Six large scale models of conventionally reinforced concrete coupling beams with span/depth ratios ranging from 1.17 to 2.00 were tested under monotonically applied shear loads to study their nonlinear behavior using a newly developed test method that maintained equal rotations at the two ends of the coupling beam specimen and allowed for local deformations at the beam-wall joints. By conducting the tests under displacement control, the post-peak behavior and complete load-deflection curves of the coupling beams were obtained for investigation. It was found that after the appearance of flexural and shear cracks, a deep coupling beam would gradually transform itself from an ordinary beam to a truss composed of diagonal concrete struts and longitudinal and transverse steel reinforcement bars. Moreover, in a deep coupling beam, the local deformations at the beam-wall joints could contribute significantly (up to the order of 50%) to the total deflection of the coupling beam, especially at the post-peak stage. Finally, although a coupling beam failing in shear would have a relatively low ductility ratio of only 5 or even lower, a coupling beam failing in flexure could have a relatively high ductility ratio of 10 or higher.

In this paper spacing and width of flexural cracks in reinforced concrete beams are determined using two-dimensional finite element analysis. At early loading stages on the beam the primary crack spacing is based on the slip length, which is the development length required to resist the steel stress increment that occurs at a cracked section on the formation of the first flexural crack. A semi-empirical formula is presented in this paper for the determination of the slip length for a given beam. At higher load levels, the crack spacing is based on critical crack spacing, which is defined as the particular crack spacing that would produce a concrete tensile stress equal to the flexural strength of concrete. The resulting crack width is calculated as the relative difference in extensions of steel reinforcement and adjacent concrete evaluated at the cracked section. Finally a comparative study is undertaken, which indicates that the spacing and width of cracks calculated by this method agree well with values measured by other investigators.

Concrete wedge anchor is one of structural components to transfer load of an object attached to a primary structure. Recently, as retrofitting concrete structure is becoming a main issue, mechanical capacity of the anchor should be secured enough. In spite of the structural safety of Cast-in-place anchor, Post-installed anchor is more widely used with ease of placement or change of construction method. However, the post-installed anchors domestically produced have excessive coefficient of variation over 15% of ultimate tensile strength, which yields deteriorated quality in tensile strength. In this research, tensile strength test of anchors, which have improved sleeve and header and produced by a domestic company, was conducted for two variables, concrete strength and effective embedment depth. As a result, enough coefficients of variations were secured in all specimens. Also, in comparison to foreign products, the domestic ones have equal or higher performance.

In this paper, it was presented an investigation on the load-settlement and vertical stress analysis of the ring footings on the loose sand bed by conducting both laboratory model tests and numerical analyses. A total of twenty tests were conducted in geotechnical laboratory and numerical analyses of the test models were carried out using the finite element package Plaxis 3D to find the ultimate capacities of the ring footings. Moreover, the results obtained from both foregoing methods were compared with theoretical results given in the literature. The effects of the ring width on bearing capacity of the footings and vertical stresses along the depth were investigated. Consequently, the experimental observations are in a very good agreement with the numerical and theoretical results. The variation in the bearing capacity is little when $r_i/R_o$ <0.3. That means, when the ring width ratio, $r_i/R_o$, is equal to 0.3, this option can provide more economic solutions in the applications of the ring footings. Since, this corresponds to less concrete consumption in the ring footing design.

This paper presents sets of explicit analytical equations that compute the static displacements of nanobeams by adopting the nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen within the framework of Euler Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories. Castigliano's theorem is applied to an equivalent Virtual Local Beam (VLB) made up of linear elastic material to compute the displacements. The first derivative of the complementary energy of the VLB with respect to a virtual point load provides displacements. The displacements of the VLB are assumed equal to those of the nonlocal beam if nonlocal effects are superposed as additional stress resultants on the VLB. The illustrative equations of displacements are relevant to a few types of loadings combined with a few common boundary conditions. Several equations of displacements, thus derived, matched precisely in similar cases with the equations obtained by other analytical methods found in the literature. Furthermore, magnitudes of maximum displacements are also in excellent agreement with those computed by other numerical methods. These validated the superposition of nonlocal effects on the VLB and the accuracy of the derived equations.

This paper aims to compare the mean object size of M/G/1/PS model with that of M/BP/1 model used in the web service. The mean object size is one of important measure to control and manage web service economically. M/G/1/PS model utilizes the processor sharing in which CPU rotates in round-robin order giving time quantum to multiple tasks. M/BP/1 model uses the Bounded Pareto distribution to describe the web service according to file size. We may infer that the mean waiting latencies of M/G/1/PS and M/BP/1 model are equal to the mean waiting latency of the deterministic model using the round robin scheduling with the time quantum. Based on the inference, we can find the mean object size of M/G/1/PS model and M/BP/1 model, respectively. Numerical experiments show that when the system load is smaller than the medium, the mean object sizes of the M/G/1/PS model and the M/BP/1 model become the same. In particular, when the shaping parameter is 1.5 and the lower and upper bound of the file size is small in the M/BP/1 model, the mean object sizes of M/G/1/PS model and M/BP/1 model are the same. These results confirm that it is beneficial to use a small file size in a web service.

There are many examples of steel structures subjected to severe environmental conditions with bolted connections directly exposed to extreme climatic agents such as freeze-thaw cycles or low temperatures. Some examples are: steel bridges, mining transfer towers, wind towers... These service conditions neither are included in Eurocode 3 or EN1090-2, nor there are references in other international standards. In this experimental research, 46 specimens of non-slip joints with HV M20 bolts and four different types of contact surfaces have been studied. Half of the specimens were subjected to fourteen twelve-hours freeze-thaw cycles, with periodic immersion in water and temperature oscillation. Subsequently, half of the connections were subjected to a slip test under monotonic load at temperature of -20 ± 0.5 ℃ and the other half at room temperature. The results were compared with others equal joints not subjected to freeze-thaw cycles and kept at room temperature for the same time. This finally resulted in 4 sets of joints by combining the freeze-thaw degradation or not with the low-temperature conditions or not in the slip testing. Therefore, a total of 16 different conditions were studied by also considering 4 different contact surfaces between the joined plates in each set. The results obtained show influence of environmental conditions on the slip resistant capacity of these joints.

현행 도로교설계기준의 철근콘크리트 교각 심부구속 횡방향철근량 산정식은 중심축력을 받는 기둥에서 콘크리트 피복이 탈락된 후 콘크리트 심부만으로 저항하는 축강도가 콘크리트 피복이 탈락되기 이전의 축강도 이상이 되기 위하여 필요한 횡구속 철근비로서 콘크리트 압축강도, 횡방향철근 항복강도 및 단면적비율을 주요변수로 고려하고 있다. 이들 변수 중 피복두께에 따라 달라지는 전체단면적과 심부단면적의 단면적비율은 압축파괴 영역에서의 강도발현 측면을 고려한 변수이므로 교각과 같이 작용축력이 상대적으로 낮아 축력보다는 모멘트에 의해서 지배되는 인장파괴 영역의 연성거동 측면에서는 단면적비율이 미치는 영향은 크지 않다. 그러나 설계기준의 횡방향철근량 산정식 자체가 교각의 내진거동에 중요한 요소인 연성능력을 직접적으로 고려한 식이 아니기 때문에 단면크기가 상대적으로 작은 경우 또는 내구성 등의 확보 차원에서 콘크리트 피복두께가 증가하여 단면적비율이 과도하게 커지는 경우에는 교각의 시공성 및 경제성이 저하될 정도로 많은 횡방향철근량이 요구되는 문제점을 야기한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 콘크리트 피복두께가 심부구속 횡방향철근량 산정식에 미치는 영향을 비교, 분석하고 보다 합리적인 내진설계를 위한 심부구속 횡방향철근량 산정식을 수정 제안하였으며 국내 외에서 수행된 실험 결과를 바탕으로 제안식의 안전율 및 타당성을 검증하였다.

철도교에서는 일정한 간격의 축중을 가지는 차량하중이 반복적으로 재하되므로 정적성능과 더불어 동적성능이 매우 중요하다. 또한 철도교의 상부에 부설되는 궤도시스템은 교량의 정 동적 성능에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 궤도시스템을 적용한 거더시험체를 제작하여 궤도시스템에 따른 교량의 정 동적거동을 분석하였다. 정적거동 분석에서는 교량 처짐 및 응력을 검토하고 중립축위치를 분석하였으며, 동적거동 분석에서는 고유진동수, 감쇠비, 하중크기, 하중진폭에 대한 영향을 궤도시스템별로 검토하였다. 궤도부설에 따른 정적처짐 변화검토를 통해 궤도 부설전에 비해 자갈궤도는 약 7%, 콘크리트궤도는 약 50%의 강성 증가 효과가 있음을 확인하였고, 궤도 부설 시 교량의 고유진동수가 낮아졌으나 감쇠비 변화는 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 최대하중 크기가 증가할수록 철도교량의 동적응답(처짐 및 가속도)이 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 하중진 폭은 공진 시 교량의 동적응답을 크게 증가시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 자갈궤도는 교량의 강성을 일정 부분 증가시키고, 콘크리트궤도의 경우 자갈궤도 부설 교량에 비해 상당한 강성기여도를 가지고 있음을 실험적으로 입증하였으나, 정량적인 강성기여도의 크기는 자갈궤도 및 콘크리트궤도의 설계값에 따라 상이할 수 있기 때문에 이를 적용할 수 있는 궤도의 질량 및 강성기여도 분석방법 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

분산 정보 시스템의 온-라인 유지보수를 위해서는 네트워크 내의 참여 노드들에게 파일을 배포하는 작업이 필수적이다. 이때 파일 배포에 대한 사용자들의 요청이 단기간에 집중되면, 배포 서버는 과부하 상태에 빠지며, 이를 플래시 크라우드(Flash Crowds)라 부른다. 플래시 크라우드를 회피하기 위한 일반적인 해결책은 하드웨어의 용량을 증설하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 추가 비용의 발생 없이 P2P 기반의 소프트웨어적 해결책을 제안한다. 제안된 해결책에서 네트워크의 노드들은 인접한 노드들을 중심으로 서브네트워크들로 구성된다. 각 서브네트워크 내에서 배포 파일의 복사본은 노드들 상호간에 전송될 수 있어 배포 서버의 부하를 분산시킨다. 효율성을 높이기 위해 배포 대상 파일들은 하나의 패키지로 묶여지고 전송에 앞서 패키지는 동일한 크기를 갖는 다수의 세그먼트들로 분할된다. 정상 상태에서 배포 서버는 노드가 요청한 패키지를 세그먼트 단위로 전송한다. 그러나 배포 서버의 과부하 상태에서 노드가 필요한 세그먼트가 이미 서브네트워크 내에 존재할 경우, 서브네트워크 내의 노드는 필요한 세그먼트를 인접 노드로부터 전송받을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 처리하기 위한 자료구조와 알고리즘을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능 개선을 확인하였다.
