According to SOLAS Regulation XII/6.5.3 and IMO GBS functional requirement(IMO, 2010), the structural redundancy of multi-bay stiffened panel in cargo area of bulk carrier should be provided enough in order to endure the initial design load though one bay of the stiffened panel is damaged due to plastic deformation or fatigue crack. To satisfy structural redundancy, Harmonized Common Structural Rules (hereinafter CSR-H, IACS, 2014) proposed to use 1.15 instead of 1.0 for buckling usage factor of stiffened panel in cargo area. This paper shows that buckling usage factor in CSR-H for structural redundancy is somewhat conservative considering the ultimate strength calculated by using nonlinear FEA for the damaged condition which is only one bay's plastic deformation due to colliding by weigh object like a bucket. Also, this paper presents that increasing of plate thickness only is more effective to get enough structural redundancy.

When the concrete is placed, the water, needed for hydration of the cement, is under 30% of W/C including bound and gel water. However, as minimum water content cause bad workability, the W/C have to be higher. Therefore, fresh concrete produce 10${\sim}$20% extra water. As those water remain entrapped air in the concrete, life of the structure is reduced because of the degradation caused by entrapped air. For that reason, if extra water is eliminated, it will be great to improve the durability of the structures. Therefore, this study was performed to verity the fundamental properties through the experiment on the dewatering system using the euro form for eliminating extra water. When the dewatering form was applicated, the compressive strength was increased by 16% than those of normal form. However, the increasing rate of compressive strength got lower as the height is higher. In terms of ultrasonic pulse speed and surface roughness, the dewatering form showed better results than the normal one.

In this study, the erosional parameters for deposit beds were quantitatively estimated domestically for the first time through the erosion tests using an annular flume. Four erosion tests were carried out for the deposit beds with different consolidation structures, which were obtained by consolidating the kaolinite slurries for a given time durations. Results of erosion tests showed that the bed shear strength ${\tau}_s$ increased with the consolidation time and bed depth. The erosion rate ${\epsilon}$ was also shown to be related well with the excess shear stress ${\tau}_b-{\tau}_s$ which was given by the difference between flow shear stress ${\tau}_b$ and bed shear strength ${\tau}_s$. While the logarithm of the erosion rate was linearly related with the excess shear stress as ${\tau}_b-{\tau}_s{\geq}0.1N/m^2$, however, the erosion rate decreased rapidly with it when ${\tau}_b-{\tau}_s{\leq}0.1N/m^2$. These erosion test results were also shown to be good enough to verify by comparing with the test results from previous studies and a new equation was suggested to describe the erosion rate more well in the region of ${\tau}_b-{\tau}_s{\leq}0.1N/m^2$.

In this study, the erosional properties of deposit bed for the natural sediments are quantitatively estimated domestically for the first time using annular flume. Four erosion tests for Saemankeum sediments have been carried out on different consolidation time. Experimental results of erosional tests show that shear strength ${\tau}_s$ increases with the increases of consolidation time and bed depth. The erosion rate increases logarithmically with the increases of exceed shear strength ${\tau}_b-{\tau}_s$. But, the erosion rate decreases rapidly with the decreases of exceed shear strength under the $0.2N/m^2$. Experimental results of this study are found to be remarkably different in quantity as compared with those for results of previous study.

This study examined the effectiveness of ultrasound on enhancing the dewaterability and volume reduction of bio solids from a waste treatment plant. The test specimen was obtained from a storage tank immediately before the dewatering process at a local treatment plant. The test conditions included the energy levels of ultrasonic waves and treatment time. The tests were undertaken using three types of different treatment processors (7 liter, 1 ton, 7 ton container). The capillary suction time (CST) and the viscosity of sludge, which is one of the influencing factors for dewaterbility, were obtained under various test conditions. The results showed that ultrasound increases the CST of the raw specimens, whereas a significant reduction (20 % of the maximum value) of CST occurred in the sample with ultrasound and flocculent. The decrease in viscosity reached 40 % of the maximum value. A centrifugal test was performed to examine the characteristics of the sludge settlement. The settling rate and time required to reach the final values were both enhanced by the ultrasonic energy. An ultrasonic treatment is potentially useful tool for reducing the amount of released sludge. To examine the possible use of field application, the real scale sonic processor was designed and operated. The results were similar (50 % of the maximum value) to those of laboratory experiments.

Fresh concrete has 10~20% extra water in it. As those water remain entrapped air in the concrete, life span of structures is reduced. For that reason, if extra water is eliminated, it will be useful to improve the durability of the structures. Though there were many reports about permeable formwork, the study on the properties of permeable liner itself has been insufficient. In addition, making holes on the form causes lowering of workability. Therefore, this study reviewed the properties of woven and non-woven permeable liner and formwork which has no holes on the form. For the woven and non-woven permeable liner, they showed great application with W/C decrease, lowering roughness, increased compressive strength of surface area and slight loss of cement paste, when the were applied to concrete. In addition, they showed different performance according to the density of woven liner or thickness of non-woven liner. Furthermore, when using the draining non-woven permeable liner which has drainage path inside, concrete surface showed required performance with high workability, without drilling the holes on the form.

In this paper, another method for system reliability analysis, called the extended incremental load method, is introduced. The method is an extension of the conventional incremental load method and has been developed aiming at evaluating the probability of system failure(or system reliability) of continuous structures such as floating offshore structures under the multiple loading condition, more realistically considering the post-ultimate behaviour of failed components and directly using the strength formulae of principle components in a structure with employing the modified safety margin equation proposed herein in the system analysis. The method has been applied to the Hutton TLP operated in the Hutton field in the North Sea and a certain variant of the design using the TLP Rule Case Committee type improved strength models. System failure probability and corresponding system reliability indices are derived for a more economical and efficient design. The redundancy characteristics are also addressed. The TLP forms are shown to possess high reserve strength and system safety.

In this study, to enhance the quality of concrete surface by removing the surplus water, permeable liner attached the euroform was applied for manufacturing concrete specimens. Various kinds of concrete mixtures with different water to binder ratios were applied and the strength properties of the hardened concrete surfaces were evaluated at different heights. Experimental results showed that the rebound values by schmidt hammer test and the compressive strengths on the surfaces of concrete specimens were increased as proportion to the amount of mixture water which is dependent on the water to binder ratio of each concrete mixture, and more enhancements were observed on the middle and lower specimen surfaces than the upper region. SEM analysis also showed that much denser hydrate structures were observed on the specimen surfaces by the application of the permeable liner while similar hydrate formations were occurred regardless of surface treatment conditions. From the MIP test results of the concrete surfaces, it was observed that, by the application of permeable liner, the pore volume below $0.01{\mu}m$ was decreased with a maximum of 50% resulting in the densification of pore structures.

Dewatering mold form get many holes on the surface to drain excessive water from combine concrete. While fiber is adhered to the forms inter surface, that makes it possible to improve concrete workability by draining excess water through the holes. We can expect the outer layer to solidify and to compact and get improvement of concretes durability. Maybe, it is valuable enough that dewatering mold form is put to practical use. On this study, the purpose is to obtain fundamental data for effective dewatering mold and properties of exposed concrete with the form, and ultimately, is to propose practical theory.
