In this study, the various load cases by specified by the IEC61400-1 international specification and GL Regulations for the wind energy conversion system were considered, and a specific composite structure configuration which can effectively endure various loads was proposed. In order to evaluate the structure, the structural analysis for the composite wind turbine blade was performed using the finite element method(FEM). In the structural design, the acceptable configuration of blade structure was determined through the parametric studies, and the most dominant design parameters were confirmed. In the stress analysis using the FEM, it was confirmed that the blade structure was safe and stable for all the considerd load cases. Moreover the safety of the blade root joint with insert bolts, newly devised in this study, was checked against the design loads and also the fatigue loads. The fatigue life for operating more than 20 years was estimated by using the well-known S-N linear damage rule, the load spectrum and Spera's empirical equations. The full-scale static test was performed under the simulated aerodynamic loads. from the experimental results, it was found that the designed blade had the structural integrity. Furthermore the measured results were agreed with the analytical results such as deflections, strains, the mass and the radial center of gravity. The studied blade was successfully certified by an international institute, GL, of Germany.

최근 교통량의 증가에 의해 직접 하중을 부담하는 교량바닥판의 손상이 심각한문제로 부각되고 있다. 더욱이 차량하중의 증가는 바닥판손상을 더욱 가속화시키고 있는 실정이다. 바닥판의 손상이 심한 경우에는 교체 또는 성능개선공사를 시행하게 되는데, 이때 기존의 현장타설바닥판이 갖는 단점을 보완할 수 있는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판은 공기단축, 품질확보 등의 측면에서 매우 효과적인 대체공법이 될 수 있다. 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판은 기존의 현장타설바닥판과달리 바닥판간에 이음부를 갖는 구조적 특징이 있으며, 다양한응력상태에 있는 바닥판중에 존재하는 비연속부인 이음부와 콘크리트 부재사이의 원활한 하중전달을 위해 부착강도는 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이음부의 부착강도를 함리적으로 평가할 수 있는 새로운 실험방법을 제안하고 이를 이용하여 휨, 직접인장 및 전단실험을 수행하였다. 또한 구성재료에 대한 압축, 휨인장 및 할렬인장강도 특성도 평가하였 다. 부착 및 강도특성에 관한 실험결과, 제안된 실험방법을 이용하면 실제에 근접한 부착강도를 평가할 수 있으며 국내에서 사용되는 충전재료중 무수축모르터가 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판간 이음부의 채움재로서의 기본요건을 만족하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study is a basic experimental research to apply FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) box members to slabs and girders among various architectural structures, which receive bending stress. We prepared prefabricated FRP member and connected it to an FRP box member as a large cross section before we conducted an experiment in diverse conditions to analyze characteristics of compressive fracture behavior. In this study, we carried out a compressive fracture behavior test according to fillers on the upper part of the FRP box member, loading methods, and connective types and thereby performed a finite element analysis. The comparison of analysis results with test results revealed that rigidity was found to be slightly low, while stress was concentrated on the fracture point of the sample.

This paper presents a study of reinforced earth model wall reinforced by geosynthetics subjected to vertical surcharge. 7 types of reinforced earth model wall were constructed in the model box($100cm{\times}140cm{\times}100cm$) to assess the deformation and stress behavior of model walls according to different tensile strength and laying number of reinforcement and surcharge pressures. 3 types of geosynthetics that have different tensile strength were used as reinforcement. The test was carried out by changing the number of reinforcement to 5, 7, 9, and surcharge pressure to 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kPa. The model test found that the maximum lateral displacements occurred at the 0.7 H (H : Wall height) position from the bottom of the model wall and vertical stress was low in the smaller surcharge pressure and the larger tensile strength of reinforcement.

A turn-buckle inserted between tension members sustaining structural loads in the suspension structure system is a device capable of adjusting the tensile force. However, it is difficult to measure the tensile force that is applied to the tension member with the use of a conventional turn-buckle. So a measurable turn-buckle for tensile force measurement has been developed to improve on such a problem. This study focuses on the prevention of a local yielding as well as the maximization of yielding load mentioned in previous studies. A new type of turn-buckle for the measurement to practical use is suggested over the tentative purpose. For this purpose, the ABAQUS analysis of specimens based on theoretical analysis and tests are carried out. The differences among the results of the theoretical analysis, ABAQUS analysis, and the test were insignificant.

고도(高度)의 엔지니어링 구조물(構造物)로 경제성이 높은 경량(輕量) 목조(木造)트러스에 사용될 수 있는 소나무(Pinus densiflora) 재(材)에 적용한 20게이지 아연도금 강(鋼) 플레이트 접합부(接合部)의 조합하중(組合荷重) 및 모멘트 성능(性能)을 평가하기 위하여 정밀도를 개선(改善)한 편심가력(偏心加力) 장치(裝置)를 창안하여 실험하고 반강절(半剛節) 접합부의 개념(槪念)과 가상(假想)일 법(法)을 적용한 모형을 유도하여 비선형(非線形) 해석(解析)하였다. 반강절(半剛節) 접합부(接合部)의 개념을 도입하여 저자가 유도한 비선형(非線形) 모형으로 조합하중 하에서의 접합부 거동을 해석한 결과, 금속 플레이트 접합부의 모멘트는 Wolfe 모형에 비하여 정확도가 높은 값으로 계산되었는데, 이는 비선형모형에서 접합부의 반강성(半剛性)에 의한 2차적인 모멘트의 영향을 적절히 고려한 때문으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 실험장치는 조합하중에 대한 금속 플레이트 접합부의 성능을 평가하기 위한 표준시험법(標準試驗法)으로 적용될 수 있을 것이며, 비선형(非線形) 해석방법(解析方法)은 조합하중(組合荷重)및 모멘트 성능(性能)을 예측(豫測)하는데 활용될 수 있다.

Reinforced concrete buildings damaged by earthquake which can be reused can ensure the stability in its structure by repair-restrengthening, but when such a repair-restrengthening is conducted inappropriately or its structural strength is greatly reduced by earthquake again, it should have repair-restrengthening. This study selects beam-column joints which are vulnerable to earthquake as the object of experiment, performs repair-restrengthening after applying the first and the second dynamic loading to the objects of experiment, examines the capacity of restrengthening according to structural characteristics and loading velocity and verifys the validity of repair-restrengthening.

The purpose of this study is to present a rational analytical method for predicting the behavioral characteristics from crack occurrence to fracture for a one-way CFRP grid reinforced concrete slab specimen. A total of four specimens were selected by Zhang et al.(2004) as the main experimental variables for CFRP grid amount, material properties and loading method. Analysis was performed through the Nonlinear Finite Element analysis program(RCAHEST), which applied the newly modified constitutive relational equations by the author. The mean and coefficient of variation for maximum moment from the experiment and analysis results was predicted 1.38 and 7 %. The mean and coefficient of variation for displacement corresponding maximum moment from the experiment and analysis results was predicted 1.41and 9.8 %. The prediction results for the behavioral characteristics from crack occurrence to fracture were verified and evaluated. It is judged that additional research is needed to secure various experimental results and to develop a more reliable analytical method.

In this study, we developed Void Plywood Slab (VPS) that improved the shape of existing hollow materials. Its performance was evaluated through one-way flexural and one-way shear tests using the developed VPS. As a result of the one-way flexural performance tests of VPS, the yield load value for FPS series(longitudinal direction specimens with hollow materials) was approximately 97.5% compared to FPS-00(without hollow materials) specimen. The tests showed that the yield load was not much different. In addition, FNS series(transverse direction specimens with hollow materials) also represented about 97% of FPS-00 specimen. The one-way flexural performance was shown to have little impact from void materials. Therefore, it is confirmed that the presented system is applicable to the VPS to the slab design. The results of the one-way shear performance tests of VPS showed that it was about 92% compared to the SS-00(without hollow materials) specimen. These results were somewhat insufficient for the SS-00 specimen. Shear strength equation is expressed as the sum of shear force by concrete and shear force by reinforcement. However, in the case of void slab, it is believed that the concrete section has been deleted by the void material. However, the strength of the structure applied to the shear design, as with the flexural design, is also applied to the design based on the yield load value.

The use of reinforced earth walls id permanent structures is getting its popularity. Despite a number of advantages of reinforced earth walls over conventional concrete retaining walls, there exists concerns over long-term residual deformations when subjected to repeated and/or cyclic loads, during their service period. In this investigation, the effects of pre-loading in reducing long term residual deformation of reinforced soil structures under sustained and/or repeated loading environment are investigated using a series of reduced-scale model tests. A model pier and a back-to-back (BTB) reinforced soil structures were constructed and tested under various loading and backfilling conditions. The results indicate that the pre-loading technique can be an effective means of controlling residual deformations of reinforced soils under various loading conditions.
