Pinching is an important property of reinforced concrete member which characterizes its cyclic behavior. In the present study, numerical studies were performed to investigate the characteristics of pinching behavior and the energy dissipation capacity of flexure-dominated reinforced concrete members. By investigating existing experiments and numerical results, it was found that flexural pinching which has no relation with shear action appears in RC members subject to axial compression force. However, members with specific arrangement and amount of re-bars, have the same energy dissipation capacity regardless of the magnitude of the axial force applied even though the shape of the cyclic curve varies due to the effect of the axial force. This indicates that concrete as a brittle material does not significantly contribute to the energy dissipation capacity though its effect on the behavior increases as the axial force increases, and that energy dissipation occurs primarily by re-bars. Therefore, the energy dissipation capacity of flexure-dominated member can be calculated by the analysis on the cross-section subject to pure bending, regardless of the actual compressive force applied. Based on the findings, a practical method and the related design equations for estimating energy dissipation capacity and damping modification factor was developed, and their validity was verified by the comparisons with existing experiments. The proposed method can be conveniently used in design practice because it accurately estimates energy dissipation capacity with general design parameters.

본 연구에서는 케이싱을 영구부재로 사용함으로써 기존의 현장타설말뚝과 비교하여 시공 성,품질균일성,경제성, 내구성 등을 검토한다. 연구결과 케이싱을 영구부재로 사용하는 경우, 케이싱의 재사용을 위한 인발작업이 불필요하게 되고,말뚝길이전체에 대하여 케이싱을 사용한다면 R.C.D공법에 서 적용하는 슬러리공벽보호공정이 불필요하므로 시공성이 향상되는 것으로 판단된다. 케이싱을 영구부 재로 사용하는 현장타설말뚝의 지지력은 일반 깊은 기초의 지지력을 산정하는 방법과 동일하게 구해질 수 있다. 대구경의 영구케이싱이 있는 현장타설말뚝을 시공한다면 공내에 간단한 장비와 인력을 투입해서 선단부를 그라우팅방법 등으로 강화시킴으로써 선단지지력을 효과적으로 증대시킬 수 있을 것이다. 또한 케이싱 내부로부터 미리제작한 구멍을 통하여 그라우팅, 전단키(shear key) 등을 주입 또는 압입 함으로써 주면마찰력도 크게 향상될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, equivalent models for active control devices are proposed so that building structures with such devices are analyzed using commercial structural analysis programs for the assessment of the structural members under active vibration control. Equivalent link models represent active control device with a virtual linear spring and dashpot, and equivalent force models are control force history acting at the installation point in structural models. Active controllers are designed based on the reduced-order models for a vertical cantilever model and a high-rise building model and corresponding equivalent models are determined from control gain matrices. Based on acceleration, displacement and member force responses, the effectiveness of the equivalent models is verified. As a result, proposed equivalent models, of which equivalent link model showed better performance, appear to enable detailed investigation of structural behavior to the extent of member force level.

study proposes a new key-segment closing method using thermal effect as a substitute to the process of set-back and reset-back for the FCM construction of a partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge. The proposed method is to artificially heat up the inside of girders located in the main span before closing the key-segment in a cantilever state. Then, the heat is removed after finishing the closure in a continuous bridge state. Using the changes in boundary conditions and structural systems, the proposed method can generate new member forces that reflect the advantage of the partially earth-anchored cable system. From the construction sequence analysis, it is found that the proposed method increases the efficiency of a partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge by reducing the compressive axial forces on the girders.

콘크리트 부유구조물에서 파랑하중의 영향에 의하여 발생하는 부재내력 산정식을 제시하였다. 기존의 설계식은 구조물의 길이와 파장 길이가 일치할 때에 적용이 가능하다. 그러나 대부분의 경우 구조물의 길이와 파장 길이가 일치하지 않기 때문에 비평형 부력에 의한 추가적인 모멘트가 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부유구조물을 강체로 가정하고 비평형 부력의 영향을 고려한 설계식을 제시하였고 이를 유한요소해석에 의한 결과와 비교하여 그 타당성을 보여주었다.

When the shear force governs the response of an RC element, as in the case of a low-rise shear wall, the effect of shear on the element's response is thought to be responsible for the 'pinching effect' in the hysteretic loops. However, it was recently shown that this undesirable pinching effect can be eliminated in the hysteretic load-deformation curves of a shear-dominant element if the steel grid orientation is properly aligned in the direction of the applied principal stresses. In this paper, the presence and absence of the pinching mechanism in the hysteretic loops of the shear stress-strain curves of RC elements was explained rationally using a compatibility aided truss model. The analytical results indicate that the pinching effect of the RC elements is strongly related to the direction of the steel arrangement. The area of the energy dissertation does not increase proportionally to the difference between the direction of the principal compressive stress and the direction of the steel arrangement.

In this study, the effect of semi-rigid connections on the structural behavior of 20-story braced steel structure has been investigated utilizing the second-order elastic structural analysis program in which nonlinear behavior of beam-column connections and geometric nonlinearity have been considered. Global effects such as P-delta effect and sway at the top have been studied, as well as distribution of member force and combined stress in structural members as local effects. When the structure subjected to horizontal load and vertical load is equipped with lateral-load resisting system such as braces, replacement of shear connection with semi-rigid connection has not caused any problem in P-delta effect and top lateral displacement. Distribution of member forces resulted in reduction in member size for economic structural design.
