In this paper, ultrasonic tomography by the Mode-Converted Rayleigh wave (MCRW) in the back-scattered direction is presented. When a beam with a short pulse and narrow beam width enters a reflector with smooth surface, in general, two major arrivals can be observed in the output waveform: the specular reflection and the radiation of the MCRW from the reflector surface. The time-delay between the two waves is relatively large and thus can be measured easily. This large time-delay is due to the fact that the MCRW is slower than incident wave. In our method, this large time- delay is used for ultrasonic image reconstruction. To effectively detect the MCRW, the arrayed-receiving transducers are circularly arranged around the transmitter. In addition, a deconvolution method is employed to remove specular echo signals for reconstructing the MCRW image.

During earthquakes, the joints provide a principal means for energy dissipation, and these are also responsible for introducing a nonlinear behavior to the overall building system, while large panels remain in the elastic range. In analysis for the precast concrete large panel system, it is difficult to make a general analysis for their behavior because of differences in joint details. Therefore, in case of presence of vertical joints, it is more difficult because of the interaction between the horizontal joints and vertical joints, In this study, a nonlinear finite element analysis is performed using the gap element, friction element, and concrete material model, and the results are compared with the experimental results.

The present work was dealt with the twelve species of orbatid mites from leaves, stems and stubbles of rice( Oryza sativa L). Among them six species, that is, Protoribates agricola, Scheloribates decarinatus, Scheloribates oryzae, Sacculozets filosus, Punctoribates manzanoensis, and Paralamellobates ceylanica are new ones in Korea. The other species are Epilohmannia palida pacifica, Podorbates cuspidatus, Tricogaulumna nipponica, Peloribate sp., Scheloribates sp., Galumna sp.

The purpose of this study is to develop the mechanical anchorage, namely MAB-BOP (Mechanical Anchorage of 90$^{\circ}$ Hooked Bars with BOlt nad Plate) of the beam-column joint in precast concrete framed structures. Six specimens simulating typical interior beam-column joints were tested to investigate the mechanical characteristics of MAB-BOP. Of primary interest was the measurement of the slip of the anchored bar. Th load-slip curve obtained from this test were used to compare the mechanical performances of the different anchoring methods. Based on the test results, it was found that MAB-BOP showed sufficient anchoring strength capacity compared to 90$^{\circ}$ hooked bar method. So, MAB-BOP can be used as the anchoring methods of the reinforcing bars in PC beam-column joint.

Recently, composite structural systems have been developed actively due to its structural advantages of combining different materials. The objective of this paper is to investigate the structural behavior of composite connection which consist of steel beams and reinforced concrete columns (RCS). Five 2/3 scale joint specimens with variables mainly consist of shear resisting details, were tested under reversal loads. The results showed that RCS beam-column joints maintain ductility, strength compared to other RCS joints and exhibited excellent energy dissipating capacity when subjected to inelastic deformations under reversal load.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the structural performance of columns in an Reinforced Concrete Ordinary Moment Frame building. For this purpose, a 3-story building was designed according to the Korea seismic design provisons and ACI 318-99, and the columns of in the first story were constructed. The columns were classified into interior and columns. For each interior and exterior columns, upper and lower parts ate modeled by the 2/3 scale experimental specimens. The specimens for lower part columns have lap splice. The interior columns were tested under the constant axial force, while the exterior columns were tested under the fluctuating axial force. Based on the results of the experiments, the effects of the lap splice and axial force on the column performance are evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to develop the analytical model for the reinforcement bar connection in group-filled steel pipe sleeve, which consists of beam elements for the reinforcement bar and shell elements for the sleeve and the mortar and spring elements for the bond stress-slip relationship. In the reinforcement bar connection using grout-filled steel pipe sleeve, the major variables are the bond stiffness between reinforcement bar and mortar($K_1$) and between sleeve and mortar($K_2$). It is nearly difficult to predict the exact bond stiffness with the experimental results. Therefore, The linearly elastic analyses using ABAQUS, FEM package show the validity of the mathematical equations for the bond stiffness and the choice of material elements in this paper. To predict the behaviour between yield and ultimate tensile strength, the nonlinear analyses must be performed henceforth.

This Study is performed to analyze the behavior of inverted T-shaped Composite Basement Wall(CBW). For this, it is purposed to analyze the failure mechanisms of inverted T-shaped composite basement wall and propose the method of evaluating strength for design. The failure mechanisms would be devided into 4 type mechanisms from previous experimental results, that is hanger failure, punching shear failure, flexural failure and the buckling of H-pile. A strength evaluation procedure for CBW is induced by analyzing respective failure mechanism. Then, the strength for actual structure consisted of inverted T-shaped composite basement wall was evaluated and the expected failure mechanism was determined.

Results of an experimental investigation on the bearing strength and stiffness of concrete under dowel bars are summarized. The effects of concrete strength bar diameter, and location of the bar on concrete were studied. Based on test results, empirical equations are proposed to predict the, concrete bearing strength and stiffness under reinforcing bars. Cornparisions of analytical arid experimental results are presented.

Structural performance of the walls subjected to lateral load reversals depends on various parameters such as loading history, sectional shape, reinforcement, lateral confinement, aspect ratio, axial compression, etc. Thus, the performance of the shearwall for wall-type apartment should be evaluated properly considering above parameters. This study investigates the effect of sectional shape on the structural performance of the wall. Sectional shape of the specimen is rectangular, barbell and T. Based on this experimental results, all specimens behaved as ductile fashion and failed by concrete crushing of the compression zone. Deformation index of those specimens evaluated better than 3 of ductility ratio, and 1.5% of deformability specified by seismic provision. Moreover, the performance of the rectangular shaped specimen, whose compression zone was confined with U-bar and cross tie, was as good as the barbell shaped specimen. Therefore, if we considered construction practice such as workmanship and detailing, shearwall with rectangular section may be more economical lateral load resisting system.
