The reinforced concrete(RC) flexural members strengthened with steel plate/CFS at soffit have initial stresses and strains in reinforcements and concrete caused by the service loads at the time of retrofitting works. These initial residual stresses and strains of strengthened beams may affect the flexural performance of the rehabilitated beams. The objective of this study is to evaluate and verify the effectiveness of rehabilitation by external bonded steel plates and CFS to the tension face of the beams under three conditions of pre-loading. Thirteen beam specimens are tested and analyzed. Main test parameters are pre-loading conditions, strengthening materials and reinforcement ratio of specimens. The effect of test parameters on the strengthened beams is analyzed from the maximum load capacity, load-deflection relationship, state of stress of the materials. crack propagation phase, and failure modes. Both test results and design formulas of ACI Code provisions are compared and evaluated.

In this research study, the artificial neural networks approach is used to estimate the ultimate shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams with transverse reinforcement. More specifically, surrogate approaches, such as artificial neural network models, have been examined for predicting the shear capacity of concrete beams, based on experimental test results available in the pertinent literature. The comparison of the predicted values with the corresponding experimental ones, as well as with available formulas from previous research studies or code provisions highlight the ability of artificial neural networks to evaluate the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams in a trustworthy and effective manner. Furthermore, for the first time, the (quantitative) values of weights for the proposed neural network model, are provided, so that the proposed model can be readily implemented in a spreadsheet and accessible to everyone interested in the procedure of simulation.

집중하중을 받는 단순지지 철근콘크리트 깊은 보를 대상으로 콘크리트의 압축강도, 전단스팬비, 웨브 수직 및 수평 보강철근비를 변수로 하여 깊은 보의 구조거동과 전단강도를 실험적으로 조사하였으며, 각 변수의 영향을 고찰하고 규준식 및 제안식 등과 비교, 검토하였다. 42개의 시험체를 실험한 결과, 모든 시험체는 전단스팬 내에서 콘크리트의 과도한 균열 및 압괴에 의해 파괴되었고, 시험체의 초기강성은 압축강도에 관계없이 전단 스팬비가 작을수록 크게 나타났으며, 경사균열 발생 이후 보의 강성이 점진적으로 감소되었다. 전단스팬비가 증가함에 따라 경사균열 및 최대하중은 일정하게 감소하며, 콘크리트 압축강도가 증가할수록 최대하중은 증가하나 경사균열 하중은 거의 변화가 없었고, 전단스팬비의 증가에 따라 콘크리트의 압축강도가 전단강도에 미치는 영향 또한 일정하게 감소하는 것으로 보인다. 웨브의 전단보강근 효과는 전단스팬비의 영향을 받으며, 전단스팬비가 작아지면 수평보강근의 효과가, 전단스팬비가 커지면 수직보강근의 효과가 상대적으로 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 실험결과와 비교하여, 이론식은 de Paiva의 제안식이, 규준식은 CIRIA guide가 실험결과에 가장 부합하는 것으로 나타났으며, 국내 규준식은 실험값에 비해 상당히 낮은 강도로 계산되고 있어 안전 측에 있는 것으로 판단된다.

현행 AASHTO 및 AASHTO LRFD 설계기준에는 차선하중에 대한 윤하중분포폭을 차륜하중에 적용되는 윤하중분포폭의 2배를 적용하도록 규정하고 있다. 이에 반해 국내 도로교 표준시방서에는 차선하중에 대한 윤하중분포폭의 규정은 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 연속 철근콘크리트 슬래브 교량에 대한 윤하중분포폭에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 연속슬래브 교량의 윤하중분포폭에 영향을 미치는 인자들로는 지간길이, 교량폭, 단부보 및 지점조건이 있다. 이들 각 인자들에 대한 유한 요소 모델의 구성 및 해석을 통하여 연속 철근콘크리트 슬래브 교량의 합리적인 윤하중분포폭의 식을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 윤하중분포폭의 식은 현행 도로교 표준시방서에 제시되어 있지 않은 철근콘크리트 연속 슬래브 교량의 보다 정확한 설계 및 합리적인 내하력 산정시 매우 효율적으로 사용될 것으로 사료된다.

Although there are many commercially available training software programs for pharmacokinetics, they lack flexibility and convenience. In this study, we develop simulation software to facilitate pharmacokinetics education. General formulas for time courses of drug concentrations after single and multiple dosing were used to build source code that allows users to simulate situations tailored to their learning objectives. A mathematical relationship for a 1-compartment model was implemented in the form of differential equations. The concept of population pharmacokinetics was also taken into consideration for further applications. The source code was written using R. For the convenience of users, two types of software were developed: a web-based simulator and a standalone-type application. The application was built in the JAVA language. We used the JAVA/R Interface library and the 'eval()' method from JAVA for the R/JAVA interface. The final product has an input window that includes fields for parameter values, dosing regimen, and population pharmacokinetics options. When a simulation is performed, the resulting drug concentration time course is shown in the output window. The simulation results are obtained within 1 minute even if the population pharmacokinetics option is selected and many parameters are considered, and the user can therefore quickly learn a variety of situations. Such software is an excellent candidate for development as an open tool intended for wide use in Korea. Pharmacokinetics experts will be able to use this tool to teach various audiences, including undergraduates.

In this paper, we develop space-time(ST) Rake receivers for Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access(TD-SCDMA) base stations(BS). The beamforming of BS transforms the uplink MIMO channel space into many sub-sectors' channels to be nearly orthogonal, thus, well established 1-D Rake technology can be used to TD-SCDMA base station to construct ST Rake, which simplified the system's implementation as well as enlarged users' capacity by the beamforming. The construction and capacity of MIMO sub-sectors by multi-beamforming have been presented. The proposed ST Rake algorithm include the multi-beamforming algorithm for MIMO sub-sectors and classical 1-D Rake algorithm. The calculating formulas for interference plus noise ratio(SINR) and bit error rate(BER) have been derived. Simulations verify that the proposed ST Rake receiver for BS is effective, and the BS systems can get higher system capacity and can be of better performance than presented TD-SCDMA systems.

The high strength materials have been more widely used in reinforced concrete structures because of the benefits of the mechanical and durable properties. Generally, it is known that the ductility decreases with an increase in the strength of the materials. In the design of a reinforced concrete beam, both the flexural strength and ductility need to be considered. Especially, when a reinforced concrete structure may be subjected an earthquake, the members need to have a sufficient ductility. So, each design code has specified to provide a consistent level of minimum flexural ductility in seismic design of concrete structures. Therefore, it is necessary to assess accurately the ductility of the beam sections with high strength materials in order to ensure the ductility requirement in design. In this study, the effects of concrete strength, yield strength of reinforcement steel and amount of reinforcement including compression reinforcement on the complete moment-curvature behavior and the curvature ductility factor of doubly reinforcement concrete beam sections have been evaluated and a newly prediction formula for curvature ductility factor of doubly RC beam sections has been developed considering the stress of compression reinforcement at ultimate state. Based on the numerical analysis results, the proposed predictions for the curvature ductility factor are verified by comparisons with other prediction formulas. The proposed formula offers fairly accurate and consistent predictions for curvature ductility factor of doubly reinforced concrete beam sections.

An analysis framework for vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction system under turbulent wind is proposed based on the relevant theory of wind engineering and dynamics. Considering the fluctuating properties of wind field, the stochastic wind velocity time history is simulated by the Auto-Regressive method in terms of power spectral density function of wind field. The bridge is represented by three-dimensional finite element model and the vehicle by a multi-rigid-body system connected by springs and dashpots. The detailed calculation formulas of unsteady aerodynamic forces on bridge and vehicle are derived. In addition, the form selection of wind barriers, which are applied as the windbreak measures of newly-built railways in northwest China, is studied based on the suggested evaluation index, and the suitable values about height and porosity rate of wind barriers are studied. By taking a multi-span simply-supported box-girder bridge as a case study, the dynamic response of the bridge and the running safety indices of the train traveling on the bridge with and without wind barriers are calculated. The limit values of train speed with respect to different wind velocities are proposed according to the allowance values in the design code.

Piles are structural elements made of steel, concrete or timber, and utilize as pile foundation which is one of deep foundations. Driven pile among them, which drives pile into the ground, is fast-constructable, less expensive and it supplies much bearing capacity. For these reasons, its demand is steady. In this study, by selecting the cases which reached ultimate failure during in-situ static loading tests, bearing capacities acquired from these tests were compared with those computed by existing theories and formula. As the results of the analysis, ultimate bearing capacity computed by theoretic formula were less or similar to those of test results in most cases, but lower ground water level and more dense layer where end of piles were reached remarkably high bearing capacity in theoretical methods. ${\beta}-method$ and Korean structure foundation design standard were sensitive to ground physical properties. Meyerhof metbod and API code were relatively independent from site condition.
