Long-short pile composite foundations bear both vertical and horizontal loads in many engineering applications. This study used indoor model tests to determine the horizontal bearing mechanism of a composite foundation with long and short piles under horizontal loads. A custom experimental device was developed to prevent excessive eccentricity of the vertical loading device caused by the horizontal displacement. ABAQUS software was used to analyze the influence of the load size and cushion thickness on the horizontal bearing mechanism. The results reveal that a large vertical load leads to soil densification and increases the horizontal bearing capacity of the composite foundation. The magnitude of the horizontal displacement of the pile and the horizontal load borne by the pile are related to the piles' positions. Due to different pile lengths, the long piles exhibit long pile effects and experience bending deformation, whereas the short piles rotate around a point (0.2 L from the pile bottom) as the horizontal load increases. Selecting a larger cushion thickness significantly improves the horizontal load sharing capacity of the soil and reduces the horizontal displacement of the pile top.

The purpose of this study is to obtain basic data for making performance criteria about the structural safety of lightweight dry wall later by examining types and characteristics of horizontal load acting on the wall. The subjects applying horizontal load to the wall are human and objects. The types of horizontal load are classified as static load and dynamic load depending on the difference of acting time. The magnitude of horizontal load "0.25kN/㎡" defined by KBC 2009 has no significant meaning since it is the unsubstantial nominal load. The result of examining types and characteristics of horizontal load is as follows. (1) Static load by human needs to have more systematic investigation including differences in wall hardness and human weight. (2) Dynamic load by human needs to raise the significance of study result by increasing the number of subjects. (3) Dynamic load by objects needs to accumulate the load specific data for various load subjects considering real situations.

매입말뚝의 수평저항 특성을 고찰하기 위하여 매입말뚝에 대한 수평재하시험을 실시하여 수평하중과 수평변위관계를 분석하였다. 말뚝수평재하시험은 시멘트 밀크가 말뚝매입길이의 50%, 70%, 100%로 주입된 6개의 말뚝에 대하여 실시하였다. 시멘트 밀크의 주입비(시멘트 밀크 주입길이/말뚝의 길이)는 매입말뚝의 수평변위, 항복하중, 수평지지력에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 시멘트 밀크의 주입비가 증가할수록 매입말뚝의 수평변위가 발생되기 시작하는 위치는 지표면에 가까워지며 말뚝의 수평변위는 감소한다. 그리고 말뚝의 수평지지력과 항복하중은 시멘트 밀크 주입비가 증가할 수록 크게 나타났다. 시멘트 밀크 주입비가 1인 매입말뚝의 항복하중과 극한수평지지력은 시멘트 밀크 주입비가 0.5인 경우보다 약 2~3배 정도 크게 나타났다.

This study examined the effects of the minimum horizontal load on the structural behaviors and safety of system supports. The minimum horizontal load was frequently ignored in the design of system supports even though the level of that load was specified in the code and guide in Korea such as 'Standard Specification in Temporary Construction' and 'Guide to Installation of Shores for a Concrete Bridge'. To examine the effects of considering the minimum horizontal load, the finite element analysis were performed for various system supports. By varying installing parameters of system supports such as the vertical member spacing, the installation height, and the thickness of slab, the maximum combined stress ratios were estimated to investigate the structural safety of system supports. The results showed similar axial stress in vertical members but an increase in bending stress with a consideration of the horizontal load. The combines stress ratios are remarkably increased due to the consideration of the horizontal load. Consequently, the system supports, which were initially estimated to be safe when only the vertical loads were considered, were changed to be unsafe in most cases by the effects of the both the vertical and horizontal stresses. Therefore, the minimum horizontal load following the code and the guide is an essential load that could control the structural safety of system supports.

In this study, the model tests were conducted on the short piles installed in sands under a horizontal pullout load to investigate their behavior characteristics. From the horizontal loading tests where dimensions of the pile diameter and length, and loading point were varied, the horizontal pullout resistance and the rotational and translational movement pattern of the pile were investigated. As a result, the horizontal pullout resistance of the pile embedded in sands was dependent on the pile length, diameter, loading point, etc. The ultimate horizontal pullout load tended to increase as the loading point (h/L) moved to the bottom from the top of the pile, regardless of the ratio between the pile length and diameter (L/D), reached the maximum value at the point of h/L = 0.75, and decreased afterwards. When the horizontal pullout load acted on the upper part above the middle of the pile, the pile rotated clockwise and moved to the pullout direction, and the pivot point of the pile was located at 150-360mm depth below the ground surface. On the other hand, when the horizontal pullout load acted on the lower part of the pile, the pile rotated counterclockwise and travelled horizontally, and the rotational angle was very small.

Nowadays, one of the practical, fast and easy ways to strengthen steel elements is the use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). Most previous research in the CFRP strengthening of steel members has carried out on straight steel members. The main difference between horizontal curved beams and straight beams under vertical load is the presence of torsional moment in the horizontal curved beams. In the other words, the horizontal curved beams are analyzed and designed for simultaneous internal forces included bending moment, torsional moment, and shear force. The horizontal curved steel beams are usually used in buildings, bridges, trusses, and others. This study explored the effect of the CFRP strengthening on the behavior of the horizontal curved square hollow section (SHS) steel beams. Four specimens were analyzed, one non-strengthened curved steel beam as a control column and three horizontal curved steel beams strengthened using CFRP sheets (under concentrated load and uniform distributed load). To analyze the horizontal curved steel beams, three dimensional (3D) modeling and nonlinear static analysis methods using ANSYS software were applied. The results indicated that application of CFRP sheets in some specific locations of the horizontal curved steel beams could increase the ultimate capacity of these beams, significantly. Also, the results indicated when the horizontal curved steel beams were under distributed load, the increase rate in the ultimate capacity was more than in the case when these beams were under concentrated load.

Vertical earthquake motions can occur along with horizontal earthquakes, so that Structure should be designed to resist Seismic loads in all directions. Especially, due to the dynamic characteristics such as the vibration mode, when the vertical seismic load, the dynamic response of the Spatial structure is large. In this study, the seismic response of the lattice dome to horizontal and vertical seismic loads is analyzed, and a reasonable seismic load combination is analyzed by combining horizontal and vertical seismic response results. In the combination of the horizontal seismic load, the largest result is obtained when the direction of the main axis of the structure coincides with the direction of seismic load. In addition, the combination of vertical seismic load and horizontal seismic load was the largest compared with the combination of horizontal seismic load. Therefore, it is considered that the most reasonable and stable design will be achieved if the seismic load in vertical direction is considered.

최근, 국내 탄광의 안전성이 향상되고 있으나 사고는 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 대부분의 터널 지보는 I빔과 I빔을 연결하는 이음판 부분에서 지압을 견디지 못하고 파손이 발생한다. XX 탄광의 경우, 터널지보의 아치부가 일반적인 굽힘 거동이 아닌, 위쪽 방향으로 굽힘이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 경우는 터널지보에 수직하중 이외에 수평하중이 과대하게 작용하는 경우로 볼 수 있으며 이러한 수평하중은 지하암반의 급격한 변화에 의한 암반의 이완범위의 증가나 지하수의 누출 등으로 인한 수리학적인 요인 등의 복합적인 문제가 작용하여 나타난다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위쪽 방향으로 굽힘을 일으키는 수평하중의 크기를 추정하기 위하여 실험계획법과 최적화 알고리듬을 적용하여 터널지보의 굽힘거동을 규명하였다.

수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 해석에서 수평지반반력계수($k_h$)의 결정이 중요하나 시간과 비용 등의 문제로 기존의 제안식을 이용하여 수평지반반력계수를 산정하고 있어 말뚝기초의 거동을 상이하게 평가하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 수평재하시험결과를 이용한 Chang 방법 및 수치해석 역해석 방법으로 수평지반반력계수를 산정하여 기존 제안식과의 상관성을 비교 분석하여 적정성 및 신뢰성을 규명하였다. 수평재하시험에 의한 수평지반반력계수 분석결과는 Chang 방법으로 산정된 값이 역해석에 의한 방법에 비해 과소평가 되었다. 그리고 도로교 표준시방서 방법으로 산정 시 지반의 변형계수는 Eo${\fallingdotseq}$1,400~1,600N 적용하는 경우 수평재하시험에 의한 수평지반반력계수와 유사한 범위를 가지는 것으로 확인되었다.

The multi-span suspension bridge having double main cables in the vertical plane is investigated regarding endurance of live load distribution in the case of non-displaced pylon and pylon displacement. The coefficient formula of live load distribution described as the ratio of live load on the bottom cable to the top cable is obtained. Based on this formula, some function in respect of this bridge are derived and used to analyze its characteristics. This analysis targets the cable force, the cable sag and the horizontal displacement at the pylon top under live load etc. The results clarified that the performance of the live load distribution and the horizontal force of cables in the case of non-deformed pylon has a similar tendency to those in the case of deformed pylon, and the increase of pylon rigidity can increase live load distributed to the bottom cable and slightly raise the cable horizontal force under live load. However, effect on the vertical rigidity of bridge and the horizontal force increment of cables caused by live load is different in the case of non-deformed pylon and deformed pylon.
