Introduced was a new anti-corrosive method with improved ease of construction, economy, and durability that could be applicable for steel-composite drilled shaft. The feasibility and economy of sea-water-resistant steel was evaluated under the assumption that it was to substitute carbon steel for steel casing of drilled shaft foundation as a load carrying structural member not just as a sacrifice casing, and that anti-corrosive protection measures as required by the domestic standards was applied. Sea-water-resistant steel was found to cost 30% to 55% more, depending on pile diameter and the type of applied anti-corrosive measures, than carbon steel for the service life time of 70 years: 50% to 90% more for 100 years of service life.

Integral abutment bridges (IABs) are those bridges without expansion joints. A single row of steel H-piles (SHPs) is commonly used at the thin and stub abutments of IABs to form a flexible support system at the bridge ends to accommodate thermal-induced displacement of the bridge. Consequently, as the IAB expands and contracts due to temperature variations, the SHPs supporting the abutments are subjected to cyclic lateral (longitudinal) displacements, which may eventually lead to low-cycle fatigue (LCF) failure of the piles. In this paper, the potential of using finite element (FE) modeling techniques to estimate the LCF life of SHPs commonly used in IABs is investigated. For this purpose, first, experimental tests are conducted on several SHP specimens to determine their LCF life under thermal-induced cyclic flexural strains. In the experimental tests, the specimens are subjected to longitudinal displacements (or flexural strain cycles) with various amplitudes in the absence and presence of a typical axial load. Next, nonlinear FE models of the tested SHP specimens are developed using the computer program ANSYS to investigate the possibility of using such numerical models to predict the LCF life of SHPs commonly used in IABs. The comparison of FE analysis results with the experimental test results revealed that the FE analysis results are in close agreement with the experimental test results. Thus, FE modeling techniques similar to that used in this research study may be used to predict the LCF life of SHP commonly used in IABs.

By the end of 2014, the number of completed and under-construction supertall buildings above 250 meters in China reached 90 and 129, respectively. China has become one of the centers of supertall buildings in the world. Supertall buildings in China are getting taller, more slender, and more complex. The structural design of these buildings focuses on the efficiency of lateral resisting systems and the application of energy dissipation. Furthermore, the research, design, and construction of high-performance materials, pile foundations, and mega-members have made a lot of progress. Meanwhile, more and more challenges are presented, such as the improvement of structural system efficiency, the further understanding of failure models, the definition of design criteria, the application of high-performance materials, and construction monitoring. Thus, local structural engineers are playing a more important role in the design of supertall buildings.

Plastic behaviors, based on the von Mises yield criterion, of circular discs containing a purely elastic, circular inclusion under uniform temperature loading are studied with the finite element analysis. Temperature-dependent mechanical properties are considered for the matrix material only. In addition to analyzing the plane stress and plane strain disc, a 3D thin disc and cylinder are also analyzed to compare the plane problems. We determined the elastic irreversible temperature and global plastic collapse temperature by the finite element calculations for the plane and 3D problem. In addition to the global plastic collapse, for the elastically hard case, the plane stress problem and 3D thin disc may exhibit a local plastic collapse, i.e. significant pile up along the thickness direction, near the inclusion-matrix interface. The pileup cannot be correctly modeled by the plane stress analysis. Furthermore, due to numerical difficulties originated from large deformation, only the lower bound of global plastic collapse temperature of the plane stress problem can be identified. Without considerations of temperature-dependent mechanical properties, the von Mises stress in the matrix would be largely overestimated.

Sand Compaction Piles (SCPs) are constructed by feeding and compacting sand into soft clay ground. Sand piles have been installed with irregular cross-sectional shapes, and mixtures of both sand and clay, which violate the design requirement of circular shape according to the replacement area ratio due to various factors, including side flow pressure. Therefore, design assumptions cannot be satisfied according to the conditions of the ground and construction and the replacement area ratio. Two case histories were collected, examined, and interpreted in order to study the effect of the shape of SCPs. The effects of the distortion of SCP shape and the mixture of sand and clay were studied with the results of large direct shear tests. The design internal friction angle was secured with the irregular cross-sectional sand piles regardless of the replacement area ratio. The design internal friction angle was secured regardless of mixed condition when the mixture of sand and clay was higher than the replacement area ratio of 65%. Therefore, systematic construction management is recommended with a replacement area ratio below 65%.

Offshore platforms in seismically active areas must be designed to survive in the face of intense earthquakes without a global structural collapse. This paper scrutinizes the seismic performance of a newly designed and established jacket type offshore platform situated in the entrance of the Gulf of Suez region based on the API-RP2A normalized response spectra during seismic events. A nonlinear finite element model of a typical jacket type offshore platform is constructed taking into consideration the effect of structure-soil-interaction. Soil properties at the site were manipulated to generate the pile lateral soil properties in the form of load deflection curves, based on API-RP2A recommendations. Dynamic characteristics of the offshore platform, the response function, output power spectral density and transfer functions for different elements of the platform are discussed. The joints deflection and acceleration responses demands are presented. It is generally concluded that consideration of the interaction between structure, piles and soil leads to higher deflections and less stresses in platform elements due to soil elasticity, nonlinearity, and damping and leads to a more realistic platform design. The earthquake-based analysis for offshore platform structure is essential for the safe design and operation of offshore platforms.

AREVA NP (Courbevoie, Paris, France) is actively developing several enhanced accident-tolerant fuels cladding concepts ranging from near-term evolutionary (Cr-coated zirconium alloy cladding) to long-term revolutionary (SiC/SiC composite cladding) solutions, relying on its worldwide teams and partnerships, with programs and irradiations planned both in Europe and the United States. The most advanced and mature solution is a dense, adherent chromium coating on zirconium alloy cladding, which was initially developed along with the CEA and EDF in the French joint nuclear R&D program. The evaluation of the out-of-pile behavior of the Cr-coated cladding showed excellent results, suggesting enhanced reliability, enhanced operational flexibility, and improved economics in normal operating conditions. For example, because chromium is harder than zirconium, the Cr coating provides the cladding with a significantly improved wear resistance. Furthermore, Cr-coated samples exhibit extremely low corrosion kinetics in autoclave and prevents accelerated corrosion in harsh environments such as in water with 70 ppm Li leading to improved operational flexibility. Finally, AREVA NP has fabricated a physical vapor deposition prototype machine to coat full-length cladding tubes. This machine will be used for the manufacturing of full-length lead test rods in commercial reactors by 2019.

모래다짐말뚝(SCP)는 연약지반 내에 다짐에 의해 형성된 모래말뚝을 조성하여 지반 개량효과를 극대화하는 공법이다. 점성토 지반에서는 압밀촉진 및 배수 효과, 느슨한 모래지반에서는 다짐 등을 통해 액상화 대책공법으로 주로 사용되고 있다. SCP의 설계에 있어 강성이 큰 SCP 본체 부분도 함께 고려하지 않으면 과도하게 안전을 고려한 설계가 되며 시공비용이 늘어나 경제적으로도 불리할 가능성이 매우 높다. SCP 타설에 의한 지반 내의 응력상태의 변화나 다짐 메커니즘에 대해서는 지금까지의 연구 결과에 의해 어느 정도 구명되었으나, SCP와 원지반을 복합지반으로 고려한 연구는 사례가 적어 충분히 설명될 만큼 연구 성과를 얻지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SCP 개량지반을 SCP와 원지반으로 구성된 복합지반으로 취급하였으며, SCP 타설에 의한 응력상태나 밀도변화를 모사한 요소시험(CID test)을 수행하여 SCP 시공에 따른 원지반의 응력상태의 변화를 $K_0$와 SCP 치환율의 관계를 통해 고찰하였다. 동시에 반복삼축압축 시험장치를 이용하여 SCP의 시공과정을 실내에서 재현할 수 있는지에 대해도 검토하였다. 시험결과 SCP 시공 초기 원지반의 응력상태의 변화가 가장 크게 발생하고 있으며, 특정 시점 이후에는 SCP 시공을 위한 진동이 지반의 응력특성 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하고 있었다. 또한 SCP에 의한 원지반의 거동을 실내에서 재현하기 위해서는 케이싱 진동에 해당하는 반복재하를 실시하는 것이 반드시 필요하다고 판단된다.

쇄석다짐말뚝(GCP)은 연약지반의 지지력 증가와 침하량 감소를 실현할 수 있어 연약지반 개량에 활발하게 사용되고 있다. 그리고 GCP 설계에 필요한 응력분담비는 치환율, 상재하중, 깊이, 관통률 등에 따라 달라진다. 그동안 많은 연구자들이 현장 실내 실험, 수치해석 연구를 통해 GCP로 개량된 복합지반의 응력분담비를 제안하였지만 명확하게 제시되지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 GCP공법의 합리적인 설계법 제안을 위한 기초연구로써, 유한요소해석프로그램인 ABAQUS 6.12-4를 이용하여 GCP로 개량된 복합지반을 모델링하여 치환율과 관통률에 따른 침하량과 응력분담비를 분석하고자 하였다, 그 결과, 최상부 지점을 제외한 다른 지점에서의 응력분담비의 값은 관통률 60%일 때 1.21~5.36, 관통률 80%일 때 1.19~5.45, 관통률 100%일 때 2.16~5.60 이었다. 이는 관통률과 치환율이 증가할수록 응력분담비의 값은 크게 증가함을 알 수 있다.
