  • Based on 53 quantitative samples collected in April (23 stations) and August (30 stations) of 1993, the species composition, distribution and abundance of macrobenthic invertebrates and bottom characteristics in Chonsu Bay were conducted. Bottom sediments consisted of mud at the close to the dyke, sandymud in the central bay, and coarse sand in the mouth of the bay. A total of 273 species (177 species in April and 200 species in August) were identified. Mean density per sampling station was 480 ind./m$^2$ in April and 1126 ind./m$^2$ in August, respectively. Number of species and densities decreased in the northern part of the bay. The macrobenthos showed a temporal difference in species composition, range of distribution, and community delimitation caused by larval settling. Although during the settling period in summer, large numbers of juveniles added in most of regions, unrelated to environmental conditions, but, successful recruitment may has been a rare event locally Theora fragilis (bivalve), Lumbrineris longifolia(polychaete), Neptys oligobranchia (polychaete) were numerically dominant, but their densities varied seasonally. Community structures of macrobenthos in Chonsu Bay were affected by several bottom environmental conditions, related to tidal current speed, regionally.

  • For a ground plane in high-temperature superconducting ramp-edge junction devices, YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-{\delta}}$/SrTiO$_3$/YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-{\delta}}$ multilayer structures were fabricated using pulsed laser deposition and ECR ion milling. Various process parameters were adjusted to enhance the device characteristics. By etching the STO layer to form a tapered edge of about 15$^{\circ}$ and in-situ RF plasma treatment of bottom YBCO surface prior to deposition of top YBCO, the top-to-bottom YBCO showed T$_c$ of 75${\sim}$80 K and I$_c$ of about 40 mA through holes. It was found that the deposition of bottom YBCO at a reduced laser repetition rate of 1Hz increased the T$_c$ of top YBCO to 79.9 K. The resistivity of 570 layer was about 10$^6$ ${\Omega}$cm at 60 K, which ensures good electrical isolation between successive YBCO layers.

  • Aiming at studying the plastic hinge (PH) evolution regularities and failure mode of rocking wall moment frame (RWMF) structure in earthquakes, the whole-working history analysis of seismic performance state of RWMF structure based on co-operation performance and PH evolution was carried out. Building upon the theoretical analysis of the elastic internal forces and deformations of RWMF structures, nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) methods were employed to perform both Pushover analysis and seismic response time history analysis under different seismic coefficients (δ). The relationships among PH occurrence ratios (Rph), inter-story drifts and δ were established. Based on the plotted curve of the seismic performance states, evaluation limits for the Rph and inter-story drifts were provided for different performance states of RWMF structures. The results indicate that the Rph of RWMF structures exhibits a nonlinear evolution trend of "fast at first, then slow" with the increasing of δ. The general pattern is characterized by the initial development of beam hinges in the middle stories, followed by the development towards the top and bottom stories until the beam hinges are fully formed. Subsequently, the development of column hinges shifts from the bottom and top stories towards the middle stories of the structure, ultimately leading to the loss of seismic lateral capacity with a failure mode of partial beam yield, demonstrating a global yielding pattern. Moreover, the limits for the Rph and inter-story drifts effectively evaluate the five different performance states of RWMF structures.

  • Recently, the method of the apartment building design has been changed from wall type structures to rahmen structures. With like this reason, dry walls are used plentifully. Especially, the gypsum board was used from previously plentifully however the weak point of it is difficult to maintain because it weak strength. For the improvement of gypsum board, light weight concrete panel using cement board is used recently. As this study is the research of the series t on the development of non-bearing light weight concrete panel using bottom ash, the purpose of this study is to obtain basic data for application in the field. The results are as follows. structure 1 satisfy domestic standard concerned with sound insulation between households at the laboratory and field test.

  • The sources of the vibration of railway vehicles in the cabin are usually bogie, axle, and wheel. The vibrations are transmitted through the floor structures of railway vehicle. The floor structure is the combination of bottom plate, plywood, and rubber. In this research the vibration transmission is measured experimentally and analyzed numerically to find the transmission characteristics of the vehicle floor structures. The result shows that the vibration characteristic of soft rubber is better than hard rubber or wood as the connecting material between the bottom plate and the plywood.

  • The finite element technique incorporating infinite elements is applied to analyzing the general three dimensional wave-structure interaction problems within the limits of linear wave theory. The hydrodynamic farces are assumed to be inertially dominated, and viscous effects are neglected. In order to analyze the corresponding boundary value problems efficiently, two types of elements are developed. One is the infinite element for modeling the radiation condition at infinity, and the other is the fictitious bottom boundary element for the case of deep water. To validate those elements, numerical analyses are performed for several floating structures. Comparisons with the results from culler available solution methods show that the present method incorporating tile infinite and the fictitious bottom boundary elements gives good results.

  • The steel-concrete double composite girder in the negative flexural region combines an additional concrete slab to the steel bottom flange to prevent the local steel buckling, however, the additional concrete slab may lower down the neutral axis of the composite section, which is a sensitive factor to the tensile stress restraint on the concrete deck. This is actually of great importance to the structural rationality and durability, but has not been investigated in detail yet. In this case, a series of 5.5 m-long composite girder specimens were tested by negative bending, among which the bottom slab configuration and the longitudinal reinforcement ratio in the concrete deck were the parameters. Furthermore, an analytical study concerning about the influence of bottom concrete slab thickness on the cracking and sectional bending-carrying capacity were carried out. The test results showed that the additional concrete at the bottom improved the composite sectional bending stiffness and bending-carrying capacity, whereas its effect on the concrete crack distribution was not obvious. According to the analytical study, the additional concrete slab at the bottom with an equivalent thickness to the concrete deck slab may provide the best contributions to the improvements of crack initiation bending moment and the sectional bending-carrying capacity. This can be applied for the design practice.

  • The predominant type of buckling that I-steel concrete composite beams experience in the negative moment area is distortional buckling. The key factors that affect distortional buckling are the torsional and lateral restraints by the bottom flange. This study thoroughly investigates the equivalent lateral and torsional restraint stiffnesses of the bottom flange of an I-steel concrete composite beam under negative moments. The results show a coupling effect between the applied forces and the lateral and torsional restraint stiffnesses of the bottom flange. A formula is proposed to calculate the critical buckling stress of the I-steel concrete composite beams under negative moments by considering the lateral and torsional restraint stiffnesses of the bottom flange. The proposed method is shown to better predict the critical bending moment of the I-steel composite beams. This article introduces an improved method to calculate the elastic foundation beams, which takes into account the lateral and torsional restraint stiffnesses of the bottom flange and considers the coupling effect between them. The results show a close match in results from the calculation method proposed in this paper and the ANSYS finite element method, which validates the proposed calculation method. The proposed calculation method provides a theoretical basis for further research on distortional buckling and the ultimate resistance of I-steel concrete composite beams under a variable axial force.
