The most important factor in the structural design of ships and offshore structures operating in arctic region is ice load, which results from ice-structure interaction during the ice collision process. The mechanical properties of ice related to strength and failure, however, show very complicated aspect varying with temperature, volume fraction of brine, grain size, strain rate and etc. So it is nearly impossible to establish a perfect material model of ice satisfying all the mechanical characteristics completely. Therefore, in general, ice collision analysis was carried out by relatively simple material models considering only specific aspects of mechanical characteristics of ice and it would be the most significant cause of inevitable errors in the analysis. Especially, it is well-known that the most distinctive mechanical property of ice is high dependency on strain rate. Ice shows brittle attribute in higher strain rate while it becomes ductile in lower strain rate range. In this study, the simulation method of ice collision to ship hull using the nonlinear dynamic FE analysis was dealt with. To consider the strain rate effects of ice during ice-structural interaction, strain rate dependent constitutive model in which yield stress and hardening behaviors vary with strain rate was adopted. To reduce the huge amount of computing time, the modeling range of ice and ship structure were restricted to the confined region of interest. Under the various scenario of ice-ship hull collision, the structural behavior of hull panels and failure modes of ice were examined by nonlinear FE analysis technique.

The aim of this study was to develop a new efficient strategy that uses the Vector form Intrinsic Finite-element (VFIFE) method to conduct the static and dynamic analyses of marine pipes. Nonlinear problems, such as large displacement, small strain, and contact and collision, can be analyzed using a unified calculation process in the VFIFE method according to the fundamental theories of point value description, path element, and reverse motion. This method enables analysis without the need to integrate the stiffness matrix of the structure, because only motion equations of particles established according to Newton's second law are required. These characteristics of the VFIFE facilitate the modeling and computation efficiencies in analyzing the nonlinear dynamic problem of flexible pipe with large deflections. In this study, a three-dimensional (3-D) dynamical model based on 3-D beam element was established according to the VFIFE method. The deep-sea flexible pipe was described by a set of spatial mass particles linked by 3-D beam element. The motion and configuration of the pipe are determined by these spatial particles. Based on this model, a simulation procedure to predict the 3-D dynamical behavior of flexible pipe was developed and verified. It was found that the spatial configuration and static internal force of the mining pipe can be obtained by calculating the stationary state of pipe motion. Using this simulation procedure, an analysis was conducted on the static and dynamic behaviors of the flexible mining pipe based on a 1000-m sea trial system. The results of the analysis proved that the VFIFE method can be efficiently applied to the static and dynamic analyses of marine pipes.

This paper describes an in-depth analysis on flexural strength of a girder-deck system experiencing a strand debonding damage with various strengthening systems, based on finite element software ABAQUS. A detailed finite element analysis (FEA) model was developed and verified against the relevant experimental data performed by other researchers. The proposed analytical model showed a good agreement with experimental data. Based on the verified FE model, over a hundred girder-deck systems were investigated with the consideration of following variables: 1) debonding level, 2) span-to-depth ratio (L/d), 3) strengthening type, 4) strengthening material thickness. Based on the data above, a new detailed analytical model was developed and proposed for estimating residual flexural strength of the strand-debonding damaged girder-deck system with strengthening systems. It was demonstrated that both finite element model and analysis model could be used to predict flexural behaviors for debonding damaged prestressed girder-deck systems. Since the strands are debonding from surrounding concrete over a certain zone over the length of the beam, the increase of strain in strands can be linked with a ratio ψ, which is L_p/c. The analytical model was proposed and developed regarding the ratio ψ. By conducting procedure of calculating ψ, the ψ value varies from 9.3 to 70.1. Multiple nonlinear regression analysis was performed in Software IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0.1 to derive equation of ψ. ψ equation was curved to be an exponential function, and the independent variable (X) is a linear function in terms of three variables of debonding level (λ), span length (L), and amount of strengthening material (A_s). The coefficient of determinate (R²) for curve fitting in nonlinear regression analysis is 0.8768. The developed analytical model was compared to the ultimate capacities computed by FEA model.

해상풍력 구조물을 지지하는 말뚝기초는 바람, 파랑, 조류 등에 의한 횡방향 반복하중을 지배적으로 받는다. 해상풍력 구조물의 안정적인 성능확보를 위해서 횡방향 반복하중을 받는 말뚝기초의 지지거동을 적절히 평가해 설계에 적용할 필요가 있으며, 말뚝 및 지반을 각각 탄성빔과 비선형 스프링으로 가정하는 p-y 곡선방법이 가장 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 조밀한 포화 실트질 모래지반에 설치되어 횡방향 반복하중을 받는 말뚝기초의 p-y 거동을 평가하기 위해서, 1g 모형말뚝시험을 수행했다. 모형시험 결과, 말뚝에 횡방향 반복하중 재하 시 p-y 곡선의 강성(초기기울기 및 최대지반반력)이 점차 감소했다. p-y 곡선의 강성감소는 반복하중의 크기가 크고 지표면에 가까운 위치에서 더 명확하게 나타났는데, 상기조건에서 말뚝 주변지반의 교란효과가 크게 발생해 지반의 지지능력이 더욱 크게 감소했기 때문이다. 모형시험 결과를 활용해 조밀한 포화 실트질 모래지반에 설치되어 횡방향 반복하중을 받는 말뚝기초의 p-y 곡선을 제안했다. 등가정적해석을 통해 예측된 말뚝거동을 모형시험결과와 비교한 결과, 제안된 식을 통해 비교적 조밀하고 포화된 실트질 모래지반에서 반복하중을 받는 말뚝의 횡방향 지지거동을 적절히 평가할 수 있음을 확인했다.

A detailed understanding of the mechanical behaviors for crushed coal rocks after grouting is a key for construction in the broken zones of mining engineering. In this research, experiments of grouting into the crushed coal rock using independently developed test equipment for solving the problem of sampling of crushed coal rocks have been carried out. The application of uniaxial compression was used to approximately simulate the ground stress in real engineering. In combination with the analysis of crack evolution and failure modes for the grouted specimens, the influences of different crushed degrees of coal rock (CDCR) and solidified grout strength (SGS) on the mechanical behavior of grouted specimens under uniaxial compression were investigated. The research demonstrated that first, the UCS of grouted specimens decreased with the decrease in the CDCR at constant SGS (except for the SGS of 12.3 MPa). However, the UCS of grouted specimens for constant CDCR increased when the SGS increased; optimum solidification strengths for grouts between 19.3 and 23.0 MPa were obtained. The elastic moduli of the grouted specimens with different CDCR generally increased with increasing SGS, and the peak axial strain showed a slightly nonlinear decrease with increasing SGS. The supporting effect of the skeleton structure produced by the solidified grouts was increasingly obvious with increasing CDCR and SGS. The possible evolution of internal cracks for the grouted specimens was classified into three stages: (1) cracks initiating along the interfaces between the coal blocks and solidified grouts; (2) cracks initiating and propagating in coal blocks; and (3) cracks continually propagating successively in the interfaces, the coal blocks, and the solidified grouts near the coal blocks. Finally, after the propagation and coalescence of internal cracks through the entire specimens, there were two main failure modes for the failed grouted specimens. These modes included the inclined shear failure occurring in the more crushed coal rock and the splitting failure occurring in the less crushed coal rock. Both modes were different from the single failure mode along the fissure for the fractured coal rock after grouting solidification. However, compared to the brittle failure of intact coal rock, grouting into the different crushed degree coal rocks resulted in ductile deformation after the peak strength for the grouted specimens was attained.

To realize the recycling utilization of waste concrete and alleviate the shortage of resources, 11 specimens of steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) filled circular steel tube columns were designed and manufactured in this study, and the cyclic loading tests on the specimens of columns were also carried out respectively. The hysteretic curves, skeleton curves and performance indicators of columns were obtained and analysed in detail. Besides, the finite element model of columns was established through OpenSees software, which considered the adverse effect of recycled coarse aggregate (RA) replacement rates and the constraint effect of circular steel tube on internal RAC. The numerical calculation curves of columns are in good agreement with the experimental curves, which shows that the numerical model is relatively reasonable. On this basis, a series of nonlinear parameters analysis on the hysteretic behaviors of columns were also investigated. The results are as follows: When the replacement rates of RA increases from 0 to 100%, the peak loads of columns decreases by 7.78% and the ductility decreases slightly. With the increase of axial compression ratio, the bearing capacity of columns increases first and then decreases, but the ductility of columns decreases rapidly. Increasing the wall thickness of circular steel tube is very profitable to improve the bearing capacity and ductility of columns. When the section steel ratio increases from 5.54% to 9.99%, although the bearing capacity of columns is improved, it has no obvious contribution to improve the ductility of columns. With the decrease of shear span ratio, the bearing capacity of columns increases obviously, but the ductility decreases, and the failure mode of columns develops into brittle shear failure. Therefore, in the engineering design of columns, the situation of small shear span ratio (i.e., short columns) should be avoided as far as possible. Based on this, the calculation model on the skeleton curves of columns was established by the theoretical analysis and fitting method, so as to determine the main characteristic points in the model. The effectiveness of skeleton curve model is verified by comparing with the test skeleton curves.

강지보로 보강된 터널 숏크리트 라이닝은 그 기하학적 형태로 인해 외부하중이 작용됨에 따라 휨 모멘트와 축력이 동시에 발생하게 된다. 숏크리트는 축력 수준에 따라 휨 강성이 달라지며, 이로 인한 심한 비선형 거동을 보인다. 또한 강지보 유형에 따라 역학적으로 상이한 지보 성능을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 화이버 단면 요소(fiber section element)를 이용해 압축력과 휨 모멘트를 동시에 받는 강지보-숏크리트 라이닝의 비선형합성거동을 평가할 수 있는 수치모델을 제시하였고, 이를 활용해 강지보 유형에 따른 합성지보 성능을 수치적으로 분석하였다. 또한, 지반-구조물 상호작용을 구현하기 위해 지반의 연화(softening) 거동을 고려하여 수정된 hyperbolic 모델을 제시하였다. 제시된 수치모델은 기존 아치형 실험체의 하중실험 결과와 해석결과를 비교하여 검증하였으며, 수치해석을 통해 강지보 유형에 따른 라이닝의 합성거동을 분석하였다. 해석결과를 통해, 복철근 형태의 강지보가 기존 H형강과 유사한 극한 하중 지지력을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 강재량 증가가 잔류 지지력 향상에 크게 기여하였으며, 지보재 주변의 지반강성이 증가함에 따라 강지보 유형에 따른 최대 하중지지력 개선 효과는 작아짐을 확인하였다.

경계요소를 가지는 철근콘크리트 전단벽의 비선형 해석을 위한 간편 모델을 제안하였다. 이 간편 모델은 전단벽의 휨 및 전단 거동을 스프링요소로 나타낸 거시적 모델이다. 휨거동은 벽체의 단면해석을 기초로 한 모멘트강도와 회전능력을 벽체 양단의 수직 스프링요소로 나타내었다. 경계요소를 가지는 전단벽은 휨거동에 의해 지배되므로 전단거동은 휨거동에 바탕하여 변수를 계산하였고 중앙부 수평 스프링요소로 나타내었다. 제안된 모델은 전단벽 정적이력시험 결과와 비교한 후 비선형동적해석을 수행하여 사용된 이력법칙 및 변수들의 타당성을 조사하였다. 비선형동적해석을 이용한 변수연구를 통하여 내진성능평가의 주요변수인 요구값과 성능값에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과 전단력-전단변형 관계에서 약간의 차이가 있지만 전단벽의 전체거동은 잘 일치하였으며, 주요 변수의 변화에 대해 요구값과 성능값도 일정하게 변화하므로 제안된 해석모델은 경계요소를 가진 철근콘크리트 전단벽에 알맞은 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 화이버 단면 요소를 이용하여 강재 보강된 숏크리트 합성부재의 하중지지력과 거동을 수치해석적으로 평가하였다. 강재 보강된 숏크리트 합성단면은 여러 개의 화이버로 분할되고, 각 화이버에 정의된 비선형 응력-변형률 관계에 의해 내력을 결정하게 된다. 사용된 유한요소모델의 검증을 위해 수치해석에 의한 숏크리트 라이닝의 하중-변위 변화를 기존 실험연구결과와 비교하였고, 이를 수치해석에 의한 강재와 숏크리트의 응력분포를 이용하여 함께 분석하였다. 그 결과 제안된 해석방법이 강지보와 숏크리트의 재료 비선형성을 고려하여 전체 거동과 강재 및 숏크리트 각각의 하중 저항력을 실질적으로 평가할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한, 단면 내 응력분포로부터 중립축 변화와 강재 및 숏크리트 각각의 휨 하중 분담률을 도출하였다. 하중 변화에 따른 강재의 휨 하중 분담률 변화를 확인하였고, 이를 통해 숏크리트 라이닝 설계에 강재의 휨 저항성능을 고려하는 것이 필요하다고 판단하였다.
