The model using homogenization technique based on energy concept for the prediction of the failure criterion of staple fiber mixed soil was developed to increase the practice and the application of staple fiber as a reinforcement for improving soft ground. Parameters of the model are aspect ratio and volumetric content of fiber, cohesion and internal friction angle of soil, adhesion intercept and interface friction angle of soil and fiber. It is considered that the model developed in this study is applicable to the soil composed of clay, silt and sand mixed by thread types of fiber such as steel bar, steel fiber, natural fiber etc.

This study was carried out to investigate the bending strength of the Larix glulam beams which were reinforced with CFRP (Carbon fiber reinforced plastic) of which the reinforcement ratios were 0.7% and 2.1% by volume. In the bending test, the rupture shape of the reinforced glulam shows that the reinforced glulam broke firstly in the lowest bottom layer on which tension was loaded, but did not in the upper part reinforced with the CFRP layer. The upper part of the reinforced layer kept strength and did not break when the reinforced glulam broke firstly at the bottom part of the reinforced layer, but broke secondly as loading was increased. In the glulam beams reinforced with CFRP of which the reinforcement ratio was 0.7% by volume, the bending strength of the reinforced beams was increased by 28% at the first break. When beams broke up to the upper part of the reinforced layer, the bending strength of the reinforced beams was increased by 55%, compared to those of control glulam beams. When the glulam beams were reinforced with CFRP of which the reinforcement ratio was 2.1% by volume, the bending strength of the reinforced beams was increased by 77%, compared to those of control glulam beams. The ratio of the height of calculated neutral axis using failure mode recommended by Romani and the height of actual neutral axis using strain gauge was 1.03 and agreed well.

This study presents the results of a series of laboratory scale slope failure experiments aimed at clarifying the process and the condition leading to the initiation of rainfall-induced slope failures. For the evaluation of hydrologic response of the model slopes in relation the process of failure initiation, measurements were focused on the changes in volumetric water content during the initiation process. The process leading to failure initiation commences by the development of a seepage face. It appears reasonable to conclude that slope failures are a consequence of the instability of seepage area formed at the slope surface during rainfall period. Therefore, this demonstrates the importance of monitoring the development seepage area for useful prediction about the timing of a particular failure event. The hydrologic response of soil slopes leading to failure initiation is characterized by three phases (phase I, II and III) of significant increase in volumetric water content in association with the ingress of wetting front and the rise of groundwater level within the slope. The period of phase III increase in volumetric water content can be used to initiate advance warning towards a failure initiation event. Therefore, for the concept outlined above, direct and continuous monitoring of the change in volumetric water content is likely to provide the possibility for the development of a reliable and effective means of predicting the occurrence of rainfall-induced slope failures.

The volume control method which utilize a pressure node added into a finite shell element can overcome the drawbacks of conventional load control method and displacement control method. In this study, an improved volume control method is introduced for effective analysis of path-dependent behaviors of RC columns subjected to lateral cyclic loading or reversed cyclic loading along with compressive loading. RC shell structures and RC hollow columns are analyzed by discretizing the structures with layered shell elements and by applying in-plane two dimensional constitutive equations for concrete layers and reinforcement layers of the shell elements. The so-called path dependent volume control method as a finite element analysis technique is verified by comparing analysis results with other data including experimental results. The validity and applicability of the modeling technique is also confirmed by the comparison.

홍수범람은 무제부에서의 하천수위 상승으로 인해 제내로 서서히 침수해가는 것과 월류로 인한 제방의 파괴를 동반하는 급격한 범람의 두 가지 형태가 있다. 기존연구들은 대부분이 월류에 의한 제방붕괴를 고려할 경우, 제방붕괴가 점진적으로 발생함에도 불구하고 이를 수치모형에 적용할 경우 갑작스럽게 지형을 낮추거나 초기지형으로써 제방붕괴를 가정하여 이를 고려해왔다. 본 연구에서는 제방붕괴를 시간의존적인 함수로 가정하고 이를 고려할 수 있는 서브프로그램의 개발을 통해 기존의 방법과 비교하여 그 영향을 검토하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 수치모형은 비선형의 2차원 천수방정식을 비구조적 격자계가 적용된 유한체적법을 이용하였으며, Riemann 해를 계산하기 위하여 approximate HLLC Riemann solver를 이용하였다. 기연구된 제방붕괴 고려방법과 본 연구의 시간의존적인 제방붕괴 고려방법을 통해 월류량을 비교하였을 때, 기존연구들의 홍수범람 해석결과가 과다예측 되었음을 알 수 있었다. 추후의 이루어질 연구들에서는 시간의존적인 제방붕괴를 반드시 고려해야됨과 동시에 이를 자연현상과 좀더 가깝고 효과적으로 고려할 수 있도록 연구가 필요하다.

2차원 노심핵설계 코드 HELIOS를 이용하여 $^{7}$ LiF-BeF$_2$-ThF$_4$-$^{233}$ UF$_4$ 용융염 핵연료와 흑연(Graphite) 감속재로 구성된 AMBIDEXTER(Advanced Molten-salt Break-even Inherently-safe Dual-mission EXperimental and TEst Reactor) 원자로의 육각주형 로심격자에 대해 핵적 자활성 요건의 설계해석을 수행하였다. AMBIDEXTER 원자로는 액체 핵연료의 유동성을 이용한 온라인 핵연료 정화ㆍ처리ㆍ재생의 연속공정을 도입하여 노내의 잔류 핵분열 생성물질의 포화양을 최소로 유지시키고 중성자 경제성을 극대화하므로 높은 전환율을 얻는 설계이다. 핵연료 내에 잔류하는 핵분열생성물질의 포화농도에 대응하는 연소도를 등가연소도로 정의할 때, 열출력 250MW$_{th}$ AMBIDEXTER 원자로의 등가연소도 374MWD/TeH.E.의 평형 로심 모델에 대해 핵적 자활성을 지배하는 주요 핵설계 인자로서 용융염 핵연료의 $^{233}$ U Mole 분율, 흑연-대-용융염의 체적비, 노심격자 간격 및 출력 밀도의 변화에 따른 임계도 및 전환율을 평가하였다. 그 결과, $^{233}$ U Mole 분율과 혹연-대-용융염 체적비를 좌표축으로 하는 2차원상공간에서 핵적 자활성 요건 상태함수는 각 노심격자간격에 대해 완만한 선형 함수로 표현할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in an unbounded isotropic elastic solid containing multiple isotropic elliptical fibers of arbitrary orientation subject to uniform stress at infinity. The fibers are assumed to be long parallel elliptical cylinders composed of isotropic elastic material perfectly bonded to the isotropic matrix. The solid is assumed to be under plane strain on the plane normal to the cylinders. A detailed analysis of the stress field at the matrix-fiber interface for square and hexagonal packing of the fibers is carried out for different values of the number, orientation angles and concentration of the elliptical fibers. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are examined through comparison with results obtained from analytical and finite element methods.

Fiber-reinforced composites transmitting microwaves of certain frequencies or bands were proposed. These frequency selective fabric composites(FSFCs) are fabricated by weaving carbon fibers and dielectric fibers that build periodic patterns. Design parameters affecting the electromagnetic characteristics of FSFCs were widely discussed, Then the electromagnetic characteristics of a fabricated plain-weave FSEC were investigated with regard to the electrical conductivities of carbon roving, the fiber undulation, and the aperture-to-cell ratio, for the electrical conductivities, its dependence on frequency as well as on the fiber volume fraction of carbon roving was taken into account. Constituent material properties and the fiber undulation had little effect on the EM properties of the fabricated FSFC, while the aperture-to-cell ratio made a profound effect on them.

In order to evaluate the performance of fire-protection foams used to protect structures from heat and fire damages, the thermal characteristics of them are experimentally investigated. This research focuses on the destruction of a fire-fighting foam subjected to heat radiation. A simple repeatable test apparatus for fire-protection foams subjected to fire radiation is developed. It involves a foam generation equipment, a fire source for heat generation, repeatable test procedures, and data acquisition techniques. Results of the experimental procedure indicated that each thermocouple within the foam responded in a similar manner and gradually to a temperature of 115℃～20℃. At this point, each trace generally rises to a temperature of approximately 90℃. The temperature gradient in the foam as time passes increases with increasing the foam expansion ratio. In addition, it is found that the temperature gradient along the foam for depth decreases with increasing the foam expansion ratio.
