The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior and characteristics of rubber springs and calculate the compressive stiffness by performing dynamic compression tests of rubber springs. In order to carry out the dynamic compression test of rubber spring, total 9 rubber springs were tailored by calculating the shape factor of L80-D55, L90-D58, and L100-D60, and used for the experiments. Experiments were performed by controlling the compression according to the length of the rubber spring, and the compression was increased in the order of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of the strain. From the experimental results, the force-strain curves were obtained and it was confirmed that strength decrease and strength increase phenomenon occurred as the strain increased. In addition, it was confirmed that the decrease of stiffness and the increase of stiffness were clearly observed according to the size and diameter of the rubber spring, and the effective compression stiffness was estimated using the slope of the force-strain curve. By using the effective compressive stiffness, design values that can be used in actual design were presented.

The performance of the improved soil against liquefaction depends upon the chemical density, and it has been decided on the basis of the unconfined compressive strength of the improved soil up to date. On the other hand, several authors have proposed that the stiffness degradation could be treated as the clue for the judgment of the possibility of liquefaction. In this study, therefore, the stiffness degradation of the improved soil was estimated as the resistance against liquefaction by using the strain controlled cyclic triaxial test equipment. Based on the test results, it is concluded that the chemically treated sand can resist against the liquefaction in aspect of the reduction in effective stress and in the stiffness. Furthermore, even in the case of low chemical density, such as 2% in this study, has enough liquefaction resistance when compared with the 5~6% which often used in practical design. Considering this fact, the design of chemical density based on the unconfined strength can lead the overestimation in chemical density, and chemical density can be reduced when considering the stiffness reduction shown in this study.

In the previous study, direct inelastic strut-and-tie model (DISTM) was developed to perform inelastic design of reinforced concrete members by using linear analysis for their secant stiffness. In the present study, for convenience in design practice, the DISTM was further simplified so that inelastic design of reinforced concrete members can be performed by a run of linear analysis, without using iterative calculations. In the simplified direct inelastic strut-and-tie model (S-DISTM), a reinforced concrete member is idealized with compression strut of concrete and tension tie of reinforcing bars. For the strut and tie elements, elastic stiffness or secant stiffness is used according to the design strategy intended by engineer. To define the failure criteria of the strut and tie elements, concrete crushing and reinforcing bar fracture were considered. The proposed method was applied to inelastic design of various reinforced concrete members including deep beam, coupling beam, and shear wall. The design results were compared with the properties and the deformation capacities of the test specimens.

CFT가 갖는 다양한 구조적 이점으로 인해, 축력이 지배적인 기둥 구조물에만 주로 적용되던 CFT 요소가 점차 거더에 적용되어 가고 있다. 그러나, 현재 CFT 요소에 대한 설계 기준은 축력이 지배적인 보-기둥 구조물에 대한 것으로 제한되어 있으며, 휨이 지배적인 보 구조물에 대한 현행 설계 기준의 적용성을 검토해야 할 필요가 있다. 현행 설계기준에서 제시하고 있는 CFT 요소의 극한 강도 평가방법은 소성응력분배법 및 변형률적합법으로 구분되어지며, 각 방법을 이용한 극한 강도의 평가결과를 기존 연구자들의 CFT 요소 휨 실험결과와 비교 분석하였다. 휨 강성 평가에 대한 타당성을 검증하기 위해 AISC에서 제시하는 휨 강성 평가식을 기존 실험 연구와 비교 검토하였으며, 아울러 압축력에 따라 휨 강성을 보정할 수 있도록 수정된 Roeder et al.의 제안식을 함께 검토하였다. 검토 결과, 강도 평가에 있어서는 설계 기준에서 제안하는 두 방법 모두 CFT 거더의 휨 강도를 적절히 평가할 수 있었으며, 강성 평가에 있어서는 설계 기준의 제안식이 휨 초기 강성을 적절히 평가하는 반면 사용 단계에서의 휨 강성은 Roeder et al.의 수정된 강성 평가식에 의해 적절히 평가할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The composite lattice structures have advantages of high specific stiffness and strength and are mainly applied to the structures of launch vehicles that carry the compressive load. However, since these structures are manufactured by filament winding technology, there are some defects and voids found in the knots. For these reasons, the stiffness and strength of the lattice structures have to be compared with finite element model for predicting design load. But, the full scale test is difficult because time and space are limited and the shape of structure is complex, and hence the simple and reliable test methods for examination of stiffness are needed. In this paper, subelements of composite lattice structures were prepared and compressive and bending test were conducted for examination of stiffness of helical and hoop rib. Test methods for subelements of composite lattice structures that has curved and twisted shape were supposed and compared with finite element analysis results.

공기베어링은 기체으 압축성에 의한 평균화 효과로 운전정밀도가 우수하고 기체의 낮은 점도에 의한 효과로 마찰력과 열발생량이 매우 적으며, 사용가능 온도구간이 저온에서 고온까지 넓고 프로세스 계통내의 기체를 윤활제로 사용할 수 있기 때문에 그 경우 불순물에 의한 오염이 문제되지 않는 장점등이 있다. 이와 같은 특성과 더불어 공기베어링은 지지 물체를 완전히 부상시켜 운전하므로써 마찰$\cdot$마모와 온도변화에 다른 열변형이 문제되지 않는다. 이러한 장점으로 인해서 공기베어링은 현재 정밀기기의 미끄럼면, 각종 측정장치의 테이블지지 기구로 많이 사용되고 있다. 반면 공기베어링의 단점으로는 기체의 낮은 점성계수로 인해서 부하능력이 적고 강성, 감쇄계수 또한 적다. 그리고 기체의 압축성으로 인해 뉴메틱 헤머라는 불안정 현상이 생기기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 스퀴즈 효과를 이용한 능동 공기베어링을 설계, 제작하여 실험하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 강성과 감쇄 계수가 작은 공기 베어링의 단점을 보완하기 위해 드러스트베어링을 대상으로 능동베어링을 설계, 제작하여 그 특성을 연구하고 기초 설계자료를 축적하는데 있다.

In this study, the stiffness of an LMU (Leg Mating Unit), which is a device required for installing the top side part of an offshore structure, was examined through structural analysis. This unit is mounted on the supporting point of the structure and is used to absorb the shock at installation. It is a cylindrical structure with an empty center. To support the vertical load, elastomeric bearings (EBs) and iron plates are laminated in layers. The stiffness of the EBs is basically influenced by the size of the bearings, but it varies with the number of laminated sheets inside the same sized structure. The relationship between the stiffener and the compressive stiffness is investigated, and its design is suggested. The stiffness of the EBs is analyzed by calculating the reaction force, while controlling the displacement. First, the relationship between the size of the reinforcing plate and the compressive stiffness is considered. Next, the relationship between the number of stacked reinforcing plates and the compression stiffness is considered. Different loads are required for each installed point. The goal is to design the compression stiffness in such a way that the same deformation occurs at each point in the analysis. In this study, ANSYS is used to perform the FE analysis.

Compressive flanges of steel box girder is designed based on the ultimate strength behavior of sub-panel which is enclosed with longitudinal stiffeners and transverse stiffeners on appropriate safety factor. However, it is rational that the ultimate strength is calculated considering the various factors such as number and stiffness of longitudinal stiffener, spacing of transverse stiffener, initial deformation and residual stress distribution. In this study, an analysis program based on Folded Plate theory is developed considering the geometric effects and the material nonlinearity. The analysis program is applicated to the steel box girder bridges which is really constructed in domestic.
