Experimental studies were peformed to investigate variations in ductility of shear wall with length of boundary confinement. Eight specimens containg different lengths of confinment zone, which model compressive zone in plastic regions of shear walls, were tested against eccentric vetical load. Stress-strain model for confined concrete was used to predict strength and ductility of the specimens, which was compared to the test results. The results obtained show that failure of the compressive zone occurs in a brittle manner when the stress of unconfined zone softened after the ultimate strength were reached. To enhance the ductility of shear walls with concentrated confinement zone such as barbell-type walls, the ultimate strength of the confinement zone needs to be increased, and for shear walls with distributed confinement zone the length of the confinement zone needs to be extended.

Confinement is major contribution to bond strength between reinforcement steel bars and concrete. Cover thickness, bar spacing and transverse reinforcement are the key confinement factors of current provisions for the development and splices of reinforcement. However, current provisions are still too complicated to determine the values of the confinement, which need to be well delineated in the process of design. In this study, an experimental work using beam-end and splice specimens was performed to examine the effect of concrete cover on bond strength. The results of this experiment and previously available data are analyzed to identify the effects of confinement on bond strength. From this reevaluation, new provisions for the development and splices of reinforcement are proposed. The provisions suggest some limitations in the confinement index. The new provisions will allow the engineers to use a simple and yet satisfactory and appropriate method or a precise approach for design to determine the values of confinement on the calculation of development and splice lengths.

Headed bars have used to the anchoring of the tension or compression longitudinal bars and of the shear reinforcing bars. Recently, lap splices of headed bars are attempted to the joints of precast concrete members and to the connections between old and new concrete members. Previous Michael's experimental research showed that confinement details had an effect on the lap splice performances of headed bars. In this study, the lap splice performances of headed bars(D25) with lap length and confinement details are evaluated through the experimental works. Four specimens, of which variables were the lap length of headed bar and the type of confine details, were tested for the performance evaluation on lap splice. Test results show that the lap length confinement reinforcement improve the performance of lap splice.

For performance-base design using nonlinear static analysis, it is required to predict the inelastic behavior of structural members accurately. In the present study, nonlinear numerical analysis was performed to develop the method describing the moment-curvature relationship of structural wall with boundary confinement. Through the numerical analysis, variations of behavioral characteristics and failure mechanism with the arrangement of vertical reiforcement and the length of boundary confinement were studied. Based on the findings, moment-curvature curves and curvature capacity for walls with a variety of re-bar arrangement was developed. By equalizing curvature capacity to demand, a design method which can determine the length of boundary confinement, was developed and for the effectiveness of boundary confinement and constructability, boundary confinement detail was proposed.

Confinement is one of the major concepts for bond of reinforcing steel to concrete. Cover distance, and lateral reinforcement are the key factors for current provisions for development and splices of reinforcement. However, the current provisions still being complicated to calculate major variables need to be developed in the process of design. In this study, an experimental work was performed to examine the behavior of bond using beam end specimens. The test results and previous available data are analyzed to isolate the effects of confinement on bond strength. From this reevaluation, new provisions for development and splice of reinforcement are proposed. The provisions also propose some limits for confinement index. The new provisions will help engineers to decide easily the simple but conservative way for manual calculations or the exact approach for computerized design.

구조벽의 성능에 기초한 내진설계를 위해서는 변형요구량을 만족시킬 수 있도록 구조벽의 횡보강 길이 및 보강상세를 결정하는 합리적인 설계 방법이 필요하다. 이를 위하여, 다양한 설계변수를 고려하여 단부 횡보강된 구조벽의 최대곡률성능을 정의하였고 벽체의 형상, 설계변위에 따른 곡률요구량을 정의하였다. 벽체의 곡률성능과 요구량을 등가로 하여 벽체 단부의 횡보강길이를 산정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 본 방법에 의하면 단부횡보강길이는 압축력과 설계변위가 증가하면 늘어나고 콘크리트 강도, 벽체두께, 횡보강효과, 형상비가 커지면 줄어든다. 또한 효율적인 단부 횡보강 효과와 시공성을 확보하기 위해서 단부 횡보강상세에 대한 연구를 수행하였으며 이 연구결과를 근거로 효율적인 횡보강근의 배치간격에 대한 합리적인 지침을 제안하였다.

전단벽의 연성도 확보를 위한 단부횡보강 설계에 있어서, 현재 설계기준들은 경험적이며 강제적이다. 즉, 현재 설계기준은 연성도 요구량에 관계없이 단부횡보강영역과 상세를 정해 놓고 있으며, 따라서 성능기초설계에 부적합하다. 본 연구의 목적은 성능기초설계에 적합한 전단벽의 연성도 설계방법을 개발하는 것이다. 단부횡보강영역에 따른 전단벽의 연성도변화를 조사하기 위하여 실험연구를 수행하였으며 압축대를 모델링하기 위하여 각기 다른 횡보강영역을 갖는 시험체에 편심축하중을 가력하였다. 실험연구를 통하여 횡보강된 벽체 압축대의 강도, 연성도, 파괴모드 등을 연구하였으며, 벽체 단면 전체에서 단부 횡보강으로 인하여 발생하는 연성도 및 파괴시점을 조사하기 위하여 비선형 수치해석을 수행하였다. 실험과 해석연구 결과를 기반으로 하여 전단벽의 연성도 설계방법을 개발하였다. 제안된 설계방법을 이용하여, 주어진 연성도 요구량에 맞게 단부횡보강영역과 횡보강량을 정확히 결정할 수 있으며, 따라서 벽체의 연성거동을 보장하는 동시에 경제적인 벽체설계가 가능하게 되었다.

We present an efficient design approach for a plasmonic slot waveguide using a genetic algorithm. The analyzed structure consists of a nanometric slot in a thin metallic film embedded within a dielectric. To achieve high confinement without long propagation length, the thickness and width of the slot are optimally designed in order to optimize the figures of merit including mode confinement and propagation length. The optimized design is based on the finite element method and enhances the guiding and focusing of light power propagation.

The mechanical behavior of concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer columns is affected by various factors including concrete strength, stiffness of tube, end confinement effect, and slenderness ratio of members. In this research the behavior of slender columns was examined both experimentally and analytically. Experimental works include 1) compression test with 30cm long glass fiber composite columns under different end confinement conditions, 2) uni-axial compression test for 7 slender columns, which have various slenderness ratios. Short-length stocky columns gave high strength and ductility revealing high confinement action of FRP tubes. The strength increment and strain change were examined under different end confinement conditions. With slender columns, failure strengths, confinement effects, and stress-strains relations were examined. Through analytical work, effective length was computed and it was compared with the amount of reduction in column strength, which is required to predict design strength with slender specimens. This study shows the feasibility of slender concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer composite columns.

In the present study, a Finite Element Model has been developed and used to study the effect of diameter to wall thickness ratio (D/t) of steel tube filled with concrete under axial loading on its behavior and load carrying capacity. The model is verified by comparing its findings with available experimental results. Influence of thickness and area of steel tube on strength, ductility, confinement and failure mode shapes has been studied. Strength enhancement factors, load factor, confinement contribution, percentage of steel and ductility index are defined and introduced for the assessment. A parametric study by varying length and thickness of tube has been carried out. Diameter of tube kept constant and equals to 140 mm while thickness has been varied between 1 mm and 6 mm. Equations were developed to find out the ultimate load and confined concrete strength of concrete. Variation of lateral confining pressure along the length of concrete cylinder was obtained and found that it varies along the length. The increase in length of tubes has a minimal effect on strength of tube but it affects the failure mode shapes. The findings indicate that optimum use of materials can be achieved by deciding the thickness of steel tube. A better ductility index can be obtained with the use of higher thickness of tube.
