Friction-type reinforcing members (FRM) to enhance the resistance to wind loads of a transmission tower through both stiffness strengthening and damping increase are energy dissipation devices that utilize bending deflection of a tower leg. In this paper, the hysteretic behavior of the transmission tower structure with FRMs was experimentally investigated through cyclic loading tests on a half scale substructure model. Firstly, the variation of friction forces and durability of the FRM depending on the type of Friction-inducing materials used in the FRM were examined by performing the cyclic loading tests on the FRM. Secondly, Cyclic loading tests of a half-scale two-dimensional substructure model of a transmission tower with FRMs were conducted. Test results show that the FRM, of which desired maximum friction force is easily regulated by adjusting the amplitude of the torque applied to the bolts, have stable hysteretic behaviors and it is found that there exists the optimum torque depending on a design load by investigating the amount of energy dissipation of the FRMs according to the increase of torque.

This paper describes lab test results of artificial rock-like material samples having a plane joint. Cyclic shear tests were performed under different normal loads and different shear displacement amplitudes. For this purpose, multi-stage normal loading tests (30 kN, 60 kN, 90 kN, 180 kN, 360 kN and 480 kN) with cyclic excitation at frequency of 1.0 Hz and different shear displacement amplitudes (0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 5.0 mm, and 8.0 mm) were conducted using the big shear box device GS-1000. Experimental results show, that shear forces increase with the increase of normal forces and quasi-static friction coefficient is larger than dynamic one. With the increase of normal loads, approaching the peak value of shear forces needs larger shear displacements. During each cycle the normal displacements increase and decrease (rotational behavior in every cycle). Peak angle of inclination increases with the increase of normal load. A phase shift between maximum shear displacement and maximum shear force is observed. The corresponding time shift decreases with increasing normal load and increases with increasing shear displacement amplitudes.

This paper presents experimental and analytical studies to understand the behavior of crumb rubber concrete (CRC)-filled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and steel tube double skin column (DSC) and beam (DSB) members under cyclic loading. The main test variable was the percentage of rubber which ranged from 0 to 40%. For column members, different heights corresponding to different aspect ratios were examined to understand the to understand the effect of DSCs' slenderness on the cyclic response of the columns. the. The behavior of the specimens in terms of failure mode, strain development, energy dissipation, load-displacement response were presented and compared. The ability of the current provisions of the Australian codes to predict the capacity of such double skin members was also evaluated based on the test results. This study concluded that the reduction in the concrete strength was more severe at the material level compared to structural level. Also, as the load changed from axial compression in columns to pure moment in beams the negative effect of rubber percentage on the strength became less significant.

This experimental investigation was conducted to examine the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns. The columns were subjected to a constant axial load and a cyclic horizontal load-inducing reversed bending moment. The variables studied in this research are the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement ($P_s$ =0.96, 1.44 per cent) and axial load ratio (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 P/$P_o$). Test results show that bridge columns with 50 per cent higher amounts of transverse reinforcement than that required by seismic provisions of ACI 318-02 showed ductile behaviour. For bridge columns with axial load ratio(P/$P_o$) less than 0.2, the ratio of $M_{max}$ over $M_{aci}$, nominal moment capacity predicted by ACI 318-02 provisions, is consistently greater than 1 with approximately a 20 percent margin of safty.

Comprehensive results from cyclic plate loading at a diameter of 300 mm supported by layers of geocell are presented. The plate load tests were performed in a test pit measuring $2000{\times}2000mm$ in plane and 700 mm in depth. To simulate half and full traffic loadings, fifteen loading and unloading cycles were applied to the loading plate with amplitudes of 400 and 800 kPa. The optimum embedded depth of the first layer of geocell beneath the loading plate and the optimum vertical spacing of geocell layers, based on plate settlement, are both approximately 0.2 times loading plate diameter. The results show that installation of the geocell layers in the foundation bed, increase the resilient behavior in addition to reduction of accumulated plastic and total settlement of pavement system. Efficiency of geocell reinforcement was decreased by increasing the number of the geocell layers for all applied stress levels and number of cycles of applied loading. The results of the testing reveal the ability of the multiple layers of geocell reinforcement to 'shakedown' to a fully resilient behavior after a period of plastic settlement except when there is little or no reinforcement and the applied cyclic pressure are large. When shakedown response is observed, then both the accumulated plastic settlement prior to a steady-state response being obtained and the resilient settlements thereafter are reduced. The use of four layers of geocell respectively decreases the total and residual plastic settlements about 53% and 63% and increases the resilient settlement 145% compared with the unreinforced case. The inclusion of the geocell layers also reduces the vertical stress transferred down through the pavement by distributing the load over a wider area. For example, at the end of the load cycle of the applied pressure of 800 kPa, the transferred pressure at the depth of 510 mm is reduced about 21.4%, 43.9%, 56.1% for the reinforced bases with one, two, and three layers of geocell, respectively, compared to the stress in the unreinforced bed.

Fracture resistance(J-R) curves, which are used for the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analyses, are known to be dependent on the cyclic loading history. The objective of this paper is to study the effect of reverse cyclic loading on J-R curves in CT specimens. The effect of two parameters was observed on the J-R curves during the reverse cyclic loading. One was the minimum-to-maximum load ratio(R) and the other was the incremental plastic displacement(${\delta}_{cycle}/{\delta}_i$), which is related to the amount of crack growth that occurs in a cycle. Fracture resistance test on CT specimens with varying load ratio and incremental plastic displacement were performed. For the SA 516 Gr. 70 steel, the results showed that the J-R curves were decreased with decreasing the load ratio and the incremental plastic displacement. When the load ratio was set to -1, the results of the J-R curves and the $J_i$ value were about $40{\sim}50$ percent of those for the monotonic loading condition. Also on condition that the incremental plastic displacement reached 1/40, the J-R curves and the $J_i$ value were about $50{\sim}60$ percent of those for the incremental plastic displacement of 1/10.

During earthquake, reinforced concrete walls show complicated post-yield behavior varying with shear span-to-depth ratio, re-bar detail, and loading condition. In the present study, a macro-model for the nonlinear analysis of multi-story wall structures was developed. To conveniently describe the coupled flexure-compression and shear responses, a reinforced concrete wall was idealized with longitudinal and diagonal uniaxial elements. Simplified cyclic material models were used to describe the cyclic behavior of concrete and re-bars. For verification, the proposed method was applied to various existing test specimens of isolated and coupled walls. The results showed that the predictions agreed well with the test results including the load-carrying capacity, deformation capacity, and failure mode. Further the proposed model was applied to an existing wall structure tested on a shaking table. Three-dimensional nonlinear time history analyses using the proposed model were performed for the test specimen. The time history responses of the proposed method agreed with the test results including the lateral displacements and base shear.

Cyclic heating performance of 3 ton air-to-air unitary heat pump installed in a residence in the Washington, D.C. area was determined by applying the bin method to field test result. Cyclic degradation coefficient Cn of heat pump may be expressed in terms of heating load factor HLF as the following : $$C_D=\frac{1-HLF^m}{1-HLF}$$ where $$C_D{\ge}m$$ The less is the value of exponent m, the better is, the performance of a heat pump, depending upon the heat pump design.

PSRC 기둥은 앵글을 콘크리트에 매입시킨 기둥으로, 단면의 외곽 코너에 배치되는 앵글이 기둥의 휨-압축에 저항한다. 본 연구에서는 KBC 2009에 따라 압축력을 가한 기둥에 대하여 횡방향 반복가력 실험을 통하여 내진성능을 검증하였다. 기둥 종류, 연속후프근 적용, 앵글에 스터드 적용을 실험 변수로 고려하였으며, 2/3 스케일을 갖는 한 개의 SRC 합성기둥과 세 개의 PSRC 합성기둥을 실험하였다. 실험결과, KBC 2009로 예측한 PSRC 합성기둥의 하중재하능력은 실험결과와 잘 일치하였으며, 변형능력과 에너지 소산에 있어서 우수한 성능을 보여주었다. PSRC 합성기둥은 반복하중으로 인한 콘크리트 피복 탈락 이후, 앵글 및 주철근의 좌굴에 의해 실험체의 하중재하능력이 감소하였다. 특히, 연속후프근을 적용한 PSRC 합성기둥은 앵글의 조기 국부좌굴이 억제되어 기존 PSRC 합성기둥에 비해 연성능력이 향상되었다.

현장 평판재하시험은 평판에 작용하는 하중과 변위를 동시에 측정하기 때문에 역학적인 특성치 결정의 가능성이 높은 시험방법이다. 그러나 지금까지 평판재하시험으로부터 추정한 탄성계수는 일정 변위를 유발한 하중강도하에서의 지지력계수로부터 구한 하나의 상수값으로서, 이는 포장구조에서 노상이 경험하는 사용하중 단계에서의 대표적인 변형특성치로 결정하기에는 어려움이 있다. 포장설계시 사용되는 회복탄성계수 개념의 변형계수는 중간변형률$(0.01\%\sim0.1\%)$ 영역에서의 값으로서, 현장 노상토의 경우에도 이와 같은 변형률 범위에서의 변형계수를 평가하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 노상 현장에서 반복평판재하시험을 이용하여 중간변형률 영역에서의 변형계수를 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이의 신뢰성을 검토하기 위하여 현장에서 크로스홀 시험과 실내에서 공진주시험을 수행하여 전체변형률 영역에서의 현장의 변형특성을 평가하여 평판재하시험 결과와 비교하였다. 두 시험결과 사이의 응력상태를 고려하면 변형률에 따른 변형계수의 값과 경향이 비교적 일치하였고, 제안된 반복식 평판재하시험을통해 현장변형계수의 평가가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
