A new design of distributed crack sensors based on the topological change of transmission line cables is presented for the condition assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) structures during and immediately after an earthquake event. This study is primarily focused on the performance of cable sensors under dynamic loading, particularly a feature that allows for some "memory" of the crack history of an RC member. This feature enables the post-earthquake condition assessment of structural members such as RC columns, in which the earthquake-induced cracks are closed immediately after an earthquake event due to gravity loads, and are visually undetectable. Factors affecting the onset of the feature were investigated experimentally with small-scale RC beams under cyclic loading. Test results indicated that both crack width and the number of loading cycles were instrumental in the onset of the memory feature of cable sensors. Practical issues related to dynamic acquisition with the sensors are discussed. The sensors were proven to be fatigue resistant from shake table tests of RC columns. The sensors continued to show useful performance after the columns can no longer support additional loads.

본 연구에서는 지반의 응력상태와 동하중을 실제 지반 및 지진하중과 가장 가깝게 모사하기 위하여 여러 압밀 응력비(K) 조건으로 시료를 구속시킨 후 실지진 하중을 이용해 진동삼축시험을 수행하였다. 시험시 시료는 액상화가 발생 가능한 상대밀도 50%의 주문진 표준사를 사용하였다. 시험은 K를 0.5~1.0까지 변화 시키며 구속된 시료에 Ofunato 지진파와 Hachinohe 지진파를 사용하여 축하중을 변화 시키며 진동삼축시험을 수행하여 과잉간극수압비의 발현 정도에 따라 액상화 저항강도를 판단하였다. 연구 결과 K값이 클수록 과잉간극수압비의 발현이 크게 되었고, 다른 조건이 같을 때 등방구속된 시료에서 과잉간극수압비의 발현이 가장 잘되었다. 즉, 등방 구속된 시료가 이방 구속된 시료보다 동일 조건에서 액상화 저항강도가 더 크다는 사실에 반하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 시험 결과 값을 이용하여 K에 따른 최대과잉간극수압비를 유도할 수 있었고, 그것을 유효구속압과 축차 하중을 이용하여 선형으로 정규화 하였으며, 등방 구속된 시료의 액상화 저항강도로부터 이방 구속된 시료의 액상화 저항강도를 구할 수 있는 보정계수를 제안하였다.

By conducting uniaxial loading cycle tests on the coal rock with outburst proneness, the dilatation characteristics at different loading rates were investigated. Under uniaxial loading and unloading, the lateral deformation of coal rock increased obviously before failure, leading to coal dilatation. Moreover, the post-unloading recovery of the lateral deformation was rather small, suggesting the onset of an accelerated failure. As the loading rate increased further, the ratio of the stress at the dilatation critical point to peak-intensity increased gradually, and the pre-peak volumetric deformation decreased with more severe post-peak damage. Based on the laboratory test results, the lateral deformation of the coals at different depths in the #1302 isolated coal pillars, Yangcheng Coal Mine, was monitored using wall rock displacement meter. The field monitoring result indicates that the coal lateral displacement went through various distinct stages: the lateral displacement of the coals at the depth of 2-6 m went through an "initial increase-stabilize-step up-plateau" series. When the coal wall of the working face was 24-18 m away from the measuring point, the coals in this region entered the accelerated failure stage; as the working face continued advancing, the lateral displacement of the coals at the depth over 6 m increased steadily, i.e., the coals in this region were in the stable failure stage.

최근의 건축 구조물이 고층화, 대형화됨에 따라 초고강도 콘크리트의 적용 및 수요가 증가하고 있는 추세이나, 화재에 대한 취약성을 가지고 있는 초고강도 콘크리트의 열적 특성에 대한 검토는 아직 충분하지 않으며 이에 대한 성능 검토 또한 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 이 논문에서는 초고강도 콘크리트의 고온 재료 모델 개발에 대한 기초적 자료를 제공하기 위하여 상온에서 $800^{\circ}C$까지의 고온 가열을 받은 100 MPa급 초고강도 콘크리트를 대상으로 가열온도의 변화에 따른 잔존압축강도, 탄성계수 및 응력-변형 성상, 반복하중 시의 응력-변형 성상 등 역학적 특성 변화를 확인하였다. 또한, TG/DTA분석과 SEM 촬영으로 콘크리트의 화학 물리적 특성을 확인하고 국내 외의 기존 연구와 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과, 가열온도 $300^{\circ}C$에서 잔존압축강도 및 탄성계수의 급격한 저하를 확인하였으며, 반복하중 하에서는 가열온도 $400^{\circ}C$부터 소성거동이 발생하는 것과 함께 단일하중과 거의 동일한 경향을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. TG/DTA 분석 및 SEM 촬영을 실시한 결과와 기존 연구를 비교 검토한 결과, 콘크리트 내부 조직의 열화와 수분 증발 및 화학반응 등으로 인하여 잔존압축강도 및 탄성계수의 저하가 일어났음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In previous weak-axis moment connection tests, brittle fracture always initiated near the edge of the beam flange groove weld due to force flow towards the stiffer column flanges, which is the opposite pattern as strong-axis moment connections. As part of the China NSFC (51278061) study, this paper tested two full-scale novel weak-axis reduced beam section moment connections, including one exterior frame connection specimen SJ-1 under beam end monotonic loading and one interior frame joint specimen SJ-2 under column top cyclic loading. Test results showed that these two specimens were able to satisfy the demands of FEMA-267 (1995) or ANSI/AISC 341-10 (2010) without experiencing brittle fracture. A parametric analysis using the finite element software ABAQUS was carried out to better understand the cyclic performance of the novel weak-axis reduced beam section moment connections, and the influence of the distance between skin plate and reduced beam section, a, the length of the reduced beam section, b, and the cutting depth of the reduced beam section, c, on the cyclic performance was analyzed. It was found that increasing three parametric values reasonably is beneficial to forming beam plastic hinges, and increasing the parameter a is conducive to reducing stress concentration of beam flange groove welds while increasing the parameters b and c can only reduce the peak stress of beam flange groove welds. The rules recommended by FEMA350 (2000) are suitable for designing the proposed weak-axis RBS moment connection, and a proven calculation formulation is given to determine the thickness of skin plate, the key components in the proposed weak-axis connections. Based on the experimental and numerical results, a design procedure for the proposed weak-axis RBS moment connections was developed.

In-situ neutron diffraction has been employed to examine the effect of strain path on lattice strain evolution during monotonic and cyclic tension in an extruded Mg-8.5wt.%Al alloy. In the cyclic tension test, the maximum applied stress increased with cycle number. Lattice strain data were acquired for three grain orientations, characterized by the plane normal to the stress axis. The lattice strain in the hard {10.0} orientation, which is unfavorably oriented for both basal slip and {10.2} extension twinning, evolved linearly throughout both tests during loading and unloading. The {00.2} orientation exhibited significant relaxation associated with {10.2} extension twinning. Coupled with a linear lattice strain unloading behavior, this relaxation led to increasingly compressive residual strains in the {00.2} orientation with increasing cycle number. The {10.1} orientation is favorably oriented for basal slip, and thus showed a soft grain behavior. Microyielding occurred in the monotonic tension test and in all cycles of the cyclic test at an applied stress of ~50 MPa, indicating that strain hardening in this orientation was not completely stable from one cycle to the next. The lattice strain unloading behavior was linear in the {10.1} orientation, leading to a compressive residual strain after every cycle, which, however, did not increase systematically from one cycle to the next as in the {00.2} orientation.

The experimental study for the interior beam-column joint for high strength conccrete using Belite cement is presented. Test parameters are compressive strength, flexual strength ratio and joint shear stresslevel. The results from cyclic loading tests show different behaviors from the various parameters. Also, The different behaviors on beam-column joint can be achived by the different concrete strength.

This research investigates the hysteretic behavior of composite beams with web opening near the beam end. The objective of this research is to intend a ductile failure around the web opening subjected to cyclic loading prior to the potential brittle failure at the beam-to-colum connection. Experimental tests of two specimens having different location of opening were conducted resulting in better performance of strength and ductility at the specimen of middle opening compared with that of upper opening. Also, comparisons of experimental and theoretical results were carried out.

The deformation behaviors under uniaxial compressive cyclic loading were investigated for fresh rocks and freeze-thaw cycled samples. The Pocheon granite which is one of the most popular building stone in Korea was selected for tests. 0.5 Hz and 50% of dynamic strength were used as test conditions for frequency and fatigue span, respectively. For freezethaw procedure, sample were frozen for 3 hours under the temperature of -2$0^{\circ}C$ and then followed 3 hours thawing under the temperature of +2$0^{\circ}C$. Twenty seven samples were used as untreated and seventy three for freeze-thaw samples. No failure occurred up to 15000 cycles at the stress level of 60% of dynamic strength, indicating that the lowest strees level for fatigue failure may be around 60% of dynamic strength. Permanent strain and damping capacity curves show that there were three stages when rock behaves like under creep. Young's moduli were increased and Possion's ratios were decreased with the increase of the number of cycles. Possion's ratios varied more rapidly than Young's moduli did with the increase of the number of cycles. This may represent that most microcracks developed by fatigue stress are parallel to the axis of loading. The deformation behavior of freeze-thaw cycled samples were almost the same as that of untreated samples. However, the result of freeze-thaw cycled samples showed lower regression constant, indicating that the physical durability of rock is much lowered because of cyclic temperature variation.
