Rock behaves in a complex way due to the discontinuities. To describe the complicated failure and deformation behavior of rock, many researches were focused on the development of crack models. This study discusses the validity of the sliding and shear crack model to systematically fractured rock, i.e. coal. The model was also implemented into a numerical analysis. For that, a finite element program was modified in several ways. To describe the transverse isotropy in two-dimensional analysis, the stress-strain relationship was modified for the direction of the axis of symmetry. Also, the changes of the effective elastic moduli according to the crack growth were calculated. A simple example of two-dimensional laboratory uniaxial compression test was analyzed. The results coincided with the observations obtained from the laboratory tests.

The dynamic properties of soils are affected by parameters like, gradation characteristics, void ratio, confining pressure, etc. . This study mainly investigated experimentally the effect of gradation on the dynamic properties of sands with the effect of void ratio and confining pressure. Test results showed that shear modulus/damping ratio was increased/decreased with the decrease of void ratio and with the increase of confining pressure. When the fine content increased, shear modulus/damping ratio was decreased/increased. This study explained this phenomenon by the concept of the "effective number of contacts" and the "dead space".ot;dead space".uot;.

콘크리트의 물리적 특성치인 크리이프, 건조수축, 탄성계수 및 포아슨비등은 배차조건, 부재의 크기, 양생 및 재하조건 등 많은 요소들의 영향을 받고있다. 특히 크리이프와 건조수축은 복잡한 시간의존성 특성(time-dependent properties)으로 인해 아직까지도 이 분야에 대한 연구가 계속되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 불확실성이 많은 콘크리트의 장기거동에 따른 물리적 특성규명을 위하여 재하재령을 변화(7, 28, 90, 180, 365일) 시키면서 크리이프, 탄성계수, 포아슨비등을 측정, 분석함으로써 콘크리트 장기거동 예측식을 제시하였으며, 이는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물에서의 시간에 따른 응력손실을 고려한 유효 프리스트레스 응력 산정 및 구조물의 건전성 평가에 실질적 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

등가선형이론을 이용한 지진응답해석은 사용의 간편함 때문에 많이 사용되고 있지만, 대부분의 입력 정수들이 경험식에 의해 얻어지고 있어 심각한 오류를 발생시킬 여지가 있다. 입력정수를 실험의 결과로부터 얻을수 없다면 합리적인 방법을 통하여 입력 정수를 결정하여야 하며, 또한 입력 정수들이 해석결과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 입력정수가 해석결과에 미치는 영향에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 해석은 등가선형화 이론에 기초하여 개발한 액상화 해석프로그램(KLIq)을 이용하였다. 검토된 사항은 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비의 영향, 변형률의 영향, 반복계산에서 유효변형률 결정방법, 최대전자탄성계수의 영향, 변형률 의존곡선(자반의 종류)의 영향, 입력 지질파의 영향 등이다.

Shrinkage strains of concrete slab in multi-story building are restrained by structural members such as columns or walls, then can induce cracks due to excessive shrinkage stress over tensile strength of member. In this study, a shrinkage stress analysis method of concrete slab in multi-story building considering not only material properties such as shrinkage, creep and reinforcement effect but also construction sequence is proposed. Tensile stresses of slab due to shrinkage are calculated by converting shrinkage strains into equivalent temperature gradients, creep that can release shrinkage stress can be considered by replacing the modulus of elasticity of concrete, Ec , to the effective secant modulus of elasticity of concrete, E$\_$eff/ Reinforcements are also considered by modeling them as equivalent beam elements in FEM program. Results of step by step analysis reflecting construction sequence summed up to calculate stresses of the whole building considering that shrinkage stresses of the building come from the difference of shrinkage between i-th floor and (i-1)-th floor, named as effecitive shrinkage, and it can be varied by construction sequence. The results of 10-story example building show that shrinkage stresses of lower floors are greater than those of upper floors, that is, stresses of lower floors(1∼2FI.) exceed modulus of rupture of concrete, but stress ratios of higher floors are in the range of 27.9∼92.8%.

In the current research, an algorithm of performance-based seismic retrofit design of reinforced concrete columns using FRP jacket has been proposed. For exact prediction of the nonlinear flexural analysis or FRP composite RC members, multiaxial constitutive laws of concrete and composite materials have been presented. For seismic retrofit design, an algorithm of direct displacement-based design method (DDM) proposed by Chopra and Goel (2001) has been newly applied to determine the design thickness of FRP jacket in seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete columns. To compare with the displacement coefficient method (DCM), the DDM gives an accurate prediction of the target displacement in highly nonlinear region, since the DCM uses the elastic stiffness before reaching the yield load as the effective stiffness but the DDM uses the secant stiffness.

[ $Cu-TiB_2$ ] metal matrix composites with various weight fractions of $TiB_2$ were fabricated by combination of manufacturing process, SPS (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis) and SPS (spark plasma sintering). The feasibility of $Cu-TiB_2$ composites for welding electrodes and sliding contact material was investigated through experiments on the tensile properties, hardness and wear resistance. To obtain desired properties of composites, composites are designed according to reinforcement's shape, size and volume fraction. Thus proper modeling is essential to predict the effective material properties. The elastic moduli of composites obtained by FEM and tensile test were compared with effective properties from the original Eshelby model, Eshelby model with Mori-Tanaka theory and rule-of-mixture. FEM result showed almost the same value as the experimental modulus and it was found that Eshelby model with Mori-Tanaka theory predicted effective modulus the best among the models.

In this study, compression and shear characteristics of laminated rubber bearings and lead rubber bearings with various parameters are investigated by using material and geometric nonlinear three-dimensional finite element analysis. Rubber coupon tests are performed to make a model of the laminated rubber bearings. In addition, the material constants of the rubber are calculated by the curve fitting process of stress-strain relationship. The finite element analysis and experimental tests of the laminate rubber bearings are used to verify the validity of the rubber material constants. It is seen that the compression behavior of the laminated rubber bearings and lead rubber bearings mainly varies depending on the first shape factors and their shear behavior significantly varies depending on the second shape factors. In addition, the horizontal stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of lead rubber bearing are increased when the diameter of a lead bar is increased.

Most of the MEMS parts are made of multi-grain silicon wafer, which is the orthotropic material and its material direction is arbitrary. The reliability of the parts must be guaranteed in order to use for the commercial usage. The need of the structural analysis of its parts emerges an important factor. The material properties of the MEMS parts are calculated by the numerical method in order to reduce a material test. In this study, the effective elastic modulus and its Poisson's ratio are calculated by the boundary element method(BEM) and are compared with the results by the finite element method(FEM).

Cracks in RC members occurred as a result of material and structural factors. The crack width and a crack location are very difficult to examine. A direct crack control method and indirect crack control method to control a crack are presented in the KHBDC (LSD) and KSCDC (2012). In the KSCDC text, cracks are controlled by steel spacing indirectly under a service load. On the other hand, in the KSCDC appendix, cracks are controlled by a crack width directly under a sustained load. In particular, the loading state considered is different. On the other hand, cracks are controlled under a combination of service load and an effective elastic modulus is used in KHBDC. Therefore, in this study, an effective elastic modulus that can reflect the ratio of the sustained load and live load was applied, and a maximum steel spacing was calculated through a design crack width. A variable interpretation was carried out, and a rational crack control method was assessed. As a result, a steel spacing through the design crack width in the KSCDC was smaller than that from the design crack width in the KHBDC, which leads to a conservative design. In addition, the maximum steel spacing suggested in this study has a consistency eliminating the difference between direct crack control and indirect crack control.
