Direct containment heating (DCH) is one of the potential factors leading to early containment failure. DCH is closely related to safety analysis and containment performance evaluation of nuclear power plants. In this study, a DCH prediction program was developed to analyze the DCH loads of containment vessel. The phenomenological model of debris dispersal, metal oxidation reaction, debris-atmospheric heat transfer and hydrogen jet burn was established. Code assessment was performed by comparing with several separate effect tests and integral effect tests. The comparison between the predicted results and experimental data shows that the program can predict the key parameters such as peak pressure, temperature, and hydrogen production in containment well, and for most comparisons the relative errors can be maintained within 20%. Among them, the prediction uncertainty of hydrogen production is slightly larger. The analysis shows that the main sources of the error are the difference of time scale and the oxidation of cavity debris.

Reinforced concrete (RC) beam column joints (BCJ) have mostly exhibited poor seismic performance during several past earthquakes, typically due to the poor-quality concrete or lack of reinforcement detailing typical of pre-code design practice. The present study is motivated towards numerical simulation and seismic fragility assessment of one such RC-BCJ. The BCJ is loaded to failure and strengthened using Ultra High Performance-Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHP-HFRC) jacketing. The strengthening is performed for four different BCJ specimens, each representing an intermediate damage state before collapse. viz., slight, moderate, severe, and collapse. From the numerical simulation of all the BCJ specimens, an attempt is made to correlate different modelling and design parameters of the BC joint with respect to the damage states. In addition, seismic fragility analysis of the original as well as the retrofitted damaged BCJ specimens show the relative enhancement achieved in each case.

As the most popular shear connection in composite structures, mature concrete has been widely investigated by considering mechanical properties of stud connectors (SCs) embedded. To further enhance the fabrication efficiency of composite structures and solve the contradiction between construction progress and structural performance, it is required to analyze the shear performance of stud connections of composite structures with different concrete ages. 18 typical vertical push-out tests were carried out on stud shear connectors at concrete ages of 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days. Also, the effects of concrete age, stud spacing and stud diameter on the shear capacity, connection stiffness and failure mode of the connectors were studied. A new relationship expression of load-slip for SCs with various concrete ages was proposed. The existing design code for the SCs shear strength was evaluated according to the experimental data, and a more practical prediction equation for the shear capacity of SCs with different concrete ages was established. A great agreement was observed between the experimental and theoretical results, which can provide a reference for engineering practices.

퇴적층과 암반층이 층상구조로 되어있는 지반의 층상암반층 위에 말뚝기초를 설계할 경우, 연직하중에 대한 지지암반의 파괴모드(휨파괴, 펀칭전단파괴 혹은 선단지지파괴)를 검토하고 지지력을 계산하기 위해서는 층상지지암반층의 구조해석이 필요하다. 그러나 ACI committee 436과 우리나라 구조물기초설계기준에서 제안하고 있는 기존의 이용 가능한 탄성평판해석법(Elastic Plate Analysis Method)은 매우 복잡하여 기술자가 이용하는데 어려움이 많다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 복잡한 탄성평판해석법 대신 비교적 간단한 원형기초해석법(Circular Foundation Analysis Method)을 이용할 수 있도록 등가유효폭(반경)의 개념과 식을 제시하였고, 이를 통하여 탄성평판해석에 의한 모멘트와 전단력이 원형평판해석의 결과와 같도록 관계식을 제안하였다. 그 결과 등가유효폭을 이용한 원형기초해석의 방법은 매우 단순하고 편리하였고, 제안된 방법에 의한 결과를 탄성평판해석과 유한요소해석 결과와 비교한 결과 매우 잘 일치하였다.

FRP bar를 철근 대체제로 활용하기 위해서는 설계 기준의 확립이 시급하나 국내에서는 이 소재에 대한 기초 연구가 부족한 상황이다. 그러므로 2차에 걸쳐 전단보강이 없는 18개의 FRP RC와 4개의 기존 RC 실험체의 거동을 관찰하였다. 1차 실험은 휨 파괴 거동과 사용성 항목의 계측 자료 수집을 목적으로 시작되었다. 휨파괴를 유도하기 위하여 전단배근을 강화하는 대신 그로 인한 거동의 불확실성을 배제하기 위하여 전단지간비만을 조정하여 휨파괴를 유도하고, 전단배근을 사용하지 않기로 하였다. 실험 결과 거의 모든 실험체는 전단파괴 되었으며 실험계획에 적용한 ACI 440.1R과 CSA S806의 전단 강도식이 실제와 큰 편차가 있음을 확인하였다. 1차 실험의 결과를 근거로 2차 실험에서는 전단파괴거동을 집중적으로 관찰하였다. 표준 실험체의 제원은 길이 3,300 mm폭 ${\times}$ 800 mm ${\times}$ 유효깊이 200 mm, 순지간 2,800 mm, 전단지간 1,200 mm로 전단지간비는 6.0이며, 단순지지 조건으로 4점 재하실험을 수행하였다. 검토 변수에는 콘크리트 압축강도, 보강근의 종류 및 탄성계수, 전단지간비, 유효보강비, 다발 배근의 영향, 피복두께의 영향이 포함된다.

Man-made structure materials like concrete usually contain inclusions. These inclusions affect the mechanical properties of concrete. In this investigation, the influence of inclusion length and inclination angle on three-dimensional failure mechanism of concrete under uniaxial compression were performed using experimental test and numerical simulation. Approach of acoustic emission were jointly used to analyze the damage and fracture process. Besides, by combining the stress-strain behavior, quantitative determination of the thresholds of crack stress were done. concrete specimens with dimensions of 120 mm × 150 mm × 100 mm were provided. One and two holes filled by gypsum are incorporated in concrete samples. To build the inclusion, firstly cylinder steel tube was pre-inserting into the concrete and removing them after the initial hardening of the specimen. Secondly, the gypsum was poured into the holes. Tensile strengths of concrete and gypsum were 2.45 MPa and 1.5 MPa, respectively. The angle bertween inclusions and axial loadind ary from 0 to 90 with increases of 30. The length of inclusion vary from 25 mm to 100 mm with increases of 25 mm. Diameter of the hole was 20 mm. Entirely 20 various models were examined under uniaxial test. Simultaneous with experimental tests, numerical simulation (Particle flow code in two dimension) were carried out on the numerical models containing the inclusions. The numerical model were calibrated firstly by experimental outputs and then failure behavior of models containing inclusions have been investigated. The angle bertween inclusions and axial loadind vary from 0 to 90 with increases of 15. The length of inclusion vary from 25 mm to 100 mm with increases of 25 mm. Entirely 32 various models were examined under uniaxial test. Loading rate was 0.05 mm/sec. The results indicated that when inclusion has occupied 100% of sample thickness, two tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. When inclusion has occupied 75% of sample thickness, four tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. When inclusions have occupied 50% and 25% of sample thickness, four tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. Also the inclusion was failed by one tensile crack. The compressive strength of samples decease with the decreases of the inclusions length, and inclusion angle had some effects on that. Failure of concrete is mostly due to the tensile crack. The behavior of crack, was affected by the inclusion length and inclusion number.

본 수치해석논문에서는 절리와 단층대를 포함한 지열저류층에 수리자극을 가할 시 수반되는 유도지진과 단층대의 변형을 개별요소법을 사용하여 모델링하였다. 수채해석기법은 2차원 입자유동코드를 기반으로 하며 수리역학적 상호작용기법과 미소파괴음의 모멘트텐서 역산알고리즘이 결합되었다. 수치해석의 주요결과로는 시공간적으로 변하는 유도지진의 분포와 규모 그리고 단층대의 변형(파괴 및 전단변위)과 주입유체압력의 시공간적 분포와의 상관관계이다. 첫 번째 수치해석으로부터 절리가 분포하는 지열저류층에서의 수리자극에 의한 유도지진의 분포는 주입유체의 점성에 상당한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 주입유체의 점성이 낮은 경우 (1 cP), 유도지진의 발생범위가 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 주입 후 발생하는 유도지진의 개수와 규모 또한 높게 나타났다. 단층대가 존재하는 지열저류층의 수리자극 모델링의 결과, 주입정의 위치가 단층대와 가까운 경우 작은 주입수 압력분포(<0.1 MPa)로도 단층대의 파괴와 전단변형을 일으킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서 소개한 수치해석기법은 수리자극을 통한 지열저류층 개발 시 유도지진의 분포와 규모를 실제 유체주입작업전에 예측할 수 있게 함으로써 지열에너지개발 분야에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The strain rate of reinforced concrete (RC) structures stimulated by earthquake action has been generally recognized as in the range from $10^{-4}/s$ to $10^{-1}/s$. Because both concrete and steel reinforcement are rate-sensitive materials, the RC beam-column joints are bound to behave differently under different strain rates. This paper describes an investigation of seismic behavior of RC beam-column joints which are subjected to large cyclic displacements on the beam ends with three loading velocities, i.e., 0.4 mm/s, 4 mm/s and 40 mm/s respectively. The levels of strain rate on the joint core region are correspondingly estimated to be $10^{-5}/s$, $10^{-4}/s$, and $10^{-2}/s$. It is aimed to better understand the effect of strain rates on seismic behavior of beam-column joints, such as the carrying capacity and failure modes as well as the energy dissipation. From the experiments, it is observed that with the increase of loading velocity or strain rate, damage in the joint core region decreases but damage in the plastic hinge regions of adjacent beams increases. The energy absorbed in the hysteresis loops under higher loading velocity is larger than that under quasi-static loading. It is also found that the yielding load of the joint is almost independent of the loading velocity, and there is a marginal increase of the ultimate carrying capacity when the loading velocity is increased for the ranges studied in this work. However, under higher loading velocity the residual carrying capacity after peak load drops more rapidly. Additionally, the axial compression ratio has little effect on the shear carrying capacity of the beam-column joints, but with the increase of loading velocity, the crack width of concrete in the joint zone becomes narrower. The shear carrying capacity of the joint at higher loading velocity is higher than that calculated with the quasi-static method proposed by the design code. When the dynamic strengths of materials, i.e., concrete and reinforcement, are directly substituted into the design model of current code, it tends to be insufficiently safe.

If a molten core is released from a reactor vessel into a reactor cavity during a severe accident, an important safety issue of coolability of the molten core from top-flooding and concrete ablation due to a molten core concrete interaction (MCCI) is still unresolved. The released molten core debris would attack the concrete wall and basemat of the reactor cavity, which will lead to inevitable concrete decompositions and possible radiological releases. In a OECD/MCCI project scheduled for 4 years from 2002. 1 to 2005. 12, a series of tests were performed to secure the data for cooling the molten core spread out at the reactor cavity and for the 2-D long-term core concrete interaction (CCI). The tests included not only separate effect tests such as a melt eruption, water ingression, and crust failure tests with a prototypic material but also 2-D CCI tests with a prototypic material under dry and flooded cavity conditions. The paper deals with the transient simulations on the CCI-2 test by using a severe accident analysis code, CORQUENCH, which was developed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Similar simulations had been already per for me d by using MELCOR 1.8.5 code. Unlike the MELCOR 1.8.5, the CORQUENCH includes a melt eruption mode I and a newly developed water ingression model based on the water ingression tests under the OECD/MCCI project. In order to adjust the geometrical differences between the CCI-2 test (rectangular geometry) and the simulations (cylindrical geometry), the same scaling methodology as used in the MELCOR simulation was applied. For the direct comparison of the simulation results, the same inputs for the MELCOR simulation were used. The simulation results were compared with the previous results by using MELCOR 1.8.5.

본 논문은 분산 저장 시스템에서 기존의 부분접속수를 일반화한 개념인 결합 부분접속수를 소개하고, 결합 부분접속수($r_1$=2, $r_2$=3 or 4)를 만족하는 부호 설계 방식을 제안한다. 결합 부분접속수란 다양한 수의 노드 손실을 복구하기 위해 필요한 노드 수 집합을 의미한다. 제안된 방식은 완전다분할그래프를 사용하여 부호 설계를 단순화한다. 또한 제안된 방식으로 임의의 양의 정수 t에 대해 (2,t)-가용도를 갖는 이진 부분접속복구 부호를 설계할 수 있다. 즉, 1개 노드 손실 시 t개의 서로소인 복구 집합으로부터 각각 복구가 가능하며, 이때 각 복구 집합의 크기는 최대 2이다. 이러한 성질은 핫 데이터의 병렬처리를 가능하게 하므로 분산 저장 시스템에서 중요한 의미를 갖는다.
