Steel tubes have an efficient shape with large second moment of inertia relative to their light weight. One of the main problems of these members is their low buckling resistance caused from having thin walls. In this study, steel foams with high strength over weight ratio is used to fill the steel tube to beneficially modify the response of steel tubes. The linear eigenvalue and plastic collapse FE analysis is done on steel foam filled tube under pure compression and three point bending simulation. It is shown that steel foam improves the maximum strength and the ability of energy absorption of the steel tubes significantly. Different configurations with different volume of steel foam and composite behavior is investigated. It is demonstrated that there are some optimum configurations with more efficient behavior. If composite action between steel foam and steel increases, the strength of the element will improve, in a way that, the failure mode change from local buckling to yielding.

Experiments on the yield strength of pipe connectors made of metal wire, joint pins, pole pipes, multi span insertion joints, and T-clamp joints used in pipe houses were conducted. The strength of connections of a pipe connector made of metal wire was adequate but it had a big difference according to loading direction. The collapse load of pipes connected with a joint pin was lower than that of single pipes. Also experimental results showed that pole pipes for use in a part of frame buried under the ground were safe, and the strength of multi span insertion joints should be increased. The resistant moment of T-clamp was about 13.7% of a single pipe.

Unbraced vinyl house frame that is economically installed is certainly easy to collapse under the influence of excess snow load. To make it more cheaply in putting up as well as more efficiently in withstanding the applied snow load, it is essential to insert additional bracing into the existing unbraced vinyl house frame. On the other hand, there are varieties of possible bracing shapes that can be formed. However, their efficiencies are different. Therefore, it is important to identify the most effective bracing shape. In this study, 2 different kinds of bracing shapes, horizontal and inclined bracing, are used to additionally install in the ordinary single frames in order to show the effect of the bracing resisting the applied snow load and compare the bending moment, axial force, combined stress and vertical displacement of the vinyl house frame.

지진 현상은 가장 심각한 인명과 재산의 피해를 초래하는 재해이며, 그 중 액상화 현상은 짧은 시간 안에 큰 피해를 줄 수 있는 재해중의 하나이다. 그 이유는 지반이 순간적으로 현탁액과 같은 상태가 되기 때문에 구조물들이 순간적으로 기울거나 붕괴하는 피해를 유발하게 된다. 이 연구는 춘천지역을 대상으로 지질도, 토양도, 수계망도, 지하수위 자료를 선정ㆍ분류하고, GSIS를 적용하여 경험적인 방법과 내진규정을 기준으로 액상화의 발생 가능지역을 평가하였다.

Many electric poles in the softground have been collapsed due to external load. In this study, 10 types of tests were performed with variation of location, numbers and depths of anchor blocks as well as depth of poles to find stresses acting on concrete electric poles. The stresses of concrete poles are relaxed at 600~700[kg] of tensile load, and stresses are concentrated at top of pole, and spread to lower part of pole. In the concrete pole collapse test, tensile load at failure was approximately 1,400[kg], which is twice of design load. As passive zone in the soil increases, the stresses acting on concrete pole are concentrated at lower part of pole based on moment arm earth pressure distribution.

This paper aims to probabilistically evaluate performance of two types of I beam to box column (IBBC) connection. With the objective of considering the variability of seismic loading demand, statistical features of the inter-story drift ratio corresponding to the second, fifth and eleventh story of a 12-story steel special moment resisting frames are extracted through incremental dynamic analysis at global collapse state. Variability of geometrical variables and material strength are also taken into account. All of these random variables are exported as inputs to a probabilistic finite element model which simulates the connection. At the end, cumulative distribution functions of local seismic demand for each component of each connection are provided using histogram sampling. Through a parametric study on probabilistic local seismic demand, the influence of some geometrical random variables on the performance of IBBC connections is demonstrated. Furthermore, the probabilistic study revealed that IBBC connection with widened flange has a better performance than the un-widened flange. Also, a design procedure is proposed for WF connections to achieve a same connection performance in different stories.

In this paper ALPS/ISUM will be used to analyze the ultimate strength of four ships under vertical moment. Two of the ships are commercial vessels and the other two are cruisers. A procedure is also developed to determine the ultimate strength of the four vessels under combined vertical and horizontal moments. A simple analytical expression for an interaction relation under combined moments is proposed based on the results obtained for the four ships and the earlier work.

A four-story reinforced concrete frame building model is designed for the gravity loads. only Static nonlinear pushover analyses are performed in two orthogonal horizontal directions. The overall capacity curves are converted into ADRS spectra and compared with demand spectra. At several points the deformed shape moment and shear distribution are calculated. It is observed that the seismic capacity may not meet the design requirements in soft soil condition and may collapse in MCE. It is concluded that limited but adequate amount of ductility need be provided in the seismic design in low to moderate seismicity regions.

Seismic response control has always been a grave concern with the damage and collapse of many buildings during the past earthquakes. While there are several existing techniques like base isolation, viscous damper, moment-resisting beam-column connections, tuned mass damper, etc., many of these are succumbing to either of large displacement, near-fault, and long-period earthquakes. Keeping this viewpoint, extensive research on the application of smart materials for seismic response control of buildings was attempted during the last decade. Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) with its unique properties of superelasticity and shape memory effect is one of the smart materials used for seismic control of buildings. In this paper, an exhaustive review has been compiled on the seismic control applications of SMA in buildings. Unique properties of SMA are discussed in detail and different phases of SMA along with crystal characteristics are illustrated. Consequently, various seismic control applications of SMA are discussed in terms of performance and compared with prevalent base isolators, bracings, beam-column connections, and tuned mass damper systems.

우리나라 해안공학계에서 신뢰성 기반설계가 빠르게 체화되는 계기를 제공하기 위해 다 수의 한계상태를 지닌 직립방파제 신뢰성 해석과 신뢰성 기반 최적 설계를 우리나라를 대표하는 항이 운영 중인 부산, 군산 전면해역을 대상으로 수행하였다. 이 과정에서 상당한 정도의 신뢰성 해석을 수행하기 위해, 특정 재현 빈도의 설계 파 사용은 지양하였으며, 직립방파제의 파괴 여부를 결정하는 확률변수인 파력, 양력, 전도 모멘트에 내재한 불확실성은 장기 파랑 관측자료를 빈도 해석하여 얻은 확률모형을 사용하여 기술하였다. 직립식 방파제의 한계상태는 활동, 전도, 지지력을 고려하여 세 개로 구성하였으며, 파력과 양력, 모멘트 사이의 밀접한 상관성은 Nataf 결합확률분포를 사용하여 기술하였다. 모의 결과, 쉽게 예상해볼 수 있듯 활동만을 고려하는 경우 파괴확률이 과소하게 산출되는것을 확인하였으며, 특정 재현 빈도에 근거한 설계 파랑으로는 방파제 파괴확률을 일정하게 담보할 수 없다는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 비해 신뢰 지수가 𝛽 = 3.5~4를 충족하도록 최적 설계된 방파제는 두 해역에서 모두 균질한 파괴확률을 확보하는 것으로 모의 되었다.
