The behaviour of steel frames is highly influenced by the beam-column connections. Traditionally, Steel frames were usually designed assuming that connections are ideally pinned or fully rigid. A semi-rigid connection, however, creates a balance between the two extreme approaches mentioned above. In this research, two full scales of Extended End Plate Connections (EEPCs) were tested. Mathematical and numerical models were used to analyse the connections, and close correlations were found between these models and the corresponding tested specimens, which confirmed the confidence in the experimental results. The experimental results obtained enrich the available test data about behaviour of EEPC. In addition, the purpose of studying EEPC experimentally is to compare the stiffness and moment-rotation curve of EEPCs with that of Cap Plate Connections (CPCs), which were tested in a previous work. CPCs have not been studied sufficiently in the literature. The results obtained show that the typical CPC reduces the connection stiffness and these results will make a valuable contribution to the available test data in the research area of CPC.

This study devised and drew custom sleeve patterns by using a regression equation with the data from 7 models along with the sleeve that was slightly modified to make the general-purpose sleeve pattern. To devise a general-purpose sleeve pattern, the sleeve pattern was drawn as an object for comparison by applying the Bunka drafting system (sleeve pattern by the Bunka drafting system) to the basic upper garment. Actual sleeves, made by using the three types of patterns above, were created and tested by models. Next, 30 panel members participated in a sight test of the compatibility of the sleeves to examine the validity of the sleeve drafting method acquired using the regression equation. The test proved that the custom sleeve pattern and the general-purpose sleeve pattern were more suitable for the characteristics of arm structures. Thus, the new sleeve-cap part drafting method using the regression equation was shown to have validity. As a result, since a very significant correlation was obtained for the body measurement figures and the basic pattern of the adequate basic pattern of the sleeves, this study concludes that it is possible to come up with primary data that can be widely used by increasing the number of subjects.

Thermospheric neutral winds and temperatures have been collected from the ground-based Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) at Thule Air Base ($76.5^{\circ}N{\;}69.0^{\circ}W$), Greenland since 1985. The thermospheric observations are obtained by determining the Doppler characteristics f the [OI] 6300 ${\AA}$ emissions of atomic oxygen. The FPI operates routinely during the winter season, with a limitation in the observation by the existence of clouds. For this study, data acquired from 1985 to 1991 were analyzed. The neutral wind measurements from these long-term measurements are used to investigate the influence of solar cycle variation on the high-latitude thermospheric dynamics. These data provide experimental results of the geomagnetic polar cap are also compared with the predictions of two semiempirical models : the vector spherical harmonics (VSH) model of Killeen et al. (1987) and the horizontal wind model (HWM) of Hedin et al. (1991). The experimental results show a good positive correlation between solar activity and thermospheric wind speed over the geomagnetic polar cap. The calculated correlation coefficient indicates that an increase of 100 in F10.7 index corresponds to an increase in wind speed of about 100 m/s. The model predictions reveal similar trends of wind speed variation as a function of solar activity, with the VSH and HWM models tending to overestimate and underestimate the wind speed, respectively.

탄소성 캡 모델의 중요한 장점은 여러 가지 다공체의 전체적인 축차 및 체적의 비선형 상호거동을 동시에 다룰 수 있음에 있다. 그러나 대부분의 캡 모델이 가진 문제점중의 하나는 세 개의 독립적인 항복면이 불연속으로 연결되어 있음으로부터 기인된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 항복면 사이의 연결점에서의 탄소성 접선 계수는 특이점이 되고 수치해석상 잠재적인 어려움을 내재하고 있음을 나타내고 이러한 문제의 해결방안의 하나로 세 개의 항복면이 연속적으로 만나는 새로운 탄소성 캡 모델을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서는 모델의 증분형태의 구성식 및 새로운 응력을 구하기 위한 활동 항복면의 결정을 판단하는 알고리즘이 제시되었다. 동반 논문에서는 내재적인 응력적분 및 일관적인 접선계수를 유도하였고 예제계산들을 수행하였다.

보편적인 탄소성 캡 모델은 전통적인 등방 이론에 기초를 두고 있다. 이러한 모델의 응력적분 및 접선 계수의 유도는 여러 가지 논문들에 나타나 있지만 축차 및 체적 거동을 동시에 다루는 내제적인 해석법을 통한 지반해석은 아직까지는 많은 도전이 요구되고 있다. 앞선 동반 논문에서는 비연속적으로 연결된 항복면 사이의 접선 계수는 특이점이 됨을 나타내었고 이에 대하여 새로운 캡 모델의 구성식이 제시되었다. 본 논문에서는 제시된 캡 모델의 비 조건적이고 안정된 내재적 응력적분 및 일관된 탄소성 접선계수를 유도하였다. 또한 간단한 예제를 통하여 모델의 수행능력을 보여주었고 사면안정계산이 수행되었다.

Reanalysis of the observations of Mars made at the Hida Observatory in 1975 with a new image processing method is reported. Red filter images taken in the period before vernal equinox (areocentric longitude of the sun Ls=$0^{\circ}$) revealed dark surface features at the northern high latitudes, while blue filter images taken at the same time showed the extensive polar hood. The latitude of the northernmost feature observed was about $67^{\circ}$N. An extensive north polar cap, which is predicted by most of the existing models and observed with Viking, did not exist in our reanalyzed images obtained at the Hida Observatory in 1975.

Deep pile caps usually contain no transverse shear reinforcement and only small percentages of longitudinal reinforcement. The current design procedures including ACI 318-02 for the pile caps do not provide engineers with a clear understanding of the physical behavior of deep pile caps. In this study, the failure strengths of nine pile cap specimens tested to failure were evaluated using 3-dimensional strut-tie models. The analysis results obtained from the present study were compared with those obtained from several design methods, and the validity of the present method implementing 3-dimensional strut-tie models was examined.

본 논문에서는 수치적 구성방정식인 연속 탄소성 캡 모델의 정수추정에 관한 방법이 제시되었다. 캡 모델을 이용하여 실제 토질의 거동을 예측하기 위하여서는 캡 모델을 이루는 토질의 물성과 직접적으로 연관된 여덟개의 정수가 결정되어야 한다. 이를 위하여 첫 번째로, Ottawa 모래를 사용하여 표준압밀시험기를 이용한 일축압축시험 및 배수삼축압측 시험이 토질거동의 실제기준값으로서 수행되었고, 두 번째로 탄소성 캡 수치해석모델의 반응을 실내실험값에 일치시키기 위하여 추정된 정수들을 사용한 수치실험이 수행되었다. 두 실험 간의 오차를 최소화하기 위하여 최적화 기법이 사용되었으며, 최적화 후 결정된 8개의 정수는 실내실험결과와 비교되었다. 특히, 수치적 삼축압축시험시 응력계산에 따른 수평변위 측정에 특별한 주의가 필요하다.

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.

The test results from non-destructive and destructive field testing of a three-span deteriorated reinforced concrete slab bridge are used as a vehicle to examine the reliability of available tools for finite-element analysis of in-situ structures. Issues related to geometric modeling of members and connections, material models, and failure criteria are discussed. The results indicate that current material models and failure criteria are adequate, although lack of inelastic out-of-plane shear response in most nonlinear shell elements is a major shortcoming that needs to be resolved. With proper geometric modeling, it is possible to adequately correlate the measured global, regional, and local responses at all limit states. However, modeling of less understood mechanisms, such as slab-abutment connections, may need to be finalized through a system identification technique. In absence of the experimental data necessary for this purpose, upper and lower bounds of only global responses can be computed reliably. The studies reaffirm that success of finite-element models has to be assessed collectively with reference to all responses and not just a few global measurements.
