The 11th（2017） Design Conference
IM&VR i-Construction Session"Numerical analysis of collapse process for RC structuresand environmental impact -Collapse Process,Gravelization, and High-Temperature History of Fire-"“Data assimilation of performance veriﬁcation of new
structures and inspection data of existing structures”

Prof. Koichi Maekawa, College of Urban Sciences, Yokohama
National University

Prof. Koichi Maekawa, Concrete Lab., Department of Civil
Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo

Graveling concrete is a factor that greatly reduces its durability, but if it
has a high binding force, graveling improves its strength, and for
concrete that has been subjected to high temperature history, its residual
performance increases. He explained that it is "Engineering" that
controls this well, and the importance of 3D thinking and 3D analysis.
even though there are things not visible in the world of statistics or thedigital world respectively, overlapping the two allows what can be seen to
be deepened.

As inspection data of existing structures increased rapidly, theireffective use was required. Regarding some structural problems thatmade nonlinear analysis unable to treat, he talked about his attempt ofdata simulation for uniting inspection information and numericalanalysis (data assimilation). To solve constrains that had emerged
through an actual project, he introduced an approach using AI. Basedon their results, he also explained possibility of its utilization inmaintenance by mutual complement of advantages and disadvantagesof each of inspection data and nonlinear analysis.

Seismic, Geotechnical and Water Works Sessions

The 8th（2015） Design Conference
Design and Analysis Session“Transition of bridge technology - Aiming for astrong and long-lasting bridge -”“Repair example for long-lasting structure”

First, he explained the deﬁnition of external cable structure (externalprestressing) and the difference from internal cables, and theircharacter istics based on the results of experiments and analyses etc.
Furthermore, he expounded the requirements for providing the bridges
newly constructed or renewed in the future with high urability from thefollowing points of view: 1) Structural rationality, 2) Multilayer
protection, and 3) Easy inspection. Finally, he mentioned the process of
modiﬁcation of new Speciﬁca tions for Highway Bridges, as well as therelated points in the current modiﬁcation.

Focusing on an upcoming problem about the delamination of concrete
fragments, he explained its cause and measures including damages
caused by alkali-aggregate reaction, salt damage, and frost damage andvarious repair methods. In his opinion, the data cooperation fromdesign to maintenance is important for long-last ing structure, since
design and construction standards should be changed early by using
maintenance trouble data.

Current status and future outlook for civilengineering structures as seen from damage causedby the Great East Japan Earthquake"The Latest and State-of-the-art Technologies of Civil Engineering andthe Future Outlook: design criteria, a large-scale model experiment
for structural elements, and a veriﬁcation example using E-Defense"

He analyzed the differences in ground motion and tsunami height anddamage from the Great East Japan Earthquake compared to pastearthquakes, including the Southern Hyogo Prefecture Earthquake. He
explained that damage to bridges by
earthquake is more severe before theapplication of the Earthquake Capacity
Act, especially when seismic
reinforcement is insufﬁcient, and that
the Speciﬁcations for Highway Bridges
and seismic standards published in
1990, which are based on thehorizontal load bearing capacity method contribute to reducing bridge
damage. There is a possibility that a major earthquake could occur anddamage elevated bridges in urban areas. Seismic standards need to bereviewed on an ongoing basis.

First, he talked about the reason why the allowable values (design
criteria) for earthquake-resistant design to secure quake-proof
performance, then realization of performance design and criteria
setting. Next, he explained
about the full-scale modelexperience for veriﬁcation ofdesign criteria throughexperiments using

he mentioned expectation

Forum8 has produced analytical program WCOMD, developed by the Concrete Materials & Structures Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, for 2D non-linear dynamic
analysis/static analysis of reinforced concrete. WCOMD uses high-precision constitutive properties based on the results achieved through numerous experiments andtheoretical veriﬁcations on concrete. These properties are highly regarded internationally, as well as in Japan, and provide accurate 2D non-linear dynamic/static analysis

ProgramAnalysis to check the soundness of a 60-year-old
simple steel truss deck bridge
This bridge is a 4-span continuous steel plate girder overpass constructed in theearly Showa period. The central three piers are of RC structures in the lower part,and the upper part is a composite structure with steel truss legs consisting ofseven lattice columns connected with trusses to form a single plate. It has passed
over 80 years since its construction, and a dynamic nonlinear analysis was
conducted at the level 2 earthquake to verify the seismic performance of thebridge under the latest seismic loading. The superstructure and steel truss legs
were modeled as elastic beam elements, and the substructure as a nonlinear
beam element (M-φ element), with plastic hinge springs at the column bases. As
a result of the veriﬁcation, the shear capacity of the RC members and the bending
and compressive stress of the steel truss legs exceeded the allowable values,
which were conﬁrmed as basic data for future reinforcement studies.
