Due to the significant aerodynamic interference from sub-towers and surrounding tall buildings, the wind loads and dynamic responses on main tower of three-tower connected tall building typically change especially compared with those on the isolated single tall building. This paper addresses the wind load effects and equivalent static wind loads (ESWLs) of three-tower connected tall building based on measured synchronous surface pressures in a wind tunnel. The variations of the global shape coefficients and extremum wind loads of main tower structure with or without interference effect under different wind directions are studied, pointing out the deficiency of the traditional wind loads based on the load codes for the three-tower connected tall building. The ESWLs calculation method based on elastic restoring forces is proposed, which completely contains the quasi-static item, inertia item and the coupled effect between them. Then the wind-induced displacement and acceleration responses for main tower of three-tower connected tall building in the horizontal and torsional directions are investigated, subsequently the structural basal and floor ESWLs under different return periods, wind directions and damping ratios are studied. Finally, the action mechanism of interference effect on structural wind effects is investigated. Main conclusions can provide a sientific basis for the wind-resistant design of such three-tower connected tall building.

This paper presents the static and dynamic measurements for the strength and motion characteristics as well as the improved procedures to assess strength of wheel loaders. Two scenarios for static measurement were decided by which cylinder was actuating. The dynamic measurement was performed for two types of motion, that is, simple reciprocation of the working devices and actual working motion including traveling, digging and dumping. The measured items were stresses, cylinder pressures and strokes. Stress induced by bucket working showed higher level than that by boom working. The measured cylinder speeds were relatively superior to the design speeds. Working stress histories were thought to be closer to static rather than dynamic. A fully assembled FE model was prepared for structural analysis. In this paper, a more simple method was suggested to avoid nonlinearity caused by heave of rear frame under digging forces. Also how brake affected on structural behavior and digging force was examined closely in relation with tire pressure. It was confirmed that the overall stress level of wheel loader during turning traveling with loaded bucket was far lower than the yield stress of material.

Based on the nonlinear static analysis and the approximate seismic evaluation method adopted in "Guidelines for seismic performance evaluation for existing buildings, two methods to calculate strength demand for retrofitting individual structural walls in unreinforced masonry buildings are proposed." The displacement coefficient method to determine displacement demand from nonlinear static analysis results is used for the inverse calculation of overall strength demand required to reduce the displacement demand to a target value meeting the performance objective of the unreinforced masonry building to retrofit. A preliminary seismic evaluation method to screen out vulnerable buildings, of which detailed evaluation is necessary, is utilized to calculate overall strength demand without structural analysis based on the difference between the seismic demand and capacity. A system modification factor is introduced to the preliminary seismic evaluation method to reduce the strength demand considering inelastic deformation. The overall strength demand is distributed to the structural walls to retrofit based on the wall stiffness, including the remaining walls or otherwise. Four detached residential houses are modeled and analyzed using the nonlinear static and preliminary evaluation procedures to examine the proposed method.

Anchor channels are commonly used for façade, tunnel, and structural connections. These connections encounter various types of loadings during their service life, including high rate or impact loading. For anchor channels that are placed close and parallel to an edge and loaded in shear perpendicular to and towards the edge, the failure is often governed by concrete edge breakout. This study investigates the transverse shear behavior of the anchor channels under quasi-static and high rate loadings using a numerical approach (3D finite element analysis) utilizing a rate-sensitive microplane model for concrete as constitutive law. Following the validation of the numerical model against a test performed under quasi-static loading, the rate-sensitive static, and rate-sensitive dynamic analyses are performed for various displacement loading rates varying from moderately high to impact. The increment in resistance due to the high loading rate is evaluated using the dynamic increase factor (DIF). Furthermore, it is shown that the failure mode of the anchor channel changes from global concrete edge failure to local concrete crushing due to the activation of structural inertia at high displacement loading rates. The research outcomes could be valuable for application in various types of connection systems where a high rate of loading is expected.

산업에서 널리 사용되고 있는 압축 원통 코일 스프링은 제작 시 스프링 고유의 특성을 유지할 수 있는지 실험을 통해 검증해야 한다. 이 과정에서 많은 시간과 비용을 소비한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선형 정적 구조 해석 방법을 이용하여 스프링의 구조 건전성 평가를 수행하였다. 본 연구의 타당성을 입증할 목적으로 설계 규격 및 각종 국제적 평가 규격에 의한 실험적 방법과의 비교 및 검증을 수행하였다. 양 끝단 처리를 하지 않은 스프링 형상을 사용하여 구조 해석을 수행한 결과, 해석 모형 제작에 필요한 시간은 절감하고 격자의 질은 향상할 수 있었다. 푸아송 비는 구조 해석 결과에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그리고 구조 해석만으로 스프링 구조 건전성을 검증할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

파일런 내부에 장착되는 외부장착물 분리장치(BRU)는 외부연료탱크나 외부무장 등의 외부장착물을 고정하는 역할을 하며, 비상시에는 외부장착물을 분리하는 역할을 한다. 특히, 외부장착물을 분리시킬 때 BRU에 의해 발생하는 하중을 펀칭하중이라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 파일런에 작용하는 BRU 펀칭하중 조건에서 파일런의 구조 건전성을 검증하기 위해 수행한 구조 정적시험 결과를 제시하였다. 구조 정적시험에서 외부장착물의 분리하중에 대한 구현방식과 BRU 펀칭하중 조건에 대한 시험 프로파일을 제시하였고, 각 시험에서 하중제어의 적절성을 판단하기 위해 하중 입력신호와 출력신호 사이의 오차를 비교하였다. 그리고, 파일런의 주요 위치에서 수치해석 결과와 시험에서 계측된 변형률을 비교하였다. 시험 결과, 시험수행 간에 시험하중이 잘 제어되었고, 수치해석이 시험결과를 잘 예측한 것으로 파악되었다. 최종적으로, 설계 제한하중과 설계 극한하중에 의해 수행된 구조 정적시험을 통해 본 연구에서 다루고 있는 항공기용 파일런은 외부장착물 분리하중에 대해 충분한 구조 강도를 보유하고 있음을 검증하였다.

Structural reanalysis is frequently utilized to reduce the computational cost so that the process of design or optimization can be accelerated. The supports can be regarded as the design variables and may be modified in various types of structural optimization problems. The location, number, and type of supports can make a great impact on the performance of the structure. This paper presents a unified method for structural static reanalysis with imposition or relaxation of some support constraints. The information from the initial analysis has been fully utilized and the computational time can be significantly reduced. Numerical examples are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a comparative structural analysis of lattice hybrid tower with six legs with conventional tubular steel tower for an onshore wind turbine using finite element method. Usually a lattice hybrid tower will have a conventional industry standard 'L' profile section for the lattice construction with four legs. In this work, the researcher attempted to identify and analyze the strength of six legged lattice hybrid tower designed with a special profile instead of four legged L profile. And to compare the structural benefits of special star profile with the conventional tubular tower. Using Ansys, a commercial FEM software, both static and dynamic structural analyses were performed. A simplified finite element model that represents the wind turbine tower was created using Shell elements. An ultimate load condition was applied to check the stress level of the tower in the static analysis. For the dynamic analysis, the frequency extraction was performed in order to obtain the natural frequencies of the tower.

Static load tests were performed to propose the appropriate strengthening method of R/C deep beam using Carbon Fiber Sheets and compared to those of nonlinear structural analysis. Fiber direction and anchorage method on the deep beam specimen were chosen as experimental variables, which lead to the following conclusions that initial shear cracks are independent of strengthening method and fiber directions perpendicular to the expected fracture mode, which was given by the nonlinear structural analysis, show better performance compared to those of horizontal and vertical fiber directions.
