This paper discusses the applicability of Acoustic Emission (AE) to assess the damage in reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to complex dynamic loadings such as those induced by earthquakes. The AE signals recorded during this type of event can be complicated due to the arbitrary and random nature of seismicity and the fact that the signals are highly contaminated by many spurious sources of noise. This paper demonstrates that by properly filtering the AE signals, a very good correlation can be found between AE and damage on the RC structure. The basic experimental data used for this research are the results of fourteen seismic simulations conducted with a shake table on an RC slab supported on four steel columns. The AE signals were recorded by several low-frequency piezoelectric sensors located on the bottom surface of the slab. The evolution of damage under increasing values of peak acceleration applied to the shake table was monitored in terms of AE and dissipated plastic strain energy. A strong correlation was found between the energy dissipated by the concrete through plastic deformations and the AE energy calculated after properly filtering the signals. For this reason, a procedure is proposed to analyze the AE measured in a RC structure during a seismic event so that it can be used for damage assessment.

Recently, global railway car makers are competing desperately in developing high-speed railway vehicles. Ensuring passenger safety during a crash is essential. The design and the manufacturing of energy absorbing components are becoming more and more important. A deformation tube is a typical passive energy absorbing component for railway cars. In the current study the slab method was used to predict the energy absorbing capability of a deformation tube during the early design stage. The usefulness of the prediction method is verified through the comparisons between the results of FE simulations and those of the prediction method.

The purpose of this research was focused on substantiating an effects of tendon-layouts and compressed stress($=f_{pc}$) induced by post-tensioning on seismic performance of post-tensioned flat plate slab-column connection designed as non-participating system. To accomplish this purpose, an experimental research of flat plate exterior slab-column connections subjected to gravity load and reversed lateral displacement history are presented. As a result, tendon-layout is a main variable to influence failure mechanism, dissipated energy and lateral deformation capacity. Furthermore, compressed stress ($=f_{pc}$) induced by post-tensioning enhanced the seismic performance of flat plate slab.

In the seismical capacity evaluation for RC structure wall-slab joint is very important factor. Because lateral load is resistance element and gravity load resistance element are acted mutually in the wall-slab joint. In this paper, to improve the seismic capacity of the wall-slab joint in the existing wall type apartments experiment which improve and retrofit a seismic capacity by unequal angle bracing and carbon sheet attachment are carried out. These methods are also economic and simple in mitigating seismic hazard, improve earthquake-resistance performance, and reduce risk level of building occupants. From the experimental results, the change of strength, degration of stiffness, and energy dissipation are evaluated. It can be concluded that these methods are effective in improving the seismic performance.

The progressive collapse resistance performance of a steel structure constructed using the moment frame with the WUF-B connection and the composite slabs was evaluated. GSA 2003 was adapted for the evaluation. Additionally the structural robustness and the sensitivity against the progressive collapse were analyzed. In the numerical analysis, a reduced model comprised of the beam and spring elements for WUF-B connection was adapted. The composite slab was modeled using the composite-shell element. Instead of the time-consuming dynamic analysis for the effect of the sudden column removal, the equivalent energy-based static analysis was effectively applied. The analysis results showed that the structure was the most vulnerable to in the case of the internal column removal, however it satisfied the chord rotation criterion of GSA 2003 due to the contribution of the composite slab which improved the stiffness of structure. In the robustness evaluation, the structural performance showed more than 2.5 times of the requirement according to GSA 2003, and the structural sensitivity analysis indicated the decrease of 33% of the initial structural performance.

In this paper, the effect of different steel bar configurations on the quasi-static punching and impact response of concrete slabs was studied. A total of forty RC square slab specimens were cast in two groups of concrete strengths of 40 and 63 MPa. In each group of twenty specimens, ten specimens were reinforced at the back face (singly reinforced), and the remaining specimens were reinforced on both faces of the slab (doubly reinforced). Two rebar spacing of 25 and 100 mm, with constant reinforcement ratio and effective depth, were used in both singly and doubly reinforced slab specimens. The specimens were tested against the normal impact of cylindrical projectiles of hemispherical nose shape. Slabs were also quasi-statically tested in punching using the same projectile, which was employed for the impact testing. The experimental response illustrates that 25 mm spaced rebars are effective in (i) decreasing the local damage and overall penetration depth, (ii) increasing the absorption of impact energy, and (iii) enhancing the ballistic limit of RC slabs. The ballistic limit was predicted using the quasi-static punching test results of slab specimens showing a strong correlation between the dynamic perforation energy and the energy required for quasi-static perforation of slabs.

터널의 숏크리트 라이닝이나 포장 콘크리트 보강용으로 요접철망(wire mesh)을 대신해서 강섬유가 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 강섬유 보강으로 인한 인성평가 대상 구조물을 slab panel 구조($60{\times}60{\times}10$cm)로 하고, 강섬유 혼입률은 콘크리트 용적의 0.5% ~ 2%로 다양화하였다. 이 때 사용한 강섬유는 Dramix ZC type으로 직경은 0.8mm, 길이는 60mm이다. 강섬유 효과의 상대평가를 위한 용접철망(wire mesh)보강은 상면, 하면, 상하면 보강으로 하였다. 이들 실험 결과를 각국의 인성 평가 방법으로 비교 검토한 결과 슬래브(slab) 시험체 적용을 위한 EFNARC의 방법은 25mm의 처짐까지 측정하는 것이 너무 큰 것으로 평가되었고, 보의 휨인성 평가법을 적용하여 검토한 결과에서는 Johnston(II)방법에 의한 $I_{5.5}$ 가장 적절하였으며, JCI-SF4방법에서 지간의 1/150까지 측정하는 것은 너무 작았다. 또한 강섬유로 용접철망(wire mesh)을 효과적으로 대치할 수 있음을 알 수 있었고, 인성효과에 유용한 강섬유 혼입량은 0.5% ~ 1%범위에 있는 것으로 나타났다.

궤도가 역사의 상부에서 연결되는 선하역사 형식의 경우 일반 역사 구조형식과 달리 진동이 직접 전달되는 구조적 특성으로 인하여 진동 및 소음레벨이 타 형식의 역사와 대비하여 상대적으로 높은 상황이다. 따라서 구조물 진동과 이로 인해 발생되는 구조물 기인 소음에 대한 특성 파악과 그 결과를 활용한 저감 방안의 수립이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 슬래브와 진동을 절연시키는 구조형식의 플로팅 슬래브에 대하여 외력에 의한 가진 시 발생하는 구조적 진동과 이로 인한 구조물 기인 소음의 상관성을 고찰하고자 실험과 해석을 수행하였다. 표준형 및 플로팅 슬래브를 제작하여 가진함으로써 진동응답과 소음을 계측하였고, 수치해석, 유한요소법과 SEA 기법을 활용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다, 실험 및 해석을 통하여 슬래브의 동적 구조적 특성, 구조물 진동과 소음의 상관성, 플로팅 슬래브의 저감 효과 등에 관한 결과를 도출하였다.

The design of a concentration system for a solar side-pumped slab laser was investigated. The side size of the slab laser medium is 2 mm × 20 mm. Based on the principle of the edge ray, a secondary concentrating system consisting of a rectangular parabolic mirror (RPM) and a rectangular dielectric-filled compound parabolic concentrator (RDCPC) was demonstrated. The focal length of RPM is 1200 mm and the size is 734 mm × 2000 mm. The outlet size of the RDCPC is 2 mm × 20 mm. The concentration effect was analyzed by using Tracepro optical software. The results showed that the concentration efficiency reached 81.3% and the uniformity of the spot was 91.4% after optimization. This design of concentration system is of great reference value for a solar side-pumped slab laser.
