In the previous research, the axial compressive capacity models for the glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP)-reinforced circular concrete compression elements restrained with GFRP helix were put forward based on small and noisy datasets by considering a limited number of parameters portraying less accuracy. Consequently, it is important to recommend an accurate model based on a refined and large testing dataset that considers various parameters of such components. The core objective and novelty of the current research is to suggest a deep learning model for the axial compressive capacity of GFRP-reinforced circular concrete columns restrained with a GFRP helix utilizing various parameters of a large experimental dataset to give the maximum precision of the estimates. To achieve this aim, a test dataset of 61 GFRP-reinforced circular concrete columns restrained with a GFRP helix has been created from prior studies. An assessment of 15 diverse theoretical models is carried out utilizing different statistical coefficients over the created dataset. A novel model utilizing the group method of data handling (GMDH) has been put forward. The recommended model depicted good effectiveness over the created dataset by assuming the axial involvement of GFRP main bars and the confining effectiveness of transverse GFRP helix and depicted the maximum precision with MAE = 195.67, RMSE = 255.41, and R2 = 0.94 as associated with the previously recommended equations. The GMDH model also depicted good effectiveness for the normal distribution of estimates with only a 2.5% discrepancy from unity. The recommended model can accurately calculate the axial compressive capacity of FRP-reinforced concrete compression elements that can be considered for further analysis and design of such components in the field of structural engineering.

To investigate the seismic behavior of steel slag self-stressing concrete-filled circular steel tubular (SSSCFCST) columns, 14 specimens were designed, namely, 10 SSSCFCST columns and four ordinary steel slag (SS) concrete (SSC)-filled circular steel tubular (SSCFCST) columns. Comparative tests were conducted under low reversed cyclic loading considering various parameters, such as the axial compression ratio, diameter-thickness ratio, shear-span ratio, and expansion ratio of SSC. The failure process of the specimens was observed, and hysteretic and skeleton curves were obtained. Next, the influence of these parameters on the hysteretic behavior of the SSSCFCST columns was analyzed. The self stress of SS considerably increased the bearing capacity and ductility of the specimens. Results indicated that specimens with a shear-span ratio of 1.83 exhibited compression bending failure, whereas those with shear-span ratios of 0.91 or 1.37 exhibited drum-shaped cracking failure. However, shear-bond failure occurred in the nonloading direction. The stiffness of the falling section of the specimens decreased with increasing shear-span ratio. The hysteretic curves exhibited a weak pinch phenomenon, and their shapes evolved from a full shuttle shape to a bow shape during loading. The skeleton curves of the specimens were nearly complete, progressing through elastic, elastoplastic, and plastic stages. Based on the experimental study and considering the effects of the SSC expansion rate, shear-span ratio, diameter-thickness ratio, and axial compression ratio on the seismic behavior, a peak displacement coefficient of 0.91 was introduced through regression analysis. A simplified method for calculating load-displacement skeleton curves was proposed and loading and unloading rules for SSSCFCST columns were provided. The load-displacement restorative force model of the specimens was established. These findings can serve as a guide for further research and practical application of SSSCFCST columns.

This paper is motivated by the lack of studies relating to vibration and nonlinear resonance of fluid-conveying cantilever porous GPLR pipes with fractional viscoelastic model resting on nonlinear foundations. A dynamical model of cantilever porous Graphene Platelet Reinforced (GPLR) pipes conveying fluid and resting on nonlinear foundation is proposed, and the vibration, natural frequencies and primary resonant of such system are explored. The pipe body is considered to be composed of GPLR viscoelastic polymeric pipe with porosity in which Halpin-Tsai scheme in conjunction with fractional viscoelastic model is used to govern the construction relation of the nanocomposite pipe. Three different porosity distributions through the pipe thickness are introduced. The harmonic concentrated force is also applied on pipe and excitation frequency is close to the first natural frequency. The governing equation for transverse motion of the pipe is derived by the Hamilton principle and then discretized by the Galerkin procedure. In order to obtain the frequency-response equation, the differential equation is solved with the assumption of small displacement, damping coefficient, and excitation amplitude by the multiple scale method. A parametric sensitivity analysis is carried out to reveal the influence of different parameters, such as nanocomposite pipe properties, fluid velocity and nonlinear viscoelastic foundation coefficients, on the primary resonance and linear natural frequency. Results indicate that the GPLs weight fraction porosity coefficient, fractional derivative order and the retardation time have substantial influences on the dynamic response of the system.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has attracted increasing attention in prefabricated steel-concrete composite beams as achieving the onsite construction time savings and structural performance improvement. The inferior replacement and removal efficiency of conventional prefabricated steel-UHPC composite beams (PSUCBs) has thwarted its sustainable applications because of the widely used welded-connectors. Single embedded nut bolted shear connectors (SENBs) have recently introduced as an attempt to enhance demountability of PSUCBs. An in-depth exploration of the mechanical behavior of SENBs in UHPC is necessary to evidence feasibilities of corresponding PSUCBs. However, existing research has been limited to SENB arrangement impacts and lacked considerations on SENB geometric configuration counterparts. To this end, this paper performed twenty push-out tests and theoretical analyses on the shear performance and design recommendation of SENBs. Key test parameters comprised the diameter and grade of SENBs, degree and sequence of pretension, concrete casting method and connector type. Test results indicated that both diameters and grades of bolts exerted remarkable impacts on the SENB shear performance with respect to the shear and frictional responses. Also, there was limited influence of the bolt preload degrees on the shear capacity and ductility of SENBs, but non-negligible contributions to their corresponding frictional resistance and initial shear stiffness. Moreover, inverse pretension sequences or monolithic cast slabs presented slight improvements in the ultimate shear and slip capacity. Finally, design-oriented models with higher accuracy were introduced for predictions of the ultimate shear resistance and load-slip relationship of SENBs in PSUCBs.

The research comprehensively studies the axial compression performance of T-shaped concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular (CTST) long columns after fire exposure. Initially, a series of tests investigate the effects of heating time, load eccentricity, and stiffeners on the column's performance. Furthermore, Finite Element (FE) analysis is employed to establish temperature and mechanical field models for the T-shaped CTST long column with stiffeners after fire exposure, using carefully determined key parameters such as thermal parameters, constitutive relations, and contact models. In addition, a parametric analysis based on the numerical models is conducted to explore the effects of heating time, section diameter, material strength, and steel ratio on the axial compressive bearing capacity, bending bearing capacity under normal temperature, as well as residual bearing capacity after fire exposure. The results reveal that the maximum lateral deformation occurs near the middle of the span, with bending increasing as heating time and eccentricity rise. Despite a decrease in axial compressive load and bending capacity after fire exposure, the columns still exhibit desirable bearing capacity and deformability. Moreover, the obtained FE results align closely with experimental findings, validating the reliability of the developed numerical models. Additionally, this study proposes a simplified design method to calculate these mechanical property parameters, satisfying the ISO-834 standard. The relative errors between the proposed simplified formulas and FE models remain within 10%, indicating their capability to provide a theoretical reference for practical engineering applications.

Casting Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) on an orthotropic steel deck and forming a composite action by connectors could improve the steel deck fatigue performance. This study presents the mechanical performance of a proposed post-combination connection between UHPC and steel, which had a low constraint effect on UHPC shrinkage. A total of 10 push-out tests were conducted for static and fatigue performance investigations. And the test results were compared with evaluation methods in codes to verify the latter's applicability. Meanwhile, nonlinear simulation and parametric works with material damage plasticity models were also conducted for the static and fatigue failure mechanism understanding. The static and fatigue test results both showed that fractures at stud roots and surrounding local UHPC crushes were the main failure appearances. Compared with normally arranged studs, group arrangement could result in reductions of static stud shear stiffness, strength, and fatigue lives, which were about 18%, 12%, and 27%, respectively. Compared with the test results, stud shear capacity and fatigue lives evaluations based on the codes of AASHTO, Eurocode 4, JSCE and JTG D64 could be applicable in general while the safety redundancies tended to be smaller or even insufficient for group studs. The analysis results showed that arranging studs in groups caused obviously uneven strain distributions. The severer stress concentration and larger strain ranges caused the static and fatigue performance degradations of group studs. The research outcome provides a very important basis for establishing a design method of connections in the novel post-combination steel-UHPC composite deck.

본 연구의 목적은 최근 해삼 소비량이 크게 늘고 있는 추세에 맞추어 해삼의 기호성 및 조직감을 위한 최적 팽윤조건, 방법을 도출하는데 있다. 또한 처리 조건을 달리하여 보다 손쉽게 건해삼을 불리는 방법을 연구하고자 하였고, 팽윤시간 단축 및 해삼특유의 성품 규명과 이에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하고자 시간을 단축하고 준비 과정 중 발생하는 시간적 낭비를 줄여 손쉽게 사용될 수 있는 기초 자료로 활용되고자 하였다. 건해삼을 삶기나 찌기를 각각 5, 15, 30, 60분씩 하여 4회 반복 실험하였고, 무게, 길이, 부피는 5, 15, 30, 60분씩 삶기나 찌기를 한 후 6회 반복 실험하여, 성품을 상호 비교하였으며, 결과는 다음과 같다. 팽윤된 해삼의 pH는 모든 시료가 비슷한 중성값을 나타냈다. 서로 다른 가열방법을 사용한 팽윤된 해삼의 pH값은 크게 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 색도 L값의 경우 모든 시료의 명도는 어두운 수치를 보였으며, 적색도 a값의 경우에는 삶기(boiling) 30분 시료가 가장 높은 a값을 보였다. 수분함량의 경우 삶기(boiling) 60분 끓인 시료가 가장 높게 나타났으며, 찌기(steaming)의 경우에는 시간이 경과함에 따라 수분함량이 낮게 나타났다. 경도의 경우 삶기(boiling)보다 찌기(steaming)을 이용한 것이 좋은 결과가 나타났으며, 신장성의 경우 전체 시료 간에 차이가 없었다. 씹힘성의 경우 가열시간이 짧을수록 높은 수치로 측정되었고, 장시간 가열될수록 씹힘성의 낮은 결과값이 나타났다. 해삼의 조직은 시간이 경과함에 따라 수분흡수량이 높아져 조직이 연해지는 결과가 나타났다. 무게값을 측정한 결과는 삶기(boiling) 30분 후 90분, 찌기(steaming) 60분 후 120분에서 가장 무게값이 크게 증가하였고, 횟수를 줄이고 장시간 가열하는 방법이 해삼의 팽윤도에는 좋은 성품이 완성되는 실험결과가 나타났다. 길이 및 부피의 측정결과 삶기(boiling)의 경우 가열횟수가 증가할수록 길이 값이 늘어나는 유의적인 결과가 나타났고(p<0.001), 부피의 경우 1회, 2회 조작 직후 가장 높은 부피 증가 값을 보였다. 성품완성까지의 소요시간을 측정해 본 결과 삶기(boiling)의 경우 60분 가열 조작한 시료가 2회 16시간 경과 후 길이 10 cm, 부피 32 mL로 완성되었고, 찌기(steaming)의 경우 60분 가열 조작한 시료가 2회 16시간 경과 후 길이 12 cm, 부피 52 mL로 측정되었다. 가열방법에 의한 해삼의 팽윤도는 가열시간과 횟수는 동일하였지만, 찌기(steaming)의 경우가 더 높은 결과 값을 나타냈다. 실험을 통해 팽윤된 해삼의 샘플 중 가장 성품까지의 소요시간이 짧고 최상의 Texture의 샘플 5개를 분류하여 관능검사를 실시한 결과 전반적 기호도는 SCS4 > SCS3 > SCB4 > SCB3 순으로 평가 되었다. 이번 연구 결과를 종합해 볼 때 해삼의 모든 값에서 고온으로 장시간 가열한 삶기(boiling) 60분, 찌기(steaming) 60분 시료가 가장 좋은 결과 값을 나타냈고 가열방법에 따른 물의 양과 온도유지를 지속적으로 유지하는 방법에 대한 보완이 필요할 것이라 판단되었다. 해삼은 특유의 texture을 중시하는 식품으로 해삼의 종류와 건조방법, 보관방법에 따라 성품에 많은 변수가 작용되는데, 보편적으로 해삼의 팽윤에 영향을 미치는 가열방법, 시간 및 온도를 잘 파악하여 보다 간편하게 실무에서 사용될 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Approximately 70% of Korea is composed of forest areas. Especially 48% of agricultural field is practiced at highland areas over 400 m in elevation in Kangwon province. Over 90% of highland agricultural farming is located at Kangwon province. Runoff characteristics at the mountainous area such as Kangwon province are largely affected by steep slopes, thus runoff estimation considering field slopes needs to be utilized for accurate estimation of direct runoff. Although many methods for runoff estimation are available, the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), now Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), Curve Number (CN)-based method is used in this study. The CN values were obtained from many plot-years dataset obtained from mid-west areas of the United States, where most of the areas have less than 5% in slopes. Thus, the CN method is not suitable for accurate runoff estimation where significant areas are over 5% in slopes. Therefore, the CN values were adjusted based on the average slopes (25.8% at Doam-dam watershed) depending on the 5-day Antecedent Moisture Condition (AMC). In this study, the CN-based Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment (L-THIA) direct runoff estimation model used and the Web-based Hydrograph Analysis Tool (WHAT) was used for direct runoff separation from the stream flow data. The $R^2$ value was 0.65 and the Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient value was 0.60 when no slope adjustment was made in CN method. However, the $R^2$ value was 0.69 and the Nash-Sutcliffe value was 0.69 with slope adjustment. As shown in this study, it is strongly recommended the slope adjustment in the CN direct runoff estimation should be made for accurate direct runoff prediction using the CN-based L-THIA model when applied to steep mountainous areas.

본 연구에서는 국내외에서 범용되고 있는 단일강우사상 모형인 미육군공병단의 HEC-1 모형을 이용하여 대청댐 유역의 실측 강우-유출 사상을 중심으로 강우-유출 모의를 수행하였으며, 매개변수 검정에는 실제 대청댐의 시간당 유입량을 기준으로 검정을 실시하였다. HEC-1 모형에는 매개변수를 자동으로 최적화시키는 프로그램이 내장되어 있으나 본 연구의 대상유역과 같이 다수의 소유역이 있는 경우, 매개변수 추정시 매개변수 중 일부는 수렴되지 못하고 발산하는 문제가 있었으며, 첨두유량의 추정능력 역시 저하되는 문제를 보였다. 따라서 이러한 HEC-1 모형의 매개변수의 불확실성을 고려하기 위한 방안으로 Bayesian 모형을 HEC-1모형에 연동시켜 활용하였으며, 기존 HEC-1 강우-유출 모형에 적용할 수 있는 매개변수 최적화 및 불확실성 정량화를 위해 HEC-1 강우-유출 모형 매개변수는 SCS 1개, Clark 단위도 2개를 Bayesian MCMC 기법을 적용하여 매개변수간 조건부확률로 모의발생을 한 후, Bayesian 모형으로부터 각 매개변수의 사후분포(posterior distribution)를 추정하여 사후분포의 추정이 매개변수의 불확실성 정량화를 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제안된 BHEC-1 모형을 대상으로 대청댐 유역에 실측 강우-유출사상에 대해서 모형의 적합성을 평가한 결과, 7개 유역의 21개의 매개변수가 해의 발산 없이 안정된 매개변수 추정이 가능하였다. 한편, Bayesian 모형을 근간으로 하기 때문에 최종결과로서 매개변수들의 사후분포(posterior)의 추정이 가능하여 향후 홍수빈도곡선 유도, 댐 위험도분석과 기후변화 문제와 같은 다양한 수문학적 문제의 연구에 적용 가능할 것으로 전망된다.
