Constitutive modeling that could reasonably predict and effectively evaluate the post-peak structural behavior while eliminating the mesh-dependency in numerical simulation remains to be developed for general engineering applications. Based on the previous work, a simple one-dimensional modeling procedure is proposed to predict and evaluate the post-peak response, as characterized by the evolution of localized strain field, of a steel member to monotonically uniaxial tension. The proposed model extends the classic one-dimensional softening with localization model as introduced by (Schreyer and Chen 1986) to account for the localization length, and bifurcation and rupture points. The new findings of this research are as follows. Two types of strain-softening functions (bilinear and nonlinear) are proposed for comparison. The new failure criterion corresponding to the constitutive modeling is formulated based on the engineering strain inside the localization zone at rupture. Furthermore, a new mathematical expression is developed, based on the strain rate inside and outside the localization zone, to describe the displacement field at which bifurcation occurs. The model solutions are compared with the experimental data on four low-carbon cylindrical steel bars of different lengths. For engineering applications, the model solutions are also compared to the experimental data of a cylindrical steel bar system (three steel bars arranged in series). It is shown that the bilinear and nonlinear softening models can predict the energy dissipation in the post-peak regime with an average difference of only 4%.

This paper presents a new hypoelasticity model which was implemented in a nonlinear finite element formulation to analyze reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The model includes a new hypoelasticity constitutive relationship utilizing the rotation of material axis through successive iterations. The model can account for high nonlinearity of the stress-strain behavior of the concrete in the pre-peak regime, the softening behavior of the concrete in the post-peak regime and the irrecoverable volume dilatation at high levels of compressive load. This research introduces the modified version of the common application orthotropic stress-strain relation developed by Darwin and Pecknold. It is endeavored not to violate the principal of "simplicity" by improvement of the "capability" The results of analyses of experimental reinforced concrete walls are presented to confirm the abilities of the proposed relationships.

Damage assessment and Damage index for RC members failed in flexure was investigated by using the nonlinear finite element analysis, included with nonlocal constitutive law, which is analyzed for the localization of the failure on the post-peak region. In the nonlcal constitutive law, The local strains obtained at gauss points were averaged over a particular length, i.e. characteristic length and it was used to evaluate the damage of RC column member. As the analysis results, The value of nonlocal strain shows less mesh sensibility. In the damage assessment, It was confirmed that evaluations of damage of RC member were able to use nonlocal compressive strain on a cover concrete and a core concrete of the member. Moreover it was confirmed that damage process for the statically indeterminate structure was able to evaluate the damage context of the component members of the structure.

타당성 있는 터널의 설계 및 경제적 시공을 위해서는 터널해석의 신뢰성이 확보되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 암반과 지보재의 상호 작용을 포함하여 시공 전반에 걸친 깊은 이해가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 파괴 이후에도 지보력을 상실하지 않는 강섬유보강 숏크리트의 거동을 적절히 모델링하는 기법을 소개하였다. 강지보재의 지보 효과를 알아보기 위해 3차원 해석을 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 새로운 하중분담율이 산정되었다. 소성모멘트한계만을 사용한 경우(PML 모델) 숏크리트에 비정상적으로 발생하던 높은 인장응력을 없앨 수 있었고, 파괴 후의 연성 거동을 모사할 수 있었으나 축력의 영향이 고려되지 못하여 실제 거동과의 괴리를 메우기에는 다소 미흡하였다. 따라서 축력과 모멘트 한계를 동시에 고려할 수 있는 방법이 필요하였는데, FLAC의 내장 모델인 liner 모델을 통하여 이러한 거동이 모사될 수 있었다. Liner 모델에서는 강섬유 보강 숏크리트의 일축압축 강도와 더불어 최대 및 잔류 인장강도도 지정이 가능하다. 이 두 가지 모델을 이용하여 4등급 및 5등급 암반에 굴착되는 2차로 터널에 대하여 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 종래에 사용되던 탄성 beam 모델을 이용한 해석도 병행하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 탄성 beam 모델을 제외한 두 가지 모델은 탄성 beam 모델에서는 반영될 수 없었던 휨인성을 고려할 수 있었다.
