In this study, a trapezoidal hollow ball is used, instead of a spherical hollow ball commonly used in void slab, to secure the high hollow ratio in the deck type void slab. The bending and shear performance was measured with consideration for the shape change of the hollow ball. And to confirm the effect of deck plate and truss wire on shear performance, experiments were performed depending on the installation directions of the one-way deck plate. As a result, the bending performance of the deck type void slab with a trapezoidal hollow ball was similar to that of the void slab with a spherical hollow ball. However, according to the data of shear strength examined, the contribution of shear performance enhancement of the truss wire had a more effect on the shear performance of deck type void slab, rather than the influence by changing of the shape of hollow ball. In the previous studies, the shear strength is reduced to about 60%, due to the reduction of the effective section of concrete by installation of hollow ball. But in this experiment, the maximum load of specimen, in which the deck was installed in horizontal direction, so expected to have no influence on the shear performance, was only reduced to about 87%, due to the truss framework of truss wire.

The current study prepared 9 laboratorial concrete mixes and 3 ready-mixed concrete batches to examine the size and shape effects in compression failure of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWC). The concrete mixes were classified into three groups: normal-weight, all-lightweight and sand-lightweight concrete groups. For each concrete mix, the aspect ratio of circular or square specimens was 1.0 and 2.0. The lateral dimension of specimens varied between 50 and 150 mm for each laboratorial concrete mix, whereas it ranged from 50 to 400 mm with an incremental variation of 50 mm for each ready-mixed concrete batch. Test observations revealed that the crack propagation and width of the localized failure zone developed in lightweight concrete specimens were considerably different than those of normal-weight concrete (NWC). In LWC specimens, the cracks mainly passed through the coarse aggregate particles and the crack distribution performance was very poor. As a result, a stronger size effect was developed in LWC than in NWC. Especially, this trend was more notable in specimens with aspect ratio of 2.0 than in specimens with that of 1.0. The prediction model derived by Kim et al. overestimated the size effect of LWC when lateral dimension of specimen is above 150 mm. On the other hand, the modification factors specified in ASTM and CEB-FIP provisions, which are used to compensate for the shape effect of specimen on compressive strength, were still conservative in LWC.

플라스틱 제품은 경량이며 내후성, 내구성, 방음성, 단열성, 절연성 등이 우수하고 또한 발포가공에 의해 원료 폴리머의 사용량을 저감시켜 생산원가를 줄일 수 있다는 커다란 장점이 있다. 그러나 물리적인 강도, 가연성, 내열성 등의 한계점 때문에 그 용도가 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 형상 변경이 비교적 용이한 경량 구조체를 이용한 건축소재는 협소공간의 고도 이용과 건설 분야의 양적, 질적인 측면에서 급속한 성장으로 건축자재의 경량화, 고급화 및 다양화를 요구하고 있으며 이에 polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene 등의 플리스틱 및 foam 형태의 저밀도 고분자 건축소재의 사용이 급증되고 있다.(중략)

대공간 구조물과 초고층 빌딩에 있어 건축물의 자중 감소에 대한 요구가 늘어나고 있으며 이에 대한 가장 효과적인 방법 중 하나는 경량 콘크리트를 사용하는 것이다. 본 연구는 최외단 철근의 순인장 변형률에 따른 경량콘크리트 보의 휨 거동 및 휨 성능을 평가하는 것에 그 목적이 있다. 크기와 형상이 동일한 보통중량 콘크리트 보 1개와 경량 콘크리트 보 4개의 총 5개 시험체를 제작하여 최외단 철근의 순인장 변형률을 변수로 실험을 수행하였으며 이를 통해 순인장 변형률에 따른 경량콘크리트 보의 강도와 연성의 변화를 분석하였다. 실험 결과 최외단 철근의 순인장 변형률이 증가할수록 시험체의 연성비는 증가하였으며 최대하중과 강성은 감소하였다. 특히 순인장 변형률 0.005 이상에서 연성지수 2 이상을 확보할 수 있었다.

The demand for the lightweight wall has increased as the structure of the multi-unit dwelling has shift to the rahmen structure. The lightweight wall is required to secure certain degree of shock resistance for the structural safety. The study performed the load analysis test for 7 small hard bodies with different masses and shapes and 5 hard materials which applied the impact load on the wall. It was found out from the experiment that different pendulum weight doubled the load maximum even though the shock energy was the same. In addition, the study compared and analyzed the weight of materials and the load of small hard bodies to propose fundamental data for the material design of the lightweight wall.

The purpose of this study is to estimate experimentally the flexural behavior, capacity and validity of existing regulation of net tensile strain in lightweight concrete beams and polymer modified lightweight concrete beams. One normal weight concrete beam and four lightweight concrete beams, three polymer modified lightweight concrete beams were constructed as same figure and attempted to evaluate the difference of strength and ductility in specimens of different net tensile strain in extreme tension steel. Test results are indicated in terms of load-deflection behavior and ductility index. As the value of net tensile strain increased, the flexural strength and stiffness of specimen decreased but ductility index increased in both of lightweight concrete beams and polymer modified lightweight concrete beams. It is considered that to achieve similar ductility index of normal weight concrete, net tensile strain in extreme tension steel should exceed 0.005 for lightweight concrete beam and polymer modified lightweight concrete beam.

This paper investigates the punching shear strength of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) slabs through a series of experimental study. Five full scale slabs were constructed using normal concrete and four different types of LWAC. Each lightweight aggregate (LWA) used in this study had different sources (clay, shale, or slate) and shapes (crushed or spherical shape). Based on the test results, the effect of the lightweight aggregates (LWA) on the punching shear behavior was investigated. From the test results, it was found that the punching shear failure surface of LWAC slab with spherical shape coarse aggregate was less inclined than that with crushed shape coarse aggregate, which resulted in an increase of the area of the shear failure surface. As a result, it leads to the increased punching shear strength of the slab. On the other hand, the failure surfaces of LWAC slab with crushed shape coarse aggregate and normal coarse aggregate were inclined similarly. Finally, the test results of this study were compared with the punching shear strength obtained from current design models, such as ACI and CEB-FIP, to examine the validation of current design model to predict the punching shear strength of the LWAC slab.

The deployable reflector antenna consists of 24 unit main reflectors, and is mounted on a launch vehicle in a folded state. This satellite reaches the operating orbit and the antenna of satellite is deployed, and performs a mission. The deployable reflector antenna has the advantage of reduce the storage volume of payload of launch vehicle, allowing large space structures to be mounted in the limited storage space of the launch vehicle. In this paper, structural analysis was performed on the main reflector constituting the deployable reflector antenna, and through this, the initial conceptual design was performed. Lightweight composite main reflector was designed by applying a carbon fiber composite and honeycomb core. The laminate pattern and shape were selected as design variables and a design that satisfies the operation conditions was derived. Then, the performance of the lightweight composite reflector antenna was analyzed by performing detailed structural analysis on modal analysis, quasi-static, thermal gradient, and dynamic behavior.

Most analyses and researches on Micro Aerial Vehicle(MAV) have focused upon propulsion, automatic control, aerodynamic configuration in low Reynolds number region, and miniaturization of telemetric parts. In the present study, a structural concept for MAV is designed by using the composite material suitable for light flight structures. In order to study the load path and stress state of the MAV, the load and structural analyses are simultaneously performed by the aeroelasticity module of MSC/NASTRAN. The stability derivatives of the MAV are obtained for three symmetric, two antisymmetric, and four unsymmetric maneuvering conditions. Although the aerodynamic theory in MSC/NASTRAN could not be proper for MAV analysis, it provides an traditional and effective tool for trim and load analyses and may be corrected with the results by more accurate theory or test. The results show that the inertial load due to payloads has a more effect on stress rather than the aerodynamic load.
