본 논문에서는 콘크리트 댐체의 균열 발생 및 진전해석을 포함하는 비선형 지진해석에서 유한요소망 의존성을 제거시키고 안정적인 해를 얻기 위하여 균열모형으로 사용되는 소성손상모형 및 손상역학모형을 duvaut-lions모형에 기초한 점소성모형으로 정규화하는 방법을 기술하였다. 제안된 방법으로 정규화된 소성손상모형과 그렇지 않은 소성손상모형를 이용하여 지진하중을 받는 콘크리트 댐체의 동적 손상해석을 수행하여 여러 형태의 유한요소망이 해석결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 해석결과로부터 정규화한 소성손상모형은 유한요소망의 크기 및 배열에 영향을 크게 받지 않고 객관적이며 안정적인 해를 계산하는 반면, 정규화되지 않은 균열모형은 요소망에 의존적인 불안정한 결과를 산출함을 관찰할 수 있었다.

This paper focuses on the mesh-size dependency in numerical simulations of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to blast loading. A tensile failure criterion that can minimize the mesh-dependency of simulation results is introduced based on the fracture energy theory. In addition, conventional plasticity based damage models for concrete such as the CSC model and the HJC model, which are widely used for blast analyses of concrete structures, are compared with the orthotropic model that adopts the introduced tensile failure criterion in blast tests to verify the proposed criterion. The numerical predictions of the time-displacement relations at the mid-span of RC beams subjected to blast loading are compared with experimental results. The analytical results show that the numerical error according to the change in the finite element mesh size is substantially reduced and the accuracy of the numerical results is improved by applying a unique failure strain value determined by the proposed criterion.

본 논문에서는 파괴에너지이론에 기초하여 요소의존성을 최소화할 수 있는 인장파괴기준식을 제안하고 HJC(holmquist johnson cook), CSC(continuous surface cap), Orthotropic 모델을 이용한 폭발수치해석을 통해 기준식을 검증하였다. 폭발하중으로 인한 RC 보의 시간에 따른 중앙지점의 처짐을 실험결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 기준식을 통해 산정된 파괴변형률을 수치해석상에 적용해줌으로써 해석결과의 요소의존성이 감소하였고 해의 정확성 또한 향상되는 것을 파악할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the sensitivity of a plastic-damage-based structural damage index on mesh density is studied. Multiple finite element meshes with increasing density are used to investigate their effect on the damage index values calculated from nonlinear finite element simulations for a reinforced concrete column subjected to cyclic loading. With the simulation results, this paper suggests a correction method for the objective damage index based on nonlinear regression of volumetric tensile damage ratio data. The modified damage index values are presented in the quasi-static cyclic simulation to show the efficacy of the suggested correction method.

When approached using nonlinear finite element (FE) techniques, structural analyses generate, for real RC structures, large complex numerical problems. Damage is a major part of concrete behavior, and the discretization technique is critical to limiting the size of the problem. Based on previous work, the ${\mu}$ damage model has been designed to activate the various damage effects correlated with monotonic and cyclic loading, including unilateral effects. Assumptions are formulated to simplify constitutive relationships while still allowing for a correct description of the main nonlinear effects. After presenting classical 2D finite element applications on structural elements, an enhanced simplified FE description including a damage description and based on the use of multi-fiber beam elements is provided. Improvements to this description are introduced both to prevent dependency on mesh size as damage evolves and to take into account specific phenomena (permanent strains and damping, steel-concrete debonding). Applications on RC structures subjected to cyclic loads are discussed, and results lead to justifying the various concepts and assumptions explained.
