This paper discusses the influence of transverse reinforcement spacing and support width of concrete wide beam on shear performance. In order to evaluate the shear performance, a total of thirteen specimens were constructed and tested. The transverse reinforcement spacing, the number of legs and support width were considered as variables. From the test results, the shear strength equation of concrete wide beam is proposed for prediction of shear strength of concrete wide beam to consider the transverse reinforcement spacing and support width. It is shown that the proposed equation is able to predict shear strength reasonably well for concrete wide beam.

All structures can not be perfect due to geometric or material initial imperfections. Initial imperfections are an important factor in determining the buckling mode and are known to be important factors in evaluating the actual buckling strength. The DNV-RP-C202 design standard limits the longitudinal stiffener spacing. However, the criteria for the stiffener spacing presented in DNV-RP-C202 is a guideline derived from the curved panel theory of perfect cross-sectional shape without initial imperfections. In this study, considering geometric initial imperfections, the transition point of stiffener spacing where longitudinal stiffeners affect the buckling strength of reinforced steel wind turbine tower is analyzed using finite element analysis program. The results of finite element analysis compared with theoretical results based on the perfect shape. As a result, a more reasonable stiffener spacing considering the initial imperfections was suggested.

본 논문에서는 유공형 강판의 횡방향 보강간격에 따른 넓은 보의 전단성능을 실험적으로 평가하기 위하여 횡방향 전단보강 간격과 넓은 보의 유효깊이를 변수로 고려하였다. 시험체는 총 8개로 유공형 강판으로 전단보강한 시험체가 5개, 무보강 시험체가 3개이다. 균열 및 파괴유형, 변형률과 하중-변위 곡선을 분석하였다. 유공형 전단보강재의 전단강도 기여분을 분석하고, 횡방향 전단보강의 최대간격을 제안하였다. 횡방향 전단보강 개수가 2개인 시험체에 비해 3개인 시험체에서 전단강도가 크게 나타났으며 유효깊이가 증가할수록 전단강도가 크게 나타났다.
