An air core is generated during draining through an axisymmetrically placed circular orifice after rotating a cylindrical tank filled with a liquid. If an air core is generated, the draining flow rate decreases and the draining time increases. In this study, the process of the formation of the air core and internal flow characteristics in a cylindrical tank are studied by numerical methods. Several methods are used in the analysis, and the results are compared with experimental results to obtain the appropriate scheme. Axial, radial, and swirl velocity profiles on a variety of heights are shown graphically, and the internal flow structure is analyzed from the velocity profiles, the vector plot, and the stream function distribution.

Acoustic backscattering from a buble column in water was studied theoretically and experimentally. For theoretical analysis a general scattering theory was used by assuming the bubble column to be lumped element scatterer which can be characterized by its shape, void fraction and dimensions. When the void fraction is less than 1% and the incident frequency is higher than individual bubble resonance frequencies, the experimental results show that the acoustic backscattering from a bubble column depends mainly on the void fraction rather than the individual bubble sizes. It was also theoretically and experimentally observed that the acoustic backscattering levels were increased and their peaks moved to the lower frequency regin by raising the void fraction of bubble column.

An air-core vortex is generated during draining after stirring a rotating cylindrical tank or after filling it with water. The formation of the air-core vortex and the time of its formation are dependent on drain conditions such as the dimensions of the tank, the initial rotation or stirring speed, and the shape of the drain port. In this study, a draining process using a two-stage drain port was numerically investigated. The length and radius of the first drain stage located in the lower part of the drain port were kept constant, whereas the radius of the second drain stage was varied for simulating the draining process. The simulation was conducted by considering an axisymmetric swirling flow for all cases. The declining water level was monitored by an interface capturing method. Further, the effects of the radius of the second drain stage on the time of formation of the air-core vortex and the internal flow structure were investigated.

Shortening the construction duration of structural frame work is extremely important because the work accounts for a major percentage of all cost and duration in large projects. For this reason, new construction methods to reduce the duration of structural frame work are being continuously studied and developed. A PSRC composite column, which uses steel angles instead of H-beams, has the advantages of flexural strength and ductility. Moreover, with this PSRC technique, conventional work for reinforcing bars in columns in practice can be skipped. However, one limitation exists in which the form work is still required. This research proposes a Form-LPSRC column method that is prefabricated with the column frame that includes permanent forms attached. Feasibility was examined with mock-up specimens and finally, the technique applied to real practice. Compared to the conventional SRC column method, this study demonstrated that the proposed technique has many advantages in construction duration, cost, quality, safety and environment.

Recently, Construction Business, is changing very quickly, exceedingly needs to slim down the construction expensive by reducing material costs and the term of works. The term of formwork takes 25% of the term of works and costs 15% to 20% of the cost of construction. Hereupon, the purpose of this study is to investigate the Axial Strength of Centrifugall Formed Shell PC Columns that can reduce the term of formwork, the costs of material, the difficulty of throwing away the waste. Shell PC Column is loaded stirrups and manufactured at factory, so it has good points like construction's quality control and part's precision. However, it needs to be tested for checking bonded ability because it is set up at core and coverd with concrete. therefore this study is necessary three type of columns, which are a RC column, different type of two compressive strength core concrete columns and a Shell PC Column. By three columns, this study compare with and analysis three columns's bonded and Compressive Behavior abilities.

When draining takes place through an axially located drain port in a cylindrical tank without any prevent, a vortex with an air core occurs. In this study, semi spherical concave and convex meshes with different size inner hole are used to find the air core can suppress. The study is carried out with different values of inner hole of mesh and different install direction of semi spherical mesh using PIV and measured velocity distribution. By providing a mesh, the air core can be prevented, even if the ratio of inner hole of mesh and diameter of cylinder is around 0.66. The experimental results show that a convex mesh type is more effective to suppress the air core generation than a concave mesh type.

The purpose of this study is to experimentally evaluate the structural behavior of built-up type column consisted of angles and y-shape steel sheet forms for filling concrete. This column for minimizing form working and reinforcement placing is able to improve capacity of construction and reduce the term of works. Thirteen 1/3 scaled columns were fabricated. The main variables are 1) effect of angles and y-shape steel sheets of fabricated columns, 2) slenderness of column, 3) eccentricity of column. The results show that the experimental capacity of built-up type column is similar to theoretical one by reinforcement concrete design code. The maximum loads increase according to the rate of angle to cross section of column.

CFT (Concrete filled steel tube) column has become popular for building construction due to not only its composite effect but also economic effect. However, the conventional CFT column also has its own disadvantages having plastic buckling at the end of column followed by the reduction of strength by yielding of steel tube. An experiment on TR-CFT (Transversely reinforced CFT) column are conducted for making up for conventional CFT column's disadvantages. The experiment parameters are strength of concrete, the layer numbers of carbon fiber sheet. In this study, hysteretic curve, initial stiffness, strength, plastic deformation capacity, and dissipated energy are compared and analyzed between CFT and TR-CFT columns.
