This paper is focused on the residual capacity of steel columns, as a damage criterion. Load-Impulse (P-I) diagrams are frequently used for analysis, design, or assessment of blast resistant structures. The residual load carrying capacity of a simply supported steel column was derived as a damage criterion based on a SDOF computational approach. Dimensionless P-I diagrams were generated numerically with this quantitative damage criterion. These numerical P-I diagrams were used to show that traditional constant ductility ratios adopted as damage criteria are not appropriate for either the design or damage assessment of blast resistant steel columns, and that the current approach could be a much more appropriate alternative.

Durability of product is an important technical parameter of a current interception device (CID) filter. This parameter is influenced by several factors, such as: environment condition, external force, shape of device, heat and so on. In this study, the effect of the geometry of the device on durability was carried out. The effect of shape on durability of device is presented by force-carrying capacity that a device can sustain a maximum external force. Studied parameters of the CID filter's geometry include clearance, thickness, and corner radius. Fracture criterion of Cockcroft and Latham was also used to predict the maximum force-carrying capacity of device.

Dynamic thermal rating of the overhead transmission lines is affected by many uncertain factors. The ambient temperature, wind speed and wind direction are the main sources of uncertainty. Measurement uncertainty is an important parameter to evaluate the reliability of measurement results. This paper presents the uncertainty analysis based on Monte Carlo. On the basis of establishing the mathematical model and setting the probability density function of the input parameter value, the probability density function of the output value is determined by probability distribution random sampling. Through the calculation and analysis of the transient thermal balance equation and the steady- state thermal balance equation, the steady-state current carrying capacity, the transient current carrying capacity, the standard uncertainty and the probability distribution of the minimum and maximum values of the conductor under 95% confidence interval are obtained. The simulation results indicate that Monte Carlo method can decrease the computational complexity, speed up the calculation, and increase the validity and reliability of the uncertainty evaluation.

무인도서의 지속가능한 이용을 보장하기 위해서는 이용 개발계획을 수립할 때 무인도서 생태계의 높은 가치를 충분히 고려하고, 이용 개발 행위가 이루어지기 전에 환경수용력을 먼저 평가할 필요가 있다. 이 연구에서는 에머지 개념과 방법론을 이용하여 무인도서인 인천광역시 옹진군 소재 선갑도의 생태계 가치와 환경수용력을 평가하였다. 선갑도의 에머지 평가경계는 육지부뿐만 아니라 '무인도서의 보전 및 관리에 관한 법률'의 무인도서 관리범위를 따라 만조수위선으로부터 1 km이내의 해역까지 포함하였다. 선갑도 생태계로 유입하는 재생가능 에머지량은 $1.04{\times}10^{20}$ sej/yr로, 해면부의 조석 에머지가 가장 중요하였다. 선갑도의 가치는 연간 299억 Em￦으로 높게 나타났다. 선갑도 육지부와 해면부의 에머지 기여도를 모두 포함하여 환경수용력을 계산한 결과, 우리나라 평균 수준개발 시나리오의 경우 6,586명, 장기적 지속가능성 시나리오의 경우 2,337명이었다. 그러나 선갑도 육지부가 공급하는 에머지만 고려할 경우 환경수용력은 우리나라 평균수준 개발을 가정할 경우 14명, 장기적 지속가능성을 고려할 경우 5명에 불과하였다. 따라서 선갑도를 포함한 무인도서의 생태계 가치를 유지하고 무인도서 이용의 지속성을 보장하기 위해서는 이용 개발계획 수립단계에서부터 환경수용력을 고려하도록 제도화 할 필요가 있다.

고대 석조아치교량의 아치부분은 암석블릭이 서로 맞물려 있는 불연속면의 특성을 지니고 있다. 이러한 석조아치교량의 내하력을 평가하기 위해서는 역학적으로 취약한 불연속면을 고려하는 것이 요구되나 기존의 해석방법은 아치를 연속된 하나의 일체부재로 보고 해석하였으므로 불연속면의 특성이 고려되지 않았다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 유한요소해석을 이용하여 불연속면을 고려하고 불연속면의 전단강성과 마찰각이 석조아치교량의 내하력에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로써 석조아치교량을 평가하고자 하 였다. 연구결과 고대 석조아치교량의 내하력은 아치블럭을 형성하고 있는 암석 자체의 압축강도보다는 불연속면의 마찰각과 전단강성에 의하여 좌우되며 화강암 교량일 경우에는 전단강성이 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었으며 해석대상인 흥국사 홍교는 현재 3등교수준의 내하력을 갖고 있는 것으로 추정된다.

We evaluated the electrical properties of 37 multifilamentary jointed tapes processed by superconducting joint. In the superconducting joining method. a lap-joint was used. Tapes were selectively etched and exposed superconducting cores of the two tapes were brought into contact with each other and then only the joined region was uniaxially pressed in the range of 1,000 to 2,500 MPa. The current carrying capacity and n-value of the jointed tape were evaluated as a function of uniaxial pressure. The highest current carrying capacity and n-value were obtained to be 58%, 26% for the jointed tape to the tape itself.

In this paper, a thermal model is developed for the bus bar system to predict the temperature variation during the transient time period and to calculate both the steady-state and transient electrical current carrying capacity (ampacity) of bus bar. The bus bar system installed in the power house of Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore has been considered. Temperature variation predicted in the modelling is validated by observing the current and steady state temperatures in different feeders of the bus bar. Magnetic field of the extreme phases R and B induces more current in the middle phase Y. Hence, the steady state temperature in the phase Y is greater than other two phases. The transient capabilities of the bus bar are illustrated by calculating the variations in the bus bar temperature when it is subjected to a step change in current during the peak hours due to increase in hostel utilities and facilities (5.30 pm to 10.30 pm). The physical and geometrical properties of the bus bar and temperature variation in the bus bar are used to estimate the thermal time constants for common bus bar cross-sections. An analytical expression for the time constant of the bus bar is derived.

Residual capacity is defined as the load carrying capacity of an RC column after undergoing severe damage. Evaluation of residual capacity of RC columns is necessary to avoid damage initiation in RC structures. The central aspect of the current research is to propose an empirical formula to estimate the residual capacity of RC columns after undergoing severe damage. This formula facilitates decision making of whether a replacement or a repair of the damaged column is adequate for further use. Available literature mainly focused on the simulation of explosion loads by using simplified pressure time histories to develop residual capacity of RC columns and rarely simulated the actual explosive. Therefore, there is a gap in the literature concerning general relation between blast damage of columns with different explosive loading conditions for a reliable and quick evaluation of column behavior subjected to blast loading. In this paper, the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) technique is implemented to simulate high fidelity blast pressure propagations. LS-DYNA software is utilized to solve the finite element (FE) model. The FE model is validated against the practical blast tests, and outcomes are in good agreement with test results. Multivariate linear regression (MLR) method is utilized to derive an analytical formula. The analytical formula predicts the residual capacity of RC columns as functions of structural element parameters. Based on intensive numerical simulation data, it is found that column depth, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, concrete strength and column width have significant effects on the residual axial load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete column under blast loads. Increasing column depth and longitudinal reinforcement ratio that provides better confinement to concrete are very effective in the residual capacity of RC column subjected to blast loads. Data obtained with this study can broaden the knowledge of structural response to blast and improve FE models to simulate the blast performance of concrete structures.

To develop a sustainable management model for oyster farming in Pukman Bay, Korea, we estimated the carrying capacity for oyster farming using food availability data. Optimal culture densities were calculated to be 124-133 individuals per unit flux area ($m^2$) and 310-330 individuals per string. The present annual production is approximately 1,038 tons/year, which is 87% of the estimated maximum yield of 1,193 tons/year. Therefore, considering annual fluctuations and a critical buffer to reduce ecological impacts, the current level is within optimal conditions. During periods of increased water temperature, energy demand was largely met by high primary production. The food supply significantly decreased as the harvest season approached, and 10 out of 21 oyster farms had a deficient food supply for at least 1 month. Therefore, these farms (39% of the farms within the bay) exceeded optimal densities.
