In this paper, an improved four-node Reissner-Mindlin plate-bending element with enhanced assumed strain field is presented for the analysis of isotropic and laminated composite plates. To avoid the shear locking and spurious zero energy modes, the transverse shear behavior is improved by the addition of a new enhanced shear strain based on the incompatible displacement mode approach and bubble function. The "standard" enhanced strain fields (Andelfinger and Ramm, 1993) are also employed to improve the in-plane behaviors of the plate elements. The four-node quadrilateral element derived using the first-order shear deformation theory is designated as "14EASP". Several applications are investigated to assess the features and the performances of the proposed element. The results are compared with other finite element solutions and analytical solutions. Numerical examples show that the element is stable, invariant, passes the patch test, and yields good results especially in highly distorted regimes.

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 paper presents results of an experimental program for evaluating the mechanical properties of green strain-hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) using recycled material. Recycled poly ethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber, fly ash, and recycled sand from waste concrete are used as materials for green SHCC. Test results indicated that average tensile strength of five dumbbell-shaped specimen is 4.76MPa and average compressive and flexural strength of three specimens are 38MPa and 7.40MPa, respectively.

A strain rate-dependent element model was used to study the loading rate-sensitivity of R/C beams and columns with different design factors. Conclusions were derived regarding the differences between the element axial/flexural performance under impulsive and quasi-static loads. Practical design formalas for predicting the loading rate-dependent axial and flexural strengths of R/C elements were also suggested.

The recycled concrete, average compressive strength of which was 2l0kg/cm$^2$ or higher with slump range of 14~18cm, was prepared by replacing 25% and 50% by weight of coarse aggregate with recycled aggregate from waste concrete. Mix design method for crushed aggregates was used and all specimens were cured by normal moisture curing method. A plasticiser and a fly ash were added to the mix to improve performance of recycled concrete. Flexural strength, stress- strain relationship and fracture toughness were evaluated by comparing with those of normal concretes. Recycled concrete showed, in general, lower flexural strength and fracture toughness, and higher strain under the same stress level. Fly ash in the concrete had an effect of reducing the strength and fracture toughness on both normal and recycled concretes. Since fly ash is known to improve many properties of concrete, while reducing strength properties, decision for using fly ash should be made carefully depending on the intended usage of the recycled concrete.

최근 들어 구조물을 보강하는 방법으로 강판 또는 섬유쉬트를 외부에 부착시키는 공법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 섬유쉬트 중에서 가장 널리 사용되는 것은 탄소섬유쉬트이지만, 성능면에서 뒤지지 않고 가격면에서는 오히려 유리한 아라미드섬유쉬트에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 아라미드섬유쉬트로 휨보강한 RC보의 파괴양상 및 강도성능, 변형성능을조사하고, 여섯 개의 보강변수에 대한 보강효과를 조사하였다. 인장철근비, 보강길이, 보강겹수, 앵커볼트 정착 유무가 각각 다른 16개의 실험체와 밑면 마감처리 및 부재손상 여부가 다른 2개의 실험체, 그리고 이들 보강 실험체의 비교 근거가 되는 비보강 실험체 2개를 실험하여 그 특성을 연구하였다. 실험결과, 보강성능과 파괴양상에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수는 보강길이로 나타났다. 보강겹수도 어느 정도의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 그외 다른 변수들의 영향은 미비한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, experimental work has been carried out to investigate the effect of lateral soil movement on passive piles. This paper consists mainly of two parts: the first, performance of a series of laboratory experiments on a single pile and one-row pile groups, and the second, comparison between the measured and the predicted results. In the laboratory experiments, a quadrilateral soil movement profile was imposed on model piles embedded in both sandy soils and weathered soils. The maximum bending moment and pile deflection induced in passive piles were found to be highly dependent on pile stiffness, pile spacing, relative densities and pile head fixity condition. It was shown that the group effect might either increase or decrease the maximum bending moment and pile deflection, depending on the aforementioned influence factors. Based on the results obtained, a spacing-to-diameter ratio of 7.0 seems to be large enough to eliminate the group effect, and a pile in such a case behaves essentially the same as a single pile.

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.

The flexural behavior of HSB I-girder with a non-slender web attributed to inelastic lateral-torsional buckling under uniform bending was investigated using nonlinear finite element analysis of ABAQUS. The girder was assumed to have a compact or noncompact web in order to prevent premature bend-buckling of the web. The unbraced length of the girder was selected so that inelastic lateral-torsional buckling governs the ultimate flexural strength. The compression flange was also assumed to be either compact or noncompact to prevent local buckling of the elastic flange. Both homogeneous sections fabricated from HSB600 or HSB800 steel and hybrid sections with HSB800 flanges and SM570-TMC web were considered. In the FE analysis, the flanges and web of I-girder were modeled as thin shell elements. Initial imperfections and residual stresses were imposed on the FE model. An elasto-plastic strain hardening material was assumed for steel. After establishing the validity of the present FE analysis by comparing FE results with test results in existing literature, the effects of initial imperfection and residual stress on the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling behavior were analyzed. Finite element analysis results for 96 sections demonstrated that the current inelastic strength equations for the compression flange in AASHTO LTFD can be applied to predict the inelastic lateral torsional buckling strength of homogeneous and hybrid HSB I-girders with a non-slender web.

This study investigated the tension-field action induced strip angle changes and deformed mode shapes of SPSW for high-rise structures subjected to lateral forces. Based on the numerical analysis 3, 9, 14 and 20 story structures, shear and flexural modes were identified by comparing the numerical analysis results to the predicted strength by theory. Shear deformation mode exhibited a constant angle in tension-field; whereas, flexural mode of the numerical results, differed from the tension-field action theory.
