This paper introduces a numerical analysis method for reinforced-concrete(RC) members exposed to fire and proposes considerations in designing RC structures on the basis of the comparison between numerical results and design codes. The proposed analysis method consists of two procedures of the transient heat transfer analysis and the non-linear structural analysis. To exactly evaluate the structural behavior under fire, two material models are considered in this paper. One is "Under-Fire" condition for the material properties at the high temperature and the other one is "After-Cooling" condition for the material properties after cooling down to air temperature. The proposed method is validated through the correlation study between experimental data and numerical results. In advance, the obtained results show that the material properties which are fittable to the corresponding temperature must be taken into account for an accurate prediction of the ultimate resisting capacity of RC members. Finally, comparison of the numerical results with the design code of EN1992-1-2 also shows that the design code needs to be revised to reserve the safety of the fire-damaged structural member.

Radiated noise analysis from a ship structure is a challenging topic owing to difficulties in the accurate calculation of the fluid-structure interaction as well as owing to a massive degree of freedom of the problem. To reduce the severity of the problem, a new fluid-structure interaction formulation is proposed in this paper. The complex frequency-dependent added mass and damping matrices are calculated using the high-order Burton-Miller boundary integral equation formulation to obtain accurate values over all frequency bands. The calculated fluid-structure interaction effects are added to the structural matrices calculated by commercial finite element software, MSC/NASTRAN. Then, the impedance and underwater radiation noise due to an excitation of structure are calculated. The present formulation is applied to a ship to calculate the underwater radiated noise.

In this paper, nonlinear analysis for reinforced concrete structure for power transmission line is performed by considering the characteristics of the failure, which are depend on loading conditions and concrete material models. On the numerical evaluation for the failure behavior, the finite element analysis is applied. For the concrete material model, microplane model based on concrete damage is introduced. However, to describe the crack bridging effect of long and short fiber of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), tensile softening model is suggested and applied for SFRC. An numerical results by finite element technique are compared with the experiment results for box culvert specimen. Comparing on the experimental and analytical results, validity and reliability of numerical analysis are investigated.

In general, stadium structure with long span has low inherent natural frequency. In the stadium structure, structural behavior similar to resonance can be occurred easily by spectator rhythmical movements of which exciting period is small comparatively. It is required to investigate the safety and the serviceability of stadium structure. Therefore, there exists a necessity for accurate vibration analysis. Accurate analysis of stadium structure subjected to dynamic load is required for economical construction and safe design of stadium structure. Stadium structure should be modeled by refined mesh for accurate vibration analysis. As the mesh of stadium structure is refined, the number of divided elements increases in numerical analysis. The number of node is increased and numerous computer memories or computational time are required. So it is very difficult to analyze refine model of stadium structures by using the commercial programs. It is possible to efficient vibration analysis of stadium structure by finite element modeling method using equivalent beam element proposed in this paper, because the number of nodes is decreased remarkably.

This work dealt with the design and manufacturing of composite blades of a vertical axis wind turbine system. In this work, aerodynamic and structural designs of sandwich composite blades for a vertical axis wind turbine system were performed. First, the aerodynamic and structural design requirements of the composite blades were investigated. After the structural design was complete, a structural analysis of the wind turbine blades was performed using the finite element analysis method. It was performed with the stress and displacement analysis at the applied load condition. A design modification for the structurally weak part was proposed as a result of the structural analysis. Through another structural analysis, it was confirmed that the final designed blade structure is safe.

본 논문에서는 국내 지진발생 시 비보강 조적조 건축물의 손상상태 예측 및 내진성능 평가를 위해 기존건축물을 대상으로 역량스펙트럼 해석을 수행하였다. 이는 지진피해를 보다 상세하게 예측하고 건축물의 거동을 파악하기 위한 방법으로 국내 설계 지진하중과 부재의 비선형 특성을 적용하여 해석을 수행하였으며 해석 결과는 구조물의 손상상태에 따라 Slight, Moderate, Extensive, Complete 등으로 구분하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 대부분의 건축물에서 약간의 구조적 피해(Slight)와 보통의 구조적 피해(Moderate) 정도로 나타났으며, 일부 건축물에서 심각한 구조적 피해(Extensive)가 발생하는 것으로 예측되었다. 이전 연구에서 비보강 조적조 건축물의 내진성능평가를 위해 구조내진판정지표를 사용하여 내진성능을 판정하였으며 대부분의 비보강 조적조 건축물이 내진성능을 만족하지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존 건축물에 구조내진 판정지표를 적용하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 역량스펙트럼 해석을 함에 따라 보다 상세한 구조물의 피해정도를 예측할 수 있었다.

In a practical engineering, the equivalent static analysis (E.S.A) and the response spectrum analysis (R.S.A) are generally used for the seismic analysis. The base shears obtained from the E.S.A are invariable no matter how the principal axes of building structures are specified on an analysis program while those from the R.S.A are variable. Accordingly, the designed member size may be changed by how an engineer specify the principal axes of a structure when the R.S.A is used. Moreover, the base shears in the normal direction to the excitation axis are sometimes produced even when an engineer performs a response spectrum analysis in only one direction. This tendency makes the base shear, which is used to calculate the scale-up factor, relatively small. Therefore the scale-up factor becomes larger and it results in uneconomical member sizes. To overcome these disadvantages of the R.S.A, an alternative has been proposed in this study. Three types of example structures were adapted in this study, i.e. bi-direction symmetric structure, one-direction antisymmetric structure and bi-direction antisymmetric structure. The seismic analyses were performed by rotating the principal axes of the example structures with respect to the global coordinate system. The design member forces calculated with the scale-up factor used in the practice were compared with those obtained by using the scale-up factor proposed in this study. It can be seen from this study that the proposed method for the scale-up factor can provide reliable and economical results regardless of the orientation of the principal axes of the structures.

The objective of this research is to evaluate of global and local damage for steel-concrete composite structures under highway bridge exposed to fire loading. To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical analysis, the proposed transient nonlinear thermal structure interaction(TSI) parallel fire analysis method is implemented in ANSYS. To validate the TSI parallel fire analysis method, a comparison is made with the standard fire test results. The proposed TSI parallel fire analysis method is applied to fire damage analysis and performance evaluation for Buchen highway bridge. The result of analysis, temperature of low flange and web are exceed the critical temperature. The deflection and deformation state show good agreement with the fire accident of buchen highway bridge.

In order to evaluate the deformation and stiffness of frame structure for fishery, composed of unit platforms which made of two concentric high density polyethylene buoys fixed by clamps and belts and rubber hinge components, under wave, the structural analysis for the square type of the structure was carried out by using finite element methods. The accurate physical properties of rubber hinge components determined by material tests were an important parameter to evaluate more reliable structural stability for the structure. The idealization to beam element with equivalent stiffness and rubber element with linearity for rubber hinges was necessary for the modeling of rubber component which has hyper-elastic characteristics. In addition, it was shown that the structural response of the structure under wave was larger in the hogging condition than that of in the still water or in the sagging condition.
