The use of prestressed concrete box girder bridges built by segmentally balanced cantilevers has bloomed in the last decades due to its significant structural and construction advantages in complex topographies. In Colombia, this typology is the most common solution for structures with spans ranging of 80-200 m. Despite its popularity, excessive deflections in bridges worldwide evidenced that time-dependent effects were underestimated. This problem has led to the constant updating of the creep and shrinkage models in international code standards. Differences observed between design processes of box girder bridges of the Colombian code and Eurocode, led to the need for a validation of in-service status of these structures. This study analyzes the long-term behavior of the Tablazo bridge with data scarcity. The measured leveling of this structure is compared with a finite-element model that consider the most widely used creep and shrinkage models in the literature. Finally, an adjusted model evidence excessive deflection on the bridge after six years. Monitoring of this bridge typology in Colombia and updating of the current design code is recommended.

We classify rotation sampling designs into two classes. The first class replaces sample units within the same rotation group while the second class replaces sample units between different rotation groups. The first class is specified by the three-way balanced design which is a multi-level version of previous balanced designs. We introduce an extended generalized composite estimator (EGCE) and derive its variance and mean squared error for each of the two classes of design, cooperating two types of correlations and three types of biases. Unbiased estimators are derived for difference between interview time biases, between recall time biases, and between rotation group biases. Using the variance and mean squared error, since any rotation design belongs to one of the two classes and the EGCE is a most general estimator for rotation design, we evaluate the efficiency of EGCE to simple weighted estimator and the effects of levels, design gaps, and rotation patterns on variance and mean squared error.

The quality of performance evaluation on engineering consultants that provide design-related technical services is difficult to be measured, and only a handful of papers discussed the quality during the design stage. Although design cost is relatively far less than construction cost for a project, the decisions made in the design phase have a significant impact on the final products of the project, especially for large public construction projects. Therefore, this research focuses on reviewing and then establishing a performance evaluation framework for the consulting firms that execute detailed design and provide technical services for the Taipei Rapid Transit Systems (TRTS). By interviewing experts, this study first established a set of indicators to evaluate these firms' performance. Then, those indicators were incorporated into the four aspects of balanced scorecard (BSC) to establish the architecture of the evaluation mechanism. The weight of each indicator was calculated by analytic hierarchy process (AHP) from a survey conducted among experts. The results showed that the top-three indicators were quantity take-off, functions conformity, and budgeting. The framework of performance evaluation established by this study can be applied to measure service performance during the design stage. It not only facilitates the monitoring of consulting firms, but also helps to reduce unnecessary change orders and disputes during the construction stage.

집적광학 $Ti:LiNbO_3\;1{\times}2$ Y-fed Balanced-Bridge 마하젠더 간섭기(YBB-MZI) 구조에 다이폴 패치 아테나를 적용해서 $1.3{\mu}m$ 파장대역에서 동작하는 전계센서를 구현하였다. BPM 전산모사를 통해서 소자 설계 및 동작성능을 검증하였고, $1.3{\mu}m$ 파장대역에서 ~16.6 V 스위칭전압과 이에 대응해서 소멸비는 ~14.7 dB로 측정되었다. 10 MHz, 50 MHz 각각의 주파수에서 감지 가능한 최소 전계는 1.12 V/m, 3.3 V/m로 측정 되었으며, 이에 대응되는 각 주파수에서 ~22 dB, ~18 dB의 다이나믹 범위가 측정되었다. 제작된 센서는 0.29~29.8 V/m 범위의 전계세기에 대해서 선형응답 특성을 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 블록의 크기와 반복수가 동일한 이항계획인 경우 동반수 h($h\geq2$)을 갖는 가장 균형된 계획은 (M,S)-최적계획임을 보인다. 동반수가 3이상인 경우는 배치계획을 작성하기가 매우 힘들기 때문에 기존의 PBIBD(3)의 배치계획들 중에서 동반수 3을 갖는 가장 균형된 배치계획들만을 조사하였다.

Designing the capacitor-run motor for balanced operation is accompanied with the excessive capacitor value and low capacitor terminal voltage of condenser. As a solution for this problems, It was reported the design by equal volt-ampere method. The running characteristics of capacitor-run motor by this method due to the balancing point selection, however, has a room to be studied further. This paper deals with the determination of the winding ratio and capacitor value of a permarient-split capacitor motor by balanced operation and equal volt-ampere method at the different load points. The analysis of the running characteristics of a motor and its designing method also presented for both cases. It concluded that the running characteristics due to the equal volt-ampere operation are very close to the balanced operation.

A balanced dual-band bandpass filter based on ${\lambda}$/2 stepped-impedance resonators and open-loop resonators is proposed in this letter. By employing a type of self-feedback structure, an extra transmission zero is introduced near the common-mode resonance frequency, and the common-mode signal is suppressed. The measured results indicate that the filter can operate in 2.46 GHz and 5.6 GHz bands, and the insertion loss is 1.85 dB and 1.9 dB, respectively. Also, better common-mode suppression is achieved.

Almost all injection molds have multi-cavity runner system for mass production, which are designed with geometrically balanced runner system in order to accomplish filling balance between cavity to cavity during processing. However, even though geometrically balanced runner is used, filling imbalance have been observed. Filling imbalance could be decreased by modifying processing conditions such as injections rate, mold temperature, injection pressure, melt temperature that are related to shear, viscosity. In this study, a series of experiment was conducted to investigate filling imbalance variation when modifying runner layout and polymer and to determine which processing condition influences as the primary cause of filling imbalance in geometrically balanced runner system.

In this paper, a DBM(double balanced mixer) of 2 GHz is implemented on FR4(h=1.6mm, ${\epsilon}_r=4.6$) substrate. The structure of double balanced mixer requires, in general, two talons and a quad diode. For balun, a novel planar balun using microstrip to CPS(Coplanar Strip) is suggested and designed. The suggested balun shows the phase imbalance of $180^{\circ}{\pm}1.5^{\circ}$ and the amplitude imbalance of ${\pm}0.2 dB$ for 1.5 to 2.5 GHz. Using the balun, DBM is successfully implemented, and the measured conversion loss of up/down converter show about 6 dB over the bandwidth. The balun may be applicable for MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) DBM with the process supporting backside via though more study.
