In this study, the applicability of impact-echo method for assessment of residual strength of fire-damaged concrete is investigated. A series of standard fire test is performed to obtain fire-damaged concrete specimens. Impact-echo tests are executed on the specimens and the responses are analyzed. Compressive strengths of the fire-damaged concrete are evaluated and correlated with the ultrasonic wave velocities determined from the impact-echo responses. The effectiveness of impact-echo based ultrasonic wave velocity measurement for assessment of residual strength of fire-damaged concrete is discussed.

Reasonable prediction of residual capacity of fire-damaged reinforced columns is important for both the safety measurement and the rehabilitation of the reinforced concrete structures suffered from exposure to extensive fire. In order to predict the residual behavior of fire-damaged reinforced concrete columns, its predictive model must be able to take into account the amount of heat transferred into the column, the level of deterioration of constituent materials and various column geometries. The numerical model presented in this research includes all these factors. The model has been shown to reasonably predict the residual behavior of fire-damaged columns. Parametric studies were performed using this model for the effects of cover thickness, exposure time to fire and column geometries on the residual behavior of reinforced concrete columns. It was found that serious damage on the residual capacity of column resulted from a longer exposure time to fire but only marginal differences from other factors.

In April, 1995, ANC government was established in South Africa. The Black government set up Truth and Reconciliation Committee in November, 1995. The Committee investigated approximately 50,000 cases for 3years. Through this process, Black and White in SA could be united into one. Finally, the system of racial discrimination, lasting for about 300 years, was abolished. The Committee played a role as a social infra-structure, which was to perform and solidify democracy in SA. Reconciliation, agreement, Participation, equality, Communication, and Reformation of law system were practically implemented by the Committee. Many people evaluate TRC's activity, which had the reformative and democratic character of the object of investigation, investigative criterion, investigative process, and the approval of investigative result. But De Klerk evaluates that TRC retaliated the White with legal. J. Cronin evaluates that TRC transiently change democracy of the South Africa, and many other social movement groups had a negative view about TRC. But the Black and White in South Africa transformed 'discriminated society' into 'united one'. The Committee took the initiative in such a change. The Committee was not an organization needed for the policy, but the committee was the policy itself to change the former society to the new one. Now The ANC government was forwarding TRC's roles and functions to the truth and reconciliation bureau of the Justice Department for further action. The ANC government has to execute some policy for social reconciliation. Firstly, the government needs to build construction social and national system for making close investigation into the White's historical guilt. Secondly, it must be executed to TRC's recommendation pursuit social reform of social infra-structure in the South Africa. Thirdly, The government should execute policy for the Black's right as labors and social member. Lastly, the government must investigate still-remaining historic state violence and infringement of human right for social reconciliation.

화재로 인한 건물의 화해 정도는 건축구조불의 안전성에 크게 영향을 미치게 된다. 특히, 철근 콘크리트 구조물이 화재로 인하여 고열을 받게되면, 그 구조적인 내력이 저하되므로, 이에 대한 안전성 검토는 매우 중요하다. 콘크리트의 고온성상은 시멘트의 종류, 골재의 석질. 배합, 함수율, 재령에 따라 달라진다. 또한, 화해를 입은 콘크리트조 건물은 수열조건에 따라 매우 복잡한 양상을 띄게된다. 일반적으로 화재 건물의 콘크리트 부재에서 나타나는 화해는 각 부재의 폭열 또는 콘크리트의 박리에 의한 주근의 노출 등 직접적인 손상과 보의 변형 기둥의 좌굴, 열팽창에 의한 전단균열 등의 2차 적인 피해가 있다. 그 화해 정도는 지진피해의 파괴현상과 유사한 경우도 있다. 이와 같이 콘크리트 부재의 화재 정도를 검토하기 위해서는 콘크리트의 고온성상 파악이 중요하다.(중략)

The behavior of concrete structures subject to fire is complex, depending on many factors. The factors usually considered in research include the level and endurance of temperatures in concrete and reinforcing bars, the mechanical properties of the steel and concrete, moisture contents, cover thickness, existence of eccentricity, and member geometry among others. Although there are a few sophisticated numerical models which can trace the effects of these important parameters on the residual capacity of reinforced concrete columns damaged by fire, practical predictive formulas are in need for rapid yet reasonable assessment in practice. The practical formulas are developed in this study for fire-damaged normal strength reinforced concrete square columns, which can approximate the predictions of those sophisticated numerical models with ease in use. The formulas take into account the effects of exposure time to fire, concrete strength, reinforcement ratio and sectional area. The developed formulas are seen to correlate with the predictions of numerical model in a reasonable agreement. Some examples are also presented in determining the residual strength, safety and additionally needed strengths for a fire-damaged reinforced concrete column.

This paper analyzes the effects of asymmetric reimbursement in a delegate model where the lawyers for a citizen and a polluting firm work on a contingent-fee basis. The major findings from the paper are as follows: (i) the asymmetric reimbursement triggers environmental conflicts by increasing the citizens' expected surplus; (ii) it enhances the possibility of settlement by decreasing the magnitude of expected loss less expected surplus; (iii) settlements reduce the total litigation effort levels, thus curtailing the rent dissipation; (iv) The total litigation effort levels increase if the conflicts result in trials rather than settlements.

For the enhancement of structural safety of thermally damaged reinforced concrete structure, rapid evaluation of damage in the structure is very important. This study addresses a simplified method which is equivalent to the standard fire curve (ISO 834) for the residual bond strength evaluation. In the proposed method, a exposure duration as well as the maximum temperature can be considered. For the comparisons with conventional methods, concrete properties obtained from the report of Daegu subway fire accident were referred and the results support the applicability of the proposed method in this study.

주요한 화력 및 기동장비의 양적 통제에 양측이 합의하더라도 과거 40여년간 누적된 상호불신으로 인해 군사력감축은 장기간에 걸쳐 점진적으로 단계적으로 추진되지 않을수 없을 것이다. 그러나 더욱 중요한 사실은 남북한의 군비통제합의가 곧 정치적 화해와 진정한 협력을 의미하지 않는다는 점이다. 이와 같이 진정한 화해와 협력이 정착되지 않는한 양적인 군비통제하에서도 남북한간에는 정치 및 군사적 경쟁이 지속될 것이며, 첨단기술을 활용한 군사장비의 질적 개선경쟁이 심화될 것이다
