The precast concrete (PC) method has many advantages in fast construction, quality control, etc. In domestic construction market, however, its application has been quite limited because of the concerns about structural integrity and seismic performances due to the discrete connections between precast concrete members. By applying the post-tensioning method, the precast beam-column connection can be well tightened, allowing improved structural integrity, and proper seismic performances can be also achieved. In this study, reversed cyclic tests have been conducted on the beam-column connection specimens, where the test variables included the compressive strength of grouting mortar and the tensile strengths of prestressing strands, based on which their seismic performances have been examined in detail. The post-tensioned PC beam-column connections showed good seismic performances comparable to that of the monolithic reinforced concrete connection specimen. When 2400 MPa prestressing strands are applied to the beam-column connection, it is preferable to adjust the prestress level similar to that applied for the 1860 MPa prestressing strands to avoid premature local crushing failures at the beam-column connections.

Lumped Damage Mechanics (LDM) is a theory proposed in the late eighties, which assumes that structural collapse may be analyzed as a two-phase phenomenon. In the first (pre-localization) stage, energy dissipation is a continuous process and it may be modelled by means of the classic versions of the theory of plasticity or Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). The second, post-localization, phase can be modelled assuming that energy dissipation is lumped in zones of zero volume: inelastic hinges, hinge lines or localization surfaces. This paper proposes a new LDM formulation for cracking in concrete structures in tension. It also describes its numerical implementation in conventional finite element programs. The results of three numerical simulations of experimental tests reported in the literature are presented. They correspond to plain and fiber-reinforced concrete specimens. A fourth simulation describes also the experimental results of a new test using the digital image correlation technique. These numerical simulations are also compared with the ones obtained using conventional Cohesive Fracture Mechanics (CFM). It is then shown that LDM conserves the advantages of both, CDM and CFM, while overcoming their drawbacks.

8개월령, 3.5 kg의 중성화하지 않은 토이 푸들이 왼쪽 다리의 체중 부중을 하지 않는 파행으로 내원하였다. 방사선 검사에서, 왼쪽 경골 근위부의 Salter-Harris II 형 성장판 골절과 비골 골절이 발견되었다. 교차핀, 긴장철사와 경첩 관절경유 외고정을 통해 근위 경골의 성장판 골절을 정복 하였다. 수술 후 1주째까지 경첩관절경유 외고정의 관절가동변위를 $25^{\circ}$, 수술 후 2주째까지 $70^{\circ}$ 까지 증가 시켰으며 수술 후 3주째 경첩 관절경유 외고정을 제거하였다. 수술 후 6주차에 골절은 합병증 없이 성공적으로 치유되었고 환자는 정상보행을 회복하였다. 수술 후 7개월째 환자는 정상적으로 보행을 하였으며, 반대쪽 정상다리와 비교하였을 때 관절의 가동범위는 동일 하였다. 본 증례는 근위 경골의 성장판 골절이 있는 미성숙견에서 교차핀, 긴장철사 및 경첩 관절경유 외고정을 이용하여 성공적으로 치료한 사례이다. 이러한 방법은 수술 후 골절정복의 안정성 및 조기 관절운동을 통한 정상 관절범위의 회복에 유용하게 사용 될 수 있을 거라 사료된다.

철근콘크리트구조(RC)는 경제성이 뛰어나 가장 널리 사용되고 있지만, 인장응력에 취약하고 콘크리트의 자중이 커서 처짐 제어가 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 프리스트레스트콘크리트구조는 이를 극복할 수 있는 가장 효율적인 방법으로 이미 오래전부터 알려져 있지만 국내에서는 건축 현장 여건 때문에 적용사례가 매우 드물다. 특히, 대부분 부정정 구조물인 건축물에 적합하면서 일체성을 확보할 수 있는 포스트텐션(PT) 공법은 국내에서는 최근에서야 비로소 몇몇 건축 현장에 도입하기 시작하였다. 그러나 전구간 포스트텐션 공법을 적용하는 것에는 현장여건상 여전히 많은 엔지니어들이 부담을 가지고 있는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 RC구조의 처짐억제 효율성을 높이면서도 현장 실무자들에게 부담을 최소화 할 수 있는 현실적 대안으로 부분 구간에만 PT공법을 적용시키는 방법을 제안하고 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 부분 구간PT공법의 적용성을 높이기 위하여 상향긴장방식을 적용하였으며, 실제 현장적용을 통하여 얻은 계측값과 해석결과의 비교를 통하여 거동 특성을 분석하였다.

포스트텐션 공법을 적용한 콘크리트 부재의 정착구역에서 정착판 근처의 지압응력은 일반적으로 높은 프리스트레스 하중에 의해 발생한다. 따라서 단면의 효율적인 활용과 콘크리트 부재의 파괴로 이어질 수 있는 균열제어를 위해 적절한 정착판의 크기가 제시되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 도로교설계기준 및 PTI 등에 의해 사각형 정착판과 원형 정착판의 유효면적에 대한 관계식을 제안하였다. 또한 정착판의 형상에 따라 형상계수를 제안하였으며, 유한요소해석을 통해 적절성을 분석하였다.

A cylindrical post dipping (CPD) method to fabricate the PDMS microlens arrays is presented in this paper. The proposed CPD method is based on the surface tension effect. 2 mm gap and gapless lenses with 2 mm diameter are fabricated and characterized geometically. Both profiles of the fabricated microlens are well-fitted with ideal lens profile. The surface roughness average of the fabricated lens is measured to be 1.953 nm. The focal length of 2mm gap lenses and the gapless lenses is calculated to be 17.00 mm with 0.65 mm standard deviation and 29.88 mm with 2.58 mm standard deviation, respectively. The proposed CPD method can be applied to wafer level lens fabrication due to its simplicity and versatility.

In this paper, the effects of steel-fiber and rebar reinforcements on the ultimate bearing strength of the local anchorage zone were investigated based on experiments and comparisons between test results and design-equation predictions (AASHTO 2012, NCHRP 1994). Eighteen specimens were fabricated using the same anchorage device, which is one of the conventional anchorage devices, and two transverse ribs were used to secure an additional bearing area for a compact anchorage-zone design. Eight of the specimens were reinforced with only steel fiber and are of two concrete strengths, while six were reinforced with only rebars for two concrete strengths. The other four specimens were reinforced with both rebars and steel fiber for one concrete strength. The test and the comparisons between the design-equation predictions and the test results showed that the ultimate bearing strength and the section efficiency are highly affected by the reinforcement details and the concrete strength; moreover, the NCHRP equation can be conservatively applied to various local anchorage zones for the prediction of the ultimate bearing strength, whereby conditions such as the consideration of the rib area and the calibration factor are changed.

Conventional buckling restrained braces used in concentrically braced frames are expected to yield in both tension and compression without major degradation of capacity under severe seismic ground motions. One of the weakness points of a standard buckling restrained braced frame is the low post-yield stiffness and thus large residual deformation under moderate to severe ground motions. This phenomenon can be attributed to low post-yield stiffness of core member in a BRB. This paper introduces a multi-core buckling restrained brace. The multi-core term arises from the use of more than one core component with different steel materials, including high-performance steel (HPS-70W) and stainless steel (304L) with high strain hardening properties. Nonlinear dynamic time history analyses were conducted on variety of diagonally braced frames with different heights, in order to compare the seismic performance of regular and multi-core buckling restrained braced frames. The results exhibited that the proposed multi-core buckling restrained braces reduce inter-story and especially residual drift demands in BRBFs. In addition, the results of seismic fragility analysis designated that the probability of exceedance of residual drifts in multi-core buckling restrained braced frames is significantly lower in comparison to standard BRBFs.

Concrete is the well-used material in many architectural and civil structures. The behavior of concrete does exhibit a different characteristic in compression and tension, and it also shows an inelastic-nonlinear behavior. In addition, the concrete properties vary slightly depending on the environmental factor and manufacturer. These properties of concrete make the modeling or simulation of concrete material difficult. In reinforced concrete, particularly, there is a difficulty in bond-slip relationship between concrete and steel. However, in this paper, reserving remainder of these limits the finite element analysis for reinforced concrete beams through ABAQUS simulation has been carried out with some assumptions. Assumptions include the perfect bond of steel and concrete as well as the concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) in concrete property. There is a reasonable agreement between the experimental and numerical results, although the analytical strength and external rod deformation are slightly overestimated. The average and standard deviation between two results are 1.05 and 0.05, respectively. And the models and the computations lead to the evolution of fracture in bending beam.
