In general, the characteristics of components which consist of multi-component system can not be the same. This paper proposes a maintenance model of multi-component system considering the characteristics of each component. In this paper, multi-component system is divided into three components-critical unit, major unit and minor unit, respectively. This paper determines the optimal replacement time of the system which minimizes total maintenance cost, optimal replacement period of major unit and initial stock quantity of minor unit within this optimal replacement time. Numerical examples are shown when the failure times of each unit have gamma distribution.

It was found possible to evaluate the temperature at which major scale failure takes place during cooling by installing a most modem acoustic emission(AE) analytical system. Ultra low carbon steel and low carbon steels containing a few minor alloying elements were oxidized in air at 900, 1050 and $1200^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, and then cooled in vacuum at 30, 70 and $110^{\circ}C/min$. The significance of the present research is the evaluation of the spallation temperature and thus the calculation of apparent thermal stress for scale spallation using the difference between oxidation temperature and spallation temperature. They were assessed as 0.22 to 0.68, 0.45 to 1.80, and 0.65 to 1.95 GPa for oxidation at 900, 1050 and $1200^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This paper presents a software reliability model that is based on a nonhomogeneous poisson process. The major contribution of this model is combining multiple failure types with imperfect debugging by use of S-shaped mean value function. The software reliability model allows for three different types of errors: Critical errors are the most difficult to detect and the most expensive to remove. Major errors are moderately difficult to detect and fairly expensive to remove. Minor errors are easy to detect and inexpensive to remove. The model also allows for the introduction of any of these types of errors during the removal of an error. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the above techniques.

실리카질 모래에 대한 많은 시험결과로부터 삼축압축시첩과 평면변형시험간의 강도관계를 밀도와 파괴시 유효평균주응력의 함수로 표현하였다. 또한 파괴시 평균주응력과 축차응력간의 응력비가 내부마찰각의 함수로 잘 규정되었으며 그 비는 내부마찰각의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 또한 중간주응력을 최대주응력과 최소주응력으로써 표현하였으며 이론적인 파괴면의 각도와 평면변형시험에서 관찰된 파괴면의 각도가 비교적 잘 일치함이 확인되었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical characteristics of plain and steel fiber high strength concrete under uniaxial and biaxial loading condition. A number of plain and steel fiber high strength concrete cubes having 28 days compressive strength of 82.7Mpa (12,000psi) were made and tested. Four principal compression stress ratios, and four fiber concentrations were selected as major test variables. From test results, it is shown that confinement stress in minor stress direction has pronounced effect on the strength and deformational behavior. Both of the stiffness and ultimate strength of the plain and fiber high strength concrete increased. The maximum increase of ultimate strength occurred at biaxial stress ratio of 0.5 in the plain high strength concrete and the value were recorded 30 percent over than the strength under uniaxial condition. The failure modes of plain high strength concrete under uniaxial compression were shown as splitting type of failure but steel fiber concrete specimens under biaxial condition showed shear type failure.

This paper presents a new numerical solution of the ultimate lateral capacity of rectangular piles in clay. The two-dimensional plane strain finite element was employed to determine the limit load of this problem. A rectangular pile is subjected to purely lateral loading along either its major or minor axes. Complete parametric studies were performed for two dimensionless variables including: (1) the aspect ratios of rectangular piles were studied in the full range from plates to square piles loaded along either their major or minor axes; and (2) the adhesion factors between the soil-pile interface were studied in the complete range from smooth surfaces to rough surfaces. It was found that the dimensionless load factor of rectangular piles showed a highly non-linear function with the aspect ratio of piles and a slightly non-linear function with the adhesion factor at the soil-pile interface. In addition, the dimensionless load factor of rectangular piles loaded along the major axis was significantly higher than that loaded along the minor axis until it converged to the same value at square piles. The solutions of finite element analyses were verified with the finite element limit analysis for selected cases. The empirical equation of the dimensionless load factor of rectangular piles was also proposed based on the data of finite element analysis. Because of the plane strain condition of the top view section, results can be only applied to the full-flow failure mechanism around the pile for the prediction of limiting pressure at the deeper length of a very long pile with full tension interface that does not allow any separation at soil-pile interfaces.

In designing earthquake-resistant structures, we traditionally select dynamic loads based on the recurrence period of earthquakes, using individual seismic records or aligning them with the design spectrum. However, these records often represent isolated waveforms lacking continuity, underscoring the need for a deeper understanding of natural seismic phenomena. The Earth's crustal movement, both before and after a significant earthquake, can trigger a series of both minor and major seismic events. These minor earthquakes, which often occur in short time before or after the major seismic events, prompt a critical reassessment of their potential impact on structural design. In this study, we conducted a detailed tunnel response analysis to assess the impact of both single mainshock and multiple earthquake scenarios (including foreshock-mainshock and mainshock-aftershock sequences). Utilizing numerical analysis, we explored how multiple earthquakes affect tunnel deformation. Our findings reveal that sequential seismic events, even those of moderate magnitude, can exert considerable stress on tunnel lining, resulting in heightened bending stress and permanent displacement. This research highlights a significant insight: current seismic design methodologies, which predominantly focus on the largest seismic intensity, may fail to account for the cumulative impact of smaller, yet frequent, seismic events like foreshocks and aftershocks. Our results demonstrate that dynamic analyses considering only a single mainshock are likely to underestimate the potential damage (i.e., ovaling deformation, failure lining, permanent displacement etc.) when compared to analyses that incorporate multiple earthquake scenarios.

세계 인구의 지속적인 증가와 주거 공간 부족에 대한 대응으로, 인류 거주 영역의 새로운 대안과 해양 환경의 활용 방향을 제시하기 위해, 해저 공간 개발에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 석션 케이슨 기초는 해저 공간 개발을 위해 연구되고 있는 기초 유형 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 통해 해양 환경하에 조합하중이 가해진 석션 케이슨 기초의 파괴포락선을 산정하였다. 유한요소해석의 지반은 깊이에 따라 강도가 선형적으로 증가하는 점토 지반으로 가정하였으며, 점토의 구성모델로 von Mises 모델을 적용하였다. 전반적으로 파괴포락선의 형태는 기울어진 타원의 형태를 나타냈다. 깊이에 따른 비배수전단강도의 증가 추세가 커지는 경우, 파괴포락선은 장축과 단축의 비율은 유지되며 크기가 증가하였다. 길이 대 직경비가 다른 두 석션 케이슨 기초의 파괴포락선을 비교했을 때, 길이대 직경비가 증가함에 따라 석션 케이슨 기초의 파괴포락선의 장축과 단축의 비율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 본 해석 결과는 해양 환경에서 석션 케이슨 기초의 설계에 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A series of reinforced concrete beams was tested to evaluate the flexural performance of the repaired RC beams. The key parameters for this study were the size and location of the patch, and the repair materials, including polymer, polymer-cementitious and cementitious materials. The repaired specimens failed by a typical flexural mode with minor interfacial bond failure. Beams repaired with polymer, polymer-cementitious and cementitious materials recover 100%, 91%, and 97% of the flexural strength respectively, while beams with cement mortar lose approximately 30% of the strength. Compared with the pressure injection techniques the specimens repaired with patching techniques show low flexural strength, with significant interfacial bond failure. Location and size of the repaired part do not affect the recovering performance. Interfacial behavior between repair and strengthening materials is the major influencing factor for the composite structures.

This paper presents the results of a series of tests carried out on cold-formed steel rectangular hollow and concrete infilled beam to column connections and frames. A stub column was chosen such that overall buckling does not influence the connection behaviour. The beam chosen was a short-span cantilever with a concentrated load applied at the free end. The beam was connected to the columns along the strong and weak axes of columns and these connections were tested to failure. Twelve experiments were conducted on cold-formed steel direct welded tubular beam to column connections and twelve experiments on connections with concrete infilled column subjected to monotonic loading. In all the experiments conducted, the stiffness of the connection, the ductility characteristics and the moment rotation behaviour were studied. The dominant mode of failure in hollow section connections was chord face yielding and not weld failure. Provision of concrete infill increases the stiffness and the ultimate moment carrying capacity substantially, irrespective of the axis of loading of the column. Weld failure and bearing failure due to transverse compression occurred in connections with concrete infilled columns. Six single-bay two storied frames both with and without concrete infill, and columns loaded along the major and minor axes were tested to failure. Concentrated load was applied at the midspan of first floor beam. The change in behaviour of the frame due to provision of infill in the column and in the entire frame was compared with hollow frames. Failure of the weld at the junction of the beam occurred for frames with infilled columns. Design expressions are suggested for the yielding of the column face in hollow sections and bearing failure in infilled columns which closely predicted the experimental failure loads.
