This paper presents the seismic performance of a geometrically unsymmetrical reinforced concrete building considering torsional effect and material nonlinearity of concrete and steel. The reinforced concrete building is a structure for seismic performance evaluation in the SMART-2013 international benchmark program. Nonlinear constitutive models for concrete and steel were constructed, and their numerical performance was demonstrated by various local tests. Modal analysis showed that the first three natural frequencies and mode shapes were close to the experimental results from the SMART-2013 program. In the time history analysis for low-intensity seismic loadings, displacement and acceleration responses at sampling points were similar to the experimental results. In the end, nonlinear time history analysis was conducted for Northridge earthquake to predict the behavior of the reinforced concrete structure under high-intensity seismic loadings.

The strut-tie model approach has proven to be effective in the ultimate analysis and design of structural concrete with disturbed regions. For the reliable analysis and design by the approach, however, the effective strength of concrete struts must be determined accurately. In this study, the validity of the effective strength of concrete struts, presented by the several design codes and many researchers including the author, was examined through the ultimate strength analysis of 24 reinforced concrete panels, 275 reinforced concrete deep beams, and 218 reinforced concrete corbels by using the conventional linear strut-tie model approach of current codes. The present study shows that the author's approach, resulting in an accurate and consistent evaluation of the ultimate strength of the panels, deep beams, and corbels, may reflect rationally the effects of primary variables including the types of strut-tie model and structural concrete, the conditions of load and geometry, and the strength of concrete in the strut-tie model analysis and design of structural concrete.

철근콘크리트 구조물의 공사중 뼈대공사라고 할 수 있는 철근공사에 있어서, 현행 철근의 절단 절곡 가공방법은 현장 인력 수작업에 의한 가공 즉 노동집약적 형태로 운영되어 왔으며, 특히 절단가공에 있어서는 철근의 강도저하가 우려되는 산소를 사용한 가열절단으로 행해지고 있어, 본고에서는 이와같은 현장여건을 개선하고, 궁극적으로 인력절감, 현장 생산성 및 품질 향상을 꾀하기 위하여 철근 가공(절단,절곡) 기계화 시스템을 적용한 시공사례를 중심으로 소개하기로 한다.

In this paper, the analysis of impact damage behavior of a reinforced concrete structure that undergoes both a shock impulsive loading and an impact loading due to the air blast induced from an explosion is performed. Firstly, a pair of multiple loadings are selected from the scenario that an imaginary explosion accident is assumed. The RC structures strengthened with advanced composite materials (ACM) are considered as a scheme for retrofitting RC wall structures subjected to multiple explosive loadings and then the evaluation of the resistant performance against them is presented in comparison with the result of the evaluation of a RC structure without a retrofit. Also, in order to derive the result of the analysis similar to that of real explosion experiments, which require the vast investment and expense for facilities, the constitutive equation and the equation of state (EOS) which can describe the real impact and shock phenomena accurately are included with them. In addition, the numerical simulations of two concrete structures are achieved using AUTODYN-3D, an explicit analysis program, in order to prove the retrofit performance of a ACM-strengthened RC wall structure.

Uncertainties in carbonation process of concrete structures are treated by probability-based durability analysis for carbonation using Monte Carlo simulation technique. The results requires the minimum cover thickness of 53mm for 10% of corrosion probability under 4mm/$year^{0.5}$ of carbonation coefficient. The more researches on statistical properties of design variables may give reliable durability analysis/design methods for carbonation of concrete structures.

거의 모든 철근콘크리트 구조물의 보강 강재는 분할된 두개 이상의 철근으로 제작되며, 이러한 철근의 분할 부위를 평행한 두개의 철근으로 겹쳐 설치하는 것을 겹이음(Lap splice)이라고 부른다. 일반적으로 겹이음 설계는 무리없이 설계 강도를 만족시킬 뿐만 아니라 충분히 긴 수명을 가진다. 그러나 550MPa 이상의 항복 강도를 갖는 철근이나 인장 부재의 설계, 초고성능 섬유보강 콘크리트의 보강재 설계와 같은 경우, 현행 철근 겹이음 설계만으로는 그 한계가 발생한다. 따라서 현 겹이음 설계는 관련 기준의 추가와 구조적인 측면에서의 개선이 필요할 것으로 보여지며, 이를 위해 적절한 실험과 데이터 분석, 그리고 컴퓨터를 이용한 새로운 설계 모델의 개발 등의 과정이 필요할 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구는 균질하지 않은 물성의 파괴를 다루는 RBSN(Rigid-Body-Spring Networks)을 통한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 더 효과적이고 정확한 겹이음 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단하고, 실제 모델링으로 그 가능성을 검증하였다.

A model for the nonlinear flexural analysis of extruded Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) panel reinforced concrete (RC) composite slab has been newly presented. From direct tensile test, ECC panel has been modeled to have the high-ductile tensile behavior after cracking. The developed model was compared with bending test results of two specimens, a conventional RC slab and a ECC panel RC composite slab. The predicted results were well patched with the experimental results, and the ECC panel RC composite slab system had advantages in crack control and improving flexural load-carrying capacity and deformation-capacity.

Korea Infrastructure Safety and Technology Corporation (KISTEC) specifies that the safety inspection and precise safety diagnosis of concrete structures shall be conducted in accordance with the 'Special Law on Safety Management of Infrastructure'. The detailed safety inspection and precise safety diagnosis guidelines presented by KISTEC, however, gives only the grade of members and structures, and thus it is impossible to quantify remaining service life (RSL) of the structures and to quantitatively reflect the effect of differential settlements on the RSL. Therefore, this study aims to develop a RSL evaluation model considering the differential settlements. To this end, a simple equation was proposed based on the correlations between differential settlements and angular distortion, by which the angular distortion of structures was then reflected in nominal strengths of structural members. In addition, the effects of the differential settlements on the RSL of structures were analyzed in detail by using the safety diagnosis results of actual concrete structure.

An efficient numerical procedure for material and geometric nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete shells under monotonically increasing loads through their elastic, inelastic and ultimate load ranges is developed by using the finite element method. The 8-node Serendipity isoparametric element developed by the degeneration approach including the transverse shear deformation is used. A layered approach is used to represent the steel reinforcement and to discretize the concrete behavior through the thickness. The total Lagrangian formulation based upon the simplified Von Karman strain expressions is used to take into account the geometric nonlinearity of the structure. The material nonlinearities are taken into account by comprising the tension, compression, and shear models of cracked concrete and a model for reinforcement in the concrete; and also a so-called smeared crack model is incorporated. The steel reinforcement is assumed to be in a uniaxial stress state and is modelled as a smeared layer of equivalent thickness. This method will be verified a useful tool to account for geometric and material nonlinearities in detailed analysis of reinforced concrete concrete shells of general form through numerical examples of the sequential paper( ).

The application of the BIM for architectural and structural work accompanied many trials-and-errors on project based on BIM by this time Ten years have passed since BIM issued, but it is not activated. This study suggests ways to activate BIM for architectural and structural work. The reason for choosing the structure construction is as follows. Construction cost is a high proportion of structural construction cost. On the other hand, the number of related materials is small, and the first in the 3D modeling process is structure modeling. And build BIM-based Structural Database by quantity take-off. This study shows the applicability of BIM through practical cases. This study is expected to provide suggestion for the successful implementation of BIM-based projects.
