전력 수요의 증가로 인해 송전철탑의 고용량, 대용량화가 요구되어왔지만 아직 대부분을 차지하고 있는 345kV급 송전철탑에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 현재 해석 설계되고 있는 방식은 2차원 트러스요소를 사용하여 양단은 힌지접합으로 축력만 작용하고 있는 것으로 가정한다. 이러한 방식을 3차원 트러스 요소에 적용하였을 때, 면 외로 작용하는 하중에 대해 무한변위가 발생하는 구조해석적인 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 보다 합리적인 요소 선택을 통한 구조해석 방식을 제안하기 위해 기존의 3차원 트러스요소 모델, 보요소 모델, 주주재와 수평재는 보요소로 모사하고 사재 및 기타 복재는 트러스로 모사한 보-트러스요소 모델 등 세 모델을 실제 설계 시공된 345kV급 송전철탑에 대해 설계하중 내에서 구조해석프로그램을 이용한 정적해석, 자유진동해석, 선형좌굴해석을 수행하였다. 구조해석 결과, 세 모델 모두 축력 및 축응력, 변위에서는 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 보요소모델과 보-트러스요소 모델에서 휨응력의 비율이 축응력에 대해 크게 나타났다. 자유진동해석과 탄성좌굴해석의 결과를 통해 보-트러스요소 모델이 송전철탑 설계 및 해석에 있어서 더 안전측으로 고려될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Numerical simulation of the non-linear behavior of (RC) structural walls subjected to severe earthquake ground motions requires a reliable modeling approach that includes important material characteristics and behavioral response features. The objective of this paper is to optimize a simplified method for the assessment of the seismic response and damage development analyses of an RC structural wall building using macro-element model. The first stage of this study investigates effectiveness and ability of the macro-element model in predicting the flexural nonlinear response of the specimen based on previous experimental test results conducted in UCLA. The sensitivity of the predicted wall responses to changes in model parameters is also assessed. The macro-element model is next used to examine the dynamic behavior of the structural wall building-all the way from elastic behavior to global instability, by applying an approximate Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA), based on Uncoupled Modal Response History Analysis (UMRHA), setting up nonlinear single degree of freedom systems. Finally, the identification of the global stiffness decrease as a function of a damage variable is carried out by means of this simplified methodology. Responses are compared at various locations on the structural wall by conducting static and dynamic pushover analyses for accurate estimation of seismic performance of the structure using macro-element model. Results obtained with the numerical model for rectangular wall cross sections compare favorably with experimental responses for flexural capacity, stiffness, and deformability. Overall, the model is qualified for safety assessment and design of earthquake resistant structures with structural walls.

The use of non-linear analysis of structures in a functional way for evaluating the structural seismic behavior has attracted the attention of the engineering community in recent years. The most commonly used functional method for analysis is a non-linear static method known as the "pushover method". In this study, for the first time, a cyclic pushover analysis with different loading protocols was used for seismic investigation of curved bridges. The finite element model of 8-span curved bridges in plan created by the ZEUS-NL software was used for evaluating different pushover methods. In order to identify the optimal loading protocol for use in astatic non-linear cyclic analysis of curved bridges, four loading protocols (suggested by valid references) were used. Along with cyclic analysis, conventional analysis as well as adaptive pushover analysis, with proven capabilities in seismic evaluation of buildings and bridges, have been studied. The non-linear incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method has been used to examine and compare the results of pushover analyses. To conduct IDA, the time history of 20 far-field earthquake records was used and the 50% fractile values of the demand given the ground motion intensity were computed. After analysis, the base shear vs displacement at the top of the piers were drawn. Obtained graphs represented the ability of a cyclic pushover analysis to estimate seismic capacity of the concrete piers of curved bridges. Based on results, the cyclic pushover method with ISO loading protocol provided better results for evaluating the seismic investigation of concrete piers of curved bridges in plan.

According to The Concrete Centre, in the UK shear walls have become an inseparable part of almost every reinforced concrete frame building. Recently, the construction industry has questioned the need for shear walls in low to mid-rise RC frame buildings. This study tried to address the issue in two stages: The first stage, the feasibility of removing shear walls in an existing design for a residential building where ETABS and CONCEPT software were used to investigate the structural performance and cost-effectiveness respectively. The second stage, the same structure was examined in various locations in the UK to investigate regional effects. This study demonstrated that the building without shear wall could provide adequate serviceability and strength within the safe range defined by Eurocodes. As a result, construction time, overall cost and required concrete volume are reduced which in turn enhance the sustainability of concrete construction.

Staircase is a vertical transportation element commonly used in every multistoried structure. Inclined flights of staircase are usually casted monolithically with RC frame. The structural configuration of stairs generally introduces discontinuities into the typical regular reinforced concrete frame composed of beams and columns. Inclined position of flight transfers both vertical as well as horizontal forces in the frame. Under lateral loading, staircase in a multistory RC frame building develops truss action creating a local stiffening effect. In case of seismic event the stiff area around staircase attracts larger force. Therefore, special attention is required while modeling and analyzing the building with staircase. However, in general design practice, designers usually ignore the staircase while modeling either due to ignorance or to avoid complexity. A numerical study has been conducted to examine the effect of ignoring staircase in modeling and design of RC frame buildings while they are really present in structure, may be at different locations. Linear dynamic analysis is performed on nine separate building models to evaluate influence of staircase on dynamic characteristics of building, followed by nonlinear static analysis on the same models to access their seismic performance. It is observed that effect of ignoring staircase in modeling is severe and leads to unsafe structure. Effect of location and orientation of staircase is also important in determining seismic performance of RC frame buildings.

우주 발사체 구조인 추진제 탱크는 지상운송, 발사대기, 이륙 및 비행 과정 동안 다양한 정적 및 동적 하중이 작용하여 이에 대해 구조건전성을 보유해야 하며 더불어 추진제를 많이 싣기 위해서 크고 가벼워야 한다. 이런 특성으로 본 연구의 구조 대상인 추진제 탱크 실린더는 얇은 두께를 가지게 되어 실린더 설계에서 압축하중에 의한 좌굴이 중요하게 고려된다. 하지만 기존의 수립된 NASA 및 유럽 등의 좌굴 설계 기준은 상당히 보수적인 값으로 최신 설계 및 제작 기술을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초기 결함이 반영된 다양한 해석 모델을 이용하여 비선형 좌굴 해석을 수행하고 실린더 구조의 새로운 좌굴 설계 기준 수립 방안을 제시한다. 결론적으로 공통격벽 추진제 탱크 실린더 구조의 효과적인 경량 설계가 구현될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A proper physical modeling of infilled building frame-foundation beam-soil mass interaction system is needed to predict more realistic and accurate structural behavior under static vertical loading. This is achieved via finite element method considering the superstructure, foundation and soil mass as a single integral compatible structural unit. The physical modelling is achieved via use of finite element method, which requires the use of variety of isoparametric elements with different degrees of freedom. The unbounded domain of the soil mass has been discretized with coupled finite-infinite elements to achieve computational economy. The nonlinearity of soil mass plays an important role in the redistribution of forces in the superstructure. The nonlinear behaviour of the soil mass is modeled using hyperbolic model. The incremental-iterative nonlinear solution algorithm has been adopted for carrying out the nonlinear elastic interaction analysis of a two-bay two-storey infilled building frame. The frame and the infill have been considered to behave in linear elastic manner, whereas the subsoil in nonlinear elastic manner. In this paper, the computational methodology adopted for nonlinear soil-structure interaction analysis of infilled frame-foundation-soil system has been presented.

There is a concern with worldwide deterioration of highway bridges, particularly reinforced concrete. The advantages of fibre reinforced plastic(FRP) composites over conventional materials motivate their use in highway bridges for replacement of structures. Recently, an FRP deck has been installed on a state highway, located in New York State, as an experimental project. In this paper, a systematic approach for analysis of this FRP deck bridge is presented. Multi-step linear numerical analyses have been performed using the finite element method to study the structural behavior and the possible failure mechanism of the FRP deck-superstructure system Deck's self-weight and ply orientations at the interface between steel girders and FRP deck are considered in this study. From this research, the results of the numerical analyses were corroborated with field test results. Analytical results reveal several potential failure mechanism for the FRP deck and truss bridge system The results presented in this study may be used to propose engineering design guideline for new and replacement FRP bridge deck structure.
