This study aimed to investigate the effect of initial member length an imperfection in the load carrying capacity of double-layer domes space structures. First, for the member length imperfection of each member, a random number is generated from a normal distribution. Thereupon, the amount of the imperfection randomly varies from one member to another. Afterwards, based on the Push Down analysis, the collapse behavior and the ultimate capacity of the considered structure is determined using nonlinear analysis performed by the OpenSees software and this procedure is repeated numerous times by Monte Carlo simulation method. Finally, the reliability of structures is determined. The results show that the collapse behavior of double-layer domes space structures is highly sensitive to the random distribution of initial imperfections.

Tubular joints having a large diameter in the offshore structure are reinforced using internal ring stiffener in order to increase the load carrying capacity. In this study, the static strengths of internally ring-stiffened tubular T-joints subjected to compressive brace loading are assessed. Nonlinear finite element analyses are used to compute the behavior of unstiffened and ring-stiffened T-joints. From the numerical results, internal ring stiffener is found to efficient in improving the ultimate capacity, and reinforcement effect are calculated. The influence of geometric parameters for members and ring is evaluated. Based on the FE results, regression analysis is performed considering practical sizes of ring stiffener, finally strength estimation formulae for ring-stiffened T-joints are proposed.

선체구조는 기본적으로 판부재의 조합으로 이루어져 있으며, 이러한 판부재의 하중분담 능력 혹은 최종강도 평가는 선체구조의 합리적인 설계 및 구조의 안정성 평가에 있어서는 아주 중요하다. 또한, 선체구조를 구성하고 있는 구조요소들은 작용외력에 대하여 개별적으로 작용하지 않으며 전체적으로 연속거동을 하게 된다. 실제 선박에서의 붕괴형태 중 한가지는 종방향 굽휨에 의해서 갑판 혹은 선저부에 좌굴 및 소성붕괴이다. 그래서, 합리적인 설계에서는 이러한 급작스런 붕괴형태를 방지하기 위하여 좌굴 및 소성붕괴 거동을 파악하는 것이 아주 중요하며, 실제 선박에서는 갑판부와 선저부에서는 하중분담 능력을 증가시키기 위하여 여러개의 종보강재를 가진 보강판 구조의 설계를 하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 선체 판넬구조의 모델링 방법에 따른 최종강도 거동의 차이를 분석하여, 합리적인 모델링영역을 규명하고자 한다. 사용된 해석 모델은 실제 상선의 이중저구조에서 사용되는 판넬에서 채택하였으며 유한요소해석 모델링 시 3가지 단면형상에 대해 각각 6가지 서로 다른 해석모델을 적용하였으며, 이때 보강재의 단면형상을 변화하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 압축하중이 작용하는 선체 보강판구조에서 해석영역에 대한 좌굴 및 최종강도 거동의 특성을 분석하였다.

Nowadays aluminum stiffened plates are one of the major constituents of the marine structures, especially high-speed vessels. On one hand, these structures are subject to various forms of loading in the harsh sea environment, like hydrostatic lateral pressures and in-plane compression. On the other hand, fusion welding is often used to assemble those panels. The common marine aluminum alloys in the both 5,000 and 6,000 series, however, lose a remarkable portion of their load carrying capacity due to welding. This paper presents the results of sophisticated finite-element investigations considering both geometrical and mechanical imperfections. The tested models were those proposed by the ultimate strength committee of $15^{th}$ ISSC. The presented data illuminates the effects of welding on the strength of aluminum plates under above-mentioned load conditions.

무리말뚝의 하중지지능력에서 말뚝캡이 부담하는 비율을 파악하고 무리말뚝을 구성하는 개개 말뚝의 하중전이 특성을 알아보고자 재하시험을 수행하였다. 직경 92.5mm의 강관말뚝 24본(4개씩 6열)을 지표 아래 3m 깊이까지 근입 시컥 풍화암 상단에 말뚝선단이 위치하도록 하였다. 최대하중 320t을 지표면에 접촉되어 있는 $1.5\times2.3m$ 크기의 말뚝캡에 재하하였다. 최대 시험하중인 320t에서는 말뚝캡이 전체하중의 약 22%에 해당하는 하중을 분담하였다. 무리 말뚝 재하시험시 말뚝의 평균 극한지지력은 16.4t이며, 이 값은 말뚝캡을 타설하기 전에 무리말뚝의 모서리에 위치한 말뚝에 대하여 수행한 단말쪽 재하시험으로부터 구한 극한지지력보다 상당히 크게 나타났다. 변위장중첩 효과로 인하여 무리말뚝 중앙에 위치한 말뚝은 작은 하중이 작용하여도 외곽부의 말뚝과 같은 침하량을 기록한 것으로 나타났다. 무리말뚝에서는 주면마찰력의 분담율이 전 하중단계에서 약 60%로 일정하나 단말뚝 시험에서는 하중이 증가함에 따라 주면마찰력의 분담율이 82%에서 65%로 감소하였다.

The main aim of this research was to investigate the shear strength of non-prismatic steel fiber reinforced concrete beams under monotonic loading considering different parameters. Experimental program included tests on fifteen non-prismatic reinforced concrete beams divided into three groups. For the first and the second groups, different parameters were taken into consideration which are: steel fibers content, shear span to minimum depth ratio ($a/d_{min}$) and tapering angle (${\alpha}$). The third group was designed mainly to optimize the geometry of the non-prismatic concrete beams with the same concrete volume while the steel fiber ratio and the shear span were left constant in this group. The presence of steel fibers in concrete led to an increase in the load-carrying capacity in a range of 10.25%-103%. Also, the energy absorption capacity was increased due to the addition of steel fibers in a range of 18.17%-993.18% and the failure mode was changed from brittle to ductile. Tapering angle had a clear effect on the shear strength of test specimens. The increase in tapering angle from ($7^{\circ}$) to ($12^{\circ}$) caused an increase in the ultimate shear capacity for the test specimens. The maximum increase in ultimate load was 45.49%. The addition of steel fibers had a significant impact on the post-cracking behavior of the test specimens. Empirical equation for shear strength prediction at cracking limit state was proposed. The predicted cracking shear strength was in good agreement with the experimental findings.

As concrete wind-turbine towers are increasingly being used in wind-farm construction, there is a growing need to understand the behavior of concrete wind-turbine towers. In particular, experimental evaluations of concrete wind-turbine towers are necessary to demonstrate the dynamic characteristics and load-carrying capacity of such towers. This paper describes a model test of a prestressed concrete wind-turbine tower that examines the dynamic characteristics and load-carrying performance of the tower. Additionally, a numerical model is presented and used to verify the design approach. The test results indicate that the first natural frequency of the prestressed concrete wind turbine tower is 0.395 Hz which lies between frequencies 1P and 3P (0.25-0.51 Hz). The damper ratio is 3.3%. The maximum concrete compression stresses are less than the concrete design compression strength, the maximum tensile stresses are less than zero and the prestressed strand stresses are less than the design strength under both the serviceability and ultimate limit state loads. The maximum displacement of the tower top are 331 mm and 648 mm for the serviceability limit state and ultimate limit state, respectively, which is less than L/100 = 1000 mm. Compared with traditional tall wind-turbine steel towers, the prestressed concrete tower has better material damping properties, potential lower maintenance cost, and lower construction costs. Thus, the prestressed concrete wind-turbine tower could be an innovative engineering solution for multi-megawatt wind turbine towers, in particular those that are taller than 100 m.

본 연구는 1997년 제정된 강구조 한계상태설계법에 있어서 블록전단 설계기준식의 타당성을 규명하고 외국설계규준과 비교검토하기 위하여 인장력을 받는 H형강 플랜지의 접합부에 대한 블록전단 파단실험을 하였다. 실험결과 접합부는 대부분 인장항복-전단파단과 전단항복-인장파단에 의한 블록전단이 일어났으며 실험에 의한 블록파단하중이 기준식에 의한 내력보다 약 23% 크게 나타나 현재 기준식은 블록전단내력을 과소평가하고 있어 더 많은 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

Based on the experiment, this paper focuses on studying flexural behavior of splicing concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) tubular composite members connected with steel bars. The test results indicated the confinement effects of GFRP tubes on the concrete core in compression zone began to produce, when the load reached about $50%P_u$ ($P_u$-ultimate load), but the confinement effects in tensile zone was unobvious. In addition, the failure modes of composite members were influenced by the steel ratio of the joint. For splicing unreinforced composite members, the steel ratio more than 1.96% could satisfy the splicing requirements and the steel ratio 2.94% was ideal comparatively. For splicing reinforced specimen, the bearing capacity of specimen with 3.92% steel ratio was higher 21.4% than specimen with 2.94% steel ratio and the latter was higher 21.2% than the contrast non-splicing specimen, which indicated that the steel ratio more than 2.94% could satisfy the splicing requirements and both splicing ways used in the experiment were feasible. So, the optimal steel ratio 2.94% was suggested economically. The experimental results also indicated that the carrying capacity and ductility of splicing concrete-filled GFRP tubular composite members could be improved by setting internal longitudinal rebars.
