In this study, circular sectional concrete-filled tube(CFT) column-to-foundation connections were numerically investigated in order to improve their structural details. A inner reinforced specimen with high-tension bolts and inner deformed bars was adopted from a previous experimental study to make the numerical model. The validity of the numerical method was verified through comparing the experimental results with the analysis’s ones. In order to optimize design variables about the inner reinforced model, a number of numerical analyses were conducted for various variables. Finally, this study suggested the optimum variables about the reinforced circular sectional CFT column-to-foundation connections.

In this study, an externally reinforced structural system for SMC(Sheet Molding Compound) panel water tank, designed according to the Japanese design code, is experimented to evaluate its seismic performance. The test tank is 3m long, 2m wide and 3m high, considering the capacity and size of the shaking table. The measured hydrodynamic pressures are found to be approximately 70% of the Japanese design code values. It may be partially due to the convex shape effect of the unit panels. The analytical results of externally reinforced system based on the measured dynamic water pressures are found in good agreement with the test results. If the design hydrodynamic pressures are estimated properly, the proposed analytical model for the externally reinforced water tank becomes a useful design tool and the Japanese design code is found to provide a safe design for the external frames of SMC panel water tank.

In this study, multiple regression analysis was conducted using traffic volume, temperature and strain, which are maintenance data of suspension bridge(Diamond Bridge in Busan). As a result of analysis, the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable, strain, was found to be .304 for light and compact car traffic, .476 for large and special car traffic and .167 for the average temperature of reinforced truss

The water tanks are widely used for the safe storage of potable water, which are installed on either the basement or the top floor inside of the buildings. Therefore, the water tank systems assembled with many unit panels are generally adopted and the rectangular plan water tanks are most popular. To resist the water pressure acting on the side walls of tanks the internally reinforced system using metal tie-bars has been most commonly used. However, many problems related to the lattice internal reinforcement system require the development of the externally reinforced water tank, which does not have any latticed tie bars inside the tank. In this study two different systems have been developed using the external steel frames with either the SMC water tank panels or the PosMAC(coated steel) water tank panels. The experimental tests have been performed under the static hydraulic loadings as well as the seismic loadings through the shaking table test.

A object of this Experiment is to present a experimental method to verify the detection algorithm of abnormal behavior In order to achieve the desired, a cable stayed bridge model was prepared. The experiments lead to damage of stiffening girders and measuring this by changing the weight.

This study conducted seismic performance evaluation of externally reinforced water tank using shaking table test. From the shaking table test result, externally reinforced system shows sufficient stiffness for water tanks and high natural frequency over 8Hz. The test result also showed safety result of induced maximum stress of water tank shown in the allowable stress.
