Optimization of cathode properties for intermediate temperature-operating SOFC (IT-SOFC) is carried out by using composite-type electrode structure in this study. Composite cathode may lower cathode overpotential by enhancing mixed ionic-electronic conductivity. In this study, particularly, LSM/YSZ, LSF/YSZ, LSCF/CGO, and PSC/CGO were selected as cathode materials. LSM/YSZ composite cathode showed the best performance of about 0.9${\Omega}cm^2$ at $700^{\circ}C$. It is inferred that the resistance is mainly affected by the reactivity between cathode and electrolyte which can cause the formation of resistive phases. Area specific resistance (ASR) characteristics were not changed significantly with decreasing sintering temperature of cathode, because reaction sites were increased even with worse adhesion of cathode on electrolytes.

Application of long-span bridge, which is affected by parameters such as span length, shoe boundary condition, track property and stiffness of superstructure and substructure etc., can vary. Especially, by CWR aspects of the axial force, that can be less constraints of construction depending on whether the application of rail expansion joint(REJ), which has disadvantaged in terms of maintenance. In this study, it was performed parameter study for multiple variables (shaft length, the upper and lower cross-section characteristics, track characteristics, etc.) in terms of CWR aspects. Structure-rail interaction analysis was applied to the typical simple span PSC Box and 3 span continuous bridge Extradosed Bridge(50m+80m+50m) excluding REJ. If you set the boundary e of variables for long-span railway bridge excluding REJ through the this study, when designing future is expected to be able to useful.

This paper presents a parametric study on the behavior of integral abutment PSC beam bridge. An integral abutment bridge is a simple span or multiple span continuous deck type bridge having the deck integral with the abutment wall. The rational structural model and design load combinations accounting for each construction stage are proposed. It can be used for defining the effect of earth pressure and temperature change in the design process including for determining maximum flexural responses. The bending moment at each response location due to the design load combination is investigated according to the change of flexural rigidity of piles and abutment height. The flexural responses of proposed model are computed for the cases of applying the Rankine passive earth pressure and the earth pressure based on the soil-structure interaction respectively, and the results are discussed.

본 논문은 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델에 의한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 정착부의 거동해석 및 설계에 관한 연구이다. 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물의 정착부는 긴장재의 인장력 도입으로 인해 비교적 작은 단면에 큰 집중하중으로 발생하는 매우 중요한 구조부위이며, 기존의설계가 비교적 다른 구조부위의설계에 비하여 경험적으로 이루어지고 있을 뿐 만 아니라 해석에도 많은 시간과 계산량이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델을 대상 정착부의 비선형 재료거동을 따르도록 비선형 해석을 실시하여 설계를 수행하고 구조물의 극한하중을 추정하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 긴장력이 정착부의 중앙에 도입되는 경우, 편심으로 도입되는 경우, 다중 정착구가 존재하는 경우에 대하여 선형과 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델을 구성하여 정착부의 역학적 거동을 고찰하였고 실험결과와 비교하였다. 비교로부터 비선형 모델을 사용한 경우 선형 모델을 사용한 경우보다 안정성을 유지하면서 경제적인 설계가 가능하고 추정극학강도도 실험결과에 더욱 근접함을 알았다.

Banwol bridge with steel plate girder and Pyongtaek bridge with PSC bos girder have been operated maintenance measuring system by the Seoul-Chonan of Kyongbu express railway. By analyzing the theoretical and experimental values of design load for these two bridge, the establishment of reference maintenance for measuring items was deduced from research. Two materials, steel and concrete plates, were considered as the upper structure. Actual measurement data for the behavior under speed, structural analysis results, and the presented references were analyzed and used to set up the reference establishment. The measuring items are stress(strain), displacement, dynamic acceleration, expansion movement, and dynamic frequency. The maintenance reference was established by comparing analytical and measuring values of the five items with respect to structural state class.

The sprayed FRP strengthening technique is combining the Glass fiber and Polyester resin in open air and spraying randomly at concrete's surface with high-speed compressed air. Then it strengthens the structures with a new technique evaluated the structural performance. We applied it to concrete beam and tested for flexural strength, depended on Korea Standard(KS F 2408). Then based on the result of flexural strength, the properties were proposed that applying to structures. Based on the experiment, we have evaluated structural performance by the experiment. 1/5 scale prestressed concrete I-beam were made by Korean Highway's typical drawing in 1993. With these test results, 49.8% increased in flexural strength, improvement of the behavior of serviceability state, and strengthening was surely effective for controlling deflection and crack of structure. Consequently, it can be summarized that Sprayed FRP technique has prospect to improve the performance of structure.

Steel corrosion in embedded steel causes a significant durability problems and this usually propagates to structural degradation. Large-scaled concrete structures, PSC (Pre-stressed Concrete) or RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures, are usually constructed with mass concrete and require quite a long construction period. When they are located near to sea shore, chloride ion penetrates into concrete through direct or indirect exposure to marine environment, and this leads durability problems. Even if the structures are sheltered from chloride ingress outside after construction, the chloride contents which have been penetrated into concrete during the long construction period are differently evaluated from the initially mixed chloride content. In the study, chloride profiles in cores extracted from anchorage concrete block in two large-scaled suspension bridge (K and P structure) are evaluated considering the exposure periods and conditions. Total 21 cores in tendon room and chamber room were obtained, and the acid-soluble chlorides and compressive strength were evaluated for the structures containing construction period around 3 years. The test results like diffusion coefficient and surface chloride content from the construction joint and cracked area were also discussed with the considerations for maintenance.

Recently, most of the international design code for concrete structures are trying to develope performance-based design specification with the limit state concept. To accomplish this object, it is necessary to define required performance and to measure the performance level of structure. The reliability index is one of the most attractive indexes to express the level of performance. In this paper, prestressed concrete beam is designed following member resistance factor and material resistance factor format and the reliability indexes are obtained and compared for different sets of resistance factors. Compatible sets of safety factors could be calibrated for given level of target reliability index applying the similar method presented in this paper.

This paper discusses the analysis method of prestressed concrete girder integral abutment bridges for a 75-year bridge life and the development of prediction models for abutment displacements under thermal loading due to annual temperature fluctuation and time-dependent loading. The developed nonlinear numerical modeling methodologies considered soil-structure interaction between supporting piles and surrounding soils and between abutment and backfills. Material nonlinearity was also considered to simulate differential rotation in construction joints between abutment and backwall. Based on the numerical modeling methodologies, a parametric study of 243 analysis cases, considering five parameters: (1) thermal expansion coefficient, (2) bridge length, (3) backfill height, (4) backfill stiffness, and (5) pile soil stiffness, was performed to established prediction models for abutment displacements over a bridge life. The parametric study results revealed that thermal expansion coefficient, bridge length, and pile-soil stiffness significantly influenced the abutment displacement. Bridge length parameter significantly influenced the abutment top displacement at the centroid of the superstructure, which is similar to the free expansion analysis results. Developed prediction model can be used for a preliminary design of integral abutment bridges.
