건물외피 발생하는 열교현상은 건물의 단열성능 및 외피의 내구성에 영향을 미치며, 국내의 일반적인 주거형식인 공동주택의 발코니에 있어서 이러한 열교현상은 중요하게 고려되고 있다. 이와 같이 내 외부 발코니 슬래브 사이에서 발생하는 열교현상을 최소화하기 위한 목적으로 열교차단장치가 개발되었으며 다수의 건설현장에서 적용되고 있다. 철근콘크리트 슬래브 벽-슬래브 접합부에 열교차단장치를 적용함으로써 건물의 단열성능을 향상될 수 있으나 풍하중과 같은 양방향의 하중에 의해 열교차단장치 삽입부위가 적합한 구조성능을 확보하고 있는지에 대한 검증이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 슬래브에 적용된 열교차단장치의 구조성능을 확인하기 위해 변위제어 방식으로 30 싸이클의 반복하중을 가력하였다. 열교차단장치가 삽입된 접합부는 요구되는 구조성능을 확보하며, 최대 모멘트강도, 에너지소산능력, 연성비가 기존의 철근콘크리트 슬래브와 비교하여 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

기존의 액상화 평가법은 대부분 미국, 일본, 그리고 유럽과 같이 지진 발생빈도가 높고 그로 인한 액상화 피해가 빈번한 국가에서 주도적으로 연구되어왔다. 이런 지역적 특성을 토대로 개발된 액상화 평가방법들은 높은 지진규모(M=7.5)에 바탕을 두고 있다. 국내의 경우, 1997년 실제적인 내진 연구가 시작된 이래 액상화 평가의 구체적 규정은 항만시설의 내진설계 표준서(1999)에 언급된 바 있으나 이는 문헌연구를 통해 제시된 것으로 실제적이지 못하다. 그러므로, 국내 적합한 설계기준을 작성하기 위해서는 지진피해자료의 부족을 국내 지반을 대상으로 한 동적실내시험을 통하는 것이 바람직하며, 일반적인 정현하중 진동시험 보다 실제 지진하중 재하 시험이 훨씬 효과적일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 지진파 고유의 특성을 적용한 진동삼축 시험을 통하여 상대밀도와 세립분함유량의 변화에 따른 액상화 저항강도를 산정하였다. 실험결과를 국내의 대표적인 항만지역의 지진응답 해석 결과와 비교 분석하고 중진지역에 적합한 액상화 평가의 생략기준을 제시하였다. 또한 실제 지진하중 삼축실험 결과를 이용하여 국내 여건에 적합한 지진규모 보정계수를 제안하였다.

무량판 슬래브 구조는 시공의 단순함과 낮은 층고, 그리고 다양한 평면구성의 용이함으로 인하여 구조적으로 효과적이나 슬래브-기둥 접합부가 중력하중에 의한 펀칭전단파괴와 횡하중의 불균형모멘트에 의한 편심전단파괴에 취약한 단점이 있다. 이러한 무량판 슬래브의 취약점을 방지하기 위하여 많은 보강공법들이 개발되었으나, 보강공법들은 구조적 성능과 경제성, 그리고 시공성을 모두 만족시키기지는 못하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 래티스를 이용한 무량판 구조의 슬래브-기둥 접합부 보강공법을 제시하였다. 주기하중 실험을 통하여 래티스 보강공법의 구조적 성능을 증명하였으며 같은 구조설계 조건에 대하여 스터럽과 스터드레일, 그리고 래티스를 이용한 공법을 적용해 봄으로써 경제성을 입증하였다.

In steel framed-tube structures (SFTSs), the plastic hinges at beam-ends cannot be adequately improved because of the large cross sections of spandrel beams, which results in the lower ductility and energy dissipation capacities of traditional SFTSs. To address this drawback, high-strength steel fabricated SFTSs with bolted web-connected replaceable shear links (HSFTS-SLs) have been proposed. In this system, shear links use conventional steel and are placed in the middle of the deep spandrel beams to act as energy dissipative components. In this study, 2/3-scaled HSFTS-SL specimens were fabricated, and cyclic loading tests were carried out to study the seismic performance of both specimens. The finite element models (FEMs) of the two specimens were established and the numerical results were compared with the test results. The results showed that the specimens had good ductility and energy dissipation capacities due to the reliable deformation capacities. The specimens presented the expected failure modes. Using a shorter shear link can provide a higher load-carrying capacity and initial elastic lateral stiffness but induces lower ductility and energy dissipation capacity in HSFTS-SLs. The performance of the specimens was comparable to that of the original sub-structure specimens after replacing shear links. Additionally, the expected post-earthquake recoverability and resilience of the structures could be achieved by replacing shear links. The acceptable residual interstory drift that allows for easy replacement of the bolted web-connected shear link was 0.23%. The bolted web-connected shear links had reliable hysteretic responses and deformation capacities. The connection rotation had a notable contribution to total link rotation. The results of the numerical analysis run for the proposed FEMs were consistent with the test results. It showed that the proposed FEMs could be used to investigate the seismic performance of the HSFTS-SL.

The fifth wheel coupler is a heavy automotive coupling structure which connects a tractor and a trailer used for heavy-duty trucks widely. It is subjected to various loads simultaneously such as rolling, pitching and yawing loads as well as coupling frictional and impact loadings. Most of existing couplers have been overdesigned and, therefore, it is necessary to reduce the dead weight to increase the fuel efficiency. The topology optimization was applied in order to find conceptual layout designs which could show major load paths and ribs locations, and then the size structural optimization was performed in order to determine the heights and thicknesses of coupler ribs with the predetermined various loading conditions for the development of a new slim coupler with a minimum weight and high enough strength and stiffness. As the results of the topology optimum design, an efficient new coupling structure for truck trailers was designed. The weight of the new fifth wheel coupler was reduced by 4.9 %, compared with the existing one, even though all strength requirements were satisfied. The fatigue test of the new coupler was performed with cyclic vertical loads (+78.4 to +235.2 kN) and horizontal loads (-91.2 to +91.2 kN) simultaneously at 1 Hz and the life of 2,000,000 cycles were achieved without failure.

This paper aims to investigate the seismic performance of the prestressed steel strips retrofitted RC beam-column joints. Two series of joint specimens were conducted under compression load and reversed cyclic loading through quasi-static tests. Based on the test results, the seismic behavior of the strengthened joints specimens in terms of the failure modes, hysteresis response, bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation performance and damage level were focused. Moreover, the effects of the amount of the prestressed steel strips and the axial compression ratio on seismic performance of retrofitted specimens were analyzed. It was shown that the prestressed steel strips retrofitting method could significantly improve the seismic behavior of the RC joint because of the large confinement provided by prestressed steel strips in beam-column joints. The decrease of the spacing and the increase of the layer number of the prestressed steel strips could result in a better seismic performance of the retrofitted joint specimens. Moreover, increasing the axial compression ration could enhance the peak load, stiffness and the energy performance of the joint specimens. Furthermore, by comparison with the specimens reinforced with CFRP sheets, the specimens reinforced with prestressed steel strips was slightly better in seismic performance and cost-saving in material and labor. Therefore, this prestressed steel strips retrofitting method is quite helpful to enhance the seismic behavior of the RC beam-column joints with reducing the cost and engineering time.

Energy induced by minor earthquake and micro vibration cannot be dissipated by traditional buckling-restrained braces (BRBs). To solve this problem, a new type of hybrid passive control device, named as VE-BRB, which is configured by a BRB with high-damping viscoelastic (VE) layers, is developed and studied. Theoretical analysis, performance tests, numerical simulation and case analysis are conducted to study the seismic behavior of VE-BRBs. The results indicate that the combination of hysteretic and damping devices lead to a multi-phased nature and good performance. VE-BRB's working state can be divided into three phases: before yielding of the steel core, VE layers provide sufficient damping ratio to mitigate minor vibrations; after yielding of the steel core, the steel's hysteretic deformations provide supplemental dissipative capacity for structures; after rupture of the steel core, VE layers are still able to work normally and provide multiple security assurance for structures. The simulation results agreed well with the experimental results, validating the finite element analysis method, constitutive models and the identified parameters. The comparison of the time history analysis on a 6-story frame with VE-BRBs and BRBs verified the advantages of VE-BRB for seismic protection of structures compared with traditional BRB. In general, VE-BRB had the potential to provide better control effect on structural displacement and shear in all stages than BRB as expected.

본 논문은 콘크리트충전 각형강관 기둥-H형강보 접합부로서 기둥을 관통하는 철근과 T-스티프너를 외부에 보강한 새로운 접합부상세를 제안하고, 5개의 십자형 접합부 실험체를 역대칭 반복가력 실험하였다. 실험변수는 T-스티프너의 길이(200, 250mm), 철근의 직경(HDl6, 19)이다. 실험결과 T-스티프너 길이의 증가가 철근의 강도비 증가보다 내력 및 강성에 미치는 영향이 보다 크고, T-스티프너의 보강만으로도 보붕괴형의 안정적인 이력거동을 나타내었다. 또한, T-스티프너와 강관 코너부의 용접 시에는 취성파괴의 가능성에 주의하고, 본 논문에서 제안한 용접방법을 따르는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 부착되어 있거나 혹은 부착되어 있지 않는 텐돈을 갖고 있는 프리스트래스트 콘크리트 구조체의 해석이 가능한 프로그램을 개발하는데 있다. 이를 위해서 먼저 콘크리트, 철근, 그리고 텐돈등의 반복하중에 대한 모델을 선정 개발하고, 텐돈이 부착되어 있지 않는 경우에 그 응력 및 변형도를 보다 정확하게 해석할 수 있는 복합유한요소법을 유도하였다. 이러한 복합 유한요소법을 사용하였을때 요소의 변형 형상을 가정하지 않고도 각 단면들의 변형을 결정할 수 있어 요소의 길이가 기존의 유한요소법에 비하여 상당히 길어질 수 있다. 이러한 복합유한요소법을 가능하게 하기 위해서 다양한 형태의 적분 방법이 프로그램되었다. 그리고 텐돈이 부착되어 있지 않는 경우 그효과를 예측할 수 있는 방법이 개발되었다. 끝으로, 실제 구조체에 대한 해석결과 및 실제시험에 대한 해석결과를 비교하여 프로그램의 적용성을 검토하였다.

With recent growing interests in the Performance-Based Seismic Design and Assessment Methodology, more realistic modeling of a structural system is deemed essential in analyzing, designing, and evaluating both newly constructed and existing buildings under seismic events. Consequently, a shallow foundation element becomes an essential constituent in the implementation of this seismic design and assessment methodology. In this paper, a contact interface fiber section element is presented for use in modeling soil-shallow foundation systems. The assumption of a rigid footing on a Winkler-based soil rests simply on the Euler-Bernoulli's hypothesis on sectional kinematics. Fiber section discretization is employed to represent the contact interface sectional response. The hyperbolic function provides an adequate means of representing the stress-deformation behavior of each soil fiber. The element is simple but efficient in representing salient features of the soil-shallow foundation system (sliding, settling, and rocking). Two experimental results from centrifuge-scale and full-scale cyclic loading tests on shallow foundations are used to illustrate the model characteristics and verify the accuracy of the model. Based on this comprehensive model validation, it is observed that the model performs quite satisfactorily. It resembles reasonably well the experimental results in terms of moment, shear, settlement, and rotation demands. The hysteretic behavior of moment-rotation responses and the rotation-settlement feature are also captured well by the model.
