Due to functional requirements, SRC column-RC beam abnormal joints with characteristics of strong beam weak column, variable column section, unequal beam height and staggered height exist in the Steel reinforced concrete (SRC) frame-bent main building structure of thermal power plant (TPP). This paper presents the experimental results of these abnormal joints through cyclic loading tests on five specimens with scaling factor of 1/5. The staggered height and whether adding H-shaped steel in beam or not were changing parameters of specimens. The failure patterns, bearing capacity, energy dissipation and ductile performance were analyzed. In addition, the stress mechanism of the abnormal joint was discussed based on the diagonal strut model. The research results showed that the abnormal exterior joints occurred shear failure and column end hinge flexural failure; reducing beam height through adding H-shaped steel in the beam of abnormal exterior joint could improve the crack resistance and ductility; the abnormal interior joints with different staggered heights occurred column ends flexural failure; the joint with larger staggered height had the higher bearing capacity and stiffness, but lower ductility. The concrete compression strut mechanism is still applicable to the abnormal joints in TPP, but it is affected by the abnormal characteristics.

본 연구에서는 단조하중, 반복하중, 비례하중, 비례하지 않는 하중을 받는 콘크리트 구조물의 3차원 유한요소해석을 위한 비선형 아소성 콘크리트 모델을 개발하였다. 이 구성모델은 등가일축변형률 개념을 기초로 하여 3차원 구성관계를 세 개의 서로 독립된 등가일축 구성관계로 바꾸고 이들 통하여 콘크리트의 거동을 예측하도록 모델되었다. 일축 구성관계는 Willam-Warnke의 파괴면을 이용하여 주응력공간에서 구해진 최대 압축응력으로부터 결정되었다. 특히 중수압축을 따라 재하되는 하중에 대한 콘크리트의 비선형 특성을 예측하기 위하여 파괴면에 캡면을 도입하였다. 일축 구성관계는 Popovis와 Saenz의 모델을 근거로 하여 구속응력이 증가함에 따라 취성에서 연성으로 변화하는 현상을 묘사할 수 있도록 새롭게 유도하였다. 개발된 모델을 모델의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 여러 실험결과와의 비교를 시도하였다. 먼저 일정한 구속응력과 단조하중을 받는 실험결과와 비교하였고, 이축압축실험과 비례하지 않는 하중과 반복하중을 받는 삼축압축 실험결과와 비교하였다.

Recently the geogrids are being used in some large projects such as Inchon International Airport construction, highway construction, and Korean High-Speed Railway construction with not only the merit of simple construction but also reinforcing efficiency for the soft ground. Main function of roadbed is to provide a stable foundation in terms of bearing capacity and settlement for the subballast and ballsat layers. Differential settlement of the railroad should be avoided. The cyclic laboratory model tests were performed to investigate the settlement behavior of geogrid reinforced railroadbed. The ratio of settlement of roadbed under cyclic loading with three layers of geogrid reinforced is less than 1/2 of the roadbed thickness without reinforcement.

This research has been carried out experimently to verify the structural efficiency of the reinforced concrete columns subjected to cyclic lateral loadings in the inelastic range. Sixteen specimens have been used in the tests, the factors such as reinforcing bars, shear-span ratio, axial load level and loading history being taken differently. The load-carrying capacities and the stiffness degradation in the inelastic range by cycle lateral load application have been counted by observing the load-deformation relationship, the crack initiation and propagation and the energy dissipation phenomena.

It is very important to evaluate the reliable nonlinear modulus characteristics of soils not only in the analysis of geotechnical structures under working stress conditions but also for the soil dynamic problems. For the evaluation of modulus characteristics of soils, various tests have been mostly employed in laboratory. However, different testing techniques are likely to have different ranges of reliable strain measurements, different applied stress level, and different loading frequencies, and the modulus of soils can be affected by these variables. For reliable evaluation, therefore, those effects on the modulus need to be considered, and measured values should be effectively adjusted to actual conditions where the soil is working. In this paper, to evaluate the modulus characteristics of soils, laboratory testing such as free-free resonant column (FF-RC), resonant column (RC), torsional shear (TS), static TX, and cyclic M/sub R/ tests were performed. The effects of strain amplitude, loading frequency, loading cycles, confining pressure, density, and water content on modulus were investigated. It is shown that the FF-RC test, which is simple and inexpensive testing technique, can provide a reliable estimation of small strain Young's modulus (E/sub max/), and the modulus evaluated by various laboratory tests are comparable to each other fairly well when the effects of these factors are properly taken into account.

The feasibility of the acoustic emission technique in predicting the residual fatigue life of STS304 stainless steel is presented. Acoustic emission was continuously monitored during the fatigue tests. Considerable acoustic emission occurred during the first few cycles. Acoustic Emission increased rapidly at about 90% of the fatigue life, clear and ample warning of impending fatigue failure was observed. Fatigue damage accumulation was evaluated in terms of an AE cumulative counts. The AE cumulative counts may be taken as an indicator of fatigue cumulative damage. Fatigue damages corresponding to 20, 40, 60 and 80% of the total life were induced at a cyclic stress amplitude. The specimens with and without fatigue damage were subjected to tensile tests. In tensile tests, the total cumulative counts were reduced with increasing fatigue damage. It was observed that the residual tensile strength of material did not change significantly with prior cyclic loading damages.

The conventional PHC pile-footing connection is the weak part because the surface area and stiffness are sharply changed. The Composite PHC pile reinforced with the transverse shear reinforcing bars and infilled-concrete, hereafter ICP pile, has been developed for improving the flexural and shear performance. This paper investigates the cyclic behavior and performance of the ICP pile-footing connection. To investigate the behavior of the connection, one PHC and two ICP specimens were manufactured and then a series of cyclic loading tests were performed. From the test results, it was found that the ICP pile-footing connection exhibited higher cyclic behavior and connection performance compared to the conventional PHC pile-footing connection in terms of ductility ratio, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity.

In order to investigate the effect of the loading rate on the mechanical behavior of SRC shearwalls, we conducted the lateral loading tests on the 1/3 scale model shearwalls whose edge columns were reinforced by H-shaped steel. The specimens were subjected to the reversed cyclic lateral load under a variable axial load. The two types of loading rate, 0.01 cm/sec for the static loading and 1 cm/sec for the dynamic loading were adopted. The failure mode in all specimens was the sliding shear of the in-filled wall panel. The edge columns did not fail in shear. The initial lateral stiffness and lateral load carrying capacity of the shearwalls subjected to the dynamic loading were about 10% larger than those subjected to the static loading. The effects of the arrangement of the H-shaped steel on the lateral load carrying capacity and the lateral load-displacement hysteresis response were not significant.

In superconducting coil applications particularly in wet wound coils, coated conductor (CC) tapes are subjected to different type of stresses. These include hoop stress acting along the length of the CC tape and the Lorentz force acting perpendicular to the CC tape's surface. Since the latter is commonly associated with delamination problem of multi-layered CC tapes, more understanding and attention on the delamination phenomena induced in the case of coil applications are needed. Difference on the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of each constituent layer of the CC tape, the bobbin, and the impregnating materials is the main causes of delamination in CC tapes when subjected to thermal cycling. The CC tape might also experience cyclic loading due to the energizing scheme (on - off) during operation. In the design of degradation-free superconducting coils, therefore, characterization of the delamination behaviors including mechanism and strength in REBCO CC tapes becomes critical. In this study, transverse tensile tests were conducted under different loading conditions using different size of upper anvils on the GdBCO CC tapes. The mechanical and electromechanical delamination strength behaviors of the CC tapes under transverse tensile loading were examined and a two-parameter Weibull distribution analysis was conducted in statistical aspects. As a result, the CC tape showed similar range of mechanical delamination strength regardless of cross-head speed adopted. On the other hand, cyclic loading might have affected the CC tape in both upper anvil sizes adopted.

해양지반에 설치된 구조물은 육상지반에 설치된 구조물과는 달리 해상에서의 파하중, 풍하중, 그리고 조류하중 등과 같은 장기 반복하중을 고려해야 된다. 이에 해양지반에 설치된 구조물을 설계하기 위해서는 장기 반복하중을 받는 지반의 거동을 분석하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 반복단순전단시험을 수행하여 구속압에 따른 장기반복하중에 대한 지반거동을 분석하고, 구속압에 따른 파괴특성을 쉽게 확인할 수 있는 3차원 설계파괴곡선을 작성하였다. 분석결과, 동일한 반복전단응력비와 평균전단응력비 조건이어도 구속압에 따라 설계파괴곡선의 위치가 차이가 있었으며, 파괴에 도달하는 반복하중횟수가 구속압에 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다. 작성한 구속압에 따른 3차원 설계파괴곡선은 구속압에 따른 설계파괴곡선의 경향성과 대략적인 값을 추정할 수 있다.
