형성을 위한 지형 데이터는 지형도 및 측량자료를 이용하여 구축하였다. 사용된 대표적인 매개변수는 하상의 조도계수를 나타내는 Manning의 n값과 유체의 밀도, 속도구배, 구조 등 여러 가지의 유체조건에 따라 변하는 성질인 와점성계수(eddy viscosity)로 요약할 수 있으며 Manning의 n값은 하천설계기준에 따른 하천기본계획의 조도계수를 사용하였고 와점성계수는 적합한 흐름 분포를 결정하기 위해 흐름이 안정될 때까지 변화시켜 해석을 시행하였다. 해석결과 만곡부에서는 급한 흐름을 보이고 있으며 최대하폭 구간에서는 완만한 흐름이 나타나 사행하천의 흐름특성과 횡적인 하천단면에 따른 변화, 하상고 차이로 인한 유속분포를 확인할 수 있으며 이는 보다 유용한 하천관리에 이용가능할 것으로 사료된다.
