Densification behavior of titanium alloy powder was investigated under hot isostatic pressing at various pressures and temperatures. Uniaxial creep responses of a dense specimen were also obtained at high temperatures. The densification model of Abouaf and co-workers was implemented into a Finite element program (ABAQUS) to compare with experimental data for titanium alloy powder. The agreements between finite element calculations and experimental data for deformation and densification of titanium alloy powder were good during hot isostatic pressing.

The U-Zr metallic alloy with low swelling HT9 cladding is the candidate for the KALIMER fuel rod. The fuel rod should be able to maintain the structural integrity during its lifetime in the reactor. In a typical metallic fuel rod, load is mainly applied by internal gas pressure, and the deformation is primarily caused by creep of the cladding. The three-dimensional FEM modelling of a fuel rod is important to predict the structural behavior in concept design stage. Using the ANSYS code, the 3-D structure analyses were performed for various configuration, element and loads. It has been shown that the present analysis model properly evaluate the structural integrity of fuel rod. The present analysis results show that the fuel rod is expected to maintain its structural integrity during normal operation.

It was estimated by an analysis method thai the inner shell of HANARO reactor will be deformed due to pressure, loads, creep and growth during reactor operation. To confirm the analysis validity and safe operation of reactor, we developed tools to remotely measure the straightness of the inner shell located 12m below the pool top. The performance and the accuracy of the measurement tools have been verified through tests using a dummy inner shell and steel straight edge. The accuracy of the measurement shows very good results with a maximum error of 0.06mm by steel straight edge. The technical experiences described in this paper will be a good reference not only for the operation and maintenance of HANARO but also for the next performance of the measurement in the future.

A case study deals with Squeezing behavior under tunneling. Squeezing stands for large time-dependent convergence during tunnel excavation. Squeezing can occur in both rock and soil as long as the particular combination of induced stresses and material properties pushes some zone around the tunnel beyond the limiting shear stress at which creep starts. Under squeezing rock conditions, If the support installation is delayed the rock mass moves into the tunnel and a stress redistribution takes place around it. On the contrary, if deformation is restrained, squeezing will lead to long-term load build-up of rock support. This paper shows analysis case mutually with monitoring and numerical analysis result of squeezing behavior of Pinglin tunnel in Taiwan.

Cracking of repair material due to restraint of shrinkage could hinder the intended extension of serviceability of repaired concrete structure. The availability of model to predict shrinkage stress under restraint condition will be useful to assess whether repair material with particular deformation properties is resistance to cracking or not. The accuracy in the prediction will depend upon reliability of the model, input parameters, testing methods used to characterize the input parameters, etc. This paper reviews a variety of models to predict shrinkage stress in patch repair system. Effect of creep and composite action to release shrinkage stress in the patch repair system are quantified and discussed. Accuracy of the models is examined by comparing predicted and measured shrinkage stress. Simplified model to estimate shrinkage stress is proposed which requires only shrinkage property of repair material as an input parameter.

Highrise concrete buildings are very sensitive to cumulative and differential shortening of their vertical element such as wall and columns. Inelastic deformation due to creep and shrinkage consist of various factors and load history af actual building is very complicated. Therefore, for the accurate prediction and compensation of axial shortening, special efforts in design and construction phase are required to ensure long-term serviceability and strength requirement. In this paper, axial shortening estimation and compensation procedure is presented, which utilized experimentally determined concrete properties and preliminary load history and computerized approach, in case of Plaza Rakyat office tower, 79-story reinforced concrete building under construction in Malaysia.

Superalloys with many strengthening alloying elements are frequently used in powder form to alleviate harmful effects of alloy segregation. HIP (hot isostatic pressing) and DB (diffusion bonding) as a form of solid-state bonding process is often used to make turbine components, such as integrated turbine rotors. HIP/DB process requires many technical overcomes related to dimensional changes as well as microstructural control. In this research, HIP/DB process for nickel base superalloys, Udimet 720, were investigated with a view to control the dimensional change during the consolidation process. Simple disc-shaped cans were used to select the conceptual die design for the control of the dimensional change especially in radial direction. The change in the shape of consolidated shape was investigated using commercial FE code with constitutive equations for low temperature plasticity and creep deformation.

It is very important to select carefully backfill materials and build for the structural integrity of abutment in bridge. In general, backfill materials of unbound crushed stones (SB-1) are used to provide the safety of abutment structure and to reduce differential settlement around abutment that is significantly related with performance of road pavement under working conditions. In this study, to evaluate the compatibility of backfill materials at abutment and to develop the abutment design program, i) basic properties of subgrade soils in Korea, ii) evaluation of deformational characteristics of backfill materials from RC/TS tests, cyclic TX tests and Creep tests were accomplished.

`Frost heave' is volumetric extension behavior of soil due to freezing. It could have a bad effect to foundations of infrastructures like building, road, railroad and bridge. Therefore, it is considered as a primary design parameter with 'adfreeze bond' and 'creep deformation' for foundation design in cold region. In some countries, studies for analyzing frost heave in many ways have being performed, however, only a few studies for evaluating frost susceptibility of soils by measuring frost heave rate of frozen soils in Korea. For analyzing frost heave as a foundation design parameter, both frost heaving rate and heaving pressure are should be addressed in study. Hence, in this study, development of experimental apparatus to evaluate frost heave and pressure is suggested.
