Firstly, a new kind of prismatic tensegrity structures with redundant cables is defined, the topology, geometry and forming conditions of which are introduced further. The development of its mechanical properties including self-stress states and structural stiffness with the increment of the twist angle is also investigated carefully. Combined with the topology of this kind of structures, a reasonable erection scheme is proposed, in which some temporary lifting points need to be set and two groups of vertical cables are tensioned in batches. Then, a simplified dynamic relaxation method is employed to track the erection process inversely, which aims to predict each intermediate equilibrium state during the construction, and give the key structural parameters that can effectively guide the construction. The removal of the active cables, the relaxation or tension of the passive cables are simulated by controlling their axial stiffness, so that the structural composition as well as the serial numbers of the elements always keep invariant regardless of the withdrawal of the slack cables. The whole analysis process is clear in concept, simple to implement and easy to popularize. Finally, several examples are given to verify the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed method further.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the behaviour of 56 reinforced concrete beams subjected to pure torsion. The reported results include the behaviour curves, the failure modes and the values of the pre-cracking torsional stiffness, the cracking and ultimate torsional moments and the corresponding twists. The influence of the volume of stirrups, the height to width ratios and the arrangement of longitudinal bars on the torsional behaviour is discussed. In order to describe the entire torsional behaviour of the tested beams, the combination of two different analytical models is used. The prediction of the elastic till the first cracking part is achieved using a smeared crack analysis for plain concrete in torsion, whereas for the description of the post-cracking response the softened truss model is used. A simple modification to the softened truss model to include the effect of confinement is also attempted. Calculated torsional behaviour of the tested beams and 21 beams available in the literature are compared with the experimental ones and a very good agreement is observed.

A composite box-girder with corrugated steel webs has been used in civil engineering practice as an alternative to the conventional pre-stressed concrete box-girder because of several advantages, such as high shear resistance without vertical stiffeners and an increase in the efficiency of pre-stressing due to the accordion effect. Many studies have been conducted on the shear buckling and flexural behavior of the composite box-girder with corrugated steel webs. However, the torsional behavior is not fully understood yet, and it needed to be investigated. Prior study of the torsion of the composite box-girder with corrugated steel webs has been developed by assuming that the concrete section is cracked prior to loading and doesn't have tensile resistance. This results in poor estimation of pre-cracking behaviors, such as initial stiffness. To overcome this disadvantage of the previous analytical model, an improved analytical model for torsion of the composite box-girder with corrugated steel webs was developed considering the concrete tension behavior in this study. Based on the proposed analytical model, a non-linear torsional analysis program for torsion of the composite box-girder with corrugated steel webs was developed and successfully verified by comparing with the results of the test. The proposed analytical model shows that the concrete tension behavior has significant effect on the initial torsional stiffness and cracking torsional moment. Finally, a simplified torsional moment-twist angle relationship of the composite box-girder with corrugated steel webs was proposed based on the proposed analytical model.

본 연구는 세계적인 선수를 대상으로 남자 기계체조 도마 종목에서 로페즈 기술을 수행했을 때 성공 동작과 실패 동작에 따라 운동학적 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 연구대상은 올림픽 금메달리스트 YHS 선수(나이: 27세, 신장: 160cm, 체중: 53kg중)이였고, 14대의 적외선 고속카메라를 이용하여 도마 동작을 촬영하였다. 원하는 동작 자료획득과 분석을 위해 19mm 반사 마커 26개를 해부학적 주요지점에 부착시켰고, 15개 분절 신체모델을 사용하여 운동학적 변인 계산을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 구름판 접촉구간에서 성공 동작의 소요시간이 실패 동작보다 길었으며, 성공 동작은 슬관절의 가동범위를 실패 동작보다 크게 하였다. 둘째, 제1비약에서 성공 동작과 실패 동작의 소요시간은 동일하였다. 성공 동작은 실패 동작보다 짧은 수평이동을 했으며, 높은 수직위치와 도마 착지각을 보였다. 셋째, 도마 접촉구간에서 성공 동작의 소요시간이 실패 동작보다 짧았다. 성공 동작은 도마접촉 순간에 실패 동작보다 좌측 견관절각을 크게 하였다. 넷째, 제2비약에서는 성공 동작의 소요시간이 실패 동작보다 길었으며, 긴 수평이동을 나타냈다. 성공 동작은 도마이륙 순간 우측 견관절각을 크게 하였고, 비틀기 각속도는 빨랐다. 종합하면 YHS 선수가 안정적인 로페즈 기술을 구사하기 위해서는 도마접촉 순간에 높은 자세로 진입하여 도마이륙 순간에서는 우측 견관절각을 크게하여 빠른 비틀기 각속도를 만들어야 한다. 최대높이와 착지 순간에서는 좌·우견관절각을 작게하여 관성모멘트를 줄이고 신체중심을 낮춰야 할 필요가 있다.
