In the present structural codes the safety verification is based on a linear analysis of the structure and the satisfaction of ultimate and serviceability limit states, using a semi-probabilistic security format through the consideration of partial safety factors, which affect the action values and the characteristic values of the material properties. In this context, if a non-linear structural analysis is wanted a difficulty arises, because the global safety coefficient, which could be obtained in a straightforward way from the non-linear analysis, is not directly relatable to the different safety coefficient values usually used for the different materials, as is the case for reinforced concrete structures. The work here presented aims to overcome this difficulty by proposing a methodology that generalises the format of safety verification based on partial safety factors, well established in structural codes within the scope of linear analysis, for cases where non-linear analysis is needed. The methodology preserves the principal assumptions made in the codes as well as a reasonable simplicity in its use, including a realistic definition of the material properties and the structural behaviour, and it is based on the evaluation of a global safety coefficient. Some examples are presented aiming to clarify and synthesise all the options that were taken in the application of the proposed methodology, namely how to transpose the force distributions obtained with a non-linear analysis into design force distributions. One of the most important features of the proposed methodology, the ability for comparing the simplified procedures for second order effects evaluation prescribed in the structural codes, is also presented in a simple and systematic way. The potential of the methodology for the development and assessment of alternative and more accurate procedures to those already established in codes of practice, where non-linear effects must be considered, is also indicated.

본 논문은 보강토옹벽의 곡선부 거동을 수치해석으로 분석한 내용을 다루고 있다. 보강토옹벽은 토목섬유의 발전과 함께 발달해왔다. 기존의 콘크리트 옹벽과 달리 성토 높이에 제약을 받지 않고 안정성을 확보할 수 있다는 장점이 있으며, 현재 산업 및 주거단지를 형성하는데 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 보강토옹벽의 설계는 현재 다른 형식의 옹벽 설계와 동일하게 내 외적 안정성 검토 및 보강재의 인장력에 대한 검토를 활용하여 이루어지고 있으며, 주로 2차원 수치해석을 바탕으로 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 기존의 연구결과에 따르면, 보강토옹벽의 취약부는 곡선부로 보고되고 있으며, 이는 실내모형시험 및 피해사례에 대한 연구에서 언급된 바 있다. 보강토옹벽의 곡선부 거동을 파악하기 위한 2차원 수치해석은 그 한계점을 분명히 드러내고 있으며, 실내모형시험 및 현장시험 또한 그 거동과 파괴메커니즘을 이해하기에는 그 한계를 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보강토옹벽의 곡선부의 거동을 이해하기 위해 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 수치해석에서의 직선부와 곡선부의 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 상재하중의 고려 여부 및 성토체의 다짐도를 달리하여 각각의 조건에서의 거동특성을 비교 분석하였다.

In this study, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubbers reinforced with various particle size of carbon black were prepared and tested. We followed recently published CSA/ANSI CHMC2 standard "the test methods for evaluating material compatibility in compressed hydrogen applications-polyemr". Measurement of change in hardness, tensile strength and volume were performed after exposure to maximum operating pressure, 87.5 MPa, for 168 hours (1 week). Once EPDM was exposed to high-pressure hydrogen, the samples experience volume increase and degradation of the physical properties. Also, after the dissolved hydrogen was fully eliminated from the specimens, the hardness and the tensile properties were not recovered. The rubber reinforced with smaller sizes of carbon black particles showed less volume expansion and decrease of physical properties. As a result, smaller particle size of carbon black filler led to more resistance to high-pressure hydrogen.

본 논문은 이수식 쉴드 TBM 굴착시 굴착면 안정에 큰 영향을 미치는 굴착면의 이수 침투에 따른 이막형성여부에 대하여 해석적 고찰을 수행하였다. 이러한 해석적 접근은 이수식 쉴드 TBM의 계획 및 설계시 최적 장비 형식 선정 및 시공계획 수립에 참고가 될 수 있으나, 이제까지 이에 대한 효과적인 해석적 방법에 대하여 제안된 것이 없는 상황이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사질토 입자의 모델링에 효과적인 $PFC^{2D}$의 Fluid Coupling simulation을 이용하여 해석을 수행하였으며, 해석결과, 이수침투 특성은 굴착 대상지반의 투수성과 이수특성(비중, 점성계수등)에 따라 변화됨을 파악할 수 있었다. 본 해석적 접근방법을 통하여 이수식 쉴드 TBM의 계획 설계단계에서 대상지반 특성을 고려한 이수 점도관리 방안 수립과 함께 시공중의 초기굴진단계에서의 최적 이수점도의 재검증을 통하여 안전한 터널시공에 도움이 될 것이라 판단된다.

Observations from experiments and real fire indicate that restrained steel beams have better fire-resistant capability than isolated beams. Due to the effects of restraints, a steel beam in fire condition can undergo very large deflections and the run away damage may be avoided. In addition, axial forces will be induced with temperature increasing and play an important role on the behaviour of the restrained beam. The factors influencing the behavior of a restrained beam subjected to fire include the stiffness of axial and rotational restraints, the load type on the beam and the distribution of temperature in the cross-section of the beam, etc. In this paper, a simplified model is proposed to analyze the performance of restrained steel beams in fire condition. Based on an assumption of the deflection curve of the beam, the axial force, together with the strain and stress distributions in the beam, can be determined. By integrating the stress, the combined moment and force in the cross-section of the beam can be obtained. Then, through substituting the moment and axial force into the equilibrium equation, the behavior of the restrained beam in fire condition can be worked out. Furthermore, for the safety evaluation and repair after a fire, the behaviour of restrained beams during cooling should be understood. For a restrained beam experiencing very high temperatures, the strength of the steel will recover when temperature decreases, but the contraction force, which is produced by thermal contraction, will aggravate the tensile stresses in the beam. In this paper, the behaviour of the restrained beam in cooling phase is analyzed, and the effect of the contraction force is discussed.

최근들어 1km이상의 장대터널건설이 급증하는 추세이고 이로 인해 터널내 화재가 발생하면 터널내부는 외부와의 통로가 한정되고 고립된 공간이므로 화재로부터 발생되는 연기와 열로 대형인명사고가 발생 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 그러므로 고속도로 터널의 경우, 터널화재에 대비한 방재시스템을 구축하고 있지만 터널의 장대화, 화물운송차량의 대형화, 운반물류의 다양화에 따라 가연물의 규모, 터널내 기류등 다양화된 제반조건을 세부적으로 고려한 화염확산 형태 및 연기유동 메카니즘에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고속도로 터널 실물화재실험을 수행하여 화재발생시 터널내부의 온도분포, 풍속, 연기거동 특성을 분석하였다.

Cylindrical shells are often used in ship structures at deck plating with a camber, side shell plating at fore and aft parts, and bilge structure part. It has been believed that such curved shells can be modelled fundamentally by a part of a cylinder under axial compression. From the estimations with the usage of cylinder models, it is known that, in general, curvature increases the buckling strength of a curved shell subjected to axial compression, and that curvature is also expected to increase the ultimate strength. We conduct series of elasto-plastic large deflection analyses in order to clarify the fundamentals in buckling and plastic collapse behaviour of cylindrical shells under axial compression. From the numerical results, we derive design formula for predicting the ultimate strength of cylindrical shell, based on a series of the nonlinear finite element calculations for all edges, simply supporting plating, varying the slenderness ratio, curvature and aspect ratio, as well as the following design formulae for predicting the ultimate strength of cylindrical shell. From a number of analysis results, fitting curve can be developed to use parameter of slenderness ratio with implementation of the method of least squares. The accuracy of design formulae for evaluating ultimate strength has been confirmed by comparing the calculated results with the FE-analysis results and it has a good agreement to predict their ultimate strength.

The residual safety assessment of steel structures, an important subject in practice, is given to much attention. Life prediction in the planning course of steel structures under fatigue loading is mainly based on fatigue design criteria resulting from S-N curves. But for any reason cracks have to be assumed due to fabrication failures or fatigue loading in service which can lead total fracture of structures. The life prediction can be carried out by means of fracture mechanics using Paris-Erdogan equation($da/dN=C {\cdot}{\Delta}K^m$). The paper presents results from charpy test to interpret transition behaviour of charpy energy($A_V$) in a wide temperature range and from constant-load-amplitude test to measure fatigue crack growth of various steels widely used in steel bridges since beginning of 20 centuries in Europe. In the normal service temperature range of steel bridges, the steel S355M shows higher maximum charpy energy($A_{Vmax}$) and lower transition temperature($T_{AVmax/2}$) than other steels considered. The C and m of Paris-Erdogan equation on the steels appear to be correlated, and to be affected by the R-ratios due to crack closure, especially at a low fatigue crack growth rate. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was carried out to interpret an influence of the crack closure effects on the correlation of C and m.
