The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic optimal design of continuous beams. The computer-aided optimization technique is used to obtain the near-optimal parameters of continuous beam. The computer program is developed to obtain the natural frequency parameters and the forced vibration responses to a transit point load for the continuous beam with variable support spacing, mass and stiffness. The model test data is in good agreement with the computer calculation, which serves to validate the mathematical analysis. The optimization function to describe the design efficiency is defined as a linear combination of four dimensionless span characteristics; the maximum dynamic stress; the stress difference between span segments; the rms deflection under the transit point load; and the total span mass. Studies of three span beams show that the beam with near-optimal parameters can improve design efficiency when compared to a uniform beam with even spacing of the same total span length.

A model for the effective moment of inertia $I_{\epsilon}$ as expressed in Branson's equation, in which reduction of the flexural rigidity of RC beams due to cracking are aptly taken into accoun,t is presented. However, KCI Code isn`t considered tension stiffening as it is in debonding of reinforcing bar. Therefore, this equation need to set up suitable to our design Code. The experimental work consisted of casting and testing a total of 6 simply supported reinforced concrete beams and a total of 4 continuos reinforced concrete beams under two point concentrated loads. Main parameters are concrete strength, coverage, bond between concrete and reinforcing bars, are known as have an effect on deflection and tension stiffening. Every test beams had the same $250{\times}350$mm rectangular section, with a simply supported clear span of 4,400 mm and a continuos clear span of 6,500 mm. Comparison of the test results with values obtained using the KCI Code equation of the effective moment of inertia showed a noticeable difference.

보 유사법을 이용하여 연속 압축재의 유효길이 계수를 각 경간별로 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 보 유사법은 4가지 단계로 요약할수 있는데 그 첫 단계는 주어진 압축재를 이것과 동일한 단면성능 및 경간을 갖는 연속보로 치환하는 것이다. 제 2단계에서는 연속보 각 경간의 중앙에 가상 집중 횡하중을 작용시킨 후 이로 인한 지점들에서의 재단 moment를 계산한다. 이때 각 경간중앙의 가상 집중 횡하중 방향은 좌굴 mode를 고려하여 교호로 바뀌도록 한다. 제 3단계에서는 또 하나의 제안식과 재단 모멘트를 이용하여 Kinney의 부분 고정도를 결정한다. 최종단계에서는 부분 고정도를 이용하여 유효길이를 각 경간별로 산정 한다. 제안한 방법은 다 경간 압축재에서 어느 경간이 맨 먼저 좌굴을 일으키는지 또한 이때의 임계하중은 어떤 값을 갖는지를 예측하게 한다.

The structural behavior of continuous reinforced concrete deep beams is mainly controlled by the mechanical relationships associated with the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, load and support conditions, and material properties. In this study, a simple indeterminate strut-tie model which reflects characteristics of the complicated structural behavior of the continuous deep beams is presented. In addition, the reaction and load distribution ratios defined as the fraction of load carried by an exterior support of continuous deep beam and the fraction of load transferred by a vertical truss mechanism, respectively, are proposed to help structural designers for the analysis and design of continuous reinforced concrete deep beams by using the strut-tie model approaches of current design codes. In the determination of the load distribution ratio, a concept of balanced shear reinforcement ratio requiring a simultaneous failure of inclined concrete strut and vertical steel tie is introduced to ensure a ductile shear failure of reinforced concrete deep beams, and the primary design variables including the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, and concrete compressive strength are implemented after thorough parametric numerical analyses. In the companion paper, the validity of the presented model and load distribution ratio was examined by applying them in the evaluation of the ultimate strength of multiple continuous reinforced concrete deep beams, which were tested to failure.

Twenty-four beam specimens were tested to examine the effect of the maximum aggregate size on the shear behavior of lightweight concrete continuous beams. The maximum aggregate size varied from 4 mm to 19 mm and shear span-to-depth ratio was 2.5 and 0.6 in each all-lightweight, sand-lightweight and normal weight concrete groups. The ratio of the normalized shear capacity of lightweight concrete beams to that of the company normal weight concrete beams was also compared with the modification factor specified in ACI 318-05 for lightweight concrete. The microphotograph showed that some unsplitted aggregates were observed in the failure planes of lightweight concrete beams, which contributed to the enhancement of the shear capacity of lightweight concrete beams. As a result, the normalized shear capacity of lightweight concrete continuous beams increased with the increase of the maximum aggregate size, though the increasing rate was lower than that of normal weight concrete continuous beams. The modification factor specified in ACI 318-05 was generally unconservative in the continuous lightweight concrete beams, showing an increase of the unconservatism with the increase of the maximum aggregate size. In addition, the conservatism of the shear provisions of ACI 318-05 was lower in lightweight concrete beams than in normal weight concrete beams.

In case of the analysis of continuous beams, the complexity increases greatly as the number of spans becomes large, and even the slope-deflection method or the moment distribution method is subject to restriction in its utilization. In this study, a revised exact method is developed for the analysis of continuous beams up to four spans, and a new approximate method is proposed for the multi-span continuous beams. This approximate procedure is very simple in its application and provides very satisfactory results which converge closely on the exact ones. These methods can also be used conveniently especially for drawing influence lines for the support moments of continuous beams, and their value is fully appreciated because of notable simpleness as compared with the conventional method which is mainly based on the Muller-Breslau principle.

The moment distribution method has been widely used for the past sixty years for determining the end moments of structural frames. However, the method trends to show more complexity of the procedures and approximation of the results as the degree of indeterminancy increases. The previous study proposed closed form formulas for the analysis of the continuous beams up to four spans. These formulars show simpler forms and provide perfectly rigorous solution in comparision with the moment distribution method. This study proposes closed form formulas for the analysis of multi-span continuous beams which are basically similar to the equations developed in the previous study. It is shown that these formulars may also produce more rigorous results and lead to simpler calculation processes. The proposed approach may be one of the new methods for the analysis of multi-span continuous beams or the rigid frames.

Twelve reinforced concrete continuous deep beams having web openings within interior shear spans were tested to failure. All beams tested had the same geometrical dimensions. The main variables investigated were the opening size and amount of inclined reinforcement around openings. An effective inclined reinforcement factor combining the influence of the opening size and amount of inclined reinforcement on the structural behavior of the beams tested is proposed. It was observed that the load distribution, diagonal crack width, and load capacity of beams tested were greatly dependent on the effective inclined reinforcement factor which ranged from 0 to 0.171 for the test specimens. The higher this factor, the smaller the diagonal crack width and its development rate. A higher load capacity also developed in beams having effective inclined reinforcement factor above 0.077 than in the corresponding solid deep beams. A numerical technique based on the upper bound analysis of the plasticity theory is proposed to evaluate the load capacity of continuous deep beams having openings within interior shear spans. Predictions obtained from the proposed formulas are in good agreement with test results.

보는 하천을 횡단하는 대표적인 수공구조물로써 수위를 유지하여 각종 용수의 취수 기능 및 주운 기능을 가지고 있다. 그러나 보를 설치할 경우 상류부의 유속이 점차 감소하여 유사 퇴적이 일어나며, 흐름 정체에 따른 수질 저하 및 수위 상승의 원인을 제공한다. 이러한 보의 단점을 개선하기 위해 래버린스 보에 대한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. Hay 등(1970) 연구에 따르면 래버린스 보의 월류능력은 동일 수두 조건에서 선형 보보다 높은 특성을 가진다. 또한 Tsang(2000) 연구에 따르면 큰 유량 및 낮은 월류고 조건에서 폭기 효율이 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 박호상(2009) 연구에 따르면 경사형 마루 래버린스 보가 일반형 래버린스 보의 수심유지 범위보다 더 크며, 산소전달효율도 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 기존 보에서 발생되는 유사퇴적 및 흐름정체 등의 문제는 여전히 존재하였다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 유사의 연속성을 유지하고 흐름의 정체를 해소하는 퇴적방지 구조를 구비한 래버린스 보(현대건설, 2011)를 제안하였다(그림 1, 2 참조). 본 연구에서는 퇴적방지 구조를 구비한 래버린스 보의 홍수안정성 및 유사연속성에 대한 효과를 3차원 수치모형(FLOW-3D)을 통해 분석하였다. 수치모의에 사용된 수로 연장은 9.25 m이고 폭은 0.82 m이며, 상류의 수심변화에 따라 수치모의를 수행하였다. 수치모의 결과 에너지 감세 효과와 상류의 수심을 유지하는 효과가 나타났다. 또한 이격된 벽체로 흐르는 유속에 의해 래버린스 보 내의 마찰속도가 증가하였다. 이러한 결과, 퇴적방지 구조를 구비한 래버린스 보가 홍수 안정성 및 유사배제에 효과가 있는 기술로써 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 향후, 수리모형실험을 통한 연구가 수행된다면 수리특성에 관한 기초자료를 통해 설계 인자가 도출될 수 있을 것이며 나아가 기술의 상용화에도 크게 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
