This paper presents an experimental study on the Cherepnov water lifter that can pump or lift water without the use of external energy such as electricity. The energy used by the lifter is derived from the potential energy of the water itself. The liffter consists of three interconnected tanks, one of which is open and two others are hermetically sealed. The water level and the pressure in each tank were measured to improve the undestanding of the behavior and the operational charateristics of the lifter. The effects of varying operating parameters such as the inflow rate, tank and pipe sizes, the relative positions of the tanks were analyzed. As a results, factors that can maximize the efficiency, shorten the cycle time and increase the delivery rate were identified.

This study was carried out to evaluate the structural safety fur both the attached wind-protecting wall in greenhouse and the detached one installed outside. Regarding the attached wind-protecting wall in greenhouse, the analysis was conducted by doing a fluid-structure coupled field analysis using both CFX-5.7 and ANSYS 8.1 and also under the design condition of an instantaneous maximum wind velocity of $30.9m{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Three kinds of the width ranged from 30 to 90cm were considered in this study. With regard to the detached wind-protecting wall, the structural saffty was analyzed under the pressure difference of 1,117 Pa which corresponded to a wind velocity of $50m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and the analytical results were also compared with theoretical ones. The result showed that there was little difference in the distribution of velocity overall and total pressure on the lateral side according to the width of the attached wind-protecting wall, but greenhouse with wind-protecting widths of 30 to 60cm has been reinforced to the extent of about 11% when compared with the case of being without the wall. The result also showed that the detached wind-protecting wall with a main-column interval of 3m was not stable so that it was necessary for the detached wind-protecting wall to be adequately reinforced to secure structural stability. Finally, there was great difference between analytical results and theoretical studies. The difference meant that there was some possibility of including errors when a theoretical study was done in three dimensional structure.

An energy pile is one of the novel ground heat exchangers (GHEX's) that is a economical alternative to the conventional closed-loop vertical GHEX. The combined system of both a structural foundation and a GHEX contains a heat exchange pipe inside the pile foundation and allows a working fluid circulating through the pipe, inducing heat exchange with the ground formation. In this paper, a group of energy piles equipped with parallel U-type (5, 8 and 10 pairs) heat exchange pipes was constructed in a test-bed by fabricating in large-diameter cast-in-place concrete piles. In addition, a closed-loop vertical GHEX with 30m depth was constructed nearby to conduct in-situ thermal response tests (TRTs) and to compare with the thermal performance of the cast-in-place energy piles. A series of thermal performance tests was carried out with application of an artificial cooling and heating load to evaluate the heat exchange rate of energy piles. The applicability of cast-in-place energy piles was evaluated by comparing the relative heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange rate with preceding studies. Finally, it is concluded that the cast-in-place energy piles constructed in the test-bed demonstrate effective and stable thermal performance compared with the other types of GHEX.

This investigation is the result of the structural analysis by finite element method and test for considering stress distribution and stress concentration to be generated according to the change of attached shape and method of the bracket to pipe in welding structure. Generally, members that consist structures are subjected to various forces and are jointed each other with a number of bracket. In this case, circular pipe was adapted in order to weld these members easily and to study the optimal design which is used a beam with shape section as main components of the structure, According to attached shape and method, distributed stress on circular pipe is appeared so differently. This may result deeply effects with respect to thickness, material properties. So a study on attaching shape and method of bracket to circular pipe is needed. In this paper, to obtain the maximum equivalent stress or stress concentration was used experimental and F.E.M. analysis. First five parameter was defined with respect to attached a shape and method to circular pipe i.e. the variation of the attached area, the variation of the attached shape, the variation of the attached length, the variation of both directin angles, the variation of the upper angle. Afterward the experimental analysis was practiced as the variation of the both direction angel and the finite element analysis was practiced as each parameters. We can discover stress distribution and stress concentration according to the change of form of bracket. And the result can be referenced for a design of similar structure.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effect of large underground station construction method under an existing pile supported bridge using reduced-scale model tests. A series of tests were conducted on design alternatives using 1g models for different design options for which tunnel structures were created considering the similitude law. Deformation fields obtained using the PIV analysis and LVDTs together with strains in tunnel structures were used to investigate the effect of the construction methods on the pile supported bridge. The results of the tests demonstrated that the pipe roof structure is more efficient in limiting the ground deformation as well as the settlement of bridge foundation than a 2-Arch tunnel. It is also shown that the PIV analysis can be effectively used in analyzing ground tunneling induced ground movement for cases in which a construction sequence governs ground movement.

In this paper, we propose a CAD software framework to automatically generate a shop drawing. Shop drawing is to draw the geometric figures representing an arrangement of steel bars for a concrete building on its structural design, based on its construction specifications and the design rules, and its well-formed process lead to be automated. A key point of the design automation is to minimize the user interactions by automatically recognizing the design specifications and to finally generate the shape of the geometric figures. The graphic pipeline of the proposed framework consists of four stages; a specification DB, specification extraction, binding, and rendering. To effectively extract all specifications only for a figure from the DB and bind them to its shape, we use a hierarchical approach; the specifications are classified into three common, structural, and figure classes, and each attribute is extracted in design phases. Based on our framework, we implemented a specialized CAD for shop drawing using AutoCAD and could easily update it according to user's demands.

Accelerometers are widely used to measure the lateral vibrations of pipe-like structures such as a gun tube under impulse loads. Stress waves that precede the lateral vibrations due to the explosion within a gun contribute little to the vibrations, but saturate the accelerometer input. A mechanical filter eliminates this high-frequency stress wave and only transmits the signal corresponding to the lateral vibrations. The mechanical filter consists of a mechanical structure for mounting the accelerometers and a damping material. The low-pass filter characteristics are determined from the equivalent damping and stiffness property of this damping material. In this paper, we tested nine commercially available damping materials for their vibration characteristics by using a test rig. We also observed the change in the vibration characteristics while compressing the material. We designed and manufactured a mechanical filter and verified its filtering performance.

수냉형의 Bo kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$1급 TMCP 고장력 강재를 중심으로, 이 강재 모재의 기계적 특성 및 용접부의 각종 사용특성에 관해 종래의 압연제법에 의한 동일강도레벨의 고장력강판과 비교하여 고찰하고 이 강재의 유효이용에 대하여 설명하였다. TMCP 고장력 강판은 탄소당량이 낮고 결 정립 미세화가 달성되기 때문에 파괴인성이나, 용접부의 내외화, 내용접균열성 면에서 탁월한 특 징을 가지나 용접조립시 용접열사이클로 인한 연화현상 때문에 용접부의 사용특성이 문제로 될 수 있다. 그러나 용접조건이나, 강판의 강도, 화학성분의 배려, 선택에 따라 실용상 별로 문제가 되지 않음이 확인하고 있다. 이와 같은 특징으로 인해 TMCP강은 조선용 소재뿐만 아니고, 북해, 북극해와 같은 한냉빙해역의 가혹한 환경에서 작동되는 해양구조물용이나 라인 파이프용 소재 로서도 그 활용이 확대되어 갈 것으로 생각된다.

Glass fiber reinforced polyester (GFRP) composites are widely used as structural materials in harsh environment such as underground pipes, tanks and boat hulls, which requires long-term water resistance. Especially, these materials might be damaged due to delamination between gelcoat and composites through an osmotic process when they are immersed in water. In this study, GFRP laminates were prepared by surface treatment of UPE (unsaturated polyester) gelcoat by vacuum infusion process to improve the durability of composite materials used in underground pipes. The composite surface coated with gelcoat was examined for surface defects, cracking, and hardness change characteristics in water-immersion environments (different temperatures of $60^{\circ}C$, $75^{\circ}C$, and $85^{\circ}C$). The penetration depth of cracks was investigated by micro CT imaging according to water immersion temperature. It was confirmed that cracks developed into the composites material at $75^{\circ}C$ and $85^{\circ}C$ causing loss of durability of the materials. The point at which the initial crack initiated was defined as the failure time and the life expectancy at $23^{\circ}C$ was measured using the Arrhenius equation. The results from this study is expected to be applied to reliability evaluation of various industrial fields where gelcoat is applied such as civil engineering, construction, and marine industry.
