Structural members using ultra high strength concrete which usually used with steel fiber is designed with guidelines based on several investigation of SF-RPC(steel fiber reinforced reactive powder concrete). However, there are not clear design method yet. Especially, SF-RPC member should be casted with steam(90 degree delicious) and members with SF-RPC usually used with precast members. Although the most important design parameter is development method between SF-RPC and steel reinforcement(rebar), there are no clear design method in the SF-RPC member design guidelines. There are many controversial problems on safety and economy. Therefore, in order to make design more optimum safe design, in this study, we investigated bond stress between steel rebar and SF-RPC according to test. Test results were compared with previously suggested analysis method. Test was carried out with direct pull out test using variables of compressive strength of concrete, concrete cover and inclusion ratio of steel fiber. According to test results, bond stress between steel rebar and SF-RPC increased with increase of compressive strength of concrete and concrete cover. Increasing rate of bond stress were decrease with increase of compressive strength of SF-RPC and concrete cover significantly. 1% volume fraction inclusion of steel fiber increase the bond stress between steel rebar and SF-RPC with two times but 2% volume fraction cannot affect the bond stress significantly. There are no exact or empirical equations for evaluation of SF-RPC bond stress. In order to make safe bond design of SF-RPC precast members, previously suggested analysis method for bond stress by Tepfers were evaluated. This method have shown good agreement with test results, especially for steel fiber reinforced RPC.

Precast reinforced concrete bridge columns with hollow rectangular section were tested under cyclic lateral load with constant axial force to investigate its seismic performance. After all the precast column segments were erected, longitudinal reinforcement was inserted in the sheath prefabricated in the segments, which were then mortar grouted. Main variables of the test series were column aspect ratio, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, amount of lateral reinforcement, and location of segment joints. The aspect ratios were 4.5 and 2.5, and the longitudinal steel ratios were 1.15% and 3.07%. The amount of lateral reinforcement were 95%, 55%, 50%, and 27% of the minimum amount for full ductility design requirements in the Korean Bridge Design Code. The locations of segment joints in plastic hinge region were 0.5 and 1.0 times of the section depth from the bottom column end. The test results of cracking and failure mode, axial-flexural strength, lateral load-displacement relationship, and displacement ductility are presented. Then, safety of the ductility demand based seismic design in the Korean Bridge Design Code is discussed. The column specimens showed larger ductility than expected, because buckling of longitudinal reinforcing bar was prevented due to confinement developed not only by transverse steel but also by sheath and infilling mortar.

The genetic structures at one leucine aminopeptidase locus (LAP-A) of acorns, seedling raised in greenhouse and forest form the two beech provenances. West Germany and Rumania, were investigated and compared with each other. In many pair wise comparisons significant differences in genotypic structure as well as genic structure were ascertained between different developmental stages. In both the provenances, the allele $A_2$ seems to have advantage at both seedling stages raised under two different conditions. Homozygous carriers of $A_2$ allele survived best in greenhouse, while heterozygous carriers especially with $A_2$ allele possessed great viability under more variable environmental conditions. Since a distinct different genetic background was present in two base populations, the identical effect of the allele $A_2$ confirms the adaptiveness of this locus. With aid of some measures such as viability parameter and genetic distance, the character of occurred viability selection of further explained. The possible significance of this locus at this early stage is discussed in relation to adaptation of this long lived tree species to heterogeneous environment.

In this study, an innovative steel stair system is presented which enables rapid erection and high quality control in both residential and office building construction. This system features two lightweight steel stringers of box shape, bolted connections easy to absorb construction tolerance, and stair steps movable transversely (or sliding steps) such that the work space needed for concrete stairway wall could be easily provided. In this type of stairway system, other than providing robust connecting details, ensuring vibration performance is especially important since this system may be vibration-sensitive due to lightweight nature and/or probable low damping. To tackle these issues, a series of full-scale mock-up tests were conducted by using box-shape stringer members with or without concrete-fill. The connection system was shown to be sufficiently stiff and strong, or it remained elastic even under the 160% of service load level. Among the seven stringer alternatives, five exhibited satisfactory vibration performance according to the related North American and European acceptance criteria.

Development of the packaging is one of the critical issues for commercialization of the RF-MEMS devices. RF MEMS package should be designed to have small size, hermetic protection, good RF performance and high reliability. In addition, packaging should be conducted at sufficiently low temperature. In this paper, a low temperature hermetic wafer level packaging scheme for the RF-MEMS devices is presented. For hermetic sealing, Au-Sn eutectic bonding technology at the temperature below $300{\times}C$ is used. Au-Sn multilayer metallization with a square loop of $70{\mu}m$ in width is performed. The electrical feed-through is achieved by the vertical through-hole via filled with electroplated Cu. The size of the MEMS Package is $1mm\times1mm\times700{\mu}m$. By applying $O_2$ plasma ashing and fabrication process optimization, we can achieve the void-free structure within the bonding interface as well as via hole. The shear strength and hermeticity of the package satisfy the requirements of MIL-STD-883F. Any organic gases or contamination are not observed inside the package. The total insertion loss for the packaging is 0.075 dB at 2 GHz. Furthermore, the robustness of the package is demonstrated by observing no performance degradation and physical damage of the package after several reliability tests.

Generally, the steel rigid frame has been analyzed using finite element analysis tools. While many efforts have been poured into the understanding and accurate prediction for the nonlinear behavior of the columns and beam-columns connections, the base of the columns are modeled as simply hinged or fixed. However, the base of the steel columns practically is neither fixed not hinged. It behaves as semi-rigid. In this paper, the supports of the columns we modeled as semi-rigid and the importance of such approach in moment-resisting columns is evaluated. Two typical buildings designed by the US specification are modeled and analyzed by the finite element based on stiffness method and flexibility method. The column bases of three-story buildings are modeled as rotational springs with a varying degree of stiffness and strength that simulates the semi-rigidity of the base. Depending on the degree of stiffness and strength, the semi-rigidity varies from the hinged to the fixed. Buildings with semi-rigid column bases behaves similarly to the building with fixed bases. It has been numerically observed through the pushover and nonlinear time history analyses that the decrease of the stiffness of the column base induces the rotational demand on the int air beams. an increase of rotation demands on the first store connections and lead to a soft-story mechanists Due often to the construction and environmental effects, undesired reduction of column base stiffness may cause an increase of rotation demands on the first store connections and lead to a soft-story mechanism.

Special concentrically braced frames(SCBFs) have distinctive advantages in considerable seismic performance, which make engineers widely use SCBFs as lateral-load resisting systems in buildings and have researchers to develop SCBFs design methods. Compared to the extensive research of SCBF, comparatively little information is currently available on the performance of SCBFs designed and constructed before the early 1990's. Prior to 1988, concentrically braced frames(CBFs) design requirements were substantially less restrictive. As a result, many existing structures designed to these requirements may not ensure ductility and pose a significant concern in current buildings. In this study, these older frames are referred as non-seismic braced frames(NCBFs). In order to investigate the seismic behavior of NCBFs, finite-element(FE) models of SCBF and NCBF were suggested and verified using case investigation of NCBF conducted on the University of Washington. Using these models, the seismic behavior of NCBF with shared welding shear tab, which is the representative of the types of connections, was established and compared with the seismic performance of SCBF.

Seismic design code has been performed since 1988 in Korea, so it has not been applied to low-rise reinforced concrete buildings which had been built before 1988. Those building have been designed only for gravity loads based on non-seismic code, Therefore, even minor earthquake occurred, those buildings might have serious damages. In this paper, to investigate the behavior of low-rise reinforced concrete moment resisting frame which had been built in according to the building code of Korea that had been published before 1988, two type of 1/2 scaled exterior beam-column subassemblies which have non-seismic detailing based on the building code of Korea were constructed and tested with reversed cycling loading under the displacement control method. The special features of joint with non-seismic detailing is that there is no transverse reinforcement in the joint. In tests, cracks pattern, strength degradation, loss of stiffness, energy dissipation and the slippage of beam and column bars were investigated. Cracks did not occurred in the joint even seismic loading of 0.12g which is considered as peak ground acceleration in Korea was applied. And increasing seismic loading above 0.12g shear crack happened in the joint which have not transverse beam.

Plasma organic thin film for PCB surface finish is a potential replacement of the conventional PCB finishes because of environment-friendly process, high corrosion-resistance and long shelf life over 1 year. In this study, solder joint properties of the plasma organic surface finish were estimated and compared with OSP surface finish. The plasma surface finish was deposited by chemical vapor deposition from fluorine-based precursors. The thickness of the plasma organic coating was 20 nm. Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solder was used as solder joint materials. From a salt spray test, the plasma organic coating had higher corrosion resistance than the OSP surface finish. The spreadability of SAC305 on plasma organic coating was higher than that on OSP surface finish. SEM and TEM micrographs showed that the interfacial microstructure of the plasma surface finish sample were similar to that of the OSP sample. Solder joint strength of the plasma finish sample was also similar to that of the OSP finished sample.

모듈 형 터빈 다이아프람은, 아우터 링(outer ring), 스팀 패스(steam path)와 이너 웹(inner web)의 원형 형상을 갖는 세 부분을 조립하여 원주 방향의 용접 조인트를 형성하는 기존의 다이아프람 형태가 아니라, 아우터 슈라우드(outer shroud), 베인(vane)과 이너 슈라우드(inner shroud)의 세 부분이 하나의 모듈을 이루고 이러한 모듈을 원주 방향으로 조립하여 방사 방향의 조인트를 형성한다. 전자빔 용접은 이와 같은 방사 방향의 조인트를 수직으로 가로지르는 용접 궤적을 따라 진행되며, 용접 패스에 따라 형성되는 용융 비드의 단면적만큼 인접하는 두 모듈을 접합시킨다. 이 경우 용융 비드의 단면적과 형상은 두 모듈의 결합 강도를 결정하는 중요한 요소가 되어, 제작 시 다이아프람의 크기와 두께에 따라 용입 깊이와 평균 단면 비드 폭을 규정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 용입 깊이와 단면 비드 폭의 요구 조건을 만족하면서 결함이 없는 건전한 용접부를 얻을 수 있는 최적 용접 조건을 도출하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 플레이트 시편과 모듈 시편을 사용한 기초 실험과 유사 시제품(semi-mockup) 실험을 실시하였다. 플레이트 기초 실험을 통해 전자빔 주요 변수인 빔 전류, 초점 위치, 용접 속도, 빔 진동 폭 변화에 따른 용융 비드 형상 변화를 관찰하였고, 빔 전류가 용입 깊이에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 인자임을 확인하여 요구 용입 깊이 별 적정 빔 전류 값을 설정하였다. 용접 속도는 생산성 측면에서 균열이 발생하지 않는 범위에서 가능하면 가장 큰 값을 사용하였고, 빔 진동 폭은 초점 위치와 함께 단면 비드 형상 결정에 많은 영향을 주는 인자로 확인되어 균열이 없는 가장 이상적인 단면 비드 형상인 완만한 쐐기 형태가 되도록 설정하였다. 이 후 실제 제품 폭과 용접 패스를 갖는 블록 모듈 실험을 통해 설정 용접 변수의 적용성과 균열 발생 여부를 확인하였고, 이 때 적용 제품 폭이 30 mm 이하이며 요구 용입 깊이가 50 mm 이상의 경우에서 비드 중앙부 균열이 발생함을 관찰하였다. 따라서 해당 영역의 제품에는 균열 저항성이 높도록 용접 속도와 빔 진동 폭을 줄여 최적 용접 변수를 새롭게 설정하였으며, 이를 유사 시제품 실험에 적용하여 최종적으로 용접 변수 안정성을 검증하였다. 이러한 실험을 통해 확인된 최적 용접 조건을 실 제품 제작에 적용하여 모듈 형 터빈 다이아프람 전자빔 용접 제작을 성공적으로 완료할 수 있었다.
