본 연구에서는 소성힌지를 고려한 단일 현장타설말뚝의 수평거동을 분석하기 위하여 Beam-Column 해석모델을 토대로 단일 현장타설말뚝 기초의 거동특성을 파악하고, 소성힌지를 고려한 최적설계법을 제안하였다. 단일 현장타설말뚝의 소성힌지를 지상부로 유도하기 위한 최적의 기둥-말뚝의 직경비를 분석하기 위해, 변단면 단일 현장타설말뚝의 단면조건에 따른 균열 휨모멘트를 산정하고 지반조건과 수평하중에 따른 말뚝의 거동을 해석하였다. 연구 결과, 최적의 단면 조건은 기둥/말뚝 직경비($D_c/D_p$)와 정규화된 수평균열하중($F/F_{Dc}=D_p$)의 관계를 나타내는 이중직선의 변곡점 이하 부분에서 산정할 수 있었으며, 이로부터 최적의 단면 조건을 제안하였다. 또한 실제 시공사례 분석을 통해, 깊이별 휨모멘트를 바탕으로 최소철근비 적용이 가능한 구간을 분석하였으며, 그 결과 말뚝길이($L_p$)로 정규화된 최소 철근비 적용이 가능한 한계깊이($L_{As=0.4%}$)는 말뚝 직경으로 정규화된 말뚝길이($L_p/D_p$)에 따라 선형적으로 감소하였으며, $L_p/D_p=17.5$ 이후부터는 일정한 값(${\simeq}0.3$)에 수렴함을 알 수 있었다.

The plastic collapse loads and their locations are predicted for a class of tapered, initially curved, and transversely corrugated cantilevered beams subjected to static tip loading. Results of both closed form and finite element solutions for several rigid perfectly plastic and elastic perfectly plastic beam models are evaluated. The governing equations are cast in nondimensional form for efficient studies of collapse load as it varies with beam geometry and the angle of the tip load. Static experiments for laboratory-scale configurations whose taper flared toward the tip, complemented the theory in that collapse occurred at points about 40% of the beams length from the fixed end. Experiments for low speed impact loading of these configurations showed that collapse occurred further from the fixed end, between the 61% and 71% points. The results may be applied to the design of safer highway guardrail terminal systems that collapse by design under vehicle impact.

The amount and configuration of transverse reinforcement are known as critical parameters that significantly affect the lateral confinement of concrete, the ductility capacity, and the plastic hinge length of RC columns. Based on test results, this study investigated the effect of the three variables on structural indexes such as neutral axis depth, lateral expansion of concrete, and ductility capacity. Five reinforced concrete column specimens were tested under cyclic flexure and shear while simultaneously subjected to a constant axial load. The columns were reinforced by two types of reinforcing steel: rectangular hoops and spiral type reinforcing bars. The variables in the test program were the shape, diameter, and yield strength of transverse reinforcement. The interactive influence of the amount of transverse reinforcement on the structural indexes was evaluated. Test results showed that when amounts of transverse reinforcement were similar, and yield strength of transverse reinforcement was 600 MPa or less, the neutral axis depth of a column with spiral type reinforcing bars was reduced by 28% compared with that of a column reinforced by existing rectangular hoops at peak strength. While the diagonal elements of spiral-type reinforcing bars significantly contributed to the lateral confinement of concrete, the strain of diagonal elements decreased with increases of their yield strength. It was confirmed that shapes of transverse reinforcement significantly affected the lateral confinement of concrete adjacent to plastic hinges. Transverse reinforcement with a yield strength exceeding 600 MPa, however, increased the neutral axis depth of normal-strength concrete columns at peak strength, resulting in reductions in ductility and energy dissipation capacity.

A method is proposed to evaluate the elastic-plastic fracture resistance curve only with load displacement records without the crack length measurement in CT specimen. This method is based on the idea that the effect of plastic deformation and the crack growth can be measured only by using a load-displacement record. If we know the reference-load curve representing the hardening of specimen, then the crack extension can be calculated by the elastic compliance determined from the load ratio. The results of this proposed method were compared to those of the elastic-plastic fracture resistance curve for the ASTM standard unloading compliance method. The experimental results for two kinds of ductile materials showed that the proposed method well simulates the material J-R curves. This method is currently applied for CT specimens. but it can be extended to the other specimen geometries.

Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of steel moment frames can prevent beam-column connections from achieving adequate plastic rotations under earthquake-induced forces. Reducing the flange-web slenderness ratios (FSR/WSR) of beams is the most effective way in mitigating local member buckling as stipulated in the latest seismic design specifications. However, existing steel moment frame buildings with beams that lack the adequate slenderness ratios set forth for new buildings are vulnerable to local member buckling and thereby system-wise instability prior to reaching the required plastic rotation capacities specified for new buildings. This paper presents results from a research study investigating the cyclic behavior of steel I-beams modified by a welded haunch at the bottom flange and reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymers at the plastic hinge region. Cantilever I-sections with a triangular haunch at the bottom flange and flange slenderness ratios higher then those stipulated in current design specifications were analyzed under reversed cyclic loading. Beam sections with different depth/width and flange/web slenderness ratios (FSR/WSR) were considered. The effect of GFRP thickness, width, and length on stabilizing plastic local buckling was investigated. The FEA results revealed that the contribution of GFRP strips to mitigation of local buckling increases with increasing depth/width ratio and decreasing FSR and WSR. Provided that the interfacial shear strength of the steel/GFRP bond surface is at least 15 MPa, GFRP reinforcement can enable deep beams with FSR of 8-9 and WSR below 55 to maintain plastic rotations in the order of 0.02 radians without experiencing any local buckling.

소성힌지 구역의 축방향변형률의 예측은 지진하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 기둥의 합리적인 연성 평가를 위하여 필요한 항목이다. 축방향변형률은 콘크리트의 유효압축강도를 저하시키고 층간 변위를 크게 할 수 있다. 기존 연구는 주로 소성힌지가 발생하는 보의 축방향변형률 예측에 국한되었지만 횡력을 받는 구조물에서는 저층부 기둥도 소성힌지가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 기둥 부재에 작용하는 축력의 크기에 따라 변화하는 축방향변형률을 예측할 수 있는 모델과 평가식이 제안되었다. 단면 해석법을 이용하여 하중이력에 따른 축방향변형률의 변화와 철근의 변형률 변화를 고찰한 후, 해석과 실험 결과를 근거로 축방향변형률 예측 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 부재 축방향변형률을 3가지 경로(재하, 재하 후 반대하중이 하중이 가해지는 구간, 동일한 부재 회전각에서 반복하중을 받을 구간)로 구분하였다. 이 연구에서 제안된 기둥 부재의 축방향변형률의 계산식은 축력비가 다른 철근콘크리트 기둥의 실제 축방향변형률을 추적하였고, 축력비의 영향을 반영하였다.

The objective of this study is to assess seismic damage potential and evaluate structural performance of columns in concrete moment frames. For this purpose the results of 3 former studies are compared. Experimental variables considered in these studies are lap-splice of longitudinal reinforcement, axial load level, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, etc. The columns in 1st story of the building are considered in these studies since the columns in 1st story shall resist largest axial force during an earthquake. Based on test results strength, ductility capacities as well as plastic hinge length are compared and discussed.

본 연구에서는 다양한 명시적 호장법을 사용하여 공간프레임의 반강접 탄소성 후좌굴 해석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 이전 연구를 발전시켜 다양한 명시적 알고리즘의 호장법과 명시적, 묵시적 해석법에 동시에 적용 가능한 반강접 탄소성 공간프레임요소를 제안하였다. 다양한 명시적 호장법은 예측단계와 수렴단계에 명시적 해석법인 동적이완법을 적용한 것을 의미한다. 따라서 명시적 호장법에는 명시적(예측단계)-명시적(예측단계) 호장법, 명시적(예측단계)-묵시적(수렴단계) 호장법, 묵시적(예측단계)-명시적(수렴단계) 호장법으로 구분된다. 또한 명시적 호장법에 적용 가능하도록 수정된 반강접 탄소성 공간프레임요소는 오일러리안 유한변형이론에 의해 강체회전변형을 고려하였기 때문에 대변위가 발생하는 기하학적 비선형 문제에 적용될 수 있고, 완전 탄소성 소성힌지 알고리즘에 의한 재료적 비선형성을 고려하였으며, 부재내부에 정적 응축된 회전 및 축방향 성분의 선형 스프링에 의해 접합부 반강접 특성을 반영하였다. 제안된 해석법을 이용하여 검증예제를 수행함으로써 본 연구에서 제안된 다양한 명시적 호장법 및 공간프레임요소의 정확성을 검증한다.

This paper presents experimental studies on reinforced concrete moment resisting frames that have engineered cementitious composite (ECC) in plastic hinge length (PHL) of beam/column members and beam-column joints. A two-story frame structure reduced by a 1:3 scale was further tested through a shake-table (seismic simulator) using multiple levels of simulated earthquake motions. One model conformed to all the ACI-318 requirements for IMRF, whereas the second model used lower-strength concrete in the beam/column members outside PHL. The acceleration time history of the 1994 Northridge earthquake was selected and scaled to multiple levels for shake-table testing. This study reports the observed damage mechanism, lateral strength-displacement capacity curve, and the computed response parameters for each model. The tests verified that nonlinearity remained confined to beam/column ends, i.e., member joint interface. Calculated response modification factors were 11.6 and 9.6 for the code-conforming and concrete strength deficient models. Results show that the RC-ECC frame's performance in design-based and maximum considered earthquakes; without exceeding maximum permissible drift under design-base earthquake motions and not triggering any unstable mode of damage/failure under maximum considered earthquakes. This research also indicates that the introduction of ECC in PHL of the beam/column members' detailing may be relaxed for the IMRF structures.
