구형 관입시험에 의한 얼음의 균열을 연구 하였다. $-10^{circ}C$에서 S2 기둥얼음의 시편(152mm X 152mm X 152mm)에 stainless 강으로 된 구(지름 25.4mm)로 하중을 가하였다. 구형indentor는 얼음 시편의 장축인 기둥방향에 수직으로 하중을 가하였으며 이때 변위율은 0.038mm/s로 하여 단조증가 하중 시험을 하였다. 하중을 가하기 시작하면 indentor 하부에서 crushing 이 발생하고, 하중이 증가함에 따라서 방사선 균열 또는 횡균열이 성장하여 splitting 또는 spallation이 발생하였다. 단조증가 하중 때와 동일한 indentor를 사용하여 하중 및 비하중율 0.5KN/s로 맥박하중을 가할 때 이들 방사선 균열 및 횡 균열이 발생 성장하였다. 첫 맥박 하중의 크기는 1KN으로 하고 그 뒤 계속 이어지는 시험은 맥박 하중의 크기를 증가시킨 뒤 행하였으며 균열 길이는 맥박과 맥박 사이에서 계측 하였다. 기타 취성고체에서 관찰 되었던 것과 같이 방사선 균열 및 측면균열의 길이는 impression 반지름과 하나의 지수법칙이 성립함을 보여주었다.

Welding is a reliable process and is mainly adopted for fabricating heavy structures. Recently, transverse cracks in the weld metal is serious problem, and they affect cost, efficiency, safety and joint reliability for various welded structures. In this view of point, this study investigated the potential factors for weld metal transverse crack. The main results obtained are as follows; 1) The content of diffusible hydrogen in the commercial flux cored are welding wire was remarkable change by manufacturer. 2) The diffusible hydrogen content was thd main factor for weld metal transverse cracks. 3) Weld metal was immune to transverse cracking under the condition of low diffusible hydrogen content of high restraint condition. 4) The factors for weld metal transverse crack would be the content of diffusible hydrogen and restraint of weld joint.

Eight direct tension tests were conducted to study the bond characteristics and crack behavior in high-strength concrete axial members. The main variable was the concrete strength up to 61-63 MPa. The specimens consisted of two different types of the short specimens modeled the part between transverse cracks and the long specimens having numerous transverse cracks. The results obtained show that the bond strength increases in proportion to compressive strength. Thereby, in high-strength concrete the length of stress-disturbed region is shortened and the space of adjacent transverse cracks become smaller. Although the concrete strength varies from 25 MPa to 61 MPa, the split cracking loads remain constant, while transverse cracking loads vary as variation of concrete tensile strength. Accordingly, the current code provisions for development length may need reconsideration in high-strength concrete members, and it is recommended that either thicker cover or transverse reinforcement should be additionally provided for high-strength concrete members.

Very-early strength latex-modified concrete(below ; VES-LMC) was developed for possible early-opening-to-traffic after overlay of bridge deck concrete. The purpose of this study is to analyze the cause of map, transverse and longitudinal cracking in VES-LMC and to provide a control method for minimizing occurrence of cracking. The proposed prevention method against map and transverse cracking was verified by field data. VES cement was modified as the unit cement content was reduced from 390kg/$m^3$ to 360kg/$m^3$. The maximum size of coarse aggregate was increased from 13mm to 19mm. The wire mesh and steel fiber were adopted in concrete mixture. From the results, the proposed prevention method against map and transverse cracking was verified since structural cracking was not occurred until 3 years after overlay.

본 연구는 횡방향 TIG 용접된 Al6013-T4 알루미늄 합금 용접부의 피로균열전파거동에 미치는 용접후열처리(PWHT)의 영향을 조사하는 것이 주목적이다. 기초적으로 인장시험, 경도 및 미세조직이 조사되었으며, 피로균열전파거동을 고찰하기 위한 피로 시험은 모두 중앙균열인장(CCT) 시험편에 대하여 수행되었다. T82열처리에 있어서 시효시간은 피로균열전파율, 인장강도 및 경도에 대단히 민감함을 나타내었으며, 모재와 열영향부재의 경우가 용접재보다 기계적 성질이 우수하였다. 횡방향 TIG 용접한 Al6013-T4 시험재의 용접후열처리 조건에 따라서 피로균열전파 저항에는 차이가 나타났으며, 본 실험의 조건하에서 24시간 인공시효 PWHT-82 시험편이 피로균열전파 저항이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다.

The restrained volume changes of concrete due to variations of temperature and moisture produce transverse cracks in continuously reinforced concrete tracks (CRCTs). Such cracks are known to significantly affect the behaviors and long-term performance of CRCT. To investigate the effects of the transverse cracks on the behavior of CRCT and to develop more reasonable maintenance standards for cracks, in this study, the stress distribution of the track concrete layers (TCL) and the hydraulically stabilized base course (HSB) with transverse cracks were numerically predicted by a three dimensional finite element analysis when CRCT was subjected to train loads. The results indicate that the bending stresses of TCL and vertical stresses at the interfaces between TCL and HSB increased as the cracks were deepened. In addition, vertical stresses were locally concentrated near reinforcing steel in cracks in TCL when full-depth cracks developed, which may lead to punch-outs in CRCTs. Comparably, the effects of crack width and spacing were not as significant as crack depth. This study indicates that ensuring the long-term performance of CRCTs requires adequate maintenance not only for crack width and spacing but also for crack depth. Our results also show that locating HSB joints between sleepers is beneficial to the long-term performance of CRCTs.

Welding is widely applicable and reliable process and is mainly adopted for fabricating heavy structures. Recently, weld metal transverse cracks in butt and fillet weld joint is a serious problem, and they must be eliminated for improving weld joint reliability. The weld metal transverse crack susceptibility of butt and fillet joint was carried out by cantilever type tensile crack testing jig and CTS test. In this view of point, this study investigated the potential factors for weld metal transverse crack. The main results obtained were as follows: 1. The content o fdiffusible hydrogen in weld metal played an important role for weld metal transverse cracks. 2. From cantilever type tensile crack tests, it was pointed out that the higher the diffusible hydrogen content and tensile restraint, the more susceptible to weld metal transverse craking. 3. The TSN(thermal severity number) and diffusible hydrogen were important factors for determining weld metal transverse cracks in fillet weld joints.

The stress intensity factors for edge cracks located at the bonding interface between the semiconductor chip and the adhesive layer subjected to a uniform transverse tensile strain are investigated. Such cracks might be generated due to a stress singularity in the vicinity of the free surface. The boundary element method (BEM) is employed to investigate the behavior of interface stresses. The amplitude of complex stress intensity factor depends on the crack length, but it has a constant value at large crack lengths. The rapid propagation of interface crack is expected if the transverse tensile strain reaches a critical value.

Pocheon, Keochang and Sangju granite samples of different granularity and mineralogical composition were thermally treated at pre-determined temperature of $600^{\circ}C$. Thermally-induced microcracks were characterized using an optical microscopy and their effects on the deformation behavior of thermally cycled samples were studied performing compressive mechanical tests. Optical observations shows that by $600^{\circ}C$ nearlly all crystal boundaries open and the new intracrystalline cracks form in the more grains. The intracrystalline cracks are most pronounced at thermally treated Pocheon and Keochang granite samples. Results from mechanical tests represents negative lateral strains, which give negative Poisson's ratios. It is the most probable that negative lateral strains are produced by residual stresses induced during cooling.
