A model experiment with a scale of 1:150 has been conducted to investigate the dynamic responses of a freestanding four-column bridge tower subjected to regular wave, random wave and coupled wave-current actions. The base shear forces of the caisson foundation and the dynamic behaviors of the superstructure were measured and analyzed. The comparisons of the test values with the theoretical values shows that wave-induced base shear forces on the bridge caisson foundation can be approximated by using a wave force calculation method in which the structure is assumed to be fixed and rigid. Although the mean square errors of the base shear forces excited by joint random wave and current actions are approximately equal to those excited by pure random waves, the existence of a forward current increases the forward base shear forces and decreases the backward base shear forces. The tower top displacements excited by wave-currents are similar to those excited by waves, suggesting that a current does not significantly affect the dynamic responses of the superstructure of the bridge tower. The experiment results can be used as a reference for similar engineering design.

Steel shear walls are used to strengthen steel and concrete structures. One such system is Partial Attached Steel Shear Walls (PASSW), which are only connected to frame beams. This system offers both structural and architectural advantages. This study first calibrated the numerical model of RC frames with and without PASSW using an experimental sample. The seismic performance of the RC frame was evaluated by 30 non-linear static analyses, which considered stiffness, ductility, lateral strength, and energy dissipation, to investigate the effect of PASSW width and column axial load. Based on numerical results and a curve fitting technique, a lateral stiffness equation was developed for frames equipped with PASSW. The effect of the shear wall location on the concrete frame was evaluated through eight analyses. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed to investigate the effect of the shear wall on maximum frame displacement using three earthquake records. The results revealed that if PASSW is designed with appropriate stiffness, it can increase the energy dissipation and ductility of the frame by 2 and 1.2 times, respectively. The stiffness and strength of the frame are greatly influenced by PASSW, while axial force has the most significant negative impact on energy dissipation. Furthermore, the location of PASSW does not affect the frame's behavior, and it is possible to have large openings in the frame bay.

최근 몇 년간 보-기둥 접합부에 영향을 줄 수 있는 경사기둥을 포함한 비정형 구조 시스템을 가진 초고층 빌딩이 증가하고 있다. 경사기둥-보 접합부에 외력이 작용 시 전단과 휨 모멘트의 분포가 정형화된 보-기둥 접합부와 상이하여 접합부의 파괴모드, 전단강도, 연성능력 및 에너지소산능력이 변화할 가능성이 크다. 이 연구에서는 6개의 철근콘크리트 경사기둥-보 접합부($90^{\circ}$, $67.5^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$) 실험을 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면 경사기둥-보 접합부에서 비대칭 파괴가 발생하였으며 수직기둥-보 접합부에 비해서 최대하중과 에너지소산능력이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 경사기둥으로 인해 발생되는 접합부의 상이한 모멘트 분포와 압축력만 받는 수직기둥과 다르게 경사기둥이 압축력뿐 아니라 인장력도 작용하기 때문이다.

In this study, a computer program to predict the behavior of laterally loaded single pile and pile groups was developed by using a beam-column analysis in which the soils are modeled as nonlinear springs by a family of p-y curves for subgrade modulus. The special attention was given to the lateral displacement of a single pile and pile groups due to the soil condition and the cap rigidity. The analysis considering group effect was carried out for $2{\times}2$ and $3{\times}3$ pile groups with the pile spacing 3.0B, 4.0B and 5.0B. Based on the results obtained, it is found that the overall distributions of deflection, slope, moment, and shear force in a single pile give a reasonable results irrespective of cap connectivity conditions. It is also found that even though there are some deviations in deflection prediction compared with the observed ones, the prediction by present analysis simulates much better the general trend observed by the centrifuge tests than the numerical solution predicted by PIGLET.

Open ground story (OGS) reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are vulnerable to the complete collapse or severe damages under seismic actions. This study investigates the effectiveness of four different strengthening techniques representing the local and global modifications to improve the seismic performance of a non-ductile RC OGS frame. Steel caging and concrete jacketing methods of column strengthening are considered as the local modification techniques, whereas steel bracing and RC shear wall systems are selected as the global strengthening techniques in this study. Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) approach relying on energy-balance concept has been adopted to determine the required design force demand on the strengthening elements. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are carried out on the numerical models of study frames to assess the effectiveness of selected strengthening techniques in improving the seismic performance of OGS frame.. Strengthening techniques based on steel braces and RC shear wall significantly reduced the peak interstory drift response of the OGS frame. However, the peak floor acceleration of these strengthened frames is amplified by more than 2.5 times as compared to that of unstrengthened frame. Steel caging technique of column strengthening resulted in a reasonable reduction in the peak interstory drift response without substantial amplification in peak floor acceleration of the OSG frame.

The building sector has seen a huge increase in the use of lightweight concrete recently, which might result in saving in both cost and time. As a result, the study has been done on various types of concrete, including lightweight (LC), heavyweight (HC), and ordinary concrete (OC), to understand how they react to earthquake loads. The comparisons between their responses have also been taken into account in order to acquire the optimal reaction for various materials in building work. The findings demonstrate that LWC building models are more earthquake-resistant than the other varieties due to the reduction in building weight which can be a curial factor in the resistance of earthquake forces. Another crucial factor that was taken into study is the combination of various types of concrete [HC, LC, and OC] in the structural components. On the other hand, the bending moments and shear forces of LC had reduced to 17% and 19%, respectively, when compared to OC. Otherwise, the bending moment and shear force demand responses in the HC model reach their maximum values by more than 34% compared to the reference model OC. In addition, the results show that the LCC-OCR (light concrete column and ordinary concrete roof) and OCC-LCR (ordinary concrete for the column and light concrete for the roof) models' responses have fewer values than the other types.

This paper presents a more general model for T-shaped combined footings that support two columns aligned on a longitudinal axis and each column provides an axial load and two orthogonal moments. This model can be applied to the following conditions: (1) without restrictions on its sides, (2) a restricted side and (3) two opposite sides restricted. This model considers the linear soil pressure. The recently published works have been developed for a restricted side and for two opposite sides restricted by Luévanos-Rojas et al. (2018a, b). The current model considers the uniform pressure distribution because the position of the resultant force coincides with the center of gravity of the surface of the footing in contact with the soil in direction of the longitudinal axis where the columns are located. This paper shows three numerical examples. Example 1 is for a T-shaped combined footing with a limited side (one column is located on the property boundary). Example 2 is for a T-shaped combined footing with two limited opposite sides (the two columns are located on the property boundary). Example 3 is for a T-shaped combined footing with two limited opposite sides, one column is located in the center of the width of the upper flange (b₁/2=L₁), and other column is located at a distance half the width of the strip from the free end of the footing (b₂/2=b-L₁-L). The main advantage of this work over other works is that this model can be applied to T-shaped combined footings without restrictions on its sides, a restricted side and two opposite sides restricted. It also shows the deficiencies of the current model over the new model.

SC 합성기둥은 H형강 플랜지 사이에 후프를 용접하고, 플랜지 사이의 공간에 콘크리트가 채워진 새로운 합성기둥 시스템이다. 본 연구의 전단계로서 SC 합성기둥의 압축, 휨, 전단 실험을 통하여 SC 합성 기둥의 우수한 구조적인 거동을 확인하였다. 그러나 기둥은 특성상 축력과 휨을 동시에 받고 있기 때문에 SC 합성기둥에 축력과 휨이 작용할 경우에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 축력을 받고 있는 SC 합성기둥의 휨 내력을 내부 콘크리트의 충전 유무, 후프와 스터드 볼트의 사용 유무, 축력의 크기를 변수로 하여 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 SC 합성 기둥은순철골 기둥에 비하여 최대 내력은 약 33%~42% 정도. 연성 능력은 약 33%~63% 정도의 증가 효과를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 국내 $\ulcorner$강구조 한계상태 설계기준$\lrcorner$으로 평가된 SC 합성기둥의 휨 내력은 Eurocode-4, 일본 기준식에 비해 상당히 안전측으로 제시되고 있고, 축력이커질수록 실험에 의한 최대 내력이 국내 기준식과 차이가 커져 추후 SC 합성기둥 내력산정은 Eurocode-4 식을 반영하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

A new generalized Bernoulli/Timoshenko beam-column element on a two-parameter elastic foundation is presented herein. This element is based on the exact solution of the differential equation which describes the deflection of the axially loaded beam resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation, and can take into account shear deformations, semi - rigid connections, and rigid offsets. The equations of equilibrium are formulated for the deformed configuration, so as to account for axial force effects. Apart from the stiffness matrix, load vectors for uniform load and non-uniform temperature variation are also formulated. The efficiency and usefulness of the new element in reinforced concrete or steel structures analysis is demonstrated by two examples.
