This study presents the attenuation characteristics of the first guided longitudinal wave mode propagating in water-filled, buried steel pipes in order to investigate the effects of soil saturation and compaction on the attenuation patterns. For numerical calculation of attenuation, 10 different combinations of S-wave velocity, P-wave velocity, and soil densities were considered. From the attenuation dispersion curves, which were obtained using Disperse software, we determined that the attenuation decreases as saturation increases, whereas it increases as compaction increases. Over the frequency range from 0.2 to 0.4 MHz, the first longitudinal wave mode has attenuations that are relatively lower than for other ranges, is faster than the first flexural wave mode, and is sensitive to defects aligned in the axial direction. Hence, the first longitudinal wave mode over the mentioned frequency range would be the proper choice for long-range buried pipelines that transport water.

강바닥판의 횡리브 복부판에서는 전단력과 비틀림 모멘트가 작용하는 동시에 종리브의 비틀림으로 인한 면내외 변형이 작용하기 때문에 교차부와 컷아웃부에 응력집중현상이 발생한다. 본 연구는 피로균열 발생사례가 가장 높은 교차부와 컷아웃부에서의 응력집중현상 완화를 통하여 피로성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 구조상세를 개발하기 위하여 수행되었다. 다이아프램의 설치는 교차부와 컷아웃부에서의 응력집중현상 완화효과에 유리한 구조상세이다. 다이아프램의 위치에 대한 응력집중의 양상을 분석하기 위해서 다이아프램 위치를 횡리브 복부판과 일치된 곳으로부터 교축방향으로 이동시켜 가며 그 응답을 수치적으로 분석하였다. 또한 컷아웃폭을 대상으로 매개변수해석을 수행하여 최대응력 감소효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 다이아프램은 횡리브 복부판과 횡리브 축 방향으로 일치되도록 설치하는 것이 응력집중현상을 완화시켜 구조성능 개선에 유리한 구조상세임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 어떤 경우에도 다이아프램을 설치하지 않은 경우보다는 설치한 경우가 피로성능에 유리함을 알 수 있었다. 컷아웃폭은 바닥강판으로부터 종리브 바닥판면까지의 거리($y_{gotal}$)에 대한 바닥강판으로부터 컷아웃부의 종리브와 횡리브 교차점까지의 거리($y_i$)의 비($y_i/y_{total}$) 0.85가 되도록 컷아웃폭을 설정하는 경우가 구조성능 개선에 유리한 구조상세임을 알 수 있었다.

강바닥판 교량은 비교적 얇은 강판을 서로 용접에 의해 연결한 구조물로서 많은 양의 용접을 피할 수 없다. 강바닥판의 횡리브 복부판에서는 전단력과 비틀림 모멘트가 작용하는 동시에 종리브의 비틀림으로 인한 면내 면외 변형이 작용하기 때문에 종리브-횡리브 복부판-데크플레이트 교차부 및 횡리브복부판 컷아웃(슬릿)부에서 응력집중 현상이 두드러지게 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 강바닥판 구조형식의 피로성능 향상 효과가 큰 교차부에 스캘럽을 두지 않는 동시에 종리브 내부에 횡리브 복부판면과 일치되게 다이아프램을 설치하면 컷아웃부 및 교차부에서의 응력집중 감소효과가 크며, 특히 다이아프램의 설치가 컷아웃부에서의 응력집중 감소효과에 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 연구결과를 바탕으로 다이아프램 상하부면 곡률반경을 대상으로 매개변수해석을 수행한 결과 피로성능에 영향이 큰 응력집중 감소효과가 큰 최적 다이아프램형상을 도출하였다. 또한 최적 다이아프램 형상을 바탕으로 피로성능 향상에 유리한 다이아프램 최적 설치위치를 도출하였다.

연속 강합성 교량에 종방향 프리스트레스를 도입해야 하는 프리캐스트 바닥판을 적용하기 위해서는 균열제어를 위한 사용성 설계가 이루어져야 한다. 특히, 2거더 교량의 경우에는 장지간 바닥판의 설계에서 요구되는 주철근 및 횡방향 프리스트레스와 합성설계를 위해 요구되는 전단포켓의 존재로 인해서 상세가 복잡해지게 된다. 이 논문에서는 2거더 연속강합성 교량의 프리캐스트 바닥판 채용을 위해서 필요한 유효 프리스트레스 크기의 산정과 상세의 단순화를 이루기 위해서 부착강도를 인정할 수 있는 채움재료의 선정 및 그 기준을 제시하였다. 또한, 장기거동에 대한 평가 방안을 제시하고 그 결과로부터 초기 프리스트레스의 크기 결정을 수행하여 기존의 설계의 개선 정도를 평가하였다. 일정 수준이상의 부착강도를 갖는 채움재료를 부모멘트가 크게 발생하는 영역에 사용하면 연속 강합성 교량의 전구간에 걸쳐서 일정한 종방향 프리스트레스 도입이 가능하고 이로 인해 상세의 단순화 및 경제성을 높일 수 있다.

This paper presents results from experimental and numerical studies on the response of steel-concrete composite box bridge girders under certain localized fire exposure conditions. Two composite box bridge girders, a simply supported girder and a continuous girder respectively, were tested under simultaneous loading and fire exposure. The simply supported girder was exposed to fire over 40% of its span length in the middle zone, and the two-span continuous girder was exposed to fire over 38% of its length of the first span and full length of the second span. A measurement method based on comparative rate of deflection was provided to predict the failure time in the hogging moment zone of continuous composite box bridge girders under certain localized fire exposure condition. Parameters including transverse and longitudinal stiffeners and fire scenarios were introduced to investigate fire resistance of the composite box bridge girders. Test results show that failure of the simply supported girder is governed by the deflection limit state, whereas failure of the continuous girder occurs through bending buckling of the web and bottom slab in the hogging moment zone. Deflection based criterion may not be reliable in evaluating failure of continuous composite box bridge girder under certain fire exposure condition. The fire resistance (failure time) of the continuous girder is higher than that of the simply supported girder. Data from fire tests is successfully utilized to validate a finite element based numerical model for further investigating the response of composite box bridge girders exposed to localized fire. Results from numerical analysis show that fire resistance of composite box bridge girders can be highly influenced by the spacing of longitudinal stiffeners and fire severity. The continuous composite box bridge girder with closer longitudinal stiffeners has better fire resistance than the simply composite box bridge girder. It is concluded that the fire resistance of continuous composite box bridge girders can be significantly enhanced by preventing the hogging moment zone from exposure to fire. Longitudinal stiffeners with closer spacing can enhance fire resistance of composite box bridge girders. The increase of transverse stiffeners has no significant effect on fire resistance of composite box bridge girders.

Composite bonding steel plate (CBSP) is a newly developed type of structure strengthened technique applicable to the existing RC beam. This composite structure is applicable to strengthening the existing beam bearing high load. The strengthened beam consists of two layers of epoxy bonding prestressed steel plates and the RC beam sandwiched in between. The bonding enclosed and prestressed U-shaped steel jackets are applied at the beam sides. This technique is adopted in case of structures with high longitudinal reinforcing bar ratio and impracticable unloading. The prestress can be generated on the strengthening steel plates and jackets by using the CBSP technique before loading. The test results of full-scale CBSP strengthened beams show that the strength and stiffness are enhanced without reduction of their ductility. It is demonstrated that the strain hysteresis effect can be effectively overcome after prestressing on the steel plates by using such technique. The applied plates and jackets can jointly behave together with the existing beam under the action of epoxy bonding and the mechanical anchorage of the steel jackets. The simplified formulas are proposed to calculate the prestress and the ultimate capacities of strengthened beams. The accuracy of formulas was verified with the experimental results.

Based on the experiment, this paper focuses on studying flexural behavior of splicing concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) tubular composite members connected with steel bars. The test results indicated the confinement effects of GFRP tubes on the concrete core in compression zone began to produce, when the load reached about $50%P_u$ ($P_u$-ultimate load), but the confinement effects in tensile zone was unobvious. In addition, the failure modes of composite members were influenced by the steel ratio of the joint. For splicing unreinforced composite members, the steel ratio more than 1.96% could satisfy the splicing requirements and the steel ratio 2.94% was ideal comparatively. For splicing reinforced specimen, the bearing capacity of specimen with 3.92% steel ratio was higher 21.4% than specimen with 2.94% steel ratio and the latter was higher 21.2% than the contrast non-splicing specimen, which indicated that the steel ratio more than 2.94% could satisfy the splicing requirements and both splicing ways used in the experiment were feasible. So, the optimal steel ratio 2.94% was suggested economically. The experimental results also indicated that the carrying capacity and ductility of splicing concrete-filled GFRP tubular composite members could be improved by setting internal longitudinal rebars.

In this study, in order to propose an efficient model to predict the torque capacity of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams, the existing experimental data related to torsional response of beams is reviewed. It is observed that existing data neglects the effects of some parameters on the variation of torque capacity. Thus, an experimental research was also conducted to obtain the effects of neglected parameters. In the experimental study, a total of seventeen SFRC beams are tested against torsion. The parameters considered in the experiments are concrete compressive strength, steel fiber aspect ratio, volumetric ratio of steel fibers and longitudinal reinforcement ratio. The effect of each parameter is discussed in terms of torque versus unit angle of twist graphs. The data obtained from this experimental research is also combined with the data got from previous studies and employed in artificial neural network (ANN) analysis to estimate the ultimate torque capacity of SFRC beams. In addition to parameters considered in the experiments, aspect ratio of beam cross-section, yield strengths of both transverse and longitudinal reinforcements, and transverse reinforcement ratio are also defined as parameters in ANN analysis due to their significant effects observed in previous studies. Assessment of the accuracy of ANN analysis in estimating the ultimate torque capacity of SFRC beams is performed by comparing the analytical and experimental results. Comparisons are conducted in terms of root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of efficiency ($E_f$). The results of this study revealed that addition of steel fibers increases the ultimate torque capacity of reinforced concrete beams. It is also found that ANN is a powerful method and a feasible tool to estimate ultimate torque capacity of both normal and high strength concrete beams within the range of input parameters considered.

This paper shows an optimal design for reinforced concrete rectangular combined footings based on a criterion of minimum cost. The classical design method for reinforced concrete rectangular combined footings is: First, a dimension is proposed that should comply with the allowable stresses (Minimum stress should be equal or greater than zero, and maximum stress must be equal or less than the allowable capacity withstand by the soil); subsequently, the effective depth is obtained due to the maximum moment and this effective depth is checked against the bending shear and the punching shear until, it complies with these conditions, and then the steel reinforcement is obtained, but this is not guaranteed that obtained cost is a minimum cost. A numerical experimentation shows the model capability to estimate the minimum cost design of the materials used for a rectangular combined footing that supports two columns under an axial load and moments in two directions at each column in accordance to the building code requirements for structural concrete and commentary (ACI 318S-14). Numerical experimentation is developed by modifying the values of the rectangular combined footing to from "d" (Effective depth), "b" (Short dimension), "a" (Greater dimension), "${\rho}_{P1}$" (Ratio of reinforcement steel under column 1), "${\rho}_{P2}$" (Ratio of reinforcement steel under column 2), "${\rho}_{yLB}$" (Ratio of longitudinal reinforcement steel in the bottom), "${\rho}_{yLT}$" (Ratio of longitudinal reinforcement steel at the top). Results show that the optimal design is more economical and more precise with respect to the classical design. Therefore, the optimal design presented in this paper should be used to obtain the minimum cost design for reinforced concrete rectangular combined footings.
