Most reinforced concrete (RC) school buildings constructed in the 1980s have seismic vulnerabilities due to low transverse reinforcement ratios in columns and beam-column joints. In addition, the building structures designed for only gravity loads have the weak-columnstrong- beam (WCSB) system, resulting in low lateral resistance capacity. This study aims to investigate the lateral resistance capacities of a two-story, full-scale school building specimen through cyclic loading tests. Based on the experimental responses, load-displacement hysteresis behavior and story drift-strain relationship were mainly investigated by comparing the responses to code-defined story drift limits. The test specimen experienced stress concentration at the bottom of the first story columns and shear failure at the beam-column joints with strength degradation and bond failure observed at the life safety level specified in the code-defined drift limits for RC moment frames with seismic details. This indicates that the seismically vulnerable school building test specimen does not meet the minimum performance requirements under a 1,400-year return period earthquake, suggesting that seismic retrofitting is necessary.
This paper aims to quantify the retrofit effect of the Bolt Prefabricated Concrete-Filled Tube reinforcement method on non-seismic school reinforced concrete building through static cyclic loading experiments. To achieve the objective, two-story specimens including a non-retrofitted frame(NRF) and a Bolt Prefabricated Concrete-Filled Tube Reinforcement Frame(BCRF) were tested under static cyclic loading, and the lateral resistant capacities were compared in terms of maximum strength, initial stiffness, effective stiffness, and total energy dissipation. In addition, the load-displacement curves were compared to the story drift limit specified in Seismic Performance Evaluation and Retrofit Manual for School Facilities to investigate if the retrofitted frame was satisfied in target performance(life safety). Experimental results showed that BCRF successfully met the target performance, with a 200% increase in maximum strength and a 300% increase in energy dissipation capacity. Additionally, both initial stiffness and effective stiffness improved by more than 30% compared to NRF. Furthermore, BCRF exhibited an effect that delayed the occurrence of bond failure.
일반적으로 전기 패널은 용접이나 앵커링을 통해 기초에 설치된다. 콘크리트 기초-앵커 시스템에서 고려해야 할 열화 요인에 는 콘크리트 기초의 균열이 포함된다. 콘크리트 균열은 전기 패널의 앵커에 영향을 미치는 열화 현상 중 하나로 간주될 수 있다. 또한 독립반 및 열반된 전기 패널의 동적 특성은 상당히 다를 수 있다. 그러나 많은 연구자들이 하나의 전기 캐비닛 시편으로 진동대실험을 수행하였다. 따라서 열반 구성을 고려하여 동적 특성을 평가할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 0.5 mm 및 1.0 mm 균열 폭을 고려하여 콘크리트 기초-앵커 시스템을 설계하였다. 콘크리트 기초-앵커 시스템을 진동대에 고정하고 1∼3개의 열반으로 구성된 단순화된 캐비 닛 모델을 설치하였다. 열반 수와 콘크리트 균열을 매개변수로 고려하여 진동대에 의한 공진주파수 검색 실험을 수행했으며 각 실험편 의 공진 주파수를 비교하였다.
Experimental findings pertaining to the frost resistance of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) and amorphous calcium aluminate (ACA) cement-based repair mortars incorporated with anhydrite gypsum are described herein. To prepare the mortars, CSA and/or ACA cements were used as binders, and the water–binder ratio was fixed at 0.57. The compressive and bond strengths, chloride-ion penetration resistance, and scaling resistance of the mortars were measured. Based on the ASTM C666 method, the resistance to both frost action and multi-deterioration of chloride and frost attacks on the mortars were experimentally examined. Calcium aluminate-based binders effectively enhanced the compressive and bond strengths of the mortars owing to the formation of C2AH8 and Ye’elimite hydrates. Furthermore, replacing 25% ACA with OPC yielded excellent resistance to both frost attack and multi-deterioration of chloride and frost attacks. Replacing ACA at an appropriate level as a binder effectively improves the durability of concrete road facilities in winter.
The purpose of this study is to experimentally analyze the seismic performance of a vertical irregular beam-column specimen reinforced with RBS (Replaceable Steel Brace System), a steel brace system. To evaluate the seismic performance of RBS, three specimens were manufactured and subjected to cycle loading tests. The stiffness ratio of beam-upper column of the non-retrofitted specimen was 1.2, and those of the two retrofitted specimens were 1.2 and 0.84. The stiffness ratio of the beam-lower column of all specimens was 0.36. And the stiffness ratio were used for variable. As a result of the experiment, the specimen retrofitted with RBS showed improved maximum load, effective stiffness and energy dissipation capacity compared to the non-retrofitted specimen with the same beam-upper column stiffness ratio. The specimen with 0.84 beam-upper column stiffness ratio showed improved performance compared to the specimen with 1.2 stiffness ratio.
In this study, the calorimeter was used to experimentally investigate the heating characteristics of the variable A/C system according to changes in loading time and outdoor dry bulb temperature. The heating capacity, COP and compressor discharge temperature were measured while changing the loading time of the compressor. To develop the correlation for compressor discharge temperature, loading time, indoor dry bulb temperature and outdoor dry bulb temperatures were considered as operating variables. As the outdoor temperature and loading time increased, the heating capacity and COP increased. However, the change in COP showed different trends depending on the outdoor temperature. The evaporation temperature according to the loading time is a good estimate of the outdoor temperature. However, as the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor rooms decreases and the loading time increases, the condensation pressure increases significantly, so the condensation temperature increases. The maximum deviation between the correlation and the experimental value for compressor discharge temperature was within approximately 2℃.
This study investigates the thermal expansion characteristics of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene(HTPB) based solid propellants, focusing on batch-to-batch variability and accelerated aging effects. Coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) measurements were conducted using thermomechanical analyzer(TMA) on samples from different manufacturing batches and specimens aged at various temperatures for different durations. Results indicate variations in CTE values between batches, highlighting the significance of manufacturing process control. Accelerated aging experiments reveal minimal systematic changes in CTE, suggesting stability of thermal expansion properties under short-term thermal stress. The overall distribution of CTE values shows concentration within a specific range, indicating consistency in thermal expansion characteristics. These findings provide insights into the thermal behavior of HTPB-based solid propellants, contributing to improved missile design and lifecycle prediction models.
In this study, the calorimeter was used to experimentally investigate the cooling characteristics of the variable A/C system according to changes in loading time and outdoor dry bulb temperature. The cooling capacity, COP and compressor discharge temperature were measured while changing the loading time of the compressor. To develop the correlation for compressor discharge temperature, loading time, indoor and outdoor dry bulb temperatures, evaporation and condensation temperatures were considered as operating variables. As the loading time increased, the cooling capacity and COP increased. The cooling capacity increased linearly with the loading time. The COP increased more at low loading times than at high loading times. The change in condensing temperature according to the loading time had a small temperature fluctuation range, and the evaporation temperature decreased linearly. The compressor discharge temperature increased linearly with the loading time and outdoor temperature, and the maximum deviation between the experimental value and the correlation was within about 2℃.
라멘 구조는 건설 분야에서 가장 널리 쓰이는 구조 형식이다. 그러나 최대 부모멘트가 발생하는 우각부에서 적절한 세부 검토 가 필요하다. 따라서 적절한 휨강도 및 휨강성을 보유한 연결구조가 필요하며, 이에 적합하지 않을 경우 우각부 볼트 배치를 회피하여야 한다. 이 연구에서는 휨강도, 휨강성 및 시공안전성 등의 구조적 성을 개선하기 위해 특수한 형식의 우각부 볼트 연결 방식을 제안하였 으며, 기존 및 제안한 볼트 연결 방식이 적용된 강재 라멘 구조에 대한 휨강도실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 제안한 우각부 볼트 연결 방식은 기존 방식에 비해 휨성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 하부구조 전면에 헌치를 설치할 경우 휨성능이 더욱 증대되는 것으로 나타 났다.
Recently, the floor construction method of buildings is rapidly being replaced by the steel deck construction method of factory products from the past cast-in-place formwork method in order to shorten construction period, reduce labor costs, and improve constructability. In this study, the bending capacity of a newly developed lattice integrated rib-type deck plate that is economical and constructible was evaluated through a simple beam test. As a result of the experiment, the lattice integrated rib-type deck installed by adding rib to the existing flat deck had excellent initial rigidity and maximum load-bearing ability, confirming the feasibility of practical use. In addition, the test specimen in which the tensile rebar is not integrated with the lattice and deck has very low initial stiffness, which is insufficient to support the load at the construction stage, and new details need to be developed to overcome this.
In the present study, the inertial electromagnetic actuator (IEA) and the FxLMS (filtered-x least mean square) method were applied to study vibration control using the active mount. IEA was designed and manufactured for the experiment, and FxLMS algorithm was developed to evaluate control performance and mount dynamic characteristics. For the vibration control experiment, active mounts were installed at the top and bottom, and the lower active mount controls the force transmitted to the structure by the excitation signal from the upper active mount. The experiment was performed by simultaneously exciting three frequencies in three axes. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that the force measured at the lower active mount when the actuator is off is greatly reduced when the actuator is on, and that vibration reduction in the vertical z-axis is more effective than vibration reduction in the x-y plane.
본 논문은 염해 환경에 노출된 CFRP Grid로 보강된 콘크리트 보의 휨 거동에 대한 실험적 연구를 보고한다. 실험을 위해 길 이 2,200 mm, 폭 250 mm, 높이 125 mm의 실험체가 제작되었다. 실험변수로 염화물 수용액의 종류(NaCl: 염화나트륨, CaCl2: 염화칼 슘), 사전 하중 가력의 유무 및 염화물 용액 침지 기간(40일, 120일)이 고려되었다. 제작된 실험체는 침지 후 3점 휨 실험이 수행되었다. 초기 균열 하중은 침지 40일 후 증가하였으나, 120일 이후 다시 감소하였다. 파괴 모드는 사전 하중 가력을 통해 균열이 발생되지 않은 실험체에서는 대부분 콘크리트 압축부가 파쇄되는 휨파괴 양상을 보였으며, 사전 하중 가력을 통해 균열이 발생된 실험체는 모두 Pull-Out 파괴가 발생되었다. 염화칼슘에 침지된 실험체에서는 120일 이후 약 10%의 극한하중의 감소가 나타났으며, 염화나트륨에 침지 된 실험체의 극한하중은 미미하게 증가하였다. 균열이 발생된 실험체에서는 모두 120일 이후 극한하중 및 처짐이 급격하게 감소되었다.
철근은 콘크리트와 결합하여 인장 능력을 보완하고 표면 피막으로 부식을 방지하지만, 탄산화 및 염화물 침투로 인해 부식이 발생하면 내력이 저하된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 내부식성이 뛰어난 GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) 보강근이 철근 대채제로 주 목받고 있다. 본 연구는 직경에 따른 GFRP 보강근의 부착특성을 철근과 실험적으로 비교 분석하였다. 콘크리트는 약 39MPa의 고강도 에 가까운 콘크리트를 사용하였으며, 보강근의 직경은 D10과 D13을 사용하였다. 실험 결과, GFRP 보강근의 평균 부착 응력은 17.21MPa로 철근의 18.14MPa와 유사하게 나타났다. GFRP 보강근의 슬립 양은 3.05mm로 철근의 1.53mm 보다 크게 나타났다. 또한 GFRP의 경우 인발 과정에서 표면에 국부손상이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.
In the present study, a calorimeter was used to experimentally investigate the heating capacity and COP changes according to the pipe length of a variable capacity A/C system with long pipes. Cooling capacity, COP, and compressor discharge temperature were obtained by changing pipe lengths and loading duties at fixed indoor and outdoor temperatures. And the operation status and cycle change process of the A/C system were investigated using some experimental data and P-h diagrams. As the pipe length changes, the heat transfer within the cycle and the operating load of the compressor change, so the heating capacity and COP of the system change. At the same loading duty, as the pipe length increases, the heating capacity and COP decrease. As the loading duty increased, the heating capacity increased almost linearly, but the COP decreased. Since the long pipe experimental value for the compressor discharge temperature has a temperature deviation of up to 1 7℃(50m, L/D : 10/10) from the correlation equation, the optimal correlation equation must be derived through additional research.

Cooling capacity, COP, and compressor discharge temperature were obtained by changing pipe length and loading duty. And the operation status and cycle change process of the A/C system were investigated using some experimental data and P-h diagrams. In long pipes, the pressure drop increases and the operating load on the compressor increases. Additionally, at the same loading duty, cooling capacity and COP decrease and the compressor discharge temperature increases. As loading duty increases, cooling capacity and compressor power consumption increase. Since the temperature deviation between the experimental value and the correlation equation for the discharge temperature of the long-pipe compressor shows a maximum of 10.5℃(50m, L/D : 20/0), the existing correlation equation needs to be modified.
RC구조물에서 대부분의 인장력을 받는 철근은 다양한 환경에 노출되었을 때 부식이 발생하며, 이러한 철근의 부식은 인장력 감소와 더불어 철근의 주변에 존재하는 콘크리트 균열 크기를 확장시켜 RC 구조물의 수명을 단축시키는 주요한 원인으로 작용하고 있 다. 이로인해 건축물의 유지 관리에 많은 비용이 필요하게 되며, 과도한 구조물의 유지, 관리 비용은 건설 분야의 문제점으로 남아있 다. 탄소섬유 강화 폴리머(CFRP)는 내화학성(비부식) 특성과 중량 대비 높은 강도로 인해 철근을 대체할 수 있는 보강제로 주목받고 있으며, CFRP보강재의 높은 항상성은 위에 대두된 구조물의 유지 관리 비용을 크게 절감할 수 있을 것이라 판단되어 연구되어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 건설 분야에서 CFRP 보강재를 사용하기 위한 과정 중 CFRP 그리드를 내부 보강제로 사용하기 위한 연구로써 CFRP 그리드와 콘크리트의 부착 특성을 실험을 통해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 다양한 정착 길이를 가진 30개의 콘크리트 부착 시편에 대해 인발 시험을 수행하였으며, 실험 결과를 바탕으로 콘크리트에서 CFRP 그리드의 부착 특성을 분석하고 콘크리트 구조물의 보강재 로 CFRP 그리드를 적용하기 위한 분석 공식을 제안하였다.
