Test results of four reinforced concrete two-span continuous deep beams are summarized. Main variables were the configuration of web opening reinforcement. Shear span-to-overall depth ratio and the size of the web opening were fixed by 1.0 and 0.5 a $\times$ 0.2 h, respectively. To control diagonal crack and enhance strength, it can be recommended that diagonal reinforcement crossing the crack plane joining between loading points and corner of openings should be provided.

A new TFT-LCD panel with air-bridge type gate to data line inter-crossing has been proposed and its characteristics have been measured. The proposed structure has air-gap between gate and data line inter-crossing. This air-bridge TFT-LCD panel has very small capacitance between gate and data line. The new panes structure achieves 9 times fast signal propagation compared with conventional panel, which enables to have enough design margin for 20-inch diagonal and larger size UXGA panel. We have examined thermal and mechanical durability of new panel to verify applicability for commercial AMLCD production. After TEOS and polyimide passivation, this panel withstood a thermal stress at $250^{\circ}C$ and a mechanical stress during the rubbing process.

Current design equations for shear strength of reinforced concrete columns generally overestimate the shear strength contribution by the circular transverse reinforcement. This is due to the simplification of the discrete distribution of the reinforcement to the continuous one and the imprudent application of the classical truss model to the circular section, which is different in shear-resisting mechanism from the rectangular section. This study presents a rational model for the prediction of shear strength contribution by the circular transverse reinforcement considering the starting location of a diagonal crack, the number of transverse reinforcing bars crossing the main crack and the geometrical strength component of the transverse resistance. It was found that, for lower amount transverse reinforcement, the crack starting point and the number of crack crossing bars greatly influence the shear-resisting capacity. Proposed model leads to a reliable design equation which is derived using a linear regression method and is in good agreement with the lower bound of exact strength curve.

The problem of the spokes puzzle(SP), which connects the spokes(edges) required by the wheel axis (hub, vertex) without intersection to form a network in which all the hubs are connected, can be said to be a wasteland of research. For this problem, there is no algorithm that presents a brute-force search or branch-and-bound method that takes exponential time. This paper proposes an algorithm to plot a lattice graph with cross-diagonal lines of m×n for a given SP and to pruning(delete) the surplus edges(spokes). The proposed algorithm is a simple way to select an edge of a hub whose number of edges matches the hub requirement and delete the edge crossing it. If there is no hub with an edge that meets the hub requirement, a strategy was adopted to preferentially delete(pruning) the edge of the hub with the maximum amount of spare. As a result of applying the proposed algorithm to 20 benchmarking experimental data, it was shown that a solution that minimizes the number of trials and errors can be obtained for all problems.

This study compared the delays of scramble crosswalks and general crosswalks, considering the pedestrian and vehicle traffic at intersections. Based on the signal theory, this study used traffic delays as a measure of feasibility of installing scramble crosswalks. The road structure and length of signal lights were assumed to be specific numbers to calculate the delays in vehicles and pedestrians. With the computed delays, this study compared general crosswalks and scramble crosswalks, and evaluated the feasibility sections on the installation of scramble crosswalks using circular and non-circular signal phases, respectively. The analysis confirmed that the introduction of scramble crosswalks might be more appropriate when the traffic ratio on the main roads is high. In addition, the application of non-circular signal phases is more proper for the operation of scramble crosswalks than circular signal phases. In the non-circular signaling system, however, it was shown that diagonal crosswalks might not be practical if the demand for diagonal crossing is too low. These results are expected to contribute to the development of basic guidelines for assessing the installment feasibility of scramble crosswalks in terms of traffic operation and efficiency.

Existing design equations generally overestimate the shear strength of the circular transverse reinforcement. This is due to the simplification of the discrete distribution of the reinforcement to the continuous one and the inappropriate application of the classical truss model to the circular section, which is different in shear-resisting component from the rectangular section. The present study introduces a new model considering the starting point of the diagonal crack, the number of transverse reinforcing bars crossing the crack and the effective strength component of the transverse resistance. This model leads to a simple design equation which is derived using the linear regression method and is in agreement with the lower bound of exact strength curve.

Shield tunnel having circular section located in the soil or soft rock layer is liable to deform in such a way that its two diagonal diameters crossing each other expand and contract alternately during earthquakes. Based on this knowledge, the ground-tunnel interaction effect for this particular vibration mode is investigated. The ground surrounding a tunnel is assumed to be a homogeneous elastic medium. The bonded boundary condition on the ground-tunnel interface is considered. This suggests a firm bond between the ground and the tunnel lining. As Poisson's ratio and stiffness of the ground increases, the strain induced within the tunnel lining increases.

Long term earthquake observations at different tunnel sites within a variety of alluvial soil deposits have demonstrated that a circular tunnel is liable to deform in such a way that its two diagonal diameters crossing each other expand and contract alternately. Based on this knowledge, the soil-tunnel interaction and isolation effect for this particular vibration mode is investigated. Interaction effect is considered with the condition of fixed tangential strain between the tunnel and the soil. Isolation effect embodied by covering up the tunnel with isolation materials is discussed as a possible measure for mitigating seismic damage to it. When Poisson`s ratio of isolation material decreases or the shear modulus ratios of the soil to isolation material become large, the isolation effect becomes bigger.

The problem of the bridges(Hasjiwokakero, Hasi) puzzle, which connects the bridge(edge) required by the island(vertex) without crossing the horizontal and vertical straight bridges except for the diagonal to form a connected network, is a barren ground for research without any related research. For this problem, there is no algorithm that presents a generalized exponential time brute-force or branch-and-bound method. This paper obtained the initial solution of the lattice graph by drawing a grid without diagonal lines for a given BP, removing unnecessary edges, and supplementing essential bridges. Next, through insufficient island pair path matching, the method of adding insufficient edges to the route and deleting the crossed surplus edges(bridges) was adopted. Applying the proposed algorithm to 24 benchmarking experimental data showed that accurate solutions can be obtained for all problems.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the shear strengthening effectiveness of the beams strengthened with near surface mounted (NSM) and external bonded (EB) CFRP strips. A total of nine concrete beams were made and tested. From this study, it was found that the shear stiffness and strength of the beams strengthened with NSM and EB strips were significantly improved compared to the control beam. Failure of the beam strengthened with NSM and EB strips was initiated by shear cracks, propagated diagonally to the adjacent epoxy grooves without crossing the epoxy and finally sudden diagonal crack connecting the point of application of load and flexural crack was occurred. For the beam strengthened combined with NSM and EB CFRP strips, the tensile strains in the NSM CFRP strips were observed in the range of 0.35% to 0.45% and strains with EB strips were measured about 0.3%.
