For the improvement of fuel consumption, the study on the use of lightweight material or thinner sheet have been carried out in automotive industry. With the need for the use of thinner sheet, the dent resistance became one of the major concern in th design of exterior panels in automotive industry. Many studies have been carried out for the dent resistance by experiment or quasi-static numerical simulation. In this study, the dent formation behavior is investigated by dynamic finite element analysis using ABAQUS. Dent formation may be affected by many factors such as sheet thickness, material properties, pre-strain, and sheet curvature. The effect of these factors on dent resistance is investigated. From the analysis following three conclusions are derived. First, dent resistance become hard as the sheet curvature radius increases. Second, dynamic dent resistance is mainly affected by bending stress rather than tensile stress. Third, the pre-strain itself do not give any guidance for dynamic dent resistance and dynamic dent resistance have to be decided considering the strain hardening and thickness reduction together. The results are considered to be reliable and useful to improve the dent damage of automotive panels.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic performance of both exterior precast concrete cladding panels and their connections on steel frame, when these cladding systems are considered as the structural components. The degrees of their participation of lateral stiffness to the main building are evaluated in terms of different heights of the cladding panels. Considering the cladding system as an integrated building provides additional lateral stiffness, as well as a mechanism for energy dissipation and this system can be used as one of an advanced passive seismic control system. Hysteresis behaviors of connectors are modeled and integrated into a nonlinear finite element analysis program, ABAQUS. The results show that connections play the most important role in structural cladding system and they improve seismic performance of overall building response.

일반 교량에 주로 사용되는 콘크리트 바닥판 시공을 위해서는 동바리, 거푸집 등을 설치하고 철근 배근 후 콘크리트를 타설하는 방법이 사용되어왔다. 그러나 기존 콘크리트 바닥판 시공은 계절 및 기후의 영향을 많이 받는다. 또한 시공과정에서 많은 인력이 요구되고 시공 안전성 확보를 위한 노력이 필요한 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 최근에 프리캐스트 바닥판을 이용한 교량 시공이 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 프리캐스트 바닥판은 공장에서 선제작한 후 현장에서 조립하여 시공한다. 따라서 프리캐스트 바닥판 시공은 계절 및 기후의 영향을 최소화 하여 공기를 단축할 수 있고, 공장제작에 따른 양호한 품질도 보장된다. 또한 인력이 적게 요구되면서 시공 안전성도 확보할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 기존의 프리캐스트 바닥판은 패널의 폭이 좁고 외측 캔틸레버부의 시공 시 별도의 지보공이 필요한 단점을 갖고 있었다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 장폭 외측 프리캐스트 바닥판이 제안되었다. 장폭 외측 프리캐스트 바닥판은 패널의 폭을 늘려서 장폭의 바닥판을 만들고, 가설구조물을 이용하여 지보공 없이 시공이 가능하게 고안되었다. 본 연구에서는 장폭 외측 프리캐스트 패널 캠버 조정에 사용 될 가설구조의 현장적용을 위하여, 실험 후 유한요소해석을 수행하여 비교 및 검증하였다.

The widespread damage to steel Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs) in past major earthquakes have underscored the need to understand the nonlinear inelastic behaviour of such systems. To assess the seismic performance of steel MRF, it is essential to model the nonlinear force-deformation behaviour of beam to column joints. To determine the extent of inelasticity in a beam to column joint, nonlinear finite element analysis is generally carried out, which is computationally involved and demanding. In order to obviate the need of such elaborate analyses, a simplistic method to predict the force-deformation behaviour is required. In this study, a simple, mechanics driven, hand calculation method is proposed to obtain the forcedeformation behaviour of strong axis beam to column moment joints. The force-deformation behaviour for twenty-five interior and exterior beam to column joints, having column to beam strength ratios ranging from 1.2 to 10.99 and 2.4 to 22, respectively, have been obtained. The force-deformation behaviour predicted using the proposed method is compared with the results of finite element analyses. The results show that the proposed method predicts the force-deformation behaviour fairly accurately, with much lesser computational effort. Further the proposed method has been used to conduct Nonlinear Dynamic Time History Analyses of two benchmark frames; close correspondence of results obtained with published results establishes the usefulness and computational accuracy of the method.

The load distribution factor (LDF) values of new composite I-beam panel bridges that were subjected to dead load were investigated using three-dimensional finite element analyses with the computer program ABAQUS(2007). This study considered some design parameters such as the slab thickness, the steel-plate thickness, and the span length for design of new composite bridges. The distribution values that were obtained from these analyses were compared with those from the AASHTO Standard, AASHTO LRFD, and the equations presented by Tarhini and Frederick, and Back and Shin. For the simple application of the design, bridge engineers can use the LDF of 0.67 for the exterior girder and of 0.340 for the interior girder.

The exterior finishing of reinforced concrete buildings is one of the important factors to prevent durability and prevent natural environment or disaster such as temperature, snow, wind, rain from the outside as well as external design of buildings. Finishing methods can be divided into wet and dry methods. The wet method using paint is relatively easy to construct, but it requires repair and reinforcement every 1 to 5 years and requires a lot of LCC for maintenance. Finishing method using panel has good durability, but it is difficult to install and expensive. Therefore, in this paper, we evaluate the bond strength for the application of the metal spray method in order to overcome the problems of existing methods. Experimental results show that the sandblast + surface roughness agent(S-R(Y)) has a roughness of 41.16 ㎛ and the bond strength is about 3.19 MPa, which is the highest bond strength. In addition, the grinding + surface roughness agent(G-R(Y)) application showed roughness of about 36.59 ㎛ and secured the bond strength performance of 2.94 MPa.

Due to the pursuit of high function and international price increase in the field of construction, the application of the secondary product using cement is on the increase gradually in the construction industry in the pursuit of economic cost reduction by the shortening of the construction time like Expediting and the dry construction method at the same time. However, it is in very urgent situation of measures to improve the structural performance or durable performance because it is limited for use in terms of panel in interior exterior building or functional repair reinforce as yet. Accordingly, this study is to investigate applicability of permanent Formwork like mould with the structural performance or excellent durable performance in the field of construction, and to derive optimum mixture in the performance and quality of manufacture. As a result of analysis comparison with the dynamic and durable properties of vacuum extrusion molding high toughness cement panel according to the mixture of four conditions, this study has found that the test body of mixing ECC-DP3 using small filler and large granulated blast furnace slag and powder flame retardant had excellent relative hardness and bending stress strain. The durable performance has shown excellent tendency by the decrease of porosity and enhancement of water-tightness.
