This research focused on analyzing the post-fire behavior of high-performance concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns, with the concrete containing tire rubber and steel fibers, under axial compressive loading. The finite element (FE) modeling of such heated columns containing recycled aggregate is a branch of this field which has not received the proper attention of researchers. Better understanding the post-fire behavior of these columns by measuring their residual strength and deformation is critical for achieving the minimum repair level required for structures damaged in the fire. Therefore, to develop this model, 19 groups of confined and unconfined specimens with the variables including the volume ratio of steel fibers, tire rubber content, diameter-to-thickness (D/t) ratio of the steel tube, and exposure temperature were considered. The ABAQUS software was employed to model the tested specimens so that the accurate behavior of the FE-modeled specimens could be examined under test conditions. To achieve desirable results for the modeling of the specimens, in addition to the novel procedure described in this research, the modified versions of models presented by previous researchers were also utilized. After the completion of modeling, the load-axial strain and load-lateral strain relationships, ultimate strength, and failure mode of the modeled CFST specimens were evaluated against the test data, through which the satisfactory accuracy of this modeling procedure was established. Afterward, using a parametric study, the effect of factors such as the concrete core strength at different temperatures and the D/t ratio on the behavior of the CFST columns was explored. Finally, the compressive strength values obtained from the FE model were compared with the corresponding values predicted by various codes, the results of which indicated that most codes were conservative in terms of these predictions.

Erwinia amylovora is a plant pathogen that causes fire blight on apples and pears. Bacteriophages, which are viruses that selectively infect specific species of bacteria and are harmless to animal cells, have been considered as biological control agents for the prevention of bacterial pathogens. In this study, we aimed to use bacteriophages that infect E. amylovora as biocontrol agents against fire blight. We isolated bacteriophages Fifi044 and Fifi318 infecting E. amylovora, and characterized their morphology, plaque form, and genetic diversity to use as cocktails for disease control. The stabilities of the two phages were investigated at various temperatures and pH values and under sunlight, and long-term storage experiment was conducted for a year. To evaluate whether the two phages were suitable for use in cocktail form, growth curves of E. amylovora were prepared after treating the bacterial cells with single phages and a phage cocktail. In addition, a disease control test was conducted using immature apples and in vitro cultured apple plantlets to determine the biocontrol effects of the phage cocktail. The two phages were morphologically and genetically different, and highly stable up to 50℃ and pH value from 4 to 10. The phages showed synergistic effect when used as a cocktail in the inhibition of host bacterial growth and the disease control. This study demonstrated that the potential of the phage cocktail as a biocontrol agent for commercial use.

터널에서의 화재는 지상 화재에 비해 온도상승과 최대온도가 더 높게 나타난다. 이러한 이유로 네덜란드, 독일 등 여러 나라에서는 터널에서 사용하는 별도의 화재 시간이력곡선을 제시하였다. 터널 내 화재는 단면손실과 그 배면의 역학적 특성저하와 같은 터널 라이닝의 손상을 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 화재안정성 설계 개념과 스폴링에 의한 단면손실, 터널 라이닝 재료의 물리화학적 및 역학적 특성 변화, 구조물 안전을 위한 내화재, 그리고 화재손상 예측모델에 대해 살펴보았다. 화재에 대한 구조물의 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 설계 단계에서 구조물의 종류와 화재원인을 파악하고 예상되는 단면손실과 손상범위를 확인하여 내화재를 통해 이러한 손상에 대비하는 작업이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 일련의 작업을 수행하는데 참고할 수 있는 사항들을 정리하고 이에 대한 의견을 제시하였다.

This study experimentally and theoretically examines the fire characteristics of 100- by 100- by 50-mm samples of flame retardant treated Douglas fir. Samples were exposed to a range of incident heat fluxes 10 to $50kW/m^2$. The time to ignition measurements obtained from the cone heater were used to derive characteristic properties of the materials. A one-dimensional integral model has been used to predict the, time to ignition, critical heat flux and ignition temperature of samples. Ignition data and best-fit curves confirm ${{\dot{q}}_i}^{'}{\rightarrow}{{\dot{q}}_{cr}^{'}\;then\;t_{ig}{\rightarrow}{\infty}$ and when ${{\dot{q}}_i}^'{\gg}{{\dot{q}}_{cr}^'\;then\;t_{ig}{\rightarrow}0$. And Ignition of flame retardant treated samples occurred not at incident heat flux of bellow $10kW/m^2.$. By a one-dimensional integral model, the critical heat flux of each samples was predicted $10.21kW/m^2,\;11.82kW/m^2,\;and\;14.16kW/m^2$ for the D-N, D-F2, and D-F4, respectively. In ignition temperature of each samples, flame retardant treated samples were measured high about $50^{\circ}C$ than non-treated samples. Water-soluble flame retardant used in this study finds out more effect in delay of time to ignition when incident heat flux is low than high.

Fire ranks high among the potential risks faced by most buildings and structures. A full understanding of temperature effects on fiber reinforced concrete is still lacking. This investigation focuses on the study of the residual compressive strength, stress strain behavior and surface cracking of structural polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete subjected to temperatures up to $300^{\circ}C$. A total of 48 cubes was cast with different fiber dosages and tested under compression after exposing to different temperatures. Concrete cubes with varying macro (structural) fiber dosages were exposed to different temperatures and tested to observe the stress-strain behavior. Digital image correlation, an advanced non-contacting method was used for measuring the strain. Trends in the relative residual strengths with respect to different fiber dosages indicate an improvement up to 15 % in the ultimate compressive strengths at all exposure temperatures. The stress-strain curves show an improvement in post peak behavior with increasing fiber dosage at all exposure temperatures considered in this study.

The removal characteristics of copper (Cu) from electrochemical surface by voltage-activated reaction were reviewed to assess the applicability of electrochemical-mechanical polishing (ECMP) process in three types of electrolytes, such as HNO₃, KNO₃ and NaNO₃. Electrochemical surface conditions such as active, passive, transient and trans-passive states were monitored from its current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curves obtained by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) method. In addition, the oxidation and reduction process of the Cu surface by repetitive input of positive and negative voltages were evaluated from the I-V curve obtained using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. Finally, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were used to observe the structural surface states of a Cu electrode. The electrochemical analyses proposed in this study will help to accurately control the material removal rate (MRR) from the actual ECMP process because they are a good methodology for predicting optimal electrochemical process parameters such as current density, operating voltage, and operating time before performing the ECMP process.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanical properties of 6061 Al foams, which were fabricated by P/M and multi-step induction heating method, and to build the database, which is needed for computer aided modeling or foam components design. Aluminium foams, consisting of solid aluminium and large quantities of porosities, is widely used in automotive, aerospace, naval as well as functional applications because of its high stiffness at very low density, high impact energy absorption, heat and fire resistance, and greater thermal stability than any organic material. In this study, 6061 Al foams were fabricated for variation of fraction of porosities (%) according to porosities (%)-final heating temperature ( $T_{a3}$) curves. Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, energy absorption capacity, and efficiency were investigated to evaluate the feasibility of foams as crash energy absorbing components. Moreover, effect of the surface skin thickness on plateau stress and strain sensitivity of the 6061 Al foams with low porosities (%) were studied.d.
