The purpose of this study is to propose structural technologies on the light-weight composite floor systems in the unit modular and to evaluate structural performance of the composite floor through flexural experiments. The flexural experiments were carried out on total nine specimens(each three type in shape) using steel flat deck and truss deck. From the results of test, all specimens showed the same failure patterns which exhibited deflection at the center of the specimens due to flexural deformation before concrete crushing at the upper of specimens. Also, we know that the proposed floors satisfied in serviceability and would be safe sufficiently. The ratio of experimental yield load by theoretical nominal load was the distribution of 0.86 to 1.27 with an average 1.04. Coefficient of variation in distribution showed good agreement.

This simulation based study analyzed the horizontal daylight distribution on the floor and ceiling of a small office space based on window orientations and interior window blind positions. South and north facing windows were each tested without window blinds and with window blinds at 45° and 180° (horizontal). The study showed that the illuminance value was highest 1m from the window. On the floor and ceiling, the difference in illuminance value was the greatest and least in December and June, respectively. The indoor illuminance value was highest when there was no window blind and under south-facing conditions. The greatest illuminance difference occurred between window blinds positioned at 45° and 180°. Under north-facing conditions, windows without blinds or with blinds at 45° had the least impact on indoor illuminance with illuminance being more evenly distributed.

When floor vibration problems occur in existing buildings, TMD (tuned mass damper) can be a viable alternative to resolving the problem. Only when TMD has been exactly tuned to the natural frequency of the floor, it can control the vibration as intended in design. However, TMD gets inefficient in the situation where the natural frequency changes as a result of the uncontrollable variation of the floor mass weight. This physical phenomenon is often called as TMD-off-tuning. This study proposes asymmetric TMD for enhancing the robustness of floor vibration control against uncertain natural frequencies. The proposed TMD features two asymmetric linear springs such that the floor vibrational energy can be dissipated through both the translational and rotational motion. An easy-to-use graphical optimization method was developed in this study. The asymmetric TMD proposed outperformed in vibration control by 28% compared to that of conventional TMD. The robustness of asymmetric TMD of this study was two times higher than that of conventional TMD.

This paper presents a simplified analysis method using the elastic equivalent modelling not using the global finite element modelling of deck for the basic design GFRP composites deck with cellular tubes or sandwich structural type. In order to verify the validation of the simplified method ANSYS software package is used and compared the results analyzed on the global finite element modelling and the elastic equivalent modelling. And the laboratory testing by 4-point bending is conducted to compare the results based on the simplified analysis method proposed in this paper. The comparison of the results based on the analysis and the testing are discussed. It is found that the presented simplified analysis is applicable to the use in the basic design GFRP composite deck.

To obtain a lower story height with a long span and better fire resistance, a new composite floor system using GFRP (glass-fiber-reinforced plastics) was proposed. This floor system consists of asymmetric steel with a web opening, a hollow core ball, concrete, and GFRP. To evaluate the flexural performance of the new composite floor system, an experiment was conducted. The test parameters were the presence of GFRP, the void ratio in relation to the hollow core balls, and the web opening. The test results showed that the resistance and stiffness of the specimen with GFRP were 10% higher than those of the reference specimen, and that fully composite action was accomplished up to the yielding point. After the attainment of the yield strength, the ductility of the specimen was reduced due to the stress concentration around the web openings. The slip between the concrete and steel beam, however, was small. Thus, in the design of the proposed new floor systems, it is desirable that the calculated resistance be reduced by 15%, for safety.

Recently, it is frequently reported that fatigue damages of deck slabs and floor systems of highway bridges occur under the conditions of increasing weight and traffic of heavy vehicles. These troubles are affected by dynamic wheel load of heavy vehicles running on roadway surface roughness with bump at expansion joint. It is required that this kind of traffic-induced vibration of highway bridges must be analyzed by using three-dimensional models of bridge and vehicle. In this study, the three-dimensional dynamic analysis is carried out, and dynamic responses of deck slab and wheel loads of moving vehicle are estimated according to different vehicle speeds and bump heights. Analytical responses of bridge deck slab are compared with experimental ones which were measured at Umeda entrance bridge of Hanshin Expressway in Osaka.

Until now, wall-slab plate of steel plate concrete has been constructed by joint. But, the shear plate has problems in the workability as well as structural integrity. This study investigates the behavior and strength of rib stiffened SC wall-slab connection. Seven prototype specimens of wall-slab connections were fabricated and tested. the structural safety of the specimens was confirmed through the monotonic loading test. Based on the experimental observations, this study propose the strength formula of the joint was proposed. To enhance the reliability of the proposed strength formula, analytical verification was performed through inelastic finite element analysis. Effect of parameters, such as, load point, friction coefficient, on the joint strength was examined. The proposed formula yields a conservative value for most cases.

Three types of aeration system were installed in experimental liquid fertilization tanks to investigate the change of characteristics of pig slurry used as a raw material for making livestock liquid fertilizer. The aeration systems of the reaction tanks were composed of three major part: the air suppling part (blower), the air pipe part, and the air diffuser part. In the first tank (reactor A), the air was supplied from the bottom of the reaction tank through air pipe system connecting air diffuser with commercial ordinary blower. In the second tank (reactor B), the air diffuser was located 10cm above the bottom of the reactor. In the third tank (reactor C), the pure air was supplied with circulating pjg slurry. The oxygen content of pure air was about 90%. The pure air was mixed with pig slurry by mechanically in the air suppling part (blower) and the air pipe part. The agitation effect was highest in the reactor C than other reactors. The contents of SS, COD, T-N and T-P of each samples collected at middle part of all reactors were 8,500, 4,188, 694 and 422mg/L; 9,000, 4,247, 813 and 356mg/L; 8,667, 6,910, 973 and 269mg/L, respectively.

The kind of concrete generally used in steel concrete composite bridges is normal-weight concrete whose unit weight is ${2,300kg/m^{3}}$. However, using lightweight concrete in composite bridges diminishes the sectional forces due to the self-weight of concrete decks. As a result, this will make the bridge design more economical. The type of concrete deck that could be adopted in composite bridges using lightweight con crete may be classified into Cast-In-Place (C.I.P.) concrete deck and precast concrete deck. These two types of decks have some differences with respect to structural behavior and constructional method, and hence,structural behavior of stud shear connectors that connect a concrete deck to a steel girder is changed with the type of deck used. In this study, push-out tests were conducted to evaluate the characteristics of static behavior of the stud shear connectors with a precast deck using lightweight concrete. Also, additional precast deck specimens with bedding layer that had shear keys and devices for transverse confinement of the bedding layer for the prevention of cracks occurring in the bedding layer were tested. These cracks The efficiency of these devices was then evaluated.
