공간뼈대의 구조에 대하여 기하학적 비선형성이 고려될 수 있는 유한요소이론 및 해석법을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 가상일의 원리를 이용하여 대변형효과를 고려한 3차원 연소체의 평형방정식으로부터, 구속된(restrained warping)효과를 무시하고 유한한 회전각의 2차항의 효과를 포함하는 변위장을 도입하여 초기응력을 받는 공간뼈대요소의 증분평형방정식을 유도한다. 공간뼈대구조를 유한요소로 나누어 요소의 변위장을 요소변위 벡터에 관한 Hermitian다항식으로 나타내고 이를 평형방정식에 대입함으로써 탄성 및 가하학적인 강도행렬을 유도한다. 또한 updated Lagrangian co-rotational formulation에 근거하여, 증분변위로부터 강체회전변위와 순수변형성분을 분리시켜서 강체회전은 요소의 방향변화를 결정하고, 순수변형은 부재력증분을 산정하는 불평형하중 산정법을 제시한다. 공간뼈대구조의 횡-비틂좌굴 및 후좌굴 거동에 대한 예제들을 통하여 본 연구에 대한 해석결과와 문헌의 결과를 비교 검토함으로써 본 연구에서 제시된 이론 및 해석방법의 정당성을 입증한다.

Structures may need retrofitting as a result of design and calculation errors, lack of proper implementation, post-construction change in use, damages due to accidental loads, corrosion and changes introduced in new editions of construction codes. Retrofitting helps to compensate weakness and increase the service life. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a modern material for retrofitting steel elements. This study aims to investigate the effect of deficiency location on the axial behavior of compressive elements of Circular Hollow Section (CHS) steel short columns. The deficiencies located vertically or horizontally at the middle or bottom of the element. A total of 43 control column and those with deficiencies were investigated in the ABAQUS software. Only 9 of them tested in the laboratory. The results indicated that the deficiencies had a significant effect on the increase in axial deformation, rupture in deficiency zone (local buckling), and decrease in ductility and bearing capacity. The damages of steel columns were responsible for resistance and stiffness drop at deficiency zone. Horizontal deficiency at the middle and vertical deficiency at the bottom of the steel columns were found to be the most critical. Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) as the most effective material in retrofitting the damaged columns, significantly helped the increase in resistance and rupture control around the deficiency zone.

The structural design of the ships includes two main issues which should be checked carefully, namely the extreme structural response (yielding & buckling) and the fatigue structural response. Even if the corresponding failure modes are fundamentally different, the overall methodologies for their evaluation have many common points. Both issues require application of two main steps: deterministic calculations of hydro-structure interactions for given operating conditions on one side and the statistical post-processing in order to take into account the lifetime operational profile, on the other side. In the case of ultra large ships such as the container ships and in addition to the classical quasi-static type of structural responses the hydroelastic structural response becomes important. This is due to several reasons among which the following are the most important: the increase of the flexibility due to their large dimensions (Lpp close to 400 m) which leads to the lower structural natural frequencies, very large operational speed (> 20 knots) and large bow flare (increased slamming loads). The correct modeling of the hydroelastic ship structural response, and its inclusion into the overall design procedure, is significantly more complex than the evaluation of the quasi static structural response. The present paper gives an overview of the different tools and methods which are used in nowadays practice.

구조물이 지진과 같은 수평력을 받으면 골조의 기둥은 횡이동을 하게 되고 이 횡이동이 크면 골조는 불안정 좌굴, 초기항복, 골조전체의 강성이 감소하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 골조의 기둥이 횡이동에 의해 수평력과 축력을 동시에 받는 강골조를 대상으로하여 골조강성의 저하, 보와 기둥의 상대적인 강성비, 세장비효과, 하중조건 등을 고려한 다양한 해석모델을 상정하여 수치해석을 실시했다. 그 해석결과를 분석하여 강골조의 최대수평내력을 평가하고, 기둥의 세장비 제한치를 구하는 절차에 대해서도 검토한다. 해석에 있어서는, 골조의 $P-{\Delta}$효과를 고려해서 기발표된 저자의 탄소성해석법을 이용하여 일정한 축력하에 점증의 수평력을 골조에 가했으며, 최대내력후의 해법으로서 일반역행렬을 응용했다.

The use of wind energy resources is developing rapidly in recent decades. There is an increasing number of wind farms in high wind-velocity areas such as the Pacific Rim regions. Wind turbine towers are vulnerable to tropical cyclones and tower failures have been reported in an increasing number in these regions. Existing post-disaster failure case studies were mostly performed through forensic investigations and there are few numerical studies that address the collapse mode simulation of wind turbine towers under strong wind loads. In this paper, the wind-induced failure analysis of a conventional 65 m hub high 1.5-MW wind turbine was carried out by means of nonlinear response time-history analyses in a detailed finite element model of the structure. The wind loading was generated based on the wind field parameters adapted from the cyclone boundary layer flow. The analysis results indicate that this particular tower fails due to the formation of a full-section plastic hinge at locations that are consistent with those reported from field investigations, which suggests the validity of the proposed numerical analysis in the assessment of the performance of wind-farms under cyclonic winds. Furthermore, the numerical simulation allows to distinguish different failure stages before the dynamic collapse occurs in the proposed wind turbine tower, opening the door to future research on the control of these intermediate collapse phases.

Steel plate shear wall (SPSW) system has been increasingly used for lateral loads resisting system since 1980s when the utilization of post-buckling strength of SPSW was realized. The structural response of SPSWs largely depends on the behavior of the surrounded beams. The beams are normally required to behave in the elastic region when the SPSW fully buckled and formed the tension field action. However, most modern design codes do not specify how this requirement can be achieved. This paper presents theoretical investigation and design procedures of manually calculating the plastic flexural capacity of the beams of SPSWs and can be considered as an extension to the previous work by Qu and Bruneau (2011). The reduction in the plastic flexural capacity of beam was considered to account for the presence of shear stress that was altered towards flanges at the boundary region, which can be explained by Saint-Venant's principle. The reduction in beam web was introduced and modified based on the research by Qu and Bruneau (2011), while the shear stress in the web in this research is excluded due to the boundary effect. The plastic flexural capacity of the beams is given by the superposition of the contributions from the flanges and the web. The developed equations are capable of predicting the plastic moment of the beams subjected to combined shear force, axial force, bending moment, and tension fields induced by yielded infill panels. Good agreement was found between the theoretical results and the data from previous research for flexural capacity of beams.
