When the SC structure is partially applied to a nuclear power plant building, an RC-SC connection part is generated between the SC wall and the RC slabs or RC walls. If the difference in flexural stiffness between the RC part and the RC-SC connection part is large, compressive failure of the concrete near the RC-SC connection part may occur. In this study, the flexural stiffness relaxation design such as the approach slab concept was applied and the fracture behavior was analyzed using finite element analysis. As a result, it was confirmed that concrete cracks near RC-SC connection part were reduced when flexural stiffness relaxation design is applied.

In the KEPIC-SNG, the domestic technical standard of the SC structure, the condition that the baseplate supporting the reinforcing bars is not bonded to the surface plate is suggested. However, if the baseplate is bonded only to the wingplate, all of the rebar loads generated on the baseplate will be transferred to the wingplate. The wingplate is expected to be conservatively designed in spacing and thickness to support the rebar load. In this study, the finite element analysis was carried out according to bonding conditions between surface plate and baseplate. As a result, it was confirmed that the overall structural strength was increased when the baseplate and the surface plate were bonded. Based on this result, it is possible to propose an economical design for the RC-SC connection such as increasing the wingplate spacing.

본 논문에서는 지점부 경계조건을 고려하여 단순보의 유한요소모델을 개선하는 기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 유한요소모델개선 기법은 주로 가속도 응답으로부터 추정된 동특성(고유진동수, 모드형상)을 이용하여 유한요소모델을 개선하였다. 이렇게 개선된 유한요소모델은 실제 구조물의 정적응답을 예측하기 어렵고, 잘못된 구조물의 물성치를 추정하는 문제가 발생한다. 제안된 기법은 먼저, 구조물의 처짐과 지점부 회전변위를 계측하여 지점부 경계조건을 간략화한 유한요소모델의 회전 스프링 강성을 정량적으로 추정한다. 회전 스프링 강성이 개선된 유한요소모델과 구조물의 동특성을 사용하여 구조물의 물성치를 추정함으로써 최종 개선된 유한요소모델을 구축된다. 제안된 유한요소 모델 개선 기법과 기존 유한요소모델개선 기법을 수치해석 시뮬레이션을 통하여 비교 및 검증하였다.

In this paper, the finite element model updating method of the PSC bridge based on the static and dynamic data is verified through field experiment. The proposed method consists of two steps. First, update the rotational stiffness of the supports using the deflection and rotational displacement measurements that occur when the moving loads pass through the bridge. The stiffness of each member is updated by using the dynamic characteristics estimated from the acceleration measured by the ambient vibration test. The finite element model updated by the proposed method can predict the static and dynamic behavior of actual bridges through field experiment.

Finite Element Model(FEM) is generally used for evaluating a bridge construction. But it has discrepancy between measured data of real structure and analysis value of FEM. Therefore, FEM has to reflect characteristics of real structure using FEM updating. Static and dynamic data used to FEM updating update different characteristic of FEM. However, since it is difficult to measure static data, static information extracted from dynamic measured data can be used. In this study, new concept, LDFAC, using Lateral Distribution Factor(LDF) extracted from dynamic data is introduced as static information. As the analysis results, it is verified to get more accurate updating value when updating FEM with LDFAC.

In countries that suffer from heavy rain such as Korea, bridges have to be prepared for a sudden water level increase. However, research on the flood risk assessment for bridges has gained less attention than earthquakes, even though one of the major causes of bridge failures has been reported to be flood. In addition, various sources of uncertainty make it challenging to evaluate the flood fragility of a bridge, and there have been few studies on the flood fragility curve derivation for bridges. The present study proposes a new methodology employing finite element reliability analysis to derive flood fragility curve. In the proposed method, two software packages, ABAQUS and FERUM, are connected so that reliability analysis can be performed in conjunction with sophisticated finite element analysis flood fragility assessment. The method is applied a real bridge in Korea, and flood fragility curves are derived for multiple damage states.

In this paper, the peak impact factor response spectrum is verified through finite element (FE) analysis using a simply supported bridge. The FE model is a slab bridge designed with 4 m width and 8 m length. The FE analysis is applied on the bridge modeled with 2D frame and 3D solid. By considering 5% damping ratio, the peak impact factors of the FE models and the response spectrum are compared. From the results, a very small difference of about 1.5% is found between the FE models and the response spectrum.
