The main goal of this study was to examine the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with CFRP strups. Seven rectangular beams were tested. The test variables were the configuration types, spacing length of CFRP strips and the amount of reinforced stirrups bars. From this experimental study, the shear capacity of beams strengthened with CFRP increased significantly compared to the beam without CFRP strip. Maximum increase of ultimate shear strength was found about 100% more than that of the beam without a CFRP strip and the CFRP strips attached in the shear region can resist the occurrence of the initial shear cracks and the propagation of major shear cracks. In this test, most of the shear strengthened beams failed suddenly due to the debonding of CFRP strips. A calculation of the shear strength of reinforced beams strengthened with CFRP strips based on the effective stresses was conducted and the comparisons were made with the test results.

In this paper, we investigate the vibration analysis of plates, using an 8-node shell element that accounts for the transverse shear strains and rotary inertia. The forced vibration analysis of plates subjected to arbitrary loading is investigated. In order to overcome membrane and shear locking phenomena, the assumed natural strain method is used. To improve an 8-node shell element for forced vibration analysis, the new combination of sampling points for assumed natural strain method was applied. The refined first-order shear deformation theory based on Reissner-Mindlin theory which allows the shear deformation without shear correction factor and rotary inertia effect to be considered is adopted for development of 8-node assumed strain shell element. In order to validate the finite element numerical solutions, the reference solutions of plates are presented. Results of the present theory show good agreement with the reference solution. In addition the effect of damping is investigated on the forced vibration analysis of plates.

Dynamic Shear modulus (G) is one of the imfortant dynamic soil properties to estimate the response of soil to dynamic loading. Problems in engineering geo1ogy practice the require the knowledge of soil properties subjected to dynamic loadings include soil-structure interaction during earthquakes, bomb blasts, construction operations, and mining. Although the dynamic shear modulus (G) is a time-dependent property, G change with time is often neglected. In this study, the effect of duration of confinement and its affecting factors (previous stress and strain, particle size and sustained pressure, and plasticity index) on the low-amplitude shear modulus ($G_{max}$) of soils are reviewed, and some empirical correlations based on mean particle diameter and plasticity index are proposed.

최근의 자동차엔진에서 사용되는 윤활유에는 여러 가지 첨가물이 사용된다. 특히 고분자량 폴리머계의 점도 지수 향상제를 윤활유의 원유에 첨가함으로써 온도 증가에 따른 점도 불안정성을 방지하는 다등급 윤활유 성격을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 고분자량 폴리머계의 첨가물은 고온의 엔진 운전 조건에서 윤활유의 점도 안정성을 보장해줌에도 불구하고 엔진 부품들의 정상적인 운동 속도에서도($1-^6 S^{-1}$) 고 전단 변형율 속도로 인하여 유막 감소 효과를 발생 시킨다. 또한 이 첨가제들은 엔진 부품의 마찰 표면에 큰 전단 응력을 지닌 끈끈한 형태의 경계막을 형성한다. 고분자량 폴리머계의 점도 지수 향상제에 대한 예기치 못한 영향은 유막 감소 효과로 인하여 엔진 부품간의 마모를 증가 시키고 점도의 감소로 마찰을 감소 시키는 반면 경계막으로 인하여 고체면이 보호를 받는데 있다. 이러한 유막 형성의 물리적인 개념에 대하여 고체면의 끈끈한 경계막의 존재 효과와 두 경계막 사이에서 일어나는 유막 감소 효과를 표현할 수 있는 현실적인 해석의 필요성이 제기된다. 본 연구는 최근에 많이 쓰이고 있는 점도 향상제가 첨가된 윤활유가 자동차 밸브 트레인 시스템에서 유막 형성에 미치는 영향을 마찰 효율과 마모 방지의 입장에서 고찰하였다.

섬유보강재를 이용한 성토제체의 설계에서 기존의 방법은 보강재의 변형을 무시하고 흙의 변형만을 중요시하고 있다. 보강재에 의해 보강된 성토제체의 파괴면에서 보강재와 흙의 거동은 초기응력단계에서는 일체거동현상을 나타내지만 응력의 증가에 따라 변형량에서 차이를 보인다. 이러한 문제는 토공구조물의 보강재를 설계하는데 있어서 중요한 요소로서 보강효과에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 연약지반 위에 PET Mat로 보강하여 축조한 성토제체에서 보강재와 흙의 응력 - 변형거동을 수치해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 파괴면에서 보강재의 변형은 보강재의 인장강도 크기에 따라 큰 차이를 보이고 있다. 외부하중에 의해 보강재에 발생하는 최대응력은 보강재의 항복인장강도를 초과하지 않으며, 보강재에 발생하는 응력이 성토체에서 발생하는 응력이상일 때 이상적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제체의 전단파괴에 대한 안전율은 보강재의 항복인장강도가 증가할수록 증가하는데 보강재와 흙의 변형이 일치되는 이후부터는 안전율의 증가율은 거의 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

Three-dimensional finite element model for analysis of reinforced concrete members was developed in order to investigate the prediction of bending and shear failure of reinforced concrete beams. A failure surface of concrete in strain space was newly proposed in order to predict accurately the ductile response of concrete under multi-axial confining stresses. Cracking of concrete in triaxial state was incorporated with considering the tensile strain-softening behavior of cracked concrete as well as the cracked shear behavior on cracked surface of concrete caused by aggregate interlocking and, dowel action. By correlation study on failure types of bending and shear of beams, current finite element model was well simulated not only the type of ductile bending failure of under-reinforced beams but also the type of brittle shear failure of no-stirruped reinforced concrete beam.

This paper proposes a new finite element formulation based on enhanced first-order shear deformation theory including the transverse normal strain effect via the mixed formulation (EFSDTM-TN) for the effective thermo-mechanical analysis of laminated composite structures. The main objective of the EFSDTM-TN is to provide an accurate and efficient solution in describing the thermo-mechanical behavior of laminated composite structures by systematically establishing the relationship between two independent fields (displacement and transverse stress fields) via the mixed formulation. Another key feature is to consider the thermal strain effect without additional unknown variables by introducing a refined transverse displacement field. In the finite element formulation, an eight-node isoparametric plate element is newly developed to implement the advantage of the EFSDTM-TN. Numerical solutions for the thermo-mechanical behavior of laminated composite structures are compared with those available in the open literature to demonstrate the numerical performance of the proposed finite element model.

Researches on strengthening and rehabilitation methods are being widely conducted due to the deterioration of existing concrete structures. Use of externally bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) strips for the rehabilitation is a cost-effective and time-saving method. Generally, the CFRP layout for the shear strengthening was a uni-directional layout. Many researches have focused on the variables of the uni-directional CFRP layout such as the amount of material, angle, and spacing. Pilot tests indicated that the effective confinement of the concrete member can be provided with the bi-directional CFRP layout than the uni-directional layout. Therefore, the test was carried out after the uni- and bi-directional strengthening work using the same amount of CFRP material. CFRP anchors were installed to prevent unexpected premature CFRP delamination failure before reaching CFRP fracture strain. The effectiveness of the CFRP anchor and bi-directional CFRP layout for shear strengthening was verified based on the principal tensile strain contours.

철골 모멘트 접합부를 헌치로서 보강할 경우 내진거동이 크게 증진됨이 최근의 실물대 시험에서 입증되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 헌치로서 보강된 철골 모멘트 접합부가 골조의 탄성 횡변위 거동에 미치는 영향을 해석적으로 평가하는 방안을 제시하였다. 즉 내부의 보-기둥 부분골조를 대상으로 기둥, 보 및 이중패널존에서 기인하는 탄성 횡변위 성분을 해석적으로 유도하였다. 핵심이 되는 내용은 헌치 보강시 생성되는 이중패널존의 전단변형을 고려하는 것이었다. 제시된 방안에 의한 예측치는 3차원 유한요소해석에 의한 결과와 잘 부합하였다. 본 연구에서 수행한 사례연구에 의할 때 헌치의 도입으로 패널존의 강성증대가 가장 현저하여서 패널존의 전단변형에서 기인하는 탄성 횡변위가 50%정도 감소되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 아직 잘 알려지지 않은 헌치 보강에 따른 부차효과(side effects)의 이해에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Chemical grouting is one of the ground.improvement methods for the purpose of cutting o($\boxUl$ water and increasing the strength of soil. It has ben reported that the effect of strength increasement of groued roils is due to increase of cohesion. In this study, the effect of cohesion on the shearing resistance of grouted soil 9.as intr.estigated tall.ouch triaxial compression test. According to the result of this research, It is found that the improved cohesion increases rapidly up to the maximum value at a small strain and subsequent decrease of cohericn is due to the breaking of grout chemical at a larger strain.
