This study focused on the ultimate behaviors(ultimate strength and fracture mode ) of single shear bolted connection with austenitic sainless steel(STS201) and curling effect on the ultimate strength using finite element analysis based on test results. Main variables are end distance in the parallel direction to loading and edge distance in the perpendicular direction to loading. The validation of finite element analysis procedures was verified through the comparisons of ultimate strength, fracture mode and curling(out-of-plane deformation) occurrence between test results and numerical predictions. Curling was observed in both test and analysis results and it reduced the ultimate strength of single- shear bolted connections with relatively long end distances. Strength reduction ratios caused by curling were estimated quantitatively by maximum 19%, 32%, respectively for specimens with edge distance, 48 mm and 60 mm compared with strengths of uncurled connections with restrained out-of-plane deformation. Finally, analysis strengths were compared with current design strengths and it is found that design block shear equations did not provide the accurate predictions for bolted connections with strength reduction by curling.

The compressive strengths of concrete in old drainage structures were measured by core test and non-destructive testing, and the neutralization depths were estimated. There are a high correlation between the core and non-destructive testing compressive strength and the carbonation depth.

This study is an analytical research on the size effect of concrete flexural-compressive strength. The meso-scale finite element method was used to analyze various sizes of specimens.

This paper presents evaluation of diffusion coefficient, passed charge, and compressive strength considering 3 substitution ratios of fly ash(0%, 30%, and 50%) and 3 different W/B ratios(37%, 42%, and 47%). Also, the relationships among diffusion coefficient, passed charge, and compressive strength are investigated focusing on the results at 28 days and 180 days. With increasing replacement ratio of FA and decreasing W/B, the resistances to chlorides(diffusion coefficient and passed charge) are improved. At 28 days and 180 days, linear relationship are observed between strength and resistance to chloride on the whole.

Strength reduction ratio caused by curling was estimated quantitatively by maximum 19%, 32%, respectively for specimens with edge distance, 48mm and 60mm compared with strengths of uncurled connections with restrained out-of-plane deformation.

Recently, a Multi-Walled Carbon Nano Tube(MWCNT) is widely used to increase mechanical strength of the cementitious composite material. In this study, a dilution of MWCNT aqueous solution(from wt 2.0%, 1.5% to wt 1.0%) is a main parameter. A compressive strength of diluted CNT cement mortar is maximum 4.7% larger than that of a pure CNT cement mortar. The result indicates that the diluted MWCNT aqueous solution of the MWCNT cement mortar makes very little differences of the compressive strength.

Because significant difference between normal concrete and fiber reinforced ultra-high strength concrete under tension and compression, bond behavior also have significant difference. Based on the finite element analysis of bond test specimens, crack initiation and propagation process were investigated. Analysis results have been validated with test results and crack initiation stress was investigated.

Based on the study of chloride migration coefficient and hydration heat evolution, it was found that the use of ternary blended cement was effective to achieve desired service life and minimum crack index. On the other hand, a high level of compressive strength is required for marine concrete mix design.

GPS 모듈을 탑재한 모바일 단말기는 꾸준히 증가하고 있으나 코드의사거리를 측위에 사용하므로 반송파 위상을 사용하는 GPS 수신기에 비해 정확도가 낮다. 특히 다중경로신호는 반송파 위상 수신기에 비해 측위 결과에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치므로 다중경로신호를 검출 하여 측위에서 제거하는 방안이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 다중경로신호의 검출을 위해 위성의 신호세기를 이용하는 방법에 대해 초기 분석을 수행하였다. 개활지환경에서 GPS 위성의 고도각이 증가함에 따라 신호세기가 증가하는 것이 확인되었고, 주변에 장애물이 있는 지역에서는 시선방향에 차폐요소가 있는 위성의 신호세기가 감쇄되어 기록되는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 현상이 GPS 위성이 동일 궤도를 지날 때에도 반복되어 발생하는지 확인하기 위해 위성의 재현시간을 적용하여 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 GPS 위성 신호세기 변동 특성은 위성이 궤도상 의 동일 위치를 지날 때에도 거의 완벽하게 재현되었고, 이 현상이 일시적인 현상이 아니라 관측 환경에 의해 거의 완벽히 재현되는 결과임을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 신호세기를 이용한 다중경로신호의 검출이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study focuses on the effects of load height on the inelastic lateral buckling of doubly stepped I-beams. The effects of having compact and non-compact flanges are also covered by this study. Two sections are analyzed: one having compact flanges and web while the other section has a compact web and non-compact flanges. The loadings are limited to those having an inflection point of zero. Also, the three main locations for the loads analyzed would be at the top of the flange, at the shear and at the bottom flange. The nonlinear analysis is done using the finite element program, ABAQUS. Also, to take into consideration the effect of inelastic buckling, residual stresses and geometric imperfections are applied to the models made. The results of the analysis would then determine if the location of the loads has significant effects on the buckling strength of the stepped beams. Also, the results are compared to the results of previous studies involving the effects of load-height on prismatic beams. The final results are tabulated and conclusions and new design methods are provided.

Recently, the trend toward larger structures continues and accelerates demand for ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC) which satisfies structural performance. Most of researchers study on the method to increase the strength of ultra-high-strength concrete for the demand of construction market. For the application, however, ultra-high-strength concrete was needed lots of experimental study from material properties and mechanical properties to evaluate structural behavior. Currently, the design standard for concrete shrinkage and creep is limited to a range of 20 MPa to 70 MPa. It should be compensate the previous design standard to using for ultra-high-strength concrete. the ultra-high-strength concrete is appeared large autogenous shrinkage and crack may be occurred in less shrinkage once water to binder ratio is small and unit binder is large. The ultra-high-strength concrete is subjected to critical influence on micro-cracking owing to the small porosity. It should be considered the long-term behavior likely shrinkage and creep while the architectural buildings and long-span bridges are designed. In this study, therefore, the long-term behavior of ultra-high-strength concrete was investigated the parameters of water to cement ratio.

In this study, shear behaviors of various SFRC were predicted using Vector 2 program. Obtained analytical data was compared with preceded experimental data performed by other researchers. It was found that one increase in the span to depth ratio results in 54% decrease in the shear strength. Likewise, 1% increase in the reinforcement ratio causes a 19.9 % increase in the shear strength.
