In this paper, the free vibration characteristics of longitudinally corrugated cylindrical shells is investigated by the theoretical analysis. The equivalent homogenization model is adapted to investigate the overall mechanical behavior of these corrugated shells. The corrugated element can be represented as an orthotropic material. Both the effective extensional and flexural stiffness of this equivalent orthotropic material are considered in the analysis. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed theoretical approach, the theoretical results are compared with those from 3D finite element analysis using ANSYS commercial code. Some numerical results are presented to check the effect of the geometric properties.

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318-11 permits the use of the moment magnifier method for computing the design ultimate strength of slender reinforced concrete columns that are part of braced frames. This computed strength is influenced by the column effective length factor K, the equivalent uniform bending moment diagram factor $C_m$ and the effective flexural stiffness EI among other factors. For this study, 2,960 simple braced frames subjected to short-term loads were simulated to investigate the effect of using different methods of calculating the effective length factor K when computing the strength of columns in these frames. The theoretically computed column ultimate strengths were compared to the ultimate strengths of the same columns computed from the ACI moment magnifier method using different combinations of equations for K and EI. This study shows that for computing the column ultimate strength, the current practice of using the Jackson-Moreland Alignment Chart is the most accurate method for determining the effective length factor. The study also shows that for computing the column ultimate strength, the accuracy of the moment magnifier method can be further improved by replacing the current ACI equation for EI with a nonlinear equation for EI that includes variables affecting the column stiffness and proposed in an earlier investigation.

본 연구는 도로안전 시설물의 풍하중에 의한 손상발생 사례를 토대로 현행 도로안전 시설물의 구조적 휨 성능을 평가하고 이에 대한 부재별 휨 성능개선을 위한 연구이다. 본 연구의 대상구조물로는 대표적인 도로안전시설물이며 풍하중에 대한 선행 피해사례가 밝혀진 방음벽 지주프레임을 대상으로 고려하였으며 이들 지주프레임의 휨 구조성능 및 형상설계에 대한 평가를 우선적으로 수행하였다. 본 연구평가 결과에서 나타난 현행 보강재의 구조적 성능을 토대로 중량 대비 구조적 강성이 우수한 유리섬유 강화플라스틱 (GFRP)을 활용하여 다양한 보강 형태에 따른 성능개선방법을 해석 및 실험적 연구를 통하여 수행하였다. 그 결과 효율적 성능개선을 위한 GFRP 적용방법의 경우 구조적, 시공적 측면에서 효율적인 것으로 평가되었고 자체적인 형상단면 최적설계를 통한 개선방법도 성능보강에 효과적인 것으로 해석적으로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서 적용된 GFRP 단면보강 및 최적형상설계 연구는 향후 노후 도로안전 시설물의 풍하중 또는 태풍으로 인한 피해예방을 위한 기초자료로서 효율적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Ten beams bonded with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates were tested under cyclic loading with the load range and the FRP reinforcement ratio as test parameters. The maximum load level during cyclic loading was 55%, 65% and 75% of the static flexural strength while the minimum load level was kept constant at 35%. Deflections of the beams at the end of 525000 cycles were found to increase by 16% and 44% when the maximum load level was increased from 55% to 65% and 75% of the static flexural strength, respectively. Beams with FRP reinforcement ratios of 0.64% and 1.28% were found to exhibit lesser deflections of about 15% and 20%, respectively, compared to a similar beam without FRP reinforcement. An analytical approach based on cycle-dependent effective moduli of elasticity of concrete and FRP reinforcement is presented and found to predict the deflections of the test beams well.

2거더 철도교량의 사용성, 특히 부모멘트 영역의 휨강성을 증대시키기 위해서 이중합성단면이 제안되었다. 이 논문에서는 제안된 이중합성구조를 갖는 5m-5m의 연속 2거더 교량 모델에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 교량 모델에 대한 실험적 연구를 통해서 유효폭,전단연결부, 이중합성단면의 극한강도에 대한 설계 고려사항을 연구하였다. 하부 콘크리트 바다판의 전단열결부는 완전합성 거동을 나타내어 제안된 경험식의 타당성을 검증하였다. 이중합성단면의 휨거동을 통해서 하부 콘크리트 슬래브의 유효폭은 압축을 받는 콘크리트 슬래브의 유효폭으로 계산될 수 있다. 교량모델의 극한 휨 강도 평가에서 이중합성단면의 완전소성해석이 타당함을 밝혔다. 실험결 과에 근거한 설계사항들이 제안되었다.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of bond-strengthening hooks as a new method to increase bond strength along flexural reinforcing bars in reinforced concrete (RC) beams and columns. The RC members, which consisted of 1,300 MPa-class spirals as shear reinforcement, often suffered from bond splitting failure. The proposed method attempts to increase confining stiffness around the flexural bars by placing U-shaped hooks and to prevent premature bond splitting failure. Twelve specimens with varied amounts and sizes of the hooks were prepared to verify the strengthening effectiveness under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions. The test result indicated that the hooks increased the bond strength along the flexural bars although the strengthening effectiveness was limited by effective reinforcement ratio $P_{be}$. This limit is determined by size of stress-transmitting zones of concrete around anchors of the hooks. Anchors of the hooks are recommended to be longer than twelve times the hook diameter and inserted deeper than a quarter of the member depth (D/4). Proposed design equations provide modest estimates of the shear strengths.

High-strength concrete (HSC) is becoming more popular in the construction of beams and columns of tall buildings because of its higher stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio. However, as HSC is more brittle than normal-strength concrete (NSC), it may adversely affect the flexural ductility and deformability of concrete members. Extended from a series of theoretical study conducted on flexural ductility of concrete beams, the authors would in this paper investigate the effects of some critical factors including the degree of reinforcement, confining pressure, concrete and steel yield strength on the flexural deformability of NSC and HSC beams. The deformability, expressed herein in terms of normalised rotation capacity defined as the product of ultimate curvature and effective depth, is investigated by a parametric study using nonlinear moment-curvature analysis. From the results, it is evident that the deformability of concrete beams increases as the degree of reinforcement decreases and/or confining pressure increases. However, the effects of concrete and steel yield strength are more complicated and dependent on other factors. Quantitative analysis of all these effects on deformability of beams has been carried out and formulas for direct deformability evaluation are developed. Lastly, the proposed formulas are compared with available test results to verify its applicability.

This paper presents findings from an experimental study that was focused on evaluating the use of Forta-Ferro (FF) and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fibers on the response of moderate and special ductility beams under load cycles. For this reason, eight full-scale specimens, identical in geometry, were subjected to gradual cyclic loading. The specimens included two plain concrete beams with medium and special ductility, three beams with medium ductility and stirrup spacing of one-quarter the effective depth (d/4) and three beams with special ductility, and stirrup spacing of one-half the effective depth (d/2), strengthened with FF and PVA fibers separately. The use of fibers was aimed at reducing the amount of shear reinforcement in flexural members. Here, the variation of parameters including the maximum strength, ultimate strength, stiffness, ductility, damage index, energy dissipation, and equivalent damping was studied. Utilizing FF and PVA fibers improved the performance in beams with moderate ductility when compared to those beams with special ductility. Therefore, in special ductility beams, fibers can be used instead of crossties and in moderate ductility beams, fibers can be added to reduce the ratio of shear reinforcement. Furthermore, increasing the stirrup spacing in the moderate ductility beams from d/4 to d/2 and adding 0.6% FF or 1.5% PVA fibers resulted in behavior similar to those of the moderate ductility beam.

적층 복합재료 주름판에 대한 진동특성을 이론적 방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 고려된 주름 형상은 사다리꼴을 기본으로 삼각형, 사각형 및 요각 사다리꼴형이다. 3차원 주름 구조물을 해석적으로 기계적 거동을 표현하는 것이 매우 어렵기 때문에 본 해석에서는 주름판의 진동특성을 분석하기 위해 등가균질모델을 적용하였다. 이를 위해 단위 주름을 직교이방성재료로 등가시켰으며, 해석에서 등가 신장 강성 및 굽힘 강성이 모두 고려되었다. 이론해석 결과의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 셸요소를 적용한 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였으며, 두 방법을 이용해 얻은 고유진동수 및 진동형상을 비교하였다. 주름판의 기하형상에 따른 영향을 분석하기 위해 다양한 수치예가 제시되었다.
