In this study, a new design equation was presented for square CFTs with high-strength concrete subjected to axial compression and bending. In a previous study, a design equation for square CFTs with normal strength concrete was proposed. A parametric study by fiber analysis was performed taking the width-to-thickness ratio (b/t) and the relative concrete strength to the yield strength of the steel tube (fck/Fy) as the main parameters of this study to determine the maximum moment and the axial load at the maximum moment. A new constitutive model for concrete was adopted for fiber analysis in order to take into account the effect of high-strength concrete. The results of the parametric study were embedded into the method which was presented in the previous study to formulate a new design equation that can be easily used for estimating the strength of square CFTs with high-strength concrete.

Liquefaction refers to a phenomenon in which excessive pore water pressure occurs when a dynamic load such as an earthquake rapidly acts on a loose sandy soil saturated with soil, and the ground loses effective stress and becomes liquefied. The indoor repeated test for liquefaction evaluation can be confirmed through the repeated triaxial compression test and the repeated shear test. In this regard, this study tried to confirm the liquefaction resistance strength according to the relative density and particle size distribution of sand using the repeated triaxial compression test. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the liquefaction resistance strength increased as the relative density increased regardless of the soil classification, and the liquefaction resistance strength according to the particle size distribution of the sand was confirmed that the liquefaction resistance strength of the SP sample close to SW was significantly higher. In addition, as a result of analyzing 30% of fine powder compared to 0% of fine powder, as the relative density increased to 40~70%, the liquefaction resistance strength decreased by 5~20%, and the domestic weathered soil ground had a fine liquefaction resistance strength compared to Jumunjin standard sand. When the minute was 10%, it was measured to be 30% or more, and when the fine particle was 30%, it was measured to be less than 50%.

The hardness of corrugated packaging box decreased during storage period because of high humidity. Therefore, the strength-decreasing factor of corrugated packaging box had to be investigated to determine the compression strength of the corrugated packaging box. This study was conducted to define the characteristics of moisture absorption as well as compression strength of corrugated fiberboard. (1) The moisture content of the corrugated fiberboard was rarely influenced by the kinds of raw materials and water repellent. However, the moisture adsorption of the corrugated fiberboard was shown to be clearly affected by air temperature changes. (2) The moisture content of the corrugated fiberboard was significantly affected by relative humidity. The moisture adsorption of corrugated fiberboard was also greatly influenced by composition of raw materials rather than water repellent. The results indicated that the improvement of raw materials was more effective than the increase of water repellent of corrugated fiberboard to reduce the moisture adsorption of the corrugated fiberboard. (3) The vertical compression strength was significantly decreased with increasing relative humidity. The reduction rate of vertical compression strength was not charged with the increase of relative humidity, which was regardless of kinds of corrugated fiberboard. (4) For improving the strength of the corrugated packaging box, new technique should be found to develop better quality of raw materials. Moreover, the physical construction of corrugated packaging box should be clearly understood because the corrugated packaging box for the agricultural products was usually used for the circumstances of high humidity and low air temperature

The tensile properties and color of fish meal film under various processing conditions were measured to obtain basic data for biodegradable Alaska Pollack meal protein isolate (APMPI) film. The tensile strength and the elongation of APMPI film were increased with casting volume of APMPI solution but those of APMPI film were weakened with the addition of glycerol amount as well as reduction of pH values. In case of adding various plasticizer, the tensile strength of film was increased in order as follows: sorbitol, polyethylene glycol and glycerol. The elongation was increased in order of polyethylene glycol, sorbitol and glycerol. The tensile strength of film increased with increment of APMPI concentration, but the elongation of film was not affected by APMPI concentration. The tensile strength of APMPI film was decreased with the increment of relative humidity but its elongation was increased with the increment of relative humidity, Not only lightness and yellowness of film added with sorbitol but also redness and total different color of film added with polyethylene glycol showed the highest value in Hunter color system.

When the material strength and ductility of shear studs is sufficient to carry the interface shear force, the composite beam can behave safely without premature structural failure in the interface and without ultimate moment reduction. In this study, the influence of the deformation capacity of shear studs embedded in high-strength concrete on structural behavior and design condition of composite beam is analyzed using FEM. In the analysis, load type, degree of shear connection and arrangement of studs are considered as analysis parameters. According to analysis results, in the case of partial interaction,the deformation capacity of studs embedded in high-strength concrete should be considered together with material strength. Especially in the case of uniform arrangement of studs and uniformly distributed load, a minimum available degree of shear connection is restricted by the deformation capacity of studs. In this case,shear studs should be arranged in consideration of the distribution of shear force at the composite section.

Analysis via classical soil mechanics theory is either ineffective or inappropriate for fully describing stress distribution or failure conditions in cold regions, since mechanical properties of soils in cold regions are different from those reported in the classical soil mechanics theory. Therefore, collecting and analyzing technical data, and systematic and specialized research for cold regions are required for design and construction of the structure in cold regions. Freezing and thawing repeat in active layer of permafrost region, and a loading condition affecting the structure changes. Therefore, the reliable analysis of mechanical properties of frozen soils according to various conditions is prerequisite for design and construction of the structure in cold regions, since mechanical properties of frozen soils are sensitive to temperature condition, water content, grain size, relative density, and loading rate. In this research, the direct shear apparatus which operates at 30 degrees below zero and large-scaled low temperature chamber are used for evaluating shear strength characteristics of frozen soils. Weathered granite soil is used to analyzed the shear strength characteristics with varying freezing temperature condition, vertical confining pressure, relative density, and water content. This research shows that the shear strength of weathered granite soil is sensitively affected by various conditions such as freezing temperature conditions, normal stresses, relative densities, and water contents.

금속 재료 중 철강은 기계적 특성이 우수하고 대량생산이 가능하여 선박, 건축, 자동차 등 다양한 분야에 기초재료로써 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 스테인리스강 등과 같은 일부 특수한 용도의 강을 제외하고는 부식환경에 취약한 특성을 가지기 때문에 내식성을 향상을 위한 표면처리에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 가장 일반적으로 습식법(wet process)을 통해 표면상에 아연(Zn)을 도금해 사용하며, 아연이 자체적으로 포함한 희생양극(sacrificial anode) 및 차폐(barrier) 효과가 철강의 부식을 방지하게 된다. 하지만 산업의 고도화에 따라 더욱 가혹해진 노출환경으로 인해 고내식 강재에 대한 수요가 점차 증가하고 있으며, 아연코팅 층의 두께를 증가하여 내식성을 확보하는 방안은 미래 환경 및 자원적인 측면에서 근본적인 해결책으로 제시하기 어려움이 있다. 한편, 건식 프로세스(wet process)로 대별되는 PVD(physical vacuum deposition)에 의해 내식성을 향상시키고자 하는 연구들이 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 이것은 표면에 고순도 양질의 금속 막을 형성시킴으로써 외부환경과의 반응을 효과적으로 제어가 가능하며, 형성된 막은 그 물질의 고유 특성뿐만 아니라 제작 조건에 따른 표면의 기하학적 혹은 결정학적 구조에 의해 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 실용금속 중 이온화 경향이 가장 크고 산소와 반응하여 투과성이 작은 산화 피막 형성이 유리한 마그네슘(Mg)을 활용해 표면의 전기화학적 특성을 향상시켰다. 또한 금속 증착 중 진공도조절을 위해 도입되는 불활성 가스로 아르곤(Ar) 및 질소($N_2$)를 사용하여 표면에 형성한 막의 모폴로지 및 결정배향성이 내식성에 미치는 상관관계를 해석하고자 하였다. 실험방법으로 PVD법 중 비교적 간편하고 기초적인 지침을 제시하기 적합할 것으로 고려된 진공증착(vacuum evaporation)법을 이용해 아르곤 및 질소 분위기에서 진공도를 조절하며 용융아연도금상 Mg막을 형성하였다. 제작조건별 막의 기초 특성을 분석하기위해 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용하였고, 결정배향성(crystal orientation) 분석을 위해 면간격(d-value)과 상대강도(relative intensity)를 확인하였다. 또한 내식성 평가로 염수분무(salt sprat test) 및 양극분극(anode polarization)을 각각 실시하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, Ar 및 $N_2$ 모두에서 가스압이 증가할수록 코팅층의 증착량은 적어지고 입상정(granular structure)의 모폴로지 형성 및 면간격과 상대강도가 증가하는 것이 확인되었다. 또한 쳄버 내 동일 진공도에서, $N_2$ 도입 시 Mg막은 더욱 치밀하고 미세한 입상정의 모폴로지로 형성되며 면간격과 상대강도는 더욱 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 내식성 평가에서 저진공 $N_2$ 조건에서 형성시킨 막이 가장 우수한 내식성이 나타났는데, 이는 상대적으로 불안정하고 반응하기 유리한 입계면적을 많이 포함한 입상정 모폴로지 및 표면에너지가 높은면의 면점유율 증가로 인해 외부환경과의 신속한 반응은 물론 안정적인 피막형성이 용이하였기 때문일 것으로 사료된다. 이상으로 Ar 및 $N_2$ 가스압 조건에 따른 고내식 Mg 막의 유효성을 확인하였고 향후 내식성을 향상시키는 방법으로 응용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

In In this study, we measured the relative density and the compressive strength in order to select the appropriate W/B for the ultra-high strength concrete development. If W/B is lowered than the W/B of highest relative density, it was confirmed that the strength is lowered. However, if water is increased than the W/B, the relative density is decreased compressive strength was similar. The selection of the W/B of the lower than the highest relative density is not appropriate. Appropriate W/B is selected to be more than the maximum relative density of W/B. This was confirmed for TG-DTA.

In this paper, the compressive strength, pore characteristics, and chloride diffusion coefficient were measured at 28 days of age in order to examine the influence of curing conditions for the chloride diffusion and pores in concrete cured under extreme condition. According to the test results, the compressive strength was improved as the relative humidity increased. Additionally, higher compressive strength was observed when the specimens were cured at 35℃. However, the compressive strength of specimens cured at 45℃ was decreased. Meanwhile, the chloride diffusion coefficient decreased with an increase in curing temperature and relative humidity, indicating a difference compared to the trend observed for compressive strength. On the other hand, the excellent correlation showed between compressive strength and chloride diffusion coefficient, porosity and chloride diffusion coefficient when the concrete cured under water. However, when the concrete cured under extreme condition, this correlation was significantly reduced compared to the water curing case. In contrast, it has been determined that there is no significant correlation between the average pore size and chloride diffusion coefficient, regardless of the curing conditions.

This paper explores major factors that drive relationship quality and strength in business-to-business transactions. Three major factors, including offering characteristics, managers' interpersonal factors (similarity, expertise), and relational factors (relationship length, cooperation, and dependence), were proposed to affect relationship quality, and indirectly affect relationship strength. In addition, both economic/instrumental dimension (offering characteristics) and affective, relational dimensions (trust and commitment) are also expected to influence relationship strength. In the empirical study which used the textile-dyeing company managers' ratings of local exporters, structural equation modeling presented a well-fit evidence that relationship quality variables and strength are influenced by their proposed antecedents. Specifically, it was found that all characteristics (except relationship length) have direct effect on their relationship quality with local exporters, and indirectly impact on relationship strength which was measured along dimensions of intention to continue the business relationship in the future and the current share of business given to a local exporter. Together with the minor influence that instrumental dimension (offering characteristics) has on relationship strength, this study suggests that the willingness to remain in business relationship or current proportion of business shared is influenced more by affective assessment like relationship quality than by calculative motivation.
