This paper is concerned with a practical guide for the ultimate longitudinal strength assessments of ships' hull structure. Rigorous non-linear structural analysis for three tanker models has been carried out to examine the ultimate strength behavior. Formula of estimating the ultimate longitudinal strength has been proposed which is modified with the results of non-linear finite element analysis of hull girders. Computational reliability and accuracy of the large-scale non-linear finite element analysis and the proposed simplified formula are verified through comparing their results with that of 1/3 scale frigate model test and DNVs program. Additionally, the ultimate longitudinal strength for ten tanker models is compared with those by the method specified in the 2nd Draft of common structural rule for tankers, which is being developed by IACS.

This paper describes a development of Collision/grounding Strength Assessment System (COSAS) using simplified method. This method is formulated in closed-form equation by taking into account crushing caused by bulbous bow collision and cutting caused by forward speed grounding. To verify the accuracy of the developed system, some examples for test models of double side/bottom structure in collision/grounding situation are considered. This system might be useful for analysis of structural damage of oil tankers in collision/grounding.

When structures are constructed by welding, structural elements are always accompained by welding residual stress and deformation. Therefore, when the rigidity and strength of the welded structures is considered, it is very important to have sufficient information about the effect of initial deflection and welding residual stress on them. In this paper, the square plates with welding residual stress under compression are dealt with; First, heat conduction and thermal elastic-plastic problems are analyzed by finite element method using 4-node isoparametric elements for assessment on the ultimate strength of welding joint. Later, the ultimate strength of welding joint is assessed by examining the effect of changed type of loading. The specimens are 500{\times}$500mm(a/b=1) and 750{\times}$500mm(a/b=1.5) rectangular plates of whichthicknesses is 9.0mm and simply supported plates getting axiul load in each direction.

This paper is concerned with the fatigue strength assessment of tendon porch found which is categorized as the special structural member in TLP. Large-scale tendon porch specimens have been designed and fabricated with API 2W Gr.50 steel recently produced by POSCO. Fatigue test has been carried out for three tendon porch specimens under various load level. Fatigue strength has been evaluated based on the nominal stress range and the results are compared with the fatigue design curve of DnV RP-C203. From the present experimental study, it has been found that the porch specimens satisfy the fatigue design rule although test was carried out under the positive stress ratio. It can be, therefore, said that the API 2W steel produced by POSCO possess sufficient fatigue strength.

Nuclear power plant structures may be exposed to aggressive environmental effects than may cause their strength and stiffness to decrease over their service lives, Although the physics of these damage mechanisms are reasonably well understood and quantitative evaluation of their effects on time-dependent structural behavior is possible in some instances such evaluations are generally very difficult and remain novel. The assessment of existing RC containment in nuclear power plants for continued service must provide quantitative evidence that they are able to withstand future extreme loads during a service period with an acceptable level of reliability. Rational methodologies to perform the reliability assessment can be developed from mechanistic models of structural deterioration using time-dependent structural reliability analysis to take earthquake loading uncertainties into account. The final goal of this study is to develop the reliability analysis of RC containment structures. The cause of the degrading is first clarified and the reliability assessment has been conducted. By introducing stochastic analysis based on random vibration theory the reliability analysis which can determine the failure probabilities has been established.

Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) has recently been applied as an alternative to conventional concrete in construction due to its extremely high compressive and tensile strength, and enhanced durability. However, up to date, there has been insufficient information regarding the confinement behavior of UHPC columns. Therefore, this study aims to perform an assessment of axial stress-strain model for UHPC confined by circular steel tube stub columns. The equations for calculating the confined peak stress and its corresponding strain of confined concrete in existing models suggested by Johansson (2002), Sakino et al. (2004), Han et al. (2005), Hatzigeorgiou (2008) were modified based on the regression analysis of test results in Schneider (2006) in order to increase the prediction accuracy for the case of confined UHPC. Furthermore, a new axial stress-strain model for confined UHPC was developed. To examine the suitability of the modified models and the proposed model for confined UHPC, axial stress-strain curves derived from the proposed models were compared with those obtained from previous test results. After validating the proposed model, an extensive parametric study was undertaken to investigate the effects of diameter-to-thickness ratio, steel yield strength and concrete compressive strength on the complete axial stress-strain curves, the strength and strain enhancement of UHPC confined by circular steel tube stub columns.

본 논문에서는 해상 구조물들의 화재시 안전성 평가에 대한 연구의 일환으로써 기본적인 구조강도 부재들의 화재시 거동 및 파괴확률을 구해 보았다. 화재에서의 안전성 평가는 부재의 Fire resistance와 화염에 의한 열하중인 Fire severity를 비교하여 이루어질 수 있다고 가정하였다. Fire severity는 육상 건축물에 대한 화재안전 규정인 Eurocode 1의 표준화염 온도변화 곡선과 부재로의 열전달 방정식을 사용하여 부재의 최대온도를 구하게 되며, Fire resistance는 단순 부재의 경우, 간략식과 코드의 활용으로 해결할 수 있지만, FPSO 와 해상 구조물의 복잡성을 고려하여 상용 구조해석 프로그램의 활용을 통하여 탄소성해석 및 대변형등을 고려한 보다 실용적인 부재의 구조강도를 해석하여 주어진 파괴모드에 대한 한계 온도를 구하여 최대온도와 비교하였다. 더불어, Fire resistance 측면에서의 두 접근방식의 비교를 통해서 두 방식의 등가적 성향을 확인하였다. 여기서 Strength, Serviceability, Stability의 세 가지 측면에서 First Hinge, Large Deflection, Buckling의 세 가지 파괴모드를 상정하고 각각에 대한 파괴여부를 확인하였고, 이렇게 구해지는 Fire severity와 Fire resistance의 식에 AFOSM 방법을 적용하여 최종적으로 부재의 파괴확률을 구하는 방식을 통해, 단순 부재인 Beam 및 Plate 예제에 적용하여 구조물의 화재시 거동 및 각 파괴모드에 대한 파괴여부를 구하였다.

In this study, a support system is developed for the design of facility structures. This system is called Expert System for Design Optimization of Industrial Plant Structures (EDIPS). Based on the strength assessment of steel-plate structures such as ships and off-shore structures, a detailed load calculation method is developed utilizing the database of various plant structures. The method, developed in support of design and for the assessment of strength, constitutes a part of EDIPS. By providing relevant and consistent design data and procedures to engineers, EDIPS is expected to be useful as an important development tool for maritime distribution system that is used to control the transportation by ships and loading unloading, and storage of cargo.

This paper prescribed the structural integrity of the API 5L X65 pipeline subjected to tensile pre-strain. The effects of pre-strain on the mechanical properties of API 5L X65 pipe were substantially investigated through a variety of the experimental procedures. Axial tensile pre-strain of 1.5, 5 and 10% was applied to plate-type tensile specimens cut from the pipe body prior to mechanical testing. Tensile test revealed that yield strength and tensile strength were increased with increasing tensile pre-strain. The increasing rate of the yield strength owing to the pre-strain is greater than that of the tensile strength. However, the pre-strain up to 5% had a little effect on the decreasing of the fracture toughness. The structural integrity of the API 5L X65 pipeline subjected to large plastic deformation was evaluated through the fitness-for service code.
