For long underground box utility tunnels, post-tensioned precast concrete is often used. Between precast tunnel segments, sealed waterproof flexible joints are often specified. Fault displacement can lead to excessive deformation of the joints, which can lead to reduction in waterproofing due to diminished contact pressure between the sealant strip and the tunnel segment. This paper authenticates utilization of a finite element model for a prefabricated tunnel fault-crossing founded on ABAQUS software. In addition, material parameter selection, contact setting and boundary condition are reviewed. Analyzed under normal fault action are: the influence of fault displacement; buried depth; soil friction coefficient, and angle of crossing at the fault plane. In addition, distribution characteristics of the utility tunnel structure for vertical and longitudinal/horizontal relative displacement at segmented interface for the top and bottom slab are analyzed. It is found that the effect of increase in fault displacement on the splice joint deformation is significant, whereas the effects of changes in burial depth, pipe-soil friction coefficient and fault-crossing angle on the overall tunnel and joint deformations were not so significant.

This research is related to the experimental verification of the shear resistance of horizontal joint in precast concrete large panel structures. a total of 9 spicemens was tested to assess their shear resistance. In the tests lateral forces have been applied to the specimen to cause shear failure while keeping the axial compression consistantly. The shear resistances of the specimens have been evaluated by investigating the deformations and failure modes of the specimens. From the test results, it is observed that the shear resistance of the horizontal joints of P.C panel structures are closely connected with shear friction mechanism.

Scaled centrifuge modelling techniques were used to study the soil-structure interactions and performance of a jointed rollable aluminium roadway (or trackway) system on soft clay under light truck tyre loads. The measured performance and subsequent analyses highlighted that the articulated connections significantly reduced the overall longitudinal flexural stiffness of the roadway leading to stress concentrations in the soil below the joints under tyred vehicle loadings. This resulted in rapid localised failure of the supporting soil that in turn led to excessive transverse flexure of the roadway and ultimately plastic deformations. It is shown that the performance of rollable roadway systems under tyred vehicle trafficking will be improved by eliminating joint rotation to increase longitudinal stiffness.

A basic assumption in the current design and analysis of reinforced concrete(RC) box structures, which are constructed by the open cut and fill method, is that the displacements and forces are uniform in the longitudinal direction of the structure. The solution may be therefore obtatined from the analysis of a unit wide strip along longitudinal axis. This strip is said to be in a plane strain condition, meaning that the out of plane deformations are vanished. The current design of box structure is carried out by the result of planar frame model for the sake of simplicity. The purpose of this study is to show more rational design method of box culverts considering a rigid zone of corner joints. The current analysis of box structures will be compared with the plane strain analysis as well as 3-d shell model. Reinforcement quantity is also determined to resist the tensile force in corner joints of box structures using strut-tie model which has been developed through the elastic analysis.

Recently, composite structural systems have been developed actively due to its structural advantages of combining different materials. The objective of this paper is to investigate the structural behavior of composite connection which consist of steel beams and reinforced concrete columns (RCS). Five 2/3 scale joint specimens with variables mainly consist of shear resisting details, were tested under reversal loads. The results showed that RCS beam-column joints maintain ductility, strength compared to other RCS joints and exhibited excellent energy dissipating capacity when subjected to inelastic deformations under reversal load.

Soil-aggregate system in pavement foundations exist in unsaturated conditions. However, change in water content on foundation layers due to joint and structural cracks during rainfall may cause problems like layer deformations or partial settlements. Therefore, a need exist to evaluate the infiltration and drainage capacity of soil-aggregate foundation system under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. To do that, a laboratory soil-water characteristic curve and permeability under unsaturated conditions are assessed to establish hydraulic properties of geomaterials and limited numerical analysis are performed respectively. As a result, it was found that suction profiles and drainage process was greatly influenced by the initial suction of soil-aggregate system at the time of infiltration, soil water characteristics curves, and hysteresis effects.

Many RC structures built without seismic provisions have exhibited brittle shear failures in the beam-column joint area, and resulted in large permanent deformations and structural collapse. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation pertaining to the use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer(FRP) for strengthening of RC beam-column connections. The selective upgrade is obtained by choosing different combinations and locations of carbon FRP sheets to determine the effective way to improve the structural performance of joints. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvement of flexural capacity and ductility of beam-column connections originally built without seismic details.

Ductility of open piled wharves under reversed cyclic loads has been investigated. Experimental testing of five wharf models having a scale of about 1:4 was conducted under the application of horizontal reversed cyclic loading. The experiments were designed to focus on the horizontal ultimate load, ductility and failure mode of the considered wharf models. Nonlinear numerical analyses using the finite element method were also performed on numerical models representing the experimentally tested wharves. The results of the experimental tests showed that open piled wharves possessed favourable ductile behaviour and that their load bearing capacity did not depreciate until a ductility factor of 3 to 4 was reached. The numerical analysis showed that the relative rotation that took place at the joints between the steel piles and the R.C. beam was responsible for a considerable portion of the total horizontal deformation of the wharves. Therefore, it was concluded that introducing the joint stiffness in calculating the deformations of open piled wharves was important to achieve reasonable accuracy.

시멘트콘크리트 포장의 세로줄눈 및 가로줄눈은 교통하중의 반복이동에 의한 포장슬래브의 단차현상을 억제하고, 하중, 온도 및 습도변화 등에 의하여 발생하는 응력 및 변형을 효율적으로 조절하기 위하여 설치된다. 그러나, 노반공극수의 동결융해, 지하수위의 변화, 줄눈부의 펌핑 및 단차현상으로 지반지지력이 저하되면 줄눈부에 국부적 응력집중이 발생하여 하중분산응력이 저하됨은 물론 포장의 공용성 및 안전성을 크게 위협하게 된다. 따라서 시멘트콘크리트 포장을 효율적으로 유지관리하고 사용성을 확보하기 위해서는 줄눈부의 하중전달특성을 보다 엄밀히 반영할 수 있는 해석모델이 정립되어야 하며, 이를 토대로 체계적인 유지관리 시스템이 개발되어야 한다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구에서는 줄눈부의 거동을 다우얼바의 연결작용, 골재 맞물림작용 및 타이드키 작용으로 구분한 후, 포장체의 특성에 따라 이들의 영향을 포장슬래브의 구조해석에 선택적으로 반영시킬 수 있도록 해석프로그램을 개발하였다. 포장슬래브의 거동평가를 위하여 Winkler 기초모델 및 탄성지반 위에 놓인 판이론을 적용하였으며, 4절점 사각형 유한요소를 사용하여 줄눈요소의 강성 매트리스를 전 해석과정에 반영하였다. 한편, 본 연구의 해석결과를 Huang의 수치예에 비하여 Arlington 실험값에 더욱 근접된 경향을 보이므로 매우 효율적인 것으로 평가된다.
