Steel set is a structure that stabilize the NATM tunnel until the installation of shotcrete, and it is combined after the shotcrete is installed to improve stability. In this study, determination approach for the equivalent elastic modulus of shotcrete-lattice girder composite is newly suggested for tunneling simulation. Also, a method was presented to calibrate the equivalent elastic modulus through the comparison of the full 3D model and equivalent model. When the conventional equivalent elastic modulus is used for shotcrete-lattice girder composite, the flexural strength of equivalent model is 130% smaller than that of full 3D model. Equivalent elastic modulus is adjusted considering the error of flexural strength. It is found that the error of flexural strength obtained from adjusted equivalent model using adjusted equivalent elastic modulus is reduced less than 1%.

An experimental investigation was conducted with half-scale representations of the reinforced concrete shear walls with the opening subjected to cyclic loads. Specimens were half scale representations of a one-story wall in the apartment built in 1980. The area ratio of the opening section, as well as the size and critical section of coupling slabs, were decided based on results from a previous researches. The test result of WS-0.23 specimen, which has artificial damages to install the opening, the strength of the wall decreased due to the opening. It is apparent that influence of cutting reinforcing bars and decrease of effective section area lead to early first yield of the reinforcing bars before the allowable limit of drift ratio of the shear walls was reached. Therefore, proper reinforcing method is needed to prevent this. The decrease of strength of the shear walls by installation of openings shows a great deal of difference compared to previous researches. This is because flexural capacity of the slabs is working as coupling elements for the shear walls. The critical section of coupling slabs that works as coupling elements for shear walls was a little different from the results of previous researches.

This study shows the test results of seven RC beams retrofitted with modified polymer system and parametric study about the effects of tensile strength of retrofitting materials by analytical method on the flexural behavior. The main parameters are the retrofitted depth and length. The beams are loaded to the failure by four-point loading. Test results show that the effect of the retrofitted length on the structural behavior is more significant than that of depth. As the retrofitted depth is increased, the beams represents the brittle failure mode The non-linear analysis is carried out to grasp the effect of the tensile strength of retrofitting material on the structural behavior. As the retrofitted depth and length are increased, the tensile strength becomes more effective so these parameters should be considered to determine the retrofitted area. The analytical results show that failure strength is less than that of experimental results, but the stiffness is vice versa.

하천에서 실제로 유속 2.0m/s 이상 발생할 시 유량측정은 매우 급변하는 유속과 수위변화에 따른 측정값의 불확실성, 운영적인 측면에서의 시·공간적 한계 등으로 고유량에 대해 정확한 유량을 산정하기 어려운 실정이다. 그리고 국가하천은 최소 80년 빈도 이상, 지방하천은 최소 50년 빈도 이상의 확률강우량 채택을 통해 고유량에 해당하는 계획홍수량을 산정하고 있으나, 실제로 높은 호우의 빈도는 쉽게 발생하지 않아 유량측정성과가 부재하거나 매우 극소수에 불과한 상황이다. 따라서 유량측정성과는 대상하천의 계획홍수량(계획홍수위) 이하의 수준, 즉 중규모 수위 이하의 구간에서 대부분의 성과를 가지고 있으므로 고유량 산정은 고수위 외삽추정식에 의존할 수밖에 없다. 고수위 외삽추정은 대체로 기 유량측정성과(h, q)와 통수단면적(AD^1/2) 자료를 이용하는 Stevens 방법을 주로 이용하며, 이 방법은 하폭에 비해 수심이 비교적 작은, 얕은 하천과 기 유량측정성과가 추정하려는 고수위 구간에 근접한 경우에 적용성이 매우 용이하다고 할 수 있다. 설마천 유역 전적비교 수위관측소의 경우는 수위 4.110m까지 최대로 통수할 수 있으며, 하폭은 24.230m, 관측 최고수위는 3.194m, 유량측정성과 최대수위는 1.613m(40.303m³/s)이다. 설마천 유역에 대해 Stevens 방법을 적용하는 경우 위 조건을 만족하지 않으므로 다른 방법으로의 접근이 필요하다. AMC-III 조건의 선행강수량과 지속기간 1시간을 갖는 최대강우강도별 관측도달시간 자료를 통해 관계식을 유도하였으며, 강우 빈도해석의 결과인 지속기간 1시간의 빈도별 강우강도에 해당하는 도달시간을 유속으로 환산하는 과정을 거쳤다. 그 결과 유속은 1.808m/s(2년 빈도_43.3mm)~4.254m/s(500년 빈도_101.9mm)이며, 기 유량측정성과의 결과인 수위, 통수단면적, 유속, 유량, 최대강우강도(86.1mm_80년 빈도)가 발생했을 때의 해당 유속(도달시간 환산값), 수위, 통수단면적을 통해 최종적으로 빈도(년)별 유속, 수위, 유량을 결정하였다. 한국하천일람(2018)에서 제시된 설마천 전체 유역의 80년 빈도 계획홍수량(315m³/s, A=17.59km²) 값은 전적비교 수위관측소(A=8.48km²)와 직접적인 비교는 어렵지만, 유역면적비(0.482)를 적용한 추정된 계획홍수량은 약 152m³/s 볼 수 있다. 상기의 빈도별 유속, 수위, 통수단면적 결과인 80년 빈도(86.1mm)-유속(3.594m/s)-수위(3.194m)-통수단면적(53.197m²)에 해당하는 계산된 유량은 191.212m³/s로 분석되었다. 그리고 최대통수가 가능한 수위 4.110m의 계산된 유량은 313.674m³/s(약 424년 빈도 추정, 유속 4.203m/s, 통수단면적 74.761m²)로 결국에는 빈도(년)에 해당하는 수위-유량관계식(고수위 외삽추정식)을 통해 고유량을 산정할 수 있었다.

In this study, the load capacities and behaviors of a shotcrete member with steel supports, as composite member, are investigated numerically by using a fiber section element. The cross section of a shotcrete lining with steel support is divided into a bundle of fibers, which are allocated nonlinear stress-strain relations and used for determining internal forces. To verify the used approach of the finite element method for shotcrete with steel supports, the load-displacement relations of shotcrete lining obtained by numerical analysis are compared with existing experimental results and are analyzed with the stress distribution of the shotcrete and steel support obtained numerically. As a result, it is shown that the proposed approach can predict the load capacities of each material and the overall nonlinear behavior of shotcrete lining with steel supports. The change of location of the neutral axis and the flexural resistance ratio of each material are also derived from the stress distribution of the cross section of the shotcrete lining with steel supports. From the results, it is concluded that the flexural resistance performance of steel support should be considered in shotcrete lining design.

A moment-curvature relationship to simulate the behavior of reinforced concrete beam under cyclic loading is introduced. Unlike previous moment-curvature models and the layered section approach, the proposed model takes into consideration the bond-slip effect by using monotonic moment-curvature relationship constructed on the basis of the bond-slip relation and corresponding equilibrium equation at each nodal point. In addition, the use of curved unloading and reloading branches inferred from the stress-strain relation of steel gives more exact numerical result. The advantages of the proposed model, comparing to layered section approach, may be on the reduction in calculation time and memory space in case of its application to large structures. The modification of the moment-curvature relation to reflect the fixed-end rotation and pinching effect is also introduced. Finally, correlation studies between analytical results and experimental studies are conducted to establish the validity of the proposed model.

An analytical model for predicting the shear strength of prestressed concrete beams without shear reinforcement was developed, on the basis of the existing strain-based shear strength model. It was assumed that the compression zone of intact concrete in the cross-section primarily resisted the shear forces rather than the tension zone. The shear capacity of concrete was defined based on the material failure criteria of concrete. The shear capacity of the compression zone was evaluated along the inclined failure surface, considering the interaction with the compressive normal stress. Since the distribution of the normal stress varies with the flexural deformation of the beam, the shear capacity was defined as a function of the flexural deformation. The shear strength of a beam was determined at the intersection of the shear capacity curve and the shear demand curve. The result of the comparisons to existing test results showed that the proposed model accurately predicted the shear strength of the test specimens.

Although a critical section reaches its flexural strength in reinforced concrete structures, the structure does not always fail because moment redistribution occurs during the formation of plastic hinges. Inelastic deformation in a plastic hinge region results in plastic rotation. A plastic hinge mainly depends on material characteristics. In this study, a plastic hinge length and plastic rotation are evaluated using the flexural curvature distribution which is derived from the material models given in Eurocode 2. The influence on plastic capacity the limit values of the material model used, that is, ultimate strain of concrete and steel and hardening ratio of steel(k), are investigated. As results, it is appeared that a large ultimate strain of concrete and steel is resulting in large plastic capactiy and also as a hardening ratio of steel increases, the plastic rotation increases significantly. Therefore, a careful attention would be paid to determine the limit values of material characteristics in the RC structures.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new seismic resistant method by using precast concrete wall panels for existing low-rise, reinforced concrete beam-column buildings such as school buildings. Three quasi-static hysteresis loading tests were performed on one unreinforced beam-column specimen and two reinforced specimens with U-type precast wall panels. The results were analyzed to find that the specimen with anchored connection experienced shear failure, while the other specimen with steel plate connection principally manifested flexural failure. The ultimate strength of the specimens was determined to be the weaker of the shear strength of top connection and flexural strength at the critical section of precast panel. In this setup of U-type panel specimens, if a push loading is applied to the reinforced concrete column on one side and push the precast concrete panel, a pull loading from upper shear connection is to be applied to the other side of the top shear connection of precast panel. Since the composite flexural behavior of the two members govern the total behavior during the push loading process, the ultimate horizontal resistance of this specimen was not directly influenced by shear strength at the top connection of precast panel. However, the RC column and PC wall panel member mainly exhibited non-composite behavior during the pull loading process. The ultimate horizontal resistance was directly influenced by the shear strength of top connection because the pull loading from the beam applied directly to the upper shear connection. The analytical result for the internal shear resistance at the connection pursuant to the anchor shear design of ACI 318M-11 Appendix-D, agreed with the experimental result based on the elastic analysis of Midas-Zen by using the largest loading from experiment.

This paper presents the tension stiffening behavior from experimental results of each 6 amorphous steel fibers and normal steel fibers reinforced direct tensile specimens with the main variables such as cover thickness to bar diameter ratio. A tension stiffening effect for steel fiber reinforced RC tension members improve on the increase in cover thickness, and also amorphous steel fiber is usually superior to normal steel fiber. The reinforcement of steel fibers controlled the splitting cracks and led to significant increase in the tension stiffening effect. In particular, if cover thickness is more than twice the bar diameter, the amorphous steel fiber reinforced specimen is controlled the splitting crack and increased the tension stiffening effect. And, the tension stiffening effect of amorphous steel fiber reinforced concrete tension members is different to current structural design code provision.
