Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) applications in the structural engineering field include concrete-FRP composite systems, where FRP components are either attached to or embedded into concrete structures to improve their structural performance. This paper presents the results of an analytical study conducted using finite element model (FEM) to simulate the behavior of three-points load beam reinforced with GFRP and/or steel bars. To calibrate the FEM, a small-scale experimental program was carried out using six reinforced concrete beams with $200{\times}200mm$ cross section and 1000 mm length cast and tested under three point bending load. The six beams were divided into three groups, each group contained two beams. The first group was a reference beams which was cast without any reinforcement, the second group concrete beams was reinforced using GFRP, and the third group concrete beams was reinforced with steel bars. Nonlinear finite element simulations were executed using ANSYS software package. The difference between the theoretical and experimental results of beams vertical deflection and beams crack shapes were within acceptable degree of accuracy. Parametric study using the calibrated model was carried out to evaluate two parameters (1) effect of number and position of longitudinal main bars on beam behavior; (2) performance of concrete beam with composite longitudinal reinforcement steel and GFRP bars.

본 연구에서는 f/L비가 다른 CFT 트러스 거더의 구조거동에 관한 실험 및 해석적 연구를 수행하기 위해서 2개의 실험체를 제작하였고, CFT 트러스 거더의 구조특성을 평가하기 위하여 휨실험을 수행하였다. ABAQUS에 의한 비선형 유한요소해석을 통해서 축력과 모멘트를 받는 CFT 부재의 비선형 재료모델을 비교분석하였다. CFT 부재의 구속 콘크리트 및 강재의 응력-변형률 모델은 많은 연구자들에 의해서 제시되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 Mander, Sakino, Han, Susantha 및 Ellobody 등이 제안한 구속 콘크리트의 응력-변형률 모델을 적용하여 비선형해석을 수행하였고, 해석결과를 통해서 CFT 트러스 거더의 하중-처짐 관계, 하중-변형률 관계 등을 비교하였다. 하중-처짐 관계에서 Mander와 Susantha의 모델을 적용한 해석결과는 실험결과보다 약 12.0~13.8% 높은 하중을 예측하며, Sakino의 모델은 실험결과보다 약 7.6% 높은 하중을 예측하였다. Han과 Ellobody의 모델은 실험결과보다 약 0.2~1.2% 높은 하중을 예측하여 실험치와 가장 잘 맞는 결과를 보였다. 그러나 각 연구자의 응력-변형률 모델을 적용한 비선형 해석을 통해 산정된 하중-변형률 관계는 하중-처짐 관계와는 반대로 안전측의 결과를 보여 전반적으로 실험치보다 큰 수준의 변형률을 보였다.

인간동력항공기의 날개는 고세장비의 형상을 가지고 있어 큰 굽힘변위가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 고세장비 형상의 날개가 가지는 구조적인 한계를 붙임각을 변경함으로써 개선하고자 하였다. 날개의 익형 및 단면형상을 고정시킨 후 동일 수준의 양력 발생을 만족시킨다는 전제하에 붙임각의 변경에 따른 날개 끝단의 굽힘변위 변화 경향을 관측하였다. 이를 위해 유한날개의 양력, 항력, 모멘트 하중을 날개의 각 섹션에 분포시켰다. 그리고 EDISON의 "geometrically exact beam (GEB)" 프로그램과 "Variational Asymptotic Beam Sectional Analysis (VABS)" 단면해석 프로그램을 사용하여 변경된 설계안의 구조 안전도를 평가하였다. 또한, 다물체 동역학 해석 프로그램 DYMORE를 이용하여 본 논문에서 예측한 날개의 끝단 변위 예측값을 비교 검증하였다.

The research presented in this paper analytically examines the fire performance of flat plate buildings. The modeling parameters for the mechanical and thermal properties of materials are calibrated from relevant test data to minimize the uncertainties involved in analysis. The calibrated models are then adopted to perform a nonlinear finite element simulation on a flat plate building subjected to fire. The analysis examines the characteristics of slab deflection, in-plane deformation, membrane force, bending moment redistribution, and slab rotational deformation near the supporting columns. The numerical simulation enables the understanding of structural performance of flat plate under elevated temperature and, more importantly, identifies the high risk of punching failure at slab-column connections that may trigger large-scale failure in flat plate structures.

This paper presents a procedure to minimize the cost of materials of cable-stayed bridges with composite box girder and concrete tower. Two sets of iterations are included in the proposed procedure. The first set of iteration performs the structural analysis for a cable-stayed bridge. The second set of iteration performs the optimization process. The design is formulated as a general mathematical problem with the cost of the bridge as the objective function and bending forces, shear forces, fatigue stresses, buckling and deflection as constraints. The constraints are developed based on the Canadian National Standard CAN/CSA-S6-88. The finite element method is employed to perform the complicated nonlinear structural analysis of the cable-stayed bridges. The internal penalty function method is used in the optimization process. The limit states design method is used to determine the load capacity of the bridge. A computer program written in FORTRAN 77 is developed and its validity is verified by several practical-sized designs.

Dynamic response of a laminated porous concrete beam reinforced by nanoparticles subjected to harmonic transverse dynamic load is investigated considering structural damping. The effective nanocomposite properties are evaluated on the basis of Mori-Tanaka model. The concrete beam is modeled by the sinusoidal shear deformation theory (SSDT). Utilizing nonlinear strains-deflection, energy relations and Hamilton's principal, the governing final equations of the concrete laminated beam are calculated. Utilizing differential quadrature method (DQM) as well as Newmark method, the dynamic displacement of the concrete laminated beam is discussed. The influences of porosity parameter, nanoparticles volume percent, agglomeration of nanoparticles, boundary condition, geometrical parameters of the concrete beam and harmonic transverse dynamic load are studied on the dynamic displacement of the laminated structure. Results indicated that enhancing the nanoparticles volume percent leads to decrease in the dynamic displacement about 63%. In addition, with considering porosity of the concrete, the dynamic displacement enhances about 2.8 time.

This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations on mechanical properties of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with four types of steel fibers; micro steel (MS), crimped (C), round crimped (RC) and hooked-end (H), in two fiber contents of 1% and 2% (by volume) and two lengths of 13 and 30 mm. Compression, direct tension, and four-point bending tests were carried out on four types of specimens (prism, cube, dog-bone and cylinder), to study tensile and flexural strength, fracture energy and modulus of elasticity. Results were compared with UHPC specimens without fibers, as well as with available equations for the modulus of elasticity. Specimens with MS fibers had the best performance for all mechanical properties. Among macro fibers, RC had better overall performance than H and C fibers. Increased fibers improved all mechanical properties of UHPFRC, except for modulus of elasticity, which saw a negligible effect (mostly less than 10%). Moreover, nonlinear finite element simulations successfully captured flexural response of UHPFRC prisms. Finally, nonlinear regression models provided reasonably well predictions of flexural load-deflection behavior of tested specimens (coefficient of correlation, R² over 0.90).

In this paper, the procedure of generation and application of nonlinear wave loads for structural design of large container carrier was described. Ship motion and wave load was calculated by modified strip method. Pressure acting on wetted hull surface was calculated taking into account of relative hull motion to the wave. Design wave height was determined based on the most sensitive wave length considering rule vertical wave bending moment at head sea or fellowing sea condition. And the enforced heeling angie concept which was introduced by Germanischer Lloyd (GL) classification had been used to simulate high torsional moment in way of fore hold parts similar to actual sea going condition. Using wave load generated from this dynamic load calculation, FE analyses were performed. With this result, yielding, buckling, hatch diagonal deflection and fatigue strength of hatch corners were reviewed based on the requirement of GL classification. The results of FE analysis show good compatibility with GL classification.

This paper presents a simplified model to capture the nonlinear behavior of steel frames depending on the spread of plasticity method. New interaction formulae were derived to evaluate the plastic strength for I-shaped steel sections under uniaxial bending moment and axial compression load. Also, new empirical formulae were derived to evaluate the tangent stiffness modulus of steel I-shaped cross-sections considering the effect of the residual stresses suggested by the specifications in European Convention for Construction Steelworks (ECCS). The secant stiffness which depends on the tangent modulus is used to evaluate the internal forces. Based on stiffness matrix method, a finite element analysis program was developed for the nonlinear analysis of space steel frames using the derived formulae. Comparison between the proposed model results with those given by the fiber model shows very good agreement. Numerical examples were introduced to verify, check the accuracy, and evaluate the efficiency of the proposed model. The analysis results show that the new proposed model is accurate and able to minimize the solution time.
