The purpose of this study is to propose structural technologies on the light-weight composite floor systems in the unit modular and to evaluate structural performance of the composite floor through flexural experiments. The flexural experiments were carried out on total nine specimens(each three type in shape) using steel flat deck and truss deck. From the results of test, all specimens showed the same failure patterns which exhibited deflection at the center of the specimens due to flexural deformation before concrete crushing at the upper of specimens. Also, we know that the proposed floors satisfied in serviceability and would be safe sufficiently. The ratio of experimental yield load by theoretical nominal load was the distribution of 0.86 to 1.27 with an average 1.04. Coefficient of variation in distribution showed good agreement.

Composite honeycomb sandwich plate is light and strong. It is easy to produce. It began to be applied to the bodyshell of rolling stock. Generally, weight saving amounts to 27%. However, the material cost of it is much higher than that of aluminum extrusion profile, which prevents popular use of it for bodyshell. In this paper, manufacturing processes of two light materials were compared to investigate cost impact. After cost breakdown was defined, economics of two materials was analyzed using the previous cost data. Easy production of composite bodyshell could compensate for higher material cost. Mass production of composite bodyshell can make the equipment cost lower for the composite bodyshell so that it may have strong competitiveness to the aluminum bodyshell. Operational energy saving due to weight reduction was also presented referring to the actual statistical data in a metro line.

Currently, the most used forms, such as euro form and aluminum form, has many problems. There are issues with noise of construction site because of existing forms' material and issues with safety because of heavy weight. To solve these problems, there are many researches on using plastic and composite materials on the formwork. However, plastic has lower tensile strength than the steel and aluminum and composite materials are expensive. Therefore, constructors are avoid to use the forms with new materials. The purpose of this study is to develop light-weight plastic form to solve these existing problems by using ABS with optimized design. To verify, the study measured the amount of deflection from developed form through a load test. The test result showed a deflection of 1.15mm when 1.4ton was loaded in the middle of form. The result of the study verified that the usage of ABS and optimized design effectively reduced the weight and noise. Also, it's performance was verified through the load test.

Applications of composite materials in various engineering fields have been extended significantly. For being useful composite materials, we could modify the rigidity and strength characteristics of composite material according to structures and material direction. In this study, CFRP, which has been widely used in space leisure and general structural applications due to the weight, elasticity coefficient, high fatigue strength and lower thermal transformation ect, was selected. As the CFRP is an anisotropic material whose mechanical properties change with its stacking sequence or angle, special attention was given to the effects of the fiber orientation angle on the bending characteristics of CFRP fiat and CFEP square members. It's different on the each result of strength and rigidity of CFRP flat and CFRP square members.

Honeycomb sandwich composite structures have been widely used in aircraft and military industry because of light weight and high stiffness. Accurate mechanical properties of honeycomb materials are needed for analysis of sandwich composites. In this study, theoretical formula for elastic modulus of honeycomb materials was established considering bending and axial deformations of their walls. Finite-element analysis results were compared with theoretical ones of the longitudinal and transverse moduli of honeycomb materials. Consequently, the mechanical properties of honeycomb materials could be analytically predicted.
