In this study, the buckling behaviors during the installation of a bucket foundation for an offshore wind turbine tower were investigated. The objective structure was modeled by using a commercial structural analysis program, and the buckling behavior of the model was estimated as Batdorf's parameter Z in the design code. The surrounding soil conditions and loading condition were applied to the verified analysis model. The effects of parameters such as the longitudinal stiffeners and driven depth were estimated for the buckling capacity. As a result, it was found that the longitudinal stiffeners could drastically increase the buckling capacity in a specific region. In addition, the buckling capacities increased linearly when considering the effect of the surrounding soil.

In this study, inelastic buckling strength of HSA800 steel columns were tested to investigate the applicability of current column curve (KBC2009, 2010 AISC-LRFD) to HSA800 steel. Key test variables included width-thickness ratio, plate-edge restraints, and column slenderness ratio. Specimens made of ordinary steel (SM490) were also tested for comparison purposes. All the concentrically loaded HSA800 specimens exhibited sufficient buckling strength compared to the current column curve, but some of SM490 specimens showed understrength. This difference can be explained by the lower residual stress present in HSA800 specimens.

Buckling of surface plates is an important limit state in Steel-Plate Concrete (SC) walls under axial compression. The surface plates may be anchored to concrete using connectors of studs or tie-bars. In this paper, the effects of studs and tie-bars on buckling of surface plates were evaluated by conducting tests. Experiments have three types of connectors; all studs, all tie-bars, and the combination of studs and tie-bars. Also, experiments have the various ratios of stud or tie-bar spacing to surface plate thickness. The experimental investigation shows that the buckling shape and strength of the surface plate of SC wall with the combination of studs and tie-bars have good agreements with that of the surface plate of SC walls with all studs or all tie-bars.

In the design of horizontally curved plate girder web panels, it is required to evaluate accurately the elastic buckling strength under pure shear. Currently, elastic shear buckling coefficients of curved web panels stiffened by transverse intermediate stiffeners are determined by assuming conservatively that straight web panels without curvature are simply supported at the juncture between the flange and web. However, depending upon the geometry and the properties of the curved plate girder, the elastically restrained support may behave rather closer to a fixed support. The buckling strength of curved girder web is much greater (maximum 38%) than that of a straight girder calculated under the assumption that all four edges are simply supported in Lee and Yoo (1999). In the present study, a series of numerical analyses based on a 3D finite element modeling is carried out to investigate the effects of geometric parameters on both the boundary condition at the juncture and the horizontal curvature of web panel, and the resulting data are quantified in a simple design equation.

Column tests subjected to compressive loading were carried out for the estimation of compression buckling strength of steel plate SM570 in beam-column member under high axial load. It was found that the maximum strength of column member was determined by local buckling when satisfied with a limit of width-to-thickness ratio in current steel structure design specifications, but decreased suddenly by local buckling before the maximum strength in case of not satisfying with that ratio. Also, the compression buckling strength of SM570 plate was higher than the design specification value of 4$4.1tonf/cm^2$.

An explicit direct time integration method based solution algorithm is proposed to predict dynamic postbuckling response of thin plates. Based on the von Karman's plate equations and Marquerre's shallow shell theory, a rectangular plate finite element is formulated and utilized in this study. The element formulation takes into account geometrical nonlinearity and initial deflection of plates. The solution algorithm employs the central difference method. Using the computer program developed by the authors, dynamic postbuckling behavior of elastic thin plates under impact loading is investigated by considering the time variation of load and load duration. The efficiency of the proposed solution algorithm is examined through illustrative numerical examples.

육상에서 가까운 연안에서 어부들이 작업하는 작업장은 주로 스치로폼 부표를 사용하고 있으나 환경 및 생태계 문제로 알루미늄 부표로 대체하는 경향이다. 원통형의 알루미늄 부표는 경제성이 문제이기 때문에 작업장 구조물을 하중을 지지하고 외압의 좌굴(buckling)에 견디는 최소두께의 선정이 중요하다. 또한 부표가 지지하는 해상작업장의 강(steel) 구조물도 풍압과 해상하중에 견딜 수 있는 설계가 요구된다. 이 연구에서는 해상작업장 구조물과 부표를 설계하는 절차와 건전성을 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the mechanical characteristics of the laminated rubber bearings (LRBs) for the seismic isolation. The evaluations of the proposed equations of the LRB horizontal stiffness are carried out and these equations are extended to the visco-elastic problems to investigate the damping amplifications of LRBs. The stability evaluation of LRBs is also performed. For investigation of the dynamic characteristics of LRBs, the horizontal stiffness equations of the LRBs considering the P-delta effects are applied to the modeling of a seismically isolated structure and the earthquake response time history analyses are carried out. From this research, the proposed simple equation of the horizontal stiffness of LRB is so useful for the design loads and easily extended to the visco-elastic problems. Through the stability evaluation of LRB, the increasing ratio of the total rubber thickness of the LRB severely decrecises the bucking load than the increasing ratio of unit rubber thickness. From the comparison of the dynamic shear deflection of LRB, the analysis results are in good agreement with those of the experiments.

Due to the deficit of section of web, the buckling strength of cellular beam become smaller than that of H-beam. In this thesis, we evaluate the buckling strength of web-post through non-linear F.E.M with opening distance-diameter ratio and opening diameter - web thickness ratio as essential variables. And also analyzes this comparing with the standard indicated in BS5950 Part 1.
