This study investigated the effect of relative density on the thickness of shear zone. Digital image processing was used to measure the thickness of shear zone under plane strain conditions. A suitable epoxy resin was injected into the sample and the thickness of the shear zone was investigated. Four independent condition samples were prepared and the thickness of the shear zone was measured. The results indicated that the thickness of shear zone increases as the initial density of sample increases, and during the shear, the void ratios of the shear zone were changed, but the thickness of shear zone was not changed. In addition, the result of measurement of the thickness showed that the thickness of shear zone was almost fixed before critical state, but beyond critical state, the thickness of shear zone sharply increases as relative density increases.

The characteristics of shear zone in granular soils largely affect the stability of geo-structures. The goal of this study is to evaluate shear zone in a direct shear test using shear wave, electrical resistivity, and cone tip resistance. Bender elements and electrical resistivity probe are embedded into the wall of a direct shear box made of transparent acrylic material to estimate the shear wave velocities and the electrical resistivity at shear and non-shear zones. At the point of peak and residual strength, micro cone penetration test which can be available to measure tip resistance has been performed. Experimental results show that the shear wave velocities at upper shear zone increase during shearing while the values remain constant at bottom and lower shear zone. Also, resistivities at lower shear zone depend on relative density while resistivities at bottom remain constant. The results of cone penetration test demonstrate the correlation of the cone tip resistance and small strain shear modulus at shear zone. This study suggests that the application of the modified direct shear box including shear wave, electrical resistivity and the micro cone tip resistance may become effective tools for analyzing the characteristics of a shear zone.

A series of calibration chamber tests are performed to investigate the spatial distribution of the excess porewater pressure due to piezocone penetration into overconsolidated clays. It was observed that the excess porewater pressure increases monotonically from the piezocone surface to the outer boundary of the shear zone and then decreases logarithmically, approaching zero at the outer boundary of the plastic zone. It was also found that the size of the shear zone decreases from approximately 2.2 to 1.5 times the cone radius with increasing OCR, while the plastic radius is about 11 times the piezocone radius, regardless of the OCR. Based on the modified Cam clay model and the cylindrical cavity expansion theory, the expressions to predict the Initial porewater pressure at the piezocone were developed, considering the effects of the strain rate and stress anisotropy. The method of predicting the spatial distribution of excess porewater pressure proposed in this study was verified by comparing it with the porewater pressure measured in overconsolidated specimens in the calibration chamber.

본 연구에서는 사다리꼴 용기의 성형성을 여러종류의 블랭크를 사용하여 실험하였으며, 소재의 두께 및 유동현상을 성형성의 평가와 블랭크의 크기결정을 위해서 측정하였다. 이러한 결과 성형품의 파단위치는 단변부의 코너임을 확인하였고, 전단영역에 인접한 직변부 부근의 플랜지 가장자리가 두꺼워지는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 코너컷은 코너에 인접한 2개의 전단영역의 가장자리를 연결하는 선과 평행하게 하는 것이 좋다는 결과를 얻었다.

This study examined the one-way shear in concrete beam region and shear friction in joint region of a hybrid H-steel-reinforced concrete (HSRC) beam system with a simple ductile connection. One-way shear tests were conducted under overhanging beam system with a shear span-to-depth ratio of 1.6. Simple beams for shear friction were tested under two-point symmetrical top loads producing a clear shear span-to-depth ratio of 0.1. Test results showed that the dowel bars arranged in joint region insignificantly influence the propagation of shear cracks but enhances the shear strength of the HSRC beams by approximately 25%. The one-way shear strength and shear friction strength of HSRC beams can be conservatively evaluated using the design equations specified in ACI 318-14 and EC2 shear provisions.

본 논문은 EDISON_CFD를 이용하여 관상동맥 분지관에서 점도에 따른 유체의 유동현상에 관하여 연구를 하였다. 뉴턴유체인 물의 점성계수 일때와 비뉴턴유체인 혈액의 Carreau model에서의 영전단율 점성계수(${\eta}_0$)와 무한전단율 점성계수(${\eta}_{\infty}$)일 때의 유동현상을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 점도가 증가할수록 재순환 영역에서 유체의 속도가 감소하였고 CF 및 CP값이 감소하는 구간의 수가 증가하여 벽면의 저전단응력으로 인해 생기는 재순환영역의 수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is aimed to investigate on the structural properties (like as strength, failure mode, ductility) of beams with web openings reinforced with steel tube of square. The main parameters are follows; 1) with and without web opening 2) the number of opening, 3) location of openings. In the quasi-static tests, structural properties of PFBS1A and PFBS2A were most superior. When the locations of opening are respectively maximal moment zone (M), shear (S), co-existence area of moment and shear (M+S), the specimen with web opening at maximal moment zone is not less than that without web opening in terms of strength and ductility.

In designing the boundary confinement of shear walls, the current design provisions and recommendations are empirical and prescriptive; they specify a certain confinement length and details, regardless of the actual requirement of ductility Therefore, they are inappropriate to the performance based-design. The purpose of the present study is to develop a ductility design method that Is applicable to the performance based-design of shear wall. For the purpose, experimental studies were performed to investigate variations in the ductility of shear walls with the length of the boundary confinement. Five specimens modeling the compressive zone of cross sections with different confinement area were tested against eccentric vertical load. Through the experimental studies, strength, ductility, and failure mode of the compression zone were investigated. In addition, nonlinear numerical analyses for the overall cross-sections of shear wall were performed to investigate variations of the stress and strain profiles with the length of compression zone. On the basis of the experimental and numerical studies, a ductility design method for shear wall was developed. By using the proposed design method, for a given ductility demand, the area of lateral confinement and corresponding reinforcement ratio can be precisely determined so that the ductile behavior and economical design are assured.

합류부는 인공수로 또는 자연하천에서 흔히 존재하며 매우 복잡한 흐름 구조가 발생하는 곳이다. 특히 본류와 지류의 유속장의 차이에 따라 발생하는 전단층은 흐름과 물질이 혼합되는 경계면이 되며, 흐름 구조가 전단층을 따라 발달한다는 특징으로 인해 수리학적으로 매우 중요하다. 최근 원격탐사 기법의 발전에 따라 위성이나 드론과 같은 무인 이동체를 이용한 하천 계측법이 수질 및 지형변화 연구들에 광범위하게 적용되고 있다. 그 중 RGB 항공영상은 해상도가 높고 취득 비용이 저렴하여 확장성 및 활용도가 높다. 본 연구에서는 합류부 전단층이 촬영된 RGB 항공 영상을 이용해 합류부 전단층 분석에 활용하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안되는 방법은 RGB 항공 영상에서 본류와 지류의 수체 영역을 각각 추출하기 위해 가우시안 혼합 모형(Gaussian mixture model)을 이용한다. 추출된 수체 영역에는 자기조직화지도(self-organizing map)을 적용하고 좌표 변환을 하여 정량적인 특징을 추출한다. 본 연구에서는 알고리듬의 적용 예로서 구글어스를 통해 확보된 낙동강-남강 합류부의 항공 영상을 분석한다. 본 추출법을 이용하면 접촉식 센서를 이용하는 기존의 전단층 계측 방법들에 비해 경제적이고 안전하며 합류부 흐름의 평면적 분석을 가능하게 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) beams has greater shear strength than typical reinforced concrete beams due to the high tensile strength of steel fibers. In this research, an experiment has been conducted to investigate the shear behavior of SFRC beams, and especially, the portion of shear resistance by uncracked compressive concrete section has been measured. Based on the test results in this study and 87 test data collected from literature, the accuracy of the existing equations for the estimation of shear strength has been evaluated. The shear strength of SFRC beams increased as more steel fibers were mixed. However, it is considered that the most efficient amount of steel fiber for enhancement of shear strength would be between 1% and 2% in that the specimen with 0.5% of steel fibers were abruptly failed after inclined cracking, and that the specimen with 2.0% of steel fibers showed a relatively low efficiency in increasing shear strength. The portion of shear resistance by the uncracked compressive concrete section was measured to be greater than 21%, and the equation proposed by Oh et al. provided the best accuracy on the estimation of shear strength of SFRC beams among the approaches evaluated in this study.
