The procedure of the elastic response spectrum method which is used in the codes of many countries involves the computation of a static horizontal substitute loading resulting from the earthquake. The substitute loading is divided by a behavioral factor in order to take energy dissipation due to the real nonlinear structural behavior and damping effects ect. into account. The behavioral factors widely used in many countries are based not on the exact calculation but only on the empirical data. In order to determine the behavioral factors analytically, it is necessary to define the limit state of structures as a first step. In this work, the methods of the determination of limit state for the steel structures are discussed in the geometric, serviceabile and material apsects, and the behavioral factors for the three types of structures are calculated.

In this study, the response modification factor for a RC IMRF is evaluated via pushover analysis, where 5-story structures were designed in accordance with KBC2009. The bending moment-curvature relationship for beams and columns was identified with a fiber model, and the bending moment-rotation relationship for beam-column joints was calculated using a simple and unified joint shear behavior model and the moment equilibrium relationship for the joint. The results of the pushover analysis showed that the strength of the structure was overestimated with negligence of the inelastic shear behavior of the beam-column joint, and that the average response modification factor for category C was 7.78 and the factor for category D was 3.64.

Diffusion Coefficient$(D_0)$ and electrode reaction rate Constant$(K_0)$ of Co$(dimethyl bipyridine)_3(ClO_4)_2$ were determined by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. It was also investigated that the effects of solvent, concentration, and scan rate, etc. on the diffusion coefficient and the temperature effect on the rate constant. The peak currents and diffusion coefficients were dcreased as increasing the viscosity of solvent. Diffusion coefficient was $5.54{\times}10^{-6 }cm^2/sec$ and the reaction rate constant was $2.39{\times}10^{-3 }/s$ at 25$^{\circ}C$. The thermodynamic parameters such as ${\Delta}G^{\neq},\;{\Delta}H^{\neq},\;and\;{\Delta}S$ were calculated from plotting the reaction rate constants versus the solution temperatures. This compound was shown the catalytic effect on the oxygen reduction that the reduction peak current of oxygen was greatly enhanced and the peak potential was shifted to +0.2 volt.

In South Korea, ongoing incidents related to drinking water quality have eroded consumer trust. Specifically, beyond quality incidents, there have been complaints about taste, odor, and other issues stemming from the presence of chlorine. To address this, water service operators are employing various management strategies from both temporal (scheduling) and spatial (rechlorination) perspectives to ensure uniform and safe distribution of chlorine residuals. In this study, we focus on the optimal monthly management of chlorine residuals, based on water distribution network analysis. Water quality reaction coefficients, including bulk fluid and wall reaction coefficients, were estimated through lab-scale tests and EPANET water quality simulations, respectively, accounting for temperature variations in a large-scale water distribution network. Utilizing these estimated coefficients, we examined the monthly variations in chlorine residual distribution under different chlorine injection conditions. The results indicate that the efficient concentration for chlorine injection, which satisfies the residual chlorine limit range, varies with temperature changes. Consequently, it is imperative to establish a specific and quantitative chlorine injection plan that considers the accurate spatial distribution of monthly chlorine residuals.

아임계 및 초임계수에 의한 목질바이오매스의 당화특성을 분석하기 위하여 분해공정 동안 압력을 23MPa(물의 임계압력)로 고정하고 물의 아임계 온도$(325^{\circ}C,\;350^{\circ}C)$와 초임계 온도$(380^{\circ}C,\;400^{\circ}C,\;425^{\circ}C)$에서 현사시나무 목분을 각각 60초 동안 처리하였다. 생성된 현사시나무의 분해산물에는 액상과 고형분의 분해산물이 섞여 있었다. 각 처리조건에 따른 목질바이오매스의 분해율은 온도가 상승함에 따라 증가하였으며 초임계 온도인 $425^{\circ}C$에서 최고 83.1%의 분해율을 나타냈다. 아임계 및 초임계수에 의해서 생성된 단당류는 고성능 음이온 교환 크로바토그래프(HPAEC)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 목질바이오매스의 초임계수 분해과정에서 처리 온도가 높아지면서 단당류 수율은 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, $425^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 7.3%의 단당류 수율을 나타내었다. 아임계 온도 범위에서는 현사시나무의 섬유소 성분 중에서 자일란이 우선적으로 분해되어 자일로스의 생성비율이 비교적 높았으며, 처리온도가 높아지면서 셀롤로오스의 분해에 의한 글루코오스 생성율이 급격히 상승하였다. 이렇게 생성된 단당류 성분들은 고온의 반응조건하에서 열분해 반응에 의해서 더욱 분해되어 퓨란계 화합물로 변형되었다.

In this study, computer simulations have been performed for the removal of the transformer oil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in supercritical water through complete combustion reaction. We regarded n-decane as a main material of transformer oil, and it is assumed to be 3.0 wt％ of transformer oil in supercritical water. We used Peng-Robinson equation of state to estimate the physical properties of components in supercritical water. Throughout the computer simulation done in this work, we could explain the solubilities of 3.0 wt% of transformer oil and excess oxygen in supercritical water.

In Korea, from January 2023, the Act on Labeling and Advertising of Food was revised to reflect the use-by-date rather than the sell-by-date. Hence, the purpose of this study was to establish a system for calculating the safety factor and determining the recommended use-by-date for each food type, thereby providing a scientific basis for the recommended use-by-date labels. A safety factor calculation technique based on scientific principles was designed through literature review and simulation, and opinions were collected by conducting surveys and discussions including industry and academia, among others. The main considerations in this study were pH, Aw, sterilization, preservatives, packaging for storage improvement, storage temperature, and other external factors. A safety factor of 0.97 was exceptionally applied for frozen products and 1.0 for sterilized products. In addition, a between-sample error value of 0.08 was applied to factors related to product and experimental design. This study suggests that clearly providing a safe use-by-date will help reduce food waste and contribute to carbon neutrality.

In this study, a five-story steel frame was designed in accordance with KBC2005 to evaluate the effect of the beam-column connection on the structural behavior. The connections were designed as a fully rigid connection and as a semirigid connection. A fiber model was utilized to describe the moment-curvature relationship of the steel beam and column, and a three-parameter power model was adopted for the moment-rotation angle of the semirigid connection. To evaluate the effects of higher modes on structural behavior, the structure was subjected to a KBC2005-equivalent lateral load and lateral loads considering higher modes. The structure was idealized as a separate 2D frame and as a connected 2D frame. The pushover analysis of 2D frames for the lateral load yielded the top displacement-base shear force, design coefficients such as overstrength factor, ductility ratio, and response modification coefficient, demanded ductility ratio for the semirigid connection,and distribution of plastic hinges. The sample structure showed a greater response modification coefficient than KBC2005, the higher modes were found to have few effects on the coefficient, and the lateral load of KBC2005 was found to be conservative. The TSD connection was estimated to secure economy and safety in the sample structure.

Since the monolithic ceramic substrate was introduced for automotive catalytic converters, the durability of the substrate has been a continuing requirement to reduce the emission gas of vehicle. The substrate can occupy a volume as small as 82 $cm^3$ and as large as 8200 $cm^3$ to provide the required substrate for catalytic activity. The long-term durability varies with the size of the substrate from manufacture's point of view. Therefore This study presents that the response surface model using central composite design can explain size effect on the modulus of rupture in a cordierite ceramic monolithic substrate.

A displacement-based seismic design procedure was proposed for mid-to-low-rise steel moment frames. The proposed method was totally different from the current R-factor approach in that it directly uses available connection rotation capacity as a primary design variable. To this end, the relationship between available connection rotation capacity and seismic response modification (R factor) was established first; this relationship has been a missing link in current ductility-based design practice. A step-by-step displacement-based iterative design procedure was then proposed and verified using inelastic dynamic analysis.
