Adhesive joints are widely used for structural joining applications in various fields and environmental conditions. Polyurethane (PU) and Epoxy adhesives are now being used for liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers at cryogenic temperatures. This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of epoxy and PU adhesive bonds between Triplex sheets at normal and cryogenic temperatures. The most significant result of this study is that for all adhesives tested, there is a significant decrease in peel strength at cryogenic temperatures. However, the reasons for the decrease in peel strength for epoxy and PU adhesives differ. Consequently, PU adhesives can be considered better suited for use in applications requiring high bonding performance at cryogenic conditions, such as in LNG carriers.

레이저 용접은 아크 용접에 비해 상대적으로 빠른 용접과 깊은 용입이 가능하며, 낮은 열입력을 가지는 장점이 있다. 하지만 알루미늄 합금 용접 시 균열 감수성의 증가 및 용접강도가 저하되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하는 방법으로 모재의 화학조성을 제어하는 방법과 부가적인 용접와이어를 공급하는 방법이 제안되었으나 레이저 용접에 적용하기 쉽지 않다. 아크 용접과 전자빔 용접에서는 열원에 오실레이션을 적용하여 결정립 구조를 제어하여 용접강도를 증가하는 방법이 제안되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 합금 5J32-T4의 용접균열 저감 및 용접강도 향상을 위해 레이저 위빙을 적용하였다. 1mm 두께의 알루미늄 5J32-T4를 사용하였으며, 4kW급 디스크 레이저와 레이저용 스케너를 이용하여 레이저 위빙을 구현하였다. 고온균열을 평가하기 위해 자기구속형 균열 평가방법을 사용하였으며, 용접강도를 평가하기 위해 겹치기 용접을 수행한 시편을 이용하였다. 고온균열 실험결과 레이저 위빙 적용 시 직선 용접에 비해 균열 감수성이 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 전단인장강도 측정결과 레이저 위빙의 적용에 따라 직선 용접에 비해 높은 전단인장강도의 확보가 가능하였다.

본 논문에서는 배수성(저소음)포장을 포함하는 2-Layer 아스팔트 포장의 상부층과 하부층의 역학적인 특성을 평가하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 방법으로는 슈퍼페이브 배합설계로 2-Layer 아스팔트 포장의 상 하부층 시편을 제작하였으며, 시편 상부층의 최대공칭치수는 4.75mm이고 하부층의 최대공칭치수는 13mm이다. 이 시편에 대한 기본 물성 시험 실시 후 마샬 안정도 시험에 대한 안정도와 흐름값을 평가하였다. 그리고 상부층과 하부층의 자유단 공진주 시험을 통해 탄성계수(E)를 측정하였고, 비파괴 시험법인 슈미트해머(Schmidt hammer)를 이용해 반발경도를 측정한 후 강도를 추정하였다. 또한 일축압축시험으로 측정된 압축강도로 탄성계수($E_{50}$)를 계산하였다. 마지막으로 각각의 역학적 시험을 통해 얻어진 결과값으로 강도(qu)와 탄성계수 ($E_{50}$)의 상관관계와 추정식으로 구한 강도와 일축압축강도 시험으로 얻어진 강도와의 상관관계를 분석하였고, 자유단 공진주 시험의 탄성계수(E)값과 일축압축시험의 결과로 얻어진 탄성계수($E_{50}$)의 상관관계를 분석하였다.

In this study, development tests varying with concrete strength, development length, and the rate of fiber mix ratio are carried out to evaluate the development characteristics of high-strength concrete member with 80MPa, and the applicability of estimated standards of development length in KCI 2007. As a result, it can be expected that minimum development length of KCI 2007 is applicable to high-strength concrete member with 80MPa. Although the mixed fiber(NY+PP) to secure fire resistance performance of high-strength concrete is included up to 0.1%, it does not affect the development characteristics.

The composite joint has become an important research area because the structural efficiency of a structure with a joint is determined by its joints rather than by its basic structure since the joints are often the weakest areas in composite structures. In this paper, the strengths of adhesive joints consisting of metal and composites were predicted and tested by the maximum strain theory and damage zone theory. Nonlinear finite element analyses of adhesive Joints considering the material nonlinearity of the adhesive layer were performed. From the tests and analyses, the strengths of the adhesive joints could be predicted to within 22.2% using the damage zone ratio.

In this study, a seismic performance evaluation of unreinforced masonry buildings was conducted based on a revised draft of the outline of the seismic performance evaluation of existing buildings. The procedure of the performance evaluation is composed of three-steps, which are a preliminary evaluation, a first-level detailed evaluation, and a second-level detailed evaluation, where evaluation is conservatively conducted in the beginning and then more detailed evaluations are gradually conducted. For the study, ten two-story unreinforced masonry buildings were selected and evaluated using the three-step evaluation. The result showed that the performance levels between the preliminary and the first-level detailed evaluations were reversed, which is different from the intent of the procedure. Therefore, in the near future, the problems in each evaluation step that are presented in the results of this study need to be refined.

In this paper, a series of experiments for the evaluation of flexural resistance of longitudinally stiffened plate girder with slender web were conducted. For the purpose, four plate girder specimens with and without longitudinal stiffener were fabricated for the web slenderness of 219 and 156. The test results were compared with the current AASHTO LRFD and Eurocode 3 codes, respectively. As presented in the previous paper by the authors, it was acknowledged that the AASHTO LRFD code could considerably underestimate the flexural resistance of longitudinally stiffened girder with slender web and the proposed method in the previous paper could estimate the flexural resistance reasonably.

This paper presents numerical analysis results for the lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) strength of steel I-girder bridges. Current Korean and AASHTO design specifications for LTB consider the buckling strength of a single girder with both its ends constrained. The I-girder bridges are composed of more than one girder, and the girders are interconnected with intermediate cross-beams or cross-frames. Therefore, it should be required to evaluate the effects of cross-beam stiffness and the interactionof girders on LTB strength. It is also necessary to consider the effects of transverse web stiffeners on LTB strength. By considering these parameters, a series of four-girder systemswere numerically modeled using 3D shell elements to estimate the LTB strength while considering initial imperfections and residual stresses.

It has been an always issue for the blasting or the impact analysis to consider the strength characteristics of the rock materials associate with loading rate dependency. Due to the nature of transient loading, the dynamic rock test requires a careful technique to achieve the stress equilibrium state of the specimen. In this study, to investigate the relationship between the rock dynamic strength and the stress equilibrium state, a series of dynamic uniaxial compression tests for Pocheon granite were performed. As a result, the unbalanced stress state on the specimen can lead to the premature failure on the specimen and the less estimation of dynamic strength characteristic as well as the overestimation of strain rate. Consequently, a careful consideration of rock fracture process to achieve the dynamic force balance on the specimen should be required to make an reasonable evaluation of rock dynamic strength.

Recently, RC transfer slab systems have been used widely to construct high-rise wall-type apartments for securing parking space or public space. However, it is problem that the design method and structural performance evaluation method developed for thin RC flat slab are still used in the design of the transfer slab whose thickness is very thick and therefore structural behavior is expected to be different from RC flat slab. Thus, for the rational design of the transfer slab, the ultimate shear behavior of the RC transfer slab system is required to be analyzed properly. Accordingly, in the present study, the two-way shear behavior of the transfer slab was analyzed using nonlinear FEM according to various design parameters such as thickness of the transfer slab, strength of concrete, shear span ratio, and reinforcement ratio. In addition, the two-way shear strength evaluations of RC transfer slab by the existing evaluation methods were verified by comparing those with the results of nonlinear FEM analysis.
