There is a complex variation of stress in PSC anchorage zones and box girder diaphragms because of large concentrated load by prestress. According to the AASHTO LFRD design code, three-dimensional effects due to concentrated jacking loads shall be investigated using three-dimensional analysis procedures or may be approximated by considering separate submodels for two or more planes. In this case, the interaction of the submodels should be considered, and the model loads and results should be consistent. However, box girder diaphragms are 3-dimensional disturbed region which requires a fully three-dimensional model, and two-dimensional models are not satisfactory to model the flow of forces in diaphragms. In this study, the strengths of the prestressed box girder diaphragms are predicted using the 3-dimensional grid strut-tie model approach, which were tested to failure in University of Texas. According to the analysis results, the 3-dimensional strut-tie model approach can be possibly applied to the analysis and design of PSC box girder anchorage zones as a reasonable computer-aided approach with satisfied accuracy.

Far ultraviolet IMaging Spectrograph (FIMS) should be designed to maintain its structural stability and to minimize optical performance degradation in launch and in operation enviroments. The structural and thermal analyzes of grating and grating mount system, which are directly related to FIMS optical performance, was performed using finite element method. The grating mount was made to keep the grating stress down, while keeping the natural frequency of the grating mount higher than 100 Hz. Transient and static thermal analyzes were also performed and the results shows that the thermal stress on the grating can be attenuated sufficiently. The optical performance variation due to temperature variation was with the allowed range.

This study was performed to estimate the anchorage behavior for Bi Prestressed Concrete Girder(Bicon girder) which could introduce effectively prestressed forces into concrete girders. A bicon girder is manufactured by means of introducing pure bending moment that prestress simultaneously the compressive member(steel bar) and the tensile member(steel tendon). Therefore, the steel bar and the steel tendon must be unified in both ends and compressive and tensile force be offset. Anchorage dimension of 6 test specimens was designed under PTI specification which defined maximum stress and deformation to estimate structural behavior. Test results showed that the stress and the deformation of anchorage were within limits if the steel bar behaviored elastically.

Nearshore and offshore pipelines are often applied to carry oil, gas, water and combined products. The thermal and pressure gradients of the fluid inside pipeline cause pipeline expansion. This expansion produces stress to connecting structures with pipeline. Should this stress exceeds the yield strength of connecting components or the allowable displacement of the system, a damage can occur. As most pipelines contain hazardous and toxic fluids, the damage usually leads to fatal accidents involving great economic loss as well. Even subsea pipelines can be easily applied to transport liquid type fluid without time and space constraint, they should be designed and maintained carefully to be functional safely during design lifetime. In this paper, various theories estimating pipeline thermal expansion are investigated and the effects of pipe components to expansion are studied.

Vibration responses of a centrifugal pump required dynamic analysis for seismic qualification, were calculated by using spectrum analysis, which is known to be very simple compared with time domain analysis. Modal analysis was performed and the results were utilized in the spectrum analysis. The vibration responses calculated from the spectrum analysis were more conservative than those from the time domain analysis, that is, the former can be used as safer in design process. The pump was qualified for the specified seismic service conditions as specified in IEEE 344-1987. The maximum stresses were less than allowable stress limits. Based on the analysis results, it is concluded that the pump meets all the dynamic requirements of the applicable codes, standards, and technical specification.

A general composite section of precast and cast-in-place concrete with prestressed and nonprestressed reinforcements was analyzed to calculate residual stresses and loss of prestressing force caused by internal constraints of concrete long-term deformation. From the analytical results, equations to design additional prestressing force and to evaluate resistant moment of the composite section were proposed. The equations shows that the additional prestressing force can be over-estimated if the loss rate of the first prestressing force is over-estimated from the lumped sum of a design code. The analytical procedure with the proposed equations has been applied to a composite section using the AASHTO Type 5 girder. The loss rates of the additional prestressing force appling to the precast concrete girder was less than those appling to the composite girder. However, the resistant moment of the additional prestressing force on the composite girder was much larger than that on the precast concrete girder. The additional prestressing force appling to the composite section was very effective for strengthening of the prestressed concrete composite girder.

Segment lining applied to the TBM tunnel is mainly made of concrete, and it requires sufficient structural capacity to resist loads received during the construction and also after the completion. When segment lining is design to the Limit State Design, both Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Service Limit State (SLS) should be met for the possible load cases that covers both permanent and temporary load cases - such as load applied by TBM. When design segment lining, it is important to check structural capacity at the joints as both temporary and permanent loads are always transferred through the segment joints, and sometimes the load applied to the joint is high enough to damage the segment - so called bursting failure. According to the various design guides from UK (PAS 8810, 2016), compression stress at the joint surface can generate bursting failure of the segment. This is normally from the TBM's jacking force applied at the circumferential joint, and the lining's hoop thrust generated from the permanent loads applied at the radial joint. Therefore, precast concrete segment lining's joints shall be designed to have sufficient structural capacity to resist bursting stresses generated by the TBM's jacking force and by the hoop thrust. In this study, bursting stress at the segment joints are calculated, and the joint's structural capacity was assessed using Leonhardt (1964) and FEM analysis for three different design cases. For those three analysis cases, hoop thrust at the radial joint was calculated with the application of the most widely used limit state design codes Eurocode and AASHTO LRFD (2017). For the circumferential joints bursting design, an assumed TBM jack force was used with considering of the construction tolerance of the segments and the eccentricity of the jack's position. The analysis results show reinforcement is needed as joint bursting stresses exceeds the allowable tensile strength of concrete. This highlights that joint bursting check shall be considered as a mandatory design item in the limit state design of the segment lining.

현재 국내에서 사용하고 있는 교량구조물의 성능평가방법으로는 크게 공용하중에 대한 내하율을 구하기 위하여 허용응력개념이나 강도설계 개념을 적용한 내하력 평가 기법이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 위의 방법들은 일반적으로 공용연수의 경과에 따른 재료 및 구조적 성능의 손실과 여러 가지 하중 및 환경적 요인들의 불확실성으로 인하여 발생하는 손상 및 열화를 반영하기 어렵다. 그리고 제원 및 재료물성치의 불확실성에 대한 기존 설계 자료의 DB 부족으로 기존의 평가방법에서는 이러한 시간의 경과에 따른 성능저하를 정확히 산정할 수 없어 이론상의 값과 실제 구조물과의 차이로 인한 불확실성이 존재 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 공용년수 경과에 따른 시설물의 재료 구조적인 성능 및 거동분석 수행, 신뢰성 해석 수행을 바탕으로 교량 안전성 평가의 합리성 및 현실성을 제고하며, 구조 신뢰성 해석을 수행함으로써 실제 구조물의 강도 한계상태에 대한 파괴확률을 산정하고 그에 대응하는 위험도를 평가함으로써 안전성 검토를 수행하였다. 본 실험을 통해 1. 재료 강도, 부재 제원, 긴장력, 작용하중 등에 있어 설계 시 가정과 실제 사용 환경 사이의 변동성이 존재한다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 2. 연구 수행 결과 일반 정밀진단 및 해석에서는 얻을 수 없는 다양하고 중요한 결과를 산출할 수 있었으며 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 개선된 성능평가 기법이 제안 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 교량의 주부재에 교량용 고성능강을 적용하여 설계해 본 후, 이러한 적용이 교량의 진동사용성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 그 영향을 분석해 보고자 한다. 최근들어 교량상의 구조적인 결함이 없더라도 진동에 의해 교량을 통행하는 운전자나 보행자에게 불안감을 주는 경우가 빈번히 발생하기 때문에 진동사용성이란 문제는 보다 부각되고 있다. 특히 고성능강이 개발되고 이를 교량에 적용하게 되면 허용응력의 증가로 이어져 거더의 형고감소를 가능하게 한다. 그러나 이러한 형고의 감소는 교량의 휨강성을 저하시켜 사용성의 악화를 초래할 것이란 예측이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 차량-교량의 상호작용에 의해 발생하는 진동영향의 분석을 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램인 Abaqus 6.10을 이용해 수치해석을 수행하였고 이때의 진동영향을 평가했다. 차량-교량 상호작용의 해석을 위해 ASSHTO 기준의 HS 20-44 차량을 해석 대상교량 위로 주행하도록 하였다. 해석대상교량은 인장강도가 각각 600MPa와 800MPa인 교량용 고성능강재(HSB, High-Performance Steel for Bridge)를 적용하여 주거더를 설계한 강플레이트 거더교를 대상으로 삼았다. 차량이 교량을 통과하면서 발생하는 교량의 경간 중앙부에서 발생하는 수직진동의 시간이력을 분석하여 진동평가의 기준으로 삼았다. 해석결과 HSB600과 HSB800으로 각각 설계된 교량은 가속도이력에서는 큰 차이가 없었으나 변위이력에서는 HSB800적용 교량이 진동사용성 측면에서 매우 불리한 거동을 보였다. 따라서 고성능강 적용에 따른 교량의 진동사용성을 평가하기 위해서는 변위를 기준으로한 평가가 이루어져야하며, 변위의 진동을 제어하기 위한 방안이 모색되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The 1995 Kobe earthquake caused a massive damage to the Port of Kobe. Therefore, it was pointed out that it was impossible to design port structures for Level II (Mw 6.5) earthquakes with quasi-static analysis and Allowable Stress Design methods. In Japan and the United States, where earthquakes are frequent, the most advanced design standards for port facilities are introduced and applied, and the existing seismic design standards have been converted to performance-based design. Since 1999, the Korean Port Seismic Design Act has established a definition of necessary facilities and seismic grades through research on facilities that require seismic design and their seismic grades. It has also established a performance-based seismic design method based on experimental verification. In the performance-based seismic design method of the breakwater proposed in this study, the acceleration time history on the surface of the original ground was subjected to a fast Fourier transform, followed by a filter processing that corrected the frequency characteristics corresponding to the maximum allowable displacement with respect to performance level of the breakwater and the filtered spectrum. The horizontal seismic coefficient for the equivalent static analysis considering the displacement was calculated by inversely transforming (i.e., subjected to an inverse fast Fourier transform) into the acceleration time history and obtaining the maximum acceleration value. In addition, experiments and numerical analysis were performed to verify the performance-based seismic design method of breakwaters suitable for domestic earthquake levels.
