합성 구조체에서 강 콘크리트 경계면은 하중이 증가함에 따라 합성작용 저하, 미세균열, 슬립 및 분리등으로 나타내어 부분합성에 적합한 해석기법이 필요하다. 그러나 경계면을 고려하는 해식방법과 경계면 비선형 해석 모델 구성의 어려움으로 지금까지 합성 구조체에 대한 해석적 연구는 경계면 거동을 완전합성, 또는 선형-탄생으로 가정하여 정확한 거동 규명이 어려웠다. 따라서 합성 구조체의 설계는 대부분 실험적 방법에 의존하였지만 이것은 사용환경에 따라 매번 실험을 수행해야 하는 비효율성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 합성작용의 변화에 따른 다양한 강-콘크리트 경계면의 비선형 해석 모델을 바탕으로 하여 최대 접선응력과 슬립-연화 현상에 따르는 보다 정밀한 구조성능과 거동 특성을 규명하였다. 연구결과 경계면에 대한 비선형 모델은 최대하중 등과 같은 행복 이후의 거동을 보다 정확하게 나타내며, 이때 인터페이스의 초기 접선강성은 부재의 항복하중에, 최대 접선응력과 슬립-연화 합성 구조체의 최대하중과 같은 항복이후 거동에 주로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 협성 구조체의 구조성능은 강-콘크리트 경계면의 합성작용, 즉 인터페이스 요소의 초기 접선강성, 최대 접선응력과 슬립-연화현상에 크게 의존적인 것으로 나타났다.

Steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is known as one of the efficient modern composites that can greatly enhance the material performance of cracked concrete in tension. Such improved tensile resistance mechanism at crack interfaces in SFRC members can be heavily influenced by methodologies of treatments of crack direction. While most existing studies have focused on developing the numerical analysis model with the rotating-angle theory, there are only few studies on finite element analysis models with the fixed-angle model approach. According to many existing experimental studies, the direction of principal stress rotated after the formation of initial fixed-cracks, but it was also observed that new cracks with completely different angles relative to the initial crack direction very rarely occurred. Therefore, this study introduced the direct tension force transfer model (DTFTM), in which tensile resistance of the fibers at the crack interface can be easily estimated, to the nonlinear finite element analysis algorithm with the fixed-angle theory, and the proposed model was also verified by comparing the analysis results to the SFRC shear panel test results. The secant modulus method adopted in this study for iterative calculations in nonlinear finite element analysis showed highly stable and fast convergence capability when it was applied to the fixed-angle theory. The deviation angle between the principal stress direction and the fixed-crack direction significantly increased as the tensile stresses in the steel fibers at crack interfaces increased, which implies that the deviation angle is very important in the estimation of the shear behavior of SFRC members.

In this research, an effective computational technique is carried out for nonlinear and post-buckling analyses of cracked imperfect composite plates. The laminated plates are assumed to be moderately thick so that the analysis can be carried out based on the first-order shear deformation theory. Geometric non-linearity is introduced in the way of von-Karman assumptions for the strain-displacement equations. The Ritz technique is applied using Legendre polynomials for the primary variable approximations. The crack is modeled by partitioning the entire domain of the plates into several sub-plates and therefore the plate decomposition technique is implemented in this research. The penalty technique is used for imposing the interface continuity between the sub-plates. Different out-of-plane essential boundary conditions such as clamp, simply support or free conditions will be assumed in this research by defining the relevant displacement functions. For in-plane boundary conditions, lateral expansions of the unloaded edges are completely free while the loaded edges are assumed to move straight but restricted to move laterally. With the formulation presented here, the plates can be subjected to biaxial compressive loads, therefore a sensitivity analysis is performed with respect to the applied load direction, along the parallel or perpendicular to the crack axis. The integrals of potential energy are numerically computed using Gauss-Lobatto quadrature formulas to get adequate accuracy. Then, the obtained non-linear system of equations is solved by the Newton-Raphson method. Finally, the results are presented to show the influence of crack length, various locations of crack, load direction, boundary conditions and different values of initial imperfection on nonlinear and post-buckling behavior of laminates.

균열이 용접부 내와 같은 잔류응력의 영향을 받는 곳에 존재할 경우, 균열은 닫힘균열로 존재할 수 있으며, 인장과 압축에 대하여 비대칭적인 거동을 보이게 된다. 이러한 비선형 균열에 대하여 균열면에서 발생하는 고조파를 이용한 초음파 탐지 기법이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 접촉면에서 발생하는 고조파에 대한 파라미터 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구는 일반적인 3차원 균열로 나아가기 위한 기초연구의 성격을 띄고 있다. 압축과 인장에 대해 각기 다른 선형 거동을 나타내는 접촉면을 가정하였고 1차원 문제를 고려하였다. 기본주파수 성분에 대한 2차고조파 성분의 비를 다양한 강성비, 입사파의 주파수, 접촉면의 두께에 대하여 조사 하였다.

The presence of infill generally neglected in design despite the fact that infill contribution significantly increase the lateral stiffness and strength of the reinforced concrete frame structure. Several experimental studies and computational models have been proposed to capture the rational response of infill-frame interaction at global level. However, limited studies are available on explicit finite element modelling to study the local behavior due to high computation and convergence issues in numerical modelling. In the current study, the computational modelling of RC frames is done with various configurations of infill masonry in terms of types of blocks, lateral loading and reinforcement detailing employed with material nonlinearities, interface contact issues and bond-slip phenomenon particularly near the beam-column joints. To this end, extensive computational modelling of five variant characteristics test specimens extracted from the detailed experimental program available in literature and process through nonlinear static analysis in FEM code, ATENA generally used to capture the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. Results are presented in terms of damage patterns and capacity curves by employing the finest possible detail provided in the experimental program. Comparative analysis shows that good correlation amongst the experimental and numerical simulated results both in terms of capacity and crack patterns.

PURPOSES : In this study, a fracture-based finite element (FE) model is proposed to evaluate the fracture behavior of fiber-reinforced asphalt (FRA) concrete under various interface conditions. METHODS : A fracture-based FE model was developed to simulate a double-edge notched tension (DENT) test. A cohesive zone model (CZM) and linear viscoelastic model were implemented to model the fracture behavior and viscous behavior of the FRA concrete, respectively. Three models were developed to characterize the behavior of interfacial bonding between the fiber reinforcement and surrounding materials. In the first model, the fracture property of the asphalt concrete was modified to study the effect of fiber reinforcement. In the second model, spring elements were used to simulated the fiber reinforcement. In the third method, bar and spring elements, based on a nonlinear bond-slip model, were used to simulate the fiber reinforcement and interfacial bonding conditions. The performance of the FRA in resisting crack development under various interfacial conditions was evaluated. RESULTS : The elastic modulus of the fibers was not sensitive to the behavior of the FRA in the DENT test before crack initiation. After crack development, the fracture resistance of the FRA was found to have enhanced considerably as the elastic modulus of the fibers increased from 450 MPa to 900 MPa. When the adhesion between the fibers and asphalt concrete was sufficiently high, the fiber reinforcement was effective. It means that the interfacial bonding conditions affect the fracture resistance of the FRA significantly. CONCLUSIONS : The bar/spring element models were more effective in representing the local behavior of the fibers and interfacial bonding than the fracture energy approach. The reinforcement effect is more significant after crack initiation, as the fibers can be pulled out sufficiently. Both the elastic modulus of the fiber reinforcement and the interfacial bonding were significant in controlling crack development in the FRA.

This study reports the details of the finite element analysis of eleven shear critical partially prestressed concrete T-beams having steel fibers over partial or full depth. Prestressed concrete T-beams having a shear span to depth ratio of 2.65 and 1.59 and failing in the shear have been analyzed using 'ANSYS'. The 'ANSYS' model accounts for the nonlinear phenomenon, such as, bond-slip of longitudinal reinforcements, post-cracking tensile stiffness of the concrete, stress transfer across the cracked blocks of the concrete and load sustenance through the bridging of steel fibers at crack interface. The concrete is modeled using 'SOLID65'-eight-node brick element, which is capable of simulating the cracking and crushing behavior of brittle materials. The reinforcements such as deformed bars, prestressing wires and steel fibers have been modeled discretely using 'LINK8' - 3D spar element. The slip between the reinforcement (rebar, fibers) and the concrete has been modeled using a 'COMBIN39'-non-linear spring element connecting the nodes of the 'LINK8' element representing the reinforcement and nodes of the 'SOLID65' elements representing the concrete. The 'ANSYS' model correctly predicted the diagonal tension failure and shear compression failure of prestressed concrete beams observed in the experiment. The capability of the model to capture the critical crack regions, loads and deflections for various types of shear failures in prestressed concrete beam has been illustrated.

본 논문에서는 이차 본딩으로 접착된 복합재료-복합재료 Single-Lap 조인트 시편에 대해 인장 시험 및 수치해석을 통해 그 파손 특성을 조사하였다. 시편시험에서는 시험 중에 CCD 카메라 및 AE 센서를 이용해 초기 균열의 발생 및 진전양상에 대한 시험적인 관찰을 수행하였다. 시편에 대해 기하비선형 유한요소해석 및 VCCT(Virtual Crack Closure Technique)기법을 이용해 시편의 거동 및 변형율에너지방출률을 계산하고 세 가지 관찰된 초기 균열 모드에 대해 파손강도를 계산하였다. 인장시험에서 초기 균열은 모서리 계면 균열, 측면 계면 균열 및 층간 분리 균열의 세 가지 형태로 최종 파손의 60∼90% 하중에서 발생하였다. 주된 파손 모드는 접착제 계면 파손(adhesive failure) 및 적층판의 첫 번째 및 두 번째의 층간 분리 파손이었다. 두꺼운 접착제 층을 갖는 시편들은 초기균열이 낮은 하중에서 발생하였지만 균열진전에 대한 저항성 및 파손하중은 높게 나타났다. 층간분리파손은 주로 두꺼운 접착제의 경우에 발생하였다. 세 가지 초기 균열 모드에 대해 변형률에너지방출률은 Mode I의 G값이 Mode II의 G값보다 크게 계산되었다. Mode I 및 전체 G값은 측면 계면 균열, 모서리 계면 균열, 층간분리 균열의 순서로 크게 계산되었다.

Finite element analysis is used to study the role of interfacial properties on the bond strength of reinforcing steel to concrete. Specifically, the role played by epoxy coatings on the failure of standard beam-end specimens is explored. Experimental results show that epoxy coatings reduce bond strength, but that the effect is dependent on the bar size and the deformation pattern. The finite element model for the beam-end specimen includes representations for the deformed steel bar, the concrete, and the interfacial material. The interface elements can be varied to match the stiffness and friction properties of the interfacial material. Cracking within the concrete is represented using Hillerborg's ficticious crack model. The model is used to study important aspects or behavior observed in the tests and to provide an explanation for the effect of the various test parameters.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the flexural, interfacial behavior, crack propagation, nonlinear behavior, effect repaired and rehabilitated with VES-LMC using RC beam with 4-point-loading test. The results were following: The test result showed that repair and rehabilitation effect increased as its depth increased, which was verified by the increase of flexural stiffness. More than 40% of stiffness was improved when the depth of repair was up to steel position. However, there was a little difference between 8cm and 12cm repaired beam. This means the repair depth must be considered. The interfacial behavior data showed that the repaired or rehabilitated beams had a little relative displacement. This means that two materials behave comparatively acting together. This suggested that interface treatment were one of the most important jobs in composite beams.
