This paper deals with the development of a realistic shape optimization of damaged columns that are subjected to conservative and non-conservative forces, using the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The analysis is based on the design of the most optimized shape of the column under the constraint of constant weight, considering the Static, Vibrational, and Flutter characteristics. Under the action of conservative and non-conservative longitudinal forces, an elastic column loses its stability. A numerical analysis based on FEM has been performed on a uniform damaged column, to compute the fundamental buckling load, vibration frequency, and flutter load, under various end restraints. An optimization search based on the Genetic Algorithm is then executed, to find the optimal shape design of the column. The optimized column references the one having the highest buckling load, highest vibration frequency, and highest flutter load, among all the possible shapes of the column, for a given volume. A comparison is then made between the values obtained for the optimized damaged column, and those obtained for the optimized undamaged column. The comparison reveals that the incorporation of damage in the column alters its optimal shape to only a certain extent. Also, the critical load and frequency values for the optimized damaged column are comparatively low, compared with those obtained for the optimized undamaged column. However, these results hold true only for moderate-intensity damage cases. For high intensity damage, the optimal shape may not remain the same, and may vary, according to the severity of damage.

최근 도심지에 건설되는 건축물의 초고층화는 기둥에 작용하는 하중을 증가시켜 기둥단면 증가와 사용면적 확보의 어려움을 발생시키고 있다. 이에 최근에는 CFT와 같은 합성기둥의 사용이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 CFT 기둥의 경우 폐단면으로 이루어져 있어 보-기둥 접합부 개발의 어려움과 성능저하의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 특히, 원형CFT 기둥과 외다이아프램을 이용한 접합상세 개발의 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Y형 플레이트를 적용한 원형 CFT 기둥-H형강 보 접합부 접합상세를 개발하여 Y형 플레이트를 적용한 접합부 구조성능에 영향을 미치는 Y형 플레이트 폭 및 두께를 주요변수로 설정하여 실험을 통해 구조성능을 평가하였다. 또한 실험체에 사용된 Y형 플레이트는 설계기준에 제시된 장기허용인장력이 Y형 플레이트에 접합된 인장 측 플랜지의 축방향력 이하가 되도록 설계하여 파괴형태를 통해 Y형 플레이트의 구조적 안전성과 성능을 확인하고자 한다.

In the present study, a numerical analysis was performed for interior connections of continuous flat plate to analyze the effect of column section shape on the behavioral characteristics of the connections. For the purpose, a computer program for nonlinear FE analysis was developed, and the validity was verified. Through the parametric study, the variations of shear stress distribution around the connection were investigated. According to the result of numerical analysis, the column section shape has a serious effect on the behavior of the connections. As the length of the cross section of column in the direction of lateral load increases, the effective area and the shear strength at the sides providing the torsional resistance decrease considerably. Therefore the strength model for the flat plate-column connections should be modified by considering the effect of column section shape on the behavior of the connections.

In the present study, design methodologies for effective width of slabs in slab-column connections were evaluated in comparison with the experimental results on the full-scale slab-column connections. The design methodologies are as follows: the methodology proposed by Jacob S. Grossman and the methodology proposed by Choi & Song. The former does not predict the stiffness change of the slab-column connection due to the change in the column section shape and the latter overestimates the stiffness when edge length of the column section in the loading direction is long. Accordingly, the equation to calculate the effective width of slabs should be modified to reflect the effect of the change in the column section shape.

The behavior of moment resistant steel structures depends on both the beam-column connections and columns foundations connections. Obviously, if the connections can meet the adequate ductility and resistance against lateral loads, the seismic capacity of these structures will be linked practically to the performance of these connections. The shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been most recently used as a means of energy dissipation in buildings. The main approach adopted by researchers in the use of such alloys is firstly bracing, and secondly connecting the beams to columns. Additionally, the behavior of these alloys is modeled in software applications rarely involving equivalent torsional springs and column-foundation connections. This paper attempts to introduce the shape memory alloys and their applications in steel structural connections, proposing a new steel column-foundation connection, not merely a theoretical model but practically a realistic and applicable model in structures. Moreover, it entails the same functionality as macro modeling software based on real behavior, which can use different materials to establish a connection between the columns and foundations. In this paper, the suggested steel column-foundation connection was introduced. Moreover, exploring the seismic dynamic behavior under cyclic loading protocols and the famous earthquake records with different materials such as steel and interconnection equipment by superelastic shape memory alloys have been investigated. Then, the results were compared to demonstrate that such connections are ideal against the seismic behavior and energy dissipation.

This research was conducted to study the behavior of exterior concrete beam-column joints with reinforced shape memory alloy (SMA) bars tested under cyclic loading. These bars benefit from superelastic behavior and can stand high loads without residual strains. The experimental part of the study, 8 specimens of exterior concrete beam-column joints were made and tested. Two different types of concrete with 30 and 45 MPa were used. Four specimens contained SMA bars and 4 specimens contained steel bars in beam-column joints. Furthermore, different transverse reinforcements were used in beams investigate the effects of concrete confinement. Specimens were tested under cyclic loading. Results show that SMA bars are capable of recentering to their original shape after standing large displacements. Due to the superelastic behavior of SMA bars, cracks at the joint core vanish under cyclic loading. As the cyclic loading increased, bending failure occurred in the beam outside the joint core. In the analytical parts of the study, specimens were simulated using the SeismoStruct software. Experimental and analytical results showed a satisfactory correlation. Plastic hinge length at the beam joint for specimens with SMA and steel bars was calculated by empirical equations, experimental and analytical results. It was shown that Paulay's and Priestley's equations are appropriate for concrete beam-column joints in both types of bars.

이 연구에서는 y형강판과 L형강으로 기둥의 외부를 구성하고 내부에 콘크리트를 타설하여 완성하는 yLRC (Reinforced Concrete with y-shape steel sheets and L-shape steel angles) 합성기둥에 대한 기초적인 실험을 수행하였다. yLRC 합성기둥은 철골과 콘크리트의 합성작용으로 단면성능이 우수하고, 거푸집 공사와 배근 공사를 생략할 수 있으므로 공기단축과 시공성 향상에도 상당한 효과를 나타낼 것으로 예상된다. L형강의 폭-두께비가 압축강도에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해서 L형강의 폭-두께비를 실험변수로 하는 6개의 실험체 (축소실험체 3개 및 실대실험체 3개)를 제작하고, 이 실험체에 대하여 중심축하중 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 yLRC 합성기둥의 압축거동 및 압축강도에 대한 역학적인 특성을 분석하였다.

최근 시공적, 계획적 측면에서 많은 장점을 가지는 무량판 구조형식이 고층주거건물의 구조형식으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 특히 국내에서 건설되고 있는 무량판 구조시스템은 횡력에 대한 저항성을 크게 하기 위하여 기둥의 단면이 매우 큰 직사각형 형태를 가지는 벽기둥을 사용하는 경우가 많으므로 구조해석을 위한 강성산정시 이러한 기둥의 형태적 요소를 적절히 반영해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 무량판 시스템 강성산정에 가장 일반적으로 이용되는 유효보폭산정법을 실험연구와 수치해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 유효보폭식을 사용하여 무량판 구조시스템의 강성을 산정할 경우, 하중가력방향 기둥폭이 큰 경우에 있어서 시스템의 강성을 과대평가하며 기둥형태에 따른 강성평가가 합리적으로 이루어지지 못함을 밝혀내었다. 본 연구에서는 기둥단면형상에 의해 변화되는 무량판 시스템의 강성을 합리적으로 계산할 수 있도록 기존 유효보폭식을 개선하였다.

In this paper, in order to analyze dynamic characteristics of an automobile steering system consisting of many components, natural frequencies and transfer functions of each component and the total system are found on a FFT analyzer by experiments. Then, the data are transmitted to a commercial package program, CADA-PC. By analyzing the data, the mode shape of each natural frequency and damping values are obtained. Also, the function of a rubber coupling in column and telescoping effects on system are considered. C.A.E commercial programs are used to compare with the results of experiments. For the finite element modeling, I-DEAS is used. Data processing and post processing are operated on NASTRAN and XL, respectively. The ball-bearing and the linkage of shaft with column are modeled by spring element. Stiffness is modified from the results of experiments. The results of those show close agreement. In the mode shape of total system, wheel mode is dominant at lower frequency, while the column mode is main mode at higher. The role of rubber coupling in vibration isolation is clear on mode shape. Telescoping function makes natural frequency of column changed.
