This paper deals with the effect of concrete target size on penetration of projectiles. We investigated the penetration depth and residual velocity of projectiles using the 2-D axial symmetric model. Most analysis were conducted with 13 kg projectile (striking velocity: 456.4 m/s) and concrete target with compressive strength of 39 MPa. This paper provided penetration depth (or residual velocity) versus ratio D/d (target diameter, D and projectile diameter, d). When the bottom of concrete cylinder was constrained, penetration depth converged to limit depth more than the ratio D/d of 36. The residual velocity of projectile with thin concrete target were investigated. The residual velocity was converged to specific velocity more than the ratio D/d of 16.

This study peformed an evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties and sound absorption characteristics of porous concrete according to the target void ratio and content of the recycled aggregate in order to reduce the noise generated in roads, railroads, residential areas and downtown areas and effectively utilize the recycled waste concrete aggregate generated as a byproduct of construction. The test results demonstrated that the difference between the target void ratio and the actual measured void ratio was less than 1.7% and that the tendency of the compression strength was to reduce rapidly when the target void ratio and the content of the recycled aggregate exceeded 25% and 50%, respectively. In addition, the sound absorption characteristics of the porous concrete using recycled waste concrete aggregate showed that the NRC was the highest at the target void ratio of 25% and the content of the recycled aggregate had very little influence on the NRC. Therefore, when considering the compression strength and the sound absorption characteristics of porous concrete, the proper target void ratio and the content of the recycled waste concrete aggregate are thought to be 25% and 50%, respectively

This research estimated the physical. mechanical characteristic and the character of sound absorption according to target void ratio of porous concrete and the mixing ratio of recycled aggregate for the valid utilization of recycled aggregate using waste concrete and sound reduction out of a road, a railway, a residential street, and a downtown area. As a result of the test, compressive strength tended to be a radical strength fall when target void ratio was $25\%$ and contents of recycled aggregate exceeded over $50\%$. Also, the character of sound absorption of porous concrete which used recycled aggregate using waste concrete was the most excellent when target void ratio was $25\%$, and the influence by contents of recycled aggregate was trivial. Therefore, when the strength and the character of sound absorption of porous concrete are considered, it is proved valid that proper target void ratio was $25\%$ and contents of recycled aggregate using waste concrete was $50\%$ or so.

It is proposed in this paper to develop the rational mix design system of High-strength concrete which is adjusted in the domestic circumstances. 1) Collect a lots of data in order to introduce the optimum mix design which has relation among material variables which compose High-strength concrete and run by using SAS (Statistical analysis system) which is one of multivariate statistical analysis method. 2) Select the important material variables for mix design of High-strength concrete by major component analysis and propose the standard range of each material variable along the target strengths. From the results of this study, it was proposed the range of proper material variables in domestic circumstance, which are W/C, S/A, air and admixture amounts, etc, at the target strengths for concrete kind. Also it was developed the optimum mix design program of High-strength concrete according to target strength and size of aggregate and made mix design ease in domestic construction site.

Performance-based seismic design allows a structure to develop inelastic response during earthquakes. This modern seismic design requires more clearly defined levels of inelastic response. The ultimate deformation of a structure without total collapse (target displacement) is used to obtain the inelastic deformation capacity (inelastic performance). The inelastic performance of a structure indicates its performance under excitation. In this study, a new energy-based method to obtain the target displacement for reinforced concrete frames under cyclic loading is proposed. Concrete structures were analyzed using nonlinear static (pushover) analysis and cyclic loading. Failure of structures under cyclic loading was controlled and the new method was tested to obtain target displacement. In this method, the capacity energy absorption of the structures for both pushover and cyclic analyses were considered to be equal. The results were compared with FEMA-356, which confirmed the accuracy of the proposed method.

The purpose of this study is to investigate properties of porous concrete according to rheological properties of binder and compaction factor. The results of this study, the rheological property of binder is stabilized when a mixing time is over 240 seconds in case of target flow values are $175\%\;and\;200\%$. The void ratio of specimen has a very near value by target void ratio on the whole according as the rheological properties of binder and compaction energy are changed when target flow value is $200\%$, compaction energy is $75kN{\cdot}m/m^2$. The specimen has the excellent compressive strength when compaction energy and target flow value are $100kN{\cdot}m/m^2$ and $200\%$ respectively.

Existing old reinforced concrete buildings could be vulnerable to earthquakes because they were constructed without satisfying seismic design and detail requirements. In current seismic design standards, the target collapse probability for a given Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) ground-shaking hazard is defined as 10% for ordinary buildings. This study aims to estimate the collapse probabilities of a three-story, old, reinforced concrete building designed by only considering gravity loads. Four different seismic design categories (SDC), A, B, C, and D, are considered. This study reveals that the RC building located in the SDC A region satisfies the target collapse probability. However, buildings located in SDC B, C, and D regions do not meet the target collapse probability. Since the degree of exceedance of the target probability increases with an increase in the SDC level, it is imminent to retrofit non-ductile RC buildings similar to the model building. It can be confirmed that repair and reinforcement of old reinforced concrete buildings are required.

The simulation of the ballistic trajectory of penetrator into the spaced multi-layer RC targets is very important to predict the hitting condition in subsequent target. Because of perturbation by lateral load of penetrator caused by asymmetric hitting position between penetrator and steel bar reinforcement, penetrator rotates and deviates from the straight path. Therefore, penetration capability of penetrator is decreased in the subsequent targets. This paper presents the result of the penetration of steel-bar-reinforced concrete target by using the explicit finite element code LS-DYNA. A series of computations is performed and compared to experimental data and the computed results are in good agreement with the experimental results over a wide range of velocities. And then we conduct the simulation according to various RC target hitting condition and impact velocities.

The purpose of this study is to investigate properties of porous concrete according to volume of binder and compaction energy. The result of this study, as compaction energy goes on increasing, the actual measured void ratio is decreased according as a change of compaction energy and volume of binder. The compaction energy has a very near value by target void ratio on the whole when it is $50kN{\cdot}m/m^2,\;50\~75kN{\cdot}m/m^2$ in case of target void ratio is $15\%\;and\;25\%$. As compaction energy goes on increasing, compressive strength of specimens picked up when target void ratio is $20\%\;and\;25\%$. Also, compressive strength of specimens bluntly picked up when compaction energy is over $50\~75kN{\cdot}m/m^2$.

The most agricultural concrete structures for the irrigation and drainage are exposed to the underwater condition at the irrigation period and they take the influence on very severe cold in the winter. Therefore, it is impossible to use repair materials used to the general concrete structures. The research need the development of the repair material for a performance enhance of the agricultural underwater concrete structures. This research evaluated the mechanical and durability performance of the latex modified repair mortar for underwater concrete structures which peformed the repair in the underwater according to the characteristic of the agricultural concrete structure. The latex modified repair mortar is a material that minimize the effect of the ecosystem, environment and the segregation. In this research, the construction condition of the latex modified repair mortar for agricultural concrete structures was considered and the test specimens made in the underwater condition. Test results was then compared with target performance and commercial repair mortar. Experimental test results indicated that the mechanical and durability performance of latex modified repair mortar for agricultural underwater concrete structure satisfied all target performance. Also, the latex modified repair mortar resulted in better repair performance than the commercial repair mortar.
