A total stress-based bounding surface model is developed to predict the undrained behaviour of saturated soft clays under cyclic loads based on the anisotropic hardening modulus field and bounding-surface theories. A new hardening rule is developed based on a new interpolation function of the hardening modulus that has simple mathematic expression and fewer model parameters. The evolution of hardening modulus field is described in the deviatoric stress space. It is assumed that the stress reverse points are the mapping centre points and the mapping centre moves with the variation of loading and unloading paths to describe the cyclic stress-strain hysteresis curve. In addition, by introducing a model parameter that reflects the accumulation rate and level of shear strain to the interpolation function, the cyclic shakedown and failure behaviour of soil elements with different combinations of initial and cyclic stresses can be captured. The methods to determine the model parameters using cyclic triaxial compression tests are also studied. Finally, the cyclic triaxial extension and torsional shear tests are performed. By comparing the predictions with the test results, the model can be used to describe undrained cyclic stress-strain responses of elements with different stress states for the tested clays.

The objective of this study is to investigate the hysteretic behaviors of exterior beam-column joints with high strength concrete (f'c≒1000kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) subjected to cyclic loads. Four exterior subassemblages scaled down about 60% were tested, whose variables were with/without shear reinforcements and with/without slab and spandrel beams. Hoop bars and hooked steel fibers were used as the shear reinforcements. The test results showed that using hooked steel fiber reinforced concrete with volume ratio 1.5% at beam-column joints was very effective to resist shear stress due to cyclic loads.

Cyclic behaviour of composite (steel-concrete) plate shear walls (CPSW) with variable column flexural stiffness is experimentally and numerically investigated. The investigation included design, fabrication and testing of three pairs of one-bay one-storey CPSW specimens. The reference specimen pair was designed in way that its column flexural stiffness corresponds to the value required by the design codes, while within the other two specimen pairs column flexural stiffness was reduced by 18% and 36%, respectively. Specimens were subjected to quasi-static cyclic tests. Obtained results indicate that column flexural stiffness reduction in CPSW does not have negative impact on the overall behaviour allowing for satisfactory performance for up to 4% storey drift ratio while also enabling inelastic buckling of the infill steel plate. Additionally, in comparison to similar steel plate shear wall (SPSW) specimens, column "pull-in" deformations are less pronounced within CPSW specimens. Therefore, the results indicate that prescribed minimal column flexural stiffness value used for CPSW might be conservative, and can additionally be reduced when compared to the prescribed value for SPSWs. Furthermore, finite element (FE) pushover simulations were conducted using shell and solid elements. Such FE models can adequately simulate cyclic behaviour of CPSW and as such could be further used for numerical parametric analyses. It is necessary to mention that the implemented pushover FE models were not able to adequately reproduce column "pull-in" deformation and that further development of FE simulations is required where cyclic loading of the shear walls needs to be simulated.

본 연구에서는 여러 영향 인자들이 사질토의 액상화로 인한 침하에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 변형률 제어조건 하에서 반복단순직접전단시험을 수행하였다. 누적 전단 변형률, 상대밀도, 반복 하중의 형태, 시료 준비 방법 등의 다양한 인자들을 선정하였으며, 지진 하중이 발생하였을 때 인자들이 지반 침하에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 시험 결과, 누적 전단 변형률이 낮고 상대밀도가 높은 시료에서 더 작은 부피 변형이 발생하였다. 추가적으로 반복하중의 진폭은 부피 변형에 영향을 미쳤으나, 주파수는 시료의 부피 변형에 영향을 미치지 않는다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 시료 준비 방법에 따라서도 액상화에 따른 침하가 다른 양상을 보인다는 사실을 확인하였으며, 이와 같은 결과들은 향후 액상화로 인한 침하 예측을 수행할 때 기초 연구로써 의미가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 주문진 표준사를 대상으로 개량된 반복삼축압축 시험장치를 이용하여 탄성계수와 감쇠비에 대한 변형특성을 분석하였다. 기존의 낮은 정밀도를 갖는 LVDT를 사용한 반복삼축시험기를 개량하여 정밀하고 넓은 영역의 동적변형특성을 얻기 위해서 전단변형률(${\gamma}$) $10^{-4}-10^{-1}%$ 범위의 측정을 제어하는 셀 외부 LDT와 내부의 시료에 LDT를 설치하여 사용하였다. 이러한 미소변형제어를 통하여 5가지의 재하속도 변화와 간극비를 구분하고 4가지의 구속응력 조건을 달리하여 반복삼축시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과를 바탕으로 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비를 여러 조건에 대하여 반복하중 및 변형률 크기의 영향을 비교하고 분석한 결과, 주문진 표준사의 기존(공진주 시험)의 동적변형특성 보다 넓은 구간에서 시험값들을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 공진주 시험에서 0.02% 이하의 미소변형률 구간에서 얻은 결과를 토대로 중간변형률 구간을 비선형 모델로 예측한 값들은 반복삼축시험으로 얻은 실험값들과 다른 변형특성을 나타내고 있음을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) to strengthen reinforced concrete beams under bending and shear has gained rapid growth in recent years. The performance of shear strengthened beams with externally bonded CFRP laminate or fabric strips is raising many concerns when the beam is loaded under cyclic loading. Such concerns warrant experimental, analytical and numerical investigation of such beams under cyclic loading. To date, limited investigations have been carried out to address this concern. This paper presents a numerical investigation by developing a nonlinear finite element (FE) model to study the response of a cantilever reinforced concrete T-beam strengthened in shear with side bonded CFRP fabric strips and subjected to cyclic loading. A detailed 3D nonlinear finite element model that takes into account the orthotropic nature of the polymer's fibers is developed. In order to simulate the bond between the CFRP sheets and concrete, a layer having the material properties of the adhesive epoxy resin is introduced in the model as an interface between the CFRP sheets and concrete surface. Appropriate numerical modeling strategies were used and the response envelope and the load-displacement hysteresis loops of the FE model were compared with the experimental response at all stages of the cyclic loading. It is observed that the responses of the FE beam model are in good agreement with those of the experimental test. A parametric study was conducted using the validated FE model to investigate the effect of spacing between CFRP sheets, number of CFRP layers, and fiber orientation on the overall performance of the T-beam. It is concluded that successful FE modeling provides a practical and economical tool to investigate the behavior of such strengthened beams when subjected to cyclic loading.

The effects of mean particle size and uniformity coefficient of dredged soils to the liquefaction resistance strength and dynamic characteristics are experimentally studied in this paper. Representative 4 mean particle sizes and 3 uniformity coefficients were selected and 12 representative particle size distribution curves which have different mean particle sizes and uniformity coefficients, were artificially manufactured using the real dredged river soil. Cyclic triaxial tests and torsional shear tests were carried out to analyze the effect of mean particle size and uniformity coefficient to the liquefaction resistance strength and dynamic characteristics of soils.

Seven columns laterally reinforced with either mechanically anchored crossties or conventional crossties under cyclic loading are tested. 4 columns are specimens for flexural strength and 3 columns are for shear strength. Main variable is anchorage types of crossties. Conventional hooks, 180$^{\circ}$ standard hook-mechanical anchorage and all mechanical anchorage type are used. The specimens are tested under 10$\%$ axial load of nominal axial capacity of the columns combined with increasing lateral load. From the flexure test, it is found that columns with mechanical anchorages exhibit superior performance in terms of ductility and energy dissipation. The crossties with mechanical anchorages reduce buckling length of longitudinal rebar. From the shear test, it is found that. 3 specimens exhibit almost the same strength, displacement, and shear failure mode at ductility factor =2.

The objective of this study is to investigate the actual behavior of studs in structures under earthquake load through laboratory tests and numerical simulation. A test program including eighteen specimens was devised with consideration of different concrete strengths and stud diameters. Six of specimens were subjected to monotonically increasing loading while the others were subjected to cyclic loading. Mechanical behavior including the failure mechanism, load-slip relationship, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and the damage accumulation was obtained from the test results. An accurate numerical model based on the ABAQUS software was developed and validated against the test results. The results obtained from the finite element (FE) model matched well with the experimental results. Furthermore, based on the experimental and numerical data, the design formulas for expressing the skeleton curve were proposed and the simplified hysteretic model of load versus displacement was then established. It is demonstrated that the proposed formulas and simplified hysteretic model have a good match with the test results.

본 논문에서는 지진이 발생한 지역에서 다시 지진이 발생할 경우에 포화된 사질토 지반의 동적거동에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 반복 직접단순전단시험을 실시하여 느슨한 모래지반에서 간극수압발생량과 재액상화발생여부의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 최초의 전단하중으로 인하여 지반이 원래 가지고 있던 유효수직응력의 약 90%까지 간극수압이 발생하였을 경우 시간 경과에 따라 과잉간극수압이 전부 소산된 이후 다시 전단하중을 가하였을 때 지반의 액상화에 대한 저항력은 증가하였다. 하지만 최초 진동으로 지반이 완전히 액상화되었을 경우에는 다음에 전달되는 전단하중에는 이전보다도 지반이 더욱 조밀해짐에도 불구하고 액상화 저항력은 증가하지 않았다. 이와 같은 실내시험결과를 진동 중에 발생하는 간극수압 변화와 흙의 강성저하를 고려할 수 있는 유효응력모델인 UBCSAND모델에 적용하였으며, 최초 전단하중에서 발생하는 간극수압비에 따라 구성모델의 액상화 저항력을 결정하였다. 이 구성모델을 이용하여 재액상화현상을 연구한 원심모형실험의 결과를 예측하였으며, 계측치와 서로 비교하였다. 국내에서도 일본과 가까운 남부지역에서는 약한 지진이지만 자주 발생하고 있는 시점에서 이와 같은 유효응력모델을 이용한 재액상화 현상에 관한 연구가 절실히 요구되어진다.
