To secure stability and availability of Rammed Aggregate Pier method as the foundation of a structure, the shear strength characteristics according to the area replacement ratio of RAP and the relative density of in-situ ground was studied through soil laboratory tests and large direct shear tests in a model ground. As a result, the internal friction angle tends to increase in proportion to in-situ relative density(Very Loose, Loose, Medium) in composite ground formed by the same area replacement ratio of RAP and also increase in proportion to increasing the area replacement ratio(30, 40, 50%) of RAP in the same ground condition. Furthermore, the comparative analysis between the experimental value and theoretical value of the shear strength is carried out.

This paper aims to investigate the strength degradation of reinforced concrete piers wrapped with steel plates which corrode at the pier base by employing a three dimensional elasto-plastic finite element formulation. The prediction accuracy of the employed finite element analysis method is firstly verified by comparing the analytical results with test results. Then, a series of parametric studies is carried out to investigate the effects of steel plate's corrosion position along width direction, corrosion depth along plate thickness, corrosion range along width direction, and steel plate-concrete bonding degradation on the strength of the piers. It is observed that the strength degradation of the piers is closely related to steel plate's corrosion position, corrosion depth and corrosion range in the case of local corrosion on the webs. In contrast, when the base of flanges corrodes, the strength degradation of the piers is only related to steel plate's corrosion depth and corrosion range, and the influence of corrosion position on the strength degradation is very gentle. Furthermore, the strength of the piers decreases with the degradation of steel plate-concrete bonding behavior. Finally, the maximum strength of the piers obtained from numerical analysis corresponding to different bonding behavior is compared with theoretical results within an accepted error.

The hollow RC(Reinforced concrete) pier has decrease of weight and reduced of materials compared to solid RC pier. However, the hollow RC pier shows a low ductile behavior due to brittle failure of inside concrete. To overcome this problem, the internally confined hollow reinforced concrete column has been developed. In this study, the behavior of internally confined hollow RC piers were evaluated with safety ratio, ductility, total material cost, the total weight of the pier, etc. The chosen parameters for the study are hollow ratio, thickness of internal steel tube, intervals between vertical re-bars, numbers of horizontal re-bars, and strength of concrete.

The quasi static test of the steel reinforced concrete (SRC) bridge piers and rigid frame arch bridge structure with SRC piers was conducted in the laboratory, and the seismic performance of SRC piers was compared with that of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers. In the test, the failure process, the failure mechanism, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves, ductility coefficient, stiffness degradation curves and the energy dissipation curves were analyzed. According to the $M-{\Phi}$ relationship of fiber section, the three-wire type theoretical skeleton curve of the lateral force and the pier top displacement was proposed, and the theoretical skeleton curves are well consistent with the experimental curves. Based on the theoretical model, the effects of the concrete strength, axial compression ratio, slenderness ratio, reinforcement ratio, and the stiffness ratio of arch to pier on the skeleton curve were analyzed.

Seismic resisting self-centering bridge piers with high energy dissipation and negligible residual displacement after an earthquake event are focus topics of current structural engineering. The energy dissipation components of typical bridge piers are often relatively single; and exhibit a certain level of damage under earthquakes, leading to large residual displacements and low cumulative energy dissipation. In this paper, a novel socket self-centering bridge pier with a hybrid energy dissipation system is proposed. The seismic resilience of bridge piers can be improved through the rational design of annular grooves and rubber cushions. The seismic response was evaluated through the finite element method. The effects of rubber cushion thickness, annular groove depth, axial compression ratio, and lateral strength contribution ratio of rubber cushion on the seismic behavior of bridge piers are systematically studied. The results show that the annular groove depth has the greatest influence on the seismic performance of the bridge pier. Especially, the lateral strength contribution ratio of the rubber cushion mainly depends on the depth of the annular groove. The axial compression ratio has a significant effect on the ultimate bearing capacity. Finally, the seismic design method is proposed according to the influence of the above research parameters on the seismic performance of bridge piers, and the method is validated by an example. It is suggested that the range of lateral strength contribution ratio of rubber cushion is 0.028 ~ 0.053.

To secure structures from strong earthquakes occurred recently and design economically seismic isolation design is spread rapidly. Specially, frictional isolator has superiority in application to bridge because it has many advantages. however, because isolator lies between pier and girder, responses of pier and superstructure contradict each other and we need to control the two responses to minimize the bridge's failure probability. In this study, frictional coefficient and horizontal stiffness is defined as design parameters of frictional isolator. the optimal design parameters of frictional isolator to minimize the bridge's failure probability are presented according to strength of earthquake and soil conditions. The result says that optimal friction coefficient is higher as the strength of earthquake is increased. And it is also higher as the soils are more flexible. But, optimal horizontal stiffness of rubber spring is insensitive to strength of earthquake and soil condition.

본 연구에서는 현수교의 선박충돌해석을 위한 설계선박을 결정하기 위하여 선박충돌위험도해석을 수행한다. 선박충돌에 대한 설계선박을 결정하기 위하여 AASHTO 설계기준에서 제시한 3개의 선박충돌 설계방법 중 확률기반 해석방법인 Method II를 사용한다. 선박충돌 위험에 노출된 각각의 교각에 대해 선박충돌위험도 평가를 하여 교각의 충돌설계수평강도를 결정한다. 해석과정은 반복적인 것으로 교량부재의 충돌저항강도를 가정하고 연간파괴빈도를 계산하여 허용기준이 만족하도록 설계 변수를 수정한다. 허용기준은 예상연간파괴빈도에 근거한 가중치를 이용하여 교각에 할당한다. 해석결과에서 안전성과 경제성을 얻기 위해 이 할당방법을 주탑집중 할당방법과 비교한다. 비록 주탑집중 할당방법이 주탑에 비해 과대평가되는 교각의 설계수평강도를 적절히 수정할 경우 보다 경제적인 결과를 가져오지만, 가중치에 의한 할당방법이 설계인자의 특성을 정량적으로 고려하기 때문에 더 합리적인 것으로 보인다. 그리고 선박충돌위험도 평가로부터 얻어지는 충돌설계수평강도에 상응하는 각각의 교각에 대한 설계선박이 결정된다. 같은 교량에 대해서도 충돌설계수평강도가 수로 및 교량의 특성과 선박통행량에 따라 상당히 변화한다. 따라서 허용기준의 할당과 설계선박 선정에 대한 많은 연구가 요구된다.

중공 RC 교각은 중실 RC 교각에 비해 자중의 감소 및 재료 절감에 대한 장점을 가진다. 그러나 중공 RC 교각은 안쪽면의 취성파괴로 인하여 낮은 연성 거동을 할 가능성이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 중공 부재 내의 콘크리트 3축 구속 상태로 존재하게 하는 내부 구속 중공 RC 교각이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 내부 구속 중공 RC 교각의 매개변수(중공비, 내부강관두께, 횡방향 철근 간격, 종방향 철근 개수, 콘크리트 강도)변화에 따른 안전율, 연성도, 재료비 및 교각 총 중량에 대한 거동 특성을 파악하였다. 매개변수 변화에 따른 내부 구속 RC 교각의 거동 특성 결과 내부 강관 두께는 최소한의 내부강관 두께를 적용하는 것이 효과 적인 것으로 파악되었다.

In this study, pull box members were designed by finite element analysis of a steel plate covering a pull box to secure its safety on the landing pier dedicated to the large research survey ship. It was assumed that the maximum load is due to the 250 tonf class crane used for unloading work when the working environment in the upper part of the landing pier was considered. The safety of the pull box was evaluated by the comparison between the yield strength of the steel plate and the result of stress analysis on the steel plate due to the crane load. It was found that the stress at the plate from the crane load exceeded the yield strength of the steel(205MPa) when the upper part of the pull box was protected by a $1950{\times}1950mm$ steel plate cover. In order to compensate for this, a concrete filled steel tube(CFT) column with a diameter of 150 mm and a steel thickness of 10 mm was reinforced at the center of the plate, and the finite element analysis was carried out. However, the maximum stress at the steel plate was higher than the yield strength of the steel in some load cases so that it was tried to find appropriate thickness of the steel plate and diameter of the CFT columns. Finally, the analysis results showed that the safety of the pull box was secured when the thickness of the steel plate and the diameter of the CFT column were increased to 30mm and 180mm, respectively.
