In this paper, a high gain microstrip antenna with rectangular cavity backed is designed. A single microstrip patch is basically a low gain radiator As a ga in enhancement method, superstrate loading techniques are applied to the $2\times2$ microstrip array antenna with cavity backed. In antenna design, although the broadside gain increases as the cavity is enlarged, a cavity size of $3\times3$ wavelength is sufficient. The distance between the radiating elements is chosen as 1.5 free-space wavelength. The antenna radiation characteristics are calculated by IE3D software and compared with the experimental results. Experimental results show that the maximum gain is 18.6dBi at the frequency of 9.16GHz, which is good agreement with the calculations.

This paper proposes a robust digital speed regulator for a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor(SPMSM). The proposed speed controller uses a simple digital load disturbance resistance scheme which does not require a load torque observer, so it can be easily and simply implemented without degrading the control performance. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm, experimental results as well as simulation results are shown under motor parameter variations using a prototype SPMSM driving system. Finally, it was confirmed that the proposed method can precisely regulate the speed of the SPMSM.

Recently, an improved capacity for RC bridges is required by their deterioration or necessary to carry traffic increase. Strengthening is known as a better way to improve capacity of bridges than reconstructing in terms of economy. The surface bonded method, which is normally used with FRP material, has some advantages related to conveninent application and time-save among other strengthening methods. FRP material is light and has high tensile strength compared to steel. Therefore, this paper presents how structural capacity strengthed with CFRP sheet and Glass fiber-Steel Plate (GSP) is improved.

To evaluate wave reflection and transmission from buoyant flap-typed storm surge barriers, hydraulic experiments were performed by using regular and irregular wave conditions. Buoyant flap-typed storm surge barriers consist of buoyant main body connected with foundation structure in the seabed by hinge. The characteristics of wave reflection, transmission and dynamic response of the structure were investigated for 36 regular and 4 irregular wave conditions. It was also evaluated the usage of plain plate attached on the buoyant main body as one of alternatives to control wave reflection and transmission. From the hydraulic experiments, it was found that the case of plain plate attached on the offshore side is very effective to improve the wave transmission as well as reflection. But, the effect of the case on the harbor side might be negligible.

Although researches on the beams strengthened with Fiber reinforced Polymers (FRPs) have recently been conducted around the world, there are few researches on the beams with FRPs under a sustained load. This paper presents the behavior of the beams with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) under a sustained load during 300 days. Strains of steel and FRP reinforcement were measured in order to investigate the behavior of the beams. Additionally, Adjusted Effective Modulus Method (AEMM) and Ghali and Farve's method were used to predict increase in the stress and strain caused by creep and shrinkage. Through the experiment, it was found that the beam with CFRP is more effective than the beam with GFRP in terms of flexural strengthening. Compared with analytical results, it was indicated that strains of tension steels were overestimated, whereas strains of compression steels were underestimated.

Researches on strengthening and rehabilitation methods are being widely conducted due to the deterioration of existing concrete structures. Use of externally bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) strips for the rehabilitation is a cost-effective and time-saving method. Generally, the CFRP layout for the shear strengthening was a uni-directional layout. Many researches have focused on the variables of the uni-directional CFRP layout such as the amount of material, angle, and spacing. Pilot tests indicated that the effective confinement of the concrete member can be provided with the bi-directional CFRP layout than the uni-directional layout. Therefore, the test was carried out after the uni- and bi-directional strengthening work using the same amount of CFRP material. CFRP anchors were installed to prevent unexpected premature CFRP delamination failure before reaching CFRP fracture strain. The effectiveness of the CFRP anchor and bi-directional CFRP layout for shear strengthening was verified based on the principal tensile strain contours.

Recently, FRB is being used more as reinforcement of RC beam thanks to its material advantages in construction industry. The external attachment reinforcement of FRP is a construction method with advantages such as high strength, stiffness, excellent durability and construction practicability, despite of its weight. However, the reinforcement has a disadvantage to cause damage on permanent structure as its structure is water-tight by low water permeability reinforcement, preventing water from draining outside. The study attempted flexural failure test for GP of which material properties are equally same as the existing FRP and that with permeability, shows good binding with the concrete structure, durable performance and durability, comparably analyzing the improvement of durability and ductility according to changes of fiber contents of composite strip.

Slimfloor composite-beam systems could considerably reduce the story height of a building if the steel beam would be installed deep into the concrete floor slab. However, as the depth of the steel beam's installation is limited, it cannot cope with the various demands of building systems. To address this problem, a profiled steel beam section that can control the depth of the steel beam's and slabs' installation was developed in this study. Presented herein are the results of an experiment that was conducted focusing on the flexural behavior of the partially connected composite beams with profiled steel beams encased in composite concrete slabs. Five full-scale specimens with different slab types, with or without shear connection and reinforcement bars, were constructed and tested in this study. As a result, the shear bond stress without an additional shear connection was found to be $0.20{\sim}0.76N/mm^2$due to the inherent mechanical and chemical bond stress.

The object of this paper is to study the flexural strengthening effectiveness on the construction method of bonding of the FRP. The existing FRP flexural strengthening methods were divided into FRP sheet strengthening and FRP plate strengthening according to the FRP condition. For improving the existing construction method, this paper proposed the velcro type anchorage system for temporary bonding material, and flexural strengthening effects were tested. Test variables were bonding methods of the FRP strengthening materials, and total 4 specimens were tested. Following to the test results, it is shown that FRP-plate strengthening method using the velcro can get better workability than existing construction methods, and have excellent strengthening performance including flexural strength, stiffness, ductility and failure aspect.
