Many experimental studies have evaluated the in-plane behavior of reinforced concrete frames in order to understand mechanisms that resist progressive collapse. The effects of transverse beams, frames and slabs often are neglected due to their probable complexities. In the present study, an experimental and numerical assessment is performed to investigate the effects of transverse beams on the collapse behavior of reinforced concrete frames. Tests were undertaken on a 3/10-scale reinforced concrete sub-assemblage, consisting of a double-span beam and two end columns within the frame plane connected to a transverse frame at the middle joint. The specimen was placed under a monotonic vertical load to simulate the progressive collapse of the frame. Alternative load paths, mechanism of formation and development of cracks and major resistance mechanisms were compared with a two-dimensional scaled specimen without a transverse beam. The results demonstrate a general enhancement in resistance mechanisms with a considerable emphasis on the flexural capacity of the transverse beam. Additionally, the role of the transverse beam in restraining the rotation of the middle joint was evident, which in turn leads to more ductile behavior. A macro-model was also developed to further investigate progressive collapse in three dimensions. Along with the validated numerical model, a parametric study was undertaken to investigate the effects of the removed column location and beam section details on the progressive collapse behavior.

연쇄붕괴는 충격이나 폭발 등의 비정상 하중에 의하여 구조물의 하중 전달요소가 제거됨으로써 구조물의 일부 또는 전체가 연쇄적으로 붕괴되는 형상을 말한다. 예상외의 하중이 기둥부재에 작용할 경우, 좌굴이 발생하며 내력저하가 급격히 진행되어 붕괴에까지 이르게 된다. 하지만 좌굴 후 에너지를 흡수할 수 있는 잔존내력이 충분하면 붕괴를 막을 수 있다. 따라서, 구조물이 최종 붕괴상태에 도달되는 전 과정에 대한 기둥부재의 하중-변형관계를 명확히 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 비선형유한요소해석을 실시하여 H 형 강재기둥의 단부 구속조건이 고정일 경우 잔존내력의 변화추이를 파악하였다. 또한, 처짐이론을 기반으로 이론식을 도출하여 해석값과의 적합성을 검토하였다.

이 논문에서는 철근콘크리트 건물의 폭발하중에 의한 연쇄붕괴 해석을 위한 적합한 침식 기준값을 제안하였다. 침식은 기본적으로 대변형에 의한 오류나 해석의 갑작스러운 종료 등의 문제를 극복하기 위한 수치해석 기법이며 선행연구에서 폭발해석에서의 적합한 침식기준 값을 제안했었다. 하지만 콘크리트는 변형률 속도에 따라 다른 스트레스-스트레인 곡선을 갖는다. 따라서 실험 결과와 수치해석 결과를 비교함으로써 실제와 같은 연쇄붕괴 시뮬레이션에 적합한 침식기준 값을 제안하였다. 최종적으로 실제 붕괴가 일어났던 오클라호마 연방정부 건물을 두 결과 값의 중간 값을 적용하여 유사 해석을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 해석 결과는 실제 붕괴를 잘 묘사하고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of circumferential location of local wall thinning defect on the collapse behavior of an elbow. Thus, the present study conducts three-dimensional finite element analysis on the 90-degree elbow containing a local wall thinning at intrados, crown and extrados of bend region and evaluates the collapse moment of wall thinned elbow under various thinning shapes and loading conditions. Combined internal pressure and bending moment are considered as an applied load. The internal pressure of $0\~20MPa$ and both closing and opening mode bending are employed. The results of analysis show that the reduction in collapse moment of the elbow by local wall thinning is more significant for a defect locating at crown than for a defect locating at intrados or at extrados. Also, the effect of internal pressure on the collapse moment of wall thinned elbow depends on the circumferential location of thinning defect and applied bending mode.

One of the most important issues in progressive collapse mechanism of the buildings is evaluation of the collapse distribution in presence of the earthquake loads. Here, collapse propagation is investigated by tracking down the location and type of the collapsed beam and column elements, from the first element to the entire buildings. 6-story reinforced concrete ordinary moment resisting frame buildings with one directional mass eccentricity of 0%, 5%, 15% and 25% are studied to investigate differences among the progressive collapse mechanism of the regular and irregular buildings. According to the results of the nonlinear time history analyses, there are some patterns to predict progressive collapse scenarios in beam and column elements of the similar regular and irregular buildings. Results also show that collapse distribution patterns are approximately independent of the earthquake records.

In order to prevent voltage collapse. this paper introduces the idea of the intelligent system and operating polices for a power system, then presents the results of voltage stability studies for that power system. The intelligent system includes a dedicated computer doing calculation and evaluation jobs and several intelligent relays serving as last guards to carry out the pre-set remedies. In the intelligent system, P-V curves are used to determine the operating margin from the current operating point to the maximum operating point, or the nose point. This paper suggests an operating guide for voltage stability of a power system. The effectiveness of location ad amount of load shedding for the different power load models are studied.

The simulation of reactive power compensation in 5-bus and 25-bus system was conducted using transmission-line loss system identification method. Sensitivities of maximum load-power with respect to reactive power compensation was identified by the simulation. With sufficient reactive power compensation at the first voltage-collapsing load-bus, the first voltage collapse could be prevented until the next voltage-collapsing load-bus lost its voltage stability. And the total compensated reactive power at the first voltage-collapsing bus means reactive power margin of voltage collapse or distance to voltage collapse. This quantity can be useful for determining the size of compensating devices or the site to compensate.

More diversified and strengthened safety regulations require higher safety vehicle with less weight. The structural foam can play a role for restraining section distortion of main body members undergoing bending collapse at vehicle crash. In this study, using structural foam modeling technology, validated in previous work, the bending collapse characteristics were evaluated for two types of circular and actual vehicle body frame sections. With changing the foam filling method, outer panel thickness and section shape, load carrying capability and absorbed energy were observed. The results indicate valuable design strategy for effectively elevating bending collapse performance of body members with foam filled.

In this study the progressive collapse resisting capacities of tall diagrid buildings were evaluated based on arbitrary column removal scenario, and the seismic load-resisting capacities were investigated through fragility analysis and ATC 63 procedure. As analysis model structures both regular and twisted diagrid structures were designed and their load-resisting capacities were compared by nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. The analysis results showed that the progressive collapse potential of twisted buildings decreased as the twisting angle increased, but the seismic fragility or the probability of failure decreased as the twisting angle increased.

Design capability for high safety vehicle with light weight is crucial to enhancing competitive power in vehicle market. The structural foam can contribute to restraining section distortion in body members undergoing bending collapse at vehicle crash. In this study, first, the validation of analysis model including structural foam model for simulating fracture behavior was discussed, and the bending collapse characteristics of five representative section types were analyzed and compared. Next, with changing the laminate foam shape, load carrying capability and absorbed energy were observed. The results suggests a design strategy of body members filled with laminate foam, leading to effectively elevating bending collapse characteristics with weight increase in the minimum.
