Large-scale cantilever reinforced concrete (RC) columns with footing/stub were examined to determine their seismic response under a quasi-static increasing-magnitude cyclic lateral loading. Three-dimensional (3D) numerical models of RC columns with ductile and non-ductile reinforcement arrangements were developed in a Finite Element (FE) software, i.e., ABAQUS, to corroborate them with the experimental study conducted by the author. Both simulated models were validated with the experimental results in all respects, and the theoretical axial capacity of columns under concentric axial load (P₀) was calculated. Subsequently, a detailed parametric study was conducted by adopting the force and reinforcement variables. These variables include axial compression ratios (ACR) varying from 0.35P₀ to 0.7P₀ and the amount of lateral reinforcements taken as 0.33% and 1.31% representing the non-ductile and ductile columns, respectively. This research outcome conclusively quantifies the combined effect of ACR levels and lateral reinforcement spacing on the flexural response and ductility characteristics of RC columns. The comparative analysis reveals that increased ACR levels resulted in a severe reduction in strength, deformability and ductility characteristics of both ductile and non-ductile columns. Structural response of ductile columns at higher ACR levels was comparable to the non-ductile columns, nullifying the beneficial effects of ductile design provisions. Higher ACR levels caused decline in pre-peak and post-peak response trajectories, leading to an earlier attainment of peak response at lower drift levels.

Hollow reinforced concrete columns confined with GFRP tubes (GRCH) are composite members composed of the outer GFRP tube, the PVC or other plastic tube as the inner tube, and the reinforced concrete between two tubes. Because of their high ductility, light weight, corrosion resistance and convenient construction, many researchers pay attention to the composite members. However, there are few studies on GRCH members under eccentric compression compared with those under axial compression. Eight hollow columns were tested under eccentric compression, including one axial compression column and seven eccentric compression columns. The failure modes and force mechanisms of GRCH members were analyzed, considering the varying in hollow ratio, reinforcement ratio and eccentricity. The test results showed that configuring steel bars can greatly increase the bearing capacity and ductility of the members. Each component (GFRP tube, concrete, steel bar) had good deformation coordination and the strength of each material could be fully utilized. But for specimens with larger eccentricity ratio (e_r=0.4) and larger hollow ratio (χ=0.55), the restraining effect of GFRP tube on concrete was significantly decreased.

In this study, it is numerically revealed that the secondary flow due to the Coriolls force in a straight duct rotating about an axis perpendicular to that of the duct is analogous to that caused by the centrifugal force in a stationary curved duct. Dimensionless parameters $K_{LR}=Re/\sqrt{Ro}$ and Rossby number in a rotating straight duct were used as a set corresponding to Dean number and curvature ratio in a stationary curved duct. When the value of Rossby number and curvature ratio is large, it is shown that the flow field satisfies the `asymptotic invariance property`, that is, there are strong quantitative similarities between the two flows such as friction factors, flow patterns, and maximum axial velocity magnitudes for the same values of $K_{LR}$ and Dean number.

The present study showed that a quantitative analogy of the fully developed laminar flows inorthogonally rotating rectangular ducts and stationary curved rectangular ducts of arbitrary aspect ratio could be established. In order to clarify the similarity of the two flows, the dimensionless parameters $K_{LR}$ =Re/√Ro and Rossby number Ro= $w_{m}$/$\Omega$d in a rotating strait duct were used as a set corresponding to Dean number $K_{LC}$ =Re/√λand curvature ratio λ=R/d in a stationary curved duct. Under the condition that the value of Rossby number and curvature ratio was large enough, the flow field satisfied the ‘asymptotic invariance property’: there were strong quantitative similarities between the two flows such as friction factors, flow patterns, and maximum axial velocity magnitudes for the same values of $K_{LR}$ and $K_{LC}$ .

본 연구에서는 스테인리스 강관의 구조재로서 적용성 검토를 위해 편심 축하중을 받는 스테인리스 원형강관 보-기둥에 대한 좌굴강 도와 거동을 파악하고자 한다. 주요변수는 축력과 양단 비대칭 모멘트를 받는 이중곡률 보-기둥에 세장비(細長比)와 편심비(e/k)로 한 스테인리 스 원형강관의 최대내력 및 변형능력 등의 역학적 특성을 규명하며, 이론해석을 통한 실험값과 비교함으로서 스테인리스 강관 구조설계을 위한 기초 자료를 구하는데 그 목적이 있다. 실험결과를 해석결과와 비교해본 결과, 세장비 70의 편심비가 0인 시험체만이 낮고, 그 외 모든 시험체는 해석을 통한 M-P 상관곡선을 상회하는 결과를 보이나, 편심비가 작을수록 해석값에 근접하고 있어, 이론해석에서 적용한 세장비를 고려한 좌굴계수나 강도저감계수가 스테인리스 원형강관에 대해서는 별도의 값이 적용될 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되며, 더 많은 실험에 의해 확증되어야 할 것이다.

앵커의 활동억지효과를 조사하기 위하여 일련의 모형실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 앵커가 설치된 사면에 대한 모형실험 장치를 고안하였다. 그리고 모형실험시 각종 계측시스템을 이용하여 사면활동에 따른 앵커의 축력변화를 조사하였다. 모형실험결과 앵커의 면적비를 0.5%로 설치할 경우 네일의 사면활동에 대한 억지효과가 가장 크게 발휘된다. 앵커축력의 초기손실율은 초기인장력의 약 24%로 나타났다. 이는 기존의 현장실험결과(윤중만, 1997)에서 제안된 10%~25%의 범위와 일치함을 알 수 있다. 그리고 앵커의 유효인장력은 초기인장력의 70%에 해당하므로, 앵커의 초기인장력은 설계인장력보다 30%정도 증가하여 설계하여야 할 것이다. 한편, 앵커의 초기인장력이 증가하게 되면 사면지반의 상대밀도가 증가되어 사면은 취성파괴의 거동을 보임을 알 수 있다.

Earthquake resistant R/C frame structures are generally designed to prevent the columns from plastic hinging. R/C columns under higher axial load or strong earthquake showed a brittle behavior due to the deterioration of strength and stiffness degradation. An experimental study was conducted to examine the behavior and to find the relationship between amounts of lateral reinforcements and compressive strength of ten R/C column specimens subjected to reversed cyclic lateral load and higher axial load. Test results are follows : An increase in the amount of lateral reinforcement results in a significant improvement in both ductility and energy dissipation capacities of columns. R/C columns with sub-tie provide the improved ductility capacity than those with closely spaced lateral reinforcement only. While the load resisting capacity of the high strength R/C columns is higher than the normal strength concrete columns under both an identical ratio of lateral reinforcement, however the ductility capacity of high strength R/C columns is decreased considerably. Therefore, the amounts of lateral reinforcement must be designed carefully to secure the sufficient ductility and economic design of HSC columns under higher axial load.

Various methods have been discussed to reduce detent force in a tubular permanent magnet type linear single phase AC generator. In particular, the proposed methods depend on variations of the permanent magnet construction. These methods include two approaches in the form of sloped magnets, and conical magnets in addition to the conventional method of optimizing the magnet length. The undesired detent force ripples were calculated by a two dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM). Moreover, the generated electromotive force in the stator coils was calculated for each configuration of the permanent magnet. The experimental results agreed well with those obtained from the FEM-based simulations. Sufficient reduction in the detent force was achieved over the range of 40% while the root mean square of the output voltage was maintained. It was found that sloping the permanent magnet decreased the detent force and at the same time increased the generated rms voltage of the AC generator. The performance of the designed linear AC generator was evaluated in terms of its efficiency, total weight, losses, and power to weight ratio.

This paper presents a tri-linear restoring force model based on the test results of 12 circular RC columns strengthened by CFRP strips under low cyclic loading. The pre-stress of CFRP strips and axial load ratio of specimens are considered as the affect parameters of the proposed model. All essential characteristics of the hysteretic behavior of the proposed model, including the hysteretic rules, main performance points, strength degradation, stiffness degradation and confinement effects are explicitly analyzed. The calculated results from the proposed model are in good agreement with the experimental results, which shows that the recommended model can be reliably used for seismic behavior predictions of circular RC columns strengthened by pre-stressed CFRP strips.
