Due to functional requirements, SRC column-RC beam abnormal joints with characteristics of strong beam weak column, variable column section, unequal beam height and staggered height exist in the Steel reinforced concrete (SRC) frame-bent main building structure of thermal power plant (TPP). This paper presents the experimental results of these abnormal joints through cyclic loading tests on five specimens with scaling factor of 1/5. The staggered height and whether adding H-shaped steel in beam or not were changing parameters of specimens. The failure patterns, bearing capacity, energy dissipation and ductile performance were analyzed. In addition, the stress mechanism of the abnormal joint was discussed based on the diagonal strut model. The research results showed that the abnormal exterior joints occurred shear failure and column end hinge flexural failure; reducing beam height through adding H-shaped steel in the beam of abnormal exterior joint could improve the crack resistance and ductility; the abnormal interior joints with different staggered heights occurred column ends flexural failure; the joint with larger staggered height had the higher bearing capacity and stiffness, but lower ductility. The concrete compression strut mechanism is still applicable to the abnormal joints in TPP, but it is affected by the abnormal characteristics.

In this study, considering the expansion/contraction behavior of the upper structure at all times and the abnormal behavior of the receiving friction elements that allow horizontal movement during earthquakes, a port receiving test body simulating the protrusion of the friction elements was created and the modulus performance was evaluated. In order to confirm the influence of the friction element's projection, the friction element's degree of separation was divided into four stages, and the shear behavior of the test specimen and the friction coefficient were confirmed. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the friction load increases as the protrusion degree of the friction element increases. On the other hand, as the degree of protrusion of the coefficient of friction increases, the coefficient of friction also increases. It was confirmed that damage to the friction elements during use increases the coefficient of friction, hinders smooth expansion and contraction of the upper structure, and causes stress concentration at the fixed-end support.

A total of 96 growing barrows (Duroc${\times}$Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire) at an average BW of 20.2 kg were used to investigate the effects of montmorillonite (MMT) or copper-bearing montmorillonite (Cu-MMT) on growth performance, intestinal microflora, digestive enzyme activities of pancreas and small intestinal contents, and the apparent nutrient digestion. The pigs were allocated to three groups with 32 pigs per treatment for 42 days and the average BW at the end of the experiment was 49.7 kg. The three dietary treatments were basal diet only (control group), basal diet +1.5 g/kg MMT, and basal diet +1.5 g/kg Cu-MMT. The results showed that supplementation with Cu-MMT significantly improved growth performance as compared to control and pigs fed with Cu-MMT had higher average daily gain than those fed with MMT. As compared to control, supplementation with Cu-MMT significantly reduced the total viable counts of Escherichia coli and Clostridium in the small intestine and proximal colon. Supplementation with MMT had no significant influence on intestinal microflora, although there was a tendency for Escherichia coli and Clostridium to be lower than the control. Pigs fed with Cu-MMT had lower viable counts of Escherichia coli in colonic contents than those fed with MMT. Although supplementation with MMT improved the activities of the digestive enzymes in the small intestinal contents, the tendency was not significant. Supplementation with Cu-MMT significantly improved the activities of total protease, amylase and lipase in the small intestinal contents. Supplementation with MMT or Cu-MMT improved the apparent nutrient digestion.

Set-up현상이 나타나는 지반에 항타된 말뚝의 지지력은 시간경과에 따라 지지력이 증가하게 된다. 파동이론해석법(WEAP해석법)은 말뚝의 항타관입성을 평가하는데 매우 유용한 것으로 평가되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 WEAP해석법은 항타후 변화하는 지반의 강도특성을 고려할 수 없다는 측면에서 재항타시의 신뢰도 있는 지지력을 예측하는데 한계가 있다고 평가된다. WEAP에 의한 항타말뚝의 지지력 평가가 신뢰성 있기 위해서는 set-up효과가 반영되어야만 한다. 그러나 아직까지 이를 고려할 수 있는 만족할 만한 방법이 없다. 본 논문에서는 항타시와 재항타시의 동재하시험 결과들을 통계분석하여 WEAP해석시 set-up효과를 반영할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 또한 현장 시험결과와의 비교를 통해서, 제안된 변수(quake, damping)를 적용한 파동이론해석 결과는 기존의 방법보다 신뢰성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, due to the need for cutting cement-soil group pile composite foundation under the 7-story masonry structure of Zhenghe District and the shield tunnel of Zhengzhou Metro Line 5, a field test was conducted to directly cut cement-soil single pile composite foundation with diameter Ф=500 mm. Research results showed that the load transfer mechanism of composite foundation was not changed before and after shield tunnel cut the pile, and pile body and the soil between piles was still responsible for overburden load. The construction disturbance of shield cutting pile is a complicated mechanical process. The load carried by the original pile body was affected by the disturbance effect of pile cutting construction. Also, the fraction of the load carried by the original pile body was transferred to the soil between the piles and therefore, the bearing capacity of composite foundation was not decreased. Only the fractions of the load carried by pile and the soil between piles were distributed. On-site monitoring results showed that the settlement of pressure-bearing plates produced during shield cutting stage accounted for about 7% of total settlement. After the completion of pile cutting, the settlements of bearing plates generated by shield machine during residual pile composite foundation stage and shield machine tail were far away from residual pile composite foundation stage which accounted for about 15% and 74% of total settlement, respectively. In order to reduce the impact of shield cutting pile construction on the settlement of upper composite foundation, it was recommended to take measures such as optimization of shield construction parameters, radial grouting reinforcement and "clay shock" grouting within the disturbance range of shield cutting pile construction. Before pile cutting, the pile-soil stress ratio n of composite foundation was 2.437. After the shield cut pile is completed, the soil around the lining structure is gradually consolidated and reshaped, and residual pile composite foundation reaches a new state of force balance. This was because the condensation of grouting layer could increase the resistance of remaining pile end and friction resistance of the side of the pile.

Seismic records are composed of mainshock and a series of aftershocks which often result in the incremental damage to underground structures and bring great challenges to the rescue of post-disaster and the repair of post-earthquake. In this paper, the repetition method was used to construct the mainshock-aftershocks sequence which was used as the input ground motion for the analysis of dynamic time history. Based on the Daikai station, the two-dimensional finite element model of soil-station was established to explore the failure process of station under different seismic precautionary intensities, and the concept of incremental damage of station was introduced to quantitatively analyze the damage condition of structure under the action of mainshock and two aftershocks. An arc rubber bearing was proposed for the shock absorption. With the arc rubber bearing, the mode of the traditional column end connection was changed from "fixed connection" to "hinged joint", and the ductility of the structure was significantly improved. The results show that the damage condition of the subway station is closely related to the magnitude of the mainshock. When the magnitude of the mainshock is low, the incremental damage to the structure caused by the subsequent aftershocks is little. When the magnitude of the mainshock is high, the subsequent aftershocks will cause serious incremental damage to the structure, and may even lead to the collapse of the station. The arc rubber bearing can reduce the damage to the station. The results can offer a reference for the seismic design of subway stations under the action of mainshock-aftershocks.

Transmission tower structures are particularly susceptible to damage and even collapse under strong seismic ground motions. Conventional seismic analyses of transmission towers are usually performed by considering only ground motion uncertainty while ignoring structural uncertainty; consequently, the performance evaluation and failure prediction may be inaccurate. In this context, the present study numerically investigates the seismic responses and failure mechanism of transmission towers by considering multiple sources of uncertainty. To this end, an existing transmission tower is chosen, and the corresponding three-dimensional finite element model is created in ABAQUS software. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to identify the relative importance of the uncertain parameters in the seismic responses of transmission towers. The numerical results indicate that the impacts of the structural damping ratio, elastic modulus and yield strength on the seismic responses of the transmission tower are relatively large. Subsequently, a set of 20 uncertainty models are established based on random samples of various parameter combinations generated by the Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method. An uncertainty analysis is performed for these uncertainty models to clarify the impacts of uncertain structural factors on the seismic responses and failure mechanism (ultimate bearing capacity and failure path). The numerical results show that structural uncertainty has a significant influence on the seismic responses and failure mechanism of transmission towers; different possible failure paths exist for the uncertainty models, whereas only one exists for the deterministic model, and the ultimate bearing capacity of transmission towers is more sensitive to the variation in material parameters than that in geometrical parameters. This research is expected to provide an in-depth understanding of the influence of structural uncertainty on the seismic demand assessment of transmission towers.

ACI 318-08에 신설된 확대머리 철근의 정착길이 설계식은 콘크리트 강도, 철근 항복강도, 철근 지름만을 변수로 횡보강철근의 영향을 고려하지 않고 있다. 또한 제한적인 데이터에 근거한 설계식으로 순간격과 재료강도에 엄격한 제한을 두고 있다. 이 연구에서는 철근 항복강도 600 MPa의 고강도 철근을 사용하여, $2d_b$의 좁은 순간격을 갖고 횡보강철근을 배근한 겹침 이음 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 횡보강철근을 배근하지 않은 실험체의 경우, 프라잉 거동으로 인해 하부 피복콘크리트가 일찍 탈락되었다. 전체 정착강도 중 확대머리 지압의 기여도는 평균 15%로 지압이 제대로 발현되기 전에 파괴되었다. 이음길이 전체에 스터럽을 배근한 횡보강 실험체는 프라잉 거동이 억제되고 횡보강에 의한 부착강도 증진으로 무보강에 비해 지압과 부착이 모두 증가하였다. 이음 단부에만 횡보강철근을 배근한 단부보강 실험체의 경우, 프라잉 거동은 억제되었지만 이음구간의 부착이 크게 증가되지 않아 지압이 충분히 발현되기 전에 부착에 의해 파괴되었다. 실험결과를 회귀 분석하여 확대머리 철근의 정착강도 평가식을 제안하였다. 평가식은 부착과 지압의 영향을 분리하여 구성하였으며, 콘크리트강도, 횡방향 철근 지수, 정착길이를 설계 변수로 포함하였다. 실험 결과와 비교한 결과 평균 1.0, 변동계수 6%로 변수에 따른 편향 없이 정착강도를 예측하였다.

헬리컬 파일(helical pile)은 회전 관입기로 시공이 가능하므로 비교적 소형의 장비로 말뚝 시공이 가능한 장점이 있어, 최근 다양한 현장에서 그 사용이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 헬리컬 파일의 지지력을 평가하기 위한 현장 정재하시험은 시험하중만큼의 사하중, 반력 말뚝, 반력 앵커 등이 필요하다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 헬리컬 파일에 상대적으로 재하장치가 간단하고 시험이 간편한 양방향 재하시험을 적용하였으며, 양방향 재하시험 결과와 정재하시험 결과를 비교하였다. 양방향 재하시험은 헬리컬 파일의 중공형 중심축(shaft)에 중심축의 직경과 일치하고 중심축 내부 공간으로 유압재하용 호스가 나올 수 있도록 특수하게 제작된 유압식 셀(cell)을 나선형 원판(helix plate)사이에 삽입한 후, 유압 셀(cell)에 가압하여 지지력을 측정하는 방식으로 수행되었다. 양방향 재하시험은 유압식 셀을 최하단 나선형 원판 상부에 삽입한 경우와 최상단 나선형 원판 상부에 삽입한 두 가지 케이스로 시험을 진행하였으며, 각각의 방법이 선단지지력과 주면마찰력을 측정할 수 있도록 말뚝 두부의 변형을 제한하였다. 시험은 89mm, 114mm의 중심축에 450mm, 350mm, 200mm의 나선형 원판을 부착하여 제작한 헬리컬 파일로 수행되었으며, 시험 결과 정재하시험으로 산정한 지지력과 양방향 재하시험으로 산정한 지지력이 유사함을 확인하였다.
