Recently, in newly constructed apartment buildings, the exterior wall structures have been characterized by thinness, having various openings, and a significantly low reinforcement ratio. In this study, a nonlinear finite element analysis was performed to investigate the crack damage characteristics of the exterior wall structure. The limited analysis models for a 10-story exterior wall were constructed based on the prototype apartment building, and nonlinear static analysis (push-over analysis) was performed. Based on the finite element (FE) analysis model, the parametric study was conducted to investigate the effects of various design parameters on the strength and crack width of the exterior walls. As the parameters, the vertical reinforcement ratio and horizontal reinforcement ratio of the wall, as well as the uniformly distributed longitudinal reinforcement ratio and shear reinforcement ratio of the connection beam, were addressed. The analysis results showed that the strength and deformation capacity of the prototype exterior walls were limited by the failure of the connection beam prior to the flexural yielding of the walls. Thus, the increase of wall reinforcement limitedly affected the failure modes, peak strengths, and crack damages. On the other hand, when the reinforcement ratio of the connection beams was increased, the peak strength was increased due to the increase in the load-carrying capacity of the connection beams. Further, the crack damage index decreased as the reinforcement ratio of the connection beam increased. In particular, it was more effective to increase the uniformly distributed longitudinal reinforcement ratio in the connection beams to decrease the crack damage of the coupling beams, regardless of the type of the prototype exterior walls.

Crack behavior of steel fiber concrete(SFC) and reinforced steel fiber concrete(RSFC) specimens has been experimentally and analytical investigated. Clack behavior of RSFC beams influenced by longitudinal reinforcement ratio, volume and type of steel fiber, strenth of concrete. It can be observed from experimental result that addition of steel fiber to concrete specimen reduce crack width and increases stiffness, and thus enhances the behavior in serviceability limit states also high cyclic loading

공용중인 터널의 조사 및 평가는 시설물안전법의 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 세부지침(터널)편에 따라 외관조사와 내구성조사를 근거하여 상태평가를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 종방향균열의 발생요인 파악을 위해 준공 후 10년이 경과되어 최초 정밀안전진단이 실시된 NATM터널 12개에 대해 균열과 라이닝의 두께를 검토하여, 이를 반영한 상태평가 수정사항을 모색하였다. 종방향균열에 대한 굴착지반의 영향을 검토하기 위해 지보패턴, 이를 구성하는 지보재 시공 조건, 라이닝의 재료적 특성, GPR탐사를 통한 라이닝 두께 등을 터널 형상 및 용도에 따라 4개의 그룹으로 나누어 자료를 분석하였다. 균열발생밀도는 숏크리트, 록볼트, 강지보재의 지보재 지지능력에 따라 변화되나 굴착지보패턴에 따른 균열발생과의 연관성은 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 라이닝 재료적인 특징인 물-시멘트비, 시멘트함유량, 강도 등이 균열발생에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, GPR탐사의 라이닝 두께를 반영한 상태평가에서는 평균 0.03 정도(분포, 0.001~0.071)의 점수증가를 야기하는 것으로 확인되어 향후 라이닝 두께 부족을 고려하는 현실적인 상태평가 방안에 대한 검토가 필요하다.

강바닥판의 구조상세에 대하여 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으나, 대부분의 연구가 표준형의 U-rib를 대상으로 실시되었을 뿐, 강바닥판 건설초기의 개단면리브형식에 대한 연구는 미진한 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구에서는 공용연수 31년된 개단면세로리브형식의 강바닥판 교량의 피로균열 발생 원인을 조사하기 위하여 실교통류하에서의 계측 데이터를 통하여 대상구조상세의 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 상세구조해석을 통하여 대상교량을 통과하는 대표트럭하중을 추정하고, 상세영향면해석을 이용하여 대상구조상세의 응력 및 변형특성을 분석하였다. 이들 분석에 기초하여 피로균열이 발생된 대상구조상세의 보강방안을 제시하고, 이에 대한 타당성을 검증하였다. 연구결과, 개단면리브에서의 피로균열의 발생원인은 개단면부에서의 전단변형에 의한 응력증가 및 차량의 이동에 따른 교번응력의 발생에 기인하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 국부구조상세에 대한 피로설계에서는 구조상세의 거동특성이 충분히 반영된 상세해석에 근거한 설계를 실시하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The Newman-Raju formula and contour integral-based finite element analyses(FEAs) have been widely used to assess crack growth rates and residual lives at crack locations in ships or offshore structures, but the Newman-Raju formula is known to be less accurate for the complicated weld details and the conventional FEA-based contour integral approach needs concentrated efforts to construct FEA models. Recently, an extended finite element method(XFEM) has been proposed to reduce those modeling efforts with reliable accuracy. Stress intensity factors(SIFs) from the approaches such as the Newman-Raju formula, conventional FEA-based J-integral, and XFEM-based J-integral were compared for an infinitely long plate with a propagating elliptic crack. It was concluded that the XFEM approach was far reliable in terms of prediction ability of SIFs. Assuming a 25 year-aged coast guard patrol ship had the prescribed cracks at the bracket toes attached to longitudinal stiffeners in way of deck and bottom, SIFs were derived based on the three approaches. To obtain axial tension loads acting on the longitudinal stiffeners, long term hull girder bending moments were assumed to obey Weibull distribution of which two parameters were decided from a reference (DNV, 2014). For the complicated weld details, it was concluded that the XFEM approach could cost-effectively and accurately estimate the crack growth rates and residual lives of ship structures.

The occurrence of longitudinal cracking in concrete deck of box girder bridge is affected by many factors, but the most important factors are the shrinkage and thermal gradient of deck slabs. In this study, therefore, the tensile stresses at the bottom of deck were calculated from the experimental data(autogeneous shrinkage, drying shrinkage, and thermal gradient of deck slab). Also, the possibility of longitudinal cracks at bottom of deck was estimated. For this purpose, full-scale box girder segments have been fabricated and tested. The thermal gradients and shrinkage strains of deck slabs were measured after placement of concrete. Also, analytic program was conducted for the evaluation of longitudinal cracking in bridge deck considering differential shrinkage induced from non-uniform moisture distributions in concrete.

Although many structures. with high strength concrete have been recently constructed, the flexural behavior of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams with high strength concrete is not exactly defined. This paper presents an experimental study on the flexural strength of the high strength concrete beams. Five large scale beams simply supported were tested and measured. Each beam was loaded by two symmetrical concentrated loads applied at 1.25m from the center of span. The concrete strength, the prestressed force and longitudinal tensile reinforcement ratio vary from beam to beam. From the experimental tests, the flexural strength from tests is larger than the nominal flexural strength of codes. Moreover, the initial crack-load is affected by the prestressed force and the crack width and spacing are controlled by the longitudinal tensile reinforcement ratio.

Analytical investigations were performed of a longitudinal crack representing a cylindrical surface in circular shafts loaded in torsion with taking into account the non-linear material behavior. Both functionally graded and multilayered shafts were analyzed. It was assumed that the material is functionally graded in radial direction. The mechanical behavior of shafts was modeled by using non-linear constitutive relations between the shear stresses and shear strains. The fracture was studied in terms of the strain energy release rate. Within the framework of small strain approach, the strain energy release rate was derived in a function of the torsion moments in the cross-sections ahead and behind the crack front. The analytical approach developed was applied to study the fracture in a clamped circular shaft. In order to verify the solution derived, the strain energy release rate was determined also by considering the shaft complimentary strain energy. The effects were evaluated of material properties, crack location and material non-linearity on the fracture behavior. The results obtained can be applied for optimization of the shafts structure with respect to the fracture performance. It was shown that the approach developed in the present paper is very useful for studying the longitudinal fracture in circular shafts in torsion with considering the material non-linearity.

This study investigated a method for the determination of the J-integral for a tough glassy polymer such as polycarbonate plates by using the method of caustics. Comparing the values of J-integral determined by a numerical analysis and by the method of caustics, the method of caustics was found to be an effective experimental technique for the determination of the J-integral. The ratio between two J-integrals determined by the method of caustics and by finite element method converged into 1 within the limit of low load. However, it was noticed that the greater the plastic zone at the crack tip was, the lower the J-integral obtained by the reflect method of caustics. This difference may be deduced from the damage at the crack tip such as craze appeared in the polycarbonate plate. It was confirmed that the ratio of longitudinal diameter( $D_{l}$ ) to transverse diameter ( $D_{t}$) of caustics generally converged into 1 at the low load. The transition of the state of stress at the vicinity of a crack tip from plane strain to plane stress was deduced by noticing that the longitudinal diameter( $D_{l}$ ) grew faster than the transverse diameter( $D_{t}$) of caustics within the higher load range.

In this study, a new damage identification method for beam-like structures with a fatigue crack is proposed. which does not require comparative measurement on an intact structure but require several measurements at different level of excitation forces on the cracked structure. The idea comes from the fact that dynamic behavior of a structure with a fatigue crack changes with the level of the excitation force. The 2$^{nd}$ spatial derivatives of frequency response functions along the longitudinal direction of a beam are used as the sensitive indicator of crack existence. Then, weighting function is employed in the averaging process in frequency domain to account for the modal participation of the differences between the dynamic behavior of a beam with a fatigue crack at the low excitation and one at the high excitation. Subsequently, a damage index is defined such that the location and level of the crack may be identified. It is shown from the analysis of vibration measurements in this study that comparison of frequency response characteristics of a beam with a single fatigue crack at different level of excitation forces enables an effective detection of the crack.
