The capacity of tubular truss chords subjected to concentrated reaction forces in the vicinity of the open end (i.e., the bearing region) is not directly treated by existing design specifications; although capacity equations are promulgated for related tubular joint configurations. The lack of direct treatment of bearing capacity in existing design specifications seems to represent an unsatisfactory situation given the fact that connections very often control the design of long-span tubular structures comprised of members with slender cross-sections. The case of the simple-span overhead highway sign truss is studied, in which the bearing reaction is applied near the chord end. The present research is aimed at assessing the validity of adapting existing specifications' capacity equations from related cases so as to be applicable in determining design capacity in tubular truss bearing regions. These modified capacity equations are subsequently used in comparisons with full-scale experimental results obtained from testing carried out at the University of Pittsburgh.

In damage investigation of building structures suffering from earthquake, estimation of residual seismic capacity is essential in order to access the safety of the building against aftershocks and to judge the necessity of repair and restoration. It has been proposed that an evaluation method for post-earthquake seismic capacity of reinforced concrete buildings based. on the residual energy dissipation capacity (the residual seismic capacity ratio )in lateral force-displacement curve of structural members. The proposed method was adopted in the Japanese 'Damage Level Classification Standard' revised in 200l. To evaluate the residual seismic capacity of RC column, experimental tests with positive and negative cyclic loading was carried out using RC building column specimen. Parameters used by the experiment are deformability and member proportion. From the test results, it is appropriated that the residual seismic capacity of RC buildings damaged by earthquakes is evaluated using the method in the Guideline.

내진설계는 타 설계의 요구사항, 즉 각 구조부재의 설계강도가 소요강도 이상이어야 한다는 것을 만족해야 하는 동시에 지진발생시 구조물의 항복과정을 규명하여 제시하여야 한다. 이러한 요구사항이 추가되는 이유는 타 하중과는 차별되는 지진하중의 불확실성이다. 이 연구에서는 일반교량을 해석대상교량으로 선정하고 연결부분의 설계를 수행하여 연성파괴메카니즘을 확보하는 과정을 제시하였다. 이와 같은 과정으로부터 구조부재의 강도 증가 또는 지진저감장치 도입 등의 비용증가 없이 타 설계에서 요구되는 구조부재의 강도 이내에서 내진성능을 확보할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

The structural members must be designed to control characteristics of energy absorption for protecting passengers in a car accident. Study on collapse characteristics of structural member is currently conducted in parallel with other studies on effective energy absorption capacity of structural members with diverse cross-sectional shapes and various materials. This study concerns the crashworthiness of the widely used vehicle structural members, square thin-walled tubes, which are excellent in the point of the energy absorption capacity. The absorbed energy, mean collapse load and deformation mode were analyzed for side member which absorbs most of the collision energy. To predict and control the energy absorption, controller is designed in consideration of its influence on height, thickness and width ration in this study. The absorbed energy and mean collapse load of square tubes were increased by $15{\sim}20%$ in using the controller, and energy absorbing capability of the specimen was slightly changed by change of the high controller's height.

To study the seismic performance of the all-steel buckling-restrained brace (BRB) using the novel soft steel LY315 for core member, a total of three identical BRBs were designed and a series of experimental and numerical studies were conducted. First, monotonic and cyclic loading tests were carried out to obtain the mechanical properties of LY315 steel. In addition, the parameters of the Chaboche model were calibrated based on the test results and then verified using ABAQUS. Second, three BRB specimens were tested under cyclic loads to investigate the seismic performance. The failure modes of all the specimens were identified and discussed. The test results indicate that the BRBs exhibit excellent energy dissipation capacity, good ductility, and excellent low-cycle fatigue performance. Then, a finite element (FE) model was established and verified with the test results. Furthermore, a parametric study was performed to further investigate the effects of gap size, restraining ratio, slenderness ratio of the yielding segment, and material properties of the core member on the load capacity and energy dissipation capacity of BRBs.

Truss members built-up with double angles back-to-back have monosymmetric cross-section and twisting always accompanies flexion upon the onset of buckling about the axis of symmetry. Approximate formulae for calculating the buckling capacity are presented in this paper for routine design purpose. For a member susceptible only to flexural buckling, its optimal cross-section should consist of slender plate elements so as to get larger radius of gyration. But, occurrence of twisting changes the situation owing to the weakness of thin plates in resisting torsion. Criteria for limiting the leg slenderness are discussed herein. Truss web members in compression are usually considered as hinged at both ends for out-of-plane buckling. In case one (or both) end of member is not supported laterally by bracing member, its adjoining members have to provide an elastic support of adequate stiffness in order not to underdesign the member. The stiffness provided by either compression or tension chords in different cases is analyzed, and the effect of initial crookedness of compression chord is taken into account. Formulae are presented to compute the required stiffness of chord member and to determine the effective length factor for inadequately constrained compressive diagonals.

본 연구에서는 국내기존 철근콘크리트(RC) 교각의 구조적 특성을 조사.분석하여 단면강도와 변형성능에 미치는 영향을 규명하였으며 이와같은 특성을 고려한 내진성평가절차를 제시하였다 기존 RC교각의 내진성평가를 위해서는 단면휨강도를 지배하는 구요소인 작용축력과 주철근비 및 주철근강도 주철근 항복후 부재변형성능과 전단강도를 지배하는 횡철근비 및 앵커상세 그리고 주철근 부착파괴를 결정하는 주철근의 이음부위치에 대한 상세조사가 요구된다. 국내기존 RC교각은 대부분 횡철근의 앵커가 부적절하고 주철근의 위치가 소성힌지부에 위치하고 있으므로 휨연성거동을 위한 변형성능이 충분히 확보되어있지 못하다 따라서 여기서 제시된 평가절차는 기존 연속교 고정단교각의 내진성평가를 수행하고 그에 따른 적절한 내진보강을 하여 지진에 대한 안전성확보 하는 데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, to explore the working performance of the CFST split spherical node wind power tower, two groups of CFST split spherical joint plane towers with different web wall thicknesses and a set of space systems were analyzed. The tower was subjected to a low-cycle repeated load test, and the hysteresis and skeleton curves were analyzed. ABAQUS finite element simulation was used for verification and comparison, and on this basis parameter expansion analysis was carried out. The results show that the failure mode of the wind power tower was divided into weld tear damage between belly bar, high strength bolt thread damage and belly rod flexion damage. In addition, increasing the wall thickness of the web member could render the hysteresis curve fuller. Finally, the bearing capacity of the separated spherical node wind power tower was high, but its plastic deformation ability was poor. The ultimate bearing capacity and ductility coefficient of the simulated specimens are positively correlated with web diameter ratio and web column stiffness ratio. When the diameter ratio of the web member was greater than 0.13, or the stiffness ratio γ of the web member to the column was greater than 0.022, the increase of the ultimate bearing capacity and ductility coefficient decreased significantly. In order to maximize the overall mechanical performance of the tower and improve its economy, it was suggested that the diameter ratio of the ventral rod be 0.11-0.13, while the stiffness ratio γ should be 0.02-0.022.

세장한 부재에 압축력이 작용할 때, 부재는 탄성좌굴이 발생하게 되어 급격히 내하력을 상실하고 파괴에 도달하게 된다. 이러한 현상으로 인한 부재의 파괴는 종국적으로 구조체에 위해를 가하게 되어 붕괴원인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 세장한 부재에 압축력이 작용할 경우 부재가 탄성좌굴이 발생하기 이전에 항복하도록 유도하는 장치(응력제한장치)를 개발하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 특히, 본 논문에서는 응력제한장치로서 면외저항판 방식을 제안하고 실험과 유한요소 해석을 수행하였다. 실험의 변수는 면외저항판의 두께 및 저항판의 경사도이다. 실험 및 해석결과 면외저항판 실험체는 항복후 소성영역에서 내력의 큰 저하없이 안정적인 거동을 나타내고 있어 응력제한방식으로서 유효성이 확인되었다.
