The soil-structure interaction(SSI) analysis is essential to soil site where shear wave velocity is less than 1,050 m/sec and soil nonlinear characteristics for this kind of soil site have to be considered in SSI analysis. In order to consider soil nonlinear characteristics in the SSI analysis, simple and reliable soil nonlinear evaluation technique with seismic recorded data at downhole array is proposed in this study. The SSI analysis is carried out in order to prove the reliability of the proposed evaluation technique with Hualien large scale seismic test(HLSST) site in Taiwan. The analytical result are compared with Hualien earthquake recorded data and the analytical results with SHAKE program which is prevailed at present. As a result, the proposed evaluation technique shows a good agreement with both the Hualien earthquake recorded data and the analytical result with SHAKE program and the reliability and usefulness are confirmed.

The polymer blends of waste poly(vinyl chloride) (RPVC) and waste polyethylene (RPE) were prepared by melt mixing. Their morphologies and rheological properties were investigated and torque changes were also measured. Comparing the torques calculated by the log additivity rule with measured torque changes, the polymer blends showed the large negative deviation behavior (NDB) due to their incompatibility. The shear viscosities of the blends decreased with increasing shear rates, showing shear thinning behavior. The shear viscosity of the blends with compatibilizer was larger than that of the blends without compatibilizer. SEM micrographs of the strands after measurement showed that the domain size of the blends was slightly enlarged with increasing the shear rate. Also, RPVC domain size was larger in the core-sections of the strands from capillary viscometer than in the surface region.

Electrorheological(ER) effect on the dispersive system of polarizable fine powder/dielectric oil has been investigated. The electrical and rheological properties of zeolite and starch based ER fluid were reported. The ER fluids were constructed by mixing zeolite and starch power with two different dielectric oils. Yield stress of the fluids were measured on the couette cell type rheometer as a function of electric fields, particle concetrations, and temperatures. The electric field is applied by high voltage DC power supply. The outer cup is connected to positive electrode(+) and the bob becomes ground(-). And the temperatures the viscosity(or shear stress) versus shear rates were measured. In this experiment shear rates were increased from 0 to $200s^{-1}$ in 2 minutes.

중량비가 측쇄의 함량이 각각 4.37%(시료I)와 8.97%(시료II)인 두종류의 사과 펙틴을 이용하여 측쇄가 펙틴용액의 점탄성에 미치는 역할에 대하여 연구하였다. 시료II가 시료 I보 다 동일한 농도에서 더높은 전단속도에서는 오히려 시료 I의 전단점도가 시료 II보다 높은 값을 보였다. 시료I과 시료 II의 η0는 농도에 대하여 각각 η0 C4.23의 관계를보여 시료II가 더높은 농도의존성을 보였다. 한편 용액의 탄성특성을 나타내는 저장탄성계수(G＇)와 zero-shear recoverable compliance(Jeo)의 경우에는 시료II가 시료I보다 높은 값을 보였는데 이는 측쇄가 탄성과 밀접한 관계가 있다는 것을 의미한다. 펙틴용액의 전단점도와 복소점도 를 비교했을 때 거의 비슷한 값을 보였으나 예외적으로 고측쇄의 시료 II의 경우 고농도에 서 서로 상이한 값을 보였다. 본연구의 결과는 진한 용액하에서 측쇄가 분자간의 상호엉킴 에 상당한 기여를 하고 있음을 나타내었다.

The shear stress on a surface due to the thin film fluid flow is an important issue. In case of a rotating disk, the fluid is delivered to the edge of the disk by centrifugal force, which acts as a body force on the fluid. Wear of a surface is affected by the shear stress acting on the surface and curvature. In this study, we utilize computational fluid dynamics software to model the ratio of curvature and local shear stress on solid surfaces. The key goal of the study is to determine an optimized curvature for the thin film fluid flow on a solid surface in order to minimize the local shear stress affecting the wear of this surface. Our results on the effects of curvature will be utilized for the design of devices that utilize thin film fluid flow on a solid surface, such as rotating-disk spray systems and thin film coating.

A series of calibration chamber tests are performed to investigate the spatial distribution of the excess porewater pressure due to piezocone penetration into overconsolidated clays. It was observed that the excess porewater pressure increases monotonically from the piezocone surface to the outer boundary of the shear zone and then decreases logarithmically, approaching zero at the outer boundary of the plastic zone. It was also found that the size of the shear zone decreases from approximately 2.2 to 1.5 times the cone radius with increasing OCR, while the plastic radius is about 11 times the piezocone radius, regardless of the OCR. Based on the modified Cam clay model and the cylindrical cavity expansion theory, the expressions to predict the Initial porewater pressure at the piezocone were developed, considering the effects of the strain rate and stress anisotropy. The method of predicting the spatial distribution of excess porewater pressure proposed in this study was verified by comparing it with the porewater pressure measured in overconsolidated specimens in the calibration chamber.

원심력집진기는 장치가 간단하지만 집진효율이 낮아 주로 여과포집진장치 및 전기집진장치의 전단에만 사용되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 여과포집진장치는 고효율의 집진성능을 가지고 있지만 유입되는 먼지의 농도를 감소시키기 위하여 전단에 원심력집진기를 설치하게 되므로 설치공간 및 동력비가 과다하게 소요되고 있으며, 높은 압력손실, 낮은 여과속도에 의한 장치면적 증가, 균일한 집진이 어려워 일부 여과포에 집중적인 부하가 걸리게 되는 단점 등을 가지고 있다. 전기집진장치의 경우 압력손실이 적고 대용량에 적용 가능하지만, 여과집진장치에 비해 집진효율이 낮고, 먼지의 종류 및 연료연소조건에 따라 집진효율이 크게 영향을 받는 단점을 가지고 있다.

Recently, nine $1397{\times}1397{\times}178mm$ RC panels were tested under in-plane pure-shear monotonic loading condition using the Panel Element Tester by Hsu (1997, ACI). By combining the equilibrium, compatibility, and the softened stress-strain relationship of concrete in biaxial state, Modern Truss Model (MCFT, RA-STM) are capable of producing the nonlinear analysis of RC membrane panel through the complicated trial-and-error method with double loop. In this paper, an efficient algorithm with one loop is proposed for the refined Mohr compatibility Method based on the strut-tie failure criteria. This algorithm can be speedy calculated to analyze the shear history of RC membrane element using the results of Hsu test. The results indicate that the response of shear deformation energy at Big Bang of shear strain significantly influenced by the principal compressive stress-strain (crushing failure).

In urban area, design and construction of civil engineering structures such as subway tunnel, underground space and deep excavation is impeded by unreliable site investigation. Variety of embedded objects, electric noises and traffic vibrations degrades the quality of site investigation, whatever the site-investigation technique would be. In this research, a preliminary research was performed to develop a dedicated site investigation technique for urban geotechnical sites, which can overcome the limitations of urban sites. HiRAS (Hybrid Integration of Surface Waves and Resistivity) technique which is the first outcome of the preliminary research was proposed in this paper. The technique combines surface wave as well as electrical resistivity. CapSASW method for surface-wave technique and PDC-R technique for electrical resistivity survey were incorporated to develop HiRAS technique. CapSASW method is a good method for evaluating material stiffness and PDC-R technique is a reliable method for determination of underground stratification even in a site with electrical noise. For the inversion analysis of HiRAS techniuqe, a site-specific relationship between stress-wave velocity and resistivity was employed. As for outgrowth of this research, the 2-D distribution of Poisson's ratio could be also determined.

It has been widely known that the seismic piezo-cone penetration test (SCPTU) is one of the most useful techniques for investigating the geotechnical characteristics including dynamic soil properties. As the practical applications in Korea, SCPTU was carried out at two sites in Busan and four sites in Incheon, which are mainly composed of alluvial or marine soil deposits. From the SCPTU waveform data obtained from the testing sites, the first arrival times of shear waves were and the corresponding time differences with depth were determined using the cross-over method, and the shear wave velocity profiles (VS) were derived based on the refracted ray path method based on Snell's law and similar to the trend of cone tip resistance (qt) profiles. In Incheon area, the testing depths of SCPTU were deeper than those of conventional down-hole seismic tests. Moreover, for the application of the conventional CPTU to earthquake engineering practices, the correlations between VS and CPTU data were deduced based on the SCPTU results. For the empirical evaluation of VS for all soils together with clays and sands which are classified unambiguously in this study by the soil behavior type classification Index (IC), the authors suggested the VS-CPTU data correlations expressed as a function of four parameters, qt, fs, $\sigma$, v0 and Bq, determined by multiple statistical regression modeling. Despite the incompatible strain levels of the down-hole seismic test during SCPTU and the conventional CPTU, it is shown that the VS-CPTU data correlations for all soils clays and sands suggested in this study is applicable to the preliminary estimation of VS for the Korean deposits and is more reliable than the previous correlations proposed by other researchers.
