Soils around a pile are highly constrained when the vertical load is applied to the pile. However, the conventional direct shear test cannot evaluate the shear strength of the soils under the normal confinement condition. The goal of this study is to evaluate the shear behaviors according to the normal displacement confinement condition including free normal displacement (FND) and constrained normal displacement (CND) during direct shearing. Jumunjin sands were prepared at the different relative densities and loaded at the different normal stresses. The specimens were sheared according to the normal confinement conditions. Experimental results show that shear strengths obtained by the CND tests are higher than those obtained by the FND tests. In addition, for the constrained normal displacement condition, the increment of shear strength increases with the increase of relative density, while the increment of shear strength decreases with the initial normal stress. This study suggests that the effect of confinement condition on the shear strength should be considered when the stability of constrained soils is analyzed.

본 논문에서는 상사진동에서의 응답을 통해 구성된 모드유연도 행렬에 의해 추정되는 변위/변형을 이용해 전당빌딩의 손상을 정량적으로 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법은 전단빌딩의 손살발생 후의 층간변위와 손상발생 전 후의 층간변위 차이인 Damage-induced inter-story deflection(DI-ID)의 관계를 이용해 손상을 정량적으로 평가하는 방법이다. 구조물이 양전단력만을 발생시킴으로써 층간변위를 분명히 파악할 수 있도록 하는 양전단력 탐색하중(Positive Shear Inspection Load)을 통해 DI-ID를 산정한다. 제안된 방법의 검증을 위해 5층의 전단빌딩 축소모형을 대상구조물로 선정했으며, 단일손상과 다중손상의 모사를 위해 1층과 3층의 휨강성을 각각 10% 씩 저감시켰다. Static test와 modal test를 통해 각각의 결과를 비교하는 방법으로 제안된 방법의 성능검증을 수행했으며, 축소모형실험 결과, 두 실험간 평균오차 1% 이내로 정확도를 검증했다.

The Honam Shear Zone, an important feature in the Phanerozoic geologic history of Korea, has attracted much attention due to its potential tectonic significance. However, little has been known about the displacement amount of the shear zone. Here, we propose a possible displacement marker for the shear zone. The geographic position and peculiar lithology of the Sancheong and Gaya anorthosite bodies in the south-central part of Korea suggest a NE-trending dextral strike slip shear zone that has a displacement of ca. 50 km. This hypothetical shear zone is considered as a part of the Honam Shear Zone since the former has the same trend and shear sense as the latter.

In order to attain enhanced seismic performance of RC bridges, premature shear failure prior to the achievement of target ductilities of the piers should be prevented. For this purpose, a reliable shear strength evaluation is required. The shear strength of an RC column subjected to a lateral force decreases with an increase in ductility. Many empirical equations for the shear strength have been proposed by many researchers. However, there are many discrepancies in the initial shear strength in the low ductility range, and in the decrease rate according to the ductility. In this study, a new empirical equation of shear strength considering the displacement ductility effect has been proposed, in which the initial shear strength equation proposed by the authors was revised on the basis of the investigation of many other researchers' test results. The resulting improvement in accuracy is confirmed by comparison with other empirical equations.

Recently, new experimental criteria for reinforced concrete frame structures in high seismic regions have been reported in United States. The objective of the criteria is to get more reliable test data which are valid to compare with other test data done by different researchers. The criteria precribe test method of specimens, analysis method of test data, and limiting values needed to specimens like drift angle, energey dissipation ratio, stiffness, and strength. These criteria might be usefel to get objective conclusion. Shear wall structures, which belong to one of earthquake resisting systems, also need this kind of criteria. But, the general response of shear wall structures is a little bit different from that of frame structures since shear wall restrains the horizontal displacement caused by horizontal force and increases the stiffness and strength. The objective of this paper is to propose a criterion for limiting drift and energy dissipation ratio of shear walls based on structural testing. These are the most important values for presenting the capacity of shear walls. Limiting drift and energy dissipation ratios were examined for tests on shear walls having ductile type failures. Test data were analyzed and compared to the results for a suggested acceptance criteria that involve a limiting drift that is a function of aspect ratio and a limiting energy dissipation ratio that is a function of displacement ductility and damping.

Reinforced concrete bridge columns with relatively small aspect ratio show flexure-shear behavior, which is flexural behavior at initial and medium displacement stages and shear failure at final stage. Since the columns with flexure-shear failure have lower ductility than those with flexural failure, shear capacity curve models shall be applied as well as flexural capacity curve in order to determine ultimate displacement for seismic design or performance evaluation. In this paper, a modified shear capacity curve model is proposed and compared with the other models such as the CALTRANS model, Aschheim et al.'s model, and Priestley et al.'s model. Four shear capacity curve models are applied to the 4 full scale circular bridge column test results and the accuracy of each model is discussed. It may not be fully adequate to drive a final decision from the application to the limited number of test results, however the proposed model provides the better prediction of failure mode and ultimate displacement than the other models for the selected column test results.

현재까지의 철근콘크리트(R/C)부재의 이력거동을 예측하기 위한 이론적 연구는 대부분이 휨 변위량이 전체 변위량을 지배한다는 가정하에 휨 해석을 행하고 있다. 그러나 지진과 같은 탄성한계를 벗어난 강한 동적반복하중을 받는 경우 철근 콘크리트 부재의 변위량은 휨 변위량 뿐만 아니라 전단 변위량 및 부재연결부에서의 회전 변위량에 의해 지배됨이 많은 연구를 통해 밝혀졌다. 전단이력거동은 강성과 강도저하가 심하게 나타나고 낮은 에너지 발산능력을 갖는 특징에 의해 휨 이력거동과는 구별되며 반복하중이 계속되면 강성이 저하되는 경향때문에 전단변형이 R/C부재의 거동을 지배하게 된다. 이러한 부재거동의 특징에 견주어 볼 때 현재 사용되고 있는 해석모델을 이용하여 동적응답을 예측하고, 해석하여 설계된 기존의 R/C부재는 강한 동적하중을 받을 경우 해석적으로는 전혀 예측치 못하게 되는 결과를 초래하게 된다.

본 논문에서는 상사진동에서의 응답을 통해 구성된 모드유연도에 의해 추정되는 손상유발 변위를 이용하여 전당빌딩의 손상을 탐지하는 진동기반의 손상탐지 방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은 전단빌딩의 층간변위를 활용하여 오직 손상이 존재할 때에만 발생하는 Damage-induced inter-story deflection (DI-ID)을 통해 손상탐지를 수행하는 방법이다. 구조물의 전체 자유도에 양의 전단력을 발생시킴으로써 층간변위를 분명히 파악할 수 있도록 하는 양전단력 탐색하중(Positive Shear Inspection Load)을 통해 DI-ID를 산정한다. 제안된 방법의 검증을 위해 5층의 전단빌딩 축소모형을 대상구조물로 선정하여 수치모의실험을 수행했다. 단일손상과 다중손상의 모사를 위해 1층과 3층의 휨강성을 각각 10% 씩 저감시켰고, 수치모의실험 결과, 단일손상과 다중손상 모두 정확히 손상발생 구역을 확인했다.

In this paper, an systematic approach is presented, in which the mixed variational theorem is employed to incorporate independent transverse shear stresses into a classical higher-order shear deformation theory(HSDT). The HSDT displacement field is taken to amplify the benefits of using a classical shear deformation theory such as simple and straightforward calculation and numerical efficiency. Those independent transverse shear stresses are taken from the fifth-order polynomial-based zig-zag theory where the fourth-order transverse shear strains can be obtained. The classical displacement field and independent transverse shear stresses are systematically blended via the mixed variational theorem. Resulting strain energy expressions are named as an enhanced higher-order shear deformation theory via mixed variational theorem(EHSDTM). The EHSDTM possess the same computational advantage as the classical HSDT while allowing for improved through-the-thickness stress and displacement variations via the post-processing procedure. Displacement and stress distributions obtained herein are compared to those of the classical HSDT, three-dimensional elasticity, and available data in literature.
