The present paper investigates the collapse pressure of cylinders with intermediate thickness subjected to external pressure based on detailed elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analyses. The effect of the initial ovality of the tube on the collapse pressure was explicitly considered in the FE analyses. Based on the present FE results, the analytical yield locus, considering the interaction between the plastic collapse and local instability due to initial ovality, was also proposed. The collapse pressure values based on the proposed yield locus agree well with the present FE results; thus, the validity of the proposed yield locus for the thickness range of interest was verified. Moreover, the partial safety factor concept based on the structural reliability theory was also applied to the proposed collapse pressure estimation model, and, thus, the priority of importance of respective parameter constituting for the collapse of cylinders under external pressure was estimated in this study. From the application of the partial safety factor concept, the yield strength was concluded to be the most sensitive, and the initial ovality of tube was not so effective in the proposed collapse pressure estimation model. The present deterministic and probabilistic results are expected to be utilized in the design and maintenance of cylinders subjected to external pressure with initial ovality, such as the once-through type steam generator.

This article presents a comparative analysis of seismic behavior in steel-beam reinforced concrete column (RCS) frames versus steel and reinforced concrete frames. The study evaluates the seismic response and collapse behavior of RCS frames of varying heights through nonlinear modeling. RCS, steel, and reinforced concrete special moment frames are considered in three height categories: 5, 10, and 20 stories. Two-dimensional frames are extracted from the three-dimensional structures, and nonlinear static analyses are conducted in the OpenSEES software to evaluate seismic response in post-yield regions. Incremental dynamic analysis is then performed on models, and collapse conditions are compared using fragility curves. Research findings indicate that the seismic intensity index in steel frames is 1.35 times greater than in RCS frames and 1.14 times greater than in reinforced concrete frames. As the number of stories increases, RCS frames exhibit more favorable collapse behavior compared to reinforced concrete frames. RCS frames demonstrate stable behavior and maintain capacity at high displacement levels, with uniform drift curves and lower damage levels compared to steel and reinforced concrete frames. Steel frames show superior strength and ductility, particularly in taller structures. RCS frames outperform reinforced concrete frames, displaying improved collapse behavior and higher capacity. Incremental Dynamic Analysis results confirm satisfactory collapse capacity for RCS frames. Steel frames collapse at higher intensity levels but perform better overall. RCS frames have a higher collapse capacity than reinforced concrete frames. Fragility curves show a lower likelihood of collapse for steel structures, while RCS frames perform better with an increase in the number of stories.

선체구조는 기본적으로 판부재의 조합으로 이루어져 있으며, 이러한 판부재의 하중분담 능력 혹은 최종강도 평가는 선체구조의 합리적인 설계 및 구조의 안정성 평가에 있어서는 아주 중요하다. 또한, 선체구조를 구성하고 있는 구조요소들은 작용외력에 대하여 개별적으로 작용하지 않으며 전체적으로 연속거동을 하게 된다. 실제 선박에서의 붕괴형태 중 한가지는 종방향 굽휨에 의해서 갑판 혹은 선저부에 좌굴 및 소성붕괴이다. 그래서, 합리적인 설계에서는 이러한 급작스런 붕괴형태를 방지하기 위하여 좌굴 및 소성붕괴 거동을 파악하는 것이 아주 중요하며, 실제 선박에서는 갑판부와 선저부에서는 하중분담 능력을 증가시키기 위하여 여러개의 종보강재를 가진 보강판 구조의 설계를 하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 선체 판넬구조의 모델링 방법에 따른 최종강도 거동의 차이를 분석하여, 합리적인 모델링영역을 규명하고자 한다. 사용된 해석 모델은 실제 상선의 이중저구조에서 사용되는 판넬에서 채택하였으며 유한요소해석 모델링 시 3가지 단면형상에 대해 각각 6가지 서로 다른 해석모델을 적용하였으며, 이때 보강재의 단면형상을 변화하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 압축하중이 작용하는 선체 보강판구조에서 해석영역에 대한 좌굴 및 최종강도 거동의 특성을 분석하였다.

초대형 해양 구조물은 매립 방법을 대신한 새로운 해양공간의 이용방법으로서 주목받고 있다. 따라서, 이와 같은 요구에 부합하기 위해서 초대형 해양 구조물이 제안되고 있다. 초대형 해양 구조물은, 매립 공법과 달리, 수심이나 해저의 지질에 관계없이 설치할 수 있고, 또 부체의 아래에 흐름이 존재하기 때문에 자연환경에 영향이 전혀 발생하지 않는다. 또한, 용이하게 조립 해체를 할 수 있기 때문에, 확장이나 철거를 쉽게 할수 있는 장점이 있다. 초대형 부유체 구조물 설계 기준안에 의하면, 구조안정성에 관한 항목 중, 부유체 구조물의 사용환경 및 설치환경에서 발생할 수 있는 최악의 해상조건에 있어 적절한 구조강도 여유를 갖는 것을 쥬정하고 있다. 따라서, 예상 가능한 하중 시나리오에 의해서, 적절한 구조 해석 및 실험을 수행하고, 안전성을 확인하도록 요구하고 있다. 전자에 관해서는 구조부재 레벨의 강도 평가를 수행하고, 후자에 관해서는 구조물의 파괴를 수반한 거동을 확인한다. 지금까지 탄성 응답 해석을 기초로 주요 구조부재의 강도 한계치를 기준으로 한 다양한 검도, 평가가 행해져 왔다. 그렇지만, 부재의 붕괴를 초과한 부하가 작용할 때의 구조 전체로서의 붕괴 거동 및 안전성에 관한 검토는 적다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이상 환경 조건하에서 발생 가능한 하중조건에 대해서 대형 해상구조물의 비선형 붕괴 거동을 파악한 것을 목적으로 하고 있다.

Unstiffened and stiffened cylindrically curved plates are often used in ship structures. For example, they can be found on a deck with a camber, a side shell at the fore and aft parts, and the circular bilge part of a ship structure. It is believed that such cylindrically curved plates can be fundamentally modelled using a portion of a circular cylinder. From estimations using cylindrically curved plate models, it is known that the curvature generally increases the buckling strength compared to a flat plate under axial compression. The existence of curvature is also expected to increase both the ultimate and buckling strengths. In the present study, a series of finite element analyses were conducted on stiffened curved plates with several varying parameters such as the curvature, panel slenderness ratio, and web height and type of stiffener applied. The results of numerical calculations on stiffened and unstiffened curved plates were examined to clarify the influences of such parameters on the characteristics of their buckling/plastic collapse behavior and strength under an axial compression.

본 논문에서는 국내외 터널 붕락사례를 바탕으로 붕락 발생시의 지반특징에 관해 분석하였다. 국내의 경우에는 대부분 연암 및 풍화암이 터널 막장 전면에 존재한 경우 굴착에 기인한 응력의 재배치로 인해 막장의 전단강도가 가장 취약한 면을 따라 국부적 또는 전변에 걸친 붕괴가 일어나며 풍화를 심하게 받은 파쇄대을 따라 발파나 굴착으로 인하여 터널 안정성을 상실, 터널 붕괴를 유발하는 것이 특정으로 나타났다. 유럽의 경우 지반이 상대적으로 신선하지만 하나의 절리군에 의한 붕락도 발생하였고 RQD 지수가 50% 이상의 양호한 암반에서도 붕락이 발생하였으며 지하수의 유출도 분류 범위 내에서 고루 발생한 것이 특징이다.

This study experimentally explored the behaviour of 12 concrete filled steel tube (CFST) and steel tube columns subjected to lateral cyclic loading. The L/D ratio was 12.3 while D/t ratios were 45.4, 37.8 and 32.4, classifying these 12 specimens into 3 groups. Each group included 3 CFST and 1 steel tube columns and were tested to failure. The experimental results indicated that CFST specimens reached the state of 'collapse prevention' (drift 4%) prior to the occurrence of local buckling. Strength degradation of CFST specimens did not occur up to the failure by buckling. This showed the favourable characteristic of CFST columns in preventing collapse of structures subjected to earthquakes. The high energy absorption capability in the post collapse limit state was appropriate for dissipating energy in structures. Compared to steel tube columns, CFST columns delayed local buckling and prevented inward buckling. Consequently, CFST columns exhibited their outstanding seismic performance in terms of the increased ultimate resistance, capacity to sustain 2-3 additional load cycles and significantly higher drift. A simple and reasonably accurate model was proposed to predict the ultimate strength of CFST columns under lateral cyclic loading.

Most commercial buildings among existing RC buildings in Korea have a multi-story wall-frame structure where RC shear wall is commonly used as its core at stairways or elevators. The members of the existing middle and low-rise wall-frame buildings are likely arranged in ordinary details considering building occupancy, and the importance and difficulty of member design. This is because there are few limitations, considerations, and financial burdens on the code for designing members with ordinary details. Compared with the intermediate or unique details, the ductility and overstrength are insufficient. Furthermore, the behavior of the member can be shear-dominated. Since shear failure in vertical members can cause a collapse of the entire structure, nonlinear characteristics such as shear strength and stiffness deterioration should be adequately reflected in the analysis model. With this background, an 8-story RC wall-frame building was designed as a building frame system with ordinary shear walls, and the effect of reflecting the shear failure mode of columns and walls on the collapse mechanism was investigated. As a result, the shear failure mode effect on the collapse mechanism was evident in walls, not columns. Consequently, it is recommended that the shear behavior characteristics of walls are explicitly considered in the analysis of wall-frame buildings with ordinary details.
