During the recent years, resistance mechanisms of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings against progressive collapse are investigated extensively. Although a general agreement is observed about their qualitative behavior in technical literature, there is not such a comprehensive point of view regarding the quantitative methods for predicting collapse resistance of RC members. Therefore, in the present study a simplified theoretical method is developed in order to predict general behavior of RC frames under the column removal scenario. In the introduced method, the robustness of the frame is extracted based on the capacity of the beams. The proposed method expresses ultimate arching and catenary capacities of the beams and also obtains the corresponding vertical displacements. Based on the calculated capacities, the introduced method also provides a quantitative assessment of structural robustness and determines whether or not the collapse occurs. The capability of the method is evaluated using experimental results in the literature. The evaluation study indicates that the proposed theoretical procedure can establish a reliable foundation for progressive collapse assessment of RC frame structures.

In the last decades there have been frequent reports of oscillations of slender tension members under simultaneous action of rain and wind - characterized by large amplitudes and low frequencies. The members, e.g. cables of cable-stayed bridges, slightly inclined hangers of arch bridges or cables of guyed-masts, show a circular cross section and low damping. These rain-wind induced vibrations negatively affect the serviceability and the lifespan of the structures. The present article gives a short literature review, describes a mathematical approach for the simulation of rain-wind induced vibrations, sums up some examples to verify the calculated results and discusses measures to suppress the vibrations.

The effect of initial combined load on the lateral free vibration of arches is investigated. For the analysis, P-M interaction own for the arches are obtained. The arches are circular arches which have constant cross-section and simply supported. Also, the arches are subjected both radial uniform distributed load which results in an axial compression on the cross-section and end moments that cause uniform bending action at the same time. All analysis are performed by finite element method based on Kang and Yoo's curved beam theory.

상부 벽체와 하부 골조로 구성되는 주상복합건물은 전이층에서 수직적인 강성과 강도의 불연속성을 갖는다. 이러한 복합구조는 전이층에서 춤이 큰 보에 의하여 하중이 전달되면 설계시 매우 중요하게 고려하여야 하는 사항이다. 그러나 이에 대한 연구가 충분히 이루어져 있지 않으며 실제 전이보의 설계시 춤을 매우 크게 하여 요구되는 강도보다 큰 안전율이 고려되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전이층의 단순화모델을 이용하여 보의 높이 및 지지면의 길이에 따른 아치거동의 변화를 조사하였다. 유한요소법을 이용하여 구조물을 분석하고 두 변수를 포함하는 헌치부재를 이용하여 그 효과를 기존 시스템과 비교하였다. 중요 변수와 헌치의 기울기는 1:1의 비율에서 사장 효율이 좋은 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과를 전이보를 대신하여 사용한 결과 중력방향의 상부 아치거동에 대하여 효과적으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 응력 집중부위에서의 응력 감소와 깊이 전이보의 높이감소에 효과적으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다.

The wires for initial alignment purposes require a combination of excellent strength, excellent springiness, and a long rang of action. The variables in selecting appropriate arches for alignment are the arch wire material, its diameter, and the distance between attachments. The principle that there should be 0.02 inch clearance for initial wires means that an .016 diameter wire is the largest that should be considered for initial alignment in the .018 slot system. The three major possibilities for alignment arches are multistranded steel wires, nickel-titanium wires, and single-stranded steel wires with loops. The excellent choice for initial alignment in .018 bracket is .014 steel wire with loops.

This paper describes a proposal for crack width and deflection in RC flexural members. Because the serviceability provisions of the current codes are mainly based on only empirical relationships developed from test result and effective moment of inertia, crack width and deflections are contrary to the actual values. Based on nonlinear bond characteristics, tension stiffening effect, arch action and effective concrete tensile area. Then an equation is developed for predicting crack width and deflection in flexural members. The predicted results shows that as proposed model employed, crack width and deflections are different from estimated by the current KCI, MC 90 and EC 2 provisons, and the values predicted are in good agreement with experimentally measured values.

This paper deals with the shear deformation charateristics of concrete beams strengthened with steel/FRP Bar. Applying the shear behavioral model based on shear deformation compatibility to RC beams tested by Ahmed K. El-Sayed et al.(2006), their transverse deformation in the web are calculated at ultimated loads after decoupling the shear carried by arch action in each beams. The calculated transverse deformation at ultimated loads are nearly same for the different reinforcement ratio. From these results, the temporary transverse deformation limit criterion is deduced. Using the proposed temporary limit criterion, the shear strength of concrete beams strengthen with FRP Bar tested by Ahmed K. El-Sayed et al.(2006) is predicted. These predicted values are compared with the measured values and the results are also compared with the current ACI and JSCE equation. The proposed method predicts the ultimate shear capacities more accurately than the equation of ACI and JSCE code. The predictions by the ACI and JSCE code are founded to be very conservative.

전단보강근이 없는 보의 거동을 이해하기 위하여 서로 다른 트러스 개념으로부터 출발한 두 종류의 해석방법 및 배경이론[압축응력장(MCFT) 및 균열마찰 (CFTM)이론]을 수단으로 콘크리트 기여강도($V_c$)를 구성하는 i)압축지역의 전단응력, ii)균열면의 마찰작용, iii)주근의 장부작용, iv)아치작용 및 최근에 추가된 v)비균열 부위 잔류 인장강도의 상대적인 중요도를 물리적으로 설명하였다. 또한, 두 해석모델의 평가를 위하여, 최근 국내에서 파괴역학 개념의 크기 효과식 개발에 보다 초점을 맞추어 수행된 일련의 고강도 콘크리트보의 실험결과(20개, $f'_c$=53.7Mpa)를 예측하였다. 예측결과에 의하면, 두 해석모델은 a/d비, 주근량 및 보의 춤이 변화함에 따라 관측된 물리적 현상을 정확하게 포착하고 있었으며, 특히 MCFT로부터 얻어낸 보다 자세한 응력 및 변형도 분포 등에 관한 정보는 일련의 추가적인 설명을 가능하게 하였다. 하지만, 보다 완전한 이론적 배경을 지니고 있는 MCFT는 P4.6 및 D915의 파괴하중을 각각 다소 과소 및 과대 평가하는 경향을 나타내고 있어, 주근량 및 크기효과에 대한 보다 완전한 결론을 유도하기 위해서는 추가적인 실험적 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

This paper is to explain reasonable shear behavior that can apply usually to reinforced concrete beams on the basic concepts of existent analysis and experimental research information. This study is succession $paper^{2) 3) 4) 5)}$ of treatise announced in existing and main control variable of reinforced concrete beams with stirrups used internal force state factor($\alpha$). Shear failure of reinforced concrete beams with stirrups is Influenced greatly because of the actual geometrical shape(a/d) of the concrete and flexural reinforcement steel ratio, stirrup reinforcement ratio and concrete compression strength, size effect etc. Therefore, shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams with stirrups that flexural crack is happened can be explained easily through proper extent proposal of internal force state factor($\alpha$) that express internal force state flowing. Use existent variable truss model by analysis model to explain arch action. Also, wish to compose each failure factors and correlation with internal force state factor by function, and when diagonal cracks happens, internal force state factor($\alpha$) study whether shear stress and some effect are.

The present paper proposes a semi-empirical analytical expression that is capable of determining the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams with longitudinal bars, in the presence of reinforcing fibers and transverse stirrups. The expression is based on an evaluation of the strength contribution of beam and arch actions and it makes it possible to take their interaction with the fibers into account. For the strength contribution of stirrups, the effective stress reached at beam failure was considered by introducing an effectiveness function. This function shows the share of beam action strength contribution on the global strength of the beam calculated including the effect of fibers. The expression is calibrated on the basis of experimental data available in literature referring to fibrous reinforced concrete beams with steel fibers and recently obtained by the authors. It can also include the following variables in the strength previsions: - geometrical ratio of longitudinal bars in tension; - shear span to depth ratio; - strength of materials and fiber characteristics; - size effects. Finally, some of the more recent analytical expressions that are capable of predicting the shear strength of fibrous concrete beams, also in the presence of stirrups, are mentioned and a comparison is made with experimental data and with the results obtained by the authors.
