This thesis is to investigate the sliding behavior of cantilever retaining wall by using the commercially available program of FLAC to simulate its behavior numerically. Cantilever retaining walls with flat base, sloped base and base with shear key, uniform surcharges being applied on the surface of backfill, were investigated to figure out appropriate location of shear key beneath the base of wall and, thus, its applicability to field condition was assessed by comparing the analyzed results to each other. On the other hand, previously performed centrifuge model test results (Eum, 1996) were analyzed numerically with FLAC to compare test results with respect to characteristics of load-settlement of surcharges and load-lateral movement of wall. Based on the failure mechanism observed during centrifuge tests, limit equilibrium method of finding the ultimate load inducing the sliding failure of wall was used to compare with values of the ultimate load obtained from conventional method of limit equilibrium method. Therefore, appropriate location of shear key was determined to mobilize the maximum resistance against sliding failure of wall.

Wall thinning defect due to flow accelerated corrosion is one of major aging phenomena in most power plant industries, and it results in reducing load carrying capacity of the piping systems. A failure testing system was set up for real scale elbows containing various simulated wall thinning defects, and monotonic in-plane bending tests were performed under internal pressure to find out the failure behavior of thinned elbows. Various finite element models were generated and analysed to figure out and simulate the behavior for other thinning shapes and loading conditions. This paper presents the decreasing trends of load carrying capacity according to the thinning dimensions which were revealed from the investigation of finite element analysis results. A mechanical integrity evaluation model for thinned elbows was proposed, also. This model can be used to calculate the TES plastic load of thinned elbows for general internal pressure, thinning location, and in-plane bending direction.

Downbursts are of great harm to transmission lines and many towers can even be destroyed. The downburst wind field model by Chen and Letchford was applied, and the wind loads of two typical transmission towers in inland areas and littoral areas were calculated separately. Spatial finite element models of the transmission towers were established by elastic beam and link elements. The wind loads as well as the dead loads of conductors and insulators were simplified and applied on the suspension points by concentrated form. Structural analysis on two typical transmission towers under normal wind and downburst was completed. The bearing characteristics and the failure modes of the transmission towers under downburst were determined. The failure state of tower members can be judged by the calculated stress ratios. It shows that stress states of the tower members were mainly controlled by 45 degree wind load. For the inland areas with low deign wind velocity, though the structural height is not in the highest wind velocity zone of downburst, the wind load under downburst is much higher than that under normal wind. The main members above the transverse separator of the legs will be firstly destroyed. For the littoral areas with high deign wind velocity, the wind load under downburst is lower than under normal wind. Transmission towers are not controlled by the wind loads from downbursts in design process.

The effects of slenderness ratio, eccentricity and column slope on the load-carrying capacities and failure modes of variable and uniform concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) latticed columns under axial and eccentric compression were investigated and compared in this study. The results clearly show that all the CFST latticed columns with variable cross section exhibit an overall failure, which is similar to that of CFST latticed columns with a uniform cross section. The load-carrying capacity decreases with the increase of the slenderness ratio or the eccentricity. For 2-m specimens with a slenderness ratio of 9, the ultimate load-carrying capacity is increased by 3% and 5% for variable CFST latticed columns with a slope of 1:40 and 1:20 as compared with that of uniform CFST latticed columns, respectively. For the eccentrically compressed variable CFST latticed columns, the strain of the columns at the loading side, as well as the difference in the strain, increases from the bottom to the cap, and a more significant increase in strain is observed in the cross section closer to the column cap.

Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructures often require strengthening due to error in design, degradation of materials properties after prolong utilization and increases load carrying capacity persuaded by new use of the structures. For this purpose, a newly proposed Side Near Surface Mounted (SNSM) composite technique was used for flexural strengthening of RC beam specimens. Analytical and non-linear finite element modeling (FEM) using ABAQUS were performed to predict the flexural performance of RC specimens strengthened with S-NSM using steel bars as a strengthening reinforcement. RC beams with various SNSM reinforcement ratios were tested for flexural performance using four-point bending under monotonic loading condition. Results showed significantly increase the yield and ultimate strengths up to 140% and 144% respectively and improved failure modes. The flexural response, such as failure load, mode of failure, yield load, ultimate load, deflection, strain, cracks characteristic and ductility of the beams were compared with those predicted results. The strengthened RC beam specimens showed good agreement of predicted flexural behavior with the experimental outcomes.

Many reinforced concrete (RC) buildings constructed prior to 1980's lack important features guaranteeing ductile response under earthquake excitation. Structural components in such buildings, especially columns, do not satisfy the reinforcement details demanded by current seismic design codes. Columns with deficient reinforcement details may suffer significant damage when subjected to cyclic lateral loads. They can also experience rapid lateral strength degradation induced by shear failure. The objective of this study is to accurately simulate the load-deformation response of RC columns experiencing shear failure. In order to do so, model parameters are calibrated to the load-deformation response of 40 RC column specimens failed in shear. Multivariate stepwise regression analyses are conducted to develop the relationship between the model parameters and physical parameters of RC column specimens. It is shown that the proposed predictive equations successfully estimated the model parameters of RC column specimens with great accuracy. The proposed equations also showed better accuracy than the existing ones.

In this study, circular thin-walled reinforced high strength concrete-filled steel tube (RHSCFST) stub columns with various tube thicknesses (i.e., 1.8, 2.5 and 3.0mm) and reinforcement ratios (i.e., 0, 1.6%, 2.4% and 3.2%) were fabricated to explore the influence of these factors on the axial compressive behavior of RHSCFST. The obtained test results show that the failure mode of RHSCFST transforms from outward buckling and tearing failure to drum failure with the increasing tube thickness. With the tube thickness and reinforcement ratio increased, the ultimate load-carrying capacity, compressive stiffness and ductility of columns increased, while the lateral strain in the stirrup decreased. Comparisons were also made between test results and the existing codes such as AIJ (2008), BS5400 (2005), ACI (2019) and EC4 (2010). It has been found that the existing codes provide conservative predictions for the ultimate load-carrying capacity of RHSCFST. Therefore, an accurate model for the prediction of the ultimate load-carrying capacity of circular thin-walled RHSCFST considering the steel reinforcement is developed, based on the obtained experimental results. It has been found that the model proposed in this study provides more accurate predictions of the ultimate load-carrying capacity than that from existing design codes.

본 연구는 접착조인트의 파손모드 및 파손강도 연구를 위해 단일 겹침 시편(Single lap shear joint)을 이용하여 해석을 실시하였다. 알루미늄과 스틸, Araldite 접착제를 이용, 시편을 제작하여 인장시험을 진행하였으며 시험데이터를 이용, 유한요소해석 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 알루미늄과 스틸, 접착제 모두 비선형해석을 통해 정확한 거동을 묘사하고자 하였다. 시험결과 파단강도는 Overlap length와 Width가 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였다. 또한 이종재료 조인트의 경우 동종재료 조인트와 비교 시 10~17% 정도의 파손강도 증가를 보였다. 이는 강성이 강한 스틸을 함께 사용함으로써 판재의 굽힘변형이 줄어들고 이를 통해 본드의 응력집중을 막는 효과를 가져왔기에 나타난 현상으로 분석된다. 유한요소해석을 통한 응력분포 및 변형률 분포를 분석한 결과 동종재료의 경우 본드 양 끝단, 이종재료의 경우 강성이 약한 판재와 가까운 부분에서 집중이 발생하였다. 응력집중 및 파손의 주요 인자를 확인하기 위해 본드의 각 성분 별 응력 값을 측정해 본 결과 1-3방향 전단응력 이 파손의 가장 큰 인자로 분석되었다.

목적: 잠김(Locking)이 가능한 이동 매듭의 (sliding knot) 최적 매듭 유지력 (knot-holdingcapacity KHC)을 가지기 위한 추가적인 반 매듭의 (additional half-hitches) 개수를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 4가지의 관절경적 이동 매듭법 (Duncan매듭법, Field 매듭법, Giant매듭법, SMC매듭법)을 대상으로 매듭 유지력을 실험하였다. 각각의 매듭을 만들기 위해 처음의 이동 매듭과 추가적인 5개의 반 매듭으로 구성된 6개의 연속적인 매듭을 만들었다. 각각의 추가된 반 매듭은 서로 교차하며 매듭의 지대 (post)도 교차하여 매는 방식으로 (reversing half-hitches with alternate posts, RHAPS) 하였다. 각각의 연속적인 매듭을 구성하기위해 No.2 Ethibond봉합사를 이용하여 각각의 매듭 형태에 12개의 매듭을 만들었다. 매듭의 인장 및 유지력 실험은 servohydraulic material testing system(Instron 8511, MTS, Minneapolis, MN)으로 주기적 부하(cyclic loading)를 시켜, 임상적으로 실패라 규정한 3 mm의 전위가 생길 때까지의 부하 (load to clinical failure). 매듭이 완전히 실패했을 때의 부하 강도 (load to ultimate failure), 그리고 실패 형태 (mode of failure)를 측정하였다. 결과: 추가적인 반 매듭이 없는 최초의 이동 매듭 자체로는 대부분 주기적 부하에 의해 매듭의 실패를 보였다. 주기적 부하 검사에서 각각의 추가적인 반 매듭이 증가할수록 평균 전위 값은 감소하였다. SMC 매듭법과 Giant 매듭법은 하나의 추가적인 반 매듭 이후로 0.1 mm이하의 전위 값을 보였고 Field와 Duncan 매듭법은 3개의 추가 반매듭이 필요하였다. SMC 매듭법과 Duncan 매듭법은 80 N을 견디기 위해 단 하나의 추가 반 매듭이 필요하였고, Field와 Giant 매듭법은 2개의 추가 반 매듭이 필요하였다. 100 N이상의 부하를 견디기 위해서는 SMC 매듭법은 3개의 추가 반 매듭이 필요하였고, 다른 3가지의 매듭법은 4개의 추가 반 매듭이 필요하였다. 추가 반 매듭이 증가함에 따라 봉합사는 풀리는 것보다 끊어지는 양상을 보였다. Duncan매듭법은 5개의 추가 반 매듭 이후에도 풀림현상을 보였고, 다른 3개의 매듭법은 3개의 추가 반 매듭 이후엔 75%이상이 봉합사의 풀림 현상보다는 끊어지는 양상을 보였다. (SMC, Field 매듭법은 92%, Ciant 매듭법은 75%)결론: 어떤 매듭법이라도 이동 매듭법 만으로는 주기적 부하 검사를 견디지 못했다. 모든 종류의 실험에서 SMC 매듭법은 최소2개의 두개의 추가 반 매듭이 필요하였다. Duncan 매듭법은 최적 매듭 유지력을 위해 3개 이상의 추가 반 매듭이 필요하였다. 모든 매듭법에서 3개나 그 이상의 추가 반 매듭이 최적 유지력에서 정점에 가까운 양상을 보였다.
