The uniform truss mechanism is widely accepted as a shear transfer mechanism in reinforced concrete members. However, the uniform truss action cannot be expected when the bond stress distribution is not constant along longitudinal bars. A test method in which only the truss action takes place is developed and conducted to investigate the truss actions under various bond contributions. Based on the experimental results and analysis, the following findings can be obtained: 1) The bond stress distribution depends on the axial compression force, the amount of shear reinforcement and loading conditions. 2) The analysis using the combined truss model consisting of uniform and fan-shape trusses can predict the experimental results

Trusses are found in many common structures such as bridges and buildings. The truss is a fundamental design element in engineering structures and it is important for an engineer to apply the truss design to engineering structures by understanding the mechanics of truss element. In an experimental course, the experiment selves as an example of the usefulness of the Wheatstone bridge in amplifying the output of a transducer. With the apparatus described here, it is possible to obtain experimental measurements of forces in a truss member which agree within errors to predictions from elementary mechanics. The apparatus is inexpensive, easy to operate, and suitable as either a classroom demonstration or student laboratory experiment. This device is a small table-top experiment. The conventional strain measuring device is costly and complicated - it is not simple to understand its structure. Hence, strain gage and the A/D converter are assembled to come up with a load and a strain measuring device. The device was tested for measuring the strain in a loaded specimen and the results were compared to those predicted by theory of mechanics.

This paper suggests a vibration control method long span structures with trussed roof. Basic concept of this method is based on the energy absorption through hysteresis loop of an elasto-plastic element. This element is attached on the top of the column supporting the roof. Two different types of roofs and three of earthquake waves are used in the investigation. It shows that this is very efficient method to reduce the seismic energy of roof member transferred from the column.

본 고에서는 철골 구조물에 있어서 일어나고 있는 좌굴에 대해, 현재 외국에서 진행중인 연구의 일부를 소개하였다. 이들의 기본 개념은 좌굴이 일어날 수 있는 압축부재에 있어서 최대내력, 즉 좌굴이 일어나기 이전에 부재를 압축에 대해 항복시킴으로써, 좌굴을 방지하려는 연구의 일종으로서, 부재의 강도면에 있어서는 큰 손실이 뒤따르게 된다. 하지만, 트러스 등의 구조물에 있어서 압축보다 인장에 대해서 사전에 항복하도록 설계(선인장 항복설계)가 이루어진 경우일지라도, 인장항복만으로 붕괴기구가 형성된다. 또한, 일반적으로 트러스를 제작함에 있어서 시공상의 오차가 발생할 가능성이 상존하고 있으며, 부정확하게 시공된 구조물에 있어서는 설계시 상정된 파괴기구와는 다른 형태의 파괴기구가 형성될 가능성이 있다. 따라서, 안정항복하여 큰 소성변형이 필요한 경우에는 상기의 방법이 유효하다고 사료된다. 한편 본 고에서 예로 다루고 있는 2중 강관구조에 있어서는, 외관과 내관의 단면적비가 약 1:1.5 정도이며, 보강재로 사용되는 내관을 아무리 저급의 제품을 사용한다해도 불경제적이 될 가능성이 크다. 따라서 금후, 내관의 단면 결정을 위한 많은 연구가 이루어져야 한다고 생각한다.

최근 들어 90도 표준갈고리의 대안으로 정착판을 지니는 헤드 철근(headed bar)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 헤드 철근의 정착내력은, 정착판의 지압력과 위험단면에서 헤드까지 정착길이의 부착력으로 발현된다. 실제 구조물에서는 정착되는 부재의 재료 및 기하학적 물성에 의해 다양한 파괴가 발생된다. 따라서 헤드 철근의 정착내력은 단순히 지압력과 부착력의 합으로 산정될 수 없으며, 발생 가능한 모든 파괴양상을 고려한 최소 내력으로 결정되어야 한다. 헤드 철근의 정착내력을 산정하기 위한 기본적인 해석모델로, CCT 절점에 정착된 헤드 철근의 트러스 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 트러스 모델의 파괴는 부착파괴와 콘크리트의 압축파괴로 구분되며, 재료 및 기하학적 물성에 의해 파괴 양상이 결정된다. 이러한 트러스 모델은 외부 보-기둥 접합부와 같이 보다 복잡한 부위에 정착된 헤드철근의 정착 기구를 설명하는데 활용될 수 있다.

A shear experiment of one-way monotonic loading was carried out with the shear span ratio as the main experimental variable for reinforced concrete beam. Using the finite element analysis as the experimental analysis tool and the analysis method to compute the shear resistance of small shear span ratio, a new macro-model composed of crooked main strut and sub strut is proposed in consideration of the effect of bond action between re-bar and concrete based on the experimental result. The experimental finding affirmed the validity of the proposed macro-model when the shear span ratio was at or below 0.75 and confirmed that the experimental result was the most consistent with the computed analysis result when the effective factor of concrete compressive strength was set at 0.75.

The traditional robot manipulators are actuated by continuous range of motion actuators such as motors or hydraulic cylinders. However, there are many applications of mechanisms and robotic manipulators where only a finite number of locations need to be reached, and the robot's trajectory is not important as long as it is bounded. Binary manipulator uses actuators which have only two stable states. As a result, binary manipulators have a finite number of states. The number of states of a binary manipulator grows exponentially with the number of actuators. This kind of robot manipulator has some advantage compared to a traditional one. Feedback control is not required, task repeatability can be very high, and finite state actuators are generally inexpensive. And this kind of robot manipulator has a fault tolerant mechanism because of kinematic redundancy. This paper develops algorithms for kinematics and workspace analysis of a binary manipulator.

In this study, an equation for modelling the shear strength of reinforced concrete member with web reinforcement is proposed. Although the general formulas for shear strength of reinforced concrete member with small a /d are obtained based on the experimental results, the proposed equation herein is derived from lower bound theorem of limit analysis. The proposed model takes into account arch mechanism and truss mechanism. And ir provides the values of divided shear strength ratio of each mechanism as well as visual understanding of the mechanism on how the given load is transfered to the support. Also, the model takes into account the effect of a /d. longitudinal reinforcement ratio, and web reiriforcement ratio quantitively. Based on the comparisons of the result of this model with previous, test results, it shows good agreements.

The traditional robot manipulators are actuated by continuous range of motion actuators such as motors or hydraulic cylinders. However, there are many applications of mechanisms and robotic manipulators where only a finite number of locations need to be reached, and the robot’s trajectory is not important as long as it is bounded. Binary manipulator uses actuators which have only two stable states. As a result, binary manipulators have a finite number of states. The number of states of a binary manipulator grows exponentially with the number of actuators. This kind of robot manipulator has some advantage compared to a traditional one. Feedback control is not required, task repeatability can be very high, and finite state actuators are generally inexpensive. And this kind of robot manipulator has a fault tolerant mechanism because of kinematic redundancy. In this paper, we solve the inverse kinematic problem of a binary parallel robot manipulator using neural network and test the validity of this structure using some arbitrary points m the workspace of the robot manipulator. As a result, we can show that the neural network can find the nearest feasible points and corresponding binary states of the joints of the robot manipulator
