Reinforced concrete buildings constitute the majority of the building stock of Turkey and much of them, do not comply the earthquake codes. Recently there is a great tendency for strengthening to heal their earthquake performance. The performance evaluations are usually executed by the numerical investigations performed in computer packages. However, the numerical models are often far from representing the real behaviour of the existing buildings. In this condition, experimental modal analysis fills a gap to correct the numerical models to be used in further analysis. On the other hand, there have been a few dynamic tests performed on the existing reinforced concrete buildings. Especially forced vibration survey is not preferred due to the inherent difficulties, high cost and probable risk of damage. This study applies both ambient and forced vibration surveys to investigate the dynamic properties of a six-story residential building in Istanbul. Mode shapes, modal frequencies and damping ration were determined. Later on numerical analysis with finite element method was performed. Based on the first three modes of the building, a model updating strategy was employed. The study enabled to compare the results of ambient and forced vibration surveys and check the accuracy of the numerical models used for the performance evaluation of the reinforced concrete buildings.

The main purpose of this study is to provide the information of soot generation of toluene fuel droplet. To achieve this, this paper provides the experimental results on the different initial diameter of toluene droplet combustion characteristics conducted under equivalent ambient pressure ($P_{amb}$) and oxygen concentration ($O_2$) conditions. Visualization of single fuel droplet was performed with high resolution CCD camera and visualization system. At the same time, ambient pressure ($P_{amb}$) and oxygen concentration ($O_2$) were maintained by ambient condition control system. Soot volume fraction ($f_v$) was analyzed and compared on the basis of intensity ratio ($I/I_0$) of background image. The result of soot generation was almost the same regardless of initial droplet diameter since thermophoretic flux is not much changed under the same ambient conditions. Soot standoff ratio (SSR) of 2 mm diameter showed unstable variation characteristics due to the short available measuring time.

A heat transfer correlation to predict the vaporization of a water droplet in highly superheated steam during a loss-of-coolant accident(LOCA) of a nuclear power plant is provided. Vaporization of liquid fuel or water droplets in superheated air or steam and subsequent interface heat transfer between a liquid droplet and superheated gas is typically correlated by way of a Nusselt number as a function of Reynolds number, Prantl number, and in some cases including mass transfer number. Presently available correlations and experimental data of the evaporation of liquid droplets in air or steam are analyzed and a new Nusselt number correlation is proposed taking Schmidt number into consideration in order to account for binary diffusion of the vapor as well, Nu$\_$f/(1+B)$\^$0.7/=2+0.53Sc$\_$f/$\^$-1/5/Re$\_$M/$\^$$\sfrac{1}{2}$/Pr$\_$f/$\^$$\sfrac{1}{3}$/ for which properties are evaluated at film condition except the density of Reynolds number evaluated at ambient condition. Diverse correlations for various combinations of liquid and gas species are put into single equation. The blowing correction factor of (1+B)$\^$0.7/ is confirmed appropriate, and a criterion to distinguish so-called high- and low-temperature condition of ambient gas is set forth.

이 연구에서는 외기와의 열전달을 나타내는 외기대류계수에 관한 실험을 실시하였다. 외기대류계수에 관한 기존의 모델에서 나타났던 문제점을 해결하기 위해 실험 변수로 풍속외에 양생 조건의 종류(양생포, 양생포+비닐), 외기온도, 비등효과를 선정하였다. 실험 결과를 이용하여 외기대류계수를 산정하고자 열평형 방정식을 이용한 수치해법을 사용하였으며, 이론적인 고찰을 통해 각 양생 조건별로 풍속에 따른 외기대류계수의 변화를 예측할 수 있는 모델식을 제안하였다. 열평형 방정식을 이용한 수치해법에서 초기에 외기대류계수가 과잉평가되는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 비등효과에 의한 증발량을 고려하여 수정 열평형 방정식을 제안하였다. 양생 조건을 고려한 제안된 모델식에 의하면, 모든 경우에 풍속에 따라 외기대류계수가 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 양생 재료의 사용여부나 양생 조건에 따라 다른 양상을 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 양상의 차이는 양생 재료의 열 특성에 의해 결정되는 것으로 외기대류계수는 양생 재료가 없는 경우, 양생포를 사용한 경우, 양생포+비닐을 사용한 경우의 순으로 풍속의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 제안된 모델식을 이용하면 수화열에 의한 콘크리트 구조물의 온도해석시 보다 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 향후 이러한 열특성계수에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The main purposes of this study are to investigate the distributional characteristics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere, and to evaluate the effect of ambient temperature on the vapor-particle partitioning during the sampling period. A total of 64 samples were collected during a period of 1995 to 1996, using a medium-volume sampler with XAD-2 adsorbents and quartz fiber filters. Analyses of PAH were carried out using HPLC with UV and Fluorescence detections. In this study, a significant seasonal variation in the distributions was observed, reflecting the effect of ambient temperature on the vapor-particle partitioning of PAH. The relationship between the vapor-particle distributions of the 3 to 5 rings PAH and ambient temperature is considered to be well described using the Langmuir adsorption concept. The estimated empirical constants for each PAH in the relationship, particularly for the more volatile compounds, were also comparable with results from other studies. However, it is still difficult to accurately estimate the initial vapor-particle distribution of PAH in the ambient air, since it is not known to what extent the trapped vapours originated from the particles laden in the filter by being volatilized or from the air samples initially present in the vapour phase. The distribution factors for volatile PAH with 3 to 4 rings appeared to be comparable with those in the literature. It should be noted, however, that these distribution factors give information only about the distribution of PAH between the two phases under a specific sampling condition, and hence may provide only semi -quantitative information on the vapor-particle distributions in the atmosphere.

상시미동의 수직성분에 대한 수평성분 스펙트럼비(HVSR)는 부지 공명주파수를 파악하는데 활발히 사용되고 있다. HVSR의 가장 큰 비율을 가지는 주파수는 부지 공명주파수와 일치한다. 상시미동은 부지 주변에 존재하는 미세진동을 의미하기 때문에 직접적인 진동원을 파악할 수 없으며, 또한 조절할 수 없다. 따라서 신뢰적인 상시미동 HVSR을 구하기 위해서는 상시미동 측정에 충분한 시간적 여유와 주변 환경의 파악 또한 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 신뢰적인 HVSR 분석에 필요한 상시미동 측정 최소시간과 지진계와 인위적인 진동 사이의 이격거리의 영향을 알아보았다. 토사 부지의 경우 센서 설치 후 5분 이내에 안정화가 되었으나, 암반 부지의 경우 안정화까지 1시간 이상이 소요되었다. 또한 상시미동 관측 시 발걸음 진동이 지진계 10 m 이내에 존재할 경우 HVSR결과에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 현장에서 상시미동의 HVSR측정에 필요한 가이드라인을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents the results of finite element analysis for the effects of hydrostatic test and operating condition on the weld residual stress at dissimilar metal weld of a pressurizer safety nozzle in a nuclear power plant. For the study, the weld residual stress at ambient condition was analyzed using ABAQUS in the first place. After the weld residual stress analysis, the hydrostatic test condition and operating condition was applied to the same model one after another. The weld residual stress was observed to change due to the successive hydrostatic test and operating condition. The axial residual stresses on inner surface of the dissimilar metal weld and HAZ region were decreased by hydrostatic test and operating condition, which gives beneficial effect on preventing primary water stress corrosion cracking.

Modal identification based on ambient vibration data has attracted extensive attention in the past few decades. Since the excitation for ambient vibration tests is mainly from the environmental effects such as wind and traffic loading and no artificial excitation is applied, the signal to noise (s/n) ratio of the data acquired plays an important role in mode identifiability. Under ambient vibration conditions, certain modes may not be identifiable due to a low s/n ratio. This paper presents a study on the mode identifiability of an instrumented cable-stayed bridge with the use of acceleration response data measured by a long-term structural health monitoring system. A recently developed fast Bayesian FFT method is utilized to perform output-only modal identification. In addition to identifying the most probable values (MPVs) of modal parameters, the associated posterior uncertainties can be obtained by this method. Likewise, the power spectral density of modal force can be identified, and thus it is possible to obtain the modal s/n ratio. This provides an efficient way to investigate the mode identifiability. Three groups of data are utilized in this study: the first one is 10 data sets including six collected under normal wind conditions and four collected during typhoons; the second one is three data sets with wind speeds of about 7.5 m/s; and the third one is some blind data. The first two groups of data are used to perform ambient modal identification and help to estimate a critical value of the s/n ratio above which the deficient mode is identifiable, while the third group of data is used to perform verification. A couple of fundamental modes are identified, including the ones in the vertical and transverse directions respectively and coupled in both directions. The uncertainty and s/n ratio of the deficient mode are investigated and discussed. A critical value of the modal s/n ratio is suggested to evaluate the mode identifiability of the deficient mode. The work presented in this paper could provide a base for the vibration-based condition assessment in future.
