A new type of connection for steel-concrete composite bridges was developed by the Steel Structures Laboratory of Ecole Poytechinque $F{\acute{e}}d{\acute{e}}rale$ de Lausanne. Resistance to longitudinal shear is based on the development of shear stresses in the confined interfaces which form the connection. Confinement is provided by the reinforced concrete slab which encloses the connection and restrains the uplift (lateral separation) of the interfaces by developing normal stresses. The experimental investigation of the interfaces, under static and cyclic loading, enabled the development of the laws describing the structural behaviour of each interface. Those laws were presented by the authors in previous papers. The current paper focuses on the continuity of the research. It presents the experimental investigation on the new connection by means of push-out tests on specimens submitted to static and cyclic shear loading. Investigation revealed that the damage in the connection, due to cyclic loading, is expressed by the accumulation of a residual slip. A safe fatigue failure criterion is proposed for the connection which enabled the verification of the connection for the fatigue limit state with respect to the limit of fatigue. A numerical model is developed which takes into account the laws describing the interface behaviour and the analytical expressions for the confinement effect, the latter obtained by performing finite element analysis. This numerical model predicts the shear resistance of the connection and enables to assess its fatigue limit which is necessary for the fatigue design proposed.

CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) has many advantage over the conventional jointed rail track. The use of CWR track not only reduces the track maintenance cost, but increase the life cycle of track components. As the use of CWR increases in track structures, derailing disasters associating with track buckling also increase in great numbers due to high compressive thermal stress. Despite the importance, the number of studies relevant to the instability is quite limited. In this paper, It considers the contribution of rail-pad-fastener resistance, uplift of tie and nonlinear analysis. Influence of various track components on CWR track temperature and mode shape were characterized.

In steel-concrete composite beams, to improve the cracking resistance of the concrete slab in the hogging moment region, a new type of connector in the interface, named uplift-restricted and slip-permitted screw-type (URSP-S) connector has been proposed. This paper focuses on the behavior of steel-concrete composite beams with URSP-S connectors. A total of three beam specimens including a simply supported beam with URSP-S connectors and two continuous composite beams with different connectors arrangements were designed and tested. More specifically, one continuous composite beam was equipped with URSP-S connectors in negative moment region and traditional shear studs in other regions. For comparison, the other one was designed with only traditional shear studs. The failure modes, crack evolution process, ultimate capacities, strain responses at different locations as well as the interface slip of the three tested specimens were measured and evaluated in-depth. Based on the experimental study, the research findings indicate that the larger slip deformation is allowed while using URSP-S connectors. Meanwhile, the tensile stress reduces and the cracking resistance of the concrete slab improves accordingly. In addition, the overall stiffness and strength of the composite beam become slightly lower than those of the composite beam using traditional shear studs. Moreover, the arrangement suggestion of URSP-S connectors in the composite beam is discussed in this paper for its practical design and application.

본 연구에서는 복합형 지지방식으로 개발된 MC앵커에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. MC앵커는 선단 정착장치가 확장되어 천공된 공벽에 지압력이 발휘됨에 따라 인발력 증대와 그라우팅이 제대로 이루어지지 않을 경우에도 앵커체가 지반에서 탈락하지 않는 특성이 있다. 또한, 앵커강선과 더불어 보강철근을 삽입하여 인장손실을 감소시키는 동시에 시공성을 높이고 앵커강선의 손실이 발생하였을 때 네일의 역할을 기대할 수 있어 장기적인 안정성 향상을 꾀할 수 있다. 그러나, MC앵커와 같은 복합형 앵커는 마찰형 앵커와 지지구조가 다르기 때문에 지반과 그라우트의 마찰력에 의한 인발력 산정방식은 적합하지 않다. 특히, 국내의 경우에는 복합형 앵커에 대하여 지반특성을 고려한 설계법이 명확하게 정립되어 있지 않아 복합형 앵커의 인발력이 과소 또는 과대 평가되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 복합형 앵커의 일종인 MC앵커의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 강도변화가 심한 셰일지반을 대상으로 총 9개소에서 시험앵커를 시공하여 인발, 인장 및 장기변위를 측정하였다. 또한, 시험결과를 일반 마찰형 앵커의 경우와 비교, 분석하여 MC앵커의 거동 특성을 평가하였으며, 시험결과 셰일층에서 MC앵커는 일반 마찰형 앵커에 비해 인발력 증대효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

일반마이크로파일의 저항성능을 개선시키기 위해 최근에 토목섬유을 활용한 팩마이크로파일이 개발되었다. 팩마이크로파일은 일반마이크로파일의 강봉이나 강관을 토목섬유팩으로 감싸고 주입재와 주입압을 토목섬유팩 내부에 가하여 제작한다. 이 주입압에 의하여 천공 직경이 크게 확대된다. 동일한 한 지반 속에 설치된 세 개의 마이크로파일을 대상으로 일련의 말뚝인발시험을 실시하였다. 세 말뚝 중 두 개는 팩마이크로파일였고 나머지 하나는 강봉을 사용한 일반마이크로파일이였다. 토목섬유팩에 적용된 주입압에 의하여 팩마이크로파일의 경우 천공직경이 152mm에서 220mm으로 확대되었다. 마이크로파일의 주면에서 발달하는 단위주면마찰력은 말뚝두부의 인발변위량의 증가와 함께 서서히 증가하여 한계상태에 도달한 한계변위량에서 수렴치에 도달한다. 팩마이크로파일의 인발저항력은 일반마이크로파일의 인발저항력보다 크게 나타난다. 이와 같은 팩마이크로파일의 인발저항력을 증대시킬 수 있는 원인으로는 크게 두 가지를 생각할 수 있다; 첫째는 마이크로파일에 설치한 토목섬유팩내 주입압으로 마이크로파일의 단면적을 증대시키므로 말뚝주면의 마찰저항면적을 증대시킬 수 있기 때문이고, 둘째는 마이크로파일의 단면이 확대될 때 확대되는 부분의 체적만큼의 토사가 주변지반을 압축시켜 말뚝과 지반 사이의 마찰저항력을 증대시킬 수 있기 때문이다. 이 압축효과는 지표면 부근 보다 깊은 지층에서 크게 나타났다. 말뚝 주면에서 발휘되는 단위주면마찰력은 말뚝의 직경이 작은 경우가 더 크게 발휘된다. 즉 마이크로파일의 주면에서 발달되는 단위주면마찰력은 대구경 현장타설말뚝의 주면에서 발달되는 단위주면마찰력보다 크게 나타난다.

Reinforced concrete structural walls are widely known to provide an efficient lateral load resistance and drift control. However, many reported researches on them are mostly limited to the RC structural walls reinforced according to seismic details. When the pushover analysis technique is used for the prediction of inelastic behavior of frame-wall structures for the seismic evaluation of existing buildings having non-seismic details, the reliability of this analysis method should be checked by the test results. The objective of this study is to verify the correlation between the experimental and analytical responses of a high-rise reinforced concrete frame-wall structure having non-seismic details by using DRAIN-2DX program[11] and the test results performed previously[1]. It is concluded that the behavior of the frame-wall model is mainly affected by the fixed-end rotation(uplift at base) and bending deformation of the wall and that the analysis with the LINKS model[10] in DRAIN-2DX describes them with good reliability.

A numerical study has been conducted to examine the improvement achieved in the ultimate pullout capacity of horizontal circular anchor plates embedded in undrained clay, by constructing granular columns of varying diameter over the anchor plates. The analysis has been carried out by using lower bound theorem of limit analysis and finite elements in combination with linear programming. The improvement in uplifting capacity of anchor plate is expressed in terms of an efficiency factor (${\xi}$). The efficiency factor (${\xi}$) has been defined as the ratio of ultimate vertical pullout capacity of anchor plate having diameter D embedded in soft clay reinforced by granular column to the vertical pullout capacity of the anchor plate with same diameter D embedded in soft clay only. The variation of efficiency factor (${\xi}$) for different embedment ratios and different diameter of granular column has been studied considering a wide range of softness of clay and different value of soil internal friction angle (${\phi}$) of the granular material. It is observed that ${\xi}$ increases with an increase in diameter of the granular column ($D_t$) and increase in friction angle of granular material. Also, the effectiveness of the usage of granular column increases with decrease in cohesion of the clay.

In this study we carried out to analyze the effect of wind load on the structural stability of a container crane according to the change of the boom shape using wind tunnel test and provided a container crane designer with data which can be used in a wind resistance design of a container crane assuming that a wind load at 75m/s wind velocity is applied on a container crane. Data acquisition conditions for this experiment were established in accordance with the similarity. The scale of a container crane dimension, wind velocity and time were chosen as 1/200, 1/13.3 and 1/15. And this experiment was implemented in an Eiffel type atmospheric boundary-layer wind tunnel with $11.52m^2$ cross-section area. Each directional drag and overturning moment coefficients were investigated and uplift forces at each supporting point due to the wind load were analyzed.
