An experimental study was performed on the pull-out behavior of 90-deg standard hooks from exterior beam-column connections. The effects of lateral confinement and fiber reinforcement of joint area were investigated. It was concluded ; (1) Substitution of the transverse column (confining) reinforcement with steel fibers at the joint region effectively reduces the extent of cracking in exterior joints caused by pull-out of hooked bars; and (2) The strength and ductility of hooked bars under pull-out forces are positively influenced by substituting the conventional confining reinforcement of exterior joints with steel fibers. Application of steel fibers to exterior joints seems to be an effective technique for improving the anchorage conditions of hooked bars, and also for reducing the congestion of reinforcement in exterior beam-column connections.

Description of the behavior of the R.C structural members fixed on massive concrete is not normally generalization of recognized configuration for regular R.C. design guidanes. This can be due to the complexity of evaluation of internal resistancy and deflection changes of the members subjected to the various external forces. On the base of axially loaded member fixed on footing, however, the estimation of deflection changes due to flexural force shear force and rotational force is to be carried out in ways of specifying the bond characteristics of axial bars embedded in massive concrete. This work is to quantify adhesion of steel-concrete, initial concrete cracking stress near bar rib, maximum bond stress and residual stress in concrete respectively. In addition to quantification of them for particulate behavior, the suggestions of multi-linear bond stress-slip diagram made in carrying out finite element analyses for adhesion failure, examining concrete cracking status and reviewing existing experimental data lead to alternatively constructed relationship between bond stress and slip for a axial bars embedded massive concrete.

In this study, an experimental work is conducted to evaluate the bond performance between reinforcing bars and surrounding concrete in a lapped splice. The major variable of this test is a transverse reinforcement in lap-spliced tension reinforcing bars. The test results indicate that the bond strength per unit splice length increases with an increase in the transverse reinforcement factor $K_{\alpha}$. The specimens taken less than (c+$K_{tr}$)/$d_b$=3.0 tend to be very brittle at failure. But the specimens taken longer than (c+$K_{tr}$)/$d_b$=3.0 tend to be somewhat ductile at failure.

The study was carried out to evaluate material characteristics and environmental effects of anti-corrosion inhibitor which is known to be very easy to use, since the admixture is added during concrete mixing. Specimens were fabricate with 6 different dosages of anti-corrosion inhibitor and cured in the autoclave chamber with different number of cycles. As a result of measuring corrosion of reinforcing bars embedded in concrete, it was found that even small amount of admixture application can prevent reinforcing bars from corrosion and the efficiency is gradually decreased with increase of the number of autoclave cycles and of percentage of chloride content. In addition, the admixture will not affect material characteristics such as compressive strength and air content.

Until recently tensile stresses in concrete have not been considered, since it does not affect the ultimate strength of reinforced concrete flexural members significantly. However, to verify the load-deflection relationship, the effect of tensile stresses between reinforcing bars and concrete, so-called tension stiffening effect must be taken into account. Main parameters of the tension stiffening behavior are known as concrete strength, and bond between concrete and reinforcing bars. In this study a total of twenty specimen subject to bending was tested with different concrete strength, coverage, and de-bonding length of longitudinal bars. The effects of these parameters on the flexural rigidity, crack initiation and propagation were carefully checked and analyzed.

In this research, 13 RC slabs connected by hinged joints were tested. the new slab was connected to the existing slab by hinge joint injecting dowel bars between two slabs. Main parameters of the slabs were the spacing of the dowel bars (150mm, 300mm, and 450mm) and the locations of the longitudinal reinforcement of the old slab. The test results indicated that the joint strength of the RC test slabs having various types of dowel bars was about twice that calculated by the ACI 318-02 code. The locations of the longitudinal reinforcement of the old slab slightly increased the strength of the slabs connected by hinged joints.

This test program is to investigate the benefits of using headed bars to replace conventional stirrups and using steel fibers to reinforce in the disturbed regions in the dapped ended beam, This distribution of reinforcement was selected for aspects associated with the portion of beam section in bridge structures. The beams containing T-headed bars have a superior performance such as improved ductility, larger energy adsorption and enhanced post-peak load carrying capability. The capacity of DEB with steel fibers also show increase of ductility, shear strength, and crack.

In this study, the effect of thickness of sprayed fireproofing on temperature of main bars under fire test was investigated for high strength concrete member(column) prevented the spalling. The thicknesses of sprayed fireproofing were 0, 10, 20 and 30mm. Test was carried out according to ISO-KS standard temperature-time curve during 3hrs. Based on temperature results of main bars after 3hrs, it appears that the temperatures of the main coner bar are about 400$^{circ}C$ and 500$^{circ}C$, when the thicknesses of sprayed fireproofing are 5mm and 2mm, respectively.

Accelerated aging tests were conducted under laboratory conditions on two generator stator bars. Electrical stress is applied in No. 1 model stator bar. Electrical and thermal stresses are applied in No. 2 model stator bar. As aging times increased from 0 to 4780h, diagnostic tests were performed on No. 1 and No. 2 model stator bars. Diagnostic tests included AC current, dissipation factor(tan$\delta$) and partial discharge magnitude. The ${\Delta}tan{\delta}$ and $\Deta$I of No. 1 and No. 2 model stator bars increased with increased in aging time.

The time harmonics of an inverter output voltage cause high frequency currents in the rotor bars of a squirrel cage induction motor, so that the harmonic copper loss density increases in the upper lesion of the bars. Such an higher loss density makes an nonuniform thermal source and deforms the bars due to the thermal stress. Therefore, in this paper, the copper loss distribution in the rotor bar of an inverter-fed induction motor, which is the source of the thermal stress, is analyzed by the time-stepping finite element method. As a result, the harmonic copper losses of 11 subregions in a bar are calculated and compared with those of sinusoidally fed induction motor.
