In the present study, nonlinear earthquake analysis was carried out for a steel girder bridge that had been damaged by the 1995 Kobe earthquake. For such analysis, the use of hysteretic models describing flexure-axial and shear-axial interaction was suggested. The models were incorporated into a structural analysis program in terms of the joint elements representing hinge models, and then a simplified analysis scheme using the hinge models was employed for bridge piers. The analytical predictions of the flexure-axial interactive hinge model show a good correlation with those of the detailed fiber element model. In addition, the analytical predictions of the flexure-shear-axial interactive hinge model enable a displacement component to be separately captured. It is thus recognized that the present study can be a useful scheme for the healthy evaluation of the global displacement performance of piers subjected to earthquake excitation.

현재까지의 철근콘크리트(R/C)부재의 이력거동을 예측하기 위한 이론적 연구는 대부분이 휨 변위량이 전체 변위량을 지배한다는 가정하에 휨 해석을 행하고 있다. 그러나 지진과 같은 탄성한계를 벗어난 강한 동적반복하중을 받는 경우 철근 콘크리트 부재의 변위량은 휨 변위량 뿐만 아니라 전단 변위량 및 부재연결부에서의 회전 변위량에 의해 지배됨이 많은 연구를 통해 밝혀졌다. 전단이력거동은 강성과 강도저하가 심하게 나타나고 낮은 에너지 발산능력을 갖는 특징에 의해 휨 이력거동과는 구별되며 반복하중이 계속되면 강성이 저하되는 경향때문에 전단변형이 R/C부재의 거동을 지배하게 된다. 이러한 부재거동의 특징에 견주어 볼 때 현재 사용되고 있는 해석모델을 이용하여 동적응답을 예측하고, 해석하여 설계된 기존의 R/C부재는 강한 동적하중을 받을 경우 해석적으로는 전혀 예측치 못하게 되는 결과를 초래하게 된다.

Many numerical analysis tools for predicting penetration speed of sheet pile are thought to be unreliable because they overestimate penetration speed for shallow depth of penetration. In order to overcome the defects of numerical analysis, lateral vibration model of sheet pile was suggested and energy consumption due to lateral vibration of sheet pile was estimated. Also, load reduction factor which explains reduction of vibratory driving force due to lateral vibration was introduced.

Five concrete compressive stress-strain models have been analyzed to check the validity of the strength method for determining the nominal moment of strengthened members using commercially available computer language. The results show that the concrete stress-strain models do not influence on the flexural analysis. The moment of a strengthened member obtained from the flexural analysis at concrete compressive strain reaching 0.003 is well agreed with nominal moment using the strength method. The flexural analysis results show that when the steel reinforcement, FRP ratio, FRP failure strain, and concrete failure compressive strain are relatively lower, the strength method overestimates the flexural capacity of the strengthened members.

The current AASHTO LRFD and Eurocode 3 specifications have been found to underestimate the flexural strength of longitudinally reinforced plate girders. This is because the web-flange interaction is not considered appropriately when a web is reinforced. The buckling strength of compression flange increases due to the improved rotational restraint to the compression flange. Also, the compression flange and the longitudinal stiffener could constrain the web rotation, so that a certain area of the web reaches yield strength. In this study, a model for evaluating the flexural strength is proposed for plate girders reinforced with one line of longitudinal stiffeners, considering the increase of the buckling strength of the compression flange and the actual stress distribution of the web. The flexural strengths of the conventional steel(SM490) and the high-strength steel(HSB800) plate girders were evaluated from the nonlinear analysis and the applicability of the proposed model was analyzed.

A model for the nonlinear flexural analysis of extruded Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) panel reinforced concrete (RC) composite slab has been newly presented. From direct tensile test, ECC panel has been modeled to have the high-ductile tensile behavior after cracking. The developed model was compared with bending test results of two specimens, a conventional RC slab and a ECC panel RC composite slab. The predicted results were well patched with the experimental results, and the ECC panel RC composite slab system had advantages in crack control and improving flexural load-carrying capacity and deformation-capacity.

A nonlinear finite element analysis was conducted in order to examine the moment capacity and flexural behaviour of hollow prestressed concrete filled steel tube(HCFT) piles which compose hollow PHC piles inside thin wall steel tubes. The parameters investigated in this study were various contact conditions between concrete and steel tube, thickness of concrete tube and various PC strands. A simple method is proposed to determine the ultimate flexural strength based on plastic stress distribution method. In order to verify the proposed method, calculated moment capacity of various HCFT piles are compared with the experiment and numerical analysis results.

On the basis of the strain-based shear strength model developed in the previous study, a strength model was developed to predict the direct punching shear capacity and unbalanced moment-carrying capacity of interior and exterior slab-column connections. Since the connections are severely damaged by flexural cracking, punching shear was assumed to be resisted mainly by the compression zone of the slab critical section. Considering the interaction with the compressive normal stress developed by the flexural moment, the shear strength of the compression zone was derived on the basis of the material failure criteria of concrete subjected to multiple stresses. As a result, shear capacity of the critical section was defined according to the degree of flexural damage. Since the exterior slab-column connections have unsymmertical critical sections, the unbalanced moment-carrying capacity was defined according to the direction of unbalanced moment. The proposed strength model was applied to existing test specimens. The results showed that the proposed method predicted the strengths of the test specimens better than current design methods.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in-plane bending moment for T-joints made of cold-formed square hollow steel sections. In the previous studies, the T-joint was shown not to have an obvious peak load, and the failure mode was the main chord flange failure at the branch-width-to-chord-width ratio ($\beta$) of below 0.71. Based on the experimental results, including the tests conducted by Zhao, the deformation limit of 1% B was proposed for ${16.7{\leq}2{\gamma}(=B/T){\leq}33}$ and ${0.34{\leq}{\beta}(=b_{1}/B){\leq}0.71}$. Then, the ultimate in-plane bending strength was shown to be Mu=1.5${\cdot}$M1% B. The existing strength formulae for the original T-joint were investigated and were determined to be the main chord flange failure for the branch-squared T-joint. The bending strength formulae of CIDECT and other researchers were compared with the test results. Finally, a reasonably good agreement with Zhao's formula was found. Therefore, the design guidelines were presented based on Zhao's strength formula for T-joints.

I-거더 형식의 연속교 교각 부근에서는 큰 부모멘트가 작용하게 되며 이로 인하여 소성힌지가 생성되게 된다. 소성힌지가 형성됨에 따라 교각 부근의 부모멘트는 감소하게 되며, 정모멘트부의 휨모멘트는 반대로 증가하게 된다. 이러한 모멘트 재분배가 원활히 발생하기 위해서는 소성힌지가 충분한 휨연성 혹은 단면회전 능력을 가지고 있어야 한다. 하지만 고강도 강재를 적용한 연속교에서는 재료연성이 다소 떨어지는 경향이 있고, 재료의 항복응력이 증가할수록 I-거더의 탄성 변형량은 이에 비례하여 증가하므로, 소성변형 능력 및 휨연성이 감소하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 고강도 강재를 I-거더 형식의 연속교에 적용할 때 부모멘트부의 휨연성을 정량적으로 예측하여 재분배 모멘트가 원활히 이루어 지는지에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석 연구를 통하여 고강도강재 적용 I-거더 연속교의 재분배 모멘트를 고려한 휨거동 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과 재료의 인장 강도가 증가함에 따라 탄성 변형이 증가하며 소성 변형 능력이 저하됨으로 I-거더의 휨연성이 현저하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 소성모멘트 까지 선형거동하는 재료모델을 이용한 간략식을 통하여 연속교의 휨거동을 예측하여 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하였다.
