Wet pavement friction decreases due to the increase in water film thickness (WFT), leading to a significant increase in vehicle crashes occurrences. The British Pendulum Test described in ASTM E303-93 is one of the methods used to measure pavement friction in wet conditions for the input of geometric design and pavement management systems. The British Pendulum Number (BPN) in wet conditions varies with WFT. Following ASTM E303-93 standard procedures, water film thickness was simulated by spraying water on the pavement surface. However, the measurement of BPN did not include specific information about the thickness of the water film present during testing. To address these issues, WFTs and BPNs were measured using artificial rainfall generated by a rainfall simulator across various intensities, drainage lengths, pavement slopes, and pavement surfaces. This study aims to investigate the influence of water film thickness on BPN for wet pavement friction and provide the WFT corresponding to each BPN measurement for different surface types. BPNs of three test slabs, including a smooth surface and tined surfaces with 16 mm and 25 mm spacing, were measured under wet conditions by spraying water, and by creating water film thicknesses using a rainfall simulator. This study demonstrates that the BPNs of non-tined surfaces and longitudinally and transversely tined surfaces with 25mm spacing exhibit a significant decrease with increasing water film thickness, while those with 16mm spacing show a slight decrease. These findings can be attributed to the lower friction observed in both non-tined and longitudinally tined pavements, in contrast to surfaces with transverse tinning.

This study develops a new hybrid passive energy dissipation device for seismic rehabilitation of an existing structure. The device is composed of a friction damper combined with a steel plate with vertical slits as a hysteretic damper. Analytical model is developed for the device, and the capacity of the hybrid device to satisfy a given target performance is determined based on the ASCE/SEI 7-10 process. The effect of the device is verified by nonlinear dynamic analyses using seven earthquake records. The analysis results show that the dissipated inelastic energy is concentrated on the hybrid damper and the maximum interstory drift of the SMRF with damping system satisfies the requirement of the current code.

The friction damper can be used for improving the seismic resistance of existing buildings. The damper is often installed in bracing members. The energy dissipation capacity of the damping systems depends on the type of the structure, the configuration of the bracing members, and the property of dampers. In Korea, there are numerous low- to mid-rise reinforced concrete moment frames that were constructed considering only gravity loads. Those frames may be vulnerable for future earthquakes. To resolve the problem, this study developed a toggle bracing system with a high density friction damper. To investigate the improvement of reinforced concrete frames after retrofit using the developed damped system, experimental tests were conducted on frame specimens with and without the damped system. The results showed that the maximum strength, initial stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of the framed with the damped system were much larger than those of the frame without the damped system.

The interest for the stability of the structures against earthquake, which is increasing recently, is rapidly increasing. But, currently, school buildings among the reinforced concrete(RC) structures in Korea are not designed with seismic design or there are many cases of being designed with the old seismic design code, so it is estimated to have not only lives but also a great deal of economic damage are likely to occur when an earthquake occurs. In this study, proposed horizontal friction system(HFS) with rotary friction damper installed as a method to reinforce strength and hardness and to increase ductility for the low story structure of 5 stories or lower such as school buildings. For the seismic retrofitting design with horizontal friction system in which rotary friction damper is installed, Peak displacement response ratio according to elastic and inelastic behavior and ductility demand is calculated to decide elastic stiffness and strength of the HFS, design model and procedure to decide the capacity of HFS thereof is decided, and the feasibility and performance are reviewed through pushover analysis.

콘크리트 슬래브는 온도 및 수분의 영향을 받아 체적이 변화된다. 이때 슬래브와 보조기층 간의 마찰저항이 슬래브 체적변화를 구속하여 인장응력이 발생되고 경우에 따라 균열이 유발되기도 한다. 따라서 연구자들은 Push-off 실험을 실시하여 슬래브와 보조기층간의 마찰특성을 파악하려고 노력해 왔다. 최근에는 마찰특성에 의한 콘크리트 포장의 거동을 유한요소법으로 해석하려는 연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 국내 콘크리트 포장에 주로 사용되는 린콘크리트, 쇄석, 아스팔트 보조기층에 대하여 실시된 마찰실험 결과를 바탕으로 슬래브와 보조기층 간 마찰특성을 조사하였다. 비선형의 마찰저항과 변위의 관계를 이중선형화하는 에너지 방법이 제시되었다. 마찰실험을 3차원 유한요소 프로그램 ABAQUS로 모형화하였으며 해석결과를 실험결과와 비교하여 모형을 검증하였다. 비선형과 이중선형 마찰저항-변위 관계를 각각 입력값으로 사용하여 얻은 해석결과를 비교하여 에너지 방법으로 개발된 이중선형 모형의 타당성을 검증하였다. 일반적인 국내 콘크리트 포장을 ABAQUS와 EverFE로 모형화하고 해석결과를 비교하여 이중선형 모형의 적용성을 평가하였다.

본 연구에서는 전단벽-모멘트골조 시스템으로서 전단벽이 주로 횡력을 부담하는 철근콘크리트 건물을 대상으로 다양한 설치형식과 마찰력의 총량 및 분포를 갖는 마찰형 감쇠기의 제진보강 효과를 수치해석을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 감쇠기의 설치형식으로서 전단벽에 인접한 대각가새형, 벽체가 없는 골조를 보강하는 대각가새형 및 벽체 단부를 보강하는 수직경계요소형을 고려하였다. 하중기준 강화로 설계용보다 크게 증가한 지진하중에 대해 건물의 재료비선형성을 고려한 비선형시간이력해석을 수행하여 에너지소산, 횡하중 및 부재손상도 측면에서 마찰형 감쇠기의 제진성능을 비교 분석하였다. 기준마찰력의 30% 수준의 총마찰력을 갖는 벽체보강 대각가새형 설치형식이 전반적으로 가장 우수한 제진성능을 보이며,이 경우에 마찰력 배분방식은 중요하지 않았다. 또한 일부층에 집중설치함으로써 전층설치에 약간 못미치는 제진성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents a mathematical model derived from the upper-bound theorem of concrete plasticity to rationally evaluate the shear friction strength of concrete interfaces with a construction joint. The upper limit of the shear friction strength was formulated from the limit state of concrete crushing failure on the strut-and-tie action along the construction joints to avoid overestimating the shear transfer capacity of a transverse reinforcement with a high clamping force. The present model approach proposed that the cohesion and coefficient of friction of concrete can be set to be 0.27(fck)0.65 and 0.95, respectively, for rough construction joints and 0.11(fck)0.65 and 0.64, respectively, for smooth ones, where fck is the compressive strength of concrete. From the comparisons with 155 data compiled from the available literature, the proposed model gave lower values of standard deviation and coefficient of variation of the ratios between predictions and experiments than AASHTO and fib 2010 equations, indicating that the proposed model has consistent trends with test results, unlike the significant underestimation results of such code equations in evaluating the shear friction strength.

This study was examined to the shear friction applied compressive stress at construction joint and monolithic joint with or without transverse reinforcement. The analysis of test results were compared with ACI 318 code. The reduction ratio of the shear friction strength regardless of construction joint were similar with ACI 318 code. The relative slip amount at the peak of shear stress on the all of the specimens was increased about 33% by the transverse reinforcement.
