This paper presents an analytical method which takes into account the non-linearity of individual members, and discusses some case study results. It also discusses the relationship between member non-elastic behavior and excitation duration, and the relationship between member fracture and overall structure behavior. It is clearly demonstrated that the frame already shows almost unstable behavior due to long-columnization just before the occurrence of a column fracture. Then, a column fracture immediately induces a structural collapse mechanism.

본 연구는 다양한 건설 구조물 중 휨 응력을 받는 부재인 슬래브, 거더 등에 FRP(Fiber Reinforced Polymer) 박스부재를 적용하기 위한 기초 실험적 연구이다. 조립이 가능한 FRP 부재를 제작하여 FRP 박스부재의 대형단면으로서의 연결 후 압축파괴 거동 특성을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 조건으로 실험을 수행하였다. FRP 박스부재의 상부에 충진재와 하중재하 방법 및 연결형태에 따른 압축파괴 거동 실험을 실시하였으며, 이를 이용하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과를 실험결과와 비교한 결과 강성이 약간 낮게 조사되었으나 시험체의 파괴지점에 응력이 집중되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper attempts to develop the analytical model of estimating the fatigue damage using a linear elastic fracture mechanics method. The stress history on a welding member, when a truck passed over a bridge, was defined as a block loading and the crack closure theory was used. These theories explain the influence of a load on a structure. This study undertook an analysis of the stress range frequency considering both dead load stress and crack opening stress. A probability method applied to stress range frequency distribution and the probability distribution parameters of it was obtained by Maximum likelihood Method and Determinant. Monte Carlo Simulation which generates a probability variants (stress range) output failure block loadings. The probability distribution of failure block loadings was acquired by Maximum likelihood Method and Determinant. This can calculate the fatigue reliability preventing the fatigue failure of a welding member. The failure block loading divided by the average daily truck traffic is a predictive remaining life by a day. Fatigue reliability analysis was carried out for the welding member of the bottom flange of a cross beam and the vertical stiffener of a steel box bridge by the proposed model. Results showed that the primary factor effecting failure time was crack opening stress. It was important to decide the crack opening stress for using the proposed model. Also according to the 50% reliability and 90%, 99.9% failure times were indicated.

초기균열을 갖는 대부분의 구초체는 부재크기가 증가함에 따라 강도가 저하한다. 이러한 현상을 크기효과(size effect)라고 한다. 유리, 금속, 콘크리트 동, 구조재료중에서 콘크리트는 비록 초기균열이 없더라도 이 size effect 현상을 보인다. 현존의 크기효과 법칙에 따르면 매우 큰 콘크리트 구조체는 거의 하중을 저하할 수 없다. 그러나 실제로는 초기 균열이 없는 경우 상당한 크기의 응력을 저항할 수 있다. 이러한 현상은 매우 큰 구조체와 작은 구조체는 강도기준의 적용이 합당하고, 그 중간 크기의 구조체는 비선형파괴역학의 적용이 합당함을 말한다. 이 논문에서는 비선형파괴역학에 근거하여 유도된 실험식에, 기존의 실험치를 이용하여 비선형회귀분석올 행하여 실험상수를 정함으로써 일축압축, 할열(splitting)인장 및 전단강도에 대한 실험식을 제시한다.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bar has emerged as a viable and sustainable replacement to steel in reinforced concrete (RC) under severe corrosive environment. The behavior of concrete columns reinforced with FRP bars, spirals, and hoops is an ongoing area of research. In this study, 3D nonlinear numerical modelling of circular concrete columns reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars and transversely confined with GFRP spirals were conducted using fracture-plastic model. The numerical models and experimental results are found to be in good agreement. The effectiveness of confinement was accessed through von-mises stresses, and it was found that the stresses in the concrete's core are higher with a 30 mm pitch (46 MPa) compared to a 60 mm pitch (36 MPa). The validated models are used to conduct parametric studies. In terms of axial load carrying capacity and member ductility, the effect of concrete strength, spiral pitch, and longitudinal reinforcement ratio are thoroughly investigated. The confinement effect and member ductility of a GFRP RC column increases as the spiral pitch decreases. It is also found that the confinement effect and member ductility decreased with increase in strength of concrete.

암반(Porous Rock Matrix)과 균열(fracture)에서 일차원의 이동 방정식(Migration Equation)을 3-Member Decay Chain까지 화장하고, Laplace Transform을 이용하여 초기조건이 Delta Function과 Bateman Equation인 각각에 대해 해석해를 구한다. 그 해를 이용하여 Actinide Chain 중 4n＋1과 4n＋2 Chain에서 선택된 Np$^{241}$-U$^{233}$ -Th$^{229}$ 와 U$^{234}$ -Th$^{230}$ -Ra$^{226}$ Chain의 각 핵종들의 균열에서의 농도를 상대농도로 나타낸다. 이핵종들의 지연계수(Retardation Coefficient)는 화강암에 대한 것을 사용하여 균열에서의 농도 변화를 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에 의한 결과로는 U$^{233}$ , Th$^{229}$ , Th$^{230}$ Ra$^{226}$ 같은 핵종들은 비록 초기 inventory에는 작은 양일지라도 균열과 암반에서 모핵종의 붕괴(decay)에 의해 생기므로써 처분장으로부터 먼 거리에서는 중요한 핵종이 된다는 것을 알 수 있다.

We systematically analyze the influence of fracture junction, solute transfer characteristics on transport patterns in discrete, two-dimensional fracture network models. Regular lattices and random fracture networks with power-law length distributions are considered in conjunction with particle tracking methods. Solute transfer probabilities at fracture junctions are determined from analytical considerations and from simple complete mixing and streamline routing models. For regular fracture networks, mixing conditions at fracture junctions are always dominated by either complete mixing or streamline routing end member cases. Moreover bulk transport properties such as the spreading and the dilution of solute are highly sensitive to the mixing rule. However in power-law length networks there is no significant difference in bulk transport properties, as calculated by assuming either of the two extreme mixing rules. This apparent discrepancy between the effects of mixing properties at fracture junctions in regular and random fracture networks is explained by the statistics of the coordination number and of the flow conditions at fracture intersections. We suggest that the influence of mixing rules on bulk solute transport could be important in systematic orthogonal fracture networks but insignificant in random networks.

To study the influence on fracture properties of reinforced concrete wedge splitting test specimens by the addition of reinforcement, and the restriction of steel bars on crack propagation, 7 groups reinforced concrete specimens of different reinforcement position and 1 group plain concrete specimens with the same size factors were designed and constructed for the tests. Based on the double-K fracture criterion and tests, fracture toughness calculation model which was suitable for reinforced concrete wedge splitting tensile specimens has been obtained. The results show that: the value of initial craking load Pini and unstable fracture load Pun decreases gradually with the distance of reinforcement away from specimens's top. Compared with plain concrete specimens, addition of steel bar can reduce the value of initial fracture toughness KIini, but significantly increase the value of the critical effective crack length ac and unstable fracture toughness KIun. For tensional concrete member, the effect of anti-cracking by reinforcement was mainly acted after cracking, the best function of preventing fracture initiation was when the steel bar was placed in the middle of the crack, and when the reinforcement was across the crack and located away from crack tip, it plays the best role in inhibiting the extension of crack.

This study investigated the structural behavior and field applicability of sandwich type GFRP arches with polymer mortar in core. As a result, in case of crack loading and failure loading, total strains at crown were the highest; the fracture strain at crown was 0.01690, which is 4.2 times greater than the fracture strain (0.004) of cement concrete. The 3 % deflection load was 17.42 kN, the flexural strength was $163.98{\times}10^{-3}GPa$, and the flexural elastic modulus was 11.884 GPa. From load-deflection relationship up to 3.5 % deflection, 3D analysis results and experimental values were observed to be almost identical. It was considered reasonable to set a deflection rate limit to be 3 % for structural safety purpose. The standard external flexural strength of semicircular arch used in this study was approximately 2.64 times higher than that of hume pipe (2 type standard) and tripled composite pipe. The external pressure strength at fracture was approximately 1.57 times higher than that of hume pipe. It was confirmed that the implementing semicircular arch had mechanically more advantage than the circular pipe. Optimum member thickness was 8~53 mm according to arch radius of 450~1,800 mm and cover depth of 2~10 m. It was found that the larger strength could be obtained even if the thickness of member was smaller than that of concrete structure. In field application study, figures and equations were derived for obtaining applicable cover depth and optimum member thickness according to loading conditions. These would be useful data for design and manufacture of sandwich type semicircular arch.
