Concrete recycling is becoming mandatory rather selective due to depletion of constructional materials and increase of concrete waste. Studies on recycling concrete are conducted in various point of view for long time. However, standard or guideline of many countries for the application of recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) has restrictions such as low replacement rate of coarse aggregate and no fine aggregate allowed due to inferior material properties of recycled aggregate. This study intends to figure out the feasibility of casting natural aggregate concrete(NAC) and RAC separately in a structural member. In making RAC, replacement rate of coarse aggregate was 50, 100% in RAC and treatment of interface of two concretes is introduced. RAC treatment of recycled aggregate or inclusion of additives was not done as it can increase embodied energy of concrete work. Double-shear test with uniformly distributed loading was adopted to evaluate shear strength at the interface of two concretes. After curing it was hard to distinguish interface of two concretes. Experimental result revealed that specimen with higher replacement rate showed higher shear-to-compressive strength ratio, which is possibly attributed to coarse aggregate size and roughness of sheared section. Further study on the effect of various parameters is required and subsequent research activity is on-going.

In the present study, mainly to determine the embarkation time of equipment in dredged clay fills, an analytical approach is performed to predict a variation of the undrained shear strength in the outermost layer. In this approach, Gibson's non-dimensional linear constant defining the relationship between the void ratio and the effective stress is employed. Also in this approach, void ratios and settlements associated with the volume change due to the self-consolidation and the desiccation shrinkage are evaluated at various elapsed times based on the finite difference solution technique proposed by the authors(1999) and the developed computer program named as DSCON. Predicted results(water content ratio, unit weight and undrained shear strength) are compared with those of laboratory model tests conducted with soil samples obtained from the Koheung site. Based on the predicted undrained shear strengths, possible embarkation time of a equipment is also evaluated. In addition, further analyses are made to indirectly verify the efficiency of the analytical approach proposed in the present study using the PSDDF computer program which can consider the drainage efficiency.

Three-dimensional(3D) numerical analyses have been conducted to study the behaviour of a single pile to adjacent tunnelling conducted in the lateral direction of the pile. In the numerical analyses, the interaction between the tunnel, the pile and the soil next to the pile has been analysed. The study includes the pile settlement, the relative shear displacement between the pile and the soil, the shear stresses at the soil next to the pile and the axial force on the pile. In particular, the shear stress transfer mechanism along the pile related to the tunnel advancement has been rigorously analysed. Due to changes in the relative shear displacement between the pile and the soil next to the pile during the tunnel advancement, the shear stress and the axial force distributions along the pile have been changed. Downward shear stress developed above the tunnel springline (Z/L=0.0-0.7~0.8), while upward shear stress is mobilised below the tunnel springline (Z/L=0.7~0.8-1.0) resulting in compressive force on the pile, where Z is the pile location and L is the pile length. Maximum compressive force of about $0.475P_a$ was developed on the pile after completion of tunnel advancement, where $P_a$ is the allowable pile capacity. Some insights into the pile behaviour to tunnelling obtained from the numerical analyses will be reported and discussed.

This study deals with displacement analysis of anisotropic folded structures with triangular elements and quadrilateral elements. When folded plates are analyzed, triangular elements as well as quadrilateral elements are needed for conveniences of modelling. However, using triangular elements is not a simple problem. A simple formulation is presented which allows a quadrilateral element to degenerate into a triangular element. Therefore it can easily be used for computational simplicity and avoided complexities on mixed use of triangular element and quadrilateral element. In this paper, a high-order shear deformation theory using only Lagrangian interpolation functions and drilling degrees of freedom for folded plates are utilized for more accurate analysis. Especially, various results of anisotropic laminated and folded composite structures with triangular element and quadrilateral element show the structural behavior characteristics of them.

A 2-dimensional numerical sediment transport model using erosion rates in undisturbed conditions has been developed and applied to calculating the suspended sediment concentrations and bed level changes in the Lower Fox River The model reduces inaccuracy of sediment model by using the accurate erosion rates obtained in a flume (called Sedflume). The flume has been developed to measure erosion rates as a function of sediment depth and at the situation of high shear stresses such as flood event. Both mechanisms of suspended load and bedload transport are included in the model. The model results were verified for the description of sediment transport in a straight channel and the sediment transport during flood event in the Lower Fox River The results of Lower Fox River simulation showed good agreements with the observed SS concentrations. This model can be used to simulate sediment transport under the high shear conditions such as flood.

Electrorheological(ER) fluid's storage shear modulus(G') and loss factor(${\eta}$) have been directly measured using small amplitude forced oscillating rheometer as a function of oscillating frequency, strain amplitude and applied electric field. Two types of experiment were performed , (a) frequency sweep and (b) amplitude sweep. Two kinds of sample were employed for this experiment ; cornstarch particles in corn oil and zeolite particles in silicone oil. The storage shear modulus was a strong function of driving frequency. Generally, the modulus increased with driving frequency. On the other hand, the loss factor was not well behaved as storage modulus, but as the driving frequency increases the loss factor slightly decreases was the trend of the material's characteristics. Also the modulus was a strong function of strain amplitude. Generally, modulus decreased with increasing strain, but loss factor increases slightly with increasing strain amplitude. For G', cornstarch in corn oil ER fluid has higher values than zeolite based fluid as we increased applied electric field. On the other hand, zeolite based fluid has higher values for ${\eta}$. There is a reasonable agreement between theoretical calculation and experiment.

Since weathered soils are made by weathering process, the characteristics of weathered soils are strongly related to the originated rock and its forming process. Investigations on the originated rock and the weathering environments that decide the forming process are indispensable for the appropriate analysis on weathered soils. In this study, forming process of weathered soil is investigated by geological viewpoint. Test results show that weathering of rock is closely related to the distribution of rock-forming mineral and forming process. Weathered granite soils have the isotropic in-situ stress state and shearing behavior caused by the non-directional characteristics of originated rock. And weathered gneiss soils have the directional characteristics that mechanical behavior is determined by internal discontinuities. It it proved that the weathering resistance of Quarte is greater than that of feldspar and mica, and it is concluded that the thickness of weathered region is greatly influenced by the distribution of rock-forming mineral.

Steel bridges, which have been damaged by load and corrosion, need repair or strengthening. That is a cause of decreasing the durability of structure. In order to solve these problems, welding repair and strengthening methods can be considered. In general, cutting and welding procedure is carried out during the repair welding. Therefore, the investigation of the behavior of residual stress and deformation generated by cutting and welding is very important for safety of structure. Residual stress and deformation produced by gas cutting and arc welding were analyzed using 2D and 3D thermal elasto-plastic FEM. According to the results, the magnitude of temperature was analyzed by 2D-FEM is smaller than that was analyzed using the 3D-FEM at the start and end edge of flange. And the magnitude and distribution of residual stress of perpendicular direction of the cutting line and welding line was analyzed by the 2D-FEM was similar to that was analyzed by 3D-FEM. Therefore, it is possible to predict cutting and welding residual stress by 2D and 3D FEM.

수환경으로 유출되는 유해화학물질은 독성을 가지고 직접 유출되거나 다양한 매체와 반응하여 화재 및 폭발 등의 사고가 발생한다. 실제로 낙동강 유역에서는 1991년 페놀 유출사고를 시작으로 2009년 구미공단 '1,4-다이옥산' 유출사고, 2014년 11월 경북 봉화군의 황산유출사고 등 크고 작은 사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 작년 6월에는 대구와 부산의 수돗물에서 과불화화합물이 검출되기도 하였다. 이러한 대규모 사고를 방지하기 위해 신속한 오염물의 거동 예측이 가능한 추적모델이 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 수환경으로 유출된 유해화학물질의 추적을 위한 1차원 저장대 모형을 개발하였다. 일반적으로 저장대 모형은 복잡한 하천 구조를 하천의 주 흐름이 존재하는 본류대와 하천 흐름이 정체되는 저장대, 그리고 하상구조로 단순화 하여 나타낸다. 본류대에서는 하천흐름에 의한 이송 및 횡방향 유속차로 발생하는 전단류에 의한 확산이 일어나며, 저장대와의 물질교환으로 발생하는 저장효과와, 하상구조와의 흡착 및 탈착, 그리고 생물화학적 반응 및 휘발이 발생한다고 가정한다. 본류대와 저장대간의 질량교환은 난류유속변동과 농도차에 의해서만 발생한다고 가정하고 오염물질의 이송과 분산과정을 해석한다. 저장대에서는 이송 및 전단류에 의한 확산은 일어나지 않으며, 본류대와의 물질교환으로 발생하는 저장효과와 하상구조로의 흡착, 그리고 생물화학적 반응 및 휘발이 발생한다고 가정하며, 하상구조에서는 본류대 및 저장대와의 흡착 및 탈착만 발생한다고 가정한다. 저장대 모형의 해석을 위해서는 리치(Reach) 별로 본류대 분산계수($K_F$), 본류대 면적($A_F$), 저장대 면적($A_S$), 그리고 저장대 교환계수(${\alpha}$)의 네 가지 저장대 매개변수가 필요하며 본 연구에서 개발된 저장대 모형은 흡탈착, 생물화학적 반응 및 휘발 과정을 모두 고려하여 유해화학물질의 확산 거동을 모의한다. 최적의 리치길이, 흡탈착, 반응 및 휘발 계수를 산정하여 모형의 정확도를 향상시켰으며, 신속하고 정확하게 오염물의 거동을 예측할 수 있었다.

This study deals with the development and improvement of a particle dispersion model for quick response to water pollutant accidents. The developed model is based on the shear dispersion theory where vertical mixing is done by step by step mixing by vertical and molecular diffusion algorithm. For the quick response to chemical accidents, an algorithm for multi-core modeling for the particle dispersion model is applied. After the application of multi-core operation using OpenMP directives to the model, the relation for the calculation time and particle size were determined along with the number of cores used for parallel programming to determine the model time for chemical accident responses. The results showed the adequate conditions for the modeling of chemical accidents for quick response and to increase the applicability of the model.
