본 연구는 철근상세(대각선 및 수평 철근상세)가 실규모 연결보의 구조성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 실시되었다. 연결보의 시공성 및 경제성을 향상시키기 위하여 고강도 철근(SD500 및 SD600)을 사용하였다. 반복하중이 작용하는 동안 연결보의 순경간(양쪽 전 단벽 사이의 간격)을 유지하기 위하여 강체 프레임 및 링크조인트를 설치하였다. 실험결과 대각선 철근상세을 적용한 연결보가 수평 철근상세 연결보에 비해 높은 연성을 나타내었다. AC1318-14 기준은 대각선 철근상세의 연결보 설계에는 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되나, 수평 철근상세 연결보의 최대내력은 과대평가하는 것으로 나타났다. ASCE 41-13에서 제시된 연결보의 유효강성은 대각선 및 수평 철근상세를 적용한 연결보의 실험결과를 과대평가하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, there has been inter-Korean exchanges are active, in company with an assertive international activity with North Korea and inter-Korean Summits. Thus, there is a growing possibility of Korean reunification. However, when the unification situation occurs, population inflow by North Korean residents will be expected, and it will be necessary to prepare a housing supply strategy. In addition, even if North Koreans are prevented from entering, a plan is necessary to ensure structural safety since most buildings in North Korea are aging and a recent natural disaster occurs frequently. In this research, we will try to present a temporary housing supply strategy and a short-term structural reinforcement plan based on analysis of the standard housing conditions in North Korea. In this research, we represent the analysis result of the existing construction level, supply status and structural performance of North Korea. When we consider the reinforcement period and social costs, a short-term reinforcement plan is recommended rather than the full reinforcement of the aged housing in North Korea. Furthermore, we examine the ways to secure the residential safety of North Koreans through a case study of domestic and overseas temporary residential facilities, until the permanent residential facilities were supplied. According to the analysis, the tent houses were used as a form of relief housing in overseas frequently. However, the tent house is difficult to apply for domestic country with clear seasons due to insulation and heating problems. Therefore, it is appropriate to develop a residential supply strategy as focusing on the temporary housing facilities in assembled or container from, in preparation for the future population inflow.

A design system was developed for the doubler plate of a ship structure simultaneously subjected to in-plane loads and lateral pressure based on general dimensions and those of a representative ship structure. An equivalent design equation that considers various structural design parameters was derived by introducing the equivalent plate thickness theory, and the design of the doubler plate reinforcement of the ship structure was developed. A hybrid structural design system was established for a doubler plate simultaneously subjected to in-plane loads and lateral pressure consisting of two modules: an optimized design module and a double plate strength & design review module. The practical application of this design system was illustrated to show its usability. It was found that the design safety of the doubler plate was ensured, and this system could be used as an initial design guide to review the double plate reinforcement for a dent or corrosion of the ship plate members. Using the developed design system would make it possible to obtain a more reasonable doubler plate structure that considers the rational reinforcement of plate members of ship structures. In addition, a more reliable structural analysis using a strength evaluation process can be performed to verify the efficiency of the optimum structural design for the doubler plate structure.

본 연구는 강재 단순보의 유공보 시스템에서 개구부를 지지점 에 근접한 위치에 설치하는 경우에 대하여 구조성능을 파악하고자 실험을 실시하였다. 또한 수직·수평 강판을 이용한 개구부 보강에 대하여도 실험을 통하여 구조성능을 파악하였다. 강재 단순보에서 개구부가 지지점에 근접한 위치인 강재보 높이의 절반(D/2)인 경우에 강재보 높이(D)인 경우보다 적절한 개구부 위치인 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 보강방법으로는 수직강판 보강보다는 수평강판 보강이 보강효과가 크며, 개구부와 강판의 간격이 없는 것이 구조성능이 더 큰 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is widely applied to various engineering fields. Especially, RL has shown successful performance for control problems, such as vehicles, robotics, and active structural control system. However, little research on application of RL to optimal structural design has conducted to date. In this study, the possibility of application of RL to structural design of reinforced concrete (RC) beam was investigated. The example of RC beam structural design problem introduced in previous study was used for comparative study. Deep q-network (DQN) is a famous RL algorithm presenting good performance in the discrete action space and thus it was used in this study. The action of DQN agent is required to represent design variables of RC beam. However, the number of design variables of RC beam is too many to represent by the action of conventional DQN. To solve this problem, multi-agent DQN was used in this study. For more effective reinforcement learning process, DDQN (Double Q-Learning) that is an advanced version of a conventional DQN was employed. The multi-agent of DDQN was trained for optimal structural design of RC beam to satisfy American Concrete Institute (318) without any hand-labeled dataset. Five agents of DDQN provides actions for beam with, beam depth, main rebar size, number of main rebar, and shear stirrup size, respectively. Five agents of DDQN were trained for 10,000 episodes and the performance of the multi-agent of DDQN was evaluated with 100 test design cases. This study shows that the multi-agent DDQN algorithm can provide successfully structural design results of RC beam.

본 연구에서는 1992년 도로교설계기준의 내진설계도입 이전 규정에 따라 설계, 시공된 교각의 축소 모델을 실험체로 제작하여 원형기둥의 변위비에 따른 횡하중을 변위제어 방식으로 입력하여 준정적 방법을 통해 실험을 실시하였다. 연구에 적용한 보강재는 성능을 향상시킨 무기계 합금강인 Helical Bar로써 원형기둥 외부에 보강 후 실내실험을 통하여 파괴거동, 하중-변위 관계, 연성도 평가 및 에너지 평가를 실시하였다. 실험변수로는 위험단면 내에서 나선으로 보강한 보강재의 단면력의 크기와 나선보강의 간격, 보강형태로 두었으며, 준정적 실험을 통해 보강성능의 차이와 효과를 확인하였다. 실험결과 보강대상 부재의 성능에 따라 적절한 보강재의 단면력 크기결정과 보강간격 및 형식의 선정이 필요하며 기계적 보강재뿐만 아니라 고강도 콘크리트 피복으로의 치환으로도 보강성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

For reaching large inelastic deformations without a substantial loss in strength, the potential plastic hinge regions of the reinforced concrete structural members should be confined by adequate transverse reinforcement. Therefore, simple and realistic representation of confined concrete behaviour is needed for inelastic analysis of reinforced concrete structures. In this study, a trilinear stress-strain model is proposed for the axial behaviour of confined concrete. The model is based on experimental work that was carried out on nearly full size specimens. During the interpretation of experimental data, the buckling and strain hardening of the longitudinal reinforcement are also taken into account. The proposed model is used for predicting the stress-strain relationships of confined concrete specimens tested by other researchers. Although the proposed model is simpler than most of the available models, the comparisons between the predicted results and experimental data indicate that it can represent the stress-strain relationship of confined concrete quite realistically.

The paper represents an optimization algorithm for reinforced concrete retaining wall design. The proposed method, called Rao-3 optimization algorithm, is a recently developed algorithm. The total weight of the steel and concrete, which are used for constructing the retaining wall, were chosen as the objective function. Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-05) and Rankine's theory for lateral earth pressure were considered for structural and geotechnical design, respectively. Number of the design variables are 12. Eight of those express the geometrical dimensions of the wall and four of those express the steel reinforcement of the wall. The safety against overturning, sliding and bearing capacity failure were regarded as the geotechnical constraints. The safety against bending and shear failure, minimum and maximum areas of reinforcement, development lengths of steel reinforcement were regarded as structural constraints. The performance of proposed algorithm was evaluated with two design examples.

The objective of this experimental study was to understand the structural behavior of reinforced concrete continuous deep beams with welded deformed wire fabric(WWF) as shear reinforcement. The structural behavior of deep beams reinforced with WWF was compared with that of deep beams reinforced with orthogonal shear reinforcement which had standard anchorage corresponding to ACI 318-02. Test results showed that the load transferring capacity and the control of splitting cracks in the strut of WWF were almost as effective as those of orthogonal shear reinforcement with standard anchorage.
