In this study, the technology to prevent lateral deformation of steel dampers was reviewed and applied to the clamp type dampers. As for the experimental method, the rocking behavior was applied as in the previous study. The evaluation variables are the existing research results (SV-260) without lateral deformation prevention details and the test results (V-1, V-1R) with lateral deformation prevention details. Where, V-1 is the lateral deformation prevention detail at the lower part of the damper, and V-1R is the lateral deformation prevention detail at the lower part and upper part of the damper. As a result of evaluating the moment, drift ratio, and energy dissipation capacity relative to SV-260 at the time of maximum load, the maximum moments of V-1 and V-1R were increased by 1.22 times and 1.36 times compared to SV-260, and the maximum drift ratio increased by 2.41 times and 2.92 times. In addition, the energy dissipation capacity also increased by 1.39 times and 1.52 times, respectively. Therefore, the application of lateral deformation prevention details to the steel damper was evaluated as appropriate.

New design equations for calculating the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistances of singly stepped I-section beams subjected to general loading on the top flange are suggested based on the investigations of elastic finite-element analyses. The new equations presented in this study are compared with current moment gradient modifiers presented by other researchers and specifications. The study considered almost loading cases on buildings and bridges. The proposed equations should be easily used to calculate the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistance of stepped I-beams.

This paper presents theoretical and finite element analysis results for the lateral-torsional buckling of I-girders with corrugated web under uniform bending. Lateral-torsional buckling is a major design aspect for flexural members composed of thin-walled I-section. However, torsional rigidities such as the warping constants of the I-girders with corrugated web are not fully understood yet. In this paper, bending and pure torsional rigidities of I-girders with corrugated web are first described using the results of previous researchers. Then, the location of the shear center and the warping constants are derived. Using the derived section properties of I-girders with corrugated web, the lateral-torsional buckling strength is determined. Finite element analyses are conducted and the proposed lateral-torsional buckling strength of I-girders with corrugated web is successfully verified. Finally, the effects of corrugation profiles of the web on the lateral-torsional buckling load of I-girders with corrugated web are discussed.

오염원과 취수원이 인접한 위치에 존재하는 국내 하천 같은 경우 취수 시설의 안전한 관리를 위하여 오염물의 2차원 혼합 거동에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 하천에서의 오염물 혼합 거동을 분석하기 위하여 일반적으로 농도와 분산 정보 수집을 위한 추적자 실험을 수행해왔다. 기존에 수행된 추적자 실험들은 형광염료, 방사선 물질, 고형 물질 등과 같은 추적자를 인위적으로 주입하여 사용하였다. 그러나 수온, 전기전도도(electrical conductivity), 이온화 물질 등과 같은 자연 추적자(natural tracers)를 이용하는 추적자 실험은 인공추적자 물질을 대체할 수 있는 방안으로서, 기존 추적자 실험과 비교하여 경제적, 환경적인 효과와 하폭이 넓은 중규모 이상의 하천에서도 수행할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 진천천과 금호강이 합류하는 낙동강 중류 구간에서 횡혼합 연구를 위하여 전기 전도도 추적 실험을 수행하였다. 강정고령보 직하류에서 낙동강 좌안쪽에서 합류하는 금호강과 진천천의 경우 인근 공업단지와 하폐수처리장으로부터 많은 비점오염원과 점오염원이 유입된다. 두곳의 지류에서 모두 높게 측정되었던 전기전도도를 자연 추적자로 선택하였다. 지류의 경우 전기전도도를 측정할 수 있는 센서를 측정 지점에 설치하여 측정하였으며, 본류인 낙동강의 경우 정해진 측선을 따라 센서가 고정된 보트를 이동하며 데이터를 취득하였다. 지류인 금호강과 진천천의 경우, 합류 전 전기전도도의 농도의 횡분포는 균일한 분포를 나타냈으며 농도의 평균값은 합류 전 낙동강 본류의 기저농도 보다 더 높은 값을 나타내었다. 지류 합류 이후의 낙동강 본류에서는 지류로부터 유입된 오염물질로 인하여 횡방향으로 불균등한 전기전도도 농도 분포를 나타내었으며 오염물질이 점점 하류 쪽으로 이동하면서, 횡방향 농도경사의 크기가 줄어들었다. 유관모멘트법을 농도곡선에 적용하여 횡방향 분산계수를 산정하였다. 산정된 횡분산계수의 값은 Rutherford (1994)가 제안한 분산계수의 범위에 포함되는 것으로 나타났다.

Because boundary confinement details proposed in the current design standards are significantly inferior in workability and production quality, it is necessary to develop boundary confinement details of RC structural walls that are capable of ensuring seismic performance and workability. With the recent development of the wire rod manufacturing technology, various pre-fabricated continuous hoop details can be manufactured. In this study, an analysis was conducted on the moment-curvature relationship of RC structural walls to which the pre-fabricated continuous hoop details were applied. According to the nonlinear cross-section analysis, the RC structure wall to which the details of the pre-fabricated continuous hoop details are applied can ensure seismic performance as the area of the pre-fabricated continuous hoop increases. Based on these research results, when applying the pre-fabricated continuous hoop in detail, it is necessary to secure the area of the pre-fabricated continuous hoop as much as the area of the existing boundary confinement.

A analytical model is developed which can simulate a complete inelastic biaxial moment-curvature relations of a reinforced concrete column. The model can simulate sudden drop in moment capacity after peak moment and due to spalling of cover concrete. Parametric studies are performed examine the effects of constituent material properties as well as topological arrangement of reinforcements on moment-curvature relations and P-M interaction curve. It has been analytically observed that ductility of a reinforced concrete column is influenced mostly by magnitude of the axial load and spacings or the volume of lateral reinforcements. Compared to ACI P-M interaction curve, overall increase about 10％ in square root of sum of squares of axial force and moment, and about 20％ in peak load are observed for the columns reinforced according to ACI seismic design code.

For the lateral load resistance of a RC frame in a medium risk seismic zone, the strength of lower story beams and columns should be larger than those of the upper stories. However, the lateral loads can be accommodated by redistributing design beam moments vertically as well as horizontally so all beams end up with identical strengths. This paper looks at the impact of the vertical redistribution of beam moments to provide identical beam strength over as many floors as possible. Two-bay six-story RC frame was designed with and without vertical beam moment redistribution and its seismic performance were evaluated by using push-over limit analysis and by non-linear time history dynamic analysis. Analytical results show that with the use of vertical beam moment redistribution the increase in the ductility demand is similar to the proportion of moment redistribution applied, but this additional demand is below the ductility capacity of well detailed RC members.

The cross-sections of continuous multi-span beams sometimes suddenly increase, or become stepped, at the interior supports of continuous beams to resist high negative moments. The three-dimensional finite-element program ABAQUS (2007) was used to analytically investigate the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling behavior of stepped beams subjected to linear moment gradient and resulted in the development of design equations. The ratios of the flange thickness, flange width, and stepped length of beam are considered for the analytical parameters. Two groups of 27 cases and 36 cases, respectively, were analyzed for doubly and singly stepped beams in the inelastic buckling range. The combined effects of residual stresses and geometrical imperfection on inelastic lateral-torsional buckling of beams are considered. First, the distributions of residual stress of the cross-section is same as shown in Pi and Trahair (1995), and the initial geometric imperfection of the beam is set by central displacement equal to 0.1% of the unbraced length of beam. The new proposed equations definitely improve current design methods for the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling problem and increase efficiency in building and bridge design.

The objective of this research is to verify the code-specified girder distribution factors (GDF) for continuous steel girder bridges by field testing. Previous analytical study revealed that current GDF's specified in AASHTO Standard and AASHTO LRFD, developed for the simple span bridges are conservative even for the continuous bridges. In this study, field tests were performed for three continuous steel girder bridges to validate the GDF's specified in the AASHTO codes. The results show that the code values are conservative when compared with field tests, and in some cases, too conservative. Also, strains measured from the field test are, in most cases, smaller than those expected from the analytical results. However, when the GDF's from measured strains are compared with GDF's from analysis, it is found that the analysis results are not conservative, and in some instance, the analytical results underestimate the actual GDF's, which can lead to a groundless notion of safety. In one case, test results showed that the code GDF's specified in AASHTO LRFD is too permissive. As a result, it is found that GDF's specified in AASHTO LRFD should be used with careful reservation.
