  • Reinforced concrete (RC) columns which are the main vertical structural members are exposed to several static and dynamic effects such as earthquake and wind. However, impact loading that is sudden impulsive dynamic one is the most effective loading type acting on the RC columns. Impact load is a kind of impulsive dynamic load which is ignored in the design process of RC columns like other structural members. The behavior of reinforced concrete columns under impact loading is an area of research that is still not well understood; however, work in this area continues to be motivated by a broad range of applications. Examples include reinforced concrete structures designed to resist accidental loading scenarios such as falling rock impact; vehicle or ship collisions with buildings, bridges, or offshore facilities; and structures that are used in high-threat or high-hazard applications, such as military fortification structures or nuclear facilities. In this study, free weight falling test setup is developed to investigate the behavior effects on RC columns under impact loading. For this purpose, eight RC column test specimens with 1/3 scale are manufactured. While drop height and mass of the striker are constant, application point of impact loading, stirrup spacing and concrete compression strength are the experimental variables. The time-history of the impact force, the accelerations of two points and the displacement of columns were measured. The crack patterns of RC columns are also observed. In the light of experimental results, low-velocity impact behavior of RC columns were determined and interpreted. Besides, the finite element models of RC columns are generated using ABAQUS software. It is found out that proposed finite element model could be used for evaluation of dynamic responses of RC columns subjected to low-velocity impact load.

  • Analysing the incompatible deformation and damage evolution around the tunnels in mixed strata is significant for evaluating the tunnel stability, as well as the interaction between the support system and the surrounding rock mass. To investigate this issue, confined compression tests were conducted on upper-soft and lower-hard strata specimens containing a circular hole using a rock testing system, the physical mechanical properties were then investigated. Then, the incompatible deformation and failure modes of the specimens were analysed based on the digital speckle correlation method (DSCM) and Acoustic Emission (AE) data. Finally, numerical simulations were conducted to explore the damage evolution of the mixed strata. The results indicate that at low inclination angles, the deformation and v-shaped notches inside the hole are controlled by the structure plane. Progressive spalling failure occurs at the sidewalls along the structure plane in soft rock. But the transmission of the loading force between the soft rock and hard rock are different in local. At high inclination angles, v-shaped notches are approximately perpendicular to the structure plane, and the soft and hard rock bear common loads. Incompatible deformation between the soft rock and hard rock controls the failure process. At inclination angles of 0°, 30° and 90°, incompatible deformations are closely related to rock damage. At 60°, incompatible deformations and rock damage are discordant due that the soft rock and hard rock alternately bears the major loads during the failure process. The failure trend and modes of the numerical results agree very well with those observed in the experimental results. As the inclination angles increase, the proportion of the shear or tensile damage exhibits a nonlinear increase or decrease, suggesting that the inclination angle of mixed strata may promote shear damage and restrain tensile damage.

  • This paper presents the results of cyclic loading tests on new high-strength concrete (HC) short columns. The seismic performance and deformation capacity of three reinforced high-strength concrete filled Polyvinyl Chloride tube (RHC-PVCT) short columns and one reinforced high-strength concrete (RHC), under pseudo-static tests (PSTs) with vertical axial force was evaluated. The main design parameters of the columns in the tests were the axial compression ratio, confinement type, concrete strength, height-diameter ratio of PVCT. The failure modes, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves of short columns were presented and analyzed. Placing PVCT in the RHC column could be remarkably improved the ultimate strength and energy dissipation of columns. However, no fiber element models have been formulated for computing the seismic responses of RHC-PVCT columns with PVT tubes filled with high-strength concrete. Nonlinear finite element method (FEM) was conducted to predict seismic behaviors. Finite element models were verified through a comparison of FEM results with experimental results. A parametric study was then performed using validated FEM models to investigate the effect of several parameters on the mechanical properties of RHC-PVCT short columns. The parameters study indicated that the concrete strength and the ratio of diameter to height affected the seismic performance of RHC-PVCT short column significantly.

  • Objective : This study investigates the effect of valproic acid (VPA) on expression of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) in a rat spinal cord injury (SCI) model. Methods : Adult male rats (n=24) were randomly and blindly allocated into three groups. Laminectomy at T9 was performed in all three groups. In group 1 (sham), only laminectomy was performed. In group 2 (SCI-VPA), the animals received a dose of 200 mg/kg of VPA. In group 3 (SCI-saline), animals received 1.0 mL of the saline vehicle solution. A modified aneurysm clip with a closing force of 30 grams was applied extradurally around the spinal cord at T9, and then rapidly released with cord compression persisting for 2 minutes. The rats were sacrificed and the spinal cord were collected one week after SCI. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blotting sample were obtained from 5 mm rostral region to the lesion and prepared. We analyzed the nestin immunoreactivity from the white matter of ventral cord and the ependyma of central canal. Nestin and SOX2 were used for markers for NSPCs and analyzed by IHC and western blotting, respectively. Results : Nestin and SOX2 were expressed significantly in the SCI groups but not in the sham group. Comparing SCI groups, nestin and SOX2 expression were much stronger in SCI-VPA group than in SCI-saline group. Conclusion : Nestin and SOX2 as markers for NSPCs showed increased expression in SCI-VPA group in comparison with SCI-saline group. This result suggests VPA increases expression of spinal NSPCs in SCI.

  • 본 연구에서는 온도의 상승에 의하여 팽창하는 열팽창 기능을 가지고 있으면서 부피의 감소에 의하여 발생하는 압력의 손실을 상쇄시킬 수 있는 고무 치공구를 열가소성 고분자의 필름 함침공정에 적용하였다. 일반적인 압축성형공정에서는 온도의 상승에 의하여 수지가 용융되고 이에 수지가 함침됨에 따라 압력이 감소하지만, 고무 치공구를 사용한 경우에는 수지의 함침을 보상한 고무 치공구가 팽창하여 감소된 압력을 보상하기 때문에 급격한 압력의 강하를 억제할 수 있었다. 이렇게 수지의 함침에 따른 고무 치공구의 부피 팽창 그리고 이에 따른 수지 함침속도의 변화를 고려하여 고무 치공구를 이용한 필름 함침공정 모델을 제안하였다. 또한 고무 치공구를 사용하지 않는 일반적인 압축공정에 있어서 수지의 함침에 따른 섬유층 탄성력의 변화를 실험적으로 측정하여 단계적인 압축공정에 있어서 수지의 함침속도를 예측할 수 있는 모델을 제안하였다.

  • MWCNT (다중벽 탄소 나노튜브)의 종류와 유동 형태가 폴리카보네이트 (PC)/MWCNT 나노 복합체의 전기 전도도에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. MWCNT의 종류가 바뀌면 사출 성형으로 제조된 PC/MWCNT의 전기 전도도가 크게 변하는 것을 관찰하였다. MWCNT 의 종횡비가 클수록 사출 성형품의 전기 전도도는 낮았고 압축 성형으로 제조한 시료의 전기 전도도는 MWCNT의 종류에 상관없이 비슷하였다. 이 결과는 MWCNT의 변형과 크게 상관있는 것으로 조사되었다. 종횡비가 클수록 외부 응력이 작용할 때 MWCNT의 배향도가 올라가고 MWCNT들의 접촉에 의한 전도성 길 (path)가 끊어져서 전기전도도가 낮아지는 것으로 생각된다. 연신력과 전단 속도가 큰 조건에서 제조된 시료의 전기 전도도가 크게 낮아지는 것을 관찰하였다. 이는 높은 전단력과 연신력에서 MWCNT의 배향이 높아지고 그 결과 MWCNT 들의 접촉이 단절되면서 전기 전도도가 낮아지는 것임을 다양한 실험으로 부터 알 수 있었다. 여러 실험 결과 들을 MWCNT의 배향과 전도길 변화와의 연관성의 관점으로 토의하였다.

  • The UV-protection effect of green-tea dyed fabrics was reported in our previous studies. The chitosan was used as a natural mordant of cellulose fiber for green tea extract because chitosan is a natural bio-polymer. The increase in the UV protection property of summer cellulose fabrics, cotton and linen, upon the repetition of chitosan mordanting and green tea dyeing was observed. However, the physical property change would be followed by this repeated wet processing of the cellulose fabric. Therefore, the physical changes of the chitosan mordanted and green tea dyed cotton and linen fabrics were evaluated by KES-FB system. Tensile, shear, bending, compression, and surface characteristics were tested upon the repetition of mordanting and dyeing treatments. Linearity of tensile force increased in the treated cotton and linen samples. Tensile energy and resilience decreased in all treated fabrics. Shear stiffness increased in the treated cotton and linen in general. Shear hysteresis was increased in all cotton samples and some linen samples. In cotton, the bending rigidity in all treated cottons increased except C3G3. As the chitosan mordanting numbers increased, the bending rigidity tended to decrease. In linen, the bending rigidity and hysteresis increased in all treated samples. Compressional energy and resilience increased as the number of chitosan mordanting increased both in cotton and linen. This could be the result of the increase in thickness upon chitosan mordanting. Surface coefficient of friction increased in the treated cotton and linen in general. Surface roughness tended to increase in cotton.

  • 철골기둥-베이스 플레이트 접합부의 파괴유형은 베이스 플레이트 압축면과 인장면의 휨파괴, 앵커볼트의 인장파괴, 뽑힘, 전단파괴, 그리고 콘크리트 기초파괴 및 철골기둥의 소성힌지발생에 따른 파괴이다. 본 연구에서는 핀접합 또는 강접합으로 가정하여 설계되는 노출형 철골기둥-베이스 플레이트 접합부가 받을 수 있는 모멘트의 크기를 구하기 위하여, 한계상태 함수를 이용하여 철골기둥-베이스 플레이트 접합부의 휨성능 및 파괴유형을 예측하고 실험결과와 비교하였다. 한계상태함수를 이용하여 노출형 철골기둥-베이스 플레이트 접합부의 휨성능을 비교적 정확히 예측할 수 있는 범위는 축력이 있는 경우, 앵커볼트의 항복 또는 철골기둥의 항복으로 판별되었을 때이며 축력이 없는 경우, 베이스 플레이트의 항복으로 판별된 경우이다. 파괴유형까지 같이 고려할 경우, 축력이 있으며 앵커볼트의 항복으로 판별된 경우에만 한계 상태함수의 사용이 가능하다.

  • The stress triaxiality and lode angle are known to be most dominant fracture parameters in ductile materials. This paper proposes a three-dimensional failure strain surface for a ductile steel, called a low-temperature high-tensile steel (EH36), using average stress triaxiality and average normalized lode parameter, along with briefly introducing their theoretical background. It is an extension of previous works by Choung et al. (2011; 2012; 2014a; 2014b) and Choung and Nam (2013), in which a two-dimensional failure strain locus was presented. A series of tests for specially designed specimens that were expected to fail in the shear mode, shear-tension mode, and compression mode was conducted to develop a three-dimensional fracture surface covering wide ranges for the two parameters. This paper discusses the test procedures for three different tests in detail. The tensile force versus stroke data are presented as the results of these tests and will be used for the verification of numerical simulations and fracture identifications in Part II.
