Reliability in tunnel analysis is necessary to accomplish technically sound design and economical construction. For this, a thorough understanding of the construction procedure including the ground-support interaction has to be obtained. This paper describes a proper modelling technique to simulate the behavior of the steel fiber reinforced shotcrete (SFRS) which maintain the supporting capability in post-failure regime. The additional supporting effect of the steel support was also verified by 3-D analyses and a new load distribution factor were proposed. The use of the plastic moment limit (PML) alone can eliminate the occurrence of the awkwardly high tensile stress in the shotcrete and can successfully model the post-peak ductile behavior of the SFRS. But with this method, moment is limited whenever the stress caused by moment reaches tensile strength of the shotcrete irrespective of the stress by axial force. Therefore, it was necessary to find a more comprehensive method which can reflect the influence of the moment and axial force. This can be accomplished by the proper use of "liner element" which is the built-in model in FLAC. In this model, the peak and residual strength as well as the uniaxial compressive strength of the SFRS can be specified. Analyses were conducted with these two models on the 2-lane road tunnels excavated in class IV and V rock mass and results were compared with the conventional elastic beam model. Results showed that both models can reflect the fracture toughness of the SFRS which could not be accomplished by the elastic beam model.

Failure behaviour of deep beams is largely depend on shear span to effective depth ratio(a/d). For deep beams with $a/d{\leq}1.0$, the diagonal splitting of the web and local crushing of concrete near applied loads or supports is the most common failure mode. If the beam contains sufficient web reinforcement, area of local crushing will be increased while area of diagonal splitting is decreased. When web reinforcement above purpose, web should be reinforced both in the horizontal and vertical directions or be reinforced in perpendicular direction to diagonal cracks. For deep beams with 1.0${\leq}2.5$, the increment of shear strength by the horizontal web reinforcement are hardly expected unless amount of main bars very small that the main bars should be reached yielding state when shear failure occurs. In contrast, the vertical web reinforcement prevent the beam from being transferred to tied arch mechanism, and as a result th shear strength of beam increase. In this study, formulas based on upper bound theorem of plastic theory are proposed to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete deep beams with $a/d{\leq}1.0$. Comparisons with other experiment results are performed, and good agreement between measured and predicted value by proposed formulas is obtained.

The length of the links in an eccentrically braced frame will dictate the behavior of the frame. Link length controls the yielding mechanism and the ultimate failure mode. For short links, the links' shear forces reach the plastic shear capacity before the end moments reach the plastic moment capacity, and the links yields in the shear, forming a shear hinges. These links are termed "shear links." For long links, the end moments reach the plastic moment capacity before the links' shear forces reach the plastic shear capacity, forming moment hinges. These links are termed moment links." In long links, flexural yielding dominates the response, and very high bending strains are required at the link ends to produce large link deformations. In a shear links, the shear force is constant along the length of the links, and the inelastic shear strain are is uniformly distributed over the length of the links. This permits the development of large inelastic link deformations without the development of excessively high local strains. However, The use of eccentrically braced steel frames for the purpose of architectural cionsiderations such as openings and doors, areis dictating the use of longer links, though. Little data areis available on the behavior of long links under cyclic loading conditions. In This paper documents the results of an experimental program is that was conducted to assess the response of moment links in eccentrically braced frames. Sixteen specimens awere tested using a cyclic load.

Several high nitrogen stainless steel ingots(100kg) were fabricated with changing Ni and $[N]_2$ contents by Pressurized Vacuum Induction Melting(P_VIM). After free forging process, chemical compositions, microstructure and mechanical properties were estimated. Hardness was increased with the increase of $[N]_2$ content. Furthermore, microstructure including a lot of tempering twins was observed with optical microscope. Mechanical properties were estimated as function of solution treatment temperature and cooling method(air/water) under duration time of 1 hr on sample that were fabricated with Ni content under the atmospheric $[N]_2$ pressure. At solution treatment range of $1050{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$, hardness was decreased with the increase of solution temperature and there were little discrepancy of microstructure and hardness with cooling method. Computer simulation was carried out in order to inspect pass schedule in cold rolling process. When the condition of simulation was roll speed of 2.5mpm, rolling rate $15{\sim}17%$ per pass, it was ascertained that the formation such as deformation by sticking and lamellar sliver etc. was restricted from a simulation.

Since the generalized Hoek-Brown criterion (GHB) provides an efficient way of identifying its strength parameter values with the consideration of in-situ rock mass condition via Geological Strength Index (GSI), this criterion is recognized as one of the standard rock mass failure criteria in rock mechanics community. However, the nonlinear form of the GHB criterion makes its mathematical treatment inconvenient and limits the scope of its application. As an effort to overcome this disadvantage of the GHB criterion, the explicit approximate analytical equations for the minimum principal stress, which is associated with the maximum principal stress at failure, are formulated based on the Taylor polynomial approximation of the original GHB criterion. The accuracy of the derived approximate formula for the minimum principal stress is verified by comparing the resulting approximate minimum principal stress with the numerically calculated exact values. To provide an application example of the approximate formulation, the equivalent friction angle and cohesion for the expected plastic zone around a circular tunnel in a GHB rock mass are calculated by incorporating the formula for the approximate minimum principal stress. It is found that the simultaneous consideration of the values of mi, GSI and far-field stress is important for the accurate calculation of equivalent Mohr-Coulomb parameter values of the plastic zone.

Numerous small fibrinous rice bodies are a common finding in joints afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis(RA) or seronegative arthropathy, Subacromial and subdeltoid bursitis of the shoulder associated with multiple rice body formation is a rare occurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the arthroscopic treatment of massive rice bodies in both glenohumeral joint and subacromial-subdeltoid bursae combined with full thickness of rotator cuff in RA. Besides, the MR appearance of subacromial-subdeltoid bursal rice bodies have been previously described in only few recent reports. Therefore, we also describe the MR appearances subacromial-subdeltoid bursae associated with multiple rice bodies in RA.

Herein, we report on the co-firing of a low-K wiring substrate and a middle-K functional substrate in LTCC. Firstly, we researched the sintering behavior and dielectric properties of the low-k wiring substrate comprised by alumina and glass frit with ${\varepsilon}_r$, of $\sim7$ and the middle-k functional substrate comprised by $Ba_{5}Nb_{4}O_{15}$ and glass frit with ${\varepsilon}_r$, of $20\sim30$. The warpage and delamination between the hetero layers of the low-K and the middle-K composition were also studied. In particular, physical matching of the hetero layers could be possible by adjusting of the sintering properties of the composition. We observed that an introduction of the glass frit to the low- and middle-K substrate gives rise to a minimization of an effect given by separation of the hetero layers, and modification of the fraction of the glass frit accompanied by a variation of the composition could control the sintering behavior and its beginning temperature. In the case of co-firing of the L03 as the low-K wiring substrate composition and the M03 as the middle-K functional substrate composition at $875^{\circ}C$, we could fabricate a desirable structure of hetero layers without any kinds of structural defects such as separation, warpage, delamination, pore trap, etc. We suppose that the co-firing techniques described in this study would provide a helpful method to fabricate a LTCC multi-functional for the next generation.

In this work, the $N_2O$ decomposition catalyst and reaction characteristics to control the $N_2O$ removal were described. Experiments were carried out by using Rh as an active metal catalyst on various supports and the $Rh/CeO_2$ catalyst with $CeO_2$ support showed the best activity for the $N_2O$ decomposition when it was prepared under the constant heat treatment condition ($500^{\circ}C$-4 hr). $H_2-TPR$ and XPS analyzes were performed to confirm the effect of the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst on $N_2O$ decomposition. As a result, it was found that the increase of the oxygen transfer capacity of the catalyst due to the increase of both the redox property and $Ce^{3+}$ amount affected the decomposition reaction of $N_2O$. In addition, the future work will include a treatment process capable of decomposition $N_2O$ and NO under the condition that $N_2O$ and NO are simultaneously generated and its characteristics of $N_2O$ decomposition reaction.

마찰교반접합(Friction Stir Welding)은 1991년 영국 TWI에서 개발된 접합 법으로서 일정한 속도로 회전하는 툴이 재료내부에 삽입 되면서 툴과 재료사이에서 마찰열이 발생하여 연화된 재료와 접합 툴 사이에서의 기계적 교반에 의해 소성변형이 일어남과 동시에 접합이 이루어진다. 마찰교반접합은 동적 재결정에 의한 접합부의 미세한 결정립 형성으로 인하여 기계적 특성이 향상되며 보호 가스가 필요 없어 친환경적임과 동시에 용융 용접 법에 비해 접합 시 에너지 소모가 적다는 장점이 있다. 마찰교반접합은 기존의 저융점 재료에 관한 접합을 넘어서 최근에는 철계 합금, 타이타늄 합금, 니켈계 합금 등 고융점 재료에서의 적용에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 마찰교반접합을 이용하여 위와 같은 강한 재료를 접합하기 위해서는 내구성이 갖추어진 툴이 반드시 수반된다. 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 염화물의 농도가 높은 부식 환경에 적용되는 소재로서, 공식(pitting corrosion) 및 틈부식 (crevice corrosion)에 대한 내식성을 높이기 위하여 Mo의 함량을 6%로 낮추고 20~25% Cr과 Ni을 첨가하여 사용된다. 이러한 고합금의 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 여타 내식성 합금에 비하여 내식성이 매우 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 SO2 배출에 대하여 규제가 강화되면서 화력 발전소용 탈황 설비 중 일부 장비에서 6% Mo가 첨가된 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강의 사용이 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $Si_3N_4$ 툴을 사용하여 Mo이 6% 첨가된 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강인 1925hMo강을 마찰교반접합하였다. 툴 회전속도 (200rpm, 300rpm, 460rpm, 700rpm)를 변수로 하여 접합을 실시하였다. 접합 후 외관상태를 점검하였으며 광학현미경 (optical microscope)과 주사전자현미경 (scanning electron microscope)을 사용하여 미세조직 관찰을 하였으며 경도 및 인장강도 측정 등의 실험을 통하여 접합부의 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 그 후 이러한 결과를 통하여 미세조직과 기계적 특성과의 관련성을 조사하였다.

마찰교반접합 (Friction Stir Welding)은 1991년 영국 TWI에서 개발된 접합 법으로서 회전하는 툴이 재료내부에 삽입되면 툴과 재료사이에서 발생하는 마찰열에 의하여 온도가 상승하게 되어 재료는 연화되고, 이러한 재료 내부에서 회전하는 툴이 이동하게 되면 재료 내부는 기계적 교반에 의해 소성변형이 일어남과 동시에 접합이 이루어진다. 마찰교반접합은 동적 재결정에 의한 접합부의 미세한 결정립 형성으로 인하여 기계적 특성이 향상되며 보호 가스가 필요 없어 친환경적임과 동시에 용융 용접 법에 비해 접합 시 에너지 소모가 적으며 또한 접합 후 접합부에서의 변형이 상대적으로 적다는 장점이 있다. 이러한 장점을 가진 마찰교반접합은 알루미늄 합금, 마그네슘 합금 그리고 동 합금과 같은 저 융점 비철재료에 많은 연구와 적용 사례들이 있어왔다. 하지만 최근에는 일반 탄소강, 연강, 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강, 니켈 합금, 티타늄 합금과 같은 고융점 재료에도 연구 및 적용이 진행되고 있는 추세이다. 페라이트계 스테인리스강은 가격이 비싼 Ni을 함유하지 않아 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강에 비하여 강재의 가격은 낮으면서도 고온특성 및 내식성이 우수하여 건축용, 자동차 배기계용으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이런 장점을 가진 페라이트계 스테인리스강을 기존의 용융 용접 법으로 접합 시 용접부 및 열영향부에서의 결정립의 조대화로 인한 인성 및 연성이 저하되며, 특히 예민화된 열영향부 입계 내에 Cr 탄화물이 석출되어 입계주변에 Cr 결핍 층을 형성되어 입계부식이 발생되는 문제점이 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 마찰교반접합을 이용하여 두께 3mm의 409 스테인리스강에 대해 맞대기 접합을 실시하였다. 접합 변수를 툴의 재료 (WC-12wt%Co, $Si_3N_4$)로 하여 접합을 실시하였고 접합 후 외관상태 점검, 광학 현미경과 주사 전자 현미경을 통하여 미세조직을 관찰하였으며 황산-황산동 부식 시험을 실시하여 접합부의 부식 특성을 평가하였다.
