Large Eddy Simulations (LES) were carried out to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a rectangular cylinder with side ratio B/D=5 at Reynolds number Re=22,000 (based on cylinder thickness). Particular attention was devoted to the effects of velocity shear in the oncoming flow. Time-averaged and unsteady flow patterns around the cylinder were studied to enhance understanding of the effects of velocity shear. The simulation results showed that the Strouhal number has no significant variation with oncoming velocity shear, while the peak fluctuation frequency of the drag coefficient becomes identical to that of the lift coefficient with increase in velocity shear. The intermittently-reattached flow that features the aerodynamics of the 5:1 rectangular cylinder in non-shear flow becomes more stably reattached on the high-velocity side, and more stably separated on the low-velocity side. Both the mean and fluctuating drag coefficients increase slightly with increase in velocity shear. The mean and fluctuating lift and moment coefficients increase almost linearly with velocity shear. Lift force acts from the high-velocity side to the low-velocity side, which is similar to that of a circular cylinder but opposite to that of a square cylinder under the same oncoming shear flow.

하도의 흐름 저항, 측벽 보정, 유사량, 하도 침식과 퇴적, 하도 설계 등의 수리학적 문제는 하상전단응력의 분포와 밀접한 관계가 있으나 하상전단응력 분포를 측정하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 간편하게 하상전단응력을 측정할 수 있는 프레스톤튜브를 이용하여 복단면의 하도의 하상전단응력 분포를 측정하고 수심비에 따른 전단응력분포 특성을 고찰하였다. 이를 위해 프레스톤튜브를 제작하여 검정실험을 통해 검정식을 개발하였다. 실험은 5가지 수심비 조건에 대해서 수행하여 전단응력분포를 측정하였다. 복단면 하도의 전단응력분포 특성은 기존 실험연구와 대체로 일치하였으며, 레이놀즈수 증가로 발생하는 전단응력의 변동성, 주수로 전단응력의 변곡점 형성, 홍수터 접합부 부근 전단응력 분포 특성 등에서 차이점을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 프레스톤튜브를 이용한 하상전단응력측정 적용성을 확인하였으며 레이놀즈수와 수심비에 따른 복단면 하도의 전단응력분포 특성을 제시하였다.

This paper presented the characteristics of shear strength of domestic municipal wastes including S landfill wastes. A series of large direct shear tests were peformed with waste specimens sampled from S landfill located in middle area of domestic land. Investigated items were cohesion and internal friction angle of shear strength parameter. The test result was compared with existing test data. The research results showed that cohesion 0.1296∼0.1340kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and angle of friction 22.1$^{\circ}$∼25.3$^{\circ}$for S landfill wastes, cohesion 0∼0.381kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and friction angle 22.1$^{\circ}$∼41.3$^{\circ}$ for domestic landfill wastes.

During earthquake, the motion of ground is affected significantly by source characteristics, source-to-site path properties and local site conditions. Due to the influence of local soil conditions different places experience distinctive amplitude of surface ground motion. Ground response analysis of a specific site utilizing the borehole information at different locations is done in present study. The ground motion with the highest peak ground acceleration for this site obtained from the ground response analysis is used in finite element soil-structure interaction analysis of multi-storey shear wall buildings with various positions of shear walls. The variation in seismic response of buildings and advantageous position of shear wall are determined. The study reveals that providing shear wall at the core of buildings at the specific site is advantageous among all shear wall configurations considered.

Results are presented of the cyclic loading tests of there low-rise shear wall assembligies using high strength concrete. The possibilities of achieving an acceptable level of energy dissipation in one story shear walls, mainly by flexural yielding, are examined. Mechanisms of flexural and shear resistance are reviewed with emphasis on aspects of sliding shear. Detrimental effects of sliding shear are demonstrated together with improvement achieved by use of diagonal wall reinforcements. It is postulated that with suitably arranged diagonal wall reinforcements a predominantly flexural response mode with good energy dissipation characteristics can be achieved in low-rise shear walls.

Shear modulus has been recognized as one of the important soil properties in dynamic analysis of ground and can be calculated from in situ measurement of shear wave velocity. Field seismic tests are the most accurate but expensive methods to investigate dynamic ground characteristics. Due to that reason, empirical equations for estimating the shear wave velocity are widely used rather than conducting in-situ tests. The most common equations are based on the N value obtained in conjuctions with a standard penetration test. In this paper, the field datas of standard penetration test and suspension PS logging measured in 126 sites of Korea were summarized and the correlation equations between N value and shear wave velocity are suggested.

The effect of vibration on the viscosity of a shear-thinning fluid was investigated with a newly designed pressure-scanning capillary viscometer. The viscometer was designed to measure non-Newtonian viscosity continuously over a range of shear rates at a time. Low frequency vibration was applied perpendicularly to the direction of the flow. The effect of the transversal vibration was investigated for both Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian fluids. The experimental results showed that the vibration had no effect on the viscosity of the Newtonian fluids. However, the vibration caused a significant reduction of the shear-thinning fluid viscosity. The viscosity reduction was strongly dependent on both vibration frequency and shear rate. In addition, the viscosity reduction was affected by the amplitude of vibration, and, the bigger amplitude applied, the more viscosity reduction occurred.

This paper deals with the dynamic responses of the multi-span continuous bridge with longitudinal shear keys. It is motivated by a need to understand the effects of longitudinal shear keys which may be used for the reduction of the longitudinal seismic force in continuous bridges. The results show that (1) The force reduction of fixed pier is proportional to the ratio of gap size and elastic maximum displacement of the bridges without shear keys ; (2) The thermal movement has little effect on the response of the continuous bridges with shear keys. Also the simplified equation is proposed to calculate the maximum response of the continuous bridges with longitudinal shear keys. The equation requires only the elastic analysis results of the bridge and the gap size between superstructure and shear keys.

In this scientific work, an improved analytical solution for adhesive stresses in a concrete beam bonded with the FRP plate is developed by including the effect of the adherend shear deformations. The analysis is based on the deformation compatibility approach where both the shear and normal stresses are assumed to be invariant across the adhesive layer thickness. The shear stress distribution is supposed to be parabolic across the depth of the adherends in computing the adhesive shear stress and Timoshenko's beam theory is employed in predicting adhesive normal stress to consider the shear deformation. Numerical results from the present analysis are presented both to demonstrate the advantages of the present solution over existing ones and to illustrate the main characteristics of adhesive stress distributions.

Perforated shear connectors currently used in composite steel and concrete structures are described and evaluated. Modifications of the perforated connector suitable for common use injavascript:confirm_mark('abe', '1'); civil and bridge engineering are proposed. The connectors were tested in laboratories of CTU Prague for shear load capacity. Push tests of connectors with 32 mm openings and with 60 mm openings, both in normal and lightweight concrete of different strength characteristics and with different transverse reinforcement, were carried out. The experimental study also dealt with the connector height and parallel arrangement of two connectors and their influence on shear resistance. While extensive tests with static loading were carried out, fatigue tests under repeated loading are still in progress. After statistical evaluation of the experimental results and comparisons with other available data the authors developed reasonable shear resistance formulas for all proposed arrangements.
