One of the widely used NDT(Non-destructive techniques) is the ultrasonic pulse velocity (USPV) method, which determines the travel time of the ultrasonic pulse through the tested materials and most studies were focused on the results expressed in time domain. However, the signal of ultrasonic pulse in time domain can be transformed into frequency domain, through Fast fourier transform(FFT) to give more useful informations. This paper shows a comparison of changes in the pulse velocity and frequency domain signals of concrete for various load histories using lightweight fine aggregates. The strength prediction equation for normal concrete using USPV cannot be used to estimate lightweight fine aggregate concrete strength. The signals in frequency domain of ultrasonic pulse of lightweight fine aggregate concrete does not show any significant difference comparing with those of normal concrete. The increases in stress levels of concrete change the pulse velocities and maximum frequencies, however the apparent relationship between themselves can not be found in this experiment.

We evaluated physical properties such as density, compressive characteristics, irrecoverable work, and stress relaxation of red pepper powder with different particle sizes. The particle sizes showed a normal distribution in size, with a particle size of $150{\sim}600{\mu}m$ accounting for 70.95% of the particles in the Hanbando cultivar and 82.21% in the Cheongyang cultivar. Loose bulk density ranged between 0.34 and $0.45g/cm^3$, while tapped bulk density ranged between 0.43 and $0.56g/cm^3$. The Hausner ratio was highest (1.531) at a particle size below $150{\mu}m$ in the Cheongyang cultivar. The compressibility and compression ratios were 0.001351~0.004383 and 1.0062~1.0265, respectively. Irrecoverable work ranged between 69.16% and 90.24%. The $K_2$ value and stress relaxation characteristics were greatest (1.74 and 44.92%, respectively) at particle sizes of $300{\sim}425{\mu}m$ in the Cheongyang cultivar. The dynamic angle of repose was $32.84-49.84^{\circ}$. Overall, particle sizes below $150{\mu}m$ had the highest compactibility, cohesiveness, and transformation.

Fe-5.7%AI-1.1%Cr-0.5%Si damping alloys containing 0%C and 0.12%C were heat-treated at $800^{\circ}C$ for an hour and then cooled by using some different methods. The damping behaviors of these alloys were observed by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and a specific damping capacity(SDC) test. Effect of cooling method on microstructures and the internal stresses of these alloys were negligible while the damping capacity of these alloys was considerably deteriorated by water quenching. The (200) texture was mainly developed by water quenching while the (110) texture by furnace cooling. These results were interpreted by the magnetization behaviors of the ferromagnetic $\alpha$ ferrite. The easy axis of magnetization in <100> direction means that <100> axis has more $180^{\circ}$ magnetic domain walls than $90^{\circ}$ ones. Thus. $180^{\circ}$ magnetic domain walls were more formed by water quenching, which deteriorated the damping capacity of these alloys. Consequently, the amount of magnetic domain walls giving good damping capacity became less so that the damping capacity was poor in water quenching.

Grouting has been practiced as a reliable technique to improve the mechanical properties of rock mass. But, the study of ground improvement by greeting is rare especially in jointed rock mass. In this study, joint compression test and direct shear test were performed on pure rock joint and cement milk grouted rock joint to examine the grouting effect on the property of rock joint. In the pure rock joint compression test, joint closure varied non-linearly with normal stress. But after cement milk grouting, the normal deformation characteristics of the joint was linear at the low normal stress level. As normal stress increased. deformation of the sample rapidly increased due to the stress concentration at the joint asperities. Peak shear strength of the grouted joint in low normal stress was higher than that of non-grouted joint due to the cohesion, decreased exponetially as the grout thickness increased. Thus after cement milk grouting, the failure envelope modified to a curve that has cohesion due to grout material hydration with decreased friction angle. Shear stiffness and peak dilation angle of the grouted joint decreased as the grout thickness increased. The peak shear strength from the direct shear test on grouted rock joint was represented by an empirical equation as a fuction of grout thickness and roughness mean amplitude.

Volume of concrete slab changes by temperature and moisture effects. At that time, tensile stress develops because the slab volume change is restrained by friction resistance between the slab and subbase, and then crack occurs occasionally. Accordingly, researchers have made efforts to figure out the friction characteristics between the slab and subbase by performing push-off tests. Lately, researches to analyze concrete pavement behavior by the friction characteristics have been performed by finite element method. In this study, The friction characteristics between the slab and subbase were investigated based on the friction test results for lean concrete, aggregate, and asphalt subase widely used in Korean concrete pavements. The energy method bilinearizing relation between nonlinear friction resistance and displacement were suggested. The friction test was modeled by 3-D finite element program, ABAQUS, and the model was verified by comparing the analyzed results to the test results. The bilinear model developed by the energy method was validated by comparing analysis results obtained by using the nonlinear and bilinear friction resistance displacement relation as input data. A typical Korean concrete pavement was modeled by ABAQUS and EverFE and analyzed results were compared to evaluate applicability of the bilinear model.

The $HfO_X$ thin film was deposited what it has been paid attention to the next generation oxide thin layer of MOSFET (metal-Oxide semiconductor field-effect-transistor) by rf magnetron sputter on Si (100) substrate. The $HfO_X$ thin film was deposited using a various oxygen gas flows (5, 10, 15 sccm). After deposition, $HfO_X$ thin films were annealed from 400 to $800^{\circ}C$ for 20 min in nitrogen ambient. The electrical characteristics of the $HfO_X$ thin film was improved by leakage current properties, depending on the increase of oxygen gas flow and annealing temperature. In particular, the properties of nano-mechanics of $HfO_X$ thin films were measured by AFM and Nano-indenter. From the results, the maximum indentation depth at the basis of maximum indentation force was increased from 24.9 to 38.8 nm according to increase the annealing temperature. Especially, the indentation depth was increased rapidly at $800^{\circ}C$. The rapid increasement of indentation depth was expected to be due to the change of residual stress in the $HfO_X$ thin film, and this result was caused by relative flux of oxygen outgasing during the annealing process.

XRD results on annealing studies of Na-feldspars (Amelia albite) show rapid changes in the lattice parameters of the $1073^{\circ}C$-heated samples owing to disordering of Al and Si as well as lattice distortions upon quenching of the heated specimens. While a low albite transformed to a high albite by 7-days annealing at $1073^{\circ}C$, it remains as an early intermediate albite even by 140-days annealing at $924^{\circ}C$ due to the slower Al-Si disordering rate. From the heated samples tweed structures of $100∼200\AA$ were typically observed by TEM, which showed different ways of development between the $1073^{\circ}C$ -heated one and the $923 ^{\circ}C$ -heated one. The former locally trans-farmed to rnicrostructures similar to albite twin, while the latter transformed to domain structures containing albite twin plane in the wider area. The origin of tweed structures is suggested to be formation of incipient twins (albite twin and pericline twin) to reduce the lattice instability which is increased by disordering of Al and Si as well as quenching.

Track system and periodic live load are characteristics of railway bridges. In the design and construction of railway bridge, periodic live load increases the importance of dynamic behavior. And It is well known that behavior of railway bridge may be affected by track system in real bridge. Through experimental study, static and dynamic behaviors were investigated. Deflection and stress due to bending moment were measured, the location of neutral axis of each section, natural frequency, damping ratio were analyzed for each three track systems - girder only, installed ballast track system and installed concrete slab track system. According to measured values for the each type of track system, concrete track system increases the stiffness of bridge by 50%, and ballast system does by 7%, dynamic responses of structure change linearly with the magnitude of load and location of neutral axis of each sections varies with each track system. Damping ratio is almost equal without and with track. Therefore, the effects of track system on the integral behaviors of railway bridge can not be ignored in the design of bridge, especially in the case of concrete slab track system. So study of the quantitative analysis method for effects of track system must be performed.

YSZ layer containing nano-sized particles has been deposited on the commercial A1203 substrate by Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD). The role of coating rnjcrostructures of YSZ to indentation damage is studied. The different coating microsouctures are prepared by varying the substrate temperatures from $600^{circ}C$ to $800^{circ}C$ during the deposition. Microhardness test and Hertzian indentation are conducted on the $YSZ/Al_{2}O_{3}$ layered systems. The damage and flilure behaviors have been investigated according to the effect of microstructures and indentation loads. With increasing the substrate temperature during EB-PVD, the overall grain sizes are coarser and more faceted, which microsoucture ultimately influences on the indentation behavior, thus, YSZ/Al_{2}O_{3}$ layered system prepared at the substrate temperature of $800^{circ}C$ shows relatively higher damage tolerance.

CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) has received considerable attention in various fields as a structural material, because of its high specific strength, high specific stiffness, excellent design flexibility, favorable chemical properties, etc. Most products consisting of several parts are generally assembled by mechanical joining methods (using rivets, bolts, pins, etc.). Holes must be drilled in the parts to be joined, and the strength of the components subjected to static and fatigue loads caused by stress concentration must be decreased. In this study, we experimentally evaluated the variation in the residual strength of a holenotched CFRP plate subjected to fatigue load. We repeatedly subjected the hole-notched specimen to fatigue load for a certain number of cycles, and then we investigated the residual strength of the hole-notched specimen by performing the fracture test. From the results of the test, we can observe the initiation of a directional crack caused by the applied fatigue load. Further, we observed that the residual strength increases with a decrease in the notch effect due to this crack. It was evaluated that the residual strength increases to a certain level and subsequently decreases. This variation in the residual strength was represented by a simple equation by using a model of the decrease in residual strength for plain plate, which was developed by Reifsnider and a stress redistribution model for hole-notched plate, which was developed by Yip.
