Soil nailing is used as a method of slope stabilization and excavation support. The design method of soil nail are based on experience or assumption of interaction between soil and reinforcement. Most design methods simply considers the tension of reinforcement for analysis of slope stabilization. Soil nails interact with soils under combined loading of shear and tension. Jewell & Pedley suggested a design equation of shear force with bending stiffness and discussed that the magnitude of the maximum shear force is small in comparison with the maximum axal force. However, they have used a very conservative limiting bearing stress on nails. This paper discusses that the shear strength of soil nails should not be disregarded with proper bearing stresses on nails. The modified FHWA design method was proposed by considering shear forces on nails with bending stiffness.

This experimental study of prominent section bending behavior beam without shear connector provides bond capacity between concrete profile and initial stiffness of SC beam by comparing the test result with a theological analysis result and an ANSYS(common structural analysis program) analysis result. The compared result provides a fundamental study for practical use of efficient SC beam. Test result indicates 88%-98% rate of theological result in moment capacity and composition ratio shows 30%-70%. In other words, the results are insufficient to make a complete composite action. Therefore, it is need to make pull shear connection of connection method.

A 4-node element for efficient finite element analysis of plate bending is presented in this paper. This element is formulated based on Mindlin plate theory to take account of shear deformation. To overcome the overestimation of shear stiffness in thin Mindlin plate element, especially in the lower order element, five nonconforming displacement modes are added to the original displacement fields. The proposed nonconforming element does not possess spurious zero-energy mode and does not show shear locking phenomena in very thin plate even for distorted mesh shapes. It was recognized from benchmark numerical tests that the displacement converges to the analytical solutions rapidly and the stress distributions are very smooth. The element also provides good results for the case of high aspect ratio.

Most of apartments, buildings and venues today were built without consideration of earthquake when there was no mandate for an earthquake-resistant design. To reinforce such construction, a compressive method of steel plate is widely used. In spite of continuous researches on the compressive method of steel plate, it has not been systematically evaluated for the effects of various factors affecting the structural behavior of beam and its effect on intensity and failure. Therefore, this study aims to determine the flexural behavior of beam due to Anchor conjugation through the materials obtained by making load test for the Anchor conjugated steel plate while the anchor is set as variable.

A recent application of advanced composite materials, primarily fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites, in structures is the reinforcement of conventional structural materials, such as concrete and glued-laminated timber (glulam), to increase their performance. In particular, the construction of large-scale glulam structures usually requires members with large depths and to significantly increase the stiffness and strength of glulam, the members can be reinforced with FRP at top and bottom surfaces. In this paper, glulam beams reinforced with GFRP strip are tested under 2-point bending and results are compared with numerical solution using layer-wise beam theory.

In this study, the use of a steel yielding damper is considered as an appropriate method to enhance the behavior of CBFs and a steel damper which is economical and straightforward to construct and replace after a severe earthquake is developed. The proposed damper was investigated experimentally and numerically. In addition, a parametric study was performed to evaluate the effect of the three types of damper mechanisms (shear, shear-flexural, and flexural) on the behavior of the proposed damper. The experimental results, as well as the numerical results, indicate that the shear damper exhibits better performance than the other dampers in terms of strength and stiffness.

구조적으로 손상을 입은 구조물들에 대한 보강방법으로 강판, 카본쉬트, 아라미드섬유쉬트 등을 이용한 접착공법이 최근 들어 많이 사용되고 있으며 그 중 가장 널리 Tm이는 방법은 강판접착공법이다. 강판접착공법에 대해서는 많은 연구가 진행되어 오고 있으나, 보의 구조적 거동에 영향을 미치는 다양한 인자들의 영향이나 강성, 파괴양상등에 미치는 영향들에 대해서는 체계적인 평가가 이루어지지 않은 실정이며 특히 강판접착공법에서 파괴에 큰 영향을 미치는 박리하중에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일련의 철근콘크리트보부재를 대상으로 하여 주요실험변수로 선행하중의 크기, 강판의길이, 강판의 두께, 앵커볼트의 간격과 유무, 강판의 층수, 측면보강높이를 실험변수로 하여, 휨인장에 대해 강판잡착공법을 적용하여 포괄적인 실험을 수행하였다. 3등분점하중법의 실험결과를 이용하여 처짐, 인장 및 압축 철근의 변형도, 콘크리트와 강판의 변형도를 분석하였고, 이를 토대로 파괴양상과 파괴하중을 분석하였다.

This study presents a governing equations of bending behavior of anisotropic sandwich plates with multi-layered laminated composite faces. Based on zig-zag models for through thickness deformations, the shear deformation of composite faces is included. All edges of plate are assumed to be simply supported. Results of the bending analysis under lateral loads are presented for the influence of various lay up sequences of antisymmetric angle-ply laminated faces. The accuracy of the approach is ascertained by comparing solutions from the sandwich plates theory with composite faces to the laminated plates theory. Since the present analysis considers the bending stiffness of the core and also the transverse shear deformations of the laminated faces, the proposed method showed higher than that calculated according to the general laminated plates theory. The information presented might be useful to design sandwich plates structure with polymer matrix composite faces.

Membrane structures, a kind of lightweight soft structural system, are used for spatial structures. The material property of the membrane has strong axial stiffness, but little bending stiffness. Therefore membrane structures are unstable structures initially. These soft structures need to be introduced initial stresses first because of its initial unstable state, and it happens large deformation phenomenon. To find the structural shape after large deformation caused by initial stiffness introduced, we need the shape analysis considering geometric nonlinearity in structural design procedure In this study, we analyze the soft spatial structures by the NASS which is the program for nonlinear analysis. The analytic model is a roof membrane structures of Barrel Vault-Type. We have done the shape analysis and the stress-deformation analysis considering the orthotropic material, and then study the safety.

Bending and axial forces simultaneously occur at the cross-section of a shotcrete lining reinforced with steel supports due to the tunnel geometry. The shotcrete has changing flexural stiffness depending on the axial forces and, as a result, severely nonlinear behavior. The mechanical properties of a shotcrete-steel composite also depend on the type of steel support. This study presents a fiber section element model considering the effect of axial force to evaluate the nonlinear behavior of a shotcrete-steel composite. Additionally, the model was used to analyze the effects of different types of steel supports on the load capacity. Furthermore, a modified hyperbolic model for ground reaction, including strain-softening, is proposed to account for the ground-lining interaction. The model was validated by comparing the numerical results with results from previous load test performed on arched shotcrete specimens. The changes in mechanical responses of the lining were also investigated. Results show a lining with doubly reinforcement rebar has similar load capacity as a lining with H-shaped supports. The use of more materials for the steel support enhances the residual resistance. For all types of steel reinforcement, the contribution of steel supports during peak load decreases as the ground becomes stiffer.
