For each construction material used, there is certain theoretical limit in sizes. For tall building construction, the reduction in slab weight is the first step to take in order to break such size limits. In this paper, the feasibility of such objective is proven and given by numerical analysis result. For a typical building slab, both concrete and advanced composite sandwich panels are considered. The concrete slab is treated as a special orthotropic plate to obtain more accurate result. For each panel, the deflection under the dead and live loads is compared, since both tensile and compressive strengths of the composites are far more higher than those of concrete. All types of sandwich panels considered, except one case, have self-weights less than one tenth of that of the reinforced concrete slab, with deflections less than that of the reinforced concrete slab.

The biggest topics in the automobile industry are light weightening and fuel efficiency improvement. There's a lot of research going on. It is focused on light weight materials. Light weight material is seen as the best way to reduce fuel consumption and to solve the problem of environmental pollution and resource depletion. For the light weight materials, new materials such as aluminum, magnesium, and carbon-hardening materials can be found. Research on the joining techniques of dual materials, improvement of material properties by improving the method of manufacture of existing materials, and studies on ultra-high strength steel sheets are expected to take up the most weight in lightweight materials. As the strength of the ultra-high strength steel sheets increases during forming, it is difficult to obtain dimensional precision due to the increase in elastic restoring force compared to mild or high strength steel sheets. Spring back is known to be affected by a number of factors due to poor plastic molding, and can be divided into the effects of the material spraying and the process. The study on the plasticitic variables were studied as plasticitic factors that can be controlled by a part company. Tensile testing of ultra-high strength materials was conducted to derive properties for plasticitic analysis and to analyze spring back with two factors controlling the height of the bead and blank holding force by adding tensile force and controlling the flow rate.

최근 그래핀의 대면적 합성 및 롤투롤 전사 공정의 개발로 그래핀의 상용화가 가시화 되고 있다. 하지만, 그래핀의 독특한 특성인 선형적이고 밴드갭이 없는 에너지 띠 분포 때문에 반도체 소자로서의 직접적인 적용에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 돌파구로써, 그래핀 복합체의 연구와 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 그래핀 복합 적층 구조를 다룬다. 이는 디스플레이, 초고속 반도체 소자, 고성능 광전자소자 및 초고감도 센서 등 다양한 분야에 대한 그래핀의 실용화 가능성이 높아진 것을 의미한다. 특히, 높은 가시광 투과도와 낮은 면저항으로 기존 투명 전극에 대표적으로 사용되고 있는 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)를 그래핀으로 대체하는 것에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 그래핀이 높은 전자이동도를 가지는 것에 비하여 비저항과 투과도 측면에 있어서는 ITO의 성능을 뛰어넘지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ITO가 가지는 취약점인 기판과의 약한 접착력, 높은 취성, 기판과의 열팽창률 차이 등의 공정상 문제점을 극복하고자 하였다. 그래핀 복합 적층 필름은 플라스틱 기판 (PET) 위에 열 화학기상증착법(Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD)을 이용하여 합성한 그래핀을 전사하고, ITO 용액을 도포한 다음 다시 그래핀을 씌워 제작하여 샌드위치 구조(sandwich structure)를 형성하였다. 완성된 필름은 광학적, 전기적 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 광학적 분석으로는 라만 분광을 이용한 그래핀 품질평가와 파장대에 따른 광 투과도, 그리고 반사도 측정을 하였으며, 전기적 특성은 면저항을 측정함으로써 분석한다. 결함이 적고, 대면적에 걸쳐 한 층을 이루어야 하는 고품질 그래핀의 요구사항에 따라 라만 분광의 G, 2D, D 띠를 분석하였다. G와 2D 띠의 비율을 통해 그래핀의 층 수를, D 띠의 강도를 통해 결함의 유무를 판단하였다. 또한, 가시광 영역에서 90% 이상의 광 투과도를 보여야 하는 투명 소자의 요구사항 달성 정도를 UV-VIS를 이용하여 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 제작한 필름의 면저항 또한 4-프로브 멀티미터를 이용하여 측정하고, 일반적인 터치스크린의 면저항인 $500{\Omega}/sq$를 만족하는지 평가하였다.

Most video coding systems use YCbCr color space for their inputs, but RGB space is more preferred in the field of high fidelity video because the compression gain from YCbCr becomes disappeared in the high quality operation region. In order to improve the coding performance of RGB video signal, this paper presents an adaptive frequency-selective weighted prediction algorithm. Based on the sign agreement and the strength of frequency-domain correlation of residual color planes, the proposed scheme adaptively selects the frequency elements as well as the corresponding prediction weights for better utilization of inter-plane correlation of RGB signal. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm improves the coding gain of around 13% bitrate reduction, on average, compared to the common mode of 4:4:4 video coding in the state-of-the-art video compression standard, H.264/AVC.

Recently, with development of mechanics of materials, as pursuing the high speed of the ships, there has been an increasing demand on the composite construction which satisfies high strength and low weight at the same time. A sandwich element is a type of composite construction, which is composed of thin, strong, stiff and relatively high density faces and a thick, light, and weaker core material. As the second moment is increased by faces separated from the neutral axis farther, a sandwich element is most effective light structural form. In this study, Rayleigh-Ritz Energy Method is adopted, which can analyze sandwich plate relatively simply and exactly. Stresses and buckling loads are analyzed exactly, when uniform lateral pressure load, inplane compression and inplane shear are acting at the sandwich plate. Including a wrinkling stress, this study can be applied to the initial design and minimum weight design of sandwich plates.

Aluminum has been widely used as frame materials in the curtain walls. Recently, use of steel as a curtain wall frame is being considered due to its higher strength and thermal resistance than aluminum. In this study, fire tests on the basis of EN 13830 were performed with aluminum and steel-aluminum hybrid curtain walls. From the tests, fire resistance integrity, thermal insulation, and radiation properties were evaluated for both systems and compared. According to the test results, the steel-aluminum hybrid curtain wall showed better fire-performance than the typical aluminum curtain wall for the fire resistance integrity and radiation properties. Although, the fire resistance performance for the insulation property was 6 min for both the two frames, the collapses were occurred at 36 min for the steel-aluminum hybrid curtain wall and at 13 min for the aluminum hybrid curtain wall.

Under impact or blast loads, concrete behaves with different mechanical properties comparing to the static loading conditions. In other words, with high strain rate, mechanical properties of concrete vary significantly. To evaluate the compressive characteristics of concrete with high strain rate, SHPB(Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) test is typically used. However, because SHPB test method has been developed for metallic materials, it is necessary to verify the applicability of SHPB for brittle materials such as concrete. Also, there have been little researches on the evaluations of mechanical characteristics of UHPC under high strain rate conditions. This study has been performed to evaluate and analyse the compressive characteristics of plain concrete and UHPC with SHPB test apparatus. Also, to verify the applicability of SHPB test for concrete, direct displacement image analysis with high speed camera was performed for the comparisons with analytical solutions for SHPB test.

This study has examined the effect of bottom ash(BA) on the properties of low heat-blended cement(LHC) and concrete. A number of binders were prepared by the replacement of LHC with BA in range of 5$^{\sim}$20wt%. The results showed that the final setting time of cement paste were delayed when the BA replaced part of the cement. However, The heat of hydration increased narrowly with adding BA in a early hydration period. The results also showed the inclusion of BA at replacement levels of 5$^{\sim}$10wt% resulted in an increase in compressive strength of the specimens compared with that of the control concrete and improved a resistance of concrete against the sulfate and chlorine ion.

Recently, according to the increasement of high-rise building construction and domestic situation, requirements of rapid cycle construction are increasing. For more economical and rapid cycle construction, it is required to reduce formwork cost. So formwork have to be stripped as soon as possible. But as fresh concrete is loaded with construction load, it is likely that the structure will have problems with safety and serviceability. To reduce construction cycle economically, safety and serviceability of structure against construction load have to be considered. But as behavior of structure under construction is so complicated, behavior of structure has to be investigated according to construction stage. Therefore, through field instrumentation of apartment, behavior of structure under construction was analyzed.

The spatial distribution of electromagnetic fields in the human body can be adjusted by using high dielectric materials. This method has a complementary compared to other methods. However, it can be used as a powerful dielectric shimming tool in certain applications. It can be manufactured in a geometrically free shape and a pad manufactured according to the purpose can be applied without any change of the system. Especially in ultrahigh magnetic field (UHF) MRI, the clinical high dielectric pad used to increase the intensity of the transmit (B1+) and receive (B1-) fields, which has low sensitivity due to the high operating frequency, has great potential. In addition, there are few studies applied to UHF MRI. Therefore, in this study, a high dielectric material pad made of calcium titanate suspension was developed in the laboratory. And the signal increase of clinically useful images was confirmed in various protocols of UHF 7T MRI.
