One of the reasons for brittle failure in reinforced concrete structures subjected to severe earthquake is due to large local bond-slippage of bars resulting in fast bond degradation between reinforcing bars and concrete. This study aims to evaluate effects of bar deformation height on bond performance, specially, bond degradation under cyclic loading. Bond test specimens were constructed with machined bars with high relative rib areas. The degree of confinement by transverse bars is also another key parameters in this bond test. From test results, amounts of energy dissipation are calculated and compared for each parameter. Test results show that bond strength and stiffness drops significantly as cycles increases. The confinement and high relative rib area are effective to delay bond degradation, as the reduction of bond strength of cyclic loading compared to monotonic loading decreased for bars with large confinement and high relative rib areas. The energy dissipation also increases as the degree of confinement and relative rib area increases. However, tested bars with very high rib areas show that the bond may be damaged at relatively small slip because of high stiffness. The study will help to understand the bond degradation mechanism due to bar deformation height under cyclic loading and be useful to develop new deformed bars with high relative rib areas.

In this study, a comparative analysis have been conducted to examine seismic reinforcement effect of a school building that is designed with a CBD (Channel Beam Damper) system supported by H-frame with existing non-seismic RC frame. As a result of experiment, seismic reinforcement specimen with CBD system showed hysteretic characteristics of a large ellipse with great energy dissipation ability and increased strength and stiffness, while non-seismic design specimen showed rapid reduction in strength and brittle shear failure at top and bottom of the left and right column. In addition, comparing the stiffness reduction between the two specimens, CBD system was effective in preventing the reduction of stiffness. Energy dissipation ability of specimen reinforced by CBD system was about 4.0 times higher than the non-reinforced specimen. Such enhancement in energy dissipation ability could be considered as the result of improved strength and deformation for further application in designing of seismic reinforcement.

In this study, to examine seismic reinforcement effect of a school building constructed prior to application of seismic design, a Double I-type damper supported by wall was installed to perform comparative analysis on existing non-seismic designed RC frame. As a result of experiment, while non-seismic designed specimen showed rapid reduction in strength and brittle shear destruction as damages were focused on top and bottom of left and right columns, reinforced specimen showed hysteretic characteristics of a large ellipse with great energy absorption ability, exhibiting perfectly behavior with increased strength and stiffness from damper reinforcement. In addition, as a result of comparing stiffness reduction between the two specimens, specimen reinforced by shear wall type damper was effective in preventing stiffness reduction. Energy dissipation ability of specimen reinforced by Double I-type damper was about 3.5 times as high as energy dissipation ability of non-reinforced specimen. Such enhancement in energy dissipation ability is considered to be the result of improved strength and deformation.

In this study, a shear experiment was conducted to evaluate the structural performance of RC members according to the shape of web opening reinforcement. For a total of 4 RC members specimens, the main variables were with or without web openings, with or without web opening reinforcement, and shape of web opening reinforcement, respectively. In this study, a spiral web opening reinforcement with a mixture of square and octagonal shapes was proposed and compared with the existing band type. As a result of the experiment, the specimen with the proposed web opening reinforcement showed that the shear capacity and the energy dissipation capacity increased compared to other specimens. It was confirmed that the web opening reinforcement proposed in this study had a positive effect on the shear performance and crack control of RC members with web openings.

Hydraulic dual chamber, as the simulator for a dual pulse rocket motor, was tested by a high pressure device with various orifice-hole size being applied. Pressure difference occurs between 1st chamber and 2nd chamber depending on area ratio of the orifice to nozzle throat. Studying a design configuration of the orifice is essential to the motor development because pressure difference severely affects the rocket motor performance. It is noticed in this study that energy dissipation is caused by the vortex flow originating from the orifice as the 2nd chamber is operated. The flow field is simulated by a commercial computational fluid dynamics program, ANSYS FLUENT V14.5.

Recently, there has been a tendency to improve seismic performance of building structure by installing a steel hysteretic damping device which is economically efficient and easy to install and maintain. However, for a reinforced concrete building, a set of complicated connecting hardware and braces to fix the steel hysteretic damping device yields deteriorated reliability in damping performance. Therefore, this study presents a method of directly embedding a Kagome damper, which was investigated in previous researches, into a concrete structure without additional connecting hardware. Moreover, in this study, a series of experiments conducted to provide a basis of the Kagome damper by confirming the seismic behavior for various embedded lengths. As a result, in a group of the embedded length of $1.0l_d$, the dampers were pulled out, while concrete breakout occurs. In a group of $2.0l_d$, neither pull-out nor concrete breakout occurred, while the dampers show stable behavior. Moreover, the buried length of $2.0l_d$ has 1.3 times better energy dissipation capacity. The system presented in this study can reduce the cost and period for installing, omitting making additional hardware.

국지성 집중호우에 따른 도심지 내수 침수 피해의 주원인으로 하수관거의 설계기준을 초과하는 강우가 침수피해의 주요 원인이며, 도심화로 인해 불투수 면적이 증가함에 따라 유출되는 시간이 짧아 저지대의 피해는 불가피하다. 2010년과 2011년에 100년 이상의 강우사상이 서울시에 연이어 나타나면서 집중호우로 인한 피해지역이 유사하게 나타났으며, 광화문 거리의 연이은 침수는 현재 서울시의 하수관거의 용량과 빗물펌프장 및 저류조 시설로 구성된 기존 수방대책의 한계점을 보이고 있다. 이에 서울시는 광화문 일대의 배수능력을 향상시키기 위하여 효자배수분구 빗물배수터널을 계획하고 있다. 일본, 미국 및 유럽 등지에서는 대심도 지하수로 시설에 대한 수리실험 및 수치 연구를 바탕으로 다양한 지하방수로가 건설되어 국지성 집중 강우에 대해 적절히 대응하고 있으나, 국내의 경우에는 대심도 지하방수로 시설에 대한 연구가 미비하여 지하방수로 설계 지침 및 기술적 자료가 부족한 실정이다. 그러므로 대심도 빗물배수터널 시설에서의 흐름특성 분석에 관한 수리실험 및 수치해석 등의 구체적인 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형 실험의 물질적 및 시간적 한계를 극복하기 위하여 일반적으로 3차원 유체거동의 특성분석에 많이 사용되는 Fluent 6.3 모형을 이용하여 대심도 빗물배수터널 시설의 접선식 유입구에 대한 흐름특성을 수치모의 하였다. 접선식 유입구 및 수직갱(drop shaft)에 대한 기하 모형의 격자망은 수치해석의 안정성 확보를 위하여 그림 1과 같이 6면체 격자로 구성하였다. 맨홀 내의 다상유동을 고려하기 위하여 VOF(Volume of Fluid) Scheme을 적용하였으며, 수치해석 방법으로는 비정상류, 1st order implicit method를 사용하였다. Fluent에서의 난류 흐름을 계산하는 방법에는 난류 운동에너지와 난류 에너지 소산율 $\epsilon$의 전달 방정식을 도입한 k-$\epsilon$ 난류 모형을 채택하였다.

The applicability of headed bars in exterior beam-column joints under reversed cyclic loading was investigated. A total of ten pullout tests were first performed to examine pullout behavior of headed bars subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading with test variables such as connection type between head and bar stem (weld or no weld), loading methods (monotonic or cyclic loading), and head shape (small or large circular head and square head). Two full-scale beam-column joint tests were then performed to compare the structural behavior of exterior beam-column joints constructed using two different reinforcement details: i.e. $90^{\circ}$ standard hooks and headed bars. Both joints were designed following the recommendations of ACI-ASCE Committee 352 for Type 2 performance: i.e. the connection is required to dissipate energy through reversals of deformation into inelastic range. The pullout test results revealed that welded head to the stem did not necessarily result in increased pullout strength when compared to non-welded head. Relatively large circular head resulted in higher peak load than smaller circular and square head. Both beam-column joints with conventional $90^{\circ}$ hooks and headed bars behaved similarly in terms of crack development, hysteresis curves, and peak strengths. The joint using the headed bars showed better overall structural performance in terms of ductility, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation. These experimental results demonstrate that the headed bars using relatively small head can be properly designed far use in external beam-column joint.
