Recently, necessities of steel form for reinforced concrete beam and girder have been emphasized in building structures for the reduction of the construction period and the labor cost. SY Beam was developed for the these purposes and is roll-formed using thin steel plate. On this research, we tried to evaluate and verify the performance and behavior of SY Beam under construction loading stage as like pouring in situ concrete. For the standard shape of SY beam, structural modelling with various steel thicknesses has carried out using MIDAS GEN program. From results of modelling, the width and height of SY Beam were determined 600mm and 400mm respectively. For 3 SY Beams, the loading experiment was performed to measure vertical and horizontal displacement under stacking sand, concrete block, and bundle of rebar. As a result, the vertical deflection showed a tendency to decrease as the thickness increased. In the horizontal displacement, the trend according to the thickness was not clearly observed. From the evaluation on the loading experiment, it is considered that the SY Beam can secure both workability and structural safety. In particular, the SY Beam(1.2mm) hardly generates horizontal displacement, so it has excellent load-bearing capacity. So, we judged that the SY Beam with 1.2mm steel plate has excellent performance and consider to be immediately commercially available.

Yearly world vehicle production has continued to increase, and the global seaborne trade volumes also are recovering. Based on these positive trends, as demand for cargo ships increases in the freight transportation market, Pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) with large gaps between decks continue to be ordered. The structural analysis of the cargo hold was performed in order to confirm its structural safety in accordance with the guidance for the direct strength assessment of the Korean Register (KR) of Shipping. And, according to the type of cargo, the maximum deflection and structurally weak area that occurred in deck 5 was confirmed. Also, it was found that the weight of the cargo had a significant effect on the deck, the primary members of the deck's structure, and pillars. The results of the structural analysis conducted in this study were added to the existing cargo load planning software. This was done so that the prediction of the maximum stress and the deflection of the deck based on the information about the cargo could be confirmed quickly. In addition, the data will be used as the basic data for rapid information management response to changes in cargo items.

This study aims to analyze the damage and destruction behavior of pallet racks due to external forces through shaking table test. Pallet racks is a general storage racks type consisting of column, beam, and brace to resist an external force. To analyze the safety of the pallet racks due to external force, a shaking table test was conducted to investigate the pallet racks behavior due to external force while increasing the seismic load targeting the pallet racks used in the existing logistics storage facility. As a result of the shaking table test, it was confirmed that the torsion of the pallet racks damaged the connection parts of some members located on the 1st and 2nd levels, thereby destroying the loading equipment.

In this paper, we propose a new heuristic solution for 3D container packing problem for the variable sizes and types of freight. Frist of all, we consider the total cost of container charge i.e., handling, loading and transportation, where each freight will be specifically identified The types of containers and its number to be loaded am be selected automatically by minimizing the total cost of container charge. Maximization of loading space am be achieved efficiently by operating the palletizing and/or depalletizing of freight. By considering these factors we can determine the position of freight in the container and the loading sequence to be packing into the container. In container packing simulation, we can verify that the proposed heuristic algorithm indicates more efficiency space utilization and shows the possibility of using on commercial business.

Recent urban concerns over environmental problems have furthered interest in green roof system. Plant growth and load bearing capacity of an underlying roof are key factors to determine an optimal system. This study was carried out to develop an optimal extensive green roof system for shrubs assessing the effects of substrate type and soil depth on the growth of $Rhododendron$ $indicum$ Sweet. in the experimental systems with different soil types and depths from 2001 to 2008. Substrate types of perlite alone and blended with sandy loam (v/v, 1:1) were used on the experimental systems with depths of 30 cm, 45 cm, and 60 cm. The survival rate of the plants on the perlite alone + 45 cm soil depth system (RS-A-45) was 100% during the experimental period, while those on the perlite alone + 30 cm soil depth system (RS-A-30) and perlite blended + 60 cm soil depth system (RS-B-60) showed 33% and 67%, respectively, in 2008. The overall plant growth and soil properties of RS-A-45 were superior to the others. At 8 years after installation, the total weight of RS-A-45 including plant fresh weight was about $376.6kg{\cdot}m^{-2}$ in field capacity indicating RS-A-45 can be optimal extensive and light weight green roof system.

The concrete void slab structure with the existing mushroom slab, is the structure that maximizes the advantages, while minimizing the weakness with removing useless body force of the concrete part, located on the center of the slab cross-section, which does not need to support the structural weight. In this research, a fire test is performed to analyze how the blaze behave according to the thickness of slab cover, with the practical span length of concrete void slab for the slab length 7.5 m. With this heating test, we assumed the uniform-load-model considering fixed loads and live loads, and chose the standard fire test condition. We measured the temperature changes and the deflection character according to the depth from the heat exposure side, and assessed the resisting capability according to the standard KS F 2257-1. The result comes out with the EPS model can secure about 2 hour fire-resisting-capability with 50 mm of cover depth.

구조의 용접접합부에는 재료의 항복응력 크기의 용접잔류응력이 발생되고, 이 잔류응력 상태에서는 응력비(최소응력/최대응력)의 영향이 거의 없다는 것이 일정 진폭 하중조건의 피로실험결과로부터 알려져 있다. 이와 관련하여, 용접구조의 설계 단계에서는 초기 용접잔류응력이 그래도 잔류한 소형실험편의 일정진폭하중 상태의 피로실험 결과로부터 도출된 피로설계선도(S-N 선도)를 이용, 변동하중에 의한 응력 진폭의 밀도분포만으로 일생동안의 누적피해도를 구해 피로강도를 평가하는 것이 일 반적이다. 지금까지는 선박용접구조의 경우도 이러한 개념으로 피로강도 평가를 수행 하였으나, 일반적인 육상 또는 해상 용접구조물과는 달리, 화물의 적재 등의 정하중 이력에 의한 응력변동폭은 피로를 유발하는 파랑 응력변동폭보다 상당히 크다. 그리 고, 정하중에 의해 용접접합부에 인장응력을 발생시키는 하중이력을 받을 경우, 초기 용접잔류 응력은 상당히 저하될 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 인장응력을 유발하는 정하중 이력에 의해 저하된 용접잔류응력분포와 이러한 잔류응력분포를 가진 선측 종늑골 용접접합부의 피로강도를 검토한다.

Recently, due to the increasing overloaded heavy vehicles and traffic volumes fatigue failures of steel highway bridges frequently occur. Therefore, it is important to decide rational fatigue design procedure which can reflect lifetime cumulative fatigue damage reasonably. In this study, cumulative fatigue damages are simulated for various bridge systems and traffic conditions. The AASHTO LRFD fatigue design procedure is reviewed and the current fatigue design loading format, in which a single representative truck is loaded regardless of bridge width, is found to yield inconsistent safety level. Improved loading format with rational design load level for fatigue design is suggested.

Since 1960's, structural engineers have recognized that tile inherent random nature of loadings and materials as well as the imperfect structural analysis may be important factors in tile structural safety evaluation. Based on the successful developments of the reliability based structural analysis and design, the design criteria of tile standards are recently developed(or modified) in the light of the probabilistic concepts. To develop the probability-based design criteria for tile domestic buildings, the probabilistic characters of loadings acting on structures should be defined first. In this study, therefore, live load data on apartment buildings have collected and analyzed in a systematic manner, and their probabilistic characteristics have been studied. Based oil the results, the lifetime extreme values are computed and compared with current design loads. More rational design loads are suggested, which are more consistent in the probabilistic concepts.

This paper presents the vibration characteristics of scaffolding structures with a hoist according to payloads. In order to analyze the vibrational and structural characteristics for 20-step scaffolding structure, structural and vibrational characteristics for 2-step scaffolding structure were compared with some experimental results. The numerical results for natural frequencies of scaffolding structures have a good agreement with experimental ones. Through the numerical analysis, firstly, it is shown that the maximum stress of scaffolding structures is lower than von-mises yield criteria when four persons with total weight of 280kgf are working at the top of the scaffolding structures. Secondly vibration characteristics including natural frequencies and modes for scaffolding structures are shown in case of various kinds of moving masses.
