There has been an increasing demand for introducing a base isolation system to secure the seismic safety of a nuclear power plant. However, the design criteria and the safety assessment methodology of a base isolated nuclear facility are still being developed. A performance based design concept for the base isolation system needs to be added to the general seismic design procedures. For the base isolation system, the displacement responses of isolators excited by the extended design basis earthquake are important as well as the design displacement. The possible displacement response by the extended design basis earthquake should be limited less than the failure displacement of the isolator. The failure of isolators were investigated by an experimental test to define the ultimate strain level of rubber bearings. The uncertainty analysis, considering the variations of the mechanical properties of isolators and input ground motions, was performed to estimate the probabilistic distribution of the isolator displacement. The relationship of the displacement response by each ground motion level was compared in view of a period elongation and a reduction of damping. Finally, several examples of isolator parameters are calculated and the considerations for an acceptable isolation design is discussed.

본 연구는 보강재를 사용하지 않은 기존 RC기둥과 CSF (고연성재로 보강한 RC기둥) 등 2가지 형태의 기둥에 대한 내진성능특성과 변위연성도 특성 분석을 연구목적으로 한다. 이러한 특성들을 유한요소법에 의한 해석과 실험으로 분석한 결과, CSF의 균열양상과 하중-변위 곡선에 대한 실험치와 해석치는 유사함을 보였다. 보강하지 않은 기둥 (CNF)은 전단균열이 지배적이나 보강기둥 (CSF)은 휨균열이 지배적이다. 보강기둥의 최대변위 크기와 변위연성도는 CNF와 비교하여 큰 증가를 나타낸다. 그러므로 기존기둥의 내진성능과 변위연성도 향상시킬 때 CSF는 CNF의 대체구조로 사용할 수 있다.

소형 압력 토조(small pressure chamber)를 이용하여 포화된 사질토에 타입된 폐단 강관 말뚝의 인발거동 특성을 연구하였다. 소형 압력 토조 시험에서는 인발 하중이 인발변위와 함께 증가하다가 급작스러운 미끄러짐 변위가 발생되는 현상이 2-3회 반복되다가 완전 인발파괴에 이르게 되는데, 이때 첫번째 미끄러짐 변위가 발생하는 하중의 크기를 극한 인발 지지력으로 정의할 수 있다. 또한, 소형 압력 토조 시험에서는 미세한 시험 조건에 의해서도 극한 인발 지지력의 크기가 50% 이상의 오차를 나타낼 수도 있으므로 모형 지반을 형성할 때마다 인발 재하 시험에 의하여 극한 인발 지지력을 결정하여 사용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단되며, 이때 1차 인발 시험에 의해 교란된 지반의 상태는 모형 말뚝의 크기에 적합한 타격에너지를 가해주어 회복시킬 수 있다.

이 논문에서는 복잡한 기하학적 형상과 비선형 특성들을 보이는 곡선 프리스트레스트 콘크리트(PSC) 사장교의 극한거동을 안정적으로 예측하기 위한 비선형 해법을 제시하였다. PSC 교량 구조물의 비선형 거동 및 극한거동을 예측하기 위한 해법으로서 하중제어법(load control strategy)과 변위제어법(displacement control strategy)을 적용하였다. 콘크리트의 과다한 균열과 재료상태 및 케이블 장력의 급격한 변화로 인해 불평형력(unbalanced load)이 크게 변화하여 이들 두 해법으로 해를 구할 수 없는 경우에 대한 대안으로서 불평형력을 적정한 비율로 감소시키면서 하중제어 법을 적용하여 해를 안정적으로 구해 나가는 불평형력 감쇠(scale-down of the unbalanced load)를 적용한 하중제어법을 제시하였다. PSC 거더교의 극한해석을 수행하여 불평형력 감쇠를 적용한 하중제어법의 정당성을 평가하였다. 또한 곡선 PSC 사장교의 극한해석에 이 논문에서 제시한 비선형 해법을 적용하여 복잡한 비선형성으로 인해 해가 수렴하기 어려운 해석에도 이 해법이 유용함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 1-2W형 플라스틱피복 파이프 온실의 내풍성을 증대시키기 위하여 형상 및 직경이 서로 다른 말뚝에 대하여 인발저항력을 검토하였다. 그 결과 민말뚝의 경우, 인발하중이 증가함에 따라 인발저항력은 증가하지만, 대부분의 경우 인발변위가 발생한 직후의 하중단계에서 극한인발저항력에 도달하였다. 그러나 주름말뚝의 경우는 인발변위가 발생한 이후에도 실험을 종료할 때까지 인발저항력의 증감이 반복되는 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 기초의 형상, 직경 및 매입깊이에 따라 극한인발저항력은 다르지만, 본 실험의 경우 직경과 매입깊이에 관계없이 극한인발저항력은 주름말뚝이 민말뚝보다 약 2배 정도 크게 나타났다. 단위면적당 극한인발저항력은 매입깊이가 깊어질수록 증가하지만, 직경이 커지면 감소하였다. 실험 대상지역의 설계풍속(26.9m.s$^{-1}$)을 고려하면, 민말뚝은 매입깊이에 관계없이 기초의 인발저항력이 부족하였고, 주름말뚝의 경우은 대부분의 실험조건에서 충분한 것으로 나타났다.

Investigations of low-rice unbounded reinforced concrete shear walls with or without openings are performed with comparison of analytical and experimental results. Theoretical analysis is based on nonlinear finite element algorithm, which incorporates concrete failure criterion and nonlinear constitutive relationships. Studios focus on the effects of height-to-length ratio of shear walls, opening ratio, horizontal and vertical reinforcement radios, and diagonal reinforcement. Analytical solutions conform well with experimental results. Equations for cracking, yielding and ultimate loads with corresponding lateral displacements are derived by regression using analytical results and experimental data. Also, failure modes of low-rise unbounded shear walls are theoretically investigated. An explanation of change in failure mode is ascertained by comparing analytical results and ACI code equations. Shear-flexural failure can be obtained with additional flexural reinforcement to increase a wall's capacity. This concept leads to a design method of reducing flexural reinforcement in low-rise bounded solid shear wall's. Avoidance of shear failure as well as less reinforcement congestion leer these walls is expected.

In this thesis, the fracture tests were performed on a series of reinforced concrete to investigate the variation of strength and the fracture safety of reinforced concrete structures. The specimens were of the same rectangular cross-section, of effective height 24cm and width 30cm and their span was 330cm. The three point loading system is used in the fracture tests. In these tests, the yield load, the ultimate load, the flexural strain and the mid-span displacement were detected. According to the results of these tests, the fracture behavior of reinforced concrete structures can be summarized as the follows : There Is no difference between the singly and doubly reinforced rectangular beams before the yield load. But from the yield load up to the ultimate load, the mid-span displacement of the singly reinforced rectangular beams are about two times larger than those of the doubly reinforced rectangular beams, The fracture energy of the doubly reinforced rectangular beams are one and half times compared to that of the singly reinforced rectangular beams. Based on the above investigation, it could be concluded that the doubly reinforced rectangular beam is more efficient to resist the brittle fracture than the singly reinforced rectangular beam.

Stress-strain models of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) confined concrete have been widely investigated; however, the existing load which is always supported by structures during the retrofitting phase, namely 'preload', has been neglected. Thus, preload effects should be clarified, providing insightful information for FRP retrofitting of structures with preload conditions. Towards this aim, experiments were performed for 27 cylinder concrete specimens with the diameter 150 mm and the height 300 mm. Three specimens were used to test the compressive strength of concrete to compute the preloads 20%, 30% and 40% of the average strength of these specimens. Other 24 specimens were divided into 2 groups; each group included 4 subgroups. Four subgroups were subjected to the above preloads and no preload, and were then wrapped by 2 FRP layers. Similar designation is applied to group 2, but wrapped by 3 FRP layers. All specimens were tested under axial compression to failure. Explosive failure is found to be the characteristic of specimens wrapped by FRP. Experimental results indicated that the preload decreases 12-13% the elastic and second stiffness of concrete specimens wrapped by 2 FRP layers. The stiffness reduction can be mitigated by the increase of FRP layers. Preload negligibly reduces the ultimate force and unclearly affects the ultimate displacement probably due to complicated cracks developed in concrete. A mechanism of preload effects is presented in the paper. Finally, to take into account preload effects, a modification of the widely used model of un-preload FRP confined concrete is proposed and the modified model demonstrated with a reasonable accuracy.

This experimental study was devoted to investigate skin friction of H group piles with uplift loading conditions in granite soil under laboratory test. Model piles made of steel embedded in weathered granite soil were used in this study. Pile arrangements($2{\times}2,\;3{\times}3$), pile space(2D, 4D, 6D), and soil density($D_r=40%,\;80%$) were tested. The main results obtained from the model tests can be summarized as follows. The series of tests found that ultimate uplift load and displacement for group piles were increased as piles space ratio increases to $D_r=40%$ of soil density. In the relative density of $D_r=80%$, bearing capacity for group piles was greater than for single pile. In the relative density of $D_r=40%$, the theoretical value of skin friction for group piles was greater than practical value. In the relative density of $D_r=80%$, both theoretical and practical value of skin friction for group piles were increased as piles space ratio increases.

In order to analyze the vibration control effect of viscous damper in the concrete archaized buildings with lintel-column joints under seismic action, 3 specimens were tested under dynamic excitation. Two specimens with viscous damper were defined as the controlled component and one specimen without viscous damper was specified as the non-controlled component. The loading process and failure patterns were obtained from the test results. The failure characteristics, skeleton curves and mechanical behavior such as the load-displacement hysteretic loops, load carrying capacity, degradation of strength and rigidity, ductility and energy dissipation of the joints were analyzed. The results indicate that the load-bearing capacity of the controlled component is significantly higher than that of the non-controlled component. The former component has an average increase of 27.4% in yield load and 22.4% in ultimate load, respectively. Meanwhile, the performance of displacement ductility and the ability of energy dissipation for the controlled component are superior to those of the non-controlled component as well. Compared with non-controlled component, equivalent viscous damping coefficients are improved by 27.3%-30.8%, the average increase is 29.0% at ultimate load for controlled component. All these results reflect that the seismic performance of the controlled component is significantly better than that of the non-controlled component. These researches are helpful for practical application of viscous damper in the concrete archaizing buildings with lintel-column joints.
