RC 구조물은 서로 다른 재료적 특성을 지닌 콘크리트와 철근의 복합구조이고, 특히 콘크리트는 복잡한 소성거동을 나타내는 재료이다. 따라서 RC 구조물의 소성해석을 위해서는 콘크리트와 철근 각각의 재료특성과 소성거동을 묘사할 수 있는 세밀한 모델링 기법이 필요하지만, 이때 발생하는 모델링의 어려움, 모델링 규모, 계산용량 및 수렴성 등의 문제점으로 인하여 소성해석 수행에 많은 시간과 노력이 소요되거나 해석자체가 불가능하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 간편한 RC 구조물의 소성해석을 위해 RC 부재와 동일한 소성거동을 나타내는 균질·등방 재료로의 물성치환 방법을 제시하였다. 물성치환 원리는 RC 부재의 소성거동 특성, 즉 항복모멘트, 항복곡률 및 극한모멘트, 극한곡률로 표현되는 bi-linear 형태의 모멘트-곡률 관계를 이용하여, 이와 동일한 모멘트-곡률 관계(bi-linear 형태의 응력 변형률 관계)를 갖는 균질·등방 재료를 생성하였다. 또한 실제 RC 부재 해석모델과 치환된 균질·등방 재료를 이용한 해석모델에 대한 소성해석 결과를 비교·분석하여 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this study, an equivalent boundary conditions (BCs) determination method is developed numerically for a panel reinforced concrete (RC) slab to realistically analyze the deformation and fatigue behaviors of a bridge RC slab. For this purpose, a finite element analysis of a bridge RC slab is carried out beforehand to calculate the stiffness of the bridge RC slab, and then the equivalent BCs for the panel RC slab are determined to achieve the same stiffness at the BCs to the obtained stiffness of the bridge RC slab at the corresponding locations of the bridge RC slab. Moreover, for the simulation of fatigue behaviors, fatigue analysis of the panel RC slab is carried out employing a finite element method based on a numerical model that considers the bridging stress degradation. Both the determined equivalent BCs and the BCs that have been typically applied in past studies are employed. The analysis results confirm that, in contrast to the panel RC slab with typically used BCs, the panel RC slab with equivalent BCs simulate the same bending moment distribution and deformation behaviors of the bridge RC slab. Furthermore, the equivalent BCs reproduce the extensive grid crack pattern in the panel RC slab, which is alike the pattern normally witnessed in a bridge RC slab. Conclusively, the panel RC slab with equivalent BCs behaves identical to the bridge RC slab, and, as a result, it shows more realistic fatigue behaviors observed in the bridge RC slab.

지진하중을 받는 철근콘크리트(이하 RC) 구조물의 해석, 설계 및 성능 평가 등에 대해서는 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으나, 지반에 둘러싸여 있는 지하 RE 구조물의 지진 해석에 대해서는 상대적으로 연구가 부족하였다. 지중의 지하 구조물은 지상 구조물과는 달리 지반과 상호작용을 하며 거동을 하기 때문에 지반내에서 하중을 받는 RC 구조물의 거동을 해석하기 위해서는 지진하중 하에서의 지반층의 거동을 예측할 수 있는 지반의 경로의존적 구성모델이 반드시 필요하다. 또한 RC 구조물과 지반 사이의 상호작용은 매체의 경계면을 통해 전달되기 때문에 보다 정확한 RC 구조물의 내진성능을 해석하기 위해서는 경계구역의 거동이 해석시에 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 지하 RC 구조물의 내진성능을 해석적으로 예측하기 위해 RC구조물에 대해서는 철근과 콘크리트의 평균화된 구성모델을 적용하였고, 지반에 대해서는 경로의존적 Ohsaki 모델을 적용하였으며, 두께를 갖는 탄소성 경계면 모델을 제안하였다. 또한 지진하중을 받는 지하 RC 정거장 구조물에 대한 내진 해석을 수행하여 지진시의 지하 RC 구조물의 파괴 기구를 해석적으로 구하였고, RC 구조물에 대한 상대적인 배근 설계에 따른 파괴 모드의 변화와 구조물의 손상 정도의 변화를 해석적으로 구하였다.

In this paper, an averaged constitutive model of concrete and reinforcing bars for RC structure and path-dependent Ohsaki's model for soil are applied, and an elasto-plastic interface model having thickness is preposed for seismic analysis of underground RC subway station structure. A finite element analysis technique is developed by applying aforementioned constitutive equations and verified through seismic analysis of underground RC subway station. Then, failure mechanisms of the RC subway station structure under seismic action are numerically derived. Then, failure modes and damage levels of the station are also analytically evaluated for the cases of several designs of the underground RC station.

본 연구에서는 다양한 변수를 갖는 병렬 RC 구조벽체시스템에 대한 성능기반설계의 타당성과 이에 따른 모멘트 재분배 개념의 적용성을 분석하기 위해 횡력을 지지하는 병렬 RC 구조벽체시스템에 대한 비선형해석을 수행하였다. 설계변수(철근비, 콘크리트변형률, 벽체높이)가 병렬 RC 구조벽체시스템의 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며 이를 기반으로 병렬 RC 구조벽체시스템의 성능기반 설계를 위한 고려사항을 제안하였다. 비선형해석 결과, 병렬 RC 구조벽체시스템 성능기반 설계와 모멘트 재분배 개념의 적용을 위해서는 연결보의 항복여부에 대한 고려가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 높은 벽체의 경우, 연결보가 항복하지 않고 탄성 상태로 거동할 수 있기 때문에 고층 병렬 RC 구조벽체시스템에 대해 성능기반 설계 및 모멘트 재분배 개념을 적용하기 위해서는 벽체에 높은 수준의 소성변형능력을 필요로 하며, 이를 위해 벽체 압축단부에 횡보강을 필수적으로 실시해야 한다.

The real situation of an underground reinforced concrete(RC) structure with the surrounding soil medium subjected to seismic load is quite difficult to be simulated through an expensive work and, even if it is possible to arrange such an experiment, it will be too expensive. So development of analytical method can be applied usefully to seismic design and seismic retrofit through an analysis of seismic behavior and seismic performance evaluation. A path-dependent constitutive model for soil that can estimate the response of soil layer is indispensible for dealing with kinematic interaction of RC/soil entire system under seismic loads. And interface model which deals with the dynamic interaction of RC/soil entire system is also necessary. In this study, finite element analysis program that can consider path-dependent behavior of RC and soil, and interfacial behavior between RC and soil is developed for rational seismic analysis of RC/soil entire system. Using this program, nonlinear behavior of interface between RC and soil is analyzed, and the effect of interfacial behavior to entire system is investigated.

As BIM application continues to increase in civil engineering, in this study, 3D information model for RC(Reinforced Concrete) bridge pylon was developed and verified its effectiveness at the structural-design stage. To define 3D information model of RC A-Type pylon, characteristics of pylon were analyzed and 3D model structure was constructed. The 3D information model, one of the core product of BIM, manages all information generated during all life-cycle of a structure and consequently maximizes the efficiency of utilizing information. Also, this study proposes interface module between input data in structural analysis and 3D model of RC pylon. The module can create the input data for non-linear structural analysis. It is essential to study on method of developing 3D information model and propose a structural analysis model by utilizing 3D model for the effective use of BIM techniques in construction industry. The results of this study can be used as the base data for developing the 3D information model of RC pylon in the structural analysis field.

This study surveyed damage to small and medium-sized RC slab bridges, the largest in number in Korea. Four common types of damage were identified, and their static and dynamic structural behaviors were examined through structural analysis. The degree of damage was selected as an analysis parameter for three superstructures of RC slab bridges. After structural analysis, a damage assessment process was proposed that can be used as the basis for establishing maintenance yplans for these bridges. The results of the present study can be used for the safety management of RC slab bridges, classified as bridges suspected of safety flaws or requiring maintenance in load-carrying capacity tests.

In the present study the behavior of fire and the residual strength of fire-ignited RC slabs are investigated by experimental tests and numerical simulations. The fire tests of RC slabs were carried out in a furnace using the ISO 834 standard fire. The load capacity of the cooled RC slabs that were not loaded during the fire tests was evaluated by additional 3 point bending tests. The influence of the proportion of PP (polypropylene) fibers in the RC slabs on the structural behavior of the RC slabs after the fire loading was investigated. The results of the fire tests showed that the maximum temperature of concrete with PP fiber was lower than that of concrete without PP fiber. As the concrete was heated, the ultimate compressive strength decreased and the ultimate strain increased. The load-deflection relations of RC slabs after fire loading were compared by using existing stress-strain-temperature models. The comparison between the numerical analysis and the experimental tests showed that some numerical analyses were reliable and therefore, can be applied to evaluate the ultimate load of RC slabs after fire loading. The ultimate load capacity after cooling down the RC slabs without PP fiber showed a considerable reduction from that of the RC slabs with PP fiber.

The main objective of this study is to analytically investigate the effectiveness of different strengthening solutions in upgrading the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Nepal. For this, four building models with different structural configurations and detailing were considered. Three possible rehabilitation solutions were studied, namely: (a) RC shear wall, (b) steel bracing, and (c) RC jacketing for all of the studied buildings. A numerical analysis was conducted with adaptive pushover and dynamic time history analysis. Seismic performance enhancement of the studied buildings was evaluated in terms of demand capacity ratio of the RC elements, capacity curve, inter-storey drift, energy dissipation capacity and moment curvature demand of the structures. Finally, the seismic safety assessment was performed based on standard drift limits, showing that retrofitting solutions significantly improved the seismic performance of existing buildings in Nepal.
