본 논문은 풍력발전 시스템의 하부 지지 구조물인 타워의 플랜지 연결부 설계 평가를 위한 플랜지 모델건전성 평가 기법에 대해 다룬다. 일반적으로 풍력발전 시스템 타워의 연결부는 Ring-형 플랜지의 형태를 가지고 있다. 이러한 ring-형 플랜지에 대한 설계 기준 및 방법은 풍력 발전 시스템 기술기준 등 에 명시되어있다. 이러한 설계 기준을 따르는 플랜지 연결부에 대해 구조 및 체결 볼트의 건전성 평가를 위해 하중평가 전용 프로그램인 GH-Bladed 3.8를 통해 생성된 하중 데이터를 유한요소 범용 프로그램인 Ansys 12.0에 접목하여 구조해석을 수행 하였다. 해석 방법은 풍력발전시스템의 타워를 셸 요소로 모델링하여 계산한 해석 결과를 플랜지 모델의 경계면에 적용 시켜 해석하는 submodeling 기법과 타워를 빔의 형태로 단순화 화여 계산한 거동 결과를 플랜지 모델에 적용하는 기법을 사용 하였다. 이 두 가지의 해석 기법으로 도출된 결과의 비교를 통하여 해석 결과 신뢰성을 평가하고 효율적이고 합리적인 방법을 제시하고자 하였다.

헬리컬파일은 한 개 이상의 나선형 원판이 고강도 강관 파이프에 부착된 말뚝이다. 기존의 헬리컬파일은 커플러 형태의 연결방식을 사용하였으나, 볼트 구멍과 볼트사이의 유격 및 연결소켓과 강관 사이의 유격등으로 인한 높은 지지력 기대가 힘들었다. 본 연구는 헬리컬파일 연결방식 개선을 위해 기존 커플러형식에서 플랜지 형식을 적용하였고, 정재하시험을 통해 지지력을 비교 분석 하였다. 정재하시험결과 플랜지 형태의 연결방식이 커플러 형태의 연결방식보다 높은 지지력이 발휘되었고 플랜지형태 적용시 상향식그라우팅이 가능하여 품질이 향상되었다. 또한 연결부 유격을 방지 할 수 있었다.

In this study, we investigated the behavior characteristics of the L-type flange bolt connection, which is used to connect upper and lower flanges having L-type ring sections, by bolts. This connection is mainly used in domestic wind turbine structures, wherein it is a vital component as any imperfection could cause the collapse of the entire structural system. Therefore, understanding the behavior characteristics of the L-type flange bolt connection is imperative. In this study, the connection's response to external force was simulated using finite element (FE) analysis and the FE model was idealized to behave as a single L-type bolt flange. The variation in the bolt tension and the L-type flange stress were analyzed to understand the behavior characteristics of the connection. Moreover, the bolt-load function models proposed by Petersen, Schmidt/Neuper and VDI 2230, theoretically expressing a relation between bolt tension and external force, were compared to evaluate the suitability of the FE analysis and analyze the significant behavior characteristics of the connection. Furthermore, the changes in the bolt-load curve due to the variations in the partial dimensions of the L-type flange bolt connection were analyzed.

강철도 플레이트거더교의 경우 일반적으로 레일의 폭보다 거더 사이의 폭이 넓기 때문에 거더에 편심이 작용하게 된다. 이러한 편심 영향으로 거더 내측 상부플랜지에 휨변형이 일어나게 되어, 상부플랜지와 수직보강재 용접이음부에 반복하중에 의한 피로균열이 발생되고 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공용중인 강철도 플레이트거더교를 대상교량으로 하여 공용하중에 대한 구조해석을 실시하였다. 대상교량에 대한 현장계측을 기초로 구조모델링을 검증하였고, 검증된 구조모델링을 사용하여 열차하중 하에서의 상부플랜지와 수직보강재 용접연결부에서의 피로균열 보강방안에 대한 구조해석을 실시하였다. 또한 상부플랜지와 수직보강재 용접이음부 상세해석을 통하여 피로균열 발생위치를 확인하고 연결이음부의 적절한 보강방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Abutment-to-pile connection in an integral abutment bridge is vulnerable to lateral displacement induced by thermal movement of the superstructure. However, previous researches have merely focused on the connection. In order to improve the performance of the connection, new abutment-to-pile connection designs were proposed based on quasi-static nonlinear finite element model. The reinforcement detail specified in PennDOT DM4 and HSS tube were barely effective in controlling crack growing but spiral rebar effectively performed to delay crack growth as well as absorbing energy capacity. However, it was found that delaying cracking and strengthening the connection also caused the high lateral load in superstructures. Consequently, shape of HP pile were modified to introduce plastic hinge of the HP pile for reducing the lateral load in superstructures. Connections with modified HP pile significantly prevented crack propagations under the lateral displacement.

The longitudinal stiffener performs its role to increase the local buckling strength by making simple support upon compression flange. In the recent researches, it is investigated that compression flange with point supports on certain arrangement reveals the same strength with longitudinal stiffeners. From this results, it is predictable that shear stud could perform the role of longitudinal stiffener if shear stud embedded in concrete satisfies the requirement to point-support under yield stress of the compression flange. In this study, the researches were performed to investigate the optimally required arrangement space of longitudinal point-support for which the shear stud replacing the longitudinal stiffeners and simultaneously determine the required numbers and space of shear stud for completely composite behavior between compression bottom flange and bottom concrete on the double composite girder system.

In designing a high strength bolted beam splice using steel for building structures, it is necessary to present the appropriate steel grade selection criteria for how to determine the cover plate steel grade. This study examined the difference in tensile behavior according to the steel grades through static tensile tests simulating the beam member high strength bolt joints flange. For this purpose, the specimens were designed and fabricated with the main variables, such as the thickness, steel grade and the strength of flange and cover plate, which are expected to affect the splice strength and behavior. The tensile test results for a total of 48 specimens showed that the tensile-load capacity exceeded the design tensile strength applied with a nominal strength of steel in all specimens. When the design strength of the cover plate exceeded 1.25 times that of the flange plate, the flange plate governed the behavior of splice. The change in maximum tensile load due to the change in flange steel grade is not very large, but there is a difference in deformation. The test results confirmed that the steel grade and thickness of the cover plate were the main factors affecting the beam splice behavior.

To evaluate the structural integrity for the strainer under seismic loading the seismic analysis and design were performed for T-type strainer in accordance with ASME, Section Ⅲ, Class 3(ND). Since there are no specified design requirements for the strainer in ASME Code, the strainer body was analysed according to ND-3500, valve design. Flanged joints connected with PCS piping were designed according to ND-3658.3. And the criteria for the cover flange was governed by the Appendix XI. Both a frequency analysis and an equivalent static seismic analysis of the strainer were carried out using the finite element computer program, ANSYS. The frequency analysis results show the fundamental natural frequency is greater than 33Hz, thus justifying the use of the equivalent static analysis through which membrane and bending stresses are obtained in the critical points near the branch connection area. The results of the seismic evaluation fully satisfied with the structural acceptance criteria of the ASME Code. Accordingly the structural integrity on the strainer body and flanges were proved.

Depending on the water depth and composition of seabed, there exist different alternatives for the wind turbine supporting structures. Among several types of the structures, the monopile foundation is the dominant solution for support structure, accounting for over 80% of the offshore wind turbines in Europe. To develop the monopile foundation suitable for domestic ocean environment, a basic design of a transition piece was carried out. This paper presents the design procedure of a flange connected transition piece and results of the structural safety assessment.
