One of the important requirements for the application of reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel is to retain proper mechanical properties under irradiation and high-temperature conditions. To simulate the yield strength and stress-strain curve of steels during high-temperature and irradiation conditions, a multiscale simulation method consisting of both microstructure and strengthening simulations was established. The simulation results of microstructure parameters were added to a superposition strengthening model, which consisted of constitutive models of different strengthening methods. Based on the simulation results, the strength contribution for different strengthening methods at both room temperature and high-temperature conditions was analyzed. The simulation results of the yield strength in irradiation and high-temperature conditions were mainly consistent with the experimental results. The optimal application field of this multiscale model was 9Cr series (7-9 wt.%Cr) RAFM steels in a condition characterized by 0.1-5 dpa (or 0 dpa) and a temperature range of $25-500^{\circ}C$.

본 연구의 주 목적은 유리 및 탄소단섬유 (chopped fiber)와 에폭시 및 비닐에스터수지 (resin)를 외기에서 혼합하여 요철이 많은 콘크리트 표면에 고속의 압찰 공기로 랜덤하게 분사하여 기존 콘크리트 구조물을 보강하는 새로운 공법, 즉 sprayed FRP 보수보강 공법을 개발하는 것으로서, 본 연구에서는 sprayed FRP 보강을 위한 치적의 재료 물성치를 제시하고자 유리 및 탄소단섬유의 길이, 단섬유와 에폭시 및 비닐에스터수지의 배합 비율 등을 주요변수로 설정하여 재료 인장시험을 실시하였다. 또한 상기 재료 시험 결과를 바탕으로 sprayed FRP 공법을 이용하여 보강된 철근콘크리트 휨 보, 전단 보 및 손상 보의 보강 성능을 실험적 연구를 토대로 평가하였다. 그 결과, 유리 및 탄소단섬유의 길이 38 mm, 섬유와 수지의 배합 비율 1 : 2가 최적 물성치로 제안되었으며, sprayed FRP의 휨 및 전단 보의 보강 효과는 기존 FRP sheet와 유사한 보강 효과를 나타냈으며, 손상 보의 경우 최대 강도의 결과를 비교해보면 보강 보와 동등한 보강 효과가 나타났다. 기존 FRP 설계식의 적용 가능성을 분석해본 결과, sprayed FRP 휨실험체의 경우 기존설계식의 적용이 가능한 것으로 드러났으며, 전단실험체의 경우는 전단강도 저감계수 ${\alpha}=0.18$이 실험값과 근접한 범위 내에서 안전 측으로 설계가 되는 것으로 사료된다.

교량은 도로나 철도 네트워크를 구성하는 중요한 사회기반시설로 부재의 파손으로 인한 보수, 보강, 교체에 따른 교통통제나 갑작스런 붕괴 등이 발생할 경우 사회경제적으로 커다란 손실과 인명사상을 유발하기 때문에 일정한 안전수준 이상으로 관리되어야 한다. 사용연수의 증가에 따라 열화 손상되거나, 사고, 천재지변 등으로 인해 문제가 발생한 교량의 성능을 회복시키기 위하여 다양한 보강 공법들이 연구되고 있다. 그러나 어떤 공법을 사용하는 것이 합리적인가에 대한 판단기준 없이 의사결정을 수행하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 개략 설계된 여러 보강대안 중 최적 보강공법을 선정하는 문제를 해결하기 위해, 의사결정인자를 도출하고 불확실성을 고려한 정량적 평가 및 의사결정방법을 제안하였으며, 이를 간략한 예제에 적용하여 개발된 모델의 합리성 및 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법론은 불확실성이 존재하는 대안들 가운데 최적의 대안을 선택하는 분야에 응용하여 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Strengthening slender reinforced concrete (RC) columns is a challenge. They are susceptible to overall buckling that induces bending moment and axial compression. This study presents the precise three-dimensional finite element modeling of slender RC columns strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites sheets with various patterns under concentric or eccentric compression. The slenderness ratio λ (height/width ratio) of the studied columns ranged from 15 to 35. First, to determine the optimal modeling procedure, nine alternative nonlinear finite element models were presented to simulate the experimental behavior of seven FRP-strengthened slender RC columns under eccentric compression. The models simulated concrete behavior under compression and tension, FRP laminate sheets with different fiber orientations, crack propagation, FRP-concrete interface, and eccentric compression. Then, the validated modeling procedure was applied to simulate 58 FRP-strengthened slender RC columns under compression with minor eccentricity to represent the inevitable geometric imperfections. The simulated columns showed two cross sections (square and rectangular), variable λ values (15, 22, and 35), and four strengthening patterns for FRP sheet layers (hoop H, longitudinal L, partial longitudinal L_w, and longitudinal coupled with hoop LH). For λ=15-22, pattern L showed the highest strengthening effectiveness, pattern L_w showed brittle failure, steel reinforcement bars exhibited compressive yielding, ties exhibited tensile yielding, and concrete failed under compression. For λ>22, pattern L_w outperformed pattern L in terms of the strengthening effectiveness relative to equivalent weight of FRP layers, steel reinforcement bars exhibited crossover tensile strain, and concrete failed under tension. Patterns H and LH (compared with pattern L) showed minor strengthening effectiveness.

By strengthening the insulation performance of a building, a great deal of energy can be saved and a comfortable indoor environment can be offered to people. On the other hand, the climate, which has a great influence on the indoor environment, is changed by global warming. Therefore, in planning building envelope structure and design, climate change should be considered. In this paper, the optimal insulation thickness of exterior walls was calculated by an economic assessment method using heating degree-days. Additionally, how much influence climate change has on planning building insulation was investigated. The examination showed that heating degree-days have decreased by about 10% due to climate change in the past few decades. It was also shown that the optimal insulation thickness of exterior walls was thin, at about 6%, in three representative Korean cities (Seoul, Daejeon, Jeju).

Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) placement is a crucial problem for State Estimation (SE) of the power system, which can ensure that the power network is fully observed. Further, the observation reliability problem of the system has been concerned in the operation conditions. In this paper, based on modified weighted adjacent matrix ($A_w$), an optimal placement method is proposed to solve simultaneously two problems involving the optimal PMU placement problem and the observation reliability enhancement problem of the system. The purpose of the proposed method is to achieve both the minimum total cost and the maximum observation reliability, with a focus on increasing the security of observability, strengthening the observation reliability of buses as well as enhancing the effectiveness of redundancy. Simulations on IEEE 14, 24, 30 and 57 bus test systems are presented to justify the methodology. The results of this study show that the proposed method is not only ensuring the power network having the observability effectively but also enhancing significantly the observation reliability. Therefore, it can be a useful tool for SE of the power system.

This study was to define the strengthening effect of steel fibers in high strength RC columns. For this, ten specimens of columns were tested under cyclic lateral load and constant axial load. The testing parameters are steel fiber volume fraction of concrete and shear reinforcement ratio of hoop bars. Finally, the optimal content of steel fibers was evaluated as 1.0 - 1.5 % volume fraction of concrete.
