Construction period is one of the most important factors which influence on cost and quality in nuclear power plant construction. As part of continued efforts for the competent reactor type, the construction improvements such as application of mechanical rebar splice, optimum lift height for concrete placement and enlargement of liner plate module in the reactor building wall are developed to minimize the construction period.

The objective of this study is to evaluate fatigue behavior of transverse connection of girder-type modular bridge. In order to evaluate fatigue behavior, a integral specimens and one segmental specimens were applied fatigue load ranging between 10% and 60% maximum static load with 200000 cycles. In order to test the serviceability, another segmental specimens was applied a fatigue load ranging between 10% and 100% service load with 2 million cycles. The results showed that the segmental specimens had enough safety and serviceability under fatigue load.

Generally deformation of wooden structures is larger than that of concrete and steel structures. We measured deformation of traditional Korean-style houses periodically and analyzed their deformation patterns. We expect that this study can help to reveal causes of long-term deformation of traditional Korean-style houses.

Recently, study on the application of sustainable materials to building and civil structure fields has been increased. Especially, the usage of aluminum alloys can improve durability of structures due to it’s high corrosion resistance. In this study, to investigate the ultimate behaviors such as ultimate strength and fracture mode of single shear bolted connections with aluminum alloys (7075-T6), experiments were conducted. Main variables are bolt arrangement and end distance parallel to the direction of load. As a result, the specimens failed by shear out fracture and block shear fracture and also the specimens with long end distance were accompanied by curling (out of plane deformation). The curling led to reduction of ultimate strength or rigidity. Futhermore, pattern of strain distribution was investigated according to curling occurrence.

In the construction of nuclear power plants using massive walls in Korea, the use of high-strength re-bars for shear design is necessary to enhance the constructability and economy. In the present study, low-rise walls(aspect ratio = 1.0) with 550MPa grade bars, were tested under cyclic loading to investigate shear capacity and deformation capacity of the walls. The results were compared with the performance of walls with grade 420 bars and predictions by current design code. The test results showed that ACI 349 underestimated the shear strength of the walls with 550 MPa grade bars. This result indicated that the ACI 349 predictions can be safely used for the earthquake design of the low-rise walls (aspect ratio =1.0) with 550 MPa grade bars.

Numerical scheme of predicting large deflection of RC column structures is discussed by developing the algorithm of equivalent lateral loading system based on theorem of virtual work.

To evaluate the traffic safety of PSC box bridge for high running speed up to 450km/h of KTX, a dynamic analysis of rotation spectrum on the centre of vehicle is needed concurrently with existing design specifications. All directions of rotation spectrum are considered to analyze the dynamic structural behaviors of PSC bridges as well as harmonic running movements of KTX due to three mass; a cargo body, front/rear bogies and four wheel axises connected with two suspensions. KTX power train is modeled by 38 degree-of -freedom ; 6 degree-of-freedom for body and bogies, and 5 degree-of-freedom for wheel axises. The rotation spectrum of KTX resulted in the analysis will be focused on the design specification of KTX running on the bridge, for increasing its speed as a new evaluation standards of traffic safety
