Exodermic deck systems are new composite steel grid deck systems which have been used in various projects during the past decade. One of the eminent features of this system is considerable reduction in the structure weight compared to the ordinary reinforced concrete decks and also reduction in construction time by using precast Exodermic decks. In this study, dynamic properties of the Exodermic deck bridges with alternative perfobond shear connectors are investigated experimentally. In order to evaluate the dynamic properties of the decks, peak picking and Nyquist circle fit methods are employed. Frequencies obtained experimentally are in good agreement with the results of the finite-element solution, and the experimental results show that the first mode is the most effective mode among the obtained modes. The first four modes are the rigid translational motion modes, and the next two modes seem to be rigid rotational motion modes around a horizontal axis. From the 7th mode onwards, modes are flexible. The range of damping ratios is about 0.5%. Furthermore, the static behavior of the Exodermic decks under a static load applied at the center of the decks was investigated. Failure of the decks under positive bending was punching-shear. The bending strength of the decks under negative bending was about 50 percent of their strength under positive bending. In addition, the weight of an Exodermic deck is about 40% of that of an equivalent reinforced concrete slab.

The stress triaxiality and lode angle are known to be most dominant fracture parameters in ductile materials. This paper proposes a three-dimensional failure strain surface for a ductile steel, called a low-temperature high-tensile steel (EH36), using average stress triaxiality and average normalized lode parameter, along with briefly introducing their theoretical background. It is an extension of previous works by Choung et al. (2011; 2012; 2014a; 2014b) and Choung and Nam (2013), in which a two-dimensional failure strain locus was presented. A series of tests for specially designed specimens that were expected to fail in the shear mode, shear-tension mode, and compression mode was conducted to develop a three-dimensional fracture surface covering wide ranges for the two parameters. This paper discusses the test procedures for three different tests in detail. The tensile force versus stroke data are presented as the results of these tests and will be used for the verification of numerical simulations and fracture identifications in Part II.

수중에서 은밀하게 움직이는 표적을 조기에 탐지하기 위한 선배열센서에 적용되는 통상의 하이드로폰은 표적신호의 크기만 측정할 뿐, 외부에서 들어오는 음향신호의 방향은 파악할 수 없는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 표적으로부터의 음향신호의 크기와 방향을 동시에 탐지할 수 있는 관성형 벡터 하이드로폰의 기본 구성품으로 두께 전단형 진동자를 제안하였다. 외력에 대한 진동자의 출력 전압을 해석할 수 있는 수식을 유도하였으며, PMN-PT 단결정 진동자에 대한 유한요소해석을 통해 수식의 타당성을 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 해석 결과는 향후 두께 전단형 진동자로 구성된 관성형 벡터 하이드로폰 설계에 활용될 것이다.

Drift angle is a significant index for diagnosing post-event structures. A common way to estimate this drift response is by using modal parameters identified under natural excitations. Although the modal parameters of shear structures cannot be identified accurately in the real environment, the identification error has little impact on the estimation when measurements from several floors are used. However, the estimation accuracy falls dramatically when there is only one accelerometer. This paper describes the susceptibility of single sensor identification to modelling error and simulations that preliminarily verified this characteristic. To make a robust evaluation from measurements of one floor of shear structures based on imprecisely identified parameters, a novel scheme is devised to approximately correct the mode shapes with respect to fictitious frequencies generated with a genetic algorithm; in particular, the scheme uses constrained minimization to take both the mathematical aspect and the realistic aspect of the mode shapes into account. The algorithm was validated by using a full-scale shear building. The differences between single-sensor and multiple-sensor estimations were analyzed. It was found that, as the number of accelerometers decreases, the error rises due to insufficient data and becomes very high when there is only one sensor. Moreover, when measurements for only one floor are available, the proposed method yields more precise and appropriate mode shapes, leading to a better estimation on the drift angle of the lower floors compared with a method designed for multiple sensors. As well, it is shown that the reduction in space complexity is offset by increasing the computation complexity.

본 연구에서는 공학목재로 목구조건축에 주로 사용되는 집성재 및 CLT 그리고 Ply-lam CLT의 블록전단시험을 실시하여 강도 및 파괴 유형을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 통해 Ply-lam CLT의 라미나 및 합판의 수종, 접착제의 종류 및 Layer구성 등 최적생산을 위한 제조조건을 구명하고자 하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 블록전단시험을 통해 집성재, Ply-lam CLT, CLT 순으로 높은 강도를 나타냈다. 특히, 낙엽송 합판과 낙엽송 라미나의 복합구조로 제조되는 Ply-lam CLT의 전단강도는 집성재 전단강도 기준인 7.1 N/㎟을 통과하였다. 아울러 본 연구에서는 집성재, CLT, Ply-lam 접착에 사용된 접착제 종류에 따른 전단강도의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 Ply-lam CLT의 경우에는 라미나와 합판의 수종에 따라 Ply-lam CLT의 전단강도의 차이를 나타냈다. 그 결과는 낙엽송 > 남양재 ≒ 육송 합판 순으로 높은 강도를 나타났다. Ply-lam CLT의 최적 구성은 낙엽송 합판과 낙엽송 라미나를 사용하는 경우이며 접착제는 용도에 따라 PRF, PUR을 선정하여 사용하면 될 것으로 판단된다. 목질재료 유형에 따른 전단강도 파괴 양상 결과 분석을 통하여 집성재는 shear parallel-to-grain, CLT는 rolling shear, Ply-lam CLT는 shear parallel-to-grain과 rolling shear가 복합적으로 나타났다. 이는 전단강도 결과와 밀접한 관련이 있으며 rolling shear로 인하여 CLT보다 Ply-lam CLT에서 더 높은 전단 강도를 나타내는 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, experiments were tried on the mixed-mode I+II single overloading model which changes the loading mode of overload and fatigue load. Aspects of deformation field in front of the crack which is formed by mixed-mode I+II single overloading were experimentally studied. Then the shape and size of mixed-mode plastic zone were approximately calculated. The propagation behavior of fatigue crack was examined under the test conditions combined by changing the loading mode. The behavior of fatigue cracks were greatly affected by shapes of plastic deformation field and applying mode of fatigue load. Accuracy of prediction and evaluation for fatigue life may be improved by considering all aspects of deformation and behavior of fatigue cracks.

In this study, retardation behavior of fatigue crack under single overloading of the mixed mode state was experimentally investigated. To produce single overload in the mixed mode I+II state, the compact tension shear (CTS) specimen and loading device were used. The propagation tests for fatigue crack were performed under mode I and mixed-mode loading overloading afterwards. We examined the observed deformation aspects, the variation of fatigue life and crack propagation rate, and the aspects of retardation behavior from tests. The retardation effect of mixed-mode single overload on fatigue crack propagation behavior was smaller than that of mode I single overload. Also the loading modes of variable and constant amplitude loads have influence on the retardation behavior of fatigue cracks.

Interfacial crack problems between fiber and matrix in composite materials are discussed. A series of interfacial crack initiation and propagation experiments are conducted using the biaxial loading device for various mode-mixes. Normal crack opening displacement (NCOD) is measured near crack front by a crack opening interferometry and used for extracting fracture parameters. From mixed mode interfacial crack initiation experiments, large increase in toughness with shear components is observed. Initial velocity of crack propagation is very dependent upon the mode-mixes. It increased with positive mode-mix due to the increase of stress singularities ahead of crack front and decreased with negative mode-mix resulting from the increase of the degree of compressive stress behind the crack front. Crack propagation was less accelerated with positive mode-mix than the negative mode-mix.

Continuous deep girders which transmit the gravity load from the upper wall to the lower columns have frequently long end shear spans between the boundary of the upper wall and the face of the lower column. This paper presents the results of tests and analyses performed on three 1:2.5 scale specimens with long end shear spans, (the ratios of shear-span/total depth: 1.8 < a/h < 2.5): one designed by the conventional approach using the beam theory and two by the strut-and-tie approach. The conclusions are as follows: (1) the yielding strength of the continuous RC deep girders is controlled by the tensile yielding of the bottom longitudinal reinforcements, being much larger than the nominal strength predicted by using the section analysis of the girder section only or using the strut-and-tie model based on elastic-analysis stress distribution. (2) The ultimate strengths are 22% to 26% larger than the yielding strength. This additional strength derives from the strain hardening of yielded reinforcements and the shear resistance due to continuity with the adjacent span. (3) The pattern of shear force flow and failure mode in shear zone varies depending on the amount of vertical shear reinforcement. And (4) it is necessary to take into account the existence of the upper wall in the analysis and design of the deep continuous transfer girders that support the upper wall with a long end shear span.
