A sprayable waterproofing membrane which has relatively high adhesive property onto concrete enables faster construction with better waterproof performance compared with a conventional sheet membrane. However, the sprayable waterproofing membrane is a recently developed material and its performance and behavior with structures are not sufficiently reported. Therefore, in this study, the shear behavior of sprayable waterproofing membrane was numerically analyzed using the results of previous studies of composite shotcrete with sprayable waterproofing membrane. From the previous study, shear behavior of shotcrete with sprayable waterproofing membrane was different from shotcrete case and there was a limitation to express the behavior of the interface in general shear strength method. Therefore, in this study, the direct shear test was numerically simulated using two contact models, and then the best suitable method to express the shear behavior of the sprayable waterproofing membrane was suggested.

In this study, laboratory direct shear tests on 37 core specimens of gneiss were performed to examine the characteristics of shear behavior on fractures by using a portable direct shear box. The multi-stage shear testing method was used and normal stress applied to specimens ranges from 5.60 to $25.67kg/\textrm{cm}^2$. On the basis of test results, the empirical equations for the shear strength on fractures were suggested. The methanical parameters that can influence the shear behavior were derived and compared between each parameter. The values of shear stiffness have a trend showing rapid increase with the increase of normal stress and joint roughness coeffident, and the average value of secant shear stiffness for all specimens is about $110.68kg/\textrm{cm}^3$ under the range of normal stress applied in this test In addition, the relationship between the length of specimen and shear stiffness is inversely correlated due to the size effect. Therefore, even the specimens with the same joint roughness coeffident show the trend of decreasing shear stiffness in case of the specimens being the longer length.

This study evaluated the shear behavior of geogrid reinforced ballast material using a large scale direct shear test and discrete element method (DEM) based on PFC 3D program. The direct shear test was conducted on ballast materials that have different particle size distributions. Whereas the test results revealed that the shear strength generally increased with the larger particle size of ballast material without geogrid reinforcement, the shear behavior of ballast material was found to change pertaining to the relationship between particle size distribution and geogrid rib size. Generally, it is deemed the effectiveness of reinforcement can be achieved when the rib size is two times greater than average particle size. A numerical analysis based on DEM was conducted to verify the test results. The geogrid modeling was successfully completed by calibration process along with sensitivity analysis to have actual tensile strength provided by manufacturer. With a given geogrid model, the parametric evaluation was further carried out to examine the interactive behavior between geogrid and ballast material. Consequently, it was found that the effectiveness zone of geogrid reinforcement generated within a specific depth.

Prestressed hollow-core (PHC) slabs are structurally-optimized lightweight precast floor members for long-span concrete structures, which are widely used in construction markets. In Korea, the PHC slabs have been often used with cast-in-place (CIP) topping concrete as a composite slab system. However, the PHC slab members produced by extrusion method use concrete having very low slump, and it is very difficult to make sufficient roughness on the surface as well as to provide shear connectors. In this study, a large number of push-off tests was conducted to evaluate interfacial shear strengths between PHC slabs and CIP topping concrete with the key variable of surface roughness. In addition, the horizontal shear strengths specified in the various design codes were evaluated by comparing to the test results that were collected from literature.

The corroded pier that has corrosion of the tranverse steel, main steel and lapsplice directly affects the seismic performance. The corrosion of the tranvese and main steel directly reduce the shear strength and bendig strength. If steel corrosion occurs in lap splice, the flexural strength and flexibility of existing corroded pier that are not seismic design are significantly reduced. In addition, as the axial force acting on the pier increase the shear strength. Considering these effects. In this stuydy, we cosidered steel corrosion, lap splice and axial force, for a reasonable evaluation of seismic-performance. It is confirmed that flexular failure occurs at pies where shear failure is expected to occur due to corrosion of reinforcement. These failure modes and their reason are analyzed, and necessary considerations are presented for seismic reinforcement.

Experimental were performed to investigate the turbulent boundary layer over the flat plate when the surface roughness undergoes a step change from rough to smooth under zeoro pressure gradient. well sthear stress was measured by the Computational Preston Tube Method(CPM). The inner layer near the wall adapts rapidly to a new surface condition but the outer flow far from the wall rather slowly. After a sudden change of roughness, the values of wall shear stress discontinuously reduces and then slowly approaches to the value in the equilibrium boundary layer at the down stream. The variation of the von Karman constant indirectly measured by CPM method shows that the flow near the wall at the downstream is highly non-equilibrium state.

This paper describes an experimental program to investigate the shear behavior of insulated concrete sandwich panels (CSPs) with different types of GFRP shear connector. The study included testing of 13 insulated CSP specimens with two types of surface conditions for extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation and various shapes of shear connectors. All specimens were loaded in direct shear by means of push-out and were consist of three concrete panels, two insulation layer and four rows of GFRP shear connectors. Load-relative slip between concrete panel and insulation response of CSP specimens has been established through push-out shear test. Test results indicate that the surface condition of insulation has a significant effect on the bond strength between concrete panel and insulation. The specimen used XPS foam with 10mm deep slot shows higher bond strength than those used XPS foam with meshed surface. Corrugated GFRP shear connectors show equivalent strength to grid GFRP shear connectors. Cross-sectional area and embedded length of shear connector have a notable effect on overall response and inplane shear strength of the CSP specimens.

복단면 하도는 홍수소통을 위한 상부 하도와 생태계 서식처 강화와 유사이송능력 개선, 경제적인 유지유량의 확보 등을 도모하는 자연적인 저수로 하도로 구성된다. 그러므로 갈수기와 홍수기의 유량차가 큰 하천에서, 복단면 하도는 하천 공학, 환경 생태 관점에서 다양한 이점을 제공한다. 그러나 복단면 하도에서의 흐름저항, 조도계수, 통수능, 수위-유량관계, 횡방향 유속분포, 그리고 하상전단응력 분포는 단단면 하도와 상이하며, 중요한 차이점은 주수로부와 홍수터부 사이의 유속차로 인하여 발생하는 활발한 운동량 교환에 의해 추가적인 전단층이 생성되는 점이다. 주수로와 홍수터 사이에서 발생된 경계전단력(Apparent Shear Force, ASF)은 하천의 전반적인 통수능을 감소시켜 홍수의 하도내 저류효과를 증가시킬 수도 있다. 또한 주수로 및 홍수터가 분담할 수 있는 유량은 경계전단력에 민감하기 때문에, 홍수터에 수목 식재, 구조물 설치 등을 계획할 경우 정량적인 항력저항의 산정을 위하여 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 복단면에서 발생하는 경계전단응력을 추정하는 다양한 방법들이 개발되었으며, 각각의 방법으로 부터 경계전단력을 정량적으로 예측할 수 있다. 그러나 대부분의 방법이 실험에 근거한 경험적 방법이므로 각 식의 개발에 사용된 자료에만 적합할 수 있는 한계가 있으며, 균일한 수로의 기하학적 변수(전단면과 주수로의 하폭비, 홍수터와 주수로의 수심비, 홍수터와 주수로의 조도비, 주수로의 하폭대 수심비 등)에 의한 식으로 구성되어 수치모형에서 직접 활용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 복단면 경계전단력 산정을 위하여 개발된 다양한 연구결과들을 비교 검토하고, 기존문헌 또는 웹상에서 가용한 수리실험 자료들을 이용하여 각 방법에서 계산된 유량과 실측 유량을 비교함으로써 각 방법이 지닌 한계를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 검토된 5가지 방법은 Knight and Demetriou (1983)(이하 KD), Wormleaton and Merret (1990)(이하 WM), Cristodoulou (1992), Bousmar and Zech(1999) (이하 BZ) 그리고 Moreta and Martin-Vide (2010)(이하 MM)이다. BZ 방법을 제외하고 나머지 방법들은 전체 유량의 비교에서 5% 이내의 오차를 나타내었다. 그러나 나머지 4가지 방법 중 주수로부 유속의 비교에 있어서는 소규모 수로 실험자료만 이용한 KD 방법이 5% 이상의 오차를 나타내어 정확도가 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 비교적 단순한 형태의 Cristodoulou (1992) 방법이 적용하고자 하는 수로의 규모와 무관하게 복단면 유량예측에 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

A Two Mobilized-Plane Model is proposed for monotonic and cyclic soil response including liquefaction. This model is based on two mobilized planes: a plane of maximum shear stress, which rotates, and a horizontal plane which is spatially fixed. By controlling two mobilized planes, the model can simulate the principal stress rotation effect associated with simple shear from different $K_0$ states. The proposed model gives a similar skeleton behaviour for soils having the same mean stress, regardless of $K_0$ conditions as observed in laboratory tests. The soil skeleton behaviour observed in cyclic drained simple shear tests, including compaction during unloading and dilation at large strain is captured in the model. Undrained monotonic and cyclic response is predicted by imposing the volumetric constraint of the water on the drained or skeleton behaviour. This constitutive model is incorporated into the dynamic coupled stress-flow finite difference program of FLAC (Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua). The model was first calibrated with drained simple shear tests on Fraser River sand, and verified by comparing predicted and measured undrained behaviour of Fraser River sand using the same input parameters.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new seismic resistant method by using precast concrete wall panels for existing low-rise, reinforced concrete beam-column buildings such as school buildings. Three quasi-static hysteresis loading tests were performed on one unreinforced beam-column specimen and two reinforced specimens with U-type precast wall panels. The results were analyzed to find that the specimen with anchored connection experienced shear failure, while the other specimen with steel plate connection principally manifested flexural failure. The ultimate strength of the specimens was determined to be the weaker of the shear strength of top connection and flexural strength at the critical section of precast panel. In this setup of U-type panel specimens, if a push loading is applied to the reinforced concrete column on one side and push the precast concrete panel, a pull loading from upper shear connection is to be applied to the other side of the top shear connection of precast panel. Since the composite flexural behavior of the two members govern the total behavior during the push loading process, the ultimate horizontal resistance of this specimen was not directly influenced by shear strength at the top connection of precast panel. However, the RC column and PC wall panel member mainly exhibited non-composite behavior during the pull loading process. The ultimate horizontal resistance was directly influenced by the shear strength of top connection because the pull loading from the beam applied directly to the upper shear connection. The analytical result for the internal shear resistance at the connection pursuant to the anchor shear design of ACI 318M-11 Appendix-D, agreed with the experimental result based on the elastic analysis of Midas-Zen by using the largest loading from experiment.
