Free vibration characteristics of cantilevered laminated composite beams with a transverse non0propagating open carck are investigated. In the present analysis a special ply-angle distribution referred to as asymmetric stiffness configuration inducing the elastic coupling between chord-wise bending and extension is considered. The open crack is modelled as an equivalent rotational spring whose spring constant is calculated on the basis of fracture mechanics of composite material structures. Governing equations of a composite beam with a open crack are derived via Hamilton's Principle and Timoshenko beam theory encompassing transverse shear and rotary inertia effect. the effects of various parameters such as the ply angle, fiber volume fraction, crack depth, crack position and transverse shear on the free vibration characteristics of the beam with a crack is highlighted. The numerical results show that the natural frequencies obtained from Timoshenko beam theory are always lower than those from Euler beam theory. The presence of intrinsic cracks in anisotropic composite beams modifies the flexibility and in turn free vibration characteristics of the structures. It is revealed that non-destructive crack detection is possible by analyzing the free vibration responses of a cracked beam.

The paper presents a model to calculate reinforcement strain using measured crack width in members under applied tension, flexure, and/or shear stress. Crack mapping using a new type of distributed coaxial cable sensors for health monitoring of large-scale civil engineering infrastructure was recently proposed and developed by the authors. This paper shows the results and performance of such sensors mounted on near surface of two flexural beams and a large scale reinforced concrete box girder that was subjected to cyclic combined shear and torsion. The main objectives of this health monitoring study was to correlate the sensor's response to strain in the member, and show that magnitude of the signal's reflection coefficient is related to increases in applied load, repeated cycles, cracking, and reinforcement yielding. The effect of multiple adjacent cracks, and signal loss was also investigated. The results shown in this paper are an important step in using the sensors for crack mapping and determining reinforcement strain for in-situ structures.

The bonding characteristics of MLCCs (multi layer ceramic capacitor, C1608) lead-free solder (SAC305) joints were evaluated through thermal shock test ($-40^{\circ}C{\sim}125^{\circ}C$, total 1,800 cycle). After the test, IMCs( intermetallic compounds) growth and cracks were verified, also shear strengths were measured for degradation of solder joints. In addition, The thermal stress distributions at solder joints were analyzed to compare the solder joints changes before and after according to thermal shock test by FEA (finite elements analysis). We considered the effects of IMCs growth at solder joints. As results, the bonding characteristics degradation was occurred according to initial crack, crack propagations and thermal stress concentration at solder-IMCs interface, when the IMCs grown to solder inside.

In this work, an experimental research has been performed on Steel Fiber-Steel Reinforced Concrete (SFSRC)specimens subjected to four-point bending tests to evaluate the feasibility of mutual replacement of steel fibers and conventional reinforcement through studying failure modes, load-deflection curves, stiffness of characteristic points, stiffness degradation curves and damage analysis. The variables considered in this experiment included steel fiber volume percentage with and without conventional reinforcements (stirrups or steel fibers) with shear span depth ratios of S/D=2.5 and 3.5. Experimental results revealed that increasing the volume percentage of steel fiber decreased the creation and propagation of shear and bond cracks, just like shortening the stirrups spacing. Higher crack resistance and suturing ability of steel fiber can improve the stability of its bearing capacity. Both steel fibers and stirrups improved the stiffness and damage resistance of specimens where stirrups played an essential role and therefore, the influence of steel fibers was greatly weakened. Increasing S/D ratio also weakened the effect of steel fibers. An equation was derived to calculate the bending stiffness of SFSRC specimens, which was used to determine mid span deflection; the accuracy of the proposed equation was proved by comparing predicted and experimental results.

When a structural wall is subjected to multi-directional ground motion, torsion-induced cracks degrade the stiffness of the wall. The effect of torsion should not be neglected. As a main lateral load resisting member, reinforced concrete (RC) structural wall has been widely studied under the combined action of bending and shear. Unfortunately, its seismic behavior under a combined action of torsion, bending and shear is rarely studied. In this study, torsional performances of the RC structural walls under the combined action is assessed from a comprehensive parametrical study. Finite element (FE) models are built and calibrated by comparing with the available experimental data. The study is then carried out to find out the critical design parameter affecting the torsional stiffness of RC structural walls, including the axial load ratio, aspect ratio, leg-thickness ratio, eccentricity of lateral force, longitudinal reinforcement ratio and transverse reinforcement ratio. Besides, to facilitate the application in practice, an empirical equation is developed to estimate the torsional stiffness of RC rectangular structural walls conveniently, which is found to agree well with the numerical results of the developed FE models.

Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls with L-shaped sections are commonly used in RC buildings. The walls are often expected to sustain biaxial load and Unsymmetrical bending in an earthquake event. However, there currently exists limited experimental evidence regarding their seismic behaviour in these lateral loading directions. This paper makes experimental and numerical investigations to these walls behaviours. Experimental evidences are presented for four L-shaped wall specimens which were tested under simulated seismic load from different lateral directions. The results highlighted some distinct behaviour of L-shaped walls sustaining Unsymmetrical bending relating to their seismic performance. First, due to the Unsymmetrical bending, out-of-plane reaction forces occur for these walls, which contribute to accumulation of the out-of-plane deformations of the wall, especially when out-of-plane stiffness of the section is reduced by horizontal cracks in the cyclic load. Secondly, cracking was found to affect shear centre of the specimens loaded in the Unsymmetrical bending direction. The shear centre of these specimens distinctly differs in the flange in the positive and negative loading direction. Cracking of the flange also causes significant warping in the bottom part of the wall, which eventually lead to out-of-plane buckling failure.

최근 경제 성장과 건설 기술의 발달로 인해 구조물이 대형화, 고층화됨에 따라 상부구조물을 지지할 수 있는 기초의 역할이 중요시 되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 말뚝 성능향상을 목적으로 프리캐스트공법과 철근 및 속채움 콘크리트로 말뚝머리부를 보강한 철근 콘크리트 말뚝(HPC)을 개발하고 한계상태설계법을 바탕으로 말뚝성능을 예측하였고 설계와 실제강도와 비교를 통해 말뚝 내력의 안전성을 평가하였다. HPC말뚝 본체의 단면형상은 최대폭 500 mm, 최소폭 475 mm의 10각 단면으로 말뚝머리부 본체 두께는 70 mm이다. 중공부 본체 내측은 도로교설계기준에서 제시하는 수평전단강도를 확보하기 위해 요철형상으로 제작하였다. 전단강도 실험 결과 사인장균열이 발생하였지만 최종 파괴단계까지 급격한 파괴 없이 안정적인 전단내력을 확보하였고 한계상태설계법으로 예측한 전단강도를 135%, 119% 상회하였다. 말뚝머리 본체부 두께에 가외철근 보강 유무에 따라 제작된 실험체의 항타실험 결과 모든 말뚝 실험체에 균열이 발생하지 않아 충격에 대한 저항이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 기성 PHC말뚝과 HPC말뚝 연결부 휨실험을 통해 측정된 휨하중을 평가한 결과 기성 PHC말뚝 설계 휨균열 하중에 비해 1.51배 및 1.48배 높은 값을 나타내어 충분한 연결부 휨내력을 확보하는 것으로 나타났다.

깊은 보의 파괴거동은 전단경간과 유효깊이의 비(a/d)에 따라 크게 변한다. $a/d{\leq}1.0$의 깊은 보는 복부의 쪼갬현상과 하중점과 재하점 부근에서의 콘크리트의 연화현상을 동반하는 파괴모드가 지배적인 파괴모드가 되는 것과 복부에 배치된 전단철근은 보의 파괴모드를 변화시키는 역할을 하고, 이러한 목적으로 복부철근을 배근할 때에는 반드시 연직 및 수평철근을 동시에 사용하거나 또는 사인장균열에 직각을 이루도록 철근을 배치하여야 한다. 한편, 1.0${\leq}2.5$의 깊은 보의 경우, 전단파괴시 주인장철근이 항복상태에 도달하지 않도록 충분히 배치되어져 있다면 복부에 배치된 수평철근으로 인한 전단강도 증가는 거의 기대하기 어렵다. 하지만 연직전단철근은 1.0${\leq}2.5$의 깊은 보가 일찍 타이드아치기구로 전이되는 현상을 방지함으로서 전단강도를 증대시키는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 깊은 보에 대한 기존의 실험연구로부터 얻어진 파괴거동과 그것에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자들에 대해 정성적으로 분석하고, 소성이론을 적용하여 파괴강도를 구하는데 기초가 되는 역학모델을 정의하였다. 또한 정의된 역학모델을 근거로 소성이론의 상계정리(upper bound theorem)를 적용하여 a/d가 1이하의 깊은 보에 대한 전단강도식을 이론적으로 유도하였다. 이 연구에서 제안된 전단강도 산정식은 $a/d{\leq}1.0$의 깊은 보의 전단강도를 정확하게 예측하였다.

In this study, attempt has been made to evaluate the effect of $CO_2$ laser irradiation on enamel surface structure and the bond strength of sealant material. Conventional acid etching was used as a control technic for comparison. The results obtained from this experiment were as follows; 1. The highest mean shear bond strength value was observed in samples of Group I (acid-etching) with the statistical significance(p<.05) between all the other groups. 2. The shear bond strength in Group IV was the lowest among laser etching groups. but there were no significant difference between them(p>.05). 3. Scanning electron microscopic observation showed that the rough and irregular surface was created by $CO_2$ laser treatment with the formation of numerous pores, micro-cracks, and small bubble-like inclusion. Increasing the energy density induced localized surface melt with a thin smooth glaze-like appearance. 4. In acid-etched control specimen cohesive failure predominated, whereas adhesive failure was the main mode in laser-treated group. Based upon the above-mentioned results, it can be assumed that the $CO_2$ laser is not an adequate substitute for the acid-etch technique in enamel preconditioning. More studies are required to explore the effective condition of laser irradiation which could attain the better bond strength of restorative materials.
