In recent years, due to some excellent properties of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, the use of FRP sheets for strengthening the weak concrete columns have become increasingly popular. Axial loading is the basic assumption in most of the models that are presented for estimating the compression strength of confined concrete columns. However a large number of weak concrete columns in the bending frames are under the combination of both axial and flexural loads. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effects of eccentricity of load on the compressive strength of concrete columns confined by FRP sheets. This research shows that the eccentricity of compression load affects decreasingly the performance of confining FRP jacket in confined columns.

본 연구에서는 고강도강재(HSA800)의 단주 편심압축실험을 통해 휨-압축 부재의 강도를 평가하였다. 편심압축실험은 축력비에 따라 휨-압축의 조합력을 받는 부재의 P-M 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 HSA800강재의 각형강관과 H형강을 대상으로 실험을 수행하였으며, 가력 편심거리를 조정하여 다양한 P-M 조합에 대해 강도평가 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 실험최대 평균응력은 국부좌굴에 의한 최대내력이 결정된 실험체에 대해서는 판폭두께비가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 발현강도의 여유는 축력이 낮을수록 상대적으로 휨강도에 대해 큰 마진을 보이고 있었고, 실험체 모두 현행 설계기준의 P-M 상관관계를 안전측으로 충족하였다.

본 논문에서는 유한요소해석 프로그램 Abaqus를 이용하여 고온과 편심 축하중을 받는 세장한 철근 콘크리트 기둥의 유한요소해석 절차를 제시하고 해석 결과를 비교·분석하였다. 기둥에 축하중과 화재가 가해지는 상황을 해석에 반영하기 위해 Abaqus에서 제공하는 순차 결합 열-응력 해석을 사용하였다. 우선 콘크리트 단면에 대한 열전달 해석을 수행하여 검증한 뒤, 이를 3차원 요소로 확장하고 구조해석과 결합하여 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 과정에서 수렴성 및 정확성에 영향을 미치는 인장 증강 효과와 초기 불완전성을 고려하여 모델링하였다. 해석 결과는 74개 실험 데이터와 비교하였으며, 내화시간을 기준으로 평균 6%의 오차를 나타냄에 따라 유한요소해석을 통해 철근콘크리트 기둥의 내화성능을 예측할 수 있게 되었다.

This study investigates the thermal post-buckling behavior of concrete eccentric annular sector plates reinforced with graphene oxide powders (GOPs). Employing the minimum total potential energy principle, the plates' stability and response under thermal loads are analyzed. The Haber-Schaim foundation model is utilized to account for the support conditions, while the transform differential quadrature method (TDQM) is applied to solve the governing differential equations efficiently. The integration of GOPs significantly enhances the mechanical properties and stability of the plates, making them suitable for advanced engineering applications. Numerical results demonstrate the critical thermal loads and post-buckling paths, providing valuable insights into the design and optimization of such reinforced structures. This study presents a machine learning algorithm designed to predict complex engineering phenomena using datasets derived from presented mathematical modeling. By leveraging advanced data analytics and machine learning techniques, the algorithm effectively captures and learns intricate patterns from the mathematical models, providing accurate and efficient predictions. The methodology involves generating comprehensive datasets from mathematical simulations, which are then used to train the machine learning model. The trained model is capable of predicting various engineering outcomes, such as stress, strain, and thermal responses, with high precision. This approach significantly reduces the computational time and resources required for traditional simulations, enabling rapid and reliable analysis. This comprehensive approach offers a robust framework for predicting the thermal post-buckling behavior of reinforced concrete plates, contributing to the development of resilient and efficient structural components in civil engineering.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different types of unstable loads on core and lower limb muscle activity during squatting. Methods: Nineteen subjects (all females) with resistance experience but no unstable resistance experience participated in the study. Subjects performed squats under three load conditions, and core and lower limb muscle activity was measured during eccentric and concentric contractions. Results: During the eccentric contraction, core and hip flexor activity was significantly higher with the aqua bag than with the barbell or resistance band, and for the quadriceps, the resistance band was significantly higher than the barbell. During the concentric contraction phase, core and hamstring muscle activity was significantly higher with the aqua bag than with the barbell and elastic band (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Squats with an aqua bag increase core and biceps brachii activation and can be recommended as a training method to improve trunk stability.

박벽개단면을 갖는 단일 형강재는 압축재로 될 수 있는데 예를 들면 트러스에서 복재가 이런 경우이다. 이 때에는 부재의 조립 때문에 발생하는 필연적 편심을 구조설계시에는 보통 무시한다. 그러나 편심의 영향은 부재를 설계할 때, 특히 압축부재의 설계에서는 고려되어야 할 사항이다. 비틀림이나 혹은 휨과 비틀림에 의해서 좌굴을 일으키는 압축재의 임계하중은 지배하는 비분방정식의 해를 구함으로써 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 채널([), 등변앵글(L), 리프채널(C)의 편심변화에 따른 내하력을 도표로 나타내기로 한다. 또한 식이복잡하므로 컴퓨터를 이용하여 계산한 후, 그 결과를 SURFER프로그램을 사용하여 그래프로 표시하였다.

In this study, an experimental study is performed to understand the effect of spalling on the structural behavior of fire damaged steel reinforced high strength concrete (SRHSC) columns, and the test results of temperature distributions and the displacements at elevated temperature are analyzed. Toward this goal, three long columns are tested to investigate the effect of various test parameters on structural behavior during the fire, and twelve short columns are tested to investigate residual strength and stiffness after the fire. The test parameters are mixture ratios of polypropylene fiber (0 and 0.1 vol.%), magnitudes of applied loads (concentric loads and eccentric loads), and the time period of exposure to fire (0, 30, 60 and 90 minutes). The experimental results show that there is significant effect of loading on the structural behaviors of columns under fire. The loaded concrete columns result more explosive spalling than the unloaded columns under fire. In particular, eccentrically loaded columns are severely spalled. The temperature distributions of the concrete are not affected by the loading state if there is no spalling. However, the loading state affects the temperature distributions when there is spalling occurred. In addition, it is found that polypropylene fiber prevents spalling of both loaded and unloaded columns under fire. From these experimental findings, an equation of predicting residual load capacity of the fire damaged column is proposed.

In flexural strength design of unconfined reinforced concrete (RC) members, the concrete compressive stress-strain curve is scaled down from the uni-axial stress-strain curve such that the maximum concrete stress adopted in design is less than the uni-axial strength to account for the strain gradient effect. It has been found that the use of this smaller maximum concrete stress will underestimate the flexural strength of unconfined RC members although the safety factors for materials are taken as unity. Herein, in order to investigate the effect of strain gradient on the maximum concrete stress that can be developed in unconfined flexural RC members, several pairs of plain concrete (PC) and RC inverted T-shaped specimens were fabricated and tested under concentric and eccentric loads. From the test results, the maximum concrete stress developed in the eccentric specimens under strain gradient is determined by the modified concrete stress-strain curve obtained from the counterpart concentric specimens based on axial load and moment equilibriums. Based on that, a pair of equivalent rectangular concrete stress block parameters for the purpose of flexural strength design of unconfined RC members is determined.

So far, square concrete filled tubular(CFT) columns have been used in a limited width thickness ratio. The reason is that local buckling occurs in steel tube easily. Once the local buckling occurs, the confinement effect of steel tube on concrete disappears. In this study, we developed welded built-up square steel tube with reinforcement which are placed at the center of the tube width acts as an anchor. 3 specimens of slender welded built-up square CFT columns and 3 specimens of slender welded built-up square steel tube columns were manufactured with parameters of width(B) of steel tube, width thickness ratio(B/t). we conducted a experimental test on the 6 specimens under eccentric load, and evaluated the structural resistance and behavior of 6 specimens.

This paper aims to examine the behavior of slender reinforced concrete columns confined with external glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) sheets under eccentric loads. The experimental work conducted in this paper is an extension to previous work by the author concerning the behavior of eccentrically loaded short columns strengthened with GFRP wrapping. In this study, nine reinforced concrete columns divided into three groups were casted and tested. Three eccentricity ratios corresponding to e/t = 0, 0.10, and 0.50 in one direction of the column were tested in each group. The first group was the control one without confinement with slenderness ratio equal 20. The second group was the same as the first group but fully wrapped with one layer of GFRP laminates. The third group was also fully wrapped with one layer of GFRP laminates but having slenderness ratio equal 15. The experimental results of another two groups from the previous work were used in this study to investigate the difference between short and slender columns. The first was control one with slenderness ratio equal 10 and the second was fully wrapped and having the same slenderness ratio. All specimens were loaded until failure. The ultimate load, axial deformation, strain in steel bars, and failure mechanisms of each specimen were generated and analyzed. The results show that GFRP laminates confining system is less effective with slender columns compared with short one, but this solution is still applied and it can be efficiently utilized especially for slender columns with low eccentric ratio.
