A basic assumption in the current design and analysis of reinforced concrete(RC) box structures, which are constructed by the open cut and fill method, is that the displacements and forces are uniform in the longitudinal direction of the structure. The solution may be therefore obtatined from the analysis of a unit wide strip along longitudinal axis. This strip is said to be in a plane strain condition, meaning that the out of plane deformations are vanished. The current design of box structure is carried out by the result of planar frame model for the sake of simplicity. The purpose of this study is to show more rational design method of box culverts considering a rigid zone of corner joints. The current analysis of box structures will be compared with the plane strain analysis as well as 3-d shell model. Reinforcement quantity is also determined to resist the tensile force in corner joints of box structures using strut-tie model which has been developed through the elastic analysis.

In this study, the effects of flexible bodies in vehicle suspension components were investigated to enhance the accuracy of multibody dynamic simulation results. Front and rear suspension components were investigated. Subframes, a stabilizer bar, a tie rod, a front lower control arm, a front knuckle, and front struts were selected. Reverse engineering techniques were used to construct a virtual vehicle model. Hard points and inertia data of the components were measured with surface scanning equipment. The mechanical characteristics of bushings and dampers were obtained from experiments. Reaction forces calculated from the multibody dynamics simulations were compared with test results at the ball joint of the lower control arm in both time-history and range-pair counting plots. Simulation results showed that the flexibility of the strut component had considerable influence on the lateral reaction force. Among the suspension components, the flexibility of the sub-frame, steering knuckle and upper strut resulted in better correlations with test results while the other flexible bodies could be neglected.

In order to improve the constructability and meanwhile ensure excellent seismic behavior, several innovative composite connection details were conceived and studied by the authors. This paper reports experimental results and observations on seismic behavior of steel beam bolted to reinforced concrete column connections (bolted RCS or BRCS). The proposed composite connection details involve post tensioning the end plates of the steel beams to the reinforced concrete or precast concrete columns using high-strength steel rods. A rational design procedure was proposed to assure a ductile behavior of the composite structure. Strut-and-tie model analysis indicates that a bolted composite connection has a favorable stress transfer mechanism. The excellent capacity and behavior were then validated through five full-scale beam to column connection model tests.

This paper presents an analytical model for determining the transverse reinforcement required for reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints subjected to reversed cyclic loading. Although the joint aspect ratio can affect joint shear strength, current design codes do not consider its effects in calculating joint shear strength and the necessary amount of transverse reinforcement. This study re-evaluated previous exterior beam-column joint tests collected from 11 references and showed that the joint shear strength decreases as the joint aspect ratio increases. An analytical model was developed, to quantify the transverse reinforcement required to secure safe load flows in exterior beam-column joints. Comparisons with a database of exterior beam-column joint tests from published literature validated the model. The required sectional ratios of horizontal transverse reinforcement calculated by the proposed model were compared with those specified in ACI 352R-02. More transverse reinforcement is required as the joint aspect ratio increases, or as the ratio of vertical reinforcement decreases; however, ACI 352R-02 specifies a constant transverse reinforcement, regardless of the joint aspect ratio. This reevaluation of test data and the results of the analytical model demonstrate a need for new criteria that take the effects of joint aspect ratio into account in exterior joint design.

The behavior of concrete deep beams in shear is substantially influenced by beam size and shape, loading conditions, reinforcement details, and material properties. Therefore, it is not easy to predict the ultimate response of beams correctly and take into account all those factors in practical shear design. In this study, a grid softened strut-tie model approach for determining the shear strengths of various reinforced concrete deep beams is proposed. The validity of the approach is examined through the strength analysis of numerous reinforced concrete deep beams tested to failure. The approach can be further developed to improve the current deep beam design procedures by incorporating the actual shear resisting mechanisms of deep beams.

This study presents a suggestion of regulation of skewed slab bridge. In order to find the characteristic behavior of skew bridge, many cases of skew bridges were analyzed with changed angle of skew. The comparison of design methods for cantilever part in pier was also made. It was found that : (1) The lower the skew angle was, the higher the maximum support reaction forces at the end point were. (2) The higher the ratio of L/B was, the higher the maximum support reaction force at the point was. (3) The effect of skew may be neglected for skew angles of $70^{\circ}$or more. (4) If elastic springs are applied to the boundary conditions to simulate the rubber pad bearings, the results will be more reasonable. (5) The shear deformation effect must be considered in the analysis of cantilever part of substructure. (6) Using strut and tie model to design cantilever part of pier, it will be more simple than finite element method with same accuracy and more accurate than using frame element.

The increasement in the floor hight may be one of the most significant problem in the use of precast concrete double slab in the multi-story buildings. The modified double-tees including duct space at the ends of slab were considered in this study. The length and thickness of nib of modified double tee was increased to receive the uniform reaction from rectangular beam, while the original PCI dapped one to receive the point load from inverted tee beam to the leg of double tee. Shear tests were performed on the ends of the modified double tees which were designed by strut-tie model. The modified double tees generally show more ductile flexural failure in the long thickened nib. It is concluded that they show superior failure patterns than that of original dapped one with shear failure.

최근 ACI 318-02기준 부록 A에 깊은 보의 전단설계에 있어 스트럿-타이 모델을 적용 가능하도록 소개하고 있다. STM은 깊은 보, 개구부가 있는 깊은 보, 코벨, 턱이진 보와 같이 부재의 변형률 분포가 상당히 비선형인 콘크리트 부재의 설계에 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 고강도콘크리트를 적용한 깊은 보의 각국의 전단강도규준과 전단거동을 평가하고자 실험적 연구로 2점 단순 집중하중을 받는 고강도 RC 깊은 보 5개를 제작하여 파괴 실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 국내 B사의 기계적 정착철물을 사용하여 주인장철근의 양단부에 기계적정착을 적용하였다. 파괴 시 모든 시험체는 가력점과 지지점을 연결하는 주 경사균열이 나타났고, 주인장철근을 기계적 정착한 시험체가 90도 표준갈고리 시험체보다 파괴 시 하중 수행능력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 실험결과를 기초로 ACI 318-99 기준, ACI 318-02 부록 A STM, CSA 23.3-94 기준 및 CIRIA Guide-2의 전단설계기준을 비교 평가하였다. ACI 318-99 기준과 ACI 318-02 기준의 스트럿-타이 모델, CIRIA Guide-2는 단순스팬 깊은 보의 극한전단강도 예측 있어 10∼36%정도 낮게 안정적으로 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. ACI 318-99 기준에 의한 전단강도예측값이 표준편차가 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되었다.

Ring beam is the main anchorage zone of the tendons in the nuclear power prestressed concrete containment vessel (PCCV). Its safety is crucial and has a great influence on the overall performance of PCCV. In this paper, two half-scale ring beams were tested to investigate the mechanical performance of the anchorage zone in the PCCV under multidirectional pressure. The effect of working condition with different tension sequences was investigated. Additionally, a half axisymmetric plane model of the containment was established by the finite element simulation to further predict the experimental responses and propose the local reinforcement design in the anchorage zone of the ring beam. The results showed that the ultimate load of the specimens under both working conditions was greater than the nominal ultimate tensile force. The original reinforcement design could meet the bearing capacity requirements, but there was still room for optimization. The ring beam was generally under pressure in the anchorage area, while the splitting force appeared in the under-anchor area, and the spalling force appeared in the corner area of the tooth block, which could be targeted for local strengthening design.
