The focused topic according to be slender and longer of cable stayed bridge's main span is as follows (1) Aerodynamic stability (2) Lateral movement of stiffening girder caused by wind force during and after construction (3) Global bucking of stiffening girder caused by axial force Among this, the number 3 has not received much attention in the past due to high buckling safety factor of stiffening girder. However, according to be slender of stiffening girder, the topic of buckling stability of girder is not any more unconcerned subject. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of stay cable's nonlinear behavior on the buckling stability of cable-stayed bridge.

An analytical model which can simulate the post-cracking nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members such as bars and panels subject to uniaxial and biaxial stresses is presented. The proposed model includes the description of biaxial failure criteria and the average stress-strain relation of reinforcing steel. Based on strain distribution functions of steel and concrete after cracking, a criterion to consider the tension-stiffening effect is proposed using the concept of average stresses and strains. The validity of the introduced model is established by comparing the analytical predictions for reinforced concrete uniaxial tension members with results from experimental studies. In advance, correlation studies between analytical results and experimental data are also extended to RC panels subject to biaxial tensile stresses to verify the efficiency of the proposed model and to identify the significance of various effects on the response of biaxially loaded reinforced concrete panels.

Current climate conditions along with advances in technology make further design and verification methods for structural strength and reliability of wind turbine towers imperative. Along with the growing interest for "green" energy, the wind energy sector has been developed tremendously the past decades. To this end, the improvement of wind turbine towers in terms of structural detailing and performance result in more efficient, durable and robust structures that facilitate their wider application, thus leading to energy harvesting increase. The wind tower industry is set to expand to greater heights than before and tapered steel towers with a circular cross-section are widely used as more capable of carrying heavier loads. The present study focuses on the improvement of the structural response of steel wind turbine towers, by means of internal stiffening. A thorough investigation of the contribution of stiffening rings to the overall structural behavior of the tower is being carried out. These stiffening rings are placed along the tower height to reduce local buckling phenomena, thus increasing the buckling strength of steel wind energy towers and leading the structure to a behavior closer to the one provided by the beam theory. Additionally to ring stiffeners, vertical stiffening schemes are studied to eliminate the presence of short wavelength buckles due to bending. For the purposes of this research, finite element analysis is applied in order to describe and predict in an accurate way the structural response of a model tower stiffened by internal stiffeners. Moreover, a parametric study is being performed in order to investigate the effect of the stiffeners' number to the functionality of the aforementioned stiffening systems and the improved structural behavior of the overall wind converter.

이 논문은 철근콘크리트 구조 부재의 인장증강효과에 대한 해석적 모델을 제안한 것이다. 이 모델의 정식화를 위해 철근과 콘크리트 경계면에서 발생하는 실제와 유사한 형태의 부착응력과 미끌림 특성과 쪼갬균열의 영향을 고려하였다. 균열 안정화 단계에서의 철근 경계면 미끌림 분포를 선형으로 가정하고, 균열이 발생한 부재의 중앙 단면에서 콘크리트의 분담력이 일정하다는 조건을 CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 및 Eurocode 2에서 제시하고 있는 부착응력-미끌림 관계에 적용하였다. 이로부터 균열 안정화단계에서 부착응력에 의해 철근의 매입길이 방향으로 변화하는 철근의 변형률과 콘크리트 분담력을 계산할 수 있는 평형방정식을 유도하고, 변형적합조건을 고려하여 철근의 평균 변형률과 콘크리트 평균 분담력으로 동시에 표현이 가능한 인장강성 계수를 제안하였다. 이로부터 새롭게 정식화된 인장증강효과 모델을 기존 문헌에 발표된 여러 연구자들의 실험 자료에 적용하여 그 정확성을 검증한 결과, 제안식에 의한 예측값은 실험값을 비교적 정확하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

이 논문은 철근콘크리트 구조부재의 사용성능 검증을 위한 균열폭과 처짐을 산정할 수 있는 새로운 계산 방법을 제안하고 이를 자동으로 계산할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발한 것이다. 이를 위하여 콘크리트의 재료특성을 포물-사각형 응력-변형률 곡선으로 반영한 철근응력과 피복두께의 영향을 반영한 인장증강 계수를 이용한 곡률을 계산할 수 있는 수치 모델링을 실시하였다. 이와 함께 균열폭과 처짐을 계산하는데 필요한 인장증강효과와 유효인장단면적은 균열이 발생한 휨부재 단면의 인장영역을 인장 현재로 이상화하여 정의하였다. 그리고 수정된 인장증강 계수를 이용하여 유효곡률을 계산하였다. 제안된 균열폭과 처짐 산정 방법을 이용하여 여러 연구자들이 수행한 실험 자료를 계산한 결과, 현행 설계기준들의 규정보다 실험값을 비교적 정확하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, effect of recycled aggregates and polypropylene fibers on the response of conventionally reinforced concrete element subjected to tensile loading in terms of tension stiffening and strain development was experimentally investigated. For this purpose, concrete prisms of 100 × 100 mm cross section and 500 mm length having one central deformed steel re-bar were cast using fibrous and non-fibrous Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) with varying percentages of recycled aggregates (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and tested under uniaxial tensile load. For all fibrous RAC mixes, polypropylene fibers were used at constant dosage of 3.15 kg/㎥. Effect of recycled aggregates and fibers on the compressive strength of concrete was also explored in this study. Through studying tensile load versus global axial deformation of composite and strain development in concrete and steel, it was found that replacement of natural aggregates with recycled aggregates in concrete negatively affected the cracking load, tension stiffening and strain development, and this negative effect was observed to be increased with increasing contents of recycled aggregates in concrete. The results of this study showed that it was possible to minimize the negative effect of recycled aggregates in concrete by the addition of polypropylene fibers. Reinforced concrete element constructed using concrete containing 50% recycled aggregates and polypropylene fibers exhibited cracking behavior, tension stiffening and strain development response almost similar to that of concrete element constructed using natural aggregate concrete without fiber.

최근에 이르기까지 철근콘크리트 휨부재에 있어 콘크리트의 인장응력은 극한강도에 현저한 영향을 미치지 못하기 때문에 그 역할이 고려되어지지 않았다. 그러나 하중-처짐 관계의 구명을 위해서는, 인장증강효과라고 불리는 콘크리트와 보강철근 사이의 인장응력에 의한 강정증가 효과가 반드시 고려되어져야 한다. 이러한 인장증강효과에 영향을 주는 주요 구조변수는 콘크리트의 강도 및 콘크리트와 철근의 부착 등으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 휨을 받는 보를 대상으론 각기 다른 콘크리트 강도, 피복두께 및 주근의 비부착 길이를 갖도록 모두 20개의 시험체를 제작하여 실험하였다. 이를 통해 각 구조변수들이 시험체의 휨강성, 균열발생 및 진전 등에 미치는 영향 등을 주의 깊게 관찰하고 분석하였다.

A new type of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) with a longitudinally profiled steel plate working as the core (LPBRB) is proposed and experimentally investigated. Different from conventional BRBs with a constant thickness core, both stiffness and strength of the longitudinally profiled steel core along its longitudinal direction can change through itself variable thickness, thus the construction of LPBRB saves material and reduces the processing cost. Four full-scale component tests were conducted under quasi-static cyclic loading to evaluate the seismic performance of LPBRB. Three stiffening methods were used to improve the fatigue performance of LPBRBs, which were bolt-assembled T-shaped stiffening ribs, partly-welded stiffening ribs and stiffening segment without rib. The experimental results showed LPBRB specimens displayed stable hysteretic behavior and satisfactory seismic property. There was no instability or rupture until the axial ductility ratio achieved 11.0. Failure modes included the out-of-plane buckling of the stiffening part outside the restraining member and core plate fatigue fracture around the longitudinally profiled segment. The effect of the stiffening methods on the fatigue performance is discussed. The critical buckling load of longitudinally profiled segment is derived using Euler theory. The local bulging behavior of the outer steel tube is analyzed with an equivalent beam model. The design recommendations for LPBRB are presented finally.

Shear failure of reinforced concrete beams is serious problem due to sudden brittle failure and many experimental results proved that size effect in shear behavior is an important feature of reinforced concrete members. For this reason, the structural safety of the reinforced concrete beams for shear has been checked by applying empirical design formula, which includes the size-effect, derived from experimental data. However, as the sizes of reinforced concrete members become extremely large, experiments sometimes become very difficult so that the formula or the experimental data could not be obtained and size-effect analyses of shear behavior become significant. In this study, size-effect analysis of shear behavior in reinforced concrete beams is performed by modeling tension stiffening/shear stiffening on reinforced concrete and the tension softening/shear softening on plain concrete. Then, the influences of models in the size-effect analyses of shear behavior in reinforced concrete beams are analyzed.
