본 연구의 목적은 H-Pile과 벽체가 합성하여 거동하는 합성 지하벽의 내력 및 구조적 거동을 해석적으로 파악하고 구조성능을 평가하여 다양한 형태의 응력조건에 대한 거동예측 방법을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 유한요소 범용 프로그램인 ATENA를 이용하여 H-Pile, 콘크리트 벽체, 스터드볼트 연결부 등에 대한 모델링방법을 설정하고 기 실험된 합성지하벽 실험체들에 대한 비선형 해석을 실시하였다. H-Pile과 콘크리트 벽체를 연결하는 스터드볼트에 의해 전달되는 전단 및 축응력을 접촉면 요소로 모델링하여 비선형 해석을 실시한 결과, 비록 초기강성은 해석결과가 다소 높게 나타났지만, 실험결과와 해석결과가 좋은 대응을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, a finite element model (FEM) in ATENA-3D software was constructed to investigate the behavior of circular ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) filled steel tube stub columns (UHPC-FSTCs) under concentric loading on concrete core. The "CC3DNonLinCementitious2User" material type for concrete in ATENA-3D software with some modifications of material laws, was adopted to model for UHPC core with consideration the confinement effect. The experimental results obtained from Schneider (2006) were then employed to verify the accuracy of FEM. Extensive parametric analysis was also conducted to examine the influence of concrete compressive strength, steel tube thickness and steel yield strength on the compressive behavior of short circular UHPC-FSTCs. It can be observed that the columns with thicker steel tube show better strength and ductility, the sudden drop of load after initial peak load can be prevented. Based on the regression analysis of the results from parametric study, simplified formulae for predicting ultimate loads and strains were proposed and verified by comparing with previous analytical models, design codes and experimental results.

In this article, the performance of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) flat slabs was investigated numerically. The influence of flexural steel reinforcement, steel fiber content, concrete compressive strength, and slab thickness were discussed. The numerical model was developed using ATENA-Gid, user-friendly software for non-linear structural analysis for the evaluation and design of reinforced concrete elements. The numerical model was calibrated based on eight experimental tests selected from the literature to validate the actual behavior of steel fiber in the numerical analysis. Then, a parametric study of 144 specimens was generated and discussed the impact of various parameters on the punching shear strength, and statistical analysis was carried out. The results showed that slab thickness, steel fiber content, and concrete compressive strength positively affect the punching shear capacity. The fib Model Code 2010 for specimens without steel fibers and the model of Muttoni and Ruiz for SFRC specimens presented a good agreement with the results of this study.

The presence of infill generally neglected in design despite the fact that infill contribution significantly increase the lateral stiffness and strength of the reinforced concrete frame structure. Several experimental studies and computational models have been proposed to capture the rational response of infill-frame interaction at global level. However, limited studies are available on explicit finite element modelling to study the local behavior due to high computation and convergence issues in numerical modelling. In the current study, the computational modelling of RC frames is done with various configurations of infill masonry in terms of types of blocks, lateral loading and reinforcement detailing employed with material nonlinearities, interface contact issues and bond-slip phenomenon particularly near the beam-column joints. To this end, extensive computational modelling of five variant characteristics test specimens extracted from the detailed experimental program available in literature and process through nonlinear static analysis in FEM code, ATENA generally used to capture the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. Results are presented in terms of damage patterns and capacity curves by employing the finest possible detail provided in the experimental program. Comparative analysis shows that good correlation amongst the experimental and numerical simulated results both in terms of capacity and crack patterns.

횡방향 철근이 없는 RC와 PSC 보에서 축방향 인장력은 전단강도를 감소시키고, 축압축력은 전단저항력을 증가시킨다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 그러나 축력이 전단에 얼마만큼 영향을 미치고, 전단 저항성능에 어떠한 영향을 주는가에 대한 이해가 부족한 현실이다. 횡방향 보강철근이 없는 부재가 큰 압축력과 전단력을 받으면 첫 번째 경사균열이 일어나면서 그대로 취성파괴가 발생하기 때문에 상당히 보수적 관점을 유지하고 있다. 이런 배경에서 ACI의 복부전단강도는 경사균열각 ${\theta}$를 $45^{\circ}$로 하는 트러스모델을 사용하여 스터럽의 수직력과 축력효과를 반영하고 있다. 본 연구는 파괴역학을 근간으로 한 비선형 유한요소해석 프로그램 ATENA-2D (Cervenka, 2000)를 사용하여 철근콘크리트 보의 축력작용에 따른 검증을 수행한 것이다.

암석의 파괴인성은 발파, 굴착 등으로 인한 균열의 개시와 전파를 나타낼 수 있는 상수이다. 터널의 거동, 석회석 광산의 안정성 평가 등에 축소모형실험이 다양하게 적용되고 있다. 축소모형을 통해 발파로 인한 손상영역평가도 이뤄지고 있는데, 파괴 관련 인자에 대한 축소율 적용은 이뤄지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 DCT(diametral compression test) 값과 유한요소법인 ATENA2D 수치해석 결과를 비교하여 암석의 파괴인성에 축소율을 적용할 수 있는지 확인하였다. 암석의 파괴인성에 이론적으로 계산된 축소율을 적용한 값과 DCT 시험결과 및 수치해석 결과가 각각 0.21~0.46, 0.40, 0.99MPa ${\sqrt{m}}$ 로 편차가 있으므로 암석의 파괴인성에 축소율을 적용 시에는 이 세 가지 값을 고려하여 적합한 축소율을 도출해야 하고, 축소모형 제작 시 축소율 적용 대상이 되는 길이, 시간, 질량과 함께 이로부터 산출되는 일축압축강도, 밀도 등의 주요 설계인자들의 축소율이 적용된 값을 함께 검토해야 할 것이다.

A nonlinear finite element model (FEM) using ATENA-3D software to simulate the axially compressive behavior of circular steel tube confined concrete (CSTCC) columns infilled with ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) was presented in this paper. Some modifications to the material type "CC3DNonlinCementitious2User" of UHPC without and with the incorporation of steel fibers (UHPFRC) in compression and tension were adopted in FEM. The predictions of utimate strength and axial load versus axial strain curves obtained from FEM were in a good agreement with the test results of eighteen tested columns. Based on the results of FEM, the load distribution on the steel tube and the concrete core was derived for each modeled column. Furthermore, the effect of bonding between the steel tube and the concrete core was clarified by the change of friction coefficient in the material type "CC3DInterface" in FEM. The numerical results revealed that the increase in the friction coefficient leads to a greater contribution from the steel tube, a decrease in the ultimate load and an increase in the magnitude of the loss of load capacity. By comparing the results of FEM with experimental results, the appropriate friction coefficient between the steel tube and the concrete core was defined as 0.3 to 0.6. In addition to the numerical evaluation, eighteen analytical models for confined concrete in the literature were used to predict the peak confined strength to assess their suitability. To cope with CSTCC stub and intermediate columns, the equations for estimating the lateral confining stress and the equations for considering the slenderness in the selected models were proposed. It was found that all selected models except for EC2 (2004) gave a very good prediction. Among them, the model of Bing et al. (2001) was the best predictor.

In this paper, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is applied for modeling and simulation of DC characteristic of cylindrical Silicon Nanowire Transistor (SNWT). Device Geometry parameters, terminal voltages, temperature and output current were selected as the main factors of modeling. The results obtained are compared with numerical method and a good match has been observed between them, which represent accuracy of model. Finally, we imported the ANFIS model as a voltage controlled current source in a circuit simulator like HSPICE and simulated a SNWT inverter and common-source amplifier by this model.

In this study, a new sustainable material was proposed to prepare precast tunnel lining segments (TLS), which were produced using a fiber-reinforced slag-based geopolymer composite. Slag was used as the geopolymer binder. In addition, polypropylene and carbon fibers were added to reinforce TLSs. TLSs were examined in terms of flexural performance, load-deflection response, ductility, toughness, crack characteristics, and tunnel boring machine (TBM) thrust force. Simultaneously, numerical simulation was performed using finite element analysis. The mechanical characteristics of the geopolymer composite with a fiber content of 1% were used. The results demonstrated that the flexural performance and load-deflection response of the precast TLSs were satisfactory. Furthermore, the numerical results were capable of predicting and realistically capturing the structural behavior of precast TLSs. Therefore, fiber-reinforced slag-based geopolymer composites can be applied as precast TLSs.

This pioneer study focuses on finite element modeling and numerical modeling of three types of Reinforced Concrete Haunched Beams (RCHBs). Firstly, twenty RCHBs, consisting of three types, and four prismatic beams which had been tested experimentally were modeled via a nonlinear finite element method (NFEM) based software named as, ATENA. The modeling results were compared with experimental results including load capacity, deflection, crack pattern and mode of failure. The comparison showed a good agreement between the results and thus the model used can be effectively used for further studies of RCHB with high accuracy. Afterwards, new mechanism modes and design code equations were proposed to improve the shear design equation of ACI-318 and to predict the critical effective depth. These equations are the first comprehensive formulas in the literature involving all types of RCHBs. The statistical analysis showed the superiority of the proposed equation to their predecessors where the correlation coefficient, $R^2$ was found to be 0.89 for the proposed equation. Moreover, the new equation was validated using parametric and reliability analyses. The parametric analysis of both experimental and predicted results shows that the inclination angle and the compressive strength were the most influential parameters on the shear strength. The reliability analysis indicates that the accuracy of the new formulation is significantly higher as compared to available design equations and its reliability index is within acceptable limits.
