Field monitoring techniques offer an attractive approach for understanding bridge behavior under in-service loads. However, the investigations on bridge behavior under high-speed train load using field monitoring data are limited. The focus of this study is to explore the structural behavior of an in-service long-span steel truss arch bridge based on field monitoring data. First, the natural frequencies of the structure, as well as the train driving frequencies, are extracted. Then, the train-induced bearing displacement and structural strain are explored to identify the effects of train loads and bearings. Subsequently, a sensitivity analysis is performed for the impact factor of strain responses with respect to the train speed, train weight, and temperature to identify the fundamental issues affecting these responses. Additionally, a similar sensitivity analysis is conducted for the peak acceleration. The results indicate that the friction force in bearings provides residual deformations when two consecutive trains are in opposite directions. In addition, the impact factor and peak acceleration are primarily affected by train speed, particularly near train speeds that result in the resonance of the bridge response. The results can provide additional insight into the behavior of the long-span steel truss bridges under in-service high-speed train loads.

The force resisting ability of a connection has direct implications on the overall response of a timber framed structure to various actions, thereby governing the integrity and safety of such constructions. The behavior of timber framed structures has been studied by many researchers by testing full-scale-connections in timber frames so as to establish consistent design provisions on the same. However, much emphasis in this approach has been unidirectional, that has focused on a particular connection configuration, with no research output stressing on the refinement of the existing connection details in order to optimize their performance. In this regard, addition of adhesive to dowelled timber connections is an economically effective technique that has a potential to improve their performance. Therefore, a comparative study to evaluate the performance of various full-scale timber frame Nailed connections (Bridled Tenon, Cross Halved, Dovetail Halved and Mortise Tenon) supplemented by adhesive with respect to Nailed-Only counterparts under tensile loading has been investigated in this paper. The load-deformation values measured have been used to calculate stiffness, load capacity and ductility in both the connection forms (with and without adhesion) which in turn have been compared to other configurations along with the observed failure modes. The observed load capacity of the tested models has also been compared to the design strengths predicted by National Design Specifications (NDS-2018) for timber construction. Additionally, the experimental behavior was validated by developing non-linear finite element models in ABAQUS. All the results showed incorporation of adhesive to be an efficient and an economical technique in significantly enhancing the performance of various timber nailed connections under tensile action. Thus, this research is novel in a sense that it not only explores the tensile behavior of different nailed joint configurations common in timber construction but also stresses on improvising the same in a logical manner hence making it distinctive in its approach.

Steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) L-shaped column is the vertical load-bearing member with high spatial adaptability. The seismic behavior of SRC L-shaped column is complex because of their irregular cross sections. In this study, the hysteretic performance of six steel truss reinforced concrete L-shaped columns specimens under the combined loading of compression, bending, shear, and torsion was tested. There were two parameters, i.e., the moment ratio of torsion to bending (γ) and the aspect ratio (column length-to-depth ratio (φ)). The failure process, torsion-displacement hysteresis curves, and bending-displacement hysteresis curves of specimens were obtained, and the failure patterns, hysteresis curves, rigidity degradation, ductility, and energy dissipation were analyzed. The experimental research indicates that the failure mode of the specimen changes from bending failure to bending-shear failure and finally bending-torsion failure with the increase of γ. The torsion-displacement hysteresis curves were pinched in the middle, formed a slip platform, and the phenomenon of "load drop" occurred after the peak load. The bending-displacement hysteresis curves were plump, which shows that the bending capacity of the specimen is better than torsion capacity. The results show that the steel truss reinforced concrete L-shaped columns have good collapse resistance, and the ultimate interstory drift ratio more than that of the Chinese Code of Seismic Design of Building (GB50011-2014), which is sufficient. The average value of displacement ductility coefficient is larger than rotation angle ductility coefficient, indicating that the specimen has a better bending deformation resistance. The specimen that has a more regular section with a small φ has better potential to bear bending moment and torsion evenly and consume more energy under a combined action.

말뚝에 대한 수평지지력 산정방법은 대부분이 토압론과 지반을 말뚝으로부터 분리하여 고려하기 때문에 지반과 말뚝의 상호작용을 효율적으로 고려하지 못하고 있다. 최근에 말뚝기술이 보다 개선됨에 따라서 수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 실제거동에 대한 규명이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 말뚝과 지반의 상호작용을 고려할 수 있는 변형률 쐐기모델을 이용하여 단일 말뚝과 무리말뚝에 대한 거동 특성을 살펴보고자 한다. 수평하중을 받는 말뚝에 대한 거동을 알아보기 위하여 축소모형실험을 우선적으로 수행하였으며, 실제 규모의 말뚝조건에 대해서는 변형률 쐐기모델을 적용하여 말뚝의 거동특성을 예측하였다. 실내모형실험 결과와 수치해석의 전반적인 거동을 살펴보기 위하여 실험결과 및 해석결과를 이용하여 비교, 분석을 수행하였다.

NATM터널의 안정성 확보를 위해 지반조건이 불량한 경우 숏크리트에 격자지보나 H형강 등의 강지보를 보강하는 경우가 많다. 그러나 설계 시 강지보를 숏크리트가 경화되기 전 임시지보재로 간주하여 수치해석 시 고려하지 않는 것이 일반적이며, 수치해석에 고려하더라도 모델링 방법이 다양하다. 본 연구에서는 휨강도실험, 압축강도실험, 그리고 실대형실험을 통하여 강지보와 숏크리트 합성부재의 거동과 하중 부담률을 분석하였다. 또한 실험과 같은 조건에서 숏크리트와 강지보의 고려방법을 달리하여 수치해석을 실시하여 실험결과와 비교분석하였다. 연구결과 숏크리트와 강지보는 경계면에서의 미끄러짐(slip)으로 인하여 일체로 거동하지 않으며, 수치해석 시 휨모멘트는 강지보가 모두 부담하고 축력은 숏크리트와 강지보가 압축강성비에 따라 분담하는 것으로 고려하는 것이 적절한 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 콘 장비를 강관말뚝 중공에 설치함에 따른 말뚝의 거동을 분석하기 위해 축소 모형실험을 진행하였다. 콘 장비를 항타하여 설치 할 경우 먼저 강관 내부에 유입되는 관내토의 높이를 수치상으로 확인 할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 플러깅을 예측하여 플러깅에 따른 말뚝의 거동을 분석 할 수 있다. 또한 물리적인 항타 에너지로 지반의 강성과 강도를 증가 시켜 지지력을 상승 시킬 것으로 기대된다. 강사 장치를 이용하여 상대밀도 90%의 지반을 조성하고 거칠기가 다른 두 강관말뚝을 항타높이를 200mm와 500mm로 나누어 근입깊이 600mm까지 설치한다. 그리고 콘 장비의 유무에 따라 총 8가지 케이스를 나누어 말뚝의 지지력을 분석하였다. 말뚝의 항타높이, 말뚝의 거칠기, 콘 장비의 유무에 따른 세 가지 변수 중 항타높이가 약 70%로 지지력에 미치는 영향이 가장 컸으며 다음으로 콘 장비의 유무가 약 40%, 말뚝의 거칠기가 약 21%로 나타났다.

Numerical studies are performed to predict the stress-strain behavior of rectangular RC columns confined by multi-spiral hoops under axial and eccentric compressions. Using the commercial finite element package ABAQUS, the Drucker-Prager criterion and the yield surface are adopted for damaged plasticity concrete. The proposed finite element models are compared with the published experimental data. Parametric studies on concrete grades, confinement arrangement, diameter and spacing of hoops and eccentricity of load are followed. Numerical results have shown good agreements with experimental values, and indicated a proper constitutive law and model for concrete. Cross-sectional areas and spacing of the hoops have significant effect on the bearing capacity. It can be concluded that rectangular RC columns confined by multi-spiral hoops show better performance than the conventional ones.

In this paper, a failure model for co-cured steel-composite tubular single lap joints has been proposed incorporating the nonlinear mechanical behavior of steel adherends and different failure mode s such as steel adherend failure and composite adherend failure. The characteristics of the co-cured steel-composite tubular single lap joint were investigated with respect to the test temperature, the stacking sequence of composite adherend, the thickness ratio of steel adherend to composite adherend, and the scarf ratio of steel adherend. Thus, the optimum design method for the co-cured steel-composite tubular single lap joint was suggested.
