In this paper, a half-scaled substructure test was performed to evaluate the buckling and structural safety of an existing transmission tower subjected to wind load. A loading scheme was devised to reproduce the dead and wind loads of a prototype transmission tower, which uses a triangular jig that is mounted on the reduced model to which the similarity law of a half length was applied. As a result of the preliminary numerical analysis carried out to evaluate the stability of a specimen for the design load, it was confirmed that the calculated axial forces of tower leg members were distributed to $80{\sim}90%$ of an admissible buckling load. When the substructured transmission tower was loaded by 270% of its maximum admissible buckling load, it was failed due to the local buckling that is occurred in joints with weak constraints for out-of-plane behavior of leg members. By inspection of load-displacement curves, displacements and strains of members, it is considered that this local buckling was due to additional eccentric force by unbalanced deformation because the time that is reached to yielding stress due to the bending moment is different at each point of a same section.

부유식 해상풍력발전기의 시뮬레이션을 위해서 본 연구에서는 2MW 육상 풍력발전기에 부유구조물인 Tension Leg Platform(TLP) 구조를 추가하였다. 기상청 관측데이터와 해수면으로부터의 높이에 대해 풍속을 정의하는 지수법칙을 이용하여 풍하중을 산출하고 블레이드와 타워에 일정한 높이간격으로 적용하였다. 상대모리슨 방정식을 이용하여 파랑하중을 모델링하였다. 블레이드의 회전속도를 정격속도인 18rpm 으로 고려하고, 풍하중과 파랑하중 작용 시 2MW의 부유식 해상풍력기의 동적거동 해석을 수행하였다. 파랑하중에 대한 해상풍력기의 공진특성을 조사하기 위해 타워와 블레이드의 탄성체 모델을 구성하여 해상풍력기의 고유진동수를 계산하였다. 타워와 블레이드의 탄성효과가 해상풍력기의 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 타워만 탄성체로 구성된 탄성타워모델과 타워와 블레이드가 탄성체로 고려된 탄성타워 블레이드모델을 각각 강체 모델과 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 풍하중에 대한 기존 송전철탑의 좌굴 및 구조적 안전성을 평가하기 위해서 축소부분구조 실험을 수행하였다. 원 송전철탑에 작용하는 중력 및 풍하중을 재현하기 위해서 1/2크기의 상사법칙을 적용한 축소모델의 상부에 설치된 삼각형태의 지그를 이용하여 가력하는 방법을 고안하였다. 설계하중에 대한 실험체의 안정성을 평가하기 위해서 예비수치 해석을 수행한 결과, 계산된 주주재의 축력은 허용좌굴하중의 $80{\sim}90%$사이에 분포하고 있음을 확인하였다. 최대허용좌굴 하중의 270%까지 가력한 결과, 주주재의 면외거동을 구속하는데 취약한 절점에서 발생한 국부좌굴로 인하여 송전철탑이 파괴되었다. 하중-변위 곡선, 변위, 부재별 변형률을 검토한 결과, 이러한 국부좌굴의 발생은 동일한 단면내에서도 휨모멘트로 인해 항복응력에 도달하는 시간이 위치별로 다르기 때문에 변형의 불균형에 의해서 발생한 부가적인 편심에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

Tsing Ma Bridge in Hong Kong is the longest suspension bridge in the world carrying both highway and railway. It has two H-shape concrete towers, each of which is composed of two reinforced concrete legs and four deep transverse prestressed concrete beams. A series of wind tunnel tests have been performed to measure the aerodynamic coefficients of the tower legs and transverse beams in various arrangements. A 1:100 scaled 3D rigid model of the full bridge tower assembled from various tower components has been constructed for different test cases. The aerodynamic coefficients of the lower and upper segments of the windward and leeward tower legs and those of the transverse beams at different levels, with and without the dummy bridge deck model, were measured as a function of yaw wind angle. The effects of wind interference among the tower components and the influence of the bridge deck on the tower aerodynamic coefficients were also investigated. The results achieved can be used as the pertinent data for the comparison of the computed and field-measured fully coupled buffeting responses of the entire bridge under yaw winds.

There were two transmission tower collapses due to Typhoon 'Maemi' in 2003. The reason that a collapse was happened was excessive wind load. One was buckled in the leg part and the other was buckled in the middle bracing part. To investigate a steel transmission tower failure mechanism, 2nd order nonlinear analysis should be performed. Considering the effect of initial imperfection and theresidual stress of angle section during nonlinear analysis, this study can estimate the ultimate strength and the ultimate behavior of the transmission tower.

Friction-type reinforcing members(FRM) to enhance the resistance to wind loads of a transmission tower through both stiffness strengthening and damping increase are energy dissipation devices that utilize bending deflection of a tower leg. In this paper, the hysteretic behavior of the transmission tower structure with FRMs was experimentally investigated through cyclic loading tests on a half scale substructure model. Firstly, the variation of friction forces and durability of the FRM depending on the type of friction-inducing materials used in the FRM were examined by performing the cyclic loading tests on the FRM. Secondly, cyclic loading tests of a half-scale two-dimensional substructure model of a transmission tower with FRMs were conducted. Test results show that the FRM, of which desired maximum friction force is easily regulated by adjusting the amplitude of the torque applied to the bolts, have stable hysteretic behaviors and it is found that there exists the optimum torque depending on a design load by investigating the amount of energy dissipation of the FRMs according to the increase of torque.

This study aims to evaluate the dynamic responses of the jacket-type offshore wind turbine using FAST software (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures, and Turbulence). A systematic series of simulation cases of a 5 MW jacket-type offshore wind turbine, including wind-only, wave-only, wind & wave load cases are conducted. The dynamic responses of the wind turbine structure are obtained, including the structure displacement, rotor speed, thrust force, nacelle acceleration, bending moment at the tower bottom, and shear force on the jacket leg. The calculated time-domain results are transformed to frequency domain results using FFT and the environmental load with more impact on each dynamic response is identified. It is confirmed that the dynamic displacements of the wind turbine are dominant in the wave frequency under the incident wave alone condition, and the rotor thrust, nacelle acceleration, and bending moment at the bottom of the tower exhibit high responses in the natural frequency band of the wind turbine. In the wind only condition, all responses except the vertical displacement of the wind turbine are dominant at three times the rotor rotation frequency (considering the number of blades) generated by the wind. In a combined external force with wind and waves, it was observed that the horizontal displacement is dominant by the wind load. Additionally, the bending moment on the tower base is highly affected by the wind. The shear force of the jacket leg is basically influenced by the wave loads, but it can be affected by both the wind and wave loads especially under the turbulent wind and irregular wave conditions.
