When the concrete is placed, the water, needed for hydration of the cement, is under 30% of W/C including bound and gel water. However, as minimum water content cause bad workability, the W/C have to be higher. Therefore, fresh concrete produce 10${\sim}$20% extra water. As those water remain entrapped air in the concrete, life of the structure is reduced because of the degradation caused by entrapped air. For that reason, if extra water is eliminated, it will be great to improve the durability of the structures. Therefore, this study was performed to verity the fundamental properties through the experiment on the dewatering system using the euro form for eliminating extra water. When the dewatering form was applicated, the compressive strength was increased by 16% than those of normal form. However, the increasing rate of compressive strength got lower as the height is higher. In terms of ultrasonic pulse speed and surface roughness, the dewatering form showed better results than the normal one.

Double-deck tunnels beneath the groundwater table have relatively large volume and commonly constructed as watertight tunnels. In this case, it requires to secure stability of the tunnels for buoyant force. Generally the contact force between lining and ground is sufficient to resist the buoyant force. However in the long-term the contact force could be reduced because of structural deterioration. In this study the effect of long-term buoyant force acting on the double-deck tunnel is investigated. The results has shown that the buoyant force has increased invert deformation and stress. It is indicated that the contact resilience between lining and ground needs to be kept during tunnel operation.

In this research, a controller design method based on optimization is proposed that can satisfy constraints on maximum responses of building structures subject to around excitation modeled by partially stochastic process. The class of controllers to be optimized is restricted to LQR. Weighting matrix on controlled outputs is used as design variable. Objective function, constraint functions and their gradients are computed by the parameterization of control gain with Riccati matrix. Full state feedback controllers designed by proposed optimization method satisfy various design objectives and their necessary maximum control forces are computed for the production of actuator. LQG controllers composed of Kalman filter and LQR designed by proposed method perform well with little deterioration. So it is possible to design output feedback controllers satisfying constraints on various maximum responses of structures.

It is a tedious and excessive time consuming process to model the local area of crack tip part of structures in calculation of stress intensity factors by FEM. So, in this paper, the hybrid method of FEM and BEM approach was formulated to overcome this type of problems. The multi-domained BEM was adopted to simplify the modelling process of complex geometry and singularity characteristics of crack tip part and the ordinary FEM modelling was used in the rest part. The example calculations shows very good results compared with analytic solutions and other numerical method.

The finite element and boundary element methods of underground analysis are both well established numerical techniques for determination of stress and displacement distributions at underground excavation. The finite element method presents antithetical advantages and limitations. Complex constitutive behaviour may be modelled, at the expense of numerical efficiency and, for infinite domain, inadequate representation of remote bounadry conditions. The inherent advantages of the boundary element method are the ease with which infinite domain problems may be analysed, and the efficiency of analysis typically associated with a boundary value solution procedure. Application of the method is limited by the requirements linear constitutive behaviour for the medium. A combined of the finite element and boundary element methods of underground analysis is shown to preserve the advantages of each procedure, and, eliminates their individual disadvantages. Procedures employed in this papers described combined FEBEM algorithm. Solutions of underground excavation verifying the performance of combined FEBEM code are compared with theoretical solution, boundary element solution and finite element solution.

일반적인 박막 성장용 CVD는 막 성장 시간이 짧게는 수분에서 수시간 정도 소요하기 때문에 장비에 문제가 발생 할 시 조치를 취하고 다음 현상을 개선하기에 용이 하였다. 그리고 대분분의 장비가 국산화되어 있을 만큼 많은 경험치가 축척되어 있다. 그러나 2, 4 족 화합물 성장용 CVD는 고아학 렌즈 생산용 장비로 국내에서는 아직 생소하고 공정 경험이 없는 새로운 장비이다. 2,4 족 화합물의 특징은 다음과 같다. 2,4 족 화합물은 M, N 이라는 두가 물질이 결합하여 형성한다. 2,4 족 화합물은 높은 융점과 낮은 증기압을 갖니다. 이런 물질들은 고온에서 아래와 같이 평형적으로 반응한다. $$nMN_{(s)}=nM_{(g)}+Nn_{(g)}$$ 화합물인 $MN_{(g)}$의 상태로 존재할 수 있으나 일바적으로 n=2인 4족 원소의 2원자 분자로된 기체가 지배적이다. 증기상을 이용한 성장 공정에서는 구성 원자나 분자를 만들어내는 단계, 이들을 공급원에서 기판까지 수송하는 단계, 기판 위에 흡착하는 단계, 핵의 생성과 단결정을 생성하는 단계, 필요치 않는 구성물을 제거하는 단계를 거쳐 공정이 진행 된다. 각 공정은 성장 물질에 충분한 자유도를 주어야하고 자유도를 주기 위해서는 많은 열에너지가 공급 되어야 한다. 따라서 기존의 박막 성장 공정 보다 성장 속도가 느리고 증착하는 양보다는 버리는 양이 많으며 버려지는 성장물질들은 급격한 온도 변화가 생기는 곳에서 급격히 증착하기 시작한다. 본 성장 공정이 진행되는 압력은 30 torr 부근이며 공정 온도는 $1000^{\circ}C$ 부근이다. 30 torr 영역에서는 열전달이 대기압과 같은 속도로 진행되기 때문에 지속적으로 온도에의해 손상을 받는 부위가 있을 수 있다. 높은 공정 온도와 높은 공정 압력은 내부 구조물로 발생된 열을 빠르게 장비 표면으로 수송하게 되고 그 결과 장비의 연결 부분에 장착된 오링에 손상을 주게 된다. 오링 손상을 방지 하기위해 냉각수 라인을 형성하여 오링을 보호하게 되면 열역학적 기울기가 급격히 발생하는 부분이므로 CVD의 반응 부산물들이 빠른 시간동안 증착하게 되고 막히는 현상이 발생하게 된다. 목표한 두게까지 박막을 성장시키기 위해서는 장시간 공정이 필수이며 장시간 공정을 안정적으로 가져가지 위해서는 배기 라인의 막힘 현상을 해결하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 막힘 현상의 진행을 시간에 따라 해석하였으며 장시간 공정을 진행하기위해 필요한 요소와 기구적으로 조치가 가능한 방법에 대해 작성하였다.

Rock and discontinuities are main factors consisting of a rock mass and the physical properties of each factor have direct effects on the mechanical stability of artificial structures in the rock mass. Because physical properties of the rock and discontinuities change a lot according to the size of test materials, a close attention is needed when the physical properties, obtained from laboratory tests, are used for the design of field structures. In this study, change of physical properties of intact materials due to the change of their size are studied. Six kinds of artificial materials including crystal, instead of an intact rock, are adopted for the study to guarantee the homogeneity of specimen materials even with relatively large size. Uniaxial strength and Young's modulus of each artificial material are checked out for a size effect and compared with the predicted values by Buckingham's theorem - dimensional analysis. A numerical analysis using PFC (Particle Flow Code) is also applied and primary factors influencing on the size effect are investigated.

A sophisticated reliability analysis method is proposed to evaluate the reliability of real nonlinear complicated dynamic structural systems excited by short duration dynamic loadings like earthquake motions by intelligently integrating the response surface method, the finite element method, the first-order reliability method, and the iterative linear interpolation scheme. The method explicitly considers all major sources of nonlinearity and uncertainty in the load and resistance-related random variables. The unique feature of the technique is that the seismic loading is applied in the time domain, providing an alternative to the classical random vibration approach. The four-parameter Richard model is used to represent the flexibility of connections of real steel frames. Uncertainties in the Richard parameters are also incorporated in the algorithm. The laterally flexible steel frame is then reinforced with reinforced concrete shear walls. The stiffness degradation of shear walls after cracking is also considered. The applicability of the method to estimate the reliability of real structures is demonstrated by considering three examples; a laterally flexible steel frame with fully restrained connections, the same steel frame with partially restrained connections with different rigidities, and a steel frame reinforced with concrete shear walls.

This study was conducted to determine the antiseptic effect of stabilized chlorine dioxide (S-$ClO_2$) on muscle tissue of rats. Skeletal muscle of 8-week old Sprague-Dawley rats was used. Light and transmission electron microscopic findings were observed in the control group, which was not treated with stabilized chlorine dioxide, and in the experimental group, which was treated with a stabilized chlorine dioxide powder in aqueous solution. According to the LM and TEM observations, the day 1 control group showed the initiation of endomysium collapse resulting in an unclear boundary of muscle fibers, and partial collapse of the mitochondrial membranes. All endomysium had collapsed, and bacteria were observed among muscle fibers in the day 2 and later groups. Shapes of muscles were not distinguishable in day 3 or later groups. In contrast, the day 1 and 3 experimental groups revealed detailed structure of typical muscles, but partial collapse of the mitochondrial membranes was observed in the day 3 and later groups. Subsequently, connective tissues collapsed and structures in the shape of concentric circles were observed. In summary, the day 1 control group showed the initial collapse of tissues, and shapes were not distinguishable in the day 3 and later groups because most of the tissues had collapsed. In contrast, the day 3 experimental group showed partial collapse, but the overall shapes of muscles were maintained as time went on, confirming the antiseptic effect of stabilized chlorine dioxide on muscles.

This paper presents a hybrid control strategy for seismic protection of a benchmark cable-stayed bridge, which is provided as a testbed structure for the development of strategies for the control of cable-stayed bridges. This benchmark problem considers the cable-stayed bridge that is scheduled for completion in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, USA in 2003. Seismic considerations were strongly considered in the design of this bridge due to the location of the bridge in the New Madrid seismic zone and its critical role as a principal crossing of the Mississippi river. Based on detailed drawings of this cable-stayed bridge, a three-dimensional linearlized evaluation model has been developed to represent the complex behavior of the bridge. A set of eighteen evaluation criteria has been developed to evaluate the capabilities of each control strategy. In this study, a hybrid control system is composed of a passive control system to reduce the earthquake-induced forces in the structure and an active control system to further reduce the bridge responses, especially deck displacements. Conventional base isolation devices such as lead rubber bearings are used for the passive control design and Bouc-Wen model is used to simulate the nonlinear behavior of these devices For the active control design, ideal hydraulic actuators are used and on $H_2$/LQG control algorithm is adopted. Numerical simulation results show that the performance of the proposed hybrid control strategy is quite effective compared to that of the passive control strategy and slightly better than that of the active control strategy. The hybrid control method is also more reliable than the fully active control method due to the passive control part. Therefore, the proposed hybrid control strategy can effectively be used to seismically excited cable-stayed bridges.
