High performance concrete with low water-to-cement ratio has been widely used with increased demand of high rising buildings and huge scaled structures. Additionally, for high performance concrete, various SCMs are replaced to improve its performance from fresh state to hardened state. With the drawback of increased viscosity of the concrete mixture for high performance concrete, low-viscosity typed high range water reducer is the relatively new admixture. Therefore, as a goal of the research, under using various SCMs with wide range of content, the performance of low-viscosity typed high range water reducer was evaluated. Especially, in this research, the influence of low-viscosity typed high range water reducer on rheological properties including plastic viscosity and yield stress were assessed. As a result of the research, it is expected to provide a fundamental information of low -viscosity typed high ranged water reducer on high performance concrete with various conditions of SCMs.

A fire-resistant steel with enhanced load-bearing capacity has been developed to enable structural elements such as columns and beams withstand exposure to severe fire conditions. To precisely evaluate the fire-resistant performance of structural elements that compose fire-resistant steels, mechanical properties such as yield strength and elastic modulus are essential. To obtain the mechanical database of fire-resistant steels at high temperatures, tensile tests at high temperatures were conducted on steels of two kinds of thicknesses. The results showed that the thickness difference could not affect the mechanical properties at a high temperature.

Some methods are presented to estimate the ultimate lateral resistance of single active piles subjected to lateral loads above the ground surface, considering the lateral soil reaction, the pile length and the fixity condition of a pile head. The lateral soil reaction acting on a single active pile embedded in soil due to pile movement can be estimated by use of a theoretical equation which is derived by considering especially the plastic state of ground surrounding the pile and the pile- section shape. The piles are named short or long depending upon the relative magnitude of the induced bending moment to the yielding moment. As for the fixity condition of a pile head, the free head and the unrotated head are considered. Comparison with other experimental results gives that the calculated ultimate lateral resistance obtained by the author's theory is closer to experimental results than the one obtained by Brom's theory.

In this paper, an efficient algorithm is established in order to estimate the plastic properties of power-law hardening bulk specimen materials with one simple spherical indentation impression test. This work is based on a new formulation of representative strain and, therefore, compare to the preceding approaches the fitting parameters are significantly reduced. Moreover, the new definition of representative strain endowed more physical meaning to the representative strain. In order to verify the reliability of the reverse analysis, we have studied a broad set of materials whose property ranges cover essentially all engineering metals and alloys. Based on the indentation force-displacement P-${\delta}$ curves obtained from numerical simulations, the characteristics of the indentation response and material elastoplastic properties are bridged via explicit functions. Next, through the procedure of reverse analysis the yield stress and power-law hardening exponent of bulk specimen materials can be determined. Finally, good agreement between the result from reverse analysis and initial input data from experiment can be observed.

The performance evaluation of reinforcement concrete structure is carried out as a function of the following performance influencing factors: (1) the strength of concrete, (2) longitudinal reinforcement, (3) transverse reinforcement, (4) aspect ratio, and (5) axial force. With various values of the five parameters, eigenvalue analysis and non-linear static analysis were performed to investigate the structural yield displacement, yield basis shear force, and static performance of ductility ratio. In addition, the performance evaluation is carried out according to the modified capacity spectrum method (FEMA-440) using the results of non-linear static analysis, and the effect of each parameter on performance point is analyzed. Based on the result of eigenvalue analysis and non-linear static analysis indicates, that the natural period and the ductility ratio are affected more by the structural properties than the material properties. In case of the analysis of the criterion of performance points, the effect of section shape is one of the important factors together with natural period and ductility ratio.

This study qualitatively reviewed effect of the height of loading and the ratio of penetration on. the characteristics of deformation of cellular bulkhead by performing a model test of embedded steel plate cellular bulkhead which had different loading height and penetration ratio. And we also examined the effect of the loading height upon the shear behavior by performing two-dimensional model test making use of aluminum rods for a filler. Besides, test results and theoretical values based on Hansen's earth pressure theory were compared and reviewed. In consequence, it was ascertained that the yield moment of cells depended on the height of loading and the ratio of penetration, and the slip surface was located on the lower area of a cell interior according as the height of loading becomes lower. The theoretical consideration which was based on the theory of earth pressure proposed by Hansen revealed that the test results accorded with the theoretical values to some degree, and the same results were derived about the location change of the slip surface.

The material properties of heat resistant materials at power plants are affected by thermal aging as operating time is accumulated. In this study, the influence of thermal aging on yield strength, tensile strength and fracture behavior for Mod.9Cr-1Mo (ASME Grade 91) steel which is a material widely adopted for Generation IV nuclear energy system has been investigated and analyzed. Service exposed Gr.91 steel materials sampled from a piping system of an ultra-supercritical (USC) plant in Korea with accumulated operation time of 73,716 hours were used for material testing. The test results of the service exposed material specimens were compared with those of the virgin Gr.91 steel specimens. Those test data were compared with the material properties of ASME code and RCC-MRx code. Conservatisms of the material properties in the design codes have been quantified based on the comparisons of those from virgin and service exposed material specimens.

Models to predict the ultimate strength of simply supported or continuous deep beams with web openings are proposed. The derived equations are based on upper-bound theorem. The concrete is assumed as a perfectly plastic material obeying the modified Coulomb failure criteria with zero tension cutoff. Reinforcing bar is considered as elastic-perfectly plastic material and its stress is calculated from the limiting principal compressive strain of concrete. The governing failure mechanisms based on test results are idealized as rigid moving blocks separated by a hyperbolic yield line. The effective compressive strength of concrete is calculated from the formula proposed by Vecchio and Collins. Comparisons with existing test results are performed, and they show good agreement.

우리나라는 매년 하절기에 급격한 강우로 인해 홍수의 발생빈도가 급격히 높아지고 있다. 이러한 홍수 발생으로 인한 재산 인명의 피해는 연평균 약 2조억원에 달하고 있다. 이러한 홍수 피해를 방지하기 위해 다양한 연구를 하고 있으며 본 연구에서는 홍수 흐름의 정확한 예측을 통해 홍수 피해 저감을 목표로 하고 있다. 기존의 연구에서는 홍수 흐름 예측을 하는데 있어 부정류 상태로 흐르는 홍수량에 따른 범람의 위치와 범위를 산정하는 것에 중점을 두었다. 그러나 홍수의 흐름은 물에 토사가 섞여 흐르는 혼합체의 흐름이기 때문에 홍수위 모의하는데 있어 물성치도 고려되어야 한다. 이러한 물성치 변화에 따라 홍수 흐름도 영향을 받을 것이라 생각하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 Non-Newtonian 특성을 고려하기 위해 Non-Newtonian 흐름과 일반적인 홍수 모의가 가능한 수치모형을 사용하였다. 사전 연구로 일반 사행수로 형태를 구성하고 사행수로에서의 흐름 물질을 달리하여 흐름 모의를 수행하였다. 흐름물질은 크게 물과 토석류로 나뉘고 토석류는 항복응력과 점성 등을 달리하였다. 또한 다양한 유량으로 흐름 모의를 하여 흐름 범람 시의 특징도 비교해 볼 수 있었다. 모의 결과 사행수로에서 흐름의 차이를 볼 수 있었으며 다양한 형태로 결과를 분석해 보았다. 흐름의 속도와 수심을 다양한 흐름 단면으로 비교하였고 범람되는 지역의 범위와 위치도 비교해 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 흐름 특성은 사행수로에서 곡률이 있는 부분에서 확실하게 확인할 수 있었으며, 홍수 흐름을 모의할 때 Non-Newtonian 특성과 같이 흐름에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다른 특성에 대해도 고려해야 한다는 연구 가능성을 제시할 수 있었다.
