점탄성감쇠기가 장치된 건물은 감쇠력과 강성이 증가하며 부가되는 감쇠력에 의하여 비고전적 감쇠시스템이 된다. 이러한 경우 비감쇠시스템에서 구한 고유값을 이용하여 감쇠행렬을 대각행렬로 변환할 수 없으므로 일반적으로 운동방정식을 2n크기 행렬의 1차 미분방정식 형태로 변환하여 해석하게 된다. 이러한 방법은 일반적인 고전적 감쇠시스템에 비해 복잡하므로 감쇠행렬의 비대각항을 무시하고 해석하는 방법이 이용되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 근사적인 방법의 타당성과 이론적 근거를 검증하고 정해와 근사해법을 이용하여 3층 전단건물의 진동특성을 구하여 비교하였다. 결과에 따르면 부가되는 감쇠력이 작을 때는 근사해와 정해가 매우 근접하나 감쇠력이 커질수록 그 오차가 커지는 것으로 나타났다.

두개의 케이블요소를 이용한 3차원 케이블망의 정적 비선형 유한요소해석기법을 제시한다. 먼저, 공간 트러스요소와 탄성현수선 케이블요소(elastic catenary cable element)의 접선강도행렬과 질량행렬을 유도하는 과정을 간략히 요약한다. 지점 변위를 일으키고 자중을 받는 케이블망의 초기평형 상태를 결정하기 위하여, Newton-Raphson 반복법에 근거한 하중증분법과 현수케이블요소를 적용하는 경우에 viscous damping을 고려한 dynamic relaxation법을 제시한다. 또한 초기의 정적평형상태를 기준으로 추가하중에 대한 케이블망의 정적 비선형해석을 수행한다. 지점변위와 외력을 받는 케이블 구조에 대하여 비선형해석을 수행하고, 해석결과들을 기존의 문헌의 결과와 비교, 검토하므로써 본 논문에서 제시한 이론 및 해석방법의 타당성을 입증한다.

In general, brackets found at tank boundary are design according to the Classification Society Rule. Since much man power is needed in manufacturing the brackets stiffened by flange, it is necessary to suggest alternative designs, of which flanges are removed, through the rigorous structural analysis. In this paper non-linear structural analysis for brackets with and/or without flange have been carried out to examine their structural behavior and ultimate strengths. Alternative designs for brackets are suggested based on the results of ultimate strength analysis so that the alternative brackets have the similar level of strength and stiffness to the original brackets. It has been seen that the structural safety of alternative brackets proposed in this paper are beyond the appropriate level. The primary benefit of replacing the original brackets by the alternatives is the reduction of man power in manufacturing brackets and 10 to 15% weight saving can be expected in additional. This paper ends with some comments about the extension of the present study.

Post-earthquake observations revealed that seismic performance of beam-column connections in precast concrete structures affect the overall response extensively. Seismic design of precast reinforced concrete structures requires improved beam-column connections to transfer reversed load effects between structural elements. In Turkey, hybrid beam-column connections with welded components have been applied extensively in precast concrete industry for decades. Beam bottom longitudinal rebars are welded to beam end plates while top longitudinal rebars are placed to designated gaps in joint panels before casting of topping concrete in this type of connections. The paper presents the major findings of an experimental test programme including one monolithic and five precast hybrid half scale specimens representing interior beam-column connections of a moment frame of high ductility level. The required welding area between beam bottom longitudinal rebars and beam-end plates were calculated based on welding coefficients considered as a test parameter. It is observed that the maximum strain developed in the beam bottom flexural reinforcement plays an important role in the overall behavior of the connections. Two additional specimens which include unbonded lengths on the longitudinal rebars to reduce that strain demands were also tested. Strength, stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics of test specimens were investigated with respect to test variables. Seismic performances of test specimens were evaluated by obtaining damage indices.

지진이나 바람과 같은 횡방향 하중이 가해졌을 때, 일반적으로 수직한 축에 대해서만 대칭인 단명을 갖는 교량의 주형은 횡방향 휨과 비틀림이 결합된 거동을 하게되어 특히 사장교의 케이블등에는 예상치 못했던 추가응력이 유발될 수 있다. 이러한 거동은 일반적인 뼈대요소로는 해석할 수 없으므로, 본 연구에서는 가상일의 원리와 운동에너지로 부터 임의의 단면형상을 갖는 기하학적 비선형 3차원 뼈대요소의 강도매트릭스와 질량매트릭스를 유도하여 주형을 모델링하고, 케이블요소는 Ernst가 제안한 등가탄성계수를 사용한다. 그리고 해석예를 통하여 이론의 타당성을 검증한 후, 3차원 사장교 모델의 고유진동해석을 수행하여 주형의 휨-비틀림 결합작용을 연구한다.

Although being one of the most popular strengthening techniques in reinforced concrete beams, the use of steel plates bonded to the soffit raises problems of ductility. This study aims at investigating the influence of the use of perforated steel plates instead of solid steel plates on the ductility of reinforced concrete beams. A total of nine reinforced concrete beams were tested. In addition to an unplated beam, eight beams with perforated steel plates of two different thicknesses (3 mm and 6 mm) were subjected to monotonic loading. Effect of bonding the plates to the beams with anchor bolts and with additional side plates bonded to the sides of the beam with and without anchors is also investigated. The use of bolts in addition to epoxy was found to greatly contribute to the ductility and energy absorption capacity of the beams, particularly in specimens with thick plates (6 mm) and the use side plates in addition to the bottom plate was found to be ineffective in increasing the ductility of a concrete beam unless the side plates are attached to the beam with anchors bolts. The thickness of the plate was found to have little effect on the bending rigidity of the beam.

A reinforced concrete (RC) framed structure detailed according to non-seismic detailing provisions as per Indian Standard was tested on shake table under dynamic loads. The structure had 3 main storeys and an additional storey to simulate the footing to plinth level. In plan the structure was symmetric with 2 bays in each direction. In order to optimize the information obtained from the tests, tests were planned in three different stages. In the first stage, tests were done with masonry infill panels in one direction to obtain information on the stiffness increase due to addition of infill panels. In second stage, the infills were removed and tests were conducted on the structure without and with tuned liquid dampers (TLD) on the roof of the structure to investigate the effect of TLD on seismic response of the structure. In the third stage, tests were conducted on bare frame structure under biaxial time histories with gradually increasing peak ground acceleration (PGA) till failure. The simulated earthquakes represented low, moderate and severe seismic ground motions. The effects of masonry infill panels on dynamic characteristics of the structure, effectiveness of TLD in reducing the seismic response of structure and the failure patterns of non-seismically detailed structures, are clearly brought out. Details of design and similitude are also discussed.

The methods of design available for geocell-supported embankments are very few. Two of the earlier methods are considered in this paper and a third method is proposed and compared with them. In the first method called slip line method, plastic bearing failure of the soil was assumed and the additional resistance due to geocell layer is calculated using a non-symmetric slip line field in the soft foundation soil. In the second method based on slope stability analysis, general-purpose slope stability program was used to design the geocell mattress of required strength for embankment. In the third method proposed in this paper, geocell reinforcement is designed based on the plane strain finite element analysis of embankments. The geocell layer is modelled as an equivalent composite layer with modified strength and stiffness values. The strength and dimensions of geocell layer is estimated for the required bearing capacity or permissible deformations. These three design methods are compared through a design example. It is observed that the design method based on finite element simulations is most comprehensive because it addresses the issue of permissible deformations and also gives complete stress, deformation and strain behaviour of the embankment under given loading conditions.

Seismic behavior of new composite structural system with a fabricated floor was studied. A two-bay and three-story structural model with the scale ratio of 1/4 was consequently designed. Based on the proposed model, multiple factors including energy dissipation capacity, stiffness degradation and deformation performance were analyzed through equivalent single degree of freedom pseudo-dynamic test with different earthquake levels. The results show that, structural integrity as well as the effective transmission of the horizontal force can be ensured by additional X bracing at the bottom of the rigidity of the floor without concrete topping. It is proved that the cast-in-place floor in areas with high seismic intensity can be replaced by the prefabricated floor without pouring surface layer. The results provide a reliable theoretical basis for the seismic design of the similar structural systems in engineering application.
