  • The aim of this study is to assess the seismic performance of hollow reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete bridge columns, and to provide data for developing improved seismic design criteria. By using a sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program, the accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can be enhanced. A computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), is used to analyze reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures. Tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and models of reinforcing and prestressing steel were used to account for the material nonlinearity of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete. The smeared crack approach was incorporated. The proposed numerical method for the seismic performance assessment of hollow reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete bridge columns is verified by comparing it with the reliable experimental results. Additionally, the studies and discussions presented in this investigation provide an insight into the key behavioral aspects of hollow reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete bridge columns.

  • 본 연구는 터널굴착 공사에 의한 지반거동을 평가하여, 구조물의 형상, 위치, 굴착공정 변화등의 다양한 조건과 지반/구조물의 상호작용이 고려된 모형실험을 기본으로 수행하였다. 굴착진행 단계에 따른 구조물의 손상 거동 평가시 인접 구조물이 밀집된 도심지 굴착에서는 보다 안전하고 보수적인 평가가 나타나는 각변위와 수평변형율에 의한 손상도표를 활용하는 것이 보다 안전할 것으로 판단된다. 모형실험시 구조물에 발생된 균열의 손상수준을 손상도표에서 평가해 본 결과, 균열손상 수준이 적용된 평가가 각변위와 수평변형율만 적용된 손상수준보다 안전측으로 평가되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로, 각변위와 수평변형율 뿐만 아니라 균열이 고려된 손상평가를 수행하는 것이 보다 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

  • In this study, a four-point bending test was conducted to assess and detect the damage to reinforced concrete structures using the acoustic emission (AE) technique. Based on the crack investigation results, flexural failure was classified into four stages and compared with the characteristic analysis results of AE parameters. The parametric characterization indicated that the activity of the primary AE signal was high in the early stage, and that of the second signal increased after the flexural cracks stabilized. Because the secondary AE signal included noise generated by friction, parameter-based analysis for damage assessment was performed using the primary signal; the secondary signal was used as complement. The activity analyses of the primary and secondary signals effectively classified crack propagation; however, determining the macrocracks and yielding of reinforcing bars had certain limitations. Nevertheless, applying the damage index with cumulative AE energy is a complementary technique for detecting and assessing structure damage that well detects the occurrence of macrocracks.

  • 원자력발전소 증기발생기 전열관에 균열이 발생할 경우 해당 전열관을 관막음하여 안전하게 운영하고 있다. 만약 가동중검사시 균열 검출에 실패할 경우 전열관 파단사고와 같은 대형 사고로 이어질 수 있다. 증기발생기 전열관에는 여러 유형의 균열이 발생하고 있는데, 와전류검사로부터 균열이 확인된 경우 균열의 크기를 평가하여 전열관의 건전성을 평가하여야 한다. 그러나 균열의 깊이평가는 평가방법이 난해하여 평가 결과의 정확도 및 평가자 사이의 일관성이 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 현재 사용되고 있는 균열깊이 평가방법에 대한 정확도 및 일관성을 확인하고, 보다 신뢰성 있는 평가방법의 개발을 위하여 고리 1호기 구증기발생기를 활용하였다. 국내 유자격 평가자들의 round robin test 결과를 통계적으로 분석하여 균열 유형별 최적의 평가방법을 도출하였다. 본 논문에서 제시된 균열깊이 평가기법은 국내 원전의 증기발생기관리프로그램에 활용되어 원전의 신뢰성 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • Pipelines subjected to ground movement would be easily exposed to large-scale deformation. Since such deformations may cause the pipeline failure, it is important to ensure the safety of pipelines in various operation conditions. However, crack in weld metal have been considered as one of the main causes that can deteriorate the structural integrity of the pipeline. For this reason, the structural integrity of the pipe containing the crack in the weld should be obtained. In order to assess cracked pipe, J-integral and crack-tip opening displacement(CTOD) have been applied widely as the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics parameters representing crack driving force. In this study, engineering solutions to calculate the J-integral and CTOD of pipes with a circumferential outer surface crack in the weld are proposed. For this purpose, 3-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element(FE) analyses have been performed considering the effect of overmatch and width of weld. The shape of the weld was simplified to I-groove, and axial displacement was employed as for loading condition. Based on FE results, the effects of crack size, material properties and width of weldment on J-integral and CTOD were investigated. Additionally, the J-integral and CTOD for I-groove were compared with those for V-groove to examine the effects of the weld shape, and a proportionality coefficient of J-integral and CTOD was calculated from the results of this paper.

  • 공용중인 콘크리트 구조물의 건전성 평가를 위해서는 하중 증가에 따른 내부의 변형특성 및 손상을 예측하고 비 파괴적으로 상시 모니터링 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 철근 콘크리트 슬래브 시편을 대상으로 단계별 하중 재하(loading, holding, unloading)에 따른 음향방출 실험을 실시하였으며 휨 시험하의 인장균열, 전단균열 및 철근 콘크리트의 부착 상태, 반복하중에 의한 AE 신호의 특징과 신호 발생 양상을 분석하였다. 또한 음향방출법(a.oustic emission)에 있어 손상 정도를 유추할 수 있는 대표적 인자인 Felicity ratio를 분석하여 콘크리트 구조물의 상시감시 및 안전진단에 음향방출 기술을 적용하기 위한 분석기법을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Offshore structure may be considerably vulnerable to fatigue failure while initial flaw propagates under cyclic loading, so crack propagation analysis/fracture/yield assessments about initial flaw detected by NDT are necessarily required. In this paper, case studies have been conducted by flaw assessment program using engineering criticality analysis (ECA) approach. Variables such as flaw geometry, flaw size, structure geometry, dynamic stress, static stress, toughness, crack growth rate, stress concentration factor (SCF) affected by weld are considered as analysis conditions. As a result, the safety of structure was examined during fatigue loading life. Also, critical initial flaw size was calculated by sensitivity module in the developed program. The flaw assessments analysis using ECA approach can be very useful in offshore industries owing to the increasing demand on the engineering criticality analysis of potential initial flaws.
