To ensure durability and light weight of bridges, high-strength concrete is required for long-span deck slabs. Such a technology eventually extends the life of bridges and improves the economic efficiency. The results of this study examines the minimum thickness of long-span deck slabs built with high strength concrete. The minimum thickness is examined based on the limit states indicated in the Korean Highway Bridge Design Code(limit state design).

In this study, based on the Building Register, status and existing structural criteria of small-scale steel-frame building is reviewed. As a result, the accumulated small-scale buildings account for about 85% of cumulative entire building. Furthermore, since 2000, the small-scale steel-frame buildings account for about 55% of the small-scale buildings. In other words, the proportion of small-scale steel-frame buildings has been increased. However, the structural criteria is not only insufficient but also structure for some small-scale steel-frame buildings does not have a reference.

This study investigates the effectiveness of a wall fiber element in predicting the flexural nonlinear response of reinforced concrete shear walls. Model results are compared with experimental results for reinforced concrete shear walls with barbell-shaped cross sections. The analytical model is calibrated and the test measurements are processed to allow for a direct comparison of the predicted and measured lateral force and displacement responses. Response results are compared at top displacements on the walls. Results obtained in the analytical model for barbell-shaped wall cross sections compared favorably with experimentally responses for flexural capacity, stiffness, and deformability.

This study attempted to assess performances of adopted MR-damper to control the complex behavior caused by the interaction of independent continuous structures. For this, MR-damper (30kN) was designed and fabricated, and the MR-damper model was investigated using the Nonlinear Bingham Plastic Damper (NBPD). To assess experimental performances, a control test on the model structure was performed while El-centro 150% of seismic load was being applied. Then, MR-damper was placed between two independent structures to have it control independent displacement and complex behavior between the two structures. This study found that MR-damper is effective in controlling complex behavior of structures.

The ex-vessel steam explosion may occur when, during a severe reactor accident, the molten core pours into the water in the reactor cavity. These dynamic loads on the cavity wall could potentially lead to the significant failure of the cavity wall. But the phenomenon like this steam explosion includes big uncertainty in estimating the impulsive pressure loading of RCB. In this study, risk based integrity assessment method of the NPP structure subjected to steam explosion load was suggested to capture these uncertainties involved during the structural integrity assessment of the Nuclear power plant.

In this study, an analysis model with circular arc on the plane is chosen as a representative section of the steel box girder. The steel box girder has thin-walled cross section. When working load is increased in the outer sector, the behavior of the negative reaction and overturning moment are shown up. Curved bridge has a central angle from about 4 to 26 degree. Negative reaction and overturning moment are analyzed according to increase of a central angle from 4 to 26 degree as well as shape factor.

Linear and nonlinear models are available to simulate the effect of mine blasting. And the results are changed by selection of each model. Plaxis 8.0, FLAC 4.0 are used in this study for simulating blasting pressure. These programs offer linear model and nonlinear model. Linear model can properly simulate loss of impact wave in plastic failure region based on comparison of site vibration measurement and numerical analysis iteratively.

Linear and nonlinear models are available to simulate the effect of mine blasting and the results change by each model. Linear model can properly simulate loss of impact wave in plastic failure region based on comparison of site vibration measurement and numerical analysis iteratively. But, loss of impact wave in plastic failure region should be calibrated into input parameter of blasting pressure. A method to convert loss of impact wave into design parameter is suggested in this study.

The shape of the stud did not affect the shear behavior of SC wall but, the spacing influenced to its composite action.

The high-strength concrete slab confined by steel members, the possibility of thermal crack due to heat of hydration is high. These thermal cracks, it reduces the serviceability, safety and service life valuation of the structure, it is necessary to review.

Submerged floating tunnel is an innovative tunnel infrastructure passing through the deep sea independent of wave and wind so that high speed vehicle or train can run. It doesn't depend on water depth and is cost effective due to modular construction on land. The construction period can be reduced drastically.

This paper presents an experimental research aimed at developing a new rubber-based seismic isolator called ‘'Ball Rubber Bearing (BRB). The BRB is composed of a conventional steel-reinforced multi-layered rubber bearing with its central hole filled with small diameter steel balls that are used to provide energy dissipation capacity through friction. in this study, the shear test was performed to compare the NRB & LRB & BRB. bearing shear tests were carried out as per ISO22762 for seismic isolation design standard. A test results showed that EDC & effective stiffness of the BRB is lower than LRB.
