The objective of this paper is to obtain three-dimensional (3D) effective properties for layered composites with imperfect interfaces using mechanics of structure genome. The imperfect interface is modeled using linear traction-displacement model that allows small infinitesimal displacement jump across the interface. The predictions obtained from the current analysis are compared with the 3D finite element analysis (FEA). In this study, it is found that the present model shows excellent agreement with the results obtained using 3D FEA by employing periodic boundary conditions. The prediction also reveals that in-plane longitudinal and shear moduli, and all Poisson's ratios are observed to be not affected by the interfacial stiffness while the predictions of transverse longitudinal and shear moduli are significantly influenced by interfacial stiffness.

This paper is a part of a research plan aimed at the verification of basic design rules of high-strength concrete columns. A total of 19 slender column specimens were tested to measure secondary moment and stiffness of eccentrically loaded reinforced concrete tied columns. Main variables included in this test program were concrete compressive strength, steel amount, eccentricity, and slenderness ratio. The concrete compressive strength varied from 356kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to 951kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the longitudinal steel ratios were between 1.13% and 5.51%, and slenderness ratios were 40 and 61. Calculated moment magnification factors and column stiffness based on design codes are higher than the test results for high axial load under small eccentricity, for higher slenderness ratio, for lower longitudinal steel ratio, and for high-strength concrete. The moment magnification method of the current design codes may provide a very conservative design for high-strength concrete slender column.

Scaled centrifuge modelling techniques were used to study the soil-structure interactions and performance of a jointed rollable aluminium roadway (or trackway) system on soft clay under light truck tyre loads. The measured performance and subsequent analyses highlighted that the articulated connections significantly reduced the overall longitudinal flexural stiffness of the roadway leading to stress concentrations in the soil below the joints under tyred vehicle loadings. This resulted in rapid localised failure of the supporting soil that in turn led to excessive transverse flexure of the roadway and ultimately plastic deformations. It is shown that the performance of rollable roadway systems under tyred vehicle trafficking will be improved by eliminating joint rotation to increase longitudinal stiffness.

The objective of this research is to evaluate of seismic performance for reinforced concrete bridge piers with lap splices of longitudinal reinforcement steels using predict of nonlinear hysteric behavior. For the purpose, analytical trilinear hysteretic model has been used to simulate the force displacement hysteretic curve of RC bridge piers under repeated reversal loads. The moment capacity and corresponding curvature in the plastic hinge have been determined, and the enhanced hysteretic behavior model by five different kinds of branches has been proposed for modeling the stiffness variation of RC section under cyclic loading. The strength and stiffness degradation index are introduced to compute the hysteretic curve vary confinement steel ratio. In addition, the modified curvature factor has been introduced to forecast of seismic performance of longitudinal steel lap spliced and retrofitted specimens.

강바닥판 피로손상을 억제할 수 있는 유효한 방법의 하나로 데크 플레이트의 판 두께를 증가시키거나 세로리브의 보강 등에 의한 강성 증가를 고려할 수 있는데, 이 강성증가는 일반적으로 윤하중에 의한 강바닥판의 국부변형 억제 등에 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강바닥판교의 피로균열이 빈번히 발생해 가장 문제가 되는 U-rib와 가로리브 연결 상세부의 발생응력을 최소화할 수 있도록 벌크헤드플레이트나 수직리브와 같은 보강상세의 부착에 따른 변수로 정밀 구조해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 벌크헤드플레이트는 전체적으로 연결 상세부의 주응력을 경감시키나, 피로균열이 발생되는 용접 지단부에서는 오히려 응력집중이 커지는 경향을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 수직리브는 용접 지단부에서 응력집중을 경감시키는 효과를 나타내어 벌크헤드플레이트의 보강보다는 수직리브의 보강이 더 효율적일 것으로 판단된다.

This paper aims to investigate the seismic behavior and influence parameters of the large-scaled thin-walled reinforced concrete (RC) tubular columns in air-cooled supporting structures of thermal power plants (TPPs). Cyclic loading tests and finite element analysis were performed on 1/8-scaled specimens considering the influence of wall diameter ratio, axial compression ratio, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, stirrup reinforcement ratio and adding steel diagonal braces (SDBs). The research results showed that the cracks mainly occurred on the lower half part of RC tubular columns during the cyclic loading test; the specimen with the minimum wall diameter ratio presented the earlier cracking and had the most cracks; the failure mode of RC tubular columns was large bias compression failure; increasing the axial compression ratio could increase the lateral bearing capacity and energy dissipation capacity, but also weaken the ductility and aggravate the lateral stiffness deterioration; increasing the longitudinal reinforcement ratio could efficiently enhance the seismic behavior; increasing the stirrup reinforcement ratio was favorable to the ductility; RC tubular columns with SDBs had a much higher bearing capacity and lateral stiffness than those without SDBs, and with the decrease of the angle between columns and SDBs, both bearing capacity and lateral stiffness increased significantly.

콘크리트 교량 상에 고속철도의 자갈 궤도가 시공될 경우 장대 레일의 종방향 변위가 고정된 반면 교량 바닥판 슬래브의 종방향 변위가 고정되지 않고, 온도 하중과 외부 하중에 의해 교량과 레일의 상대 변위가 발생한다. 현재 장대 레일 자갈 궤도에 대한 종방향 저항력(KR C-08080, UIC code 774-3)은 교량의 종방향 변위와 자갈 궤도와 콘크리트 슬래브 사이의 마찰력을 고려하고 있지 않다. 또한 종방향 저항력 값은 다소 보수적이어서 철도교의 장경간 및 연속화에 불리한 요소로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 실제의 거동을 보다 효과적으로 반영하기 위해 장대 레일의 종저항력은 콘크리트 슬래브와 궤도 사이의 추가적인 강성을 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 바닥판과 도상 궤도를 모사한 실대형 실험체(mock-up test specimen)를 제작하여, 교량 상에 설치된 도상 궤도의 종저항력을 측정하였고, 또한 차륜 하중의 재하 유무에 대해서도 그 거동을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 최대 종저항력은 현재의 코드와 유사한 경향을 보였으나, 한계 변위까지의 강성은 현재의 코드보다 실험 결과가 작게 측정되는 것으로 나타났다.

Reasonable estimates of tunnel lining dislocations in the operation stage, especially under longitudinal differential settlement, are important for the design of waterproof gaskets. In this paper, a modified shell-joint model is proposed to calculate shield tunnel dislocations under longitudinal differential settlement, with the ability to consider the nonlinear shear stiffness of the joint. In the case of shell elements in the model, an elastoplastic damage constitutive model was adopted to describe the nonlinear stress-strain relationship of concrete. After verifying its applicability and correctness against a full-scale tunnel test and a joint shear test, the proposed model was used to analyze the dislocation behaviors of a shield tunnel in Shanghai Metro Line 2 under longitudinal differential settlement. Based on the results, when the tunnel structure is solely subjected to water-earth load, circumferential and longitudinal joint dislocations are all less than 0.1 mm. When the tunnel suffers longitudinal differential settlement and the curvature radius of the differential settlement is less than 300 m, although maximum longitudinal joint dislocation is still less than 0.1 mm, the maximum circumferential joint dislocation is approximately 10.3 mm, which leads to leakage and damage of the tunnel structure. However, with concavo-convex tenons applied to circumferential joints, the maximum dislocation value reduces to 4.5 mm.

The paper deals with the applications of spectral finite element method to the dynamic analysis of framed foundations supporting high speed machines. Comparative performance of approximate dynamic stiffness methods formulated using static stiffness and lumped or consistent or average mass matrices with the exact spectral finite element for a three dimensional Euler-Bernoulli beam element is presented. The convergence of response computed using mode superposition method with the appropriate dynamic stiffness method as the number of modes increase is illustrated. Frequency proportional discretisation level required for mode superposition and approximate dynamic stiffness methods is outlined. It is reiterated that the results of exact dynamic stiffness method are invariant with reference to the discretisation level. The Eigen-frequencies of the system are evaluated using William-Wittrick algorithm and Sturm number generation in the $LDL^T$ decomposition of the real part of the dynamic stiffness matrix, as they cannot be explicitly evaluated. Major's method for dynamic analysis of machine supporting structures is modified and the plane frames are replaced with springs of exact dynamic stiffness and dynamically flexible longitudinal frames. Results of the analysis are compared with exact values. The possible simplifications that could be introduced for a typical machine induced excitation on a framed structure are illustrated and the developed program is modified to account for dynamic constraint equations with a master slave degree of freedom (DOF) option.

This study is performed to investigate the behavior of multi-column piers and to evaluate the seismic performance. In this study, 3 types of scale model piers with 2-column are designed and tested by quasi-static load in both longitudinal and transverse directions. Each type of model consisting of 2 specimens has different reinforcement details in the lap splice of longitudinal bars and amount of transverse reinforcements. This paper reports that relatively large amount of ductility can be achieved by providing sufficient lap-splice length and transverse reinforcements with end hook even if longitudinal bars are lap spliced in the base of pier. But because multi-column piers have small longitudinal stiffness, careful consideration is needed in case of multi-span continuous bridges.
