Spent fuel behavior of dry storage was simulated in a continuous state from steady-state operation by modifying FRAPCON-4.0 to incorporate spent fuel-specific fuel behavior models. Spent fuel behavior of a typical PWR was compared with that of NuScale Power Module (NPM^TM). Current PWR discharge burnup (60 MWd/kgU) gives a sufficient margin to the hoop stress limit of 90 MPa. Most hydrogen precipitation occurs in the first 50 years of dry storage, thereby no extra phenomenological safety factor is identified for extended dry storage up to 100 years. Regulation for spent fuel management can be significantly alleviated for LWR-based SMRs. Hydride embrittlement safety criterion is irrelevant to NuScale spent fuels; they have sufficiently lower plenum pressure and hydrogen contents compared to those of PWRs. Cladding creep out during dry storage reduces the subchannel area with burnup. The most deformed cladding outer diameter after 100 years of dry storage is found to be 9.64 mm for discharge burnup of 70 MWd/kgU. It may deteriorate heat transfer of dry storage by increasing flow resistance and decreasing the view factor of radiative heat transfer. Self-regulated by decreasing rod internal pressure with opening gap, cladding creep out closely reaches the saturated point after ~50 years of dry storage.

The test method on the Type II high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks made of the metal wire hoop winding is a complex and high risk. Also closeup on the tank being test is difficult. In this study, we studied a mechanical test method for a high-pressure hydrogen tanks. This method must be simple, risk-free and possible to observe the change in microscopic behavior of a metal wire on a liner. As the results, it was possible to observe the microscopic behavior on the metal wire by the mechanical test method. Also, a simple and risk-free test was possible compared to the conventional test method for high pressure hydrogen tanks.

원통형 복합재 격자 구조체는 필라멘트 와인딩 기법으로 제작되며 제작 공정에서 발생할 수 있는 섬유체적비 불균일과 수지응집층은 구조체의 강성도 및 강도에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 구조체의 주요 요소인 후프 및 헬리컬 리브의 단면 분석을 통해 섬유체적비 불균일 및 수지응집층의 존재 여부를 확인하였으며, 단면 분석 결과를 바탕으로 후프 및 헬리컬 리브에 대한 실험 및 이론적 접근을 통해 섬유체적비 불균일 및 수지응집층이 리브 요소의 강성도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 섬유체적비 불균일이 후프 리브의 굽힘 거동에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였으며 헬리컬 리브의 경우 섬유체적비 불균일 및 수지응집층에 의해 강성도에 변화가 있음을 확인하였다.

프리캐스트 보-기둥 연결부에는 기둥 주근과 보의 정착철근, 연결부를 위한 띠철근 등으로 매우 복잡한 배근상태로 철근 배근과 콘크리트의 타설 및 다짐이 용이하지 않다. 특히 보의 갈고리는 띠철근 또는 주근과의 마주침이 흔히 발생하는 철근으로, 외곽기둥의 경우 충분한 정착길이를 확보하기가 더욱 난해할 때가 있다. 본 연구에서는 헤드철근을 적용한 보-기둥 연결부를 위하여 두 개의 프리캐스트 기둥과 하나의 프리캐스트 보를 연결한 4개의 실험체를 제작하여, 보-기둥접합부와 기둥-기둥접합부에 대한 반복하중실험으로 강도와 그 이력거동을 평가하여 보았다. 실험 결과 강주 약보 실험체들은 갈고리철근과 유사한 거동을 보였다. 국내에서 주로 적용되는 스플라이스 기둥 접합은 강주 약보의 기둥에서는 충분한 내력을 발휘하였다.

본 연구는 철근콘크리트 기둥 횡보강근의 형태 특히 크로스타이의 유무 및 단부 정착형태에 따른 내진성능을 평가하기 위한 실험연구이다. 계획된 실험변수인 크로스타이의 유무, 크로스타이의 단부 정착형태(헤드형 또는 갈고리형), 그리고 기둥 축응력의 크기에 따라 총 5개의 기둥 실험체를 제작한 뒤 일정 축력하에 횡방향 반복가력 실험을 수행한 후, 크로스타이가 철근콘크리트 기둥의 구조성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험으로부터, 크로스타이가 없이 띠철근만으로 횡보강된 기둥은, 낮은 횡력에서 균열과 함께 띠철근이 휨변형한 뒤 코아 콘크리트가 탈락되는 파괴양상을 보인 반면에 크로스타이가 있는 기둥은 균열이 발생한 이후에도 띠철근이 휨변형과 주근좌굴을 억제하고 코아 콘크리트를 효과적으로 구속하여 내력 및 연성을 증진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 횡방향 대변형시, 갈고리형 크로스타이는 $90^{\circ}$ 갈고리 부분이 펴지면서 코아 콘크리트가 탈락되는 양상을 보이지만 헤드형 크로스타이는 대변형 시에도 헤드가 매우 효과적으로 띠철근과 주근을 구속하여 높은 내력과 연성능력을 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다.

One of the main applications of FRP composites is confining concrete columns. Hence identifying the cyclic and monotonic stress-strain behavior of confined concrete columns and the parameters influencing this behavior is inevitable. Two significant parameters affecting the stress-strain behavior are aspect ratio and corner radius. The present study aims to scrutinize the effects of corner radius and aspect ratio on different aspects of stress-strain behavior of FRP confined concrete specimens (rectangular, square and circular). Hence 44 FRP confined concrete specimens were tested and the results of the tests were investigated. The findings indicated that for specimens with different aspect ratios, the relationship between the ultimate stress and the corner radius is linear and the variations of the ultimate stress versus the corner radius decreases as a result of an increase in aspect ratio. It was also observed that increase of the corner radius results in increase of the compressive strength and ultimate axial strain and increase of the aspect ratio causes an increase of the ultimate axial strain but a decrease of the compressive strength. Investigation of the ultimate condition showed that the FRP hoop rupture strain is smaller in comparison with the one obtained from the tensile coupon test and also the ultimate axial strain and confined concrete strength are smaller when a prism is under monotonic loading. Other important results of this study were, an increase in the axial strain during the early stage of unloading paths and increase of the confining effect of FRP jacket with the increase and decrease of the corner radius and aspect ratio respectively, a decrease in the slope of reloading branches with cycle repetitions and the independence of this trend from the variations of the aspect ratio and corner radius and also quadric relationship between the number of each cycle and the plastic strain of the same cycle as well as the independence of this relationship from the aspect ratio and corner radius.

The objective of this study is to investigate the hysteretic behaviors of exterior beam-column joints with high strength concrete (f'c≒1000kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) subjected to cyclic loads. Four exterior subassemblages scaled down about 60% were tested, whose variables were with/without shear reinforcements and with/without slab and spandrel beams. Hoop bars and hooked steel fibers were used as the shear reinforcements. The test results showed that using hooked steel fiber reinforced concrete with volume ratio 1.5% at beam-column joints was very effective to resist shear stress due to cyclic loads.

The corrugated steel plate structures is applied to the construction of mountain tunnel portal part with shallow depth, the tunnel on the outskirts of urban areas and ecology move passage. In this study, A finite element method is used for research the behavior of corrugated steel plate structures due to construction position under declinating earth pressure and excavation depth. A finite element method were performed varying construction position(10, 15, 20 and 25m) from slope and excavation depth from surface. The hoop thrust and moment, displacement of corrugated steel plate subjected to construction position and excavation depth is determined from a finite element method. From results of finite element method, it was found that the increase of thrust and the decrease of displacement as the amount of distance increase from slope with construction position. But the thrust and moment, displacement has not different value with excavation depth.

This paper provides plastic limit loads of pipes with constant-depth, circumferential part-through surface cracks under combined pressure and bending. A key issue is to postulate discontinuous hoop stress distributions in the net-section. Validity of the proposed limit load solutions is checked against the results from three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) limit analyses using elastic-perfectly plastic material behavior.

This article presents a semi-analytical solution for an exponentially graded piezoelectric hollow sphere. The sphere interacts with electric displacement, elastic deformations, electric potentials, magneto-thermo-elasticity, and hygrothermal influences. The hollow sphere may be standing under both mechanical and electric potentials. Electro-magneto-elastic behavior of magnetic field vector can be described in the hollow sphere. All material, thermal and magnetic properties of hollow sphere are supposed to be graded in radial direction. A semi-analytical technique is improved to deduce all fields in which different boundary conditions for radial stress and electric potential are presented. Numerical examples for radial displacement, radial and hoop stresses, and electric potential are investigated. The influence of many parameters is studied. It is seen that the gradation of all material, thermal and magnetic properties has particular effectiveness in many applications of modern technology.
