The damageability and repairability of similar platform type vehicles could be very concerned with design optimization. In all the vehicles crash tested, small size passenger vehicles were weakness in aspect of damageability and repairability. The most critical area appears to be repair cost considering that parts cost is the largest portion of total repair cost segments. Besides repair cost, attaching method of front sidemember and subframe are placed special importance for impact energy absorption and damageability and repairability. So in order to improve damageability and repairability of vehicle structure and body component of the monocoque type passenger vehicles, the end of front side member and front back beam should be designed with optimum level and to supply the end of front side member as a partial condition approx 300mm. The effectiveness of design concept on the 40% offset frontal impact characteristics of the passenger vehicle structure is investigated and summarized.

In this paper, elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analysis is performed to determine the critical crack sizes of the multipurpose canister (MPC) manufactured using austenitic stainless steel under dynamic loading conditions that simulate drop accidents. Firstly, dynamic finite element (FE) analysis is performed using Abaqus v.2018 with the KORAD (Korea Radioactive Waste Agency)-21 model under two drop accident conditions. Through the FE analysis, critical locations and through-thickness stress distributions in the MPC are identified, where the maximum plastic strain occurs during impact loadings. Then, the evaluation using the failure assessment diagram (FAD) is performed by postulating an external surface crack at the critical location to determine the critical crack depth. It is found that, for the drop cases considered in this paper, the principal failure mechanism for the circumferential surface crack is found to be the plastic collapse due to dominant high bending axial stress in the thickness. For axial cracks, the plastic collapse is also the dominant failure mechanism due to high membrane hoop stress, followed by the ductile tearing analysis. When incorporating the strain rate effect on yield strength and fracture toughness, the critical crack depth increases from 10 to 20%.

U-Channel Bridge is effective bridge type, because its edge beam performs role of barrier and enables to reduce additional dead loads. Although it is effective to reduce additional dead loads, there is possibility of bridge collapse under impact load due to car crash. Also, edge beam must have ability to induce safe driving and prevent falling accidents. Therefore, it requires behavior analysis and property investigation through the vehicle impact crashing edge beam. This study presents method of structural analysis of U-channel bridge and investigates design specifications for the effect of the edge beam under the vehicle impact. Also, it carries out stability investigation of behavior of edge beam and slab, based on Korean Highway Bridge Design Specifications and AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification.

최근 콘크리트 구조물에 충격하중, 폭발하중 등 극한의 외력이 작용하는 경우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 강섬유보강 RC보와 carbon FRP 시트를 이용하여 보강한 RC보를 이용하여 충격실험을 진행하였다. 강섬유보강 RC보의 경우 0.75%부피비로 강섬유를 혼입하였으며 carbon FRP 시트의 경우 에폭시 레진을 이용하여 보강을 한후 보 부재를 완성하였다. FRP 시트 보강은 부재의 하단을 휨 보강하였으며 충격하중이 부재에 작용할 때 발생하는 shear-plug 균열을 제어하기 위하여 충격하중이 가해지는 국부에 CFRP 전단보강을 실시하였다. 실험진행은 drop-weight test 방식으로 직접 기기를 만들어 실행하였다. 각각의 부재에 단계별로 충격하중을 가하여 실험을 진행하였으며 균열과 균열폭을 측정하였다. 실험결과 강섬유보강 RC보가 일반 RC보에 비하여 균열폭 및 shear-plug 균열제어 그리고 스폴링파괴에 더 높은 성능을 나타내었다. FRP로 부재의 하단을 휨 보강한 부재의 경우 균열의 제어에 어느정도 효과를 나타내고 있으나 충격하중이 가해질 시 콘크리트와 FRP 시트의 부착면에서 박리파괴가 빠르게 진행되었다. FRP 시트로 부재의 하단과 측면을 CFRP로 휨, 전단보강한 부재의 경우 shear-plug 균열제어에 가장 높은 저항성능을 보이고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 충격하중이 보강이 이루어지지 않은 부분에 작용할 경우 오히려 보강이 되지 않은 RC보에 비하여 콘크리트 스폴링 파괴에 더 취약함을 알 수 있었다.

During the last 10 years, the various type of high speed craft have been greatly developed, and since around of 1990 the large size of high speed passenger and/or cargo vessels are also introduced and took into the service in the various routes over the world. In a marine traffic way some bridge need to build across a rivers, cannals or a waterways. This one will be an obstruction and potential risk of collision in the way of high speed craft. Accordingly some of collision accident have been reported, which were caused by a lost control, wind and hydrodynamic forces, fog or human errors. In this paper a high speed craft having 40 m length is assumed to be collided with a circular type of bridge piers at right angle. The mode of deformation, penetration depth of collapse, impact forces, reduction of speed, loss of kinetic energy, and influence of scantlings, etc. have been calculated in each speed with a time variation to find a maximum values within a limit, and are graphically presented.

CFRP composites with light weight, high strength, and high elasticity by comparing with metal are widely used rather than previous steel plates. However, CFRP composite material has the weakness at hydrothermal and collapsed impact environment. Especially, moisture absorption into composite material can change molecule arrangement and chemical properties under hydrothermal environment. And static collapse experiment is the research in the differences of absorbed energy and deformation mode between moisture and non-moisture absorbed specimens. This study is compared and analyzed on the progress change of moisture absorption ratio after setting up the temperatures of 60 and 80 degrees C in order to comprehend how the change in the temperature influences on moisture absorption status inside CFRP composite materials.

선박충돌의 위험이 있는 교량의 교각에 대해 연파괴빈도 계산을 수행하였다. 이러한 해석을 통해 각각의 교각에 대한 선박충돌 횡방향내하력을 결정할 수 있다. 교각의 횡방향내하력은 선박충돌 위험도 평가로부터 예측된 연파괴빈도와 허용기준을 비교하는 확률기반 해석과정을 통해 결정된다. 해석과정은 교량 각 부재요소에 대한 초기 충돌저항력을 가정하여 계산된 연파괴빈도가 허용기준을 만족하도록 해석변수를 반복 수정하면서 해를 찾는 과정이다. 일반적으로 선박충돌 위험이 있는 교각들에 대한 연파괴빈도 허용기준의 분배는 설계자의 공학적 판단에 근거한다. 본 연구에서는 선박충돌 위험도 평가로부터 사전 계산되는 연파괴빈도 할당 가중치에 의해 각각의 교각에 허용기준을 분배하였다.

Many previous tall building fires demonstrate that despite code compliant construction fires often spread vertically and burn over multiple floors at the same time. The collapses of the WTC complex buildings in 9/11 as well as other partial collapses like the ones of the Windsor Tower in Madrid and of the Technical University of Delft building posed new questions on the stability of tall buildings in fire. These accidents have shown that local or global collapse is possible in multi-floor fires. In most of the previous work involving multi-floor fires all floors were assumed to be heated simultaneously although in reality fires travel from one floor to another. This paper extends previous research by focusing on the collapse mechanisms of tall buildings in fire and performs a parametric study using various travelling rates. The results of the study demonstrate that vertically travelling fires have beneficial impact in terms of the global structural response of tall buildings in comparison to simultaneous fires. Contrary to the beneficial effect of the travelling fires in terms of the global structural response, it was noticed that higher tensile forces were also present in the floors compared to simultaneous multi-floor case. Designers are therefore advised to consider simultaneous multi-floor fire as an upper bound scenario. However, a scenario where a travelling fire is used is also suggested to be examined, as the tensile capacity of connections may be underestimated.

Past earthquakes have signaled the increased collapse vulnerability of mainshock-damaged bridge piers and urgent need of repair interventions prior to subsequent cascading hazard events, such as aftershocks, triggered by the mainshock (MS). The overarching goal of this study is to quantify the collapse vulnerability of mainshock-damaged substandard RC bridge piers rehabilitated with different repair jackets (FRP, conventional thick steel and hybrid jacket) under aftershock (AS) attacks of various intensities. The efficacy of repair jackets on post-MS resilience of repaired bridges is quantified for a prototype two-span single-column bridge bent with lap-splice deficiency at column-footing interface. Extensive number of incremental dynamic time history analyses on numerical finite element bridge models with deteriorating properties under back-to-back MS-AS sequences were utilized to evaluate the efficacy of different repair jackets on the post-repair behavior of RC bridges subjected to AS attacks. Results indicate the dramatic impact of repair jacket application on post-MS resilience of damaged bridge piers-up to 45.5 % increase of structural collapse capacity-subjected to aftershocks of multiple intensities. Besides, the efficacy of repair jackets is found to be proportionate to the intensity of AS attacks. Moreover, the steel jacket exhibited to be the most vulnerable repair intervention compared to CFRP, irrespective of the seismic sequence (severe MS-severe or moderate AS) or earthquake type (near-fault or far-fault).
