The accurate prediction of elastoplasticity under prescribed workloads is essential in the optimization of engineering structures. Mechanical experiments are carried out with the goal of obtaining reliable sets of material parameters for a chosen constitutive law via inverse identification. In this work, two sample geometries made of high strength steel plates were evaluated to determine the optimal configuration for the identification of Ludwik's nonlinear isotropic hardening law. Finite element model updating(FEMU) was used to calibrate the material parameters. FEMU computes the parameter changes based on the Hessian matrix, and the sensitivity fields that report changes of computed fields with respect to material parameter changes. A sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the influence of the sample geometry on parameter identifiability. It was concluded that the sample with thinned gauge region with a large curvature radius provided more reliable material parameters.

Timber-Concrete Composite construction system consists of combining timber beam or deck and concrete with different connectors. Different fastener types are used in Timber-Concrete Composite systems. In this paper, the effects of two types of fasteners on structural behavior are compared. First, the notches were opened on timber beam, and combined with reinforced concrete slab by fasteners. This system is called as Notched Connection System. Then, timber beam and reinforced concrete slab were combined by new type designed fasteners in another model. This system is called as Notched-Slab Approach. Two laboratory models were constructed and bending tests were performed to examine the fasteners' effectiveness. Bending test results have shown that heavy damage to concrete slab occurs in Notched Connection System applications and the system becomes unusable. However, in Notched-Slab Approach applications, the damage concentrated on the fastener in the metal notch created in the slab, and no damage occurred in the concrete slab. In addition, non-destructive experimental measurements were conducted to determine the dynamic characteristics. To validate the experimental results, initial finite element models of both systems were constituted in ANSYS software using orthotropic material properties, and numerical dynamic characteristics were calculated. Finite element models of Timber-Concrete Composite systems are updated to minimize the differences by manual model updating procedure using some uncertain parameters such as material properties and boundary conditions.

해상풍력터빈 하부구조물은 중요한 기능의 수행, 접근성의 제약 등으로 인하여 건전성 모니터링을 통한 효과적 유지관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 해상풍력터빈 트라이포드 하부구조물의 건전성 모니터링을 위한 기저모델개선 및 결함추정 기법을 실험적으로 연구한다. 우선 하부구조물 건전성 모니터링을 위한 절차를 제안한 후 이 과정을 트라이포드 하부구조물 축소모형에 대하여 적용한다. 즉, 축소모형에 대한 초기 기저모델을 수치적으로 수립한 후 모드특성을 추정하고, 건전상태 진동실험 결과로부터 구한 고유주파수와 모드형상을 기준으로 기저모델을 개선하는데, 이때 구조물의 경계조건을 고려하고 신경망기법을 이용한다. 이후, 개선된 기저모델을 이용하여 신경망의 훈련패턴을 생성하고, 손상상태 진동실험 결과로부터 구한 모드특성을 훈련된 신경망에 입력함으로써 결함을 추정한다. 유효고정부 모델을 이용하여, 건전상태에서 측정된 모드특성에 맞추어 합리적으로 기저모델을 수립할 수 있었다. 또한, 축소모형에 대한 손상실험을 수행하였는데, 4가지 손상경우에 대하여 손상을 추정한 결과, 합리적으로 손상위치를 추정할 수 있었으며, 실제 손상정도가 심해질수록 손상정도 추정치도 증가하였다. 그러나 손상정도가 상대적으로 미소한 경우, 해당 손상위치가 판정은 되지만 다른 위치와 비교하여 확실한 손상위치의 식별이 어려웠다. 향후, 이러한 미소손상 추정 및 손상정도 추정치의 강성감소에 대한 정량화 등에 대한 후속연구가 수반된다면, 해상풍력터빈 트라이포드 하부구조물의 건전성 모니터링에 제안 기법을 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The use of advanced fibre composite materials in bridge engineering offers alternative solutions to structural problems compared to traditional construction materials. Advanced composite or fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials have high strength to weight ratios, which can be especially beneficial where dead load or material handling considerations govern a design. However, the reduced weight and stiffness of FRP footbridges results in generally poorer dynamic performance, and vibration serviceability is likely to govern their design to avoid the footbridge being "too lively". This study investigates the dynamic behaviour of the 51.3 m span Wilcott FRP suspension footbridge. The assessment is performed through a combination of field testing and finite element analysis, and the measured performance of the bridge is being used to calibrate the model through an updating procedure. The resulting updated model allowed detailed interpretation of the results. It showed that non-structural members such as the parapets can influence the dynamic behaviour of slender, lightweight footbridges, and consequently their contribution must be included during the dynamic assessment of a structure. The test data showed that the FRP footbridge is prone to pedestrian induced vibrations, although the measured response levels were lower than limits specified in relevant standards.

The effects of foundation scour depth and riverbed condition on the natural frequencies of a typical cross-river integral abutment bridge have been studied. The conventional operational modal analysis technique has been employed in order to extract the modal properties of the bridge and the results have been used in the Finite Element (FE) model updating procedure. Two tests have been carried out in two different levels of water and wet condition of the riverbed. In the first test, the riverbed was in dry condition for two subsequent years and the level of water was 10 meter lower than the natural riverbed. In the second test, the river was opened to water flow from the upstream dam and the level of water was 2 meter higher than the natural riverbed. The results of these two tests have also been used in order to find to what extend the presence of water flow in the river and saturation of the surrounding soil affect the bridge natural frequencies. Finally, the updated FE model of the bridge has been applied in a series of parametric analyses incorporating the effect of piles' relative scour depth on the bridge natural frequency of the first four vibration modes.

MT 자료에서 3차원 전기비저항 구조와 정적효과를 동시에 구하기 위한 실용적인 역산법을 소개한다. 이 방법은 감도행렬이 필요한 Gauss-Newton법을 기반으로 하고 반복과정에서 Broyden의 방식으로 감도를 수정하는 것을 기본으로 하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 합성 MT 자료에 대한 역산실험을 통해 근사역산법의 성능과 정적효과에 대한 가중치에 대해 검토하였다. 해석적으로 구해지는 초기감도를 Broyden의 방식으로 수정하는 역산법은 초기감도를 끝까지 쓰는 역산법보다 자료오차를 줄이는데 효과적이었다. 그리고 완전한 감도행렬을 반복 중간에서 단 한번만 사용하는 근사역산법으로서는 반복 전반부에서 완전한 감도를 사용할 때 자료오차를 가장 많이 줄이는 것으로 나타났다. 정적효과에 대한 가중치는 어느 특정 한계값 이하로 선택하면 최종 자료오차에는 결정적인 영향을 주지 않는다. 합성 MT 자료에 대한 실험 결과 이 역산법은 정적효과가 포함된 MT 자료로부터 3차원 전기비저항 구조를 재현하는데 효과적임을 확인하였다.

The structural health monitoring (SHM) benchmark study on optimal sensor placement problem for the instrumented Canton Tower has been launched. It follows the success of the modal identification and model updating for the Canton Tower in the previous benchmark study, and focuses on the optimal placement of vibration sensors (accelerometers) in the interest of bettering the SHM system. In this paper, the sensor placement problem for the Canton Tower and the benchmark model for this study are first detailed. Then an information entropy based sensor placement method with the purpose of damage detection is proposed and applied to the benchmark problem. The procedure that will be implemented for structural damage detection using the data obtained from the optimal sensor placement strategy is introduced and the information on structural damage is specified. The information entropy based method is applied to measure the uncertainties throughout the damage detection process with the use of the obtained data. Accordingly, a multi-objective optimal problem in terms of sensor placement is formulated. The optimal solution is determined as the one that provides equally most informative data for all objectives, and thus the data obtained is most informative for structural damage detection. To validate the effectiveness of the optimally determined sensor placement, damage detection is performed on different damage scenarios of the benchmark model using the noise-free and noise-corrupted measured information, respectively. The results show that in comparison with the existing in-service sensor deployment on the structure, the optimally determined one is capable of further enhancing the capability of damage detection.

In this paper, it is aimed to present a comparative study about the structural behavior of tall buildings consisting of different type of materials such as concrete, steel or timber using finite element analyses and experimental measurements on shaking table. For this purpose, two 1/60 scaled 28 and 30-stories wooden building models with $40{\times}40cm$ and $35{\times}35cm$ ground/floor area and 1.45 m-1.55 m total height are built in laboratory condition. Considering the frequency range, mode shapes, maximum displacements and relative story drifts for structural models as well as acceleration, displacement and weight limits for shaking table, to obtain the typical building response as soon as possible, balsa is selected as a material property, and additional masses are bonded to some floors. Finite element models of the building models are constituted in SAP2000 program. According to the main purposes of earthquake resistant design, three different earthquake records are used to simulate the weak, medium and strong ground motions. The displacement and acceleration time-histories are obtained for all earthquake records at the top of building models. To validate the numerical results, shaking table tests are performed. The selected earthquake records are applied to first mode (lateral) direction, and the responses are recorded by sensitive accelerometers. Comparisons between the numerical and experimental results show that shaking table tests are enough to identify the structural response of wooden buildings. Considering 20%, 10% and 5% damping rations, differences are obtained within the range 4.03-26.16%, 3.91-65.51% and 6.31-66.49% for acceleration, velocity and displacements in Model-1, respectively. Also, these differences are obtained as 0.49-31.15%, 6.03-6.66% and 16.97-66.41% for Model-2, respectively. It is thought that these differences are caused by anisotropic structural characteristic of the material due to changes in directions parallel and perpendicular to fibers, and should be minimized using the model updating procedure.
