This study has been investigated the applicability of auxetic mesh for the reinforcement of structural members. Typical materials including concrete behaves with positive poisson's ratio when external force is applied. In this study, it has been theoretically verified that metallic auxetic mesh restrains as such mechanical behaviors of concrete resulting in the stiffness increase. Also, regarding the applicability to construction field, a type of auxetic mesh has been suggested and the mechanical characteristics were numerically analyzed.

The buckling length of exterior beam-columns of the first floor in moment resisting steel frames with weak beams is uncertain when plastic hinges occur at the ends of weak beams due to seismic loads. The objective of this study is to investigate the buckling strength of concrete-filled tubular beam-columns and to suggest the reduced buckling length of them to apply to the beam-column design code. The exterior beam-columns are modelized with horizontal displacement restraint springs. Their strength and reduced buckling length are evaluated by numerical analysis.

According to the available study and experimental data about the long term behavior of CFT(Concrete Filled Tube) columns, the creep and of concrete in CFT columns are smaller than those of RC columns because of the confinement effect of outer steel columns. In this study, the uncertainties associated with assumed values for concrete properties such as strength, creep coefficients, and service load have been considered and analyzed for the prediction of time-dependent column shortening of CFT column. The CFT column shortening analysis using Monte Carlo method is proposed and an of a 37 story tall building with CFT columns is studied for illustration. According to the results obtained by the probability analysis with multi parameters, the effect of variation coefficient for 3 parameters is investigated considering confidence interval.

This paper investigated measures of spalling prevention and mechanism to secure stability of subjected to a fire circumstance. The results were summarized as following. 1) There were 4 kinds of methods for spalling prevention, such as declining percentage of water content and cement water ratio, isolating from high temperature with fire proof covering, giving lateral resistance stress, and discharging vapor pressure using fibers. 2) It was confirmed that methods using fibers to a new construction and fire proof covering to a existing construction on the basis of investigation for the spalling mechanism through the existing theory of spalling and a new theory of WPB.

다이아몬드상 카본(Diamond-like Carbon, DLC) 필름은 비정질 재료로서 다이아몬드와 유사한 높은 경도, 내마모성, 화학적 안정성, 그리고 광학적 특성을 가지고 있으며, 낮은 마찰계수와 높은 탄성률 등으로 인해 많은 분야에서 응용이 연구되고 있는 재료이다. 그러나 DLC 필름이 이러한 우수한 특성이 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 수 GPa에 이르는 높은 압축 잔류 응력으로 인해 응용에 제약을 받고 있다. 이러한 압축 잔류 응력이 상당한 값에 이르게 되면 기판의 구속에서 벗어나게 되어, 기판으로부터 떨어지게 되고 굽힘을 받게 되는 delamination buckling 현상이 일어나기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 높은 잔류 응력으로 인해 자연적으로 발생하는 buckling 현상과 식각 과정을 통해 인위적으로 기판의 제한으로부터 필름을 완화시키는 freehang 방법을 이용하여 필름이 기판에 접착되는데 필요한 에너지를 평가하려고 한다. 본 실험에서는 rf-PACVD 장비를 이용하여 필름을 증착하였다. 이때 전극과 플라즈마 사이의 바이어스 음전압은 -100~700 Vb로 변화를 주었으며, 합성압력은 9mTorr로 고정하였다. 사용한 반응 가스는 메탄(CH4)이고, 아르곤(Ar)을 이용하여 모든 실험에서 동일하게 기판을 전처리 하였다. buckling 현상을 관찰하기 위해 사용된 기판은 slide glass이고, freehang을 제작하기 위해 사용된 기판은 (100) p-type Si wafer 이다. freehang 제작시 사용한 식각 용액은 KOH(5.6mol)이며 외부 요인을 제거하기 위해 7$0^{\circ}C$ 항온조를 사용하였다. Buckling 된 필름과 freehang은 광학 현미경과 전자 주사 현미경에 의해 관찰되었으며, 사인 함수 형태의 곡면을 가지고 있었다. 또한 freehang 제작시 각각의 주기와 진폭을 통해, 필름과 기판사이의 계면에너지와 buckling 되면서 새로 생성된 두 표면에너지 차이를 구할 수 있게 되고, 이를 통해 접착에너지를 평가할 수 있었다.

The year 2016 in Cambodia witnessed the collapse of Cambodian democracy. Promising results in terms of fairness the communal elections achieved were eclipsed by the dissolution of the Cambodia National Rescue Party. With press and civil society also being silenced, the ruling Cambodian People's Party expects no more challenge to its authoritarian rule. The economy continued it growth in 2017. However, serious problems embedded in its structure threaten the likelihood of sustainable development. Cambodia with solid China backing began to amp up its voice on the international stage, heading to a head-on collision with big donators including the United States.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the flexural strengthening effectiveness for the beams combined reinforced with NSM CFRP strips and EBR CFRP strips. To accomplish this objective, a total of nine concrete T beams were tested. From this study, it is found that the flexural stiffness and strength of the beams combined reinforced with NSM and EBR strips were significantly improved compared to the beams strengthened only with NSM CFRP strip. The maximum increase of flexural strength was 347% compared to the beam without CFRP strip. Failure of the beam combined reinforced with NSM and EBR strips (T shape) is initiated by debonding of EBR strips attached on the bottom face, and it was succeeded a part of separatio-n of NSM strips along the longitudinal direction and secondly failure of NSM strips was occurred, eventually sudden explosive failure with the separation of concrete cover in the shear region. This result shows that the NSM and EBR strips have good combination to resist applied load and the combined reinforcement with NSM and EBR strips can redistribute appropriately the total stress subjected concrete beam to the EBR and NSM strips.

This study quantitatively evaluated the performance improvement of a circular reinforced concrete pier under dynamic load with strengthening using a steel plate. Various three-dimensional elements were applied using the finite element program ABAQUS. The analytical parameters included the ratios of the steel cover length to the pier's total height and the ratios of the steel cover thickness to the pier diameter for inelastic-nonlinear analysis. The lower part of the pier had fixed boundary conditions, and lateral repetitive loads were applied at the top of the pier. The pier was investigated to evaluate the dynamic performance based on the load-displacement curve, stress-strain curve, ductility, energy absorption capability, and energy ratio. The yield and ultimate loads of piers with steel covers increased by 3.76 times, and the energy absorption capability increased by 4 times due to the confinement effects caused by the steel plate. A plastic hinge part of the column with a steel plate improved the ductility, and the thicker the steel plate was, the greater the energy absorption capacity. This study shows that the reinforced pier should be improved in terms of the seismic performance.

In this study, seismic strengthening performance of RC circular columns reinforced with high ductile PET and hybridized fibers(HF, PET + aramid) strand was experimentally compared and investigated. As a result, the maximum flexural strength and ductility capacity of all reinforced columns were improved than control column and fiber rupture did not occur at the ultimate stage. In addition, the resistive strength and displacement of the PET sheet 25 layers reinforcing column and the HF strand 1 layer reinforcing column were almost similar, so that 1 layer of HF strand showed the same lateral confinement effect as the PET sheet 25 layers. As a result of this experimental study, PET is considered to be suitable as seismic reinforcement material for RC structures in terms of flexural strength and ductility. However, in order to increase the possibility of application in the field, it is necessary to use a prefabricated PET sheet such as HF used in this study. The durability of PET needs investigation in the future.

The time-domain solution from the Kirchhoff integral equation for an exterior problem is not unique at certain eigen-frequencies associated with the fictitious internal modes as happening in frequency-domain analysis. One of the solution methods is the CHIEF (Combined Helmholtz Integral Equation Formulation) approach, which is based on employing additional zero-pressure constraints at some interior points inside the body. Although this method has been widely used in frequency-domain boundary element method due to its simplicity, it was not used in time-domain analysis. In this work, the CHIEF approach is formulated appropriately for time-domain acoustic boundary element method by constraining the unknown surface pressure distribution at the current time, which was obtained by setting the pressure at the interior point to be zero considering the shortest retarded time between boundary nodes and interior point. Sound radiation of a pulsating sphere was used as a test example. By applying the CHIEF method, the low-order fictitious modes could be damped down satisfactorily, thus solving the non-uniqueness problem. However, it was observed that the instability due to high-order fictitious modes, which were beyond the effective frequency, was increased.
