There can be a significant amount of moment redistribution in composite frames consisting of steel columns and composite beams, due to cracking, creep and shrinkage of concrete. Considerable amount of computational effort is required for taking into account these effects for large composite frames. A methodology has been presented in this paper for taking into account these effects. In the methodology that has been demonstrated for moderately high frames, neural network models are developed for rapid prediction of the inelastic moments (typically for 20 years, considering instantaneous cracking, and time effects, i.e., creep and shrinkage, in concrete) at a joint in a frame from the elastic moments (neglecting instantaneous cracking and time effects). The proposed models predict the inelastic moment ratios (ratio of elastic moment to inelastic moment) using eleven input parameters for interior joints and seven input parameters for exterior joints. The training and testing data sets are generated using a hybrid procedure developed by the authors. The neural network models have been validated for frames of different number of spans and storeys. The models drastically reduce the computational effort and predict the inelastic moments, with reasonable accuracy for practical purposes, from the elastic moments, that can be obtained from any of the readily available software.

High-rise buildings move during construction due to time-dependent material properties of concrete (creep and shrinkage), construction sequences, and structural shapes. The building movements, including vertical and horizontal displacements, result from the sum of axial and lateral deformation of vertical members at each level. In addition to the vertical shortenings, the lateral movement induced by differential shortening can have adverse effects on the construction tolerance and serviceability of non-structural elements such as elevators and curtain walls. In this study a construction stage analysis method is developed to predict lateral movement induced by shortening, including the effect of creep and shrinkage. The algorithm of construction stage analysis is combined with the FE analysis program. It is then applied to predict lateral movement of a 58-story reinforced concrete building that was constructed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Gravity induced lateral movement of this building is predicted by the construction stage analysis. A field three-dimensional laser scanning survey is carried out to verify the prediction results, and satisfactory agreement is obtained.

A critical review on existing creep theories in calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) is presented with an emphasis on several fundamental questions (e.g. the roles of water, relative humidity, temperature, atomic ordering of C-S-H). A consensus on the rearrangement of nanostructures of C-S-H as a main consequence of creep, has almost been achieved. However, main disagreement still exists on two basic aspects regarding creep mechanisms: (1) at which site the creep occurs, like at interlayer, intergranular, or regions where C-S-H has a relatively higher solubility; (2) how the structural rearrangement evolutes, like in a manner of interlayer sliding, intra-transfer of water at various scales, recrystallization of gelled-like particles, or dissolution-diffusion-reprecipitation at inter-particle boundary. The further understanding of creep behavior of C-S-H relies heavily on the appropriate characterization of its nanostructure.

본 논문에서는 철근콘크리트 쉘 구조물의 크리프와 건조수축에 의한 시간의존성 효과를 포함하여 해석할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였다. Degenerate 쉘 요소를 해석에 사용하였으며 층 분할 기법을 이용하였다. 콘크리트의 압축 거동 모델은 탄-소성 모델 혹은 변형율 경화 모델을 사용할 수 있도록 하였고, 인장 영역에서는 균열 발생시 까지 선형 탄성으로 가정하였다. 철근은 등가의 두께를 가지는 철근 층으로 근사되었으며 각 철근 층은 철근의 배치 방향으로만 저항하는 일축거동을 하며 응력-변형율 곡선을 두 개의 직선으로 이상화 하였다. 비선형 해석을 위해 하중 증분 기법과 반복계산 기법을 사용하였으며 시간 의존성 효과를 고려하기 위해 시간영역을 같은 간격이 아닐 수도 있는 여러 개의 구간으로 나누어 해석하였다. 몇 개의 계산 예를 제시하고 다른 연구자들의 결과와 비교하여 본 연구의 타당성을 검토하였다.

Water in concrete has an effect on properties of concrete very much, such as shrinkage, creep, fire resistance, durability, freezing and thawing resistance. Therefore predicting the moisture distribution in concrete is very important. And since the diffusion process of water in concrete is strongly dependent on the temperature and pore humidity, the process is highly nonlinear phenomena. In this study, a finite element program which was capable of simulating the moisture distribution in concrete was developed, and differential drying shrinkage due to the water diffusion process was measured at the different positions of concrete. This F.E.M. program is shown that the analytical results of this study are in good agreement with experimental data. Shrinkage strain caused by moisture distribution was increased with the decrease of pore relative humidity.

Superstructure of reinforced concrete bridges are shortened or elongated due to creep, drying shrinkage, temperature and so on. Most of bridge superstructures are free to shortening and elongation without constraint and stresses will not be induced by creep, drying shrinkage and temperature. But if bridge superstructure are constraint due to wrong setting and functional defects of bridge bearing, very large constraint forces can be induced. In this study, PSCI-Beam by tilt-constructed with constraint and deviation of bearings are presented and the effects of time-dependent constraint stress and temperature loads are investigated.

With increased height of structure, the effect of column shortening need special consideration in the design and construction of high-rise buildings. The shortening of each column affects nonstructural members such as partitions, cladding, and M/E systems, which are not designed to carry gravity forces. The slabs and beams will tilt due to the cumulative differential shortening of adeacent vertical members. The main purpose of estimating the total shortening of vertical structural member is to compensate the differential shortening between adeacent members. This paper presents effect of parameters for phenomenon of column shortening in vertical members. The paper presents effect of parameters for phenomenon of column shortening in vertical members. The conclusions obtained from this study are follow as ; Strength of concrete and steel ratio effected on column shortening caused by elastic and inelastic shortening. Also, it is known that Ultimate-shrinkage-Value, Specific-Creep-Value, and volume to surface ratio effected on inelastic shortening only. Particularly, Ultimate-Shrinkage-Value and Specific-Creep-Value effected considerable on the amount of total column shortening.

In this research, the cracking of tunnel concrete lining was investigated and analyzed through long-term measurement and nonlinear numerical analysis. For one year after the casting of lining, the stresses and strains were measured by the sensors installed in hard rock tunnel lining. The measurements showed that only small stresses which were less than cracking stress occurred in every survey sections regardless of sensor directions. It could be induced that the external load applied to the lining was small or ignorable. Also, it was carried out short-term numerical analysis based on such site condition as ambient temperature, the- degree of overbreak and mold staying period. Long-term numerical analysis based on creep & shrinkage and nonlinear cracking was carried out. The output showed that construction condition and ambient environments could make the lining concrete crack without external loads. The cracks formed in this process does not indicate the structural instability of the tunnel.

Under sustained loads, the deformation of a structure gradually increase with time and eventually may be much greater than its instantaneous value, This inelastic and time-dependent deformation causes increase in deflection and curvature, redistribution of stress and internal action, In this paper, time-dependent analysis with creep and shrinkage of uncracked and cracked partially prestressed concrete flexural members is presented.
