Earthquake disaster is dependent upon both site intensity and strength of structures. The higher the strength, structures become more safe, which in turn increases the construction cost. Therefore, it is necessary to decide an optimum design intensity in which the safety is balanced with the cost. Such an optimum design intensity for major man-made structures in Korea is determined in the present study from a simulation model as follows. 1) Hypothetical earthquake time series are generated from the probability distribution to represent appropriately the seismicity of Korea. 2) The strength of structures constructed with a certain design intensity is assumed to exponentially decrease with the elapsed time. The construction cost is also expressed as a function of design intensity. 3) Comparing the seismic intensity generated from the earthquake time series with the strength of structures, the safety of structures is examined. Then the time until the structure is damaged by an earthquake is obtained within the designed life time. 4) The above simulation is iterated several hundred times and hence the mean life time of structures having a certain design intensity is obtained. 5) After all, the optimum design intensity to minimize the annual mean loss, the ratio of construction cost to mean life time, is estimated. The major conclusions obtained from the above simulation model are as follows. 1) Depending upon the designed life time ($T_p$), the optimum design intensities are appeared to be 0. 05-0. 10g for $T_p=50yr$ and 0. 08-0.13g for $T_p=100yr$. 2) According to the sensitivity analysis, the optimum design intensity increases with the rapid strength decrease of structure and decreases with the increase of initial construction cost.

손상된 구조부재, 특히 철근콘크리트교량 교각의 내진성능을 정확하게 평가할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 비탄성 시간종속요소를 제안하였다. 비탄성 시간종속요소는 강도 및 강성의 저하된 상태를 유지한 부재상태에 보수 및 보강에 의한 특성치들의 증가분에 대한 효과를 고려할 수 있는 요소이다. 이 시간종속요소는 활성시작시간과 활성끝시간을 갖는 비탄성 요소로서 정적시간이력해석이나 동적시간이력해석의 경우, 사용자가 원하는 시간간격 내에서 자유롭게 활성화를 시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서 개발된 시간종속요소를 이용한 해석결과를 보수 및 보강된 철근콘크리트 교각 실험결과와 비교하였고 전반적으로 만족할만한 상관관계를 얻었다. 아울러 연속지진하중하에서 철근콘크리트 교량의 비선형 시간이력의 비교해석을 통하여 개발된 요소의 타당성을 입증하였다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 개발된 시간종속요소는 보수 및 보강후의 철근콘크리트교량 교각의 내진수행능력 산정에 유용한 자료를 제공하여 구조물의 전반적인 내진안정성 검토에 크게 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

고온에 노출된 GFRP와 CFRP 보강근의 단지간보 실험을 통해 계면전단강도를 측정하였다. 1차 실험으로서, 노출시간과 온도를 변수로 하였으며, 적용된 고온 조건하에서 강도의 변화를 고찰하였으다. 1차 실험의 결과로부터 두가지 보강근에 대하여 임계온도가 $270^{\circ}C$로 동일한 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구에서 임계온도는 상온에서의 계면전단강도의 50%의 손실을 발생시키는 온도로 정의하였다. 계면전단강도에 대한 임계온도는 섬유의 종류가 아닌 레진이 성능에 지배된다는 것이다. 2차 실험에서는 임계온도하에서 0.25시간의 간격으로 노출시간에 대한 영향을 고찰하였다. 모든 실험 결과로부터, 노출시간의 영향은 노출온도에 비하여 그 영향이 크진 않지만 무시할 정도는 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 더욱이, 그 영향은 임계온도하에서 매우 중대함을 확인하였다.

초고층건물에서 발생하는 부등축소량은 기둥과 코어를 연결하는 보와 슬래브에서의 부가응력을 유발하거나 파티션과 커튼월의 균열과 같은 문제 등을 유발하므로, 부등축소량의 영향을 최소화하기 위해 기둥축소량의 예측 및 보정이 정확히 이루어져야 하며, 구조안전성과 사용성의 관점에서 시간변화에 따른 초고층건물 기둥축소량의 정확한 예측이 필요하다. 기둥축소량에 영향을 주는 콘크리트의 재료물성치 중 콘크리트강도, 크리프계수, 건조수축계수 등의 변동성을 고려하여 확률론적 해석을 이용한 기둥축소량 예측을 하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 41층 초고층 내력벽식 구조물을 예제로 하여 몬테카를로 기법을 이용한 확률론적 축소량을 구하고 축소량의 분포도를 조사하여 신뢰수준별 기둥축소량을 분석하였다. 초고층 내력벽식 구조물예제에서 현장계측된 변형값은 해석에 의한 결과값보다 전체적으로 작으며, 확률론적으로 신뢰구간 ${\mu}-1.645{\sigma}$(신뢰수준 90.0% 하한치)이내의 값을 나타내었다.

We have developed a lightweight aggregate (LWA) concrete made by expanding fine sediments dredged from the Shihmen Reservoir (Taiwan) with high heat. In this study, the performance of the concrete and of prestressed concrete beams made of the sedimentary LWA were tested and compared with those made of normal-weight concrete (NC). The test results show that the lightweight concrete (LWAC) exhibited comparable time-dependent properties (i.e., compressive strength, elastic modulus, drying shrinkage, and creep) as compared with the NC samples. In addition, the LWAC beams exhibited a smaller percentage of prestress loss compared with the NC beams. Moreover, on average, the LWAC beams could resist loading up to 96% of that of the NC beams, and the experimental strengths were greater than the nominal strengths calculated by the ACI Code method. This investigation thus established that sedimentary LWA can be recommended for structural concrete applications.

Ziziphus jujuba Mill. (ZJM), a traditional folk medicine and functional food in South Korea and China, has been reported to having pharmacological activities against anti-cancer, anti-oxidative, and anti-obesity. However, the effect of ZJM related to myoblast differentiation has not been known. In this study, we investigated the effects and mechanism of ZJM on myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells. ZJM promotes myogenic differentiation and elevates the formation of multinucleated myotube compared to the control group. ZJM significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression of MyHC1, myogenin and MyoD in dose- and time-dependent manner. Interestingly, ZJM significantly inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of protein degradation markers, atrogin-1 and MuRF-1, in dose- and time-dependent manner. Taken together, our data suggest that ZJM is a potential functional candidate for muscle growth and strength by promoting myogenic differentiation.

This paper deals with the accumulated damage in concrete structures due to the cyclic freeze-thaw as an environmental load. The cyclic ice body nucleation and growth processes in porous systems are affected by the thermo-physical and mass transport properties, and gradients of temperature and chemical potentials. Furthermore, the diffusivity of deicing chemicals shows significantly higher value under cyclic freeze-thaw conditions. Consequently, the disintegration of concrete structures is aggravated at marine environments, higher altitudes, and northern areas. However, the properties of cyclic freeze-thaw with crack growth and diffusion of chloride ion effects are hard to be identified in tests, and there has been no analytic model for the combined degradations. The main objective is to determine the driving force and evaluate the reduced strength and stiffness by freeze-thaw. For the development of computational model of those coupled deterioration, micro-pore structure characterization, pore pressure based on the thermodynamic equilibrium, time and temperature dependent super-cooling with or without deicing salts, nonlinear-fracture constitutive relation for the evaluation of internal damage, and the effect of entrained air pores (EA) has been modeled numerically. As a result, the amount of ice volume with temperature dependent surface tensions, freezing pressure and resulting deformations, and cycle and temperature dependent pore volume has been calculated and compared with available test results. The developed computational program can be combined with DuCOM, which can calculate the early aged strength, heat of hydration, micro-pore volume, shrinkage, transportation of free water in concrete. Therefore, the developed model can be applied to evaluate those various practical degradation cases as well.

In this paper the accumulation of local damage during the cyclic loading in reinforced high-strength concrete columns is experimentally investigated. Two identical column specimens with annular cross-section and spiral reinforcement were designed and two tests, up to failure, under the action of a constant vertical concentrated force and a time-dependent concentrated horizontal force, were carried out at the LNEC shaking tables facility. Sine type signals, controlled in amplitude, frequency and time duration were used for these experiments. The concept of local damage based on local stiffness degradation is considered in detail and illustrated by experimental results. The specimens were designed and reinforced in such a way that the accumulation of damage was predicted by dominating deformations (cracking and crushing of the concrete) while the increasing of the loading values was a dominating factor of damage. It was observed that the local damage of HSC columns has exposed their anisotropic local behaviour. The damage accumulation was slightly different from the expected in accordance with the continuum damage concept, and a partial random character was observed.

In this paper, nonlinear static analysis of three-dimensional cable stayed bridges is performed for the time dependent materials properties such as creep, shrinkage and aging of concrete and relaxation of cable. Manavgat Cable-Stayed Bridge is selected as an application. The bridge located in Antalya, Turkey, was constructed with balanced cantilever construction method. Total length of the bridge is 202 m. The bridge consists of one $\ddot{e}$ shape steel tower. The tower is at the middle of the bridge span. The construction stages and 3D finite element model of bridge are modeled with SAP2000. Large displacement occurs in these types of bridges so geometric nonlinearity is taken into consideration in the analysis by using P-Delta plus large displacement criterion. The time dependent material strength and geometric variations are included in the analysis. Two different finite element analyses carried out which are evaluated with and without construction stages and results are compared with each other. As a result of these analyses, variation of internal forces such as bending moment, axial forces and shear forces for bridge tower and displacement and bending moment for bridge deck are given with detailed. It is seen that construction stage analysis has a remarkable effect on the structural behavior of the bridge.

실제 FCM 교량에 적용되는 고강도 콘크리트의 시간의 다양한 양생 환경에서의 시간 의존적 거동을 평가하기 위해, 기건 및 도포, 습윤 환경에서의 100${\times}$100${\times}$400mm 각주형 공시체의 수축량을 측정하였다. 또한 상수와 10% CaCl$_2$ 수용액에 노출된 콘크리트의 3일 및 28일 재령에서의 압축크리프를 측정하였고, 일반적인 기건 및 도포 공시체의 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 도포와 습윤 양생 환경에 노출된 콘크리트의 시간 의존적 거동은 건조수축과 크리프 모두 상당한 차이를 보였다. 따라서 기존의 크리프 실험 방법으로 실제 콘크리트 구조물의 크리프와 건조수축을 측정하는 것에 대한 재고가 필요하다고 판단된다.
