The butt lap joint structures which are usually designed by the concept of slow crack growth damage tolerance, show frequently the behaviors of multiple site fatigue crack growth around the fastener hole edges due to the fretting between the two jointed parts. In this paper, experimental tests of fatigue crack growth have been performed of a bolted butt lap joint structure having an initial corner crack at the fastener hole edge, with different fretting conditions under a flight load spectrum. The obtained test results were reviewed to investigate the effects of fretting fatigue cracks on the damage tolerance crack growth life. Computations of corner crack growth were also carried out using an existed model to compare with test results.

An under-tension system is frequently employed for large-span structures to reduce the deflection and member size. In this study, a microgenetic algorithm was used to find the optimum cross-section of truss structures with an undertension cable under transverse loading. Maximum deflection, allowable stress, and buckling were considered constraints. The proposed approach was verified using a 10-bar truss sample that shows good agreement with the previous results. In the numerical results, minimum-weight design of the under-tension structure was performed for various magnitudes of pretension.

Innovative prestressed steel plate girders were presented in this study. Hot-rolled H beams were loaded first, then relatively high-strengthsteel plates were welded on the top and bottom flanges of preloaded H beams. Finally, high prestressed plate (HiPP) girder was manufactured by simply releasing prestresses of rolled beams. To verify prestress distributions induced in this girder, the experimental study was conducted and some guidelines to manufacture these girders effectively were addressed. In addition, methods to determine the allowable bending stress of HiPP girders and to check welding stresses were addressed for design of temporary bridges. The efficiency and effectiveness of the present girder were demonstrated through design examples of temporary bridges adapting the prestress-induced girder or the plate girder of the same section without prestresses. As a result, it has been found to be possible that the span length of HiPP girders for temporary bridges is longer than that of girders without prestresses.

최근 비약적인 경제발전에 힘입어 장대교량, 항만, 댐, 도로, 원자력 발전소 등과 같은 대규모 기간구조물의 건설이 증가하고 있으며, 구조물은 대형화 혹은 고강도화되는 추세에 있다. 특히, 전술한 구조물을 매스콘크리트로 가설하게 되면 초기재령시에 수화열로 인한 균열이 발생할 가능성이 매우 높기 때문에 효율적인 매스콘크리트의 개발과 매스콘크리트 구조물의 설계기술 및 시공방법이 중요한 연구대상으로 등장하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 가로 52.6m, 세로 14.4m, 높이 8.5m의 기계기초 매스콘크리트의 시공에 적합한 온도관리기법을 다음과 같은 단계로 제안하고자 한다. 먼저 온도상승요인을 최소화하는 콘크리트의 배합비를 산정한다. 산정된 콘크리트의 열특성을 측정하기 위해 단열온도실험을 수행하여 각종 열특성상수와 단열온도 상승곡선식을 도출한다. 이와 같은 열특성치를 콘크리트 구조체에 적용하여 열응력해석을 수행한다. 이와 같은 열응력해석을 통하여 구조물의 분할타설높이에 따라 온도균열이 발생하지 않는 콘크리트 내외부의 온도차를 결정한다. 이때 열응력해석에 범용 유한요소 프로그램인 Diana을 사용한다. 콘크리트의 타설은 현장조건과 타설시점을 최대로 고려하고 양생방법으로 콘크리트 내외부의 온도차를 최소화하기 위해 이중단열효과가 있는 거푸집과 가열장비을 사용한다. 또한 콘크리트의 온도관리를 위하여 구조물 내외부에 온도게이지를 매립하고 30분마다 계측을 수행하면서 콘크리트 내외부 온도차가 허용 해석범위를 유지하도록 한다. 양생기간은 7-10일 정도를 유지한다. 전술한 온도관리기법을 통하여 완공후 수평정밀도가 기초의 허용침하량으로 환산하여 $1{\mu}m$ 인 고정밀도의 기계기초는 완벽하게 시공되었다. 따라서 매스콘크리트의 온도균열을 제어할 수 있는 시공방법으로 제안한다. 또한 매스콘크리트의 내외부 온도차를 단열온도실험과 온도해석으로부터 정한 값이내로 제어하고 충분한 양생관리를 병행하면 수화열에 의한 콘크리트의 온도균열을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm, which can be designed the optimal sections of the composite framed structures constituted with the beams and the columns consisted of H type of steel section and concrete considering the reliability index. The optimized problem or the composite framed structures is formulated with the objective function and the constraints taking the section sizes as the design variables. The objective functions are constituted by the total costs of constructions. Also, the constraints are derived by considering the reliability index of section stress and allowable stress. The algorithm optimized the section of the composite framed structures utilizes the SUMT method using the modified Newton-Raphson direction method. The optimizing algorithm developed in this study is applied to the numerical examples with respecting a one-bay, one-story composite framed structure and a one-bay five-story one for the practical utilization of design on the composite framed structures using the reliability indices$({\beta})$ three and zero. In addition, their numerical results are compared and analyzed to examine the possibility of optimization the applicability, and the convergence this algorithm.

In this work the replacement material for magnesium alloy was investigated and an optimized design was suggested for the horizontal fin of a fighter's external fuel tank. For the replacement of magnesium alloy, Aluminum alloy, AL 2034-T351, was selected by considering material properties and its procurement. The strength and fracture toughness properties of AL 2034-T351 are stronger than those of magnesium alloy, but the specific weight of AL 2034-T351 is heavier than that of magnesium alloy by 65%. To meet the allowable limit of C.G. shift in the tank, the design of horizontal fin was optimized by reducing the original shape by 20% and resizing the maximum thickness to 7 mm. From the results of the static and dynamic stress analysis for improving the safety factor of the joint section and the joint hole, the radius of curvature in the aft joint section of the new fin was designed as 8.5mm.

Large valves for steam turbines of fossil power plants are exposed to a severe mechanical and thermal loading resulting from steam with high pressure and high temperature. Valve casings are designed to withstand such a loading. During the operation of a plant, temperatures at inner and outer surface of the casings are measured and steam flow is controlled so that the measured difference is lower than the maximum allowable value determined in the design stage. In this paper, a method is presented to calculate the maximum allowable temperature difference at the inner and outer surface of valve casings for steam turbines of fossil power plants. The finite element method is used to analyze distribution of temperature and stresses of a casing under the operating condition. Low cycle fatigue and creep rupture are taken into consideration to determine the maximum allowable temperature difference. The method can be usefully applied in the design stage of the large valves for the steam turbines, contributing to safe and reliable operation of the fossil power plants.

High temperature superconducting (HTS) generators for wind power systems are attractively researched with the advantages of high efficiency and smaller size compared with conventional generator. However, the HTS generators have high Lorentz force problem, which acts on HTS field coils due to their high current density and magnetic field. This paper deals with characteristic analysis of the modularized HTS field coil for a 750 kW superconducting wind power generator according to field coil structure. The modularized HTS field coil structure was designed based on the electromagnetic and mechanical analysis results obtained using a 3D finite element method. The electromagnetic force of the module coil was also analyzed. As a result, the perpendicular and maximum magnetic fields of the HTS coils were 2.5 T and 3.9 T, respectively. The maximum stress of the supports was less than the allowable stress of the glass-fiber reinforced plastic material, and displacement was within the acceptable range. The design specifications and the results of the HTS module coil structure can be effectively utilized to develop large-scale superconducting wind power generators.

In this study, the results of the elasto-plastic beam analysis, finite element analysis and optimization design of the steel pipe sheet pile applied as an earth retaining wall under the deep excavation were presented. Through this study, it was found that the high-strength and sea resistant steel pipe has high allowable stress, excellent structural properties, favorable corrosion, and high utilization as an earth retaining wall, and the C-Y type joint has significantly improved the tensile strength and stiffness compared to the traditional P-P type. In addition, it was investigated that even if the leak or defect of the wall occurs during construction, it has the advantage of being able to be repaired reliably through welding and overlapping. In the case of steel pipe wall, they were evaluated as the best in views of the deep excavation due to the large allowable bending stress and deformation flexibility for the same horizontal displacement than CIP or slurry wall. Elasto-plastic and finite element analysis were conducted in consideration of ground excavation under large-scale earth pressure (uneven pressure), and the results were compared with each other. Quantitative maximum value were found to be similar between the two methods for each item, such as excavation behavior, wall displacement, or member force, and both analysis method were found to be applicable in design for steel pipe sheet pile wall. Finally, it was found that economical design was possible when determining the thinnest filling method with concrete rather than the thickest hollow shape in the same diameter, and the depth (the embedded length through normality evaluation) without rapidly change in displacement and member force.

Recent years, the response characteristics of large space structures have been studied. Then, for the large space structures with large rise-span ratio, it is clarified that the anti-symmetric mode are representatively amplified. That means the static seismic load for general ramen structure is not suitable for the space structure. In this paper, we propose static seismic loads for space structures and its concept. And for the space structures of beam string structures, execute the time history analysis and quasi static analysis and compare the results of them. From the results, we can prove the validity of static seismic load for space structure.
