The methods for estimating in-situ hydraulic conductivity ($k_{hp}$) and coefficient of consolidation ($c_{hp}$) in the horizontal direction from piezocone penetration and dissipation test results have been investigated using test results at two sites in Saga, Japan. At the two sites the laboratory values of hydraulic conductivity ($k_v$) and coefficient of consolidation ($c_v$) in the vertical direction are also available. Comparing $k_{hp}$ with $k_v$ and $c_{hp}$ with $k_v$ values, suitable methods for estimating $k_{hp}$ and $c_{hp}$ values are recommended. For the two sites, where $k_{hp}{\approx}k_v$ and $c_{hp}{\approx}2c_v$. It is suggested that the estimated values of $k_{hp}$ and $c_{hp}$ can be used in engineering design.

This paper reports the experiments regarding to diagnosis techniques for power transformers by measuring dissipation factor and moisture contents of mineral oils. Thermal aging environments of mineral oils were varied by the specially designed systems. Thermal aging of elevated temperature of $90^{\circ}C$ was performed for about 240 and 460 hours, respectively. Dissipation factor, permittivity, and water content were measured. Our test samples were not exposed to air. Dissipation factor increased while permittivity did not change. The level of dissipation factor determining the insulating quality of mineral oil was compared with the previous results of resistivity and several correction factor.

A heat dissipation modeling method of EEE parts is developed for thermal design and analysis of an satellite electronic equipment. The power consumption measurement value of each functional breadboard is used for the heat dissipation modeling method. For the purpose of conduction heat transfer modeling of EEE parts, surface heat model using very thin ignorable thermal plates is considered instead of conventional lumped capacity nodes. These modeling methods are applied to the thermal design and analysis of CTU EM and EQM and verified by thermal cycling and vacuum tests.

This study is to investigate harbor oscillation phenomenon according to combination of the wall structures by model experiment in a three dimensional wave basin. Six different types of wall combination were chosen through combination of erect wall, erect dissipation block, and sand beach, wave height at selected points in the harbor were measured by electronic wave gage. Test results show that the wall structure composed solely of erect walls showed generally highest harbor oscillation. Since natural beach shows lower reflection than erect dissipation block do, we thought it would be more efficient to use natural beach for improved harbor oscillation. The result showed, however, that the erect dissipation block are more efficient than natural beach to attain less harbor oscillation. The reason seens that the erect dissipation blocks have better capability to control breaking wave on the surface of the structure.

A heat dissipation modeling method of EEE parts, or semi-empirical heat dissipation method, is developed for thermal design and analysis an electronic equipment of geostationary satellite. The power consumption measurement value of each functional breadboard is used for the heat dissipation modeling method. For the purpose of conduction heat transfer modeling of EEE parts, surface heat model using very thin ignorable thermal plates is developed instead of conventional lumped capacity nodes. The thermal plates are projected to the printed circuit board and can be modeled and modified easily by numerically preprocessing programs according to design changes. These modeling methods are applied to the thermal design and analysis of CTU (Command and Telemetry Unit) and verified by thermal cycling and vacuum tests.

In this study, a study was carried out that could effectively produce a heat dissipation effect on plastic materials. Using carbon nanotube (CNT), aluminum powder and plastic, the material properties were tested in 2 cases of compounding ratio. The test sample mold was designed and constructed prior to the experiment. The experiments include tensile strength, elongation rate, flexural strength, flexural elasticity rate, eye-jaw impact strength, gravity and thermal conductivity. Results from 60% and 70% mixture of aluminium to plastic were tested, and a 10% less combined result was a relatively good property. For research purposes, the heat dissipation effect and light weighting obtained a good measure when the combined amount of Al was 60%.

It was found that the lateral stiffness changes obvious at the transfer position of the section configuration from SRC to RC. This particular behavior leads to that the transfer columns become as the important elements in SRC-RC hybrid structures. A comprehensive study was conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of SRC-RC transfer columns based on a low cyclic loading test of 16 transfer columns compared with 1 RC column. Test results shows three failure modes for transfer columns, which are shear failure, bond failure and bend failure. Its seismic behavior was completely analyzed about the failure mode, hysteretic and skeleton curves, bearing capacity deformation ability, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation. It is further determined that displacement ductility coefficient of transfer columns changes from 1.97 to 5.99. The stiffness of transfer columns are at the interval of SRC and RC, and hence transfer columns can play the role of transition from SRC to RC. All specimens show similar discipline of stiffness degradation and the process can be divided into three parts. Some specimens of transfer column lose bearing capacity swiftly after shear cracking and showed weak energy dissipation ability, but the others show better ability of energy dissipation than RC column.

A degree of consolidation at any time can be evaluated by using cone penetration test after soil improvement. In this case, after stopping the penetration of a piezocone, pore pressure dissipation(PPD) best is carried out until the pore pressure remains constant. Since the hydraulic conductivity of soft ground is very small, it takes very long time to finish the PPD test. This research is performed to develop a method overcoming this problem of the PPD test and reducing the test time. The analyses are carried out in the following ways : an equilibrium pore pressure can be determined by using pore pressure measured in the middle of the test, which is predicted by hyperbolic, Asaoka and Hoshino methods. And this equilibrium pore pressure is compared with the one measured in a test of long duration. As a result of the study, it is found that Hoshino method is the best way to predict the equilibrium pore pressure in a teat of short duration. And it is proposed as a methodology to fond a minimal time in which we can get an equilibrium pore pressure.

10 RC bridge piers have been made on a 1/3.4 scale model, and six piers of them were retrofitted with glassfiber. The have been tested in the quasi-static cyclic load so as to investigate their seismic enhancement before and after retrofitting with glassfibers. The objective of this experimental study is to investigate how to strength the ductility of reinforced concrete bridge piers which have been nonseismically designed and constructed in Korea before 1992. Important test parameters are axial load, load pattern, retrofit type. Glassfiber sheets were used for retrofitting in the plastic hinge region of concrete piers. The nonlinear behavior of bridge columns have been evaluated through their yield and ultimate strength, energy dissipation, displacement ductility and load-deflection characteristics under quasi-static cyclic loads. It can be concluded from the test that concrete piers strengthened with glassfibers have been enhanced for their ductile behavior by approximate 50%.
