두께가 얇은 강관을 사용한 CFT기둥은 강관의 국부좌굴에 대한 구속효과로 내력상승을 기대할 수 있으므로 폭두께비가 작은 강관 CFT기둥에 비해 경제성을 확보할 수 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 각형 CFT기둥에 대한 기존 설계식의 타당성을 입증하고, 내력 증대에 따른 강관 폭두께비의 사용성 한계를 확인하고자 하였다. 실험의 주요변수로는 강관의 폭두께비, 콘크리트 각 주의 높이 및 콘크리트 충전 유무로 하였다. 실험결과, 고강도 콘크리트를 충전한 박판의 각형강관기둥에서 충전콘크리트의 압축내력에 대한 강관의 구속효과가 크게 나타났으며, 비선형 해석에 따르면, 실험결과에 의한 내력은 전체 CFT단주 실험체에서 해석값보다 다소 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

In past years, numerous problems have vexed engineers with regard to buckling, corrosion, bending, and overloading in damaged steel structures. This article sets out to investigate the possible effects of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and steel plates for retrofitting deficient steel square hollow section (SHS) columns. The effects of axial loading, stiffness, axial displacement, the position and shape of deficient region on the length of steel SHS columns, and slenderness ratio are examined through a detailed parametric study. A total of 14 specimens was tested for failure under axial compression in a laboratory and simulated using finite element (FE) analysis based on a numerical approach. The results indicate that the application of CFRP sheets and steel plates also caused a reduction in stress in the damaged region and prevented or retarded local deformation around the deficiency. The findings showed that a deficiency leads to reduced load-carrying capacity of steel SHS columns and the retrofitting method is responsible for the increase in the load-bearing capacity of the steel columns. Finally, this research showed that the CFRP performed better than steel plates in compensating the axial force caused by the cross-section reduction due to the problems associated with the use of steel plates, such as in welding, increased weight, thermal stress around the welding location, and the possibility of creating another deficiency by welding.

쌍동선의 경우 선미의 형상적인 특이성으로 인하여, 두 개의 선체를 연결하는 부위는 선박의 항해 시 발생되는 피칭운동에 의한 손상이 자주 발생하고 있으며, 이로 인하여 주변부에 대한 구조보강 설계가 필요하다. 이러한 국부 보강에 대한 구조설계 지침이 명확하지 않기 때문에, 엔지니어는 판 두께, 보강재 변경 및 프레임 간격을 줄이는 방법으로 대응을 하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 부위는 선박의 길이방향으로 약 85 % 이상 위치하고 있기 때문에, 최소 구조부재를 국부 보강하여 중량 증가를 최소화하고, 이에 따른 건조비 증가 및 건현확보의 문제를 해결해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 KR(한국선급)의 고속경구조선 규칙을 바탕으로, 쌍동형 카페리 구조설계 절차를 분석하고 추가가 필요한 항목을 발굴하여 쌍동형 구조설계 프로그램을 개발하였다. 좌굴강도 평가 절차서 및 프로그램에 대한 신뢰성을 확보하기 위하여, 타 선급의 기준과 비교 검토를 수행하여 6 %내 차이가 발생함을 확인하였다.

스파이럴 강관은 기존 UOE 강관에 비해 경제적이며 연속적으로 강관 제작이 가능해 수송관뿐만 아니라 구조부재로 사용이 점차 확장되고 있다. 최근 제작기술의 발달로 스파이럴 강관의 고강도 및 대형화가 가능하게 됨에 따라 대규모 장거리 수송용 파이프라인에도 적용이 시도되고 있고, 이로 인해 스파이럴 강관의 구조적 건전성과 경제성 확보를 위한 변형률 기반 설계가 요구된다. 그러나 이를 뒷받침하기 위한 스파이럴 강관의 설계 기준 전반이 제시되지 않은 실정이고, 구조적 거동에 대한 명확한 규명이 이뤄지지 못하고 있다. 본 논문은 스파이럴 파이프의 조관 과정에서 발생되는 잔류응력이 스파이럴 파이프의 휨 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 조관으로 인한 잔류응력 평가를 위해 조관 성형각, 두께, 강도를 달리하여 스파이럴 파이프의 유한요소해석을 수행하고, 해석결과를 파이프 휨 해석에 대한 초기 조건으로 반영하여 수치해석적으로 휨 거동 변화를 조사하였다.

Wind-resistant design of existing cooling tower structures overlooks the impacts of rainfall. However, rainstorm will influence aerodynamic force on the tower surface directly. Under this circumstance, the structural response of the super-large cooling tower (SLCT) will become more complicated, and then the stability and safety of SLCT will receive significant impact. In this paper, surrounding wind fields of the world highest (210 m) cooling tower in Northwest China underthree typical wind velocities were simulated based on the wind-rain two-way coupling algorithm. Next, wind-rain coupling synchronous iteration calculations were conducted under 9 different wind speed-rainfall intensity combinations by adding the discrete phase model (DPM). On this basis, the influencing laws of different wind speed-rainfall intensity combinations on wind-driving rain, adhesive force of rain drops and rain pressure coefficients were discussed. The acting mechanisms of speed line, turbulence energy strength as well as running speed and trajectory of rain drops on structural surface in the wind-rain coupling field were disclosed. Moreover, the fitting formula of wind-rain coupling equivalent pressure coefficient of the cooling tower was proposed. A systematic contrast analysis on its 3D distribution pattern was carried out. Finally, coupling model of SLCT under different working conditions was constructed by combining the finite element method. Structural response, buckling stability and local stability of SLCT under different wind velocities and wind speed-rainfall intensity combinations were compared and analyzed. Major research conclusions can provide references to determine loads of similar SLCT accurately under extremely complicated working conditions.

Steel-concrete composite walls have been proposed and developed for applications in various types of structures. The double-skin profiled composite walls, as a natural development of composite flooring, provide structural and architectural merits. However, adequate intermediate fasteners between profiled steel plates and concrete core are required to fully mobilize the composite action and to improve the structural behavior of the wall. In this research, two new types of fasteners (i.e., threaded rods and vertical plates) were proposed and three specimens with different fastener types or fastener arrangements were tested under axial compression. The experimental results were evaluated in terms of failure modes, axial load versus axial displacement response, strength index, ductility index, and load-strain relationship. It was found that specimen with symmetrically arranged thread rods sustained more stable axial strain than that with staggered arranged threaded rods. Meanwhile, vertical plates are more suitable for practical use since they provide stronger confinement to profiled steel plate and effectively prevent the steel plate from early local buckling, which eventually enhance the composite action and increase the axial compressive capacity of the wall. The calculation methods were then proposed and good agreement was observed between the test results and the predicted results.

Profiled composite slab has been widely used in civil engineering due to its structural merits. The extension of this concept to the bearing wall forms the profiled composite wall, which consists of two external profiled steel plates and infill concrete. This paper investigates the structural behavior of this type of wall under axial compression. A series of compression tests on profiled composite walls consisting of varied types of profiled steel plate and edge confinement have been carried out. The test results are evaluated in terms of failure modes, load-axial displacement curves, strength index, ductility ratio, and load-strain response. It is found that the type of profiled steel plate has influence on the axial capacity and strength index, while edge confinement affects the failure mode and ductility. The test data are compared with the predictions by modern codes such as AISC 360, BS EN 1994-1-1, and CECS 159. It shows that BS EN 1994-1-1 and CECS 159 significantly overestimate the actual compressive capacity of profiled composite walls, while AISC 360 offers reasonable predictions. A method is then proposed, which takes into account the local buckling of profiled steel plates and the reduction in the concrete resistance due to profiling. The predictions show good correlation with the test results.

Deep beam has high section modules compared with shallow beam of the same weight. However, deep beam has low rotational capacity and high possibility of brittle failure so it is not possible to apply deep beams with a long span to intermediate moment frames, which should exhibit a ductility of 0.02rad of a story drift angle of steel moment frames. Accordingly, KBC and AISC limit the beam depth for intermediate and special moment frame to 750mm and 920mm respectively. The purpose of this paper is to improve the seismic performance of intermediate moment frame with 1200mm depth beam. In order to enhance vulnerability of plastic deformation capacity of deeper beam, Multi-Reduced Taper Beam(MRTB) shape that thickness of beam flange is reinforced and at the same time some part of the beam flange width is weakened are proposed. Based on concept of multiple plastic hinge, MRTB is intended to satisfy the rotation requirement for intermediate moment frame by dividing total story drift into each hinge and to prevent the collapse of the main members by inducing local buckling and fracture at the plastic hinge location far away from connection. The seismic performance of MRTB is evaluated by cyclic load test with conventional connections type WUF-W, RBS and Haunch. Some of the proposed MRTB connection satisfies connection requirements for intermediate moment frame and shows improved the seismic performance compared to conventional connections.

Significant progress in the oil and gas industry advances the application of pipeline into an intelligent era, which poses rigorous requirements on pipeline safety, reliability, and maintainability, especially when crossing seismic zones. In general, strike-slip faults are prone to induce large deformation leading to local buckling and global rupture eventually. To evaluate the performance and safety of pipelines in this situation, numerical simulations are proved to be a relatively accurate and reliable technique based on the built-in physical models and advanced grid technology. However, the computational cost is prohibitive, so one has to wait for a long time to attain a calculation result for complex large-scale pipelines. In this manuscript, an efficient and accurate surrogate model based on machine learning is proposed for strain demand prediction of buried X80 pipelines subjected to strike-slip faults. Specifically, the support vector regression model serves as a surrogate model to learn the high-dimensional nonlinear relationship which maps multiple input variables, including pipe geometries, internal pressures, and strike-slip displacements, to output variables (namely tensile strains and compressive strains). The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method are validated by numerical studies considering different effects caused by structural sizes, internal pressure, and strike-slip movements.

The rapid proliferation of oil/gas drilling and wind turbine installations with jack-up rig-formed structures increases structural safety requirements, due to the greater risks of operational collisions during use of these structures. Therefore, current industrial practices and regulations have tended to increase the required accidental collision design loads (impact energies) for jack-up rigs. However, the existing simplified design approach tends to be limited to the design and prediction of local members due to the difficulty in applying the increased uniform impact energy to a brace member without regard for the member's position. It is therefore necessary to define accidental load estimation in terms of a reasonable collision scenario and its application to the structural response analysis. We found by a collision probabilistic approach that the kinetic energy ranged from a minimum of 9 MJ to a maximum 1049 MJ. Only 6% of these values are less than the 35 MJ recommendation of DNV-GL (2013). This study assumed and applied a representative design load of 196.2 MN for an impact load of 20,000 tons. Based on this design load, the detailed design of a leg structure was numerically verified via an FE analysis comprising three categories: linear analysis, buckling analysis and progressive collapse analysis. Based on the numerical results from this analysis, it was possible to predict the collapse mode and position of each member in relation to the collision load. This study provided a collision strength assessment between attendant vessels and a jack-up rig based on probabilistic collision scenarios and nonlinear structural analysis. The numerical results of this study also afforded reasonable evaluation criteria and specific evaluation procedures.
