본 연구에서는 화재시 매입형 합성기둥의 높은 축력비에 따른 내화성능을 알아보기 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램(ANSYS)을 통한 해석을 실시하였다. 온도에 따른 응력-변형률 곡선을 적용하여 ASTM E 119 가열곡선과 축력비 0.7, 0.6, 0.5에 따른 과도상태 열전달해석 및 정적구조해석을 실시하였으며, 해석조건과 동일한 조건에서의 재하가열실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 기준식(Eurocode 4)에 따라 가열시간에 따른 합성기둥의 공칭압축강도를 산정하고, 축력비로 나타내어 해석값 및 실험값과 비교하였다. 해석 및 실험과 기준(Eurocode 4)을 통해 가열시간에 따른 단면별 온도분포를 확인하고, 이에 따른 내화성능을 측정해 비교분석하였다. 유한요소해석 결과 축력비 0.5에서는 내화시간 180분으로 실험값과 유사한 값이 도출된 반면, 축력비 0.6, 0.7에서 내화시간 150분과 60분이 도출되어 실험결과에 비해 다소 높은 결과가 도출된 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 기준식(Eurocode 4)에 따라 산정한 축력비에 따른 내화시간이 실제 실험값에 비해 다소 낮게 평가하고 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 축력비 0.7에서는 기준(Eurocode 4)이 실험값에 비해 다소 높게 평가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 따라 고축력에서의 매입형 합성기둥의 내화특성(시간-축력비 관계)을 확인하고, 도출된 매입형 합성기둥의 실험 및 해석데이터를 Eurocode기준의 검증의 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

When designing structures to the wind action, the variation of the mean wind velocity and turbulence parameters with the height above the ground must be taken into account. This paper presents the numerical simulation results of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) airflows, in a numerical domain with no obstacles and with a cubic building. The results of the flow characterization, obtained with the FLUENT CFD code were performed using the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model with the MMK modification. The mean velocity and turbulence intensity profiles in the inflow boundary were defined in accordance with the Eurocode 1.4, for different conditions of aerodynamic roughness. The maintenance of the velocity and turbulence characteristics along the domain were evaluated in an empty domain for uniform incident flow and the ABL Eurocode velocity profiles. The pressure coefficients on a cubic building were calculated using these inflow conditions.

Experimental results are presented from tests conducted on reinforced concrete beam-column joints with lap splices under reversed cyclic loading simulating earthquake action. Response curves are compared for twenty-four specimens designed according to Eurocode 2. The main parameters of the investigation are, the geometry of the reinforcing bar extension, the applied axial load (normalized), the available cover over lap splice region extended as length required from Eurocode 2, as well as the shape and the volumetric percentage of the stirrups confining the lap splice zone. The results are evaluated with regards to the load intensity, the energy absorption capacity and the characteristics of the load deflection curve.

Two new formulae for the design of beam-columns at room temperature have been proposed into Eurocode 3, prEN 1993-1-1 (2002), and are the result of great efforts made by two working groups that followed different approaches, a French-Belgian team and an Austrian-German one. Under fire conditions the prEN 1993-1-2 (structural fire design) presents formulae, for the design of beam-columns based on the prENV 1993-1-1 (1992). In order to study the possibility of having, in part 1-1 and part 1-2 of the Eurocode 3, the same approach, a numerical research was made using the finite element program SAFIR, developed at the University of Liege for the study of structures subjected to fire.

In this paper, a cyclic mechanical model is presented to simulate the behaviour of top and seat with web angle beam-to-column connections. The introduced mechanical model is compared with Eurocode 3 Annex J, its extension, and with experimental data. To have a better insight regarding the actual response of the joints, available results of the experiments, carried out on full-scale top and seat angle joints under monotonic and cyclic loading, are first considered. Subsequently, a finite element model of the test setup is developed. The application of the proposed model, its comparisons with the experimental curves and with the Eurocode 3 Annex J and with its modification, clearly show the excellent quality of the model proposed.

This study compares two prominent design provisions, National Design Specification (NDS) and Eurocode 5, on load-carrying capacity calculations and failure analysis for mortise-tenon joints. Design procedures of double-shear connection from both provisions were used to calculate load-carrying capacity of mortise-tenon joints with eight different bolt sizes. From this calculation, the result was validated using finite element analysis and failure criteria models. Although both provisions share similar failure modes, their distinct calculation methods significantly influence the design load-carrying capacity values. Notably, Eurocode 5 predicts a 6% higher design load-carrying capacity for mortise-tenon joints with varying bolt diameters under horizontal loads and 14% higher under vertical loads compared to NDS. However, the results from failure criteria models indicate that NDS closely aligns with the actual load-carrying capacity. This indicates that Eurocode 5 presents a less conservative design and potentially requires fewer fasteners in the final timber connection design. This evaluation initiates the potential for the development of a wider range of timber connections, including mortise-tenon joints with wooden pegs.

The objections raised by researchers to the design provisions reported in Eurocode 8 make the efficient seismic performance of the eccentrically braced structures designed according to this code unlikely. Given the rationality and the number of the objections, this paper aims to summarize the criticism of researchers and report the opinion of the Authors. The objections raised to the design procedure of eccentrically braced structures regard aspects common to the design of steel structures and aspects specifically related to the design of eccentrically braced structures. The significance of these objections is also shown by means of exemplary cases.

본 논문은 HSB 강재를 보다 다양한 분야에 적용하기 위한 기본적인 연구로 HSB600 강재를 적용한 6개의 원형강관 기둥을 제작하여 구조적 특성을 고찰하고 현행 설계기준(KBC, Eurocode 3)의 적합성을 검토하였다. 실험의 주요변수는 세장비(KLe/r = 12, 14, 40, 65), 지름두께비(D/t = 25, 40), 편심비(e/D = 0, 0.5)이다. 실험결과를 현행 규준식과 비교한 결과 압축강도와 보-기둥 강도 모두 안전측으로 평가되어 현행 규준을 HSB600 강재에 적용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the two-, three-, and four-lane transverse reduction factor based on FEA method, probability theory, and the recently actual traffic flow data. A total of 72 composite girder bridges with various spans, number of lanes, loading mode, and bridge type are analyzed with time-varying static load FEA method by ANSYS, and the probability models of vehicle load effects at arbitrary-time point are developed. Based on these probability models, in accordance to the principle of the same exceeding probability, the multi-lane transverse reduction factor of these composite girder bridges and the relationship between the multi-lane transverse reduction factor and the span of bridge are determined. Finally, the multi-lane transverse reduction factor obtained is compared with those from AASHTO LRFD, BS5400, JTG D60 or Eurocode. The results show that the vehicle load effect at arbitrary-time point follows lognormal distribution. The two-, three-, and four-lane transverse reduction factors calculated by using FEA method and probability respectively range between 0.781 and 1.027, 0.616 and 0.795, 0.468 and 0.645. Furthermore, a correlation between the FEA and AASHTO LRFD, BS5400, JTG D60 or Eurocode transverse reduction factors is made for composite girder bridges. For the two-, three-, and four-lane bridge cases, the Eurocode code underestimated the FEA transverse reduction factors by 27%, 25% and 13%, respectively. This underestimation is more pronounced in short-span bridges. The AASHTO LRFD, BS5400 and JTG D60 codes overestimated the FEA transverse reduction factors. The FEA results highlight the importance of considering span length in determining the multi-lane transverse reduction factors when designing two-lane or more composite girder bridges. This paper will assist bridge engineers in quantifying the adjustment factors used in analyzing and designing multi-lane composite girder bridges.
