For shield TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) tunnel lining, the segment joint is the most critical component for determining the mechanical response of the complete lining ring. To investigate the mechanical behavior of the segment joint in a water conveyance tunnel, which is different from the vehicle tunnel because of the external loads and the high internal water pressure during the tunnel's service life, full-scale joint tests were conducted. The main advantage of the joint tests over previous ones was the definiteness of the loads applied to the joints using a unique testing facility and the acquisition of the mechanical behavior of actual joints. Furthermore, based on the test results and the theoretical analysis, a mechanical model of segment joints has been proposed, which consists of all important influencing factors, including the elastic-plastic behavior of concrete, the pre-tightening force of the bolts and the deformations of all joint components, i.e., concrete blocks, bolts and cast iron panels. Finally, the proposed mechanical model of segment joints has been verified by the aforementioned full-scale joint tests.

This paper presents a detailed parametric study, conducted using finite element tools to cover a range of several geometric and material parameters, on the behaviour of thin-walled partially encased composite (PEC) columns. The PEC columns studied herein are composed of thin-walled built-up H-shaped steel sections with concrete infill cast between the flanges. Transverse links are provided between the opposing flanges to improve resistance to local buckling. The parametric study is confined to eccentrically-loaded columns subjected to major axis bending only. The parameters that were varied include the overall column slenderness ratio (L/d), load eccentricity ratio (e/d), link spacing-to-depth ratio (s/d), flange plate slenderness ratio (b/t) and concrete compressive strength ($f_{cu}$). The overall column slenderness ratio was chosen to be the primary variable with values of 5, 10 and 15. Other parameters were varied within each case of L/d ratio. The effects of the selected parameters on the behaviour of PEC columns were studied with respect to the failure mode, peak axial load, axial load versus average axial strain response, axial load versus lateral displacement response, moment versus lateral displacement behaviour and the axial load-moment interaction diagram. The results of the parametric study are presented in the paper and the influences of each of the parameters investigated are discussed.

In this paper, the effect of different steel bar configurations on the quasi-static punching and impact response of concrete slabs was studied. A total of forty RC square slab specimens were cast in two groups of concrete strengths of 40 and 63 MPa. In each group of twenty specimens, ten specimens were reinforced at the back face (singly reinforced), and the remaining specimens were reinforced on both faces of the slab (doubly reinforced). Two rebar spacing of 25 and 100 mm, with constant reinforcement ratio and effective depth, were used in both singly and doubly reinforced slab specimens. The specimens were tested against the normal impact of cylindrical projectiles of hemispherical nose shape. Slabs were also quasi-statically tested in punching using the same projectile, which was employed for the impact testing. The experimental response illustrates that 25 mm spaced rebars are effective in (i) decreasing the local damage and overall penetration depth, (ii) increasing the absorption of impact energy, and (iii) enhancing the ballistic limit of RC slabs. The ballistic limit was predicted using the quasi-static punching test results of slab specimens showing a strong correlation between the dynamic perforation energy and the energy required for quasi-static perforation of slabs.

In this study, the experiment was conducted in the level of mortar as one of the basic studies on pre-cast concrete which acceleration curing is not done. This study has the purpose to develop the strength of mortar into 20MPa within 6 hours in the condition of room temperature using admixtures which can accelerate C3S hydration reaction. In this experiment, W/C was fixed into 20%, PCE which can stimulate C3S was used as an accelerating admixture. From the results of this experiment, maximum content of accelerating admixture was 1%. Also, as more than 20MPa was measured through 6-hour compressive strength, it can be known that strength can be developed without steam-curing.

These brief studies and reports of the use of exposed aggrigate precast concrete in practice are combined with a description of some notable co-ordination such as shop drawing, manufacturing and erection in the field construction. Above mentioned exposed aggrigate P. C. means architectural P. C. which was used to the VOTRAKON site in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fabricated P. C. on the site without autoclaving and steam curing plant had been successfully carried out on this project-core building, conference room and others. The project designed by HOPE/VTN international INC. which is located in San Diego, California U.S.A. stands for vocational training and related support facilities contract. We had to submit shop drawings showing complete information for fabrication and installation of P. C. unit reinforcement. Also we should be indicated member dimension and cross section, location size and type of necessary for erection. We can delineate the following characteristic results. One of the most important things how to handle exposed aggrigate P.C. unit as specified was quality assurance and co-ordination for shop drawing, manufacturing and erection.

최근, 건물의 자중을 저감시킴으로서 시공성을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 중공 PC슬래브에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 국내에서 생산되는 대표적인 중공 PC슬래브인 HCS는 생산방식 특성상 전단보강근의 배근이 어렵기 때문에 안전성 및 사용성 측면에서 문제가 제기되고 있다. 이와 같은 측면에서, 최근 새로운 형태의 부분 PC 슬래브 시스템인 Tripple Ribs Slab (TRS)가 개발되었다. TRS는 전단보강근의 배근이 가능한 하프PC형 중공슬래브이다. 본 연구에서는 TRS의 전단성능을 검토하기 위해 전단실험을 진행하였다. 시공단계별로 형성되는 단면조건에 대하여 비대칭 1점 가력으로 실험하였으며 실험결과 강도를 기준 식들과 비교하였다. 실험에서의 변수는 CIP 유무와 래티스바의 유무 또는 래티스바의 종류이다. 실험으로부터, TRS는 설계하중을 충분히 지지할 수 있는 전단성능을 가지고 있으며 실험체의 강도는 국내콘크리트구조기준에서 제시하는 일반식으로 적절하게 예측될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. CIP가 타설되지 않은 시공단계에서는 래티스바의 기여도가 현저히 낮기 때문에 래티스바의 전단강도를 제외하고 설계하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of vertical ground motion (VGM) on seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) regular frame with construction joints, and determine more proper modeling method for cast-in-situ RC frame. The four-story RC frames in the regions of 7, 8 and 9 earthquake intensity were analyzed with nonlinear dynamic time-history method. Two different methods of ground motion input, horizontal ground motion (HGM) input only, VGM and HGM input simultaneously were performed. Seismic responses in terms of the maximum vertex displacement, the maximum inter-story drift distribution and the plastic hinge distribution were analyzed. The results show that VGM might increase or decrease the horizontal maximum vertex displacement depending on the value of axial load ratio of column. And it will increase the maximum inter-story drift and change its distribution. Finally, proper modeling method is proposed according to the distribution of plastic hinges, which is in well agreement with the actual earthquake damage.

In this paper, structural analysis of High-Speed railway vertical tunnel structures was performed to verify the structural stability. The corrugated steel plate method was applied to the vertical tunnel structures for its simple construction method and low cost. The structural stability of Wall, Connection and Storage section was performed with LRFD and ASD design method at joint part, buckling, stress and plastic hinge. From the results, all of vertical tunnel structures shown the structural stability regardless of design method and structure types. So, the application of corrugated steel plate in vertical tunnel structures instead of cast-in-placed concrete was quite enough.

In Top-Down construction for underground structures, the placement of slab as a horizontal supporting member against lateral earth pressure is an important process in determining construction time and cost. Usually, a reinforced concrete perimeter girder distributes concentrated lateral loads from earth retaining structures such as Cast-in-place (CIP) piles. By combining the function of the R/C perimeter girder and horizontal slabs, the Opened Slab Method is efficient for reducing construction time by elimination of time-consuming formwork for traditional perimeter girders. The structural performance of the method is also discussed in this paper.

본 논문에서는 습식스프레이 공법에 의하여 타설되는 고인성 섬유보강 모르타르(ECC)을 구조물의 보수에 적용함으로써 구조물의 내구성을 증진시키는 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 굳지않은 상태에서는 스프레이 공정에 적합한 유동특성을 갖고 있으면서, 굳은 후에는 인장변형경화거동을 나타내는 ECC를 스프레이 공법으로 타설하여 시험체를 제작하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과, 스프레이된 ECC의 역학적 특성(인장 및 휨거동)이 일반적인 타설법에 의하여 제작된 ECC와 거의 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 때에 ECC의 균열폭은 평균 30${\mu}m$로 제어되었다. 구콘크리트/ECC 합성보의 에너지 흡수능력은 구콘크리트/상용 스프레이 모르타르(PM) 합성보에 비하여 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 경계면의 부착성능도 양호한 것으로 평가되었다. ECC 고유의 균열제어능력과 더불어 보수된 부재(구콘크리트/ECC 합성보)의 탁월한 휨변형능력, 에너지 흡수능력 등은 구조물의 내구성을 증진하는데 큰 이점으로 작용하게 될 것이다.
