The quality for the domestic pavement is evaluated based on flexural strength at the age of 28 days in accordance with KS regulation. Most specimens of the flexural tensile strength used currently are relatively large ones with a dimension of $150{\times}150{\times}550mm$. Accordingly, it is difficult to treat the specimens, and the utilization of a curing tank is low. In this paper, the study tried to resolve the problem by specimen size specified in the code. For this purpose, a flexural strength test was conducted according to the log scale within the specimen size specified by the KS. And, based on the results of this experiment, a comparative analysis was conducted using the prediction formula of Size Effect Law (SEL) proposed by Bazant to examine the correlation between specimen sizes, so as to use the result as basic data for the reduction of the specimen size in the quality evaluation of concrete pavement.

Size-effect correction factors of the flexural test specimens, which had controled cement concrete pavement quality, were investigated and derived to be easily used in field. We couldn't find the size-effects in this size range (10, 12, 15cm) of specimens, which were made of 32mm crushed aggregates, and the theoretical verification was presented by Bazant's equations. Finally, non-dimensional chart for size-effect correction was proposed, covering the relationship between compressive strengths and w/c ratios.

The current study prepared 9 laboratorial concrete mixes and 3 ready-mixed concrete batches to examine the size and shape effects in compression failure of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWC). The concrete mixes were classified into three groups: normal-weight, all-lightweight and sand-lightweight concrete groups. For each concrete mix, the aspect ratio of circular or square specimens was 1.0 and 2.0. The lateral dimension of specimens varied between 50 and 150 mm for each laboratorial concrete mix, whereas it ranged from 50 to 400 mm with an incremental variation of 50 mm for each ready-mixed concrete batch. Test observations revealed that the crack propagation and width of the localized failure zone developed in lightweight concrete specimens were considerably different than those of normal-weight concrete (NWC). In LWC specimens, the cracks mainly passed through the coarse aggregate particles and the crack distribution performance was very poor. As a result, a stronger size effect was developed in LWC than in NWC. Especially, this trend was more notable in specimens with aspect ratio of 2.0 than in specimens with that of 1.0. The prediction model derived by Kim et al. overestimated the size effect of LWC when lateral dimension of specimen is above 150 mm. On the other hand, the modification factors specified in ASTM and CEB-FIP provisions, which are used to compensate for the shape effect of specimen on compressive strength, were still conservative in LWC.

This study addresses analysis on reactions which are induced in restraint system for airframe full-scale static structural test. This system restraints 6 degrees of freedom of a test article. It is valuable to study evaluating test error through analysis on the reactions which include all errors in a test. It is required to calculate fistly right reactions for the evaluation. This study focuses on calculation of the right reactions. The reaction is represented by sum of nominal reaction(Rn) and testing error reactions(Rce, Rerr) and is analyzed by two steps (inital vs relative reaction) in this study. It would evaluate intrinsic error at 0%DLL and error induced from applying test load, separately. Based on analysis using test data of a full-scale static test(canard type aircraft), resultant force of Rces and Rce_rs are distributed within 82.8N while resultant force of Rerr_rs shows to increase upto max. 808N as load level increment. Such well distribution of the Rce within the small range is caused from TMF values characteristics which are well distributed within -30N~40N. Additionally, it is shown through qualitative analysis on three components(X0, Y0, Z0) of the relative reaction(Rerr_r) that the reactions must be calculated with considering deformation of test article to calculate correctly reactions. This study shows also that equations characterizing deformation of components of test article are required to calculate the correct reactions, the equations must include information which will be used to calculate movement of all loading points.

철근콘크리트 유공보에 있어서 기존 유공보의 연구는 유공위치를 보춤의 중앙에 위치하여 연구하였으나 철근코크리트 보의 역학적 특성활용과 시공상의 편의성을 위해 사각형 유공의 위치를 보춤 하단에 설치하여 개방형 유공보로 변형하였다. 본 연구에서는 사각형 유공보에 대한 유공크기의 세로길이를 보춤의 0.3배로 하고 가로길이를 세로길의의 1~3배로 변화시켜 보강 및 무보강 상태의 사각형 유공보와 이의 사각형 유공하부 콘크리트를 제외시킨 개방형 유공보에 있어서 총 10개의 시험체를 대상으로 하는 실험을 실시하여 시험체의 최대내력, 유공주위에서의 전단균열과 시험체의 휨인장균열, 주요위치의 변위조사, 주근 및 유공주위의 콘크리트와 보강철근의 변형도조사, 시험체의균열을 조사하여 상호변화를 비교.분석하였다. 이 연구결과로부터 개방형유공보의 유공주위 응력변형상태, 파괴메카니즘, 적절한 개방형 유공크기,설계시 고려사항을 제시하여 차후의 개방형 유공보의 계속적인 연구에 기여하고자 한다.

Some methods of calculation of test load value from design load data were investigated which will be applied at strap installed full-scale airframe of composite aircraft. These methods were applied to left wing of KC-100 composite aircraft and the calculated test load values were compared with each others. Generally since test load values are differently calculated according to each aircraft type and position of straps, all calculation methods mentioned at this study need to be applied and compared to each aircraft. Finally the most appropriate method needs to be selected.

A large number of small particles may surround large gravels which are non-contact and dispersed within the ground. The strength of such soil may be influenced by the mechanical properties of a few coarse gravels. A specimen or gravel size can impact the shear characteristics of sand with dispersed gravels. In this study, the size of gravel and specimen varies and its effect on shear characteristics of a granular soil was evaluated. Five sizes of gravels with 7, 12, 15, 18, and 22 mm were used repeatedly and inserted in the middle of each compacted layer. A specimen consists of five or ten equal layers depending on gravel size, which is 5 cm or 10 cm in diameter and 10 cm or 20 cm in height. An embedded gravel ratio by weight is 3% and constant for all cases with gravel. After consolidation, a series of undrained triaxial compression tests under three confining pressures was performed on sand with dispersed gravels. The maximum deviator stress of a specimen with 10 cm in diameter was at average 30% higher than that with 5 cm in diameter and increased up to 90% for a specimen with gravel. When a gravel size of 7 and 12 mm used, the maximum deviator stress of a specimen with 10 cm in diameter was higher than that of one without gravel, whereas the maximum deviator stress of a specimen with 5 cm was higher or lower than that without gravel. The gravel size and specimen diameter influenced the undrained behavior of sand. The maximum deviator stress of a specimen with gravel either increased or decreased compared to that without gravel, depending on the ratio of gravel size to specimen diameter, 1/5.

The biaxial tensile strength of concretes was measured by the Biaxial Flexure Test(BFT) which was recently developed to measure the biaxial tensile strength of concretes. From the test result, The circular specimen is generally fractured after 1${\sim}$3 of the initial crack were formed on the top of specimen. The direction and number of the initial crack was completely arbitrary. As the specimen was larger, the number of the crack increased. And, the strengths of the different radii and thickness of specimens were calculated by the commercial finite element program to study the size effect of the biaxial tensile strength like the uniaxial tensile strength. The parameters such as radii to the support and to the load point, were studied using the program. The results of the FE analysis were entirely consistent with the predictive solution, when b/a>0.4, and the thickness of the specimens were increased. On the other hands, those with lesser free length showed good results.
