Nuclear containment structure is the last barrier for being secure from any nuclear power plant accident. Even though the safety requirements of nuclear power plant have been focused on removing accidental situations, nuclear containment structure must reserve the sufficient resisting capacity to any accident because it works as the last barrier. The acceptable nuclear containment structure makes possible to limit the effect of internal accidents and to avoid radioactive release. In this study, to conduct the numerical analysis for the structural safety of a containment structure, loss of coolant accident (LOCA) is considered as the basic accidental load, and Wolsong containment structure is considered as a target structure. The CANDU containment structure, such as Wolsong containment structure, is a prestressed concrete shell structure which has dome and is reinforced with bonded tendons. The evaluation of ultimate pressure capacity was conducted by nonlinear analysis of a prestressed concrete containment structure.

본 연구에서는 대표적인 원위치현장시험인 CPT의 콘관입치 $q_c$ 값을 이용하여 말뚝의 극한수평단위지지력과 극한수평지지력을 산정하는 예측식들을 제안하고, 검증하였다. 일반적으로 기존 극한수평단위지지력과 극한수평지지력은 사질토지반에서 중요한 요소인 상대밀도, 연직응력, 그리고 다양한 토압계수들에 대한 함수로 표현하여 왔다. 하지만 이들은 수평음력에 대한 영향을 고려하지 않았으며, 말뚝 주변지반이 단 일층으로 구성되어 있다고 가정하여 실제 현장에서의 영향을 고려하지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 영향을 고려할 수 있는 CPT 결과를 이용한 극한수평단위지지력 산정식과 극한수평지지력을 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이는 순수사질토에 대상으로 하고 있으며, 그에 대한 해석을 위해 적합한 대상지반을 대상으로 제안된 산정식의 신뢰성을 확보하였다.

Critical surcharge value of silt ground polluted with garbage leachate to the dyes $q_{cr}=3.73c_u$ and ultimate bearing capacity value $q_{ult}=8.60c_u$. Lateral flow pressure at polluted silt ground was about $P_{max}$/3 and depth of maximum lateral flow pressure was found at that of H/3 of soft layer thickness(H). Expression of polluted silt ground of fracture baseline at stability control charge by Matsuo Kawamura is $S_v=3.56\exp\{0.51(Y_m/S_v)\}$.

This paper describes the nonlinear analyses of a 1:4 scale model of a prestressed concrete containment vessel (PCCV) using an axisymmetric model and a three-dimensional model. These two models are refined by comparison of the analysis results and with testing results. This paper is especially focused on the analysis of behavior under pressure and the temperature effects revealed using an axisymmetric model. The temperature-dependent degradation properties of concrete and steel are considered. Both geometric and material nonlinearities, including thermal effects, are also addressed in the analyses. The Menetrey and Willam (1995) concrete constitutive model with non-associated flow potential is adopted for this study. This study includes the results of the predicted thermal and mechanical behaviors of the PCCV subject to high temperature loading and internal pressure at the same time. To find the effect of high temperature accident conditions on the ultimate capacity of the liner plate, reinforcement, prestressing tendon and concrete, two kinds of analyses are performed: one for pressure only and the other for pressure with temperature. The results from the test on pressurization, analysis for pressure only, and analyses considering pressure with temperatures are compared with one another. The analysis results show that the temperature directly affects the behavior of the liner plate, but has little impact on the ultimate pressure capacity of the PCCV.

This paper describes the finite element (FE) analysis results of a 1/4 scale model of a prestressed concrete containment vessel (PCCV) by considering the tension stiffening effect, which is a result of the bond effect between the concrete and the steel. The tension stiffening model is assumed to be an exponential form based on the relationship between the average stress and the average strain of the concrete. The objective of the present FE analysis is to evaluate the ultimate internal pressure capacity of the PCCV, as well as its failure mechanism, when the PCCV model is subjected to a monotonous internal pressure beyond is design pressure capacity. With the commercial code ABAQUS, the FE analysis used two concrete failure criteria: a 2-dimensional axi-symmetric model with modified Drucker-Prager failure criteria and a 3-dimensional model with a damaged plasticity mod디. The results of our FE analysis on the ultimate pressure capacity and failure modes of PCCV have a good agreement with the experimental data.

In the areas highly exposed to earthquakes, concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFSTCs) are known to provide superior structural aspects such as (i) high strength for good seismic performance (ii) high ductility (iii) enhanced energy absorption (iv) confining pressure to concrete, (v) high section modulus, etc. Numerous studies were reported on behavior of CFSTCs under axial compression loadings. This paper presents an analytical model to predict ultimate load capacity of CFSTCs with circular sections under axial load by using multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). MARS is a nonlinear and non-parametric regression methodology. After careful study of literature, 150 comprehensive experimental data presented in the previous studies were examined to prepare a data set and the dependent variables such as geometrical and mechanical properties of circular CFST system have been identified. Basically, MARS model establishes a relation between predictors and dependent variables. Separate regression lines can be formed through the concept of divide and conquers strategy. About 70% of the consolidated data has been used for development of model and the rest of the data has been used for validation of the model. Proper care has been taken such that the input data consists of all ranges of variables. From the studies, it is noted that the predicted ultimate axial load capacity of CFSTCs is found to match with the corresponding experimental observations of literature.

Through the recent accident, the checking of ultimate hull girder capacity for container ship should be needed. Smith’s method is well known as the only simplified method to access rapidly for ultimate hull girder capacity except very expensive nonlinear F.E approach. This simplified method, however, is admitted to apply only to bulker and tanker in accordance with Classification Rules up to now. The targets of this study are to verify effectiveness of the simplified method for container ship’s ultimate hull girder strength and to propose the safety factor considering the local bending in double bottom structures due to out of plane loads through the nonlinear F.E analyses. Two different sized ships and three loading conditions which are pure bending, homo-loading and one-bay empty condition were used for this study. Based on the F.E results, the present study showed that CSR’s simplified method is available for the ultimate hull girder strength of container ship and over 1.2 of safety factor should be applied to consider the local bending effect in double bottom structures due to out of plane loads such as sea pressure an cargo.

This paper numerically investigated the behavior of built-up square concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns under combined preload and axial compression. The finite element (FE) models of target columns were verified in terms of failure mode, axial load-deformation curve and ultimate strength. A full-range analysis on the axial load-deformation response as well as the interaction behavior was conducted to reveal the composite mechanism. The parametric study was performed to investigate the influences of material strengths and geometric sizes. Subsequently, influence of construction preload on the full-range behavior and confinement effect was investigated. Numerical results indicate that the axial load-deformation curve can be divided into four working stages where the contact pressure of curling rib arc gradually disappears as the steel tube buckles; increasing width-to-thickness (B/t) ratio can enhance the strength enhancement index (e.g., an increment of 1.88% from B/t=40 to B/t=100), though ultimate strength and ductility are decreased; stiffener length and lip inclination angle display a slight influence on strength enhancement index and ductility; construction preload can degrade the plastic deformation capacity and postpone the origin appearance of contact pressure, thus making a decrease of 14.81%~27.23% in ductility. Finally, a revised equation for determining strain εscy corresponding to ultimate strength was proposed to evaluate the plastic deformation capacity of built-up square CFST columns.

선체의 갑판부와 선저부 그리고 해양구조물의 기본적인 구조는 보강판이다. 보강판넬은 한쪽방향으로 위치한 보강재 혹은 종/횡 방향으로 복잡하게 위치한 구조를 이루고 있으며, 후자의 모델을 그릴리지 구조라고 부른다 선체구조설계 단계에서 선박의 종강도 평가는 가장 중요한 항목이다. 일반적으로, 극심한 해상상태에 놓인 선박의 선저부에는 호깅조건에 의해 발생되는 횡모멘트에 기인하여 압축하중이 작용하게 되며, 이와 동시에 수압하중 작용으로 인한 국부휭모멘트가 작용된다. 본 논문에서는, 구조해석 결과의 검증을 위해서 여러 가지 해석프로그램 및 현재 사용되고 있는 선급룰과의 비교를 하여 횡하중의 영향에 따른 압축최종강도에 대해 분석하고, 여러 가지 설계변수를 변화하여, 각각의 영향을 검토하고, 최종적으로 조합하중 조건에서의 횡하중의 영향에 대해서 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과들은 최종한계상태설계법에 기반을 두고, 조합하중이 작용하는 선체보강판의 구조강도 거동에 대해서 하중성분에 대한 관계를 고찰하였다.
