The texture changes and their effect on the 0.2% yield strength of Zircaloy-4 sheet were examined after quenched from the ($\alpha$+$\beta$) phase temperature. When the prior ($\alpha$+$\beta$) gram size was slightly larger than that of the $\alpha$-annealed, the observed texture was similar to the $\alpha$-annealed texture having an ideal orientation of the (0001) basal pole at 30$^{\circ}$away from the normal direction toward the transverse direction. When the prior ($\alpha$+$\beta$) grain size was twice as large as that of the $\alpha$-annealed, the location of maximum basal pole intensity was distributed between the transverse and the rolling direction making an angle 15$^{\circ}$from the normal direction, and the observed texture became isotropic. It was found that the Kearns texture parameter, fr, in the rolling direction increased steadily, and fr in the transverse direction increased slightly, while fr in the the normal direction decreased with increasing heat treatment time. With a small increase in fr, the 0.2% yield strength increased drastically. The influence of texture was analyzed by deriving the Schmid orientation factors and the resolved shear stresses for the deformation systems. It was found that the large increase in the 0.2% yield strength was attributed mainly to the microstructural changes and partly to the texture changes by the ($\alpha$+$\beta$) heat treatment.

The aim of this study is to provide the stress-strain behavior of hardening geological materials such as rock or concrete on three dimensional spaces by using Desai model based on plastic theory. To validate proposed model, truly triaxial tests with high pressure under variety of stress paths in which three principal stresses were controlled independently using concrete materials were performed. The main results are summerized as follows: 1. Various stress paths for hardening materials used are satisfactorily explained by performing the truly triaxial test with high pressure. This is very important to investigate constitutive equations for materials like rock or concrete. 2. Since the proposed yield function is continuous, it avoids the singularity point at the intersection of two function in the previous models, thus, reducing the difficulties for computer implementation. 3. Analytic predictions for yielding behavior on $J_1-{\sqrt{J_{2D}}}$ octahedral and triaxial plane, as well as volumetric strain and stress-strain behavior agree well with experimental results.

The sharp indenters such as Berkovich and conical indenters have a geometrical self-similarity in theory, but different materials have the same load-depth curve in case of single indentation. In this study, we analyze the load-depth curves of conical indenter with angles of indenter via finite element method. From FE analyses of dual-conical indentation test, we investigate the relationships between indentation parameters and load-deflection curves. With numerical regressions of obtained data, we finally propose indentation formulae for material properties evaluation. The proposed approach provides stress-strain curve and the values of elastic modulus, yield strength and strain-hardening exponent with an average error of less than 2%. It is also discussed that the method is valid for any elastically deforming indenters made of tungsten carbide and diamond for instance. The proposed indentation approach provides a substantial enhancement in accuracy compared with the prior methods.

The purpose of this study is to examine the utility of concretefilled steel tubular column to H-beam connections with tubular stiffener. As a preliminary step. a tensile experiment was undertaken to scrutinize characteristics of the structural behavior that take place between beam flanges and column with tubular stiffener. A total of 4 types of experimental settings were developed as tabular stiffeners are made up 9, 18, and 27 mm of thickness and 50 and 80 mm of height respetively Along with the overall load subsequently the degree of displacement and strain were recorded. Based on the yield line theory results of this of this study were evaluated and further critically reviewed the applicability of the strength formula. This study found that collapse mechanism was emerged on the beam flange as reinforcing tabular stiffeners Complementary studies of this sort, including numerical analyses should be undertaken in order to develope specific design critera.

In this study, a series of the isotropic compression-expansion tests and the Undrained triaxial tests were performed on low-plastic silt of Pocheon stone sludge. Using the tests results the characteristic of the parameters of Lade's single hardening constitutive model were investigated. We also observed that predicted values from the Lade's single hardening constitutive model were well consistent with the observed data. In experimental results the deviator stress showed the work hardening behaviour after reaching its yield stress. Therefore practically useful failure criterion for low-plastic silt were required. The stress-strain behavior predicted by 11 soil parameters are compared with the results obtained 9 parameters by correlation between h and ${\eta}_1$ and constant ${\alpha}$. They are poor matched each other.

To improve concrete tensile strength and bending strength, New plan that have more economical and simple manufacture process is groped. By an alternative plan, chemical pre-stressed concrete is presented. In this study, we analyzed the rheological properties of cement paste with the kind and replacement ratio of k-type CSA type expansive additives that is used mainly in domestic. and we suggested that the algorithm of a mixing plan in the chemical pre-stressed concrete and from this, we presented the basic report for the right mixing plan. From the results, Flow increased more or less according to use of expansive additives. This phenomenon was observed by increasing paste amount that shows as substitution for expansive additives that specific gravity is smaller than that of cement. As linear regression a result supposing paste that mix expansive additives by Bingham plastic fluid. The shear rate and shear stress expressed high interrelationship. therefore, flow analysis of quantitative was available. The plastic viscosity following to replacement ratio of expansive additives is no change almost, the yield value is decreased in proportion to the added amount of expansive additives. Through this experiment, we could evaluate rheological properties of cement paste using the expansive additives. Hereafter by an additional experiment, we must confirm stability assessment of material separation by using the aggregate with the kind and replacement ratio of expansive additives.

In case of repeated wheel-loads are acted on subbase course material, field test is generally executed to get the design standard, but the study shows dynamic properties of soils especially under repeated loads, which have not been well known to us. We try not only to obtain yield stress and elastic modulus of soil in terms of rheological model interpretation but also to investigate the influence of the repeated loads. Yield stress of soil induces hardening until approaching critical value along with the increase in number of cycle, whereas the change in modulus of elasticity with respect to the number of cycle greatly depends on the strength of repeated stress, if weak in strength of repeated stress, the modulus of elasticity increases along with the number of cycle, while if strong, it tends to decrease.

A strictly aerobic bacterium forming yeller pigment and a highly viscous polysaccharide was isolated. The bacterium was identified as Pseudomonas mendocia. The polysaccharide was presumed to be ${\beta}-glucan$ with o-acetyl group in its structure and the constituent sugar components were glucose and rhamnose in the molar ratio of 2.1: 1.0. The intrinsic viscosity was 64.73dl/g. The apparent viscosity of 1% aqueous solution was 428 mPa.s. at $42\;sec^{-1}$ and the yield stress of the solution was 8.89Pa. The polysaccharide did not have thermal stability but show pH and salt stability.

Cement paste is originally the basic material and crucial factor consisting concrete. This study investigates the relationship between flow apparatuses, which are ring flow(R-F), flow cone(F-C) and mini slump(M-S), in order to estimate the fluidity of cement Paste. For quantitatively evaluating the measured data this study also investigated the calibration of the rheology consistent, such as yield value and plastic viscosity, of cement paste using viscometer For this purpose the present work discussed the influence of 3 type of ordinary portland cement with different companies, affecting the fluidity of cement paste. and it also demonstrated the influence of the various kinds of mineral admixtures, such as fly ash(FA), blast furnace slag(BS) and silica fume(SF) and that of incorporating ratio. The author concluded that using R-F apparatus is the most effective flow test method of cement paste and it is exactly proportional to other apparatus' rheological properties.

This paper dealt with the influence of experimental error generated inevitably during performing experiments on the granular soil behaviour analysis selecting Lade's Single Work-Hardening constitutive model. Several isotropic compression-expansion tests and a series of drained conventional triaxial tests with various confining pressures for Baekma river sands were performed and the values of parameters for the above model were determined using computer program developed for this study based on regression analysis. By finding the range of the upper and lower bound for deviator stress and volumetric strain versus axial strain dependant on the increase and decrease of the standard deviation from mean value of parameters, sensitivities of all the parameters were examined. Practical use of program to determine the parameters and capability to predict the behaviour of granular soil by Lade's Single Work -Hardening model verified.
