The objective of this research is to investigate the seismic performance and flexure-shear behavior of square reinforced concrete bridge piers with solid and hollow cross section. Test specimens were nonseismically designed with the aspect ratio 4.5 Two reinforced concrete columns were tested under constant axial load while subjected to lateral load reversals with increasing drift levels. Longitudinal steel ratio was 2.217 percent. The transverse reinforcement ratio As/($s{\cdot}h$), corresponding to 58 percent of the minimum lateral reinforcement required by Korean Bridge Design Specifications for seismic detailing, which represent existing columns not designed by the current seismic design specifications or designed by limited ductility concept. This study are to provide quantitative reference data for the limited ductility design concept and tendency for performance or damage assessment based on the performance levels such as cracking, yielding, collapse, etc. Failure behavior, ultimate displacement/drift ratio, displacement ductility, response modification factor, equivalent viscous damping ratio, residual deformation, effective stiffness, plastic hinge length, strain of reinforcements and nonlinear analysis are investigated and discussed in this paper.

This study, to develop the technology of the fire resistance design of CFT structure based on fire resistance performance design, was suppose to use as basic data for performance design through a measure of temperature and deformation of the CFT specimen as parameter is the concrete compressive strength and load ratio. In accordance with KS F 2257-1 and 7, 24 MPa and 40 MPa and the load ratio of 0.9, 0.6 and 0.2 were imposed on a square column and as a result of evaluating in accordance with the fire resistance criteria, in case of 24 MPa, the fire resistance performance was improved by 73 minutes when the load ratio was reduced by 0.3. And when it comes to 40 MPa, the fire resistance was 31 minutes and 180 minutes when a load ratio was 0.6 and 0.2, respectively. As a result of evaluating fire resistant performance depending on variation of internal concrete strength, it proved that the higher the strength the lower the fire resistance.

This study is intended is to analyze the blocking performance with variation of the gap of bar and kinds of metal lath for construction joint when placing concrete. According to the results, passing ratio of concrete increases with increase of vibrating time. In the case of W/C 50%, when blocking concrete with bar of D10 and D20 which the gap of bar is below 200mm, or metal lath, passing ratio of concrete is below 10%, so blocking performance is favorable. In the case of W/B 30%, while concrete does not flow out without vibration at slump 21mm, concrete flows out at some degree before vibration at slump flow 65mm and then, as 5 seconds passes after first vibration, final passing ratio shows about 85~90%. When blocking concrete by bar D10 of the gap 20mm, bar D20 of the gap 10mm and metal lath, it is thought that concrete can be blocked effectively because final passing ratio is below 10%.

This paper describes the effect of air assisted fuel injection system(AAI) using compressed air to improve the performance of lean combustion engine. AAI is designed to promote fuel atomization and intake flow. In order to investigate the performance of engine with AAl, experiments are conducted varying the engine revolution speed, lean air-fuel ratio and intake manifold pressure. Compared with the original engine, the performance of the engine with MI is improved as the air-fuel mixture becomes leaner or the engine load becomes lower. The descreasing rate of BSFC is propotional to the relative air-fuel ratio and the lean misfire limit extended more than 0.2 relative airfuel ratio.

The Purpose of this study is to prove empirically the relationship between ventures' technology valuation and performance, while considering the uniqueness of Korean firms. We use technology valuation index, marketability valuation index, business valuation index as ex-ante independent variables, use firm's performance(sales, asset, operating income ratio, net income ratio etc) as ex-post dependent variables. Parametric analysis such as Paired T-test, ANOVA are applied in this paper. The results of Empirical analysis is summarized as follows. Firstly, operating income ratio and net income ratio are different in portfolios classified by technology valuation index. Secondly, the growth rate of operating income is different in portfolios classified by technology valuation index. Finally, this study has shown that technology valuation index has possibility which it use the predictive variables of ventures' performances.

This study investigates two-phase cooling system of close-loop by using FC-72 and PCM(Phase change material). The cooling system consists of evaporator, cold plate, micro pump, and condenser. The heat input on the performance of evaporator is appreciated by visualizing the boiling on the evaporator. The heat performance of cooling system is investigated to determine the effects of volume fill ratio change at working fluid, pump flow rate change, and volume fill ratio change at PCM in cold plate. Experimental results show the ideal condition when the volume ratio of working fluid, the pump flowing, and the volume ratio of PCM are 60%, 6ml/min, and 60% respectively.

Numerical simulation is carried out for flow characteristics in a plenum fan and the influence of the diameter ratio of the rotating vaneless diffuser on the performance of plenum fan is analyzed. The diameter ratio of the rotating vaneless diffuser employed is from 1.03 to 1.3. The research results show that the rotating vaneless diffuser is able to enhance the performance of plenum fan. It is found that there is significant improvement in static pressure and efficiency at the diameter ratio of 1.05 at high flow coefficients, while the optimal diameter ratio is 1.2 at rated and low flow coefficient.

This paper presents the performance and characteristics of small spark-ignited small 2-stroke engine. A single cylinder, two-stroke, air cooled 23cc SI engine for brush-cutter was used in this study. For the performance of the engine, rpm, torque, fuel consumption and lubricate oil consumption were measured, and also HC, CO, NOx emissions and excess air ratio according to throat open ratio under two lubrication method were measured and analyzed. The results showed that maximum of engine rpm is nearly same in both methods and also, torque, power is similar. exhaust emissions tend to decrease with throat open ratio.

This study is performed to understand the effect of the variation in the passage area of a two-dimensional impeller on its performance characteristics. We observe the results with changing the area ratio of inlet to outlet about $1{\sim}2.8$. A comparison between the experimental and numerical results was performed for the same configuration in order to verify the reliability of the CFD code. Overall characteristics in the passages of impeller were analyzed in detail including streamline, Mach number, pressure and polytropic efficiency distribution. When the passage area ratio exceeds 2, the pressure ratio is high. An area ratio of 2.3 showed the highest efficiency. The results will be used as useful reference data to establish the design concept of two-dimensional impeller and to improve its performance.
