A three-dimensional formulation is proposed to analyze the lateral loading distribution of external actions in high-rise buildings. The method is extended to encompass any combination of bracings, including bracings with open thin-walled cross-sections, which are analyzed in the framework of Timoshenko-Vlasov's theory of sectorial areas. More in detail, the proposed unified approach is a tool for the preliminary stages of structural design. It considers infinitely rigid floors in their own planes, and allows to better understand stress and strain distributions in the different bearing elements if compared to a finite element analysis. Numerical examples, describing the structural response of tall buildings characterized by bracings with different cross-section and height, show the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed method. The accuracy of the results is investigated by a comparison with finite element solutions, in which the bracings are modelled as three-dimensional structures by means of shell elements.

Numerical investigation of the groove trap effect with variation in the groove-edge radius of curvature is presented here. The trap effect is evaluated in a two-dimensional sliding bearing using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This simulation is based on the discrete phase model (DPM) and standard k - ε turbulence model using commercial CFD software, FLUENT. The numerical results are evaluated by comparisons with streamlines and particle trajectories in the grooves. Grooves are applied to various lubrication systems to improve their lubrication characteristics, such as load carrying capacity increment, leakage reduction, frictional loss reduction, and preventing three-body abrasive wear due to trapping effect. This study investigates the grove trapping effect for various groove-edge radius of curvature values and Reynolds numbers. The particle is assumed to be made of steel, with a circular shape, and is injected as a single particle in various positions. One-way coupling is used in the DPM model because the single particle injection condition is applied. Further, the "reflect" condition is applied to the wall boundary and "escape" condition is used for the "pressure inlet" and "pressure outlet" boundaries. From the numerical results, the groove edge radius is found to influence the groove trap effect. Moreover, the groove trap effect is more effective when applying the groove edge radius.

EDCC (Eco-Friendly Ductile Cementitious Composites) is a recently created class of engineered cementitious composites that exhibit extremely high ductility and elastoplastic behavior under pure tension. EDCC contains reduced amounts of cement and very large volumes of fly ash. Due to these properties, EDCC has become one of the solutions to use in seismic upgrading. This paper discloses previous studies and research that discussed the seismic upgrading of unreinforced, non-grouted, unconfined, and non-load bearing masonry walls which are called URM infill walls using the EDCC technique. URM infill wall is one of the weak links in the building structure to withstand the earthquake waves, as the brittle behavior of the URM infill walls behaves poorly during seismic events. The purpose of this study is to fill a knowledge gap about the theoretical and experimental ways to use the EDCC in URM infill walls. The findings reflect the ability of the EDCC to change the behavior from brittle to ductile to a certain percentage behavior, increasing the overall drift before collapse as it increases the energy dissipation, and resists significant shaking under extensive levels with various types and intensities.

In this study, the reliability analysis of internal and external stabilities of Reinforced Soil Walls (RSWs) under static and seismic loads are investigated so that it can help the geotechnical engineers to perform the design more realistically. The effect of various variables such as angle of internal soil friction, soil specific gravity, tensile strength of the reinforcements, base friction, surcharge load and finally horizontal earthquake acceleration are examined assuming the variables uncertainties. Also, the correlation coefficient impact between variables, sensitivity analysis, mean change, coefficient of variation and type of probability distribution function were evaluated. In this research, external stability (sliding, overturning and bearing capacity) and internal stability (tensile rupture and pull out) in both static and seismic conditions were investigated. Results of this study indicated sliding as the predominant failure mode in the external stability and reinforcing rupture in the internal stability. First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) are applied to estimate the reliability index (or failure probability) and results are validated using the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) method. The results showed among all variables, the internal friction angle and horizontal earthquake acceleration have dominant impact on the both reinforced soil wall internal and external stabilities limit states. Also, the type of probability distribution function affects the reliability index significantly and coefficient of variation of internal friction angle has the greatest influence in the static and seismic limits states compared to the other variables.

Incheon Bridge, 18.4 km long sea-crossing bridge, will be opened to the traffic in October 2009 and this will be the new landmark of the gearing up north-east Asia as well as the largest & longest bridge of Korea. Incheon Bridge is the integrated set of several special featured bridges including a magnificent cable-stayed girder bridge which has a main span of 800 m width to cross the navigation channel in and out of the Port of Incheon. Incheon Bridge is making an epoch of long-span bridge designs thanks to the fully application of the AASHTO LRFD (load & resistance factor design) to both the superstructures and the substructures. A state-of-the-art of the geotechnologies which were applied to the Incheon Bridge construction project is introduced. The most Large-diameter drilled shafts were penetrated into the bedrock to support the colossal superstructures. The bearing capacity and deformational characteristics of the foundations were verified through the world's largest static pile load test. 8 full-scale pilot piles were tested in both offshore site and onshore area prior to the commencement of constructions. Compressible load beyond 30,000 tonf pressed a single 3 m diameter foundation pile by means of bi-directional loading method including the Osterberg cell techniques. Detailed site investigation to characterize the subsurface properties had been carried out. Geotextile tubes, tied sheet pile walls, and trestles were utilized to overcome the very large tidal difference between ebb and flow at the foreshore site. 44 circular-cell type dolphins surround the piers near the navigation channel to protect the bridge against the collision with aberrant vessels. Each dolphin structure consists of the flat sheet piled wall and infilled aggregates to absorb the collision impact. Geo-centrifugal tests were performed to evaluate the behavior of the dolphin in the seabed and to verify the numerical model for the design. Rip-rap embankments on the seabed are expected to prevent the scouring of the foundation. Prefabricated vertical drains, sand compaction piles, deep cement mixings, horizontal natural-fiber drains, and other subsidiary methods were used to improve the soft ground for the site of abutments, toll plazas, and access roads. Light-weight backfill using EPS blocks helps to reduce the earth pressure behind the abutment on the soft ground. Some kinds of reinforced earth like as MSE using geosynthetics were utilized for the ring wall of the abutment. Soil steel bridges made of corrugated steel plates and engineered backfills were constructed for the open-cut tunnel and the culvert. Diverse experiences of advanced designs and constructions from the Incheon Bridge project have been propagated by relevant engineers and it is strongly expected that significant achievements in geotechnical engineering through this project will contribute to the national development of the longspan bridge technologies remarkably.

도로성토 하중저감공법중의 하나인 EPS공법은 초 경량재(20~30kg/m3)로서 연약지반상에 성토재로 사용하여 지반의 유효응력 증가분을 최소화함으로써 지지력과 침하에 대한 안정성을 쉽게 확보할 수 있고, 옹벽.교대등의 구조물 뒤채움재나 응급 복구용 채움재로 활용할 경우 토압 경감효과를 기대할 수 있다. 그러나 아직까지 국내에서는 공학적 성토 재료로서 활용하기 위한 물성 시험 방법이 정확히 확립되어 있지 않고 보온 재료로서의 시험 방법 및 품질 규정만이 KS에 규정되어 있다. 그로 인해 생산되는 EPS의 체계적인 토질공학적 시험 데이터 없이 성토 재료로 사용하고 있는 실정이다.따라서 본 연구에서는 공학적 재료로 활용하기 위해 필요한 강도특성, 변형특성, 흡수특성, 크리프특성 등에 대해 시험을 통하여 공학적 특성을 규명하였고, 보다 적합한 품질 규정의 제정 필요성과 일축압축강도에 의한 설계기준강도를 제안하였다.

For the large deformation of shear walls under vertical and horizontal loads, there are difficulties in obtaining accurate simulation results using the response analysis method, even with fine mesh elements. Furthermore, concrete material nonlinearity, stiffness degradation, concrete cracking and crushing, and steel bar damage may occur during the large deformation of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls. Matrix operations that are involved in nonlinear analysis using the traditional finite-element method (FEM) may also result in flaws, and may thus lead to serious errors. To solve these problems, a planar four-node element was developed based on vector mechanics. Owing to particle-based formulation along the path element, the method does not require repeated constructions of a global stiffness matrix for the nonlinear behavior of the structure. The nonlinear concrete constitutive model and bilinear steel material model are integrated with the developed element, to ensure that large deformation and damage behavior can be addressed. For verification, simulation analyses were performed to obtain experimental results on an RC shear wall subjected to a monotonically increasing lateral load with a constant vertical load. To appropriately evaluate the parameters, investigations were conducted on the loading speed, meshing dimension, and the damping factor, because vector mechanics is based on the equation of motion. The static problem was then verified to obtain a stable solution by employing a balanced equation of motion. Using the parameters obtained, the simulated pushover response, including the bearing capacity, deformation ability, curvature development, and energy dissipation, were found to be in accordance with the experimental observation. This study demonstrated the potential of the developed planar element for simulating the entire process of large deformation and damage behavior in RC shear walls.

본 연구에서는 겨울철 타설된 콘크리트 표면을 낮은 열전도율 재료로 덮어 주므로서 우수한 단열성을 갖으며, 높은 전용성으로 경제성까지 뛰어난 2중 버블시트에 의한 표면피복 양생공법에 대하여 검토하였다. 하지만, 벽식구조 건축물 시공의 경우 버블시트로 포설되는 슬래브 부분은 초기동해를 방지할 수 있지만, 노출 철근 부분의 경우 버블시트의 포설이 까다롭기 때문에 이 부분에 대한 양생법 변화는 초기동해 피해 여부와 관련하여 의구심이 제기되고 있다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 실제 시공중인 벽식구조 Apt 현장의 벽체부분을 동절기 저온 조건하에서 시공하는 것을 모사하여 각종 표면피복 양생방법 변화에 따른 매립 및 노출철근 부분의 위치별 온도 분포 특성을 분석하여 효율적인 양생방법을 제안하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 여러 양생방법 중 D방법의 양생이 가장 우수하게 초기동해를 방지할 수 있는 것으로 판명되었다. 그러나, 시공의 효율성 및 시공의 편리성 까지도 감안하면 철근과 철근의 간격부 만큼에 버블시트를 좁은 폭으로 잘라 덮어주는 B방법도 우수한 방법으로 추천된다.

인구 및 기술의 변화속도가 빠른 현재 상황에서 장수명주택인증은 건물의 물리적 및 기능적 수명 연장 견인책이다. 장수명주택 인증요건인 가변성과 수리용이성은 인필요소를 구조와 구분하여 교체 및 변경하도록 유도한다. 이러한 방식은 공업화주택의 특징과도 부합하여 설계 및 시공방법의 변화로 두 가지 주택 유형은 함께 활성화될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 특징을 고려하여 OSC공법을 활용한 공동주택 모델이 장수명주택 인증기준을 충족하도록 계획하였다. 이러한 결과로 평면가변성 및 설비배관의 설치방법, 화장실 공사 방법 등을 습식 공법과는 다른 방식을 적용하여 제시하였다. 가변형 평면은 22m²와 46m²의 두 가지 타입 평면을 확장하여 69m²평면을 만드는 세대통합방법 그리고 가변 가능한 건식패널 벽체를 활용하여 69m²평면을 여러 가지로 계획하는 방법을 제안했다. 이러한 가변성은 9m×10.5m 스팬의 강콘크리트 합성구조 및 일체형 슬래브로 SI시스템 중 서포트 부분을 구성하고 비내력 외벽 및 내벽, 배관 등을 인필부분으로 구분하여 건축구성재를 부품화하는 방식으로 만들 수 있다. 이러한 서포트와 인필 분리 만으로도 시공법과 관련된 기준을 상당부분 충족할 수 있다. 현재 인필요소를 교체 용이하게 하는 기술은 탄소저감 등에서 국가에 편익이 증가할 수 있으므로 활성화를 위해 세제혜택 등의 인센티브 도입을 검토할 필요가 있다.
