The effect of reinforcing concrete members with high strength steel bars with yield strength up to 600 MPa on the overall seismic behavior of concrete moment frames was studied experimentally and numerically. Three geometrically identical plane frame models with two bays and two stories, where one frame model was reinforced with hot rolled bars (HRB) with a nominal yield strength of 335 MPa and the other two by high strength steel bars with a nominal yield strength of 600 MPa, were tested under simulated earthquake action considering different axial load ratios to investigate the hysteretic behavior, ductility, strength and stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and plastic deformation characteristics. Test results indicate that utilizing high strength reinforcement can improve the structural resilience, reduce residual deformation and achieve favorable distribution pattern of plastic hinges on beams and columns. The frame models reinforced with normal and high strength steel bars have comparable overall deformation capacity. Compared with the frame model subjected to a low axial load ratio, the ones under a higher axial load ratio exhibit more plump hysteretic loops. The proved reliable finite element analysis software DIANA was used for the numerical simulation of the tests. The analytical results agree well with the experimental results.

용접 넥 플랜지는 파이프간의 상호연결에 널리 사용되고 있다. 이 플랜지는 열간 단조 공정으로 제작되며, 심해에서 고압이 요구되는 분야에 사용되는 경우 플랜지 기저부 및 목 부분에 높은 항복강도가 요구된다. 일반적으로 항복강도 향상을 위해 탄소함유량을 높이면 고 강도를 얻을 수 있으나, 용접이 요구되는 제품의 특성상 탄소함유량을 최대 0.47로 제한함으로써 고용체 강화에 의한 강도 향상에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 경우 탄소 함유량의 변화 없이 강도를 향상시킬 수 있는 결정립 미세화 강화를 이용하여 제품의 항복강도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다구찌 기법을 통해 최적의 결정립 미세화를 위한 단조공정을 제시하고 타당성을 검토하기 위해 유한요소해석을 수행하였다.

이 연구에서는 콘크리트 압축강도에 따른 고강도 나선철근의 횡구속 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 총 24체의 실린더형 콘크리트 실험체($150{\times}300mm$)를 제작하고 단조 압축하중 실험을 수행하였다. 주요 실험변수는 나선철근의 항복강도와 콘크리트 압축강도로 계획하였다. 나선철근의 항복강도에 따른 횡구속 효과를 효과적으로 평가하기 위하여 나선철근의 외경을 실험체 직경과 동일하게 계획하였다. 실험결과, 나선철근의 횡구속 성능은 나선철근의 항복강도가 증가할수록 그리고 콘크리트 압축강도가 낮아질수록 증가하였다. 또한 기존 해석모델을 이용하여 실험체의 응력-축변형률 관계를 예측한 결과, 해석결과는 나선철근의 항복강도와 콘크리트 압축강도가 증가할수록 정확성이 떨어지는 것으로 확인되었다.

Modern seismic codes rely on performance-based seismic design methodology which requires that the structures withstand inelastic deformation. Many studies have focused on the inelastic deformation ratio evaluation (ratio between the inelastic and elastic maximum lateral displacement demands) for various inelastic spectra. This paper investigates the inelastic response spectra through the ductility demand ${\mu}$, the yield strength reduction factor $R_y$, and the inelastic deformation ratio. They depend on the vibration period T, the post-to-preyield stiffness ratio ${\alpha}$, the peak ground acceleration (PGA), and the normalized yield strength coefficient ${\eta}$ (ratio of yield strength coefficient divided by the PGA). A new inelastic deformation ratio $C_{\eta}$ is defined; it is related to the capacity curve (pushover curve) through the coefficient (${\eta}$) and the ratio (${\alpha}$) that are used as control parameters. A set of 140 real ground motions is selected. The structures are bilinear inelastic single degree of freedom systems (SDOF). The sensitivity of the resulting inelastic deformation ratio mean values is discussed for different levels of normalized yield strength coefficient. The influence of vibration period T, post-to-preyield stiffness ratio ${\alpha}$, normalized yield strength coefficient ${\eta}$, earthquake magnitude, ruptures distance (i.e., to fault rupture) and site conditions is also investigated. A regression analysis leads to simplified expressions of this inelastic deformation ratio. These simplified equations estimate the inelastic deformation ratio for structures, which is a key parameter for design or evaluation. The results show that, for a given level of normalized yield strength coefficient, these inelastic displacement ratios become non sensitive to none of the rupture distance, the earthquake magnitude or the site class. Furthermore, they show that the post-to-preyield stiffness has a negligible effect on the inelastic deformation ratio if the normalized yield strength coefficient is greater than unity.

AISC-LRFD, ACI 318 and Korean design specifications for concrete filled circular steel tube columns do not consider the increasing of axial stiffness such as the elastic modulus and the yield strength due to the confinement effect. AISC-LRFD and ACI 318, however, shows different basic philosophy and equations for computing the elastic modulus and the strength of CFT columns. Through this experimental study, 9 circular CFT column specimens were made by varying thickness steel tube and concrete strength, the axial stiffness were compared. The comparison between the design specifications and the test results shows different values on the elastic modulus and yield strength of the CFT columns. Even though, yield strength of the CFT columns are very similar between AISC-LRFD and Korean design specifications.

This study examines the effect of microstructural factors on the strength and deformability of ferrite-pearlite steels. Six kinds of ferrite-pearlite steel specimens are fabricated with the addition of different amounst of Mn and V and with varying the isothermal transformation temperature. The Mn steel specimen with a highest Mn content has the highest pearlite volume fraction because Mn addition inhibits the formation of ferrite. The V steel specimen with a highest V content has the finest ferrite grain size and lowest pearlite volume fraction because a large amount of ferrite forms in fine austenite grain boundaries that are generated by the pinning effect of many VC precipitates. On the other hand, the room-temperature tensile test results show that the V steel specimen has a longer yield point elongation than other specimens due to the highest ferrite volume fraction. The V specimen has the highest yield strength because of a larger amount of VC precipitates and grain refinement strengthening, while the Mn specimen has the highest tensile strength because the highest pearlite volume fraction largely enhances work hardening. Furthermore, the tensile strength increases with a higher transformation temperature because increasing the precipitate fraction with a higher transformation temperature improves work hardening. The results reveal that an increasing transformation temperature decreases the yield ratio. Meanwhile, the yield ratio decreases with an increasing ferrite grain size because ferrite grain size refinement largely increases the yield strength. However, the uniform elongation shows no significant changes of the microstructural factors.

One of the important requirements for the application of reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel is to retain proper mechanical properties under irradiation and high-temperature conditions. To simulate the yield strength and stress-strain curve of steels during high-temperature and irradiation conditions, a multiscale simulation method consisting of both microstructure and strengthening simulations was established. The simulation results of microstructure parameters were added to a superposition strengthening model, which consisted of constitutive models of different strengthening methods. Based on the simulation results, the strength contribution for different strengthening methods at both room temperature and high-temperature conditions was analyzed. The simulation results of the yield strength in irradiation and high-temperature conditions were mainly consistent with the experimental results. The optimal application field of this multiscale model was 9Cr series (7-9 wt.%Cr) RAFM steels in a condition characterized by 0.1-5 dpa (or 0 dpa) and a temperature range of $25-500^{\circ}C$.

Common structural rules of JBP(Joint Bulker Project) and JTP(Joint Tanker Project), which will come into effect in 2006, invoke the necessity of the ultimate limit state(ULS) design for ship structures. Even though the many applications of ULS analysis have been performed for ship structures, there have few studies carried out for deck machineries and their supporting structures. Recently four major Korean shipbuilders(DSME, HHI, HHIC, SHI) jointly developed and proposed a new design standards for mooring fittings and also proposed the SWL (Safety Working Load) obtained based on the first yield criterion. In this study, various ultimate strength analyses were performed for bollards and their foundation structures whose yield strengths were quantified by the research consortium. Prior to performing the ultimate strength analyses, the numerical calculation method was substantiated with the test results provided in the joint work report. Based upon the results of this study, it can be concluded that the reinforcements to increase the yield strength are not always resulted in the enhancement of the ultimate strength. Furthermore, the additional production costs for the reinforcements can not be rewarded by the ultimate strength. Therefore, another alternative arrangements should be developed in the view point of ultimate strength.

600MPa급 고강도 강관은 항복강도와 항복비에 대한 제한이 따른다. 현재 여러 기준에는 항복강도 360MPa 이하, 항복비 80% 이하를 사용하도록 권장하고 있다. 한계상태에서 고강도 강재의 압축세장비가 저강도 강재보다 작아져 압축지관의 좌굴발생이 야기되기 때문에 압축좌굴에 대한 거동을 이해하는 것은 필수적이다. 또한 각형강관에 대한 많은 실험데이터는 있지만 고강도 원형강관에 대한 실험은 많지 않다. 그래서 이 논문의 주된 목적은 실험에 앞서 원형강관을 유한요소 해석을 통하여 압축 좌굴과 고강도 강재의 접합부 한계상태식에 대한 검증을 통하여 600MPa와 400MPa 강재의 사용성을 알고자 하는 것이다. 이 해석은 구조물의 거동을 이해하기 위하여 폭두께비, 지관각도, 항복비, 편심을 주된 변수로 하여 범용프로그램인 아바쿠스를 사용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 같은 하중에서 고강도 강재의 압축지관은 탄성좌굴이 발생하고 저강도 강재는 비탄성좌굴이 발생하는 것을 확인하였고 항복비가 80%이상인 경우 접합부가 취성파괴 되었다. 그리고 고강도 강재에서 주강관의 폭두께비를 변화시켰을 때 주관과 지관의 상대적인 폭두께비로 인해 해석값이 기준값보다 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 그 외 변수들로 인한 해석상 고강도 강재의 접합부 하중의 변화는 없는 것으로 확인하였다.
