The recently introduced index Ratio Of Torsion (ROT) quantifies the base shear amplification due to torsional effects on shear cantilever types of building structures. In this work, a theoretical proof based on the theory of elasticity is provided, depicting that the ratio of torsion (ROT) is independent of the forces acting on the structure, although its definition stems from the shear forces. This is a particular attribute of other design and evaluation criteria against torsion such as center of rigidity and center of strength. In the case of ROT, this evidence could be considered as inconsistent, as ROT is a function solely of the forces acting on structural members, nevertheless it is proven to be independent of them. As ROT is the amplification of the shear forces due to in-plan irregularities, this work depicts that this increase of internal shear forces rely only on the structural topology. Moreover, a numerical verification of this theoretical finding was accomplished, using linear statistics interpretation and nonlinear neural networks simulation for an adequate database of structures.

In the current work, a series of seismic analyses of one-storey asymmetrical reinforced concrete (R/C) framed buildings is accomplished while the effect of soil deformability on the structural response is investigated. A comparison is performed between the simplified elastic behavior of R/C elements according to the structural regulations' instructions to the possible non-linear behavior of R/C elements under actual circumstances. The target of the time history analyses is the elucidation of the Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) effect in the seismic behavior of common R/C structures by examining the possible elastic or elastoplastic behavior of R/C sections because of the redistribution of the internal forces by employing a realistic damage index. The conclusions acquired from the presented elastic and elastoplastic analyses supply practical guidelines towards the safer design of structures.

이 논문에서는 3축 가력상태에 놓인 박스형 암거의 극한파괴실험을 실시하고 박스형 암거의 파괴거동 특성을 파악하고 하중증가에 따른 균열폭의 변화를 측정하였다. 현실적인 외압상태를 모사하기 위해 상부 및 좌,우측부에서 동시에 가력할 수 있는 3축 가력시스템을 이용하여 하중을 재하 하였다. 하중 증가에 따른 상부슬래브 및 좌,우측 벽체에서의 균열양상을 관찰하였으며 상부슬래브에서의 균열폭 증가량을 정량적으로 측정하였다. 이를 통해 균열폭 증가에 따른 구조손상도를 실험적으로 정량화시켜 박스형 암거의 구조내력저하지수를 실험적으로 추정하였다.

비정형 판 부재의 탄소성 좌굴 강도를 평가할 수 있는 새로운 지표를 제안하였다. 부재 경계면에 작용하는 하중 또는 경계면의 변화에 따른 외부일 또는 변형에너지를 부재의 평형 변형경로에 따라 계산하고, 이 에너지의 이차 변분량의 부호가 양에서 음으로 바뀌는 시점을 안정한계로 제안하였다. 판 부재의 단면력을 등분포 또는 선형으로 근사한 상태로 단면력을 사용하여 좌굴한계를 평가하는 현 기법과는 반대로 단면력의 변화가 비선형적인 복잡한 경우에도 간단히 좌굴한계를 평가할 수 있다. 선형탄성 문제에 대해서는 본 기법의 결과와 전통적인 방법이 동일한 결과를 도출한다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of genu valgum on the body mass index, movement of lower limb joints, and ground reaction force. Methods : Gait patterns of 30 college students with genu valgum were analyzed and the static Q angle of the femur was measured for selecting genu valgum of the subjects. To analyze the kinetic changes during walking, the six-camera Vicon MX motion analysis system was used. The subjects were asked to walk 12 meters using the more comfortable walking method for walking. After they walked 12 meters more than 10 times, their most natural walking patterns were chosen three times and analyzed. Results : As a result of measuring a relationship between genu valgum and Q-angle, as the Q-angle increases, it showed a genu valgum also increased. Body Mass Index showed a significant difference between the groups was higher in the genu valgum group.(p<.001). The analysis result showed that genu valgum had a significant effect on the internal rotation moment in the hip joint(p<.05). Also, genu valgum had a significant effect on the internal rotation moment of the knee joint(p<.05). The comparative analysis of the Medial-Lateral ground reaction force in the genu valgum group showed a tendency to increase the medial ground reaction force(p<.05). The vertical ground reaction forces of the middle of the stance phase(Fz0) showed a significant increase in genu valgum group(p<.05), in particular the results showed a decrease in the early stance phase(p<.001). Conclusion : In conclusion, the change in body mass is considered to be made by proactive regular exercise for improvement of the genu valgum. In addition, the prevention of the deformation caused by secondary of the genu valgum in this study may be used as an indicator of the position alignment rehabilitation for structural and functional improvements. Applying a therapeutic exercise program for the next lap will require changes in posture alignment.
