Man-made structure materials like concrete usually contain inclusions. These inclusions affect the mechanical properties of concrete. In this investigation, the influence of inclusion length and inclination angle on three-dimensional failure mechanism of concrete under uniaxial compression were performed using experimental test and numerical simulation. Approach of acoustic emission were jointly used to analyze the damage and fracture process. Besides, by combining the stress-strain behavior, quantitative determination of the thresholds of crack stress were done. concrete specimens with dimensions of 120 mm × 150 mm × 100 mm were provided. One and two holes filled by gypsum are incorporated in concrete samples. To build the inclusion, firstly cylinder steel tube was pre-inserting into the concrete and removing them after the initial hardening of the specimen. Secondly, the gypsum was poured into the holes. Tensile strengths of concrete and gypsum were 2.45 MPa and 1.5 MPa, respectively. The angle bertween inclusions and axial loadind ary from 0 to 90 with increases of 30. The length of inclusion vary from 25 mm to 100 mm with increases of 25 mm. Diameter of the hole was 20 mm. Entirely 20 various models were examined under uniaxial test. Simultaneous with experimental tests, numerical simulation (Particle flow code in two dimension) were carried out on the numerical models containing the inclusions. The numerical model were calibrated firstly by experimental outputs and then failure behavior of models containing inclusions have been investigated. The angle bertween inclusions and axial loadind vary from 0 to 90 with increases of 15. The length of inclusion vary from 25 mm to 100 mm with increases of 25 mm. Entirely 32 various models were examined under uniaxial test. Loading rate was 0.05 mm/sec. The results indicated that when inclusion has occupied 100% of sample thickness, two tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. When inclusion has occupied 75% of sample thickness, four tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. When inclusions have occupied 50% and 25% of sample thickness, four tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. Also the inclusion was failed by one tensile crack. The compressive strength of samples decease with the decreases of the inclusions length, and inclusion angle had some effects on that. Failure of concrete is mostly due to the tensile crack. The behavior of crack, was affected by the inclusion length and inclusion number.

콘크리트 충전강관(Concrete Filled Steel Tube, 이하 CFT) 기둥에 사용되는 내다이아프램은 사용 강재량은 적으나 강관과 네 면을 용접해야 하므로 용접이 까다롭고 개구부가 필요한 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서 살펴보고자하는 개선 다이아프램은 콘크리트 충전을 위한 중앙부 홀을 4등분하여 각 코너부위를 절삭했다. 개선 다이아프램은 중앙부 홀의 넓이는 기존 다이아프램과 동일하지만 강관과 접하는 다이아프램의 폭이 감소하여 용접 길이가 기존 다이아프램 대비 약 70%가 감소된다. 개선 다이아프램의 인장성능을 검토하기 위하여 콘크리트 타설 홀의 반지름인 R값을 설계 변수로 3개의 실험체를 제작하였다. 단순 인장 실험을 통하여 내다이아프램에 동일 하중을 받았을 때 각 실험체의 면내 변형률을 분석하였다. 범용유한요소해석 프로그램을(ANSYS 19.2)를 사용하여 실제 단순 인장 실험과 동일한 조건으로 해석을 수행하고 개선 다이아프램과 기존 다이아프램의 하중 전달을 비교하였다. 다이아프램의 폭이 플랜지 폭과 같거나 작을 때는 다이아프램의 단부에서 부터 응력이 집중되고 플랜지 폭이 더 클 때는 중앙부에서 응력이 집중되는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 재료적 성능이 우수하며 경량재료로서 최근 건설구조물에 활용하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 섬유보강재료(FRP : Fiber Reinforced Polymer)를 이용한 합성구조인 CFFT(Concrete Filled FRP Tube)의 설계프로그램을 개발하여 제안하고자 하였다. 먼저, CFFT구조는 FRP관에 의해 철근콘크리트가 구속되는 구조로서 기둥과 같이 축력이 도입되는 경우 포아송효과에 의한 변형을 FRP관이 구속효과를 줌으로써 콘크리트의 역학적 거동을 개선하게 되는데 본 연구에서는 실험에 의해 검증된 식을 제시하였으며 이를 바탕으로 CFFT구조를 설계하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 CFFT구조는 FRP관의 구속으로 인해 고강도콘크리트와 긴장재의 도입이 가능한 구조로서 이에 대한 설계도 포함하였다. 그러나 이방성재료인 FRP의 설계와 동시에 FRP관에 의한 구속효과를 고려하는 CFFT구조의 설계는 일반 실무설계자들에게는 다소 난해한 작업으로써 전산화 설계프로그램의 필요성이 대두되어 본 연구에서 CFFT구조의 설계프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 설계프로그램의 검증을 위해 일반 철근콘크리트기둥, CFFT기둥, 고강도콘크리트와 PS긴장재를 도입한 CFFT기둥을 설계한 결과, 매우 실용적이며 타당한 설계가 수행될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The use of box columns has been increased due to the rigidity in rigid orthogonal moment resisting frames. On the other hand, the installation and welding of necessary horizontal continuity plates inside the columns are both labor-consuming and costly tasks. Accordingly, in this paper, a new beam-to-box column connection by trapezoidal external stiffeners and horizontal bar mats is presented to provide seismic parameters. The proposed connection consists of eight external stiffeners in the level of beam flanges and five horizontal bar mats in Concrete Filled Tube (CFT) columns. The new connection effectively alleviates the stress concentration and moves the plastic hinge away from the column face by horizontal external stiffeners. In addition, the result shows that proposed connection has provided the required strength and rigidity of connection, so that the increased strength, 8.08% and rigidity, 3.01% are compared to connection with internal continuity plates, also the results indicate that this connection can offer appropriate ductility and energy dissipation capacity for its potential application in moment resisting frames in seismic region. As a result, the proposed connection can be a good alternative for connection with continuity plates.

This study describes the development of innovative connections between steel beams and concrete-filled tube columns that utilize a combination of low-carbon steel and super-elastic shape memory alloy components. The intent is to combine the recentering behavior provided by the shape memory alloys to reduce building damage and residual drift after a major earthquake with the excellent energy dissipation of the low-carbon steel. The analysis and design of structures requires that simple yet accurate models for the connection behavior be developed. The development of a simplified 2D spring connection model for cyclic loads from advanced 3D FE monotonic studies is described. The implementation of those models into non-linear frame analyses indicates hat the recentering systems will provide substantial benefits for smaller earthquakes and superior performance to all-welded moment frames for large earthquakes.

Among the destruction instances of half-through arch bridges, the shorter hangers are more likely to be ruined. For a thorough investigation of the hanger system durability, we have studied vehicle impact effect on hangers with vehicle-bridge coupling method for a half-through concrete-filled-steel-tube arch bridge. A numerical method has been applied to simulate the variation of dynamic internal force (stress) in hangers under different vehicle speeds and road surface roughness. The characteristics and differences in impact effect among hangers with different length (position) are compared. The impact effect is further analyzed comprehensively based on the vehicle speed distribution model. Our results show that the dynamic internal force induced by moving vehicles inside the shorter hangers is significantly greater than that inside the longer ones. The largest difference of dynamic internal force among the hangers could be as high as 28%. Our results well explained a common phenomenon in several hanger damage accidents occurred in China. This work forms a basis for hanger system's fatigue analysis and service life evaluation. It also provides a reference to the design, management, maintenance, monitoring, and evaluation for this kind of bridge.

This paper handles the repairing of deficient square Concrete-Filled Steel-Tube (CFST) beams subject to bending through an experimental and numerical program. Eight square-CFST beams were tested. A 5-mm artificial notch was induced at mid-span of seven beams, four of them were repaired by using CFRP sheets and two were repaired by using GFRP sheets. The beam deflection, strain and ultimate moments were recorded. It was found that providing different cut-off points for the different layers of FRP sheets prohibited failure at termination points due to stress concentrations. Using different lengths of FRP sheets around the notch retarded crack propagation and prevented FRP rupture at the crack position. Finite element analysis was then conducted and the proposed FE model was verified against the recorded experimental data. The influence of various parameters as FRP sheet length, tensile modulus and the number of layers were studied. The moment capacity of damaged square-CFST beams was improved up to 77.6% when repaired by using four layers of CFRP, however, this caused a dramatic decrease in beam deflection. U-wrapping of notched-CFST beam with 0.75 of its length provided a comparable behaviour as wrapping the full length of the beam.

In this study, circular sectional concrete-filled tube(CFT) column-to-foundation connections were numerically investigated in order to improve their structural details. A inner reinforced specimen with high-tension bolts and inner deformed bars was adopted from a previous experimental study to make the numerical model. The validity of the numerical method was verified through comparing the experimental results with the analysis's ones. In order to optimize design variables about the inner reinforced model, a number of numerical analyses were conducted for various variables. Finally, this study suggested the optimum variables about the reinforced circular sectional CFT column-to-foundation connections.
