콘크리트 부재의 내진설계에 있어 강도와 더불어 변형 능력은 중요한 요소이다. 연결보는 전단 지배 부재임에도 항복 이후 소성 변형을 요구하는 부재인데 본 연구에서는 연결보의 변형 능력에 대한 실험을 통해 변형 모형을 제시하였다. 일반적인 배근 형태를 가진 철근 콘크리트 연결보를 대상으로 단조하중실험을 수행하였다. 경간-깊이비, 휨 철근비, 전단 철근비를 변수로 하여 연결보의 거동을 평가하였다. 전단 지배 부재인 연결보는 아치작용과 트러스 작용으로 전단력에 대해 저항하는데 실험 결과를 통해 전단력을 두 작용의 구분과 항복 강도 발현 이후 소성 변형에 따른 두 작용의 구성비 변화에 대해 분석하였다. 실험결과에 기초한 전단 철근과 휨 철근의 변형률 분포 모형을 이용하여 휨 철근의 응력 상태를 산정하였다. 휨 철근의 부착-미끄러짐에 의해 결정되는 균열폭을 고려하는 연결보의 변형 모형을 제시하였다. 항복 상태는 휨 철근의 항복 시점으로 정의하였고, 극한 상태는 변형 증가에 따른 스트럿의 압축 강도 저하에 의해 결정되었다. 이 변형 모형은 변위기초설계에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The use of biomass is increasing as a response to the convention on climate change. In Korea, a method applied to replace fossil fuels is using wood chips in a cogeneration plant. To remove air pollutants generated by burning wood chips, a selective denitrification facility (Selective catalytic reduction, SCR) is installed downstream. However, problems such as ash deposition and descaling of the equipment surface have been reported. The cause is thought to be unreacted ammonia slip caused by ammonia ions injected into the reducing agent and metal corrosion caused by an acidic environment. Element analysis confirmed that ash contained alkali metals and sulfur that could cause catalyst poisoning, leading to an increase in the size of ash particle and deposition. Measurement of the size of ash deposited inside the facility confirmed that the size of ash deposited on the catalyst was approximately three times larger than the size of generally formed ash. Therefore, it was concluded that a reduction in pore area of the catalyst by ash deposition on the surface of the catalyst could lead to a problem of increasing differential pressure in a denitrification facility.

Stainless steel-concrete composite beam has become an attractive structural form for offshore bridges and iconic high-rise buildings, owing to the superior corrosion resistance and excellent ductility of stainless steel material. In a composite beam, stainless steel shear connectors play an important role by establishing the interconnection between stainless steel beam and concrete slab. To enable the best use of high strength stainless steel shear connectors in composite beams, high strength concrete is recommended. To date, the application of stainless steel shear connectors in composite beams is still very limited due to the lack of research and proper design recommendations. In this paper, a total of seven pushout specimens were tested to investigate the load-slip behaviour of stainless steel shear connectors. A thorough discussion has been made on the differences between stainless steel bolted connectors and welded studs, in terms of the failure modes, load-slip behaviour and ultimate shear resistance. In parallel with the experimental programme, a finite element model was developed in ABAQUS to simulate the behaviour of stainless steel shear connectors, with which the effects of shear connector strength, concrete strength and embedded connector height to diameter ratio (h/d) were evaluated. The obtained experimental and numerical results were analysed and compared with existing codes of practice, including AS/NZS 2327, EN 1994-1-1 and ANSI/AISC 360-16. The comparison results indicated that the current codes need to be improved for the design of high strength stainless steel shear connectors. On this basis, modified design approaches were proposed to predict the shear capacity of stainless steel bolted connectors and welded studs in the composite beams.

지난 1982년 우라카와 근해지진 및 1995년 효고현 남부 지진 등에 의하여 주철근이 겹침이음된 많은 교각들이 주철근 겹침이음부의 활동에 의한 휨-전단파괴를 발생하였음을 경험하였다. 철근콘크리트 교각의 내진성능은 소성힌지구간의 변형능력에 좌우되고 있으며, 이는 곡률연성도로서 평가된다. 우리나라에서는 1992년 내진 설계가 도입된 이후 철근콘크리트 교각의 주철근겹침이음에 대한 규정이 없었으나, 2005년 도로교 설계기준에서 주철근겹침음을 50% 이내에서 허용하고 있다. 본 연구는 단면 직경이 600 mm이고 형상비가 2.5 및 3.5인 주철근 겹침이음이 있는 철근콘크리트 교각에 대하여 지진시 소성힌지부의 곡률분포 및 곡률연성도에 대하여 조사하였다. 실험은 일정한 축력 $P=0.1f{ck}A_g$가 재하된 상태에서 변위제어 방식으로 준정적실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 반복하중에 의한 주철근 겹침이음부에 활동이 발생하면, 주철근 겹침이음 구간 내의 곡률이 주철근 겹침이음이 없는 경우와 다르게 나타났다. 다시 말하면 주철근 겹침이음 실험체의 겹침이음 구간 중의 하부 곡률은 주철근 겹침이음이 없는 실험체의 경우보다 큰 값을 보이고 있으며, 상부는 작은 값을 보였다. 이로 인하여 교각실험체의 손상은 겹침이음 구간의 하부에 집중되어 휨파괴되는 모습으로 보이는 양상을 보였다.

In the present study, the thermoshearing experiment on a rough rock fracture were modeled using a three-dimensional grain-based distinct element model (GBDEM). The experiment was conducted by the Korea Institute of Construction Technology to investigate the progressive shear failure of fracture under the influence of thermal stress in a critical stress state. The numerical model employs an assembly of multiple polyhedral grains and their interfaces to represent the rock sample, and calculates the coupled thermo-mechanical behavior of the grains (blocks) and the interfaces (contacts) using 3DEC, a DEM code. The primary focus was on simulating the temperature evolution, generation of thermal stress, and shear and normal displacements of the fracture. Two fracture models, namely the mated fracture model and the unmated fracture model, were constructed based on the degree of surface matedness, and their respective behaviors were compared and analyzed. By leveraging the advantage of the DEM, the contact area between the fracture surfaces was continuously monitored during the simulation, enabling an examination of its influence on shear behavior. The numerical results demonstrated distinct differences depending on the degree of the surface matedness at the initial stage. In the mated fracture model, where the surfaces were in almost full contact, the characteristic stages of peak stress and residual stress commonly observed in shear behavior of natural rock joints were reasonably replicated, despite exhibiting discrepancies with the experimental results. The analysis of contact area variation over time confirmed that our numerical model effectively simulated the abrupt normal dilation and shear slip, stress softening phenomenon, and transition to the residual state that occur during the peak stress stage. The unmated fracture model, which closely resembled the experimental specimen, showed qualitative agreement with the experimental observations, including heat transfer characteristics, the progressive shear failure process induced by heating, and the increase in thermal stress. However, there were some mismatches between the numerical and experimental results regarding the onset of fracture slip and the magnitudes of fracture stress and displacement. This research was conducted as part of DECOVALEX-2023 Task G, and we expect the numerical model to be enhanced through continued collaboration with other research teams and validated in further studies.

이 연구는 강섬유 혼입률에 따른 피복두께와 GFRP 보강근의 부착특성을 부착응력-미끌림 관계를 통하여 평가하였다. 실험변수로는 강섬유 혼입률을 0%, 1%, 2%로 하였고 피복두께는 보강근 직경($d_b$)의 $1.5d_b$와 $5.4d_b$로 하였다. GFRP 보강근의 직경은 D13과 D16 두 가지를 사용하였으며, 비교실험을 위하여 이형철근을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 피복두께에 따 상이한 파괴형태를 취했으며, 작은 피복두께를 갖는 $1.5d_b$의 경우 쪼갬파괴 형태를 취했고 충분한 피복두께인 $5.4d_b$를 갖는 경우 뽑힘파괴 형태를 취했다. 이에 강섬유 혼입률을 증가시켰음에도 파괴형태에는 영향이 없었다. 그러나 강섬유 혼입률의 증가에 따라 최대부착응력 도달 후 급작스런 부착응력 감소폭이 감소하였다. 또한, 작은 피복두께를 갖는 경우 최대부착응력에 도달 전에 파괴되면서 강섬유 혼입률에 따른 부착응력의 차이가 거의 없었지만, 충분한 피복두께를 갖는 경우에는 최대부착응력에 도달 하면서 강섬유 혼입률 증가에 따라 부착응력이 증가하였다. 이는 강섬유의 가교작용으로 인해 콘크리트 내부의 미소균열 및 쪼개짐 균열의 성장을 억제하였기 때문으로 판단되었다.

Heavy storms rainfall has caused many landslides and slope failures especially in the mountainous area of the world. Landslides and slope failures are common geologic hazards and posed serious threats and globally cause billions in monetary losses and thousands of casualies each year so that studies on slope stability and its failure mechanism under rainfall are being increasing attention of these days. Rainfall-induced slope failures are generally caused by the rise in ground water level, and increase in pore water pressures and seepage forces during periods of intense rainfall. The effective stress in the soil will be decreased due to the increased pore pressure, which thus reduces the soil shear strength, eventually resulting in slope failure. During the rainfall, a wetting front goes downward into the slope, resulting in a gradual increase of the water content and a decrease of the negative pore-water pressure. This negative pore-water pressure is referred to as matric suction when referenced to the pore air pressure that contributes to the stability of unsaturated soil slopes. Therefore, the importance is the study of saturated unsaturated soil behaviors in evaluation of slope stability under heavy rainfall condition. In an actual field, a series of failures may occur in a slope due to a rainfall event. So, this study attempts to develop a numerical model to investigate this failure mechanism. A two-dimensional seepage flow model coupled with a one-dimensional surface flow and erosion/deposition model is used for seepage analysis. It is necessary to identify either there is surface runoff produced or not in a soil slope during a rainfall event, while analyzing the seepage and stability of such slopes. Runoff produced by rainfall may result erosion/deposition process on the surface of the slope. The depth of runoff has vital role in the seepage process within the soil domain so that surface flow and erosion/deposition model computes the surface water head of the runoff produced by the rainfall, and erosion/deposition on the surface of the model slope. Pore water pressure and moisture content data obtained by the seepage flow model are then used to analyze the stability of the slope. Spencer method of slope stability analysis is incorporated into dynamic programming to locate the critical slip surface of a general slope.

Bridge piers with bending failure mode are seriously damaged only in the area of plastic hinge length in earthquakes. For this situation, a modified method for the layout of longitudinal reinforcement is presented, i.e., the number of longitudinal reinforcement is increased in the area of plastic hinge length at the bottom of piers. The quasi-static test of three scaled model piers is carried out to investigate the local longitudinal reinforcement at the bottom of the pier on the seismic performance of the pier. One of the piers is modified by increased longitudinal reinforcement at the bottom of the pier and the other two are comparative piers. The results show that the pier failure with increased longitudinal bars at the bottom is mainly concentrated at the bottom of the pier, and the vulnerable position does not transfer. The hysteretic loop curve of the pier is fuller. The bearing capacity and energy dissipation capacity is obviously improved. The bond-slip displacement between steel bar and concrete decreases slightly. The finite element simulations have been carried out by using ANSYS, and the results indicate that the seismic performance of piers with only increasing the number of steel bars (less than65%) in the plastic hinge zone can be basically equivalent to that of piers that the number of steel bars in all sections is the same as that in plastic hinge zone.

One of the major threats to the stability of classical columns and colonnades are earthquakes. The behavior of columns under high seismic excitation loads is non-linear and complex since rocking, wobbling and sliding failure modes can occur. Therefore, three dimensional simulation approaches are essential to investigate the in-plane and out-of-plane response of such structures during harmonic and seismic loading excitations. Using a software based on the Distinct Element Method (DEM) of analysis, a three dimensional numerical study has been performed to investigate the parameters affecting the seismic behaviour of colonnades' structural systems. A typical section of the two-storey colonnade of the Forum in Pompeii has been modelled and studied parametrically, in order to identify the main factors affecting the stability and to improve our understanding of the earthquake behaviour of such structures. The model is then used to compare the results between 2D and 3D simulations emphasizing the different response for the selected earthquake records. From the results analysis, it was found that the high-frequency motion requires large base acceleration amplitude to lead to the collapse of the colonnade in a shear-slip mode between the drums. However, low-frequency harmonic excitations are more prominent to cause structural collapse of the two-storey colonnade than the high-frequency ones with predominant rocking failure mode. Finally, the 2D analysis found to be unconservative since underestimates the displacement demands of the colonnade system when compared with the 3D analysis.
