  • A Steel column with damaged spray-applied fire resistive material (SFRM) may exhibit reduced structural performance due to the effects of elevated temperature during fire events. Thus, the fire load behavior of steel columns with removed or reduced SFRM needs to be examined to predict the structural damage by fire. FEM analyses were performed for the flange thinning removal models in which the SFRM was reduced as a constant strip in thickness at the top flange of the column. The temperature results for all models obtained from the heat transfer analyses were included as an initial condition in the FEM structural analyses. In this study, the results of analysis show that even small remnants of SFRM led to an effective reduction of temperature at any given fire duration, and improved significantly the axial load capacity of a column as compared to the complete removal cases of SFRM.

  • The Storm Water Management Model(SWMM) by EPA is a dynamic rainwater-runoff simulation model used for single event or long-term simulation of runoff quantity and quality from primarily urban areas. The SWMM simulation program is operated by the site area, the weather date, conduit plan etc. on reference region. The purpose of this study was to analyze flood area, the duration of flooded and surcharged on the reference region. Without rainwater stored tank, the area of flooded and surcharged on reference area is similar to the area of reference region. But, With rainwater stored tank, the area of flooded and surcharged on reference area is much reduced compared to without rainwater stored tank. According to SWMM simulation results, the rainwater stored tank is located closer to site is more effective for reduction of duration of flooded and surcharged and flow rate.

  • Corrugated structural plate is ductile structural member which has high sectional properties compared with same thickness of plate. Corrugated plate resists the external forces by the combined action of retained soils and structures. Since it is easy to transport and assemblage of in-situ, the duration and cost of construction can be reduced. Corrugated plate structures, therefore, are widely used in culverts, hydro passages and simple bridges. RC culvert with supported by unstable soil layersin railway construction project of pohang${\sim}$samchuk has been replaced by corrugated plate culvert due to the reduction of construction duration and cost, especially the performance of behavior of settlement of ground. The structural analysis, design processes, and the economic advantages of the corrugated plate culvert are studied in this paper.

  • This paper presents the results of a simulation to analyze the effects of voltage sag on high-pressure discharge lamp(400[W]). In this paper, voltage sag is considered a reduction between 0 and 0.9[p.u] in nominal voltage magnitude, with duration between 0.01 and 90cycle. The simulation results depict the characteristics of the lamp about operating limits during voltage sag by the magnitude and duration of sag in CBEMA curve.

  • These days buildings have more possibilities to occur construction delay as many variables and risks are inherent in them due to the enlargement and complexity. When a project is delayed, it generates extra working expenses and this causes a dispute between the employer and the constructor. Most construction sites conduct emergency construction work to recover the delay of the project duration. When an emergency construction is carried out in the actual construction site, it's necessary to utilize and distribute the proper working groups based on the procedure of successor and predecessor. Many constructions, however, have been going only with more number of work forces and working time. This study suggests a process management optimization plan with an application of emergency construction scenario by using linear programing.

  • In the construction sites, rush (speedy construction) work have recently been overused because of budget reductions by reducing the construction duration after the long-term economic recession and construction business stagnation with institutional change including the instruction of the duration shortening bidding system and the introduction of the post-construction sales system by the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements. Due to this, negligent accidents have frequently occurred by forcing manpower, equipment, finance, and material procurement and pressing ahead with impractical construction wok at night according to the reduction of construction schedules. Therefore, this paper has the necessity of this study to seek for alternatives to prevent negligent accidents by finding factors related to rush work in the reality that the importance for preventing negligent accidents is more emphasized while they have not been reduced in construction sites.

  • By the localization of electro-chemical dissolution region, we succeeded in a few micrometer size hole drilling on stainless steel with the radial machining gap of about 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Tens of nanosecond duration voltage pulses were applied between WC micro-shaft and stainless steel in the 0.1 M $H_2SO_4$ solution. Pt balance electrode was used to drill the high aspect ratio micro-hole without generation of Cr oxide layer on the machined surface. The effects of applied voltage, pulse duration, and pulse period on localization distance were investigated according to machining time. We suggested the taper reduction technique especially brought up on blind-hole machining. High quality micro-holes with 8 ${\mu}m$ diameter with 20 ${\mu}m$ depth and 12 ${\mu}m$ diameter with 100 ${\mu}m$ depth were drilled on 304 stainless steel foil. The various hole shapes were also produced including stepped holes and taper free holes.

  • This paper presents a method to reduce commutation torque ripple in a sensorless brushless DC motor drive without current sensors. To compensate the commutation torque ripple completely, the duration of commutation must be known. The proposed method measures the duration of commutation from terminal voltage waveforms, calculates a PWM duty ratio to suppress the commutation torque ripple from the output of speed controller, and applies the calculated PWM duty ratio only during the commutation. Experimental results show that vibrations are considerably reduced when the proposed method is applied to the sensorless brushless DC moter drive for air-conditioner compressor.

  • Electrically assisted (EA) springback reduction of grade 2 titanium alloys is demonstrated through u-bending experiments. A single pulse of electric current having a short duration of less than 0.5 sec is applied to a specimen during u-bending. The effect of the electric current condition on the resultant springback is then evaluated. The experimental result shows that the springback of the selected grade 2 titanium alloy could almost be eliminated through application of electric current with a duration less than 0.5 sec prior to unloading. Lastly, an exemplary industrial application of EA springback control is presented.

  • The in vivo behaviour of phenylephrine hydrochloride in different vehicles like gels of Carbopol $907^circledR$, Carbopol $934P^circledR$ and latex system of cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate(CAHP) was evaluated by measuring the reduction in intraocular pressure and the mydriatic activity. The parameters that haave been utilised to assess the performance of the formulations were the area under the curve (AUC), the maximum mydriasis $(I_{max})$, ethe time of maximum response $(T_{max})$ and the duration of activity (D). The influence of viscosity and mucoadhesion on the bioavailability parameters has also been investigated. Carbopol 934P and CAHP formulations showed prolonged duration of action and greater AUC compared to Carbopol 907 aqueous solution(P<0.05).
