Because of the importance of steel material saving and rational ship structural design due to the rapid increase in steel prices, a ship structural design system was developed for plate members reinforced by doubler plates subjected to biaxial in-plane compressive loads. This paper mainly emphasizes the design system improvement and upgrade according to the change in the in-plane loading condition of the doubler plate from the single load discussed in a previous paper to the biaxial in-plane compressive load discussed in this paper. A direct design process by a structural designer was added to this developed optimized system to increase the design efficiency and provide a way of directly inserting a designer's decisions into the design system process. As the second stage of preliminary steps of doubler design system development, design formulas subjected to these biaxial loads used in the doubler plate design system were suggested. Based on the introduction of influence coefficients $K_t_c$, $K_t_d$, $K_b_d$ and $K_a_d$ based on the variations in the doubler length, breadth, doubler thickness, and average corrosion thickness of the main plate reinforced by the doubler plate, respectively, the design formulas for the equivalent plate thickness of the main plate reinforced by the doubler plate were also developed, and a hybrid design system using these formulas was suggested for the doubler plate of a ship structure subjected to a biaxial in-plane compressive load. Using this developed design system for a main plate reinforced by a doubler plate was expected to result in a more rational reinforced doubler plate design considering the efficient reinforcement of ship plate members subjected to these biaxial loads. Additionally, a more detail structural analysis through local strength evaluations will be performed to verify the efficiency of the optimum structural design for a plate member reinforced by a doubler plate.

In view of the importance of material reduction and rational structural design due to the rapid increase in oil and steel prices, an optimized structural hybrid design system for the doubler plate of a ship's hull structure was developed. A direct design process by a structural designer was added to this developed optimized system to increase the design efficiency and provide a way of directly inserting a designer's decisions into the design system process. As the first step of the doubler design system development, the design formulas used in doubler design system were introduced. Based on the introduction of influence coefficients $K_{t_c}$ $K_{t_d}$, $K_{b_d}$ and $K_{a_d}$ according to the variations in the doubler length, breadth, doubler thickness, and average corrosion thickness of the main plate, the design formulas for an equivalent plate thickness were developed, and a hybrid design system using these formulas was suggested for the slender doubler plate of a ship structure subjected to a longitudinal in-plane compression load. By using this developed design system, a more rational doubler plate design can be expected considering the efficient reinforcement of the plate members of ship structures. Additionally, a more detailed structural analysis through local strength evaluations will be performed to verify the efficiency of the optimum structural design for the doubler plate.

최근 연약지반에서 급속시공과 엄격한 침하억제가 필요한 경우가 빈번해짐에 따라 성토지지 말뚝공법이 이에 대한 해결책으로 대두되고 있다. 특히 토목섬유로 보강한 성토지지 말뚝 공법의 경우 경제성 및 안정성 측면에서 효용성이 커서 전 세계적으로 활발히 적용되고 있다. 그러나 성토지지말뚝에서의 하중전달작용은 매우 복잡하여 아직까지 이에 대한 완전한 파악이 이루어지지 않은 상태이다. 특히 토목섬유의 보강 목적 및 효과에 대한 이해는 매우 부족한 상태로, 지반의 아칭효과에 의한 말뚝 지지효과를 보조하기 위한 수단으로서 토목섬유의 보강효과를 간주하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 유한요소해석을 이용한 변수연구를 통해 토목섬유의 보강효과를 구명하였다. 해석 결과의 분석을 통해 토목섬유의 보강 정도가 증가함에 따라 성토하중이 말뚝으로의 집중하는 작용이 지반의 아칭효과에서 토목섬유의 인장효과로 전이되는 현상을 발견하였다. 이는 토목섬유가 일방적으로 말뚝으로의 하중 전달 작용을 향상시킨다는 기존의 인식과는 상반된 결과이다 최종적으로는 기존 설계방법과 수치해석으로 산정된 설계변수의 비교를 통해 기존 설계방법의 문제점과 개선 방안을 제시하였다.

PHC 말뚝에서 강선을 노출시켜 건축물의 기초판과 연결시키는 기존 강선남김 방식은 강결합과 힌지결합의 중간형태로 공동주택(아파트)과 같은 건축구조물에 흔히 사용되는 방법이다. 그러나 이 방법은 역학적인 성능이 검증되지 않았으며 시공과정도 복잡하다. 이에 본 연구는 기존 관련 연구의 결과를 분석하고, PHC 말뚝의 콘크리트 단면적 대비 강선면적 비인 0.3%를 말뚝 접합부의 최소 철근보강량으로 선정하여 PHC 말뚝과 기초판과의 최적의 철근보강 방법을 말뚝 규격별(PHC 450, PHC 500, 및 PHC 600)로 제시하였다. PHC 말뚝과 기초판 접합부의 역학적 성능(인장강도와 전단강도)을 평가하기 위해 실물크기의 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 모든 경우에 대해 요구강도를 만족하였으며 실제 적용되어도 문제가 없음을 확인하였다. 본 결과는 기존 연구에서 제시되었던 접합부의 철근 보강량보다 그 양이 대폭 감소하는 것으로 나타나 PHC 말뚝 시공 시 원가 절감에도 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents the results of a parametric study on the bearing capacity behavior of a footing located above geogrid-reinforced ground using the finite element method of analysis. A wide range of boundary conditions were analyzed, with varing geogrid design parameters such as depth of geogrid layer, length and siffness of geogrid, and number of geogrid layer, were analyzed. Based on the results of analysis, the optimum geogrid design parameters were determined, which maximize the reinforcing effect of geogrid reinforcement for a given conidition. Furthermore, the mechanistic behavior of a geogrid-reinforced ground subjected to a footing load was discussed using the results of analysis such as stress distribution, propagation of plastic yielding, displacement vector among others.

This paper presents a variant of the Harmony Search Algorithm (HS) and its application to discrete optimization. The main proposed modifications regarding original HS are related to stopping criterion and reinitialization of population, called Harmony Memory. In order to investigate the efficiency of the algorithm, it was applied for obtaining optimal sections of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial flexural compression. To minimize the cost of the section, the amount and diameters of the reinforcement bars and the dimensions of the columns cross sections were considered as design variables. The obtained results were compared to those generated by other optimization methods. Since, to the examples, Harmony Search reached the same results achieved by Simulated Annealing, some additional analysis are presented in order to compare these methods regarding success rate and number of iterations to reach the optimum.

To reduce stress concentration around the intersection between a spherical pressure vessel and a cylindrical nozzle under various load conditions using less material, the optimization for the distribution of reinforcement has researched. The ranked bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization(R-BESO) method is developed recently, which adds elements based on a rank, and the performance indicator which can estimate a fully stressed model. The R-BESO method can obtain the optimum design using less iteration number than iteration number of the BESO. In this paper, the optimized intersection shape is sought using R-BESO method for a flush and a protruding nozzle. The considered load cases are a radial compression, torque and shear force.

The search for a design that meets both performance and safety, with minimal cost and lesser environmental impact was always the goal of structural engineers. In general, the design of conventional reinforced concrete structures is an iterative process based on rules of thumb established from the personal experience and intuition of the designer. However, such procedure makes the design process exhaustive and only occasionally leads to the best solution. In such context, this work presents the development and implementation of a mathematical formulation for obtaining optimal sections of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial flexural compression, based on the verification of strength proposed by the Brazilian standard NBR 6118 (ABNT 2007). To minimize the cost of the reinforced concrete columns, the Simulated Annealing optimization method was used, in which the amount and diameters of the reinforcement bars and the dimensions of the columns cross sections were considered as discrete variables. The results obtained were compared to those obtained from the conventional design procedure and other optimization methods, in an attempt to verify the influence of resistance class, variations in the magnitudes of bending moment and axial force, and material costs on the optimal design of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial flexural compression.

This study conducts an optimization and sensitivity analysis on rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) beam using Lagrangian Multiplier Method (LMM) as programming optimization computer soft ware. The analysis is conducted to obtain the minimum design cost for both singly and doubly RC beams according to the specifications of three regulations of American concrete institute (ACI), British regulation (BS), and Iranian concrete regulation (ICS). Moreover, a sensitivity analysis on cost is performed with respect to the effective parameters such as length, width, and depth of beam, and area of reinforcement. Accordingly, various curves are developed to be feasibly utilized in design of RC beams. Numerical examples are also represented to better illustrate the design steps. The results indicate that instead of complex optimization relationships, the LMM can be used to minimize the cost of singly and doubly reinforced beams with different boundary conditions. The results of the sensitivity analysis on LMM indicate that each regulation can provide the most optimal values at specific situations. Therefore, using the graphs proposed for different design conditions can effectively help the designer (without necessity of primary optimization knowledge) choose the best regulation and values of design parameters.

최근 건설공사의 공기단축을 위하여 프리캐스트 콘크리트(Precast Concrete)에 대한 관심이 점차 증가하는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 중 내부에 중공을 설치하여 중량을 감소시킨 할로우코어 슬래브 간의 접합부 전단성능 평가에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험의 주요 변수는 할로우코어 슬래브 상부의 토핑콘크리트의 두께와 와이어메쉬의 배근유무이며, 총 8개의 슬래브간 접합부 실험체 중 4개의 면내전단실험과 4개의 면외방향 전단실험을 수행하였다. 실험의 결과는 균열하중, 파괴하중, 파괴양상, 강성 및 연성도의 측면에서 분석하였으며, 실험결과를 설계하중과 비교 검토함으로써 최적의 디테일을 개발할 수 있는 실험적 근거를 제공하도록 하였다. 실험결과, 슬래브 간 접합부에 무수축 모르타르를 타설한 경우에는 토핑두께 30mm의 보통 콘크리트를 사용한 것과 유사한 구조성능을 발현할 수 있는 것으로 평가되었으며, 와이어메쉬의 보강효과는 내력 및 강성보다는 연성의 증가에 크게 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 토핑콘크리트의 두께에 따른 설계하중과의 비교를 통하여 적절한 디테일 설계를 할 수 있는 기초적 자료를 제공하였다.
