Following an internal column failure, adjacent double-span beams above the failed column will play a critical role in the load transfer and internal force redistribution within the remaining structure, and the span-to-depth ratios of double-span beams significantly influence the structural resistance capacity against progressive collapse. Most existing studies have focused on the collapse-resistant performances of single-story symmetric structures, whereas limited published works are available on the collapse resistances of multi-story steel frames with unequal spans. To this end, in this study, numerical models based on shell elements were employed to investigate the structural behavior of multi-story steel frames with unequal spans. The simulation models were validated using the previous experimental results obtained for single- and two-story steel frames, and the load-displacement responses and internal force development of unequal-span three-story steel frames under three cases were comprehensively analyzed. In addition, the specific contributions of the different mechanism resistances of unequal-span, double-span beams of each story were separated quantitatively using the energy equilibrium theory, with an aim to gain a deeper level of understanding of the load-resistance mechanisms in the unequal-span steel frames. The results showed that the axial and flexural mechanism resistances were determined by the span ratio and linear stiffness ratio of double-span beams, respectively.

선단 확장식 소일네일링 공법의 특징은 천공홀보다 큰 직경의 특수 비트로 공저 30cm 정도를 확장하고, 천공직경보다 큰 쐐기형 몸체를 접어서 공저에 삽입한 다음, 쐐기형 몸체를 펼쳐 공벽에 밀착되도록 한 후 그 주위를 그라우팅하고 지반에 정착시키는 공법이다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 공법의 효과를 입증하기 위해 길이 1,300mm, 폭 1,000mm, 높이 1,100mm의 토조에 모형지반을 조성한 후 인발 및 하중재하실험을 실시하였고, 동일한 실험조건으로 일반 소일네일링과 비교하였다. 선단 확장식 네일링이 일반 네일링 공법에 비하여 인발력은 23% 정도 증가하였으며, 벽체의 수평변위는 $1.2{\sim}9.1%$ 정도 감소하였다. 또한 네일에 작용하는 축력은 선단 확장식은 7tonf, 일반 네일은 5tonf이후에서 크게 증가하였으며, 축인장 변형율 분석결과 예상 파괴선이 변체로부터 먼거리에 선단 확장식이 위치하고 있음을 확인하였다. 이들 결과로부터 선단 확장식 네일링이 일반적인 소일네일링 공법에 비하여 보강효과 면에서 우수한 공법임을 입증하였다.

Low cyclic loading tests are conducted on the steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) column-steel (S) beam composite frame joints. This research aims to evaluate the earthquake damage performance of composite frame joints by performing cyclic loading tests on eight specimens. The experimental failure process and failure modes, load-displacement hysteresis curves, characteristic loads and displacements, and ductility of the composite frame joints are presented and analyzed, which shows that the composite frame joints demonstrate good seismic performance. On the basis of this finding, seismic damage performance is examined by using the maximum displacement, energy absorbed in the hysteresis loops and Park-Ang model. However, the result of this analysis is inconsistent with the test failure process. Therefore, this paper proposes a modified Park-Ang seismic damage model that is based on maximum deformation and cumulative energy dissipation, and corrected by combination coefficient ${\alpha}$. Meanwhile, the effects of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage and axial compression ratio on the seismic damage performance are analyzed comprehensively. Moreover, lateral displacement angle is used as the quantification index of the seismic performance level of joints. Considering the experimental study, the seismic performance level of composite frame joints is divided into five classes of normal use, temporary use, repair after use, life safety and collapse prevention. On this basis, the corresponding relationships among seismic damage degrees, seismic performance level and quantitative index are also established in this paper. The conclusions can provide a reference for the seismic performance design of composite frame joints.

This paper proposes strain-based acceptance criteria for assessing plastic instability of the safety class 1 nuclear components made of ferritic steel during level D service loads. The strain-based criteria were proposed with two approaches: (1) a section average approach and (2) a critical location approach. Both approaches were based on the damage initiation point corresponding to the maximum load-carrying capability point instead of the fracture point via tensile tests and finite element analysis (FEA) for the notched specimen under uni-axial tensile loading. The two proposed criteria were reviewed from the viewpoint of design practice and philosophy to select a more appropriate criterion. As a result of the review, it was found that the section average approach is more appropriate than the critical location approach from the viewpoint of design practice and philosophy. Finally, the criterion based on the section average approach was applied to a simplified reactor pressure vessel (RPV) outlet nozzle subject to SSE loads. The application shows that the strain-based acceptance criteria can consider cumulative damages caused by the sequential loads unlike the stress-based acceptance criteria and can reduce the overconservatism of the stress-based acceptance criteria, which often occurs for level D service loads.

Sling exercise treatment(S-E-T) is a therapeutic exercise based on scientific studies for the purpose of treating musculoskeletal or neurological disorders thereby improving strength, endurance, and skills for sensory-motor integration. Exercise resistance and intensity can be modified in various ways by changing the length of rope, patient position, therapist's manual resistance, and using elastic rope. The therapist can also progress to successively higher levels of exercise resistance and intensity by changing the position of the hanging point: the subject of this article. In brief, there are three axial components in S-E-T; hanging point, motor axis, and suspension point. The hanging point can be changed in several ways in relation to the joint; axial, superior, inferior, medial, and posterior hanging points. The position of the hanging point affects the amount of load on agonist and antagonist muscles as well as on the range of motion. To create an advanced exercise program, selection of hanging point can be two-dimensional such as superior-lateral or anterior-medial. Therapists, therefore, can freely but carefully select the best hanging point based on the purpose of the exercise and their level of knowledge in S-E-T.

This paper aims to study the compressive behavior of circular hollow and concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns under simulated marine atmospheric corrosion. The specimens after salt spray corrosion were tested under axial compressive load. Steel grade and corrosion level were mainly considered in the study. The mechanical behavior of circular CFST specimens is compared with that of the corresponding hollow ones. Design methods for circular hollow and concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns are modified to consider the effect of marine atmospheric corrosion. The results show that linear fitting curves could be used to present the relationship between corrosion rate and the mechanical properties of steel after simulated marine atmospheric corrosion. The ultimate strength of hollow steel tubular and CFST columns decrease with the increase of corrosion rate while the ultimate displacement of those are hardly affected by corrosion rate. Increasing corrosion rate would change the failure of CFST stub column from ductile failure to brittle failure. Corrosion rate would decrease the ductility indexes of CFST columns, rather than those of hollow steel tubular columns. The confinement factor ${\xi}$ of CFST columns decreases with the increase of corrosion rate while the ratio between test value and nominal value shows an opposite trend. With considering marine atmospheric corrosion, the predicted axial strength of hollow steel tubular and CFST columns by Chinese standard agree well with the tested values while the predictions by Japanese standard seem conservative.

Prediction of soil behavior should be interpreted based on the level of axial strain in the actual ground. Recently numerical methods have been carried out focus on the state of soil failure. However considered the deformation of soil the prior to failure, mostly the small strain occurring in the elastic range is considered. As a result of calculating the deformation modulus to 50% of the maximum unconfined compression strength, Deformation modulus (E50) showed a tendency to increase according to the degree of compaction by region. The Poisson's ratio during loading-unloading was 0.63, which was higher than the literature value of 0.5. For the unconfined compression test under cyclic loading for the measurement of permanent strain, the maximum compression strength was divided into four step and the test was performed by load step. Changes in permanent strain and deformation modulus were checked by the loading-unloading test for each stage. At 90% compaction, the permanent deformation of the SM sample was 0.21 mm, 0.37 mm, 0.6 mm, and 1.35 mm. The SC samples were 0.1 mm, 0.17 mm, 0.42 mm, and 1.66 mm, and the ML samples were 0.48 mm, 0.95 mm, 1.30 mm, and 1.68 mm.

실제 시공된 말뚝들의 재하시험 자료 및 매입 PHC말뚝의 설계 자료로부터 전체지지력에 대한 주면마찰력의 분담율인 SRF를 분석하였다. 현장에서 시험 시공된 말뚝의 SRF는 말뚝의 종류, 상대근입길이, 지반의 종류, 재하시험의 종류에 상관없이 42~99%이었다. 매입 PHC말뚝에 대한 설계 자료에서 구한 SRF는 말뚝의 직경, 상대근입길이에 상관없이 풍화암에 소켓된 경우 20~53%의 범위에 분포하였다. 사용말뚝으로 실제 시공된 매입 PHC말뚝에서 재항타 동재하시험 자료로부터 구한 SRF는 말뚝의 직경, 상대근입길이, 지반의 종류에 상관없이 4~83%의 범위에 분산되어 분포하였다. 사용말뚝에서 SRF가 낮은 수준으로 나타나는 이유는 매입 PHC말뚝의 주면고정액의 충전이 제대로 이루어지지 않은 채 시공된 현황으로 볼 수 있었으며 따라서 주면고정액의 시공관리에서 시급하게 개선해야 할 현황이었다. 풍화암에 소켓된 매입 PHC말뚝의 설계에서 사용하고 있는 극한지지력 산정공식으로 계산한 주면마찰력의 SRF는 실제 현장 시공 말뚝의 SRF보다 평균적으로 2.2배 정도로 낮은 수준으로 평가되었다. 이는 설계에서 사용하고 있는 산정공식에 의한 극한주면마찰력이 매우 낮은 수준으로 계산되기 때문이다. 따라서 SRF를 만족시킬 수 있는 새로운 주면마찰력 산정공식의 제안 필요성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

상판과 아치리브, 수직재로 구성된 개복식 상로 아치교는 아치리브 지점 조건과 차량 이동속도에 따라 지점에서의 축력과 모멘트의 정도가 달라진다. 또한 충격계수 정의에는 상판 변위응답뿐만 아니라 다양한 종류의 응답이 고려된다. 본 논문은 양단 고정지점 콘크리트 개복식 상로 아치교에 대해 측정 위치와 응답변수, 수직재의 간격비에 따른 충격계수를 분석하였다. 수직재 간격비가 1/9.375인 기저모델의 경우 이동하중 진입 반대 쪽 아치리브 지점에서 모멘트 기반 충격계수가 가장 큰 값을 보였으며, 이 값은 상판 중앙부 인접지간 변위응답 기반 최대 충격계수와는 비슷한 수준이지만 동일 위치에서의 축력 기반 충격계수에 비해 19% 높은 값이다. 수직재 배열에 있어서 간격비를 기저모델에 비해 1/2로 감소시켰을 경우, 모멘트 기반 최대 충격계수는 기저모델과 유사한 수준이었지만 간격비를 2배 증가시켰을 경우는 기저모델 대비 4.4배 증가하였다.

This paper presents the experimental as well as analytical study conducted on layer-bonded scrap tire rubber pad (STRP) isolators to develop low-cost seismic isolators applicable to structures in developing countries. The STRP specimen samples were produced by stacking the STRP layers one on top of another with the application of adhesive. In unbonded application, the STRP bearings were placed between the substructure and superstructure without fastening between the contact surfaces which allows roll-off of the contact supports. The vertical compression and horizontal shear tests were conducted with varying axial loads. These results were used to compute the different mechanical properties of the STRP isolators including vertical stiffness, horizontal effective stiffness, average horizontal stiffness and effective damping ratios. The load-displacement relationships of STRP isolators obtained by experimental and finite element analysis results were found to be in close agreement. The tested STRP samples show energy dissipation capacity considerably greater than the natural rubber bearings. The layer-bonded STRP isolators serve positive incremental force resisting capacity up to the shear strain level of 150%.
