Buckling, a form of failure happened to plated structures, is investigated in this study. The main focus is to investigate the effects of thickness of the plates having through-thickness holes on buckling when the plate is subjected to in-plane compression. Plates having length of 200mm and width of 100mm are chosen to have thickness in range from 0.50mm to 10mm. Two holes of diameters of 20mm are implemented in plates. The finite element procedure using ABAQUS is applied for analyses. Then using the Gerard and Becker equation compressive buckling coefficients, Kc, are calculated and presented to enable engineers to calculate buckling load for the desired plate with holes in specific dimension. In order to generalize the obtained results, verification analysis has been performed by taking plates having different dimensions from the original ones used in this study. The verification showed the capability of buckling coefficients to predict buckling stresses of plates in various dimensions.

Fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (FRP) materials have many advantages over conventional structural materials, i.e., high specific strength and stiffness, high corrosion resistance, right weight, etc. Among the various manufacturing methods, pultrusion process is one of the best choices for the mass production of structural plastic members. Since the major reinforcing fibers are placed along the axial direction of the member, this material is usually considered as an orthotropic material. However, pultruded FRP (PFRP) structural members have low modulus of elasticity and are composed of orthotropic thin plate components the members are prone to buckle. Therefore, stability is an important issue in the design of the pultruded FRP structural members. Many researchers have conducted related studies to publish the design method of FRP structures and recently, referred to the previous researches, pre-standard for LRFD of pultruded FRP structures is presented. In this paper, the accuracy and suitability of design equation for the local buckling strength of pultruded FRP I-shape compression members presented by ASCE are estimated. In the estimation, we compared the results obtained by design equation, closed-form solution, and experiments conducted by previous researches.

This study investigated characteristics of buckling load and effective buckling length by member rigidity of dome-typed space frame which was sensitive to initial conditions. A critical point and a buckling load were computed by analyzing the eigenvalues and determinants of the tangential stiffness matrix. The hexagonal pyramid model and star dome were selected for the case study in order to examine the nodal buckling and member buckling in accordance with member rigidity. From the numerical results, an effective buckling length factor of adopted models was bigger than that of Euler buckling for the case of fixed boundary. These numerical models indicated that the influence of nodal buckling was greater than that of member buckling as member rigidity was higher. Besides, there was a tendency that the bifurcation appeared on the equilibrium path before limit point in the member buckling model.

This research presents that seismic performance of steel moment resisting frame building designed by past provision(UBC, Uniform Building Code) before and after retrofitted with BRB (Buckling-Restrained Brace) was evaluated using response modification factor（R-factor). In addition, the seismic performance of the retrofitted past building was compared with that specified in current provision. The past building considered two different connections: bilinear connection, which was used by structural engineer for building design, and brittle connection observed in past earthquakes. The nonlinear pushover analysis and time history analysis were performed for the analytical models considered in this study. The R-factor was calculated based on the analytical results. When comparing the R-factor of the current provision with the calculated R-factor, the results were different due to the hysteresis characteristics of the connection types. After retrofitted with BRBs, the past buildings with the bilinear connection were satisfied with the seismic performance of the current provision. However, the past buildings with the brittle connection was significantly different with the R-factor of the current provision.

본 논문에서는 좌굴방지 가새 (BRBF)가 설치된 중저층 철골조 구조물의 초과강도계수를 평가하였다. 해석 모델의 설계변수로는 건물의 층 수, 경간의 길이, 가새의 항복강도, 지진하중의 크기, 반응수정계수 등 다양하게 설정하였다. 초과강도계수는 ATC-19에서 제시하고 있는 방법에 따라 정적 비탄성해석을 이용하여 산정하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 본 연구에서 구한 BRBF의 초과강도계수는 AISC/SEAOC에서 BRBF에 관하여 제시한 초과강도계수 값보다 전체적으로 크게 나타났다.

TLP (Tension Leg Platform) is the marine structure for the buckling evaluated to ensure the safety. ABAQUS program was conducted the buckling of TLP. A global model which simulated entire TLP structure has too many elements. This leads a large consumption of time and the hardware for analysis. Therefore, dividing the global model into the detailed models and the local models are significant. In this study, the buckling strength evaluation of the TLP structure members was proceed via non linear finite element analysis presented in DNV-RP-C208.

The domestic research of the steel plate concrete structures have been focused on the nuclear structures that usually reqire large strength. This research tried to establish some basic design information of SC structures using non-cement concrete. This paper studied on the compressive characteristics, effective length factors subjected to the concentrated compression loadings. The effective length factors were calculated by Euler Column Theory rather than using Plate Buckling Theory. The strains which are requird in calculating the effective length factor were measured to caculate the effective length factor at the yield of surface steel plate, the buckling of surface steel plate and the failure of concrete.

강합성 박스거더는 박스거더를 교량 주형으로 하는 강교량의 한 형식으로서, 휨 강성과 비틀림 강성이 뛰어난 강교량이다. 박스거더 설계는 강교량의 합리적 설계를 통하여, 안정성과 경제성을 추구하고 있다. 합리적 설계란 후판 및 고강도 강판을 사용하여 부재의 수를 줄이며, 설계 상세를 단순화한 교량 설계를 의미한다. 합리적 설계는 고성능강재의 사용, 부부재 최소화 등을 목표로 경제적이며 구조적으로 안전한 강합성 박스거더 설계를 한다. 이 중, 부부재의 최적설계를 위해서는 강합성 박스거더의 정확한 단면강도가 산정되어야 하지만, 도로교 설계기준(2012)에 제시되어 있는 박스거더 전단강도 산정식은 플레이트거더 전단강도과 동일한 식을 적용하도록 제시되어 있다. 이는 강합성 박스거더 복부판의 전단강도는 합성으로 인한 상부플랜지의 강성의 증가와 두 개의 복부판이 연결된 하부플랜지에 의한 복부판의 전단강도 증가를 고려하지 않고 있어 보수적인 전단강도 산정식을 제시하고 있다. 탄성전단좌굴강도에 대한 연구로는 Timoskenko와 Gere(1961)가 판의 전단좌굴강도 식을 유도하였으며, Galambos (1988)는 판의 경계조건에 따른 탄성전단좌굴계수 연구를 하였으며, Lee 등 (1996)은 플레이트 거더에서 상·하 플랜지의 영향을 고려한 탄성전단좌굴강도를 산정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 박스 거더의 연구는 합성전 박스 거더를 전단좌굴 실험을 하여, 플레이트 거더의 전단강도 보다 증가된 전단강도 실험연구가 있지만(Lee et al., 2003), 합성 후 강합성 박스거더의 복부판 전단강도에 대한 연구는 없었다.본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통하여 지지조건에 따른 강합성 박스거더 복부판의 탄성전단좌굴강도를 검토하였다. 도로교 설계 기준(2012) 및 AASHTO(2012)에 제시된 강합성 박스 거더 복부판의 전단강도산정식과 , Galambos (1988) 및 Lee 등 (1996)의 연구된 식들과 비교를 통하여 강합성 박스 거더 복부판의 전단강도를 비교-분석을 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 강합성 박스 거더 복부판은 플랜지의 지지강성의 변화에 따라 탄성전단좌굴계수가 변화함을 알 수 있었다.
