The gimbal expansion joint for the pipe line of a liquid rocket engine undergoes high pressure and cyclic rotational displacement loadings. In present study, the moment analyses and tests of the internal-type gimbal expansion joint for the engine were performed. The moment components due to spring stiffness, friction and lateral force were obtained using a analytic method and their sums at low and high pressures were compared with the test results. Also, applying a $MoS_2$ dry film lubricant to the pin of a external hinge expansion joint, it is tested that the galling of the pin was removed and the friction coefficient was decreased for low pressures.

This paper is the study on the safe design of joint controling the pressure and temperature by connecting between pipes laying with the flexible joint. This study aims at decreasing the excessive pressure applied in the pipe and preventing the accident occurrence in order to solve the pipe damage by extraction and contraction due to the pressure of open air and transport gas. The flow properties of each model are investigated through the simulation analysis by applying three kinds of the flexible joints. When transport gas passes the flexible joint, the flow characteristics of heat, pressure and velocity at pipe laying are analyzed. It is thought to be contributed to the safe design due to the shape of the flexible joint by using the result of this study. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at design and show the esthetic sense.

'The facilities standards of water supply' issued by the Ministry of Environment in 2004 indicates that expansion joints cannot be used in welding water supply steel pipes. However, their reason is not clear and it is difficult to confirm the stability of the steel pipe for a water supply pipeline. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not an expansion joint is necessary to improve the stability of water supply in steel pipe through a displacement analysis of the pipework. The test results are as follows. Firstly, it was found that expansion and contraction of the water supply steel pipe (D 2,400 mm) occur repeatedly in 4 cycles per year, and the maximum expansion and contraction amount of the pipe is 13.03 mm in 1.24 km pipelines. Secondly, the thermal stress caused by expansion and contraction of the steel pipe is $13.7{\sim}36.1kgf/cm^2$ according to the burial depth (0~4 m). The main comparison factors to determine the stability of the steel pipe (STWW 400) were the allowable tensile strength and the fatigue limit, which were computed to be $4,100kgf/cm^2$ and $1,840kgf/cm^2$, respectively. Finally, the thermal stress of the steel pipe is very small compared to the allowable tensile stress and fatigue stress. Therefore, thermal stress does not affect the stability of the steel pipe, although the expansion and contraction of the steel pipe occurs by temperature changes. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that expansion joints are not required in water supply steel pipelines.

Studies have been made on performance evaluation of expansion joint systems for an ordinary highway or road bridge. However little study has been made for runway connection bridges at airports. A study on performance evaluated from computer code analysis and shrinkage, extension, and compression repetition tests based on KS F 4425 is conducted to a newly developed expansion joint system which has been installed in a runway connection bridge at Incheon Airport Extension 2 Construction Site. The MIDAS computer code is used to analyze the performance before the manufacture of the mock-up of expansion joint system on the basis of design requirements. Tests based on the KS F 4425 of 2001 year-version are conducted for the mock-up. Domestic codes and standards to validate the performance of the expansion joint system in a connection bridge have been developed for a vehicle. However the expansion joint system tested in this study is installed in a runway connection bridge for an aircraft. Conservatively the heaviest one among airplanes departing and landing at Incheon Airport is assumed level-F $468.4kN/m^2$ and adopted for the tests and analyses in this study. KS F 4425 method is selected for the shrinkage, extension, and compression repetition tests. No remarkable problem was observed for the 2,500-cycle shrinkage and extension and two million-cycle repeatition load tests. The results of this study are expected to contribute to establishment of code and standard for the performance validation of an expansion joint system installed in a runway connection bridge for an aircraft by providing performance test results and computer analysis results based on finite element methods.

The expansion joints are installed for connecting the bridge segments. The ambient noise expansion joints are required in domestic market because of regulation on the noise neighboring traffic roads established by ministry of environment. Therefore, field tests for measuring environment noise depending on the types of the expansion joints are carried out in order to examine the effect of expansion joints into the environments. Related geometrical analysis has been performed.

Conventional methods for reducing vibration in engineering designs may be undesirable in conditions where size or weight must be minimized, or where complex vibration spectra exist. Fe-Mn Damping alloy with a combination of high damping capacity and good mechanical properties can provide attractive technical and economical solutions to problems involving seismic, shock and vibration isolation. We have studied the noise and vibration characteristic of Dampalloy and checked Dampalloy reduced noise about 3.9dB and vibration about 15.9 times as compared conventional material through laboratory research. With this result, we obtained a good possibility of material substitution about the bridge expansion joint

This paper is especially concerned with the weldment between support beam and square bar that plays important roles in control box of Expansion Joint as a brdige structure. Fatigue strength ({TEX}$$\sigma$_{ult}${/TEX}) of the weldment is dependent on notch factor ({TEX}$K_{f}${/TEX}) become important factors to predict fatigue life. The fatigue notch sensitivity (η) for metals can be divided into two types ; high and low notch sensitivity. In this work, the Expansion Joint weldment was found to have low notch sensitivity. The maximum strain distribution during static loading is similar to the FEM analysis. Fatigue test of real structure was performed up to {TEX}$10^{6}${/TEX} cycles to be compared with predicted endurance limit.

본 연구에서는 입체/복합도로용 내진신축이음장치를 개발하고 복층구조의 입체/복합도로 JC를 설계하였다. 입체/복합도로용 내진 신축이음장치는 공중관통형 일체구조의 입체/복합도로에서 두 교량을 각각 지지하는 교각과 건물이 서로 다른 방향으로 거동할 때 거동 방향에 상관없이 교량을 주행 중인 차량이 안전하게 교량 상판을 통과할 수 있어 지진 등의 대형사고에 의한 피해를 최소화할 수 있다. 또한 지하형 복층구조의 입체/복합도로는 서로 직교하는 지하도로에 입체교차로를 형성하여 효율적인 지하 도로망을 구축할 수 있으며 지하도로를 건축물 지하주차장과 연결로를 통해 직접 연계함으로써 집객 효과가 매우 높다.
