This study is to evaluate the seismic demand of reinforced concrete structure considering the incident angle of the ground motions. For this purpose, a three-story structure is numerically analyzed under the three ground motion records through a multi-component incremental dynamic analysis (MIDA). The MIDA, an implementation of Incremental dynamic analysis, investigates two components of seismic excitation in which all accelerations are scaled to spectral accelerations at the fundamental natural periods of the buildings. The obtained results indicate the influence of the incident angle should be considered in the assessment response of structures. Maximum inter-story drift of structure will behave in the elastic or inelastic range depending on the variable incident angle
Numerical behavior of GFRP(Fiber Reinforced Polymer) infill panel in steel frame structure was evaluated through the finite element analysis in this study. In order to numerical analysis, a experimental test results was used to develop a three dimensional finite element model of steel frame specimen. Based on the developed three dimensional finite element model of steel frame specimen, the behavior of GFRP infill panel in the steel frame specimen was evaluated. From the numerical analysis results, strength of the steel frame specimen with GFRP infill panel was governed by GFRP infill panel. Also, diagonal compression behavior governed the GFRP infill panel in the steel frame specimen in the numerical analysis results.
Transition piece of offshore wind turbine tower is one of the main parts which takes the direct load and pass on to the lower support structure. In this study, a new design method for the transition piece has been developed. The trasition piece was designed based on the the load flow which was analyzed by approximation and was evaluated by FEM.
Soundless Chemical Demolition Agent (SCDA) has been spotlighted for demolition of concrete structure or rock near or in urban areas and historical places since it does not produce dust or rock fragmentations compared to explosive and gas pressure blasting methods. However, there is no guideline or design code for the demolition of existing structures using SCDA. In this study, numerical analysis using ABAQUS is conducted in order to find a minimum required pressure for the initiation of crack in concrete body with SCDA and obtained results in this study could be a basic data for design of hole spacing for the demolition of the structures using SCDAs.
Recently, as the awareness of safety has become more important, studies on damage assessment techniques for building structures have been actively conducted. The damage of the building structure is caused by the decrease of the stiffness which is inherent dynamic characteristic of the structural system, and the decrease of stiffness acts as a direct variable connected to the collapse of the structure. there have been developed techniques for estimating the inherent dynamics of a structure to identify and evaluate damage to the structure. In this study, we estimate the layer mass due to the modeling error through the optimization algorithm, Genetic Algorithm, and use the optimization algorithm GA to optimize the error covariance matrix, system noise and measured noise covariance matrix We propose an optimal state estimation algorithm. The objective function of the GA algorithm is obtained by the residual which is the difference between the measured values obtained from the EKF calculation and the values obtained from the system model. We verified the feasibility of the algorithm through a 4-DOF system.
The purpose of this research is to consider the qualitative and quantitative performance of reinforced concrete deteriorations using active infrared thermography (IRT) technique. An experiment of five different cases of environmental conditions was conducted on a concrete slab in laboratory. A comparison of the IRT results between normal and reinforced concrete is also discussed. The results showed that the absolute contrast between defective area and non-defective area increases with the increment of ambient temperature. Besides, the values of absolute contrast above delamination obtained from normal concrete showed high than those under effect of reinforcing steel bar.

전 세계적으로 지진발생이 빈번하고 많은 인명피해와 사회기반시설물의 피해가 발생하고 있다. 지진에 대한 보수, 보강기법에 대 한 연구가 많이 있었지만 대부분은 강성보강형태로 반복적인 하중이 구조물에 작용하면 2차적 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 강성보강이 아 닌 연성보강형태의 보수, 보강기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 철근 콘크리트 기둥 부재에 적용할 수 있는 보강 공법으로써 폴리머계의 고인성 과 고연성 효과를 나타내는 경질형 폴리우레아를 내진보강용 재료로 선택하였고 재료의 열화 및 내화학적 특성에 대한 내구 성능을 평가하였 다. 내구 성능 평가는 폴리우레아의 산 환경 및 자외선 노출 시험을 실시하였고, 폴리우레아를 도포한 콘크리트의 탄산화 노출 및 동결융해 시 험을 실시하였다. 내진보강용 폴리우레아는 모든 시험을 통하여 내구성능과 저항능력이 우수한 것으로 판단되며 추후 내진 보강 재료로써 유 용하게 사용될 것으로 사료된다.

Also, it can solve the problems in current visual inspection and systemize the inspection tasks scientifically.
Concrete structures built by 3D printing technology is formed as the several concrete layers. Thus, 3D printing technology for concrete structure could have less strength than the design.

Based on the results of performed tests, it was found that fracture energy was decreased due to increased non-bonded time
