This paper presents a new structural system to use as retaining walls. In civil works, there is a general trend to use traditional reinforced concrete (RC) retaining walls to resist soil pressure. Despite their good resistance, RC retaining walls have some disadvantages such as need for huge temporary formworks, high dense reinforcing, low construction speed, etc. In the present work, a composite wall with only one steel plate (steel-concrete) is proposed to address the disadvantages of the RC walls. In the proposed system, steel plate is utilized not only as tensile reinforcement but also as a permanent formwork for the concrete. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed SC composite system, an experimental program that includes nine SC composite wall specimens is developed. In this experimental study, the effects of different parameters such as distance between shear connectors, length of shear connectors, concrete ultimate strength, use of compressive steel plate and compressive steel reinforcement are investigated. In addition, a 3D finite element (FE) model for SC composite walls is proposed using the finite element program ABAQUS and load-displacement curves from FE analyses were compared against results obtained from physical testing. In all cases, the proposed FE model is reasonably accurate to predict the behavior of SC composite walls under out-of-plane loads. Results from experimental work and numerical study show that the SC composite wall system has high strength and ductile behavior under flexural loads. Furthermore, the design equations based on ACI code for calculating out-ofplate flexural and shear strength of SC composite walls are presented and compared to experimental database.

After the large destruction of Lisbon due to the 1755 earthquake, the city had to be almost completely rebuilt. In this context, an innovative structural solution was implemented in new buildings, comprising internal timber framed walls which, together with the floors timber elements, constituted a 3-D framing system, known as "cage", providing resistance and deformation capacity for seismic loading. The internal timber framed masonry walls, in elevated floors, are constituted by a timber frame with vertical and horizontal elements, braced with diagonal elements, known as Saint Andrew's crosses, with masonry infill. This paper describes an experimental campaign to assess the in-plane cyclic behaviour of those so called "frontal" walls. A total series of 4 tests were conducted in 4 real size walls. Two models consist of the simple timber frames without masonry infill, and the other two specimens have identical timber frames but present masonry infill. Experimental characterization of the in-plane behaviour was carried out by static cyclic shear testing with controlled displacements. The loading protocol used was the CUREE for ordinary ground motions. The hysteretic behaviour main parameters of such walls subjected to cyclic loading were computed namely the initial stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity.

Lightweight metallic truss structures with open, periodic cell are currently being investigated because of their multi-functionality such as thermal management and load bearing. The Kagome truss PCM has been proved that it has higher resistance to plastic buckling, more plastic deformation energy and lower anisotropy than other truss PCMs. The subject of this paper is an examination of the failure mechanism of Wire woven Bulk Kagome(WBK). To address this issue, the out-of-plane compressive responses of the WBK has been measured and compared with theoretical and finite element (FE) predictions. For the experiment, 2 multi-layered WBK are fabricated and 3 specimens are prepared. For the theoretical analysis, the brazed joints of each wire in WBK are modeled as the pin-joint. Then, the peak stress of compressive behavior and elastic modulus are calculated based on the equilibrium equation and energy method. The mechanical structure with five by five cells on the plane are constructed is modeled using the commercial code, PATRAN 2005. and the analysis is achieved by the commercial FE code ABAQUS version 6.5 under the incremental theory of plasticity.

According to deformation features of pre-twisted bar, its elastic bending and torsion buckling equation is developed in the paper. The equation indicates that the bending buckling deformations in two main bending directions are coupled with each other, bending and twist buckling deformations are coupled with each other as well. However, for pre-twisted bar with dual-axis symmetry cross-section, bending buckling deformations are independent to the twist buckling deformation. The research indicates that the elastic torsion buckling load is not related to the pre-twisted angle, and equals to the torsion buckling load of the straight bar. Finite element analysis to pre-twisted bar with different pre-twisted angle is performed, the prediction shows that the assumption of a plane elastic bending buckling deformation curve proposed in previous literature (Shadnam and Abbasnia 2002) may not be accurate, and the curve deviates more from a plane with increasing of the pre-twisting angle. Finally, the parameters analysis is carried out to obtain the relationships between elastic bending buckling critical capacity, the effect of different pre-twisted angles and bending rigidity ratios are studied. The numerical results show that the existence of the pre-twisted angle leads to "resistance" effect of the stronger axis on buckling deformation, and enhances the elastic bending buckling critical capacity. It is noted that the "resistance" is getting stronger and the elastic buckling capacity is higher as the cross section bending rigidity ratio increases.

This article examines the scale effect of the flow characteristics, resistance and propulsion performance on a 317k VLCC. The turbulent flows around a ship in both towing and self-propulsion conditions are analyzed by solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation together with the application of Reynolds stress turbulence model. The computations are carried out in both model- and full-scale. A double-body model is applied for the treatment of free surface. An asymmetric body-force propeller is used. The speed performances including resistance and propulsion factors are obtained from two kinds of methods. One is to analyze the computational results in model scale through the revised ITTC' 78 method. The other is directly to analyze the computational results in full scale. Based on the computational predictions, scale effects of the resistance and the self-propulsion factors including form factor, thrust deduction fraction, effective wake fraction and various efficiencies are investigated. Scale effects of the streamline pattern, hull pressure and local flow characteristics including x-constant sections, propeller and center plane, and transom region are also investigated. This study presents a useful tool to hull-form and propeller designers, and towing-tank experimenters to take the scale effect into consideration.

The present paper presents a study on the behavior and design of corrugated web steel beams with and without web openings. In the literature, the web opening problem in steel beams was dealt with mostly for steel beams with plane web plates and research on the effect of an opening on a corrugated web was found out to be very limited. The present study deals mainly with the effect of web openings on the transverse load carrying capacity of steel beams with sinusoidally corrugated webs. A general purpose finite element program (ABAQUS) was used. Simply supported corrugated web beams of 2 m length and with circular web openings at quarter span points were considered. These points are generally considered to be the optimum locations of web openings for steel beams. Various cases were analyzed including the size of the openings and the corrugation density which is a function of the magnitude and length of the sine wave. Models without web holes were also analyzed and compared with other cases which were all together examined in terms of load-deformation characteristics and ultimate web shear resistance.

In this paper, wake equalizing duct (WED) form optimization was carried out using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. A WED is a ring-shaped flow vane with a foil-type cross-section fitted to a hull in front of the upper propeller area. The main advantage of a WED is the power savings resulting from the uniformity of the velocity distribution on the propeller plane, a reduction in the flow separation at the aft-body, and lift generation with a forward force component on the foil section. This paper intends to evaluate these functions and find an optimized WED form for minimizing the viscous resistance and equalizing the wake distribution. In the optimization process, the study uses four WED parameters: the angle of the section, longitudinal location, and angles of the axes for the half rings against the longitudinal and transverse planes of the ship. KRISO 300K VLCC2 (KVLCC2) is chosen as an example ship to demonstrate the WED optimization. The optimization procedure uses genetic algorithms (GAs), a gradient-based optimizer for the refinement of the solution, and Non-dominated Sorting GA-II(NSGA-II) for Multiobjective Optimization. The results show that the optimized WED can reduce the viscous resistance at the expense of the uniformity of the wake distribution.

The computational prediction method of speed performance for a ship with vortex generators is proposed. The Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation has been solved together with the application of Reynolds stress turbulence model. The computations are carried out under identical conditions of the experimental method, i.e., towing and self-propulsion calculations without and with vortex generators. The speed performance in full scale is obtained through analyzing the computational results in model scale according to the revised model-ship performance analysis method of ITTC'78 with considering the vortex generators into account. The characteristics of resistance, self-propulsion and wake characteristics on the propeller plane are investigated. The proposed computational prediction clearly shows the effect of vortex generators and can be applicable to the design tool for vortex generators.

본 논문은 강교량 부재에 번번하게 사용되는 용접상세로 비교적 낮은 피로강도를 보이는 부재에 대해 실험과 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 측정응력을 고려해보면, 피로균열은 복부에 연결되는 거셋판의 필렛용접 지단부에서 시작하였으며, 용접단면의 기하학적 조건과 불연속성으로 인하여 집중응력이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 비드단면의 기하학적 형상을 고려한 FEM 모델의 해석결과와 동일한 위치에서 게이지에 의한 측정응력은 둘다 비슷한 수준의 응력집중이 용접지단부에서 발생하고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 피로실험 결과를 AASHTO와 JSSC의 피로설계기준과 비교한 결과, 80mm와 150mm 부착 시험편 모두에서 AASHTO의 D와 E등급, JSSC의 F와 G등급을 만족하거나 상회하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, WG1와 WG3 시험편은 AASHTO와 JSSC의 S-N선도 보다 완만한 -0.3의 기울기를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 그물을 그것의 영역권 내로 물을 유입한 후 영역권 밖으로 투과시키는 하나의 유공성 구조물로 간주하고, 벽 면적이 S되는 그물이 유속 v에서 받는 저항 R을 $R=kSv^2$으로 취하여, 레이놀즈수를 $R_e$, 그물 입구의 단면적을 $S_m$, 흐름에 수직인 평면에 대한 그물의 총 투영면적을 $S_m$이라 할 때 저항계수 k를 $$k=c\;Re^{-m}(\frac{S_n}{S_m})n(\frac{S_n}{S})$$으로 표시한 후, 지금까지 행해진 평면 그물감에 대한 저항 실험 결과들을 이용하여 이 식의 타당성과 각계수 값을 함께 조사하였다. 조사 결과, 발의 지름이 d, 그물코의 크기가 21, 전개각이 $2\varphi$ 그물감의 $R_e$에 관한 대표치수를 그물코의 면적에 대한 발의 체적의 비 $\lambda$, 즉 $$\lambda={\frac{\pi\;d^2}{21\;sin\;2\varphi}$$로 택하였을 때, c와 m의 값은 각각 $240(kg\;\cdot\;sec^2/m^4)$ 및 0.1로 일정해졌고, n의 합은 1.2로서 1.0보다 컸기 때문에 매듭과 발에서 생기는 반류가 그물코 속으로의 물의 투과를 나쁘게 하여 저항을 증대시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 반면, $R_e$가 커서 그 영향이 무시되는 경우는 $cR_e\;^{-m}$의 값이 상수가 되는데, 그 값은 흐름에 대한 그물감의 영각 $\theta$가 $ 45^{\circ}<\theta\leq90^{\circ}$의 구간에 있을 때 100$(kg\cdot sec^2/m^4)$으로 주어졌고, $ 0^{\circ}<\theta\leq45^{\circ}$의 구간에 있을 때는 후류의 영향 때문에 $100(S_m/S)^{0.6}\;(kg\cdot\;sec^2/m^4)$으로 주어 졌다. 그런데, 평면 그물감에 대 한 $S_m$ 및 $S_n$의 값은 각각 $$S_m=S\;sin\theta$$ 및 $$S_n=\frac{d}{I}\;\cdot\;\frac{\sqrt{1-cos^2\varphi cos^2\theta}} {sin\varphi\;cos\varphi} \cdot S$$로 주어지므로, 이들과 상기 c, m 및 n 값을 이용하면 평면 그물감의 저항계수 k가 구해지는데, $\theta=0^{\circ}$인 경우는 저항 특성 자체가 변하여 k가 그물감 표면의 조도에 따라 달라졌으므로 $$k=9(\frac{d}{I\;cos\varphi})^{0.8}$$으로 주어졌다. 그러나, 이상의 결과를 실제 그물에 적용할 때는 $\theta=0^{\circ}$ 때의 것은 고려하지 않아도 되고, 전기한 c 및 m 값도 불충분한 자료에 의한 것들이기 때문에 $R_e$의 영향이 무시되는 경우의 것만을 이용하면, 그물 각부의 $\theta$가 $45^{\circ}<\theta\leq90^{\circ}$의 구간 또는 $0^{\circ}<\theta\leq45^{\circ}$의 구간에 들어오는 그물의 저항계수 $k(kg\cdot sec^2/m^4)$는 $$k=100(\frac{S_n}{S_m})^{1.2}\;(\frac{S_m}{S})$$ 또는 $$k=100(\frac{S_n}{S_m})^{1.2}\;(\frac{S_m}{S})^{1.6}$$으로 주어진다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
