Multi-walled carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy composites were fabricated using shear mixing and sonication. The mechanical, viscoelastic, thermal, and electrical properties of the fabricated specimens were measured and evaluated. From the images and the results of the measurements of tensile strengths, the specimens having 0.6 wt% nanotube content showed better dispersion and higher strength than those of the other specimens. The Young's moduli of the specimens increased as the nanotube filler content was increased in the matrix. As the concentrations of nanotubes filler were increased in the composite specimens, their storage and loss moduli also tended to increase. The specimen having a nanotube filler content of 0.6 wt% showed higher thermal conductivity than that of the other specimens. On the other hand, in the measurement of thermal expansion, specimens having 0.4 and 0.6 wt% filler contents showed a lower value than that of the other specimens. The electrical conductivities also increased with increasing content of nanotube filler. Based on the measured and evaluated properties of the composites, it is believed that the simple and efficient fabrication process used in this study was sufficient to obtain improved properties in the specimens.

An algebraic model for turbulent heat fluxes which is originally suggested by Suga & Abe is modified on the basis of the elliptic blending equation. In order to satisfy the heat transfer characteristics of near-wall region and the flow center region far away from the wall, the model coefficients of the algebraic heat flux model are modified by using the solution of the elliptic blending equation. The predictions of turbulent heat transfer in a plane channel flow have been carried out with constant wall heat flux and constant wall temperature difference boundary conditions respectively. Also, the predictions are performed at various Prandtl numbers to test the applicability of the model. The prediction results show that the distributions of the turbulent heat fluxes and mean temperature are well captured by the modified algebraic heat flux model

Torque control method and turn of nut method are specified as clamping method of high strength bolts in the steel construction specifications. Quality control of torque coefficient is essential activity because torque control method, which is presently adopted as clamping method in domestic construction sites, is affected by variation of torque coefficient. The clamping of torque shear bolt is based on KS B 2819. It was misunderstood that the tension force of the TS bolt was induced generally at the break of pin-tail specified. However, the clamping forces on slip critical connections do not often meet the intended tension, as it considerably varies due to torque coefficient dependent on the environmental factors and temperature variables despite the break of the pin tail.This study was focused to evaluate the effect of environmental factors and errors of installing bolts during tightening high strength bolts. The environmental parameters were composed of 'wet' condition, 'rust' condition, 'only exposure to air' condition. And the manufacture of trial product was planned to identify the induced force into the bolts. The algorithm for a trial product was composed of the relation between electricity energy taken from torque shear wrench and tension force from hydraulic tension meter.

This research presents the nonlinear analysis model for reinforced concrete shear wall systems with special boundary elements as proposed by the Korean Building Code (KBC, 2009). In order to verify the analysis model, analytical results were compared with the experimental results obtained from previous studies. Established analytical model was used to perform nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. Analytical results showed that the semi-special shear wall improved significantly the performance in terms of ductility and energy dissipation as expected based on previous test results. Furthermore, nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis was performed using 20 ground motions. Based on computer analytical results, the ordinary shear wall, special shear wall and newly proposed semi-special shear wall systems were evaluated based on the methods in FEMA P965. The results based on the probabilistic approaches accounting for inherent uncertainties showed that the semi-special shear wall systems provide a high capacity/demand (ACMR) ratio owing to their details, which provide enough capacity to sustain large inelastic deformations.

The purpose of this study is intended to determine the validity of shear reinforcement by evaluating flexural performance in the hollow slab. The hollow slab is relatively light and second moment of inertia is large. Due to these characteristics, it can be used to slab system efficiently. Therefore the prediction of the structural behaviors is very important because of decrease of shear and flexural strength which is caused by hollow section of slab interior. In this study, the flexural test were performed to analyze the flexural capacity of the hollow slab w/ or w/o shear reinforcement. A total of six full scale specimens were tested. These specimens have three cases of reinforcing bar ratio, 0.009, 0.018 and 0.024. To verify the flexural behavior such as ultimate load, load-deflection and crack pattern, the flexural experiment were tested by using loading frame. Experimental results have shown that the flexural behavior are depend on the reinforcing bar ratio. Also the hollow slab with shear reinforcement have shown flexural behavior. Therefore, it is appropriate that the hollow slab is reinforced by shear reinforcement to improve the flexural performance of the hollow slab.

In this study, tapered double cantilever beam bonded with aluminum foam composite is modelled and analyzed by finite element analysis. The bonding strength on Mode II of this structure is evaluated and investigated. In cases of inclined angles of 6°, 8° and 10°, maximum equivalent stresses occur 1.29, 1.59 and 2.6 MPa respectively at the range of forced displacement of 5 to 6 mm. And maximum reaction forces become 186, 208 and 235 N individually at this range of displacement in these cases. By the analysis result on 3 kinds of models, the maximum reaction load increases as angle of inclination of model increases. And the elapsed time to approach the maximum load and the time to disappear away become shorter. This study result can be applied into the real composite structure with aluminum foam in case that the surface bonded with adhesive is inclined. This fracture behavior can also be investigated and the impact property can be examined

The curved bridges shows very complicate behaviors compare to straight girders due to its initial curvature. Usually, the shear strength is investigated due to the aspect ratio(transverse stiffeners spacing/height of girder) and many researches have been conducted for the web shear strength for I-shaped curved girders with high aspect ratios(larger than 3). In this study, numerical studies are carried out and the results are compared with the current design practices. By the analyses, the maximum aspect ratio of a transversely stiffened web panel are suggested to revisits the validity of a limited imposed by Basler.

An experimental study was carried out to evaluate the punching shear performance of H-steel column + RC slab system for vertical load. Three specimens were constructed for interior column-slab system. All specimens were the same configuration and material properties except for columns such as RC column+flat plate slab and H-Steel column+flat plate slab. From the test results structural characteristics (maximum proof stress, maximum displacement, deformation capabilities and so on) are obtained and evaluated.

It is same such as the provision of shear buckling strength of steel composite box girder web panel and plate girder web panel in Korea Highway Bridge Design Standards(2012). But the web panel of steel composite box girder is different from the web of plate girder in that the upper slab and lower flange are connected to the web. So a different shear behavior of the girders is expected. In this study, To calculate a reasonable elastic shear buckling strength of steel composite box girder web panel, ABAQUS program was used. The results from F.E.A and previous studies are compared.

The effects of printed circuit board electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) and organic solderability preservative (OSP) surface finishes on the electromigration reliability and shear strength of Sn-3.5Ag Pb-free solder bump were systematically investigated. In-situ annealing tests were performed in a scanning electron microscope chamber at 130, 150, and 170˚C in order to investigate the growth kinetics of intermetallic compound (IMC). Electromigration lifetime and failure modes were investigated at 150˚C and 1.5×105A/cm2, while ball shear tests and failure mode analysis were conducted under the high-speed conditions from 10 mm/s to 3000 mm/s. The activation energy of ENIG and OSP surface finishes during annealing were evaluated as 0.84 eV and 0.94 eV, respectively. The solder bumps with ENIG surface finish showed longer electromigration lifetime than OSP surface finish. Shear strengths between ENIG and OSP were similar, and the shear energies decreased with increasing shear speed. Failure analysis showed that electrical and mechanical reliabilities were very closely related to the interfacial IMC stabilities.

Spatial variations of a seismic wave are mainly wave passage and wave scattering. Wave passage effect is produced by changed characteristics of exciting seismic input motions applied to the bedrock. Modified input motions travel horizontally with time differences determined by apparent shear wave velocity of the bedrock. In this study, wave passage effect on the seismic response of a structure-soil system is investigated by modifying the finite element software of P3DASS (Pseudo 3-Dimensional Dynamic Analysis of a Structure-soil System) to apply inconsistent (time-delayed) seismic input motions along the soft soil–bedrock interface. Study results show that foundation size affected on the seismic response of a structure excited with inconsistent input motions in the lower period range below 0.5 seconds, and seismic responses of a structure were decreased considerably in the lower period range around 0.05 seconds due to the wave passage. Also, shear wave velocity of the bedrock affected on the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range below 0.3 seconds, with significant reduction of the seismic response for smaller shear wave velocity of the bedrock reaching approximately 20% for an apparent shear wave velocity of 1000m/s at a period of 0.05 seconds. Finally, it is concluded that wave passage effect reduces the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range when the bedrock under a soft soil is soft or the bedrock is located very deeply, and wave passage is beneficial for the seismic design of a short period structure like a nuclear container building or a stiff low-rise building.

최근에 지어진 건축물의 경우 지진에 대한 안전성을 확보하고 있지만, 내진설계 도입 이전의 건축물은 지진에 대해 매우 취약하다. 본 연구에서는 내진성능이 부족한 기존 저층 RC구조물의 지진 발생 시 안전성 확보를 위한 내진보강 방안으로 격자강판 전단벽을 제안하고 내진성능평가를 수행하였다. 횡력저항요소로 사용된 격자강판 전단벽의 탄소성 이력특성값은 실험결과를 토대로 횡력저항 기여도등을 평가하여 작성된 이선형곡선을 적용하였다. 비탄성 정적해석을 통해 대상구조물의 성능점을 찾아내어 적용 지진하중에 대한 응답과 성능수준을 평가하였다. 격자강판 전단벽을 적용한 경우, 보강 전에 비하여 응답변위가 약 42% 저감되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 성능점에서 거의 탄성거동을 보여주고 있어 목표성능인 인명안전수준을 만족시켰다. 또한 반응수정계수를 산정하여 내진보강 효과를 검증하였으며, 보강 전과 후에 각각 2.17에서 3.25로 증가하여 설계기준을 초과하였다. 따라서 격자강판 전단벽에 의해 대상 구조물의 강도 및 강성보강이 적절히 수행된 것으로 판단된다.

Adhesive joint method has been used instead of welding, reveted joint, bolt and nut in various industry fields recently. Aluminum foam has hole or crack on adhesive interface which is different from common composite material. To investigate shear characteristic of adhesive interface between aluminum foams, double cantilever beams(DCB) with thicknesses of 25mm, 45mm and 65mm bonded with single-lab joints are designed. The relation between nodes at finite element model is important to investigate adhesive strength in this study. All meshes are generated and some nodes are located on adhesive zone along collinear axis. As reaction force obtained by static experiment is applied, fatigue analysis is carried with 10Hz. In advance, adhesive property is obtained by preliminary experiment for applying adhesive strength to input into simulation analysis. With these conditions, the analysis results show that 2.97MPa, 3.10MPa and 4.2MPa of maximum equivalent stresses are shown respectively in case model thicknesses are 25mm, 45mm and 65mm. By use of the simulation result at this study, it is possible to find adhesive behavior of aluminum foam and be applied to real adhesive joint structure without experiment by sparing experimental cost and time

In this study, flexural strength properties of SC shear walls were investigated through static pushover test. Failure modes and stiffness characteristics of SC shear walls under lateral loads were inspected by analyzing the experimental results. Main failures of unstiffened SC shear walls were found to be the type of bending shear failure due to the unbonding of the steel plate at the concrete interface. The ductility capacity of SC structures was also confirmed to be improved, which is considered to be a confining effect on steel plates in the longitudinal behavior of SC shear walls.

It is shown that the web shear buckling strength of steel composite box girder of Korea Highway Bridge Design Standards(2012) is the most conservative.

Shear test on hollow-core slabs that using board-type lightweight materials is performed. Lightweight materials are positioned in the slabs, it separate into two parts vertically. It is possible that each parts act independently and the concrete columns, in the middle of slab, can resist this action. Thus we have to check horizontal shear force on part-column connection besides vertical shear force. Also effective cross-sectional area shear force which is considered by existing study is checked.
