A typical low and medium-sized neighborhood living facility in reinforced concrete building secures a high floor and pursues an efficient module plan(long span). Accordingly, research on the development of new hybrid beams that can innovatively reduce labor costs such as on-site installation and assembly while securing strength and rigidity is ongoing. In order to verify the structural performance of the U-flanged truss composite beam with newly developed shape, Experiments with various variables are required. Based on the results, this study is to evaluate the strength of U-flanged truss hybrid beam through the flexural strength of the Korea Design Code and experimental values. It was evaluated that nominal flexural strength was 110% to 135% higher than the experimental value.

U-flanged truss beam is composed of u-shaped upper steel flange, lower steel plate of 8mm or more thickness, and connecting lattice bars. Upper flange and lower plate are connected by the diagonal lattice bars welded on the upper and lower sides. In this study, the details of delayed buckling of lattice members were developed through reinforcement of the end section, in order to improve structural capacity of U-flanged Truss Steel Beam. To verify the effects of these details, the simple beam experiment was conducted. The maximum capacity of all the specimens were determined by the buckling of the lattice. The vertical reinforced details of the ends with steel plates, rather than the details reinforced with steel bars, are confirmed to be a valid method for enhancing the structural capacity of the U-flanged Truss beam. In addition, U-flanged Truss Steel Beam with reinforced endings with steel plates can exhibit sufficient capacity of the lattice buckling by the formulae according to Korean Building Code (KBC, 2016) and Eurocode 3.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate the structural capacity of asphalt pavement in subsurface cavity sections using falling weight deflectometer (FWD) backcalculation method. METHODS: It is necessary to analyze the reduction of structural capacity in asphalt pavements due to the occurrence of subsurface cavities. The FWD testing was conducted on the cavity and intact asphalt pavement in the city of Seoul. The GAPAVE, backcalculation program for FWD deflections, was utilized to determine the layer moduli in asphalt pavements. The remaining life of asphalt pavements in cavity sections were predicted using the pavement performance model for fatigue cracking. The backcalculated layer moduli between cavity and intact sections were compared to determine the reduction of structural capacity due to subsurface cavity. The relationship between the reduction of layer modulus and cavity depth/length was analyzed to estimate the effect of cavity characteristics on the structural capacity degradation. RESULTS: According to the FWD backcalculation results, the modulus of asphalt layer, subbase, and subgrade in cavity sections are generally lower than those in intact sections. In the case of asphalt layers, the backcalculated modulus in cavity section was reduced by 50% compared to intact section. A study for the prediction of remaining life of cavity section shows that the occurrence of subsurface cavity induces the decrease of the pavement life significantly. It is found that there is no close relationship between the backcalculated modulus and cavity length. However, the reduction of asphalt layer modulus is highly correlated with the cavity depth and was found to increase with the decrease of cavity depth. CONCLUSIONS : This reduction of structural capacity due to the occurrence of cavities underneath asphalt pavements was determined using FWD backcalculation analysis. In the future, this approach will be utilized to establish the criteria of road collapse risk and predict the remaining life of cavity sections under numerous varied conditions.

국내 고층 아파트의 구조시스템은 크게 다수의 벽체가 분산적으로 배치되어 있는 내력벽 시스템과 중앙 코어벽 시스템으 로 구분할 수 있다. 각각 시스템에 따른 횡방향 거동을 분석하기 위해 본 연구는 국내 고층 아파트 중 대표적인 평면을 갖는 대상 건물을 선정하고, 비선형 정적해석을 수행하여 붕괴메커니즘을 살펴보았다. 비선형 정적해석을 통해 도출된 힘-변위 관계로부터 지진응답에 있어서 중요한 요소인 초과강도계수 및 연성도계수를 산정하여 반응수정계수를 평가하였다. 중앙 코어벽 시스템은 연성도는 작지만, 풍하중에 의해 지배되어 초과강도가 크게 산정돼 초과강도계수에 의해 반응수정계수가 산정되었고, 내력벽 시스템은 벽량이 많아 연성도가 크기 때문에 상당힌 큰 반응수정계수가 산정된다.

U-flanged truss beam is composed of u-shaped upper steel flange, lower steel plate of 8mm or more thickness, and connecting lattice bars. Upper flange and lower plate are connected by the diagonal lattice bars welded on the upper and lower sides. In this study the structural experiments on the U-flanged truss beams with various shapes of upper flange were performed, and the flexural and shear capacities of U-flanged truss beam in the construction stage were evaluated. The principal test parameters were the shape of upper flange and the alignment space of diagonal lattice bars. In all the test specimens, the peak loads were determined by the buckling of lattice bar regardless of the upper flange shape. The test results have shown that the buckling of lattice bar is very important design factor and there is no need to reinforce the basic u-shaped upper flange. However, the early lattice buckling occurred in the truss beam with upper steel bars because of the insufficient strength and stiffness of upper chord, and the reinforcement in the upper chord is necessary. The formulae of Eurocode 3 (2005) have presented more exact evaluations of lattice buckling load than those of KBC 2016.

Subsurface cavities in the asphalt pavement which can cause road depression and cave-in accidents influence on the safety of pedestrians and vehicle drivers in the urban area. The existence of subsurface cavity can increase the tensile strain at the bottom of asphalt layer which is an indicator of fatigue cracking potential, and leads to the weakening of the pavement structural capacity. In this study, the finite element (FE) analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the critical pavement responses and influencing factors, such as cavity depth and size, asphalt layer thickness, and asphalt concrete modulus. The surface deflections and tensile strains calculated from the ABAQUS FE program were compared to those from ILLIPAVE. It is found from this comparison that there are a good relationship between two analysis results. A three dimensional finite element model which is essential to simulate the hexahedral cavity were used to generate the synthetic database of critical pavement responses. To validate the developed model, the deflection data obtained from field Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) testing in four different locations were compared to FE deflections. It is found that the center deflections obtained from the FWD testing and FE analysis are similar to each other with an error values of 2.7, 4.4, 5.5, and 11.9 % respectively. The FE model developed in this study seems to be acceptable in simulating actual field cavity condition. On the basis of the data in the database, various analyses were conducted to estimate the effect of influencing factors on the critical pavement responses. It was found that the tensile strain at the bottom of asphalt layer is affected by all the factors but the most affected by the cavity depth and asphalt concrete modulus. Further studies are recommended to properly account for the effect of cavity’s geometry to pavement response.

ATC-40에 따라 역량스펙트럼법을 이용하여 4층 1경간 철골구조물의 성능점을 산정하였다. 요구스펙트럼을 이용하여 구조물의 성능한계를 초과하는지 여부를 분석하기 위해 구조부재의 소성변형각으로부터 정의되는 구조물의 성능한계에 대해 한계변위를 도출하였다. 또한 설계응답스펙트럼과 유사한 응답스펙트럼을 가지는 인공지진파 30개를 선정하여 스펙트럼 가속도에 따른 각 성능한계의 초과여부를 통해 fragility curve를 도출하였다. 관측된 초과확률을 이용하여 fragility curve를 도출하기 위해 maximum likelihood method를 사용하였다. 각 성능한계점에 대응하는 설계응답스펙트럼의 응답가속도값에서 성능한계점을 초과할 확률은 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 방식은 구조물의 성능점에 대해 지진파의 불확실성을 고려한 확률적 평가가 가능하고, 시간증분해석이 필요하지 않아 해석시간을 상당부분 단축시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

본 연구는 열유도상분리법(thermally induced phase separation, TIPS)을 사용하여, 수처리 분리막에 적용하기 위해, 응고조의 온도 및 열용량의 변화에 따른 분리막의 모폴로지 변화를 관찰하였다. 분리막을 제조하기 위한 소재로는 기계적 물성과 내화학성이 우수한 poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)와 고분자의 분산 을 도와주는 무기염 소재인 실리카를 사용하였다. 희석제는 dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP)를 사용하였다. 다양한 응고액의 열용량 변화 및 온도에 따른 구조 변화 관찰을 위하여 SEM 이미지를 관찰하였다. 열용량이 증가하거나 응고조의 온도가 높을수록 PVDF의 결정화 속도가 느려져 큰 기공을 나타내며 열용량이 감소하거나 응고조의 온도가 낮을수록 결정화 속도가 증가 하여 작은 기공이 형성되는 것을 확인 하였다.

In the case where a MR-damper is employed for vibration control, it is important to decide on how much control capacity should be assigned to it against structural capacities (strength and load, etc). This paper aims to present a MR-damper's control capacity suitable for the capacities of the structure which needs to be controlled. First, a two span bridge was built equipped with a MR-damper, which constitutes a two-span MR-damper control system. Then, inflicting an earthquake load on the system, a basic experiment was performed for vibration control, and a simulation was also carried out reflecting specific control conditions such as MR-damper and rubber bearing. The comparison of the results against each other proved their validity. Then, in order to calculate an optimal control capacity of the MR-damper, structural capacity was divided into eleven cases in total and simulated. For each case, an additional load of 30 KN was inflicted everytime, thereby increasingly strengthening structural capacity. As a result of the study, it was found that the control capacity of MR-damper of 30 KN was safely secured only with lumped mass of more than 150 KN(case 6). Therefore, it is concluded the MR-damper showed the best performance of control when it exerted its capacity at around 20% of structural capacity.

국내 LTPP(Long Term Pavement Performance) 연구에서 섬유보강 아스팔트 포장의 성능을 평가하기 위해, 국도 1호선 구간에 일반 아스팔트 포장과 섬유보강 아스팔트 포장을 각각 시공하였으며, 각각의 단면에 포장체 구조적 거동을 측정할 수 있는 계측센서를 매설하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내 LTPP구간에서 수행된 차량재하시험과 FWD시험의 결과를 바탕으로 섬유보강 아스팔트 포장의 구조적 성능을 평가하였다. 본 연구결과, 차량재하시험에서 섬유보강재를 사용할 경우 표층하단부의 변형률이 크게 저감되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 일반 아스팔트 포장보다 응력중립축이 상승하여 일반 아스팔트포장은 중간층 하단에서 압축변형이 발생하는 반면에, 섬유보강 아스팔트포장은 중간층 하단에서 인장변형이 발생하였다. 반면 기층 하단부에서의 인장변형률은 두 포장형식 모두 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. FWD 시험에서도 섬유보강재를 사용할 경우 약 24% 정도 표면 처짐 량이 저감되는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 섬유보강 아스팔트 포장이 소성변형에 대한 저항성을 증진시킬 수 있다고 판단되며, 향후에 포장상태조사를 통해 장기포장공용성에 대한 연구가 수반되어야 할 것이다.

최근 능력스펙트럼법, 직접변위기초설계법 등과 같은 성능에 기초한 내진 평가/설계법이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 이들 방법은 구조물의 비선형 주기거동에 의한 에너지 소산능력을 고려함에 있어 부정확한 경험식에 의존하는 한계를 보이고 있다. 한편, 최근 연구에서 휨지배 철근콘크리트 부재에 대하여 여러 설계변수의 영향을 고려하여 주기거동에 의한 에너지 소산능력을 정확히 평가할 수 있는 방법이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 에너지 소산능력을 고려한 내진설계법에 대한 기초적인 연구로서, 최근 연구에서 개발된 에너지 소산능력 산정법을 이용한 철근콘크리트 전단벽 구조의 내진설계법을 개발하여, 기존의 내진설계법과 비교하였다. 제안된 설계법에서는 단면의 크기 및 형상, 축력, 철근비, 배근형태, 연성도 등과 같은 다양한 설계변수에 따른 에너지 소산능력의 변화를 정확히 고려하여 설계할 수 있다.

최근 초장대 교량, 초고층 빌딩 등 토목 및 건축 분야에서 초고강도 콘크리트에 대한 수요가 날로 증가추세에 있다. 특히 초고층 건축물 건립에 따른 고강도 콘크리트 사용이 증가함에 따라 화재시 폭렬현상 등 내화성능 저하에 대한 대책마련의 일환으로 설계기준강도 50MPa 이상의 고강도 콘크리트에 대하여 내화성능관리기준을 법령으로 제정하여 시행하고 있다. 이에 따라 고강도 콘크리트의 내화성능 확보를 위한 연구가 다수 진행되었지만, 100 MPa 이상의 초고강도 콘크리트에 관한 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 초고강도 콘크리트의 경우 내부 조직이 고강도 콘크리트에 비해 훨씬 더 치밀하여 고강도 콘크리트에 적용되는 일반적인 내화 방안으로는 화재시 내부 수증기의 배출이 어렵다. 뿐만 아니라, 화재시 또는 화재후의 구조적 성능에도 일반적인 고강도 콘크리트와는 다른 양상을 나타낼 수 있어 이에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화재 상황 하에서 초고강도 콘크리트 기둥이 소정의 하중을 지지할 수 있는 구조 성능의 확보 방안을 모색하고자 하였다.

The amount of newly-built bridges has been gradually reduced so that the importance of maintenance for existing bridges which has a long services period is issued. Therefore, the maintenance budget for existing bridges is going to be consistently increased. It is needed that a reasonable decision-making methodology for existing bridge maintenance is required to effectively use the limited maintenance budget. In this study, a method of the structural vulnerability evaluation is newly suggested as the one of the evaluation stage for developing a reasonable decision-making methodology.

The objective of this study is about hollow core slab with GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced plastics) Reinforcing bar instead of using deformed bar. This experiment is planed because using GFRP Reinforcing bar instead of tension bar in existing RC hollow core slab will improve not only on the constructability but also on the durability by solving the corrosion of slab. As the result of the experimental study, GFRP Reinforcing bar and additional deformed bar appear to be superior compared to RC hollow core slab in structural ability.
