This study illustrates the differences between the elasto-plastic cap model and Lade's model with Cosserat rotation through the analyses of two large-scale geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining wall tests that were brought to failure using a monotonically increasing surcharge pressure. The finite element analyses with Lade's model were able to reasonably simulate the large-scale plane strain laboratory tests. On average, the finite element analyses gave reasonably good agreement with the experimental results in terms of global performances and shear band occurrences. In contrast, the cap model was not able to simulate the development of shear banding in the tests. In both test simulations the cap model predicted failure loads that were substantially less than the measured ones.

성토지지말뚝으로 지지된 연약지반상 성토지반의 파괴형태를 조사하기 위하여 실내모형실험이 실시되었다. 성토지지말뚝은 성토하중의 지지효과를 증대시키기 위하여 줄말뚝의 형태로 설치하였으며 줄말뚝의 두부는 지중보 형태의 말뚝캡보로 서로 연결시켰다. 이 말뚝캡보는 성토지반의 장축방향에 직각이 되도록 연결시켰다. 사용모래로는 주문진 표준사를 사용하였으며 성토지반의 변형거동을 관찰하기 위하여 흑연가루로 채색한 모래층과 원래의 모래층을 서로 3mm두께로 번갈아 성토하여 줄무늬를 만들었다. 실험중 촬영한 사진분석으로 부터 성토지반의 파괴형태는 지반아칭파괴와 펀칭전단파괴의 두가지임을 알 수 있다. 성토지반내 어떤 파괴형태가 발생될 것인가는 성토고와 말뚝캡보 사이의 간격에 의존함을 알 수 있다. 즉 성토고가 말뚝캡보사이 간격에 비하여 충분히 높으면 지반아칭파괴가 발생되며 그 반대의 경우는 펀칭전단파괴가 발생된다. 지반아칭파괴는 말뚝캡보 폭과 같은 두께를 가지는 반원통형 아치형태로 성토지반내에 발생한다. 그리고, 말뚝캡보 위에는 쐐기영역이 발생하며 이 쐐기영역은 지반아칭파괴나 펀칭전단파괴가 발달하는 동안에도 변형되지 않은 상태로 남아있다. 펀칭전단파괴시 변형토괴의 경계형상도 실험중 촬영한 사진분석에 근거하여 밝혀질 수 있다.

연약지반속에 말뚝을 설치하고 성토를 실시할 경우 말뚝에 작용하는 연직하중을 산정할 수 있는 이론적 해석법을 개발하였다. 여기서 말뚝은 성토하중지지 효과를 증대시키기 위하여 일정간격의 줄말뚝 형태로 설치하며 각 줄말뚝의 두부는 지중보 형태의 말뚝캡보로 연결시킨 경우를 대상으로 한다. 이론식의 유도과정에서 성토지지말뚝으로 지지된 성토지반의 파괴발생 기구를 말뚝위 성토지반속의 파괴형태에 따라 지반아칭파괴와 펀칭전단파괴의 두 가지로 크게 구분하였다. 여기서 지반아칭은 말뚝캡보 사이의 간격이 좁거나 성토고가 충분히 높을 때 발생된다. 지반아칭파괴는 아치의 파괴부위에 따라 정상파괴와 캡파괴로 나누어 각 파괴형태의 안전성이 검토되었다. 또한, 제안식에 의한 성토지지말뚝의 하중분담효과는 말뚝캡보의 간격과 폭의 크기 및 지반정수에 크게 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있다. 즉, 말뚝캡보의 간격이 증가하면 말뚝의 하중분담효과는 감소하며 성토고, 말뚝캡보폭, 내부마찰각 및 점착력의 크기가 증가할수록 하중분담효과가 커지게 된다. 따라서 이러한 말뚝 및 지반에 관한 영향요소를 적절히 결정하면 성토지지말뚝의 성토하중분담 효과를 효과적으로 극대화시킬 수 있을 것이다.

줄말뚝이 설치된 지반에서 지반의 측방변형에 의한 지반아칭발생시 말뚝주변지반의 파괴는 지반아칭영역중 외부아 치의 정상부에서 정상파괴가 발생될 때부터 시작하여 말뚝전면의 패기부에서 캡파괴가 발생될 때까지 진행된다. 따라서, 측방변형지반속 줄말뚝에 작용하는 측방토압은 정상파괴와 캡파괴 모두의 경우를 검토할 필요가 있다. 정상파괴시의 측방토압 산정식은 원주공동확장이론을 적용하여 제안할 수 있다. 이 제안식을 검토한 결과 말뚝에 작용하는 측방토압은 주변지반의 내부마찰각, 점착력 및 수평토압과 말뚝직경 및 말뚝설치간격에 큰 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있다. 그리고, 캡파괴에 의한 측방토압과 정상파괴에 의한 측방토압의 이론식을 이용하여 줄말뚝에 작용하는 측방토압 범위를 정의할 수 있다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 캡파괴와 정상파괴시 측방토압의 이론치과 모형실험으로부터 구한 실험치를 비교 검토하였다. 모형실험에서 얻은 캡파괴와 정상파괴의 실험치는 제안된 각 이론의 이론치와 잘 일치하고 있으므로, 제안된 이론식의 합리성을 확인할 수 있다.

Introduction of prestressed concrete slabs based on post-tensioned (PT) method aids in constructing larger spans, more useful floor height, and reduces the total weight of the building. In the present paper, for the first time, simulation of 32 two-way PT slab-edge column connections is performed and verified by some existing experimental results which show good consistency. Finite element method is used to assess the performance of bonded and unbonded slab-column connections and the impact of different parameters on these connections. Parameters such as strand bonding conditions, presence or absence of a shear cap in the area of slab-column connection and the changes of concrete compressive strength are implied in the modeling. The results indicate that the addition of a shear cap increases the flexural capacity, further increases the shear strength and converts the failure mode of connections from shear rigidity to flexural ductility. Besides, the reduction of concrete compressive strength decreases the flexural capacity, further reduces the shear strength of connections and converts the failure mode of connections from flexural ductility to shear rigidity. Comparing the effect of high concrete compressive strengths versus the addition of a shear cap, shows that the latter increases the shear capacity more significantly.

A shape optimization of stiffener was conducted to increase buckling load or failure load with stiffened laminated composite panel of I-type under compression loading. Design variables are cap length, web length, and/or thickness under the constraint of volume constancy. The objective function is buckling load and failure load of post-buckling based on Tsai-Hill theory using ABAQUS 5.8 for analysis and Optimizer on Broydon-Fletcher Goldfarb-Sharno Method and Augmented Lagrange Multiplier Method. The effects of relative length of a web and a cap of stiffener on buckling load and failure load of post-buckling were investigated with the results of optimum design.

This research presents results of structural designs and evaluations for 3MW Wind Turbine Blade by FEM analysis. After the GFRP model was designed as a baseline model, failure check by Puck's failure criterion and buckling analysis were accomplished to verify safety of wind turbine blade in the critical design load case. Moreover, applicability of two kinds of carbon spar cap model, was studied by comparing total mass, price and tip deflection to the GFRP model. The results showed that the GFRP model had sufficient structural integrity in the critical design load case, and the carbon spar cap model could be a reasonable solution to reduce weights, tip deflections.

This paper presents a numerical study on structural behavior of hammer head pier cap beams, extended on verges and reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. A 3-D finite element (FE) model along with a simplified analytical model are presented. Concrete damage plasticity (CDP) was adapted in the FE model and an analytical approach predicting the CFRP anchor strength was adapted in both FE and analytical model. Total five quarter-scaled pier cap beams with various CFRP reinforcing schemes were experimentally tested and analyzed with numerical approaches. Comparison between experimental results, FE results, analytical results and current ACI guideline predictions was presented. The FE results showed good agreement with experimental results in terms of failure mode, ultimate capacity, load-displacement response and strain distribution. In addition, the proposed strut-and-tie based analytical model provides the most accurate prediction of ultimate strength of extended cap beams among the three numerical approaches.

Behavior of soil is usually described with continuum type of failure models such as Mohr-Coulomb or Drucker-Prager model. The main advantage of these models is in a relatively simple and efficient way of predicting the main tendencies and overall behavior of soil in failure analysis of interest for engineering practice. However, the main shortcoming of these models is that they are not able to capture post-peak behavior of soil nor the corresponding failure modes under extreme loading. In this paper we will significantly improve on this state-of-the-art. In particular, we propose the use of a discrete beam lattice model to provide a sharp prediction of inelastic response and failure mechanisms in coupled soil-foundation systems. In the discrete beam lattice model used in this paper, soil is meshed with one-dimensional Timoshenko beam finite elements with embedded strong discontinuities in axial and transverse direction capable of representing crack propagation in mode I and mode II. Mode I relates to crack opening, and mode II relates to crack sliding. To take into account material heterogeneities, we determine fracture limits for each Timoshenko beam with Gaussian random distribution. We compare the results obtained using the discrete beam lattice model against those obtained using the modified three-surface elasto-plastic cap model.

As a preliminary study for the three dimensional failure analysis of composite joints, the three dimensional stress analysis on a pin-loaded unidirectional-fabric hybrid composite joints are performed. The contact and frictions between composite plate and metal bush are considered in the finite element method by NASTRAN. Experiments are conducted to validate the accuracy and feasibility of the finite element technique for 25 specimens with 5 different geometries. The finite element and experimental results show the bush cap induces the unsymmetric deformation, stress distribution, and failure behavior through the thickness. The experiment also shows the failure loads are higher in the joint with bush cap than without it.
