  • 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량은 콘크리트와 PS 강재의 역학적 장점들을 십분 활용하여 경제적인 단면 구성이 가능한 반면, 서로 다른 두 재료의 복합적인 특성들 즉, 콘크리트의 크리이프 (creep), 건조수축 (shrinkage)과 PS 강재의 이완 (relaxation) 등과 같이 시간에 따라 변화하는 인자들로 인하여 복잡한 구조적 거동을 보여 해석상 어려움이 따른다. 이와같은 복합거동은 시공순서와 시공방법에 의해 시공중의 구조계와 지지조건 등이 변화하는 경우에는 더욱 복잡한 양상을 띄게 된다. 뿐만 아니라 박스 거더와 같은 박벽요소에서는 일반적인 보요소(beam element)로는 나타낼 수 없는 ?(warping)을 무시할 수 없으므로 ? 자유도를 구현할 수 있는 특수한 기능의 구조해석용 프로그램의 개발이 절실히 요망된다. 그리고 시공단계별로 출력되는 많은 양의 수치결과들을 설계와 시공실무자에 지향된 형태로 조합, 변형시켜 그래픽 화면상에 나타내는 후처리 프로그램(Post-processor) 기능도 구조해석용 프로그램의 개발 못지않게 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 삼성종합건설과 서울대 토목공학과가 공동으로 ?(warping) 자유도를 포함한 7개의 자유도를 갖는 3차원 보요소를 사용하여 PS 콘크리트의 재료적 특성인 크리이프와 건조수축, 그리고 강재의 이완(relaxation)을 포함한 프리스트레싱력의 손실을 고려할 수 있고 시공 단계별 구조계의 변화 및 지지조건들의 다양한 변화를 효율적으로 모사할 수 있는 프로그램의 개발에 있다.

  • In this study, the TSC spectroscopy has been applied to investigate the influence of structural change due to a process of curing reaction on the electrical properties of epoxy composites cured with acid-anhydride. Five TSC peaks appeared in -160-250[.deg.C]: in the low temperature region below glass transition temperature(T$\_$g/), three relaxation mode peaks due to action of side chains, substitution group or terminal groups have been observed, a peak associated with T$\_$g/, appeared in 110[.deg. C] and p peak due to ionic space charges located in 150[.deg.C]. Each peak was separated into elementary peaks by the partial polarization procedure, and the distribution of activation energy and relaxation time were analized to clearify the origin of each peak. Also, overaboundantly added hardener separated a .betha. peak near 10[.deg. C] into two peaks of .betha.$\_$1/(10.deg. C) and .betha.$\_$2/(20.deg. C) according to increasement of forming field, and the separated hardener was oxidated thermally with increasing surrounding temperatures. The expansion of the free volume need in molecular motion and the reduction of the structural packing density through thermal oxidation process increased TSC between .alpha. peak and .betha. peak and decreased T$\_$g/.

  • In the prestressed concrete structures, stresses are gradually redistributed with time due to the creep and shrinkage of concrete and the stress relaxation of prestressed steel. In this study a numerical procedure and computer program is developed to analyze the behavior of prestressed concrete structures considering the time-dependent properties of material. It accounts for the aging, creep and shrinkage of concrete and the stress relaxation of prestressed steel. The structural model uses two dimensional plane frame elements with three nodal degree of freedom and is analyzed based on the finite element method. Member cross section can consist of concrete, reinforcement and prestressing steel. Two different set of equations for the prediction of time-dependent material properties of concrete are presented, which are ACI, CEB-FIP. Analytical studies for different examples of prestressed concrete structures have been performed to demonstrated the capabilities and practical applicabilities of the developed program.

  • In order to find an effect of structural changes due to variation of addition ratio of anhydride hardener and postcuring herat-treatments upon electrical properties of epoxy composites, the dielectric properties over a frequency range from 30[Hz] to l[MHz] were investigated in the temperature range of 20-180[.deg. C]. From the dielectric properties, the a peaks related with glass-transition phenomena of epoxy network appeared near 130[.deg. C], the conduction loss in high temperature region above 150[.deg. C] due to thermal dissociation of hardener started off with the low frequency side and the .betha. peak concerned with contribution of movable unreacted terminal epoxy groups and curing agents in the glass states concurred with the high-frequency side below 20[.deg. C]. And an effect of an hydride hardener upon structural changes and of postcuring heat treatments upon structural stability in epoxy composites would be explained through the estimation of the distribution of relaxation times and the activation energy for a .alpha. peak according to the WLF equations.

  • For the precise assessment of the effect of welding residual stresses on structural strength and fatigue crack growth behavior, new FE analysis algorithms for the estimation of residual stress relaxation due to external load and redistribution due to fatigue crack propagation were proposed in this paper. Initial welding residual stress field was obtained by thermal elasto-plastic analysis considering temperature dependent material properties, and the amount of residual stress relaxation and redistribution were assessed by subsequent elasto-plastic analysis In the analysis of fatigue crack propagation, the applied SIF(Stress Intensity Factor) range was evaluated by $\frac{1}{4}$-point displacement extrapolation method, and the effect of welding residual stresses on crack propagation was considered by introducing the effective SIF concept. The test results of crack propagations were compared with the predicted data obtained by the analysis.

  • In segmentally erected bridges, the structural systems are changed as the construction stages progress and redistribution of member forces occurs due to time dependent effects of concrete and relaxation of perstressing steel. Therefore, structural analysis is required at each construction stage. In this study, nonlinear analysis program of the segmentally erected prestressed concrete box girder bridges is developed to raise the efficiency in making input file for the main program and analysis of the results produced by the main program.

  • In this paper, effective analysis of beam is studied using the RKPM in meshless methods. So, RKPM is extended for solving moderately thick and thin beam. General Timoshenko beam theory is used for formulation. Shear locking is the main difficulty in analysis of beam structures. The shear relaxation factor and corrected shear rigidity are introduced to overcome shear locking. Analysis results obtained reveal that RKPM using introduced methods Is free of locking and very effectively applicable to deeply as well as shallowly beams.

  • This paper presents an estimation method for the static configuration of a steel lazy wave riser (SLWR) using the dynamic relaxation method applied to estimate the configuration of structures with strong geometric non-linearity. The lumped mass model is introduced to reflect the flexible structural characteristics of the riser. In the lumped mass model, the tensions, shear forces, buoyancy, self-weights, and seabed reaction forces at nodal points are considered in order to find the static configuration of the SLWR. The dynamic relaxation method using a viscous damping formulation is applied to the static configuration analysis. Fictitious masses are defined at nodal points using the sum of the largest direct stiffness values of nodal points to ensure the numerical stability. Various case studies were performed according to the bending stiffness and size of the buoyancy module using the dynamic relaxation method. OrcaFlex was employed to validate the accuracy of the developed numerical method.
