This paper experimentally investigated the behavior of steel frame structures of traditional-style buildings subjected to combined constant axial load and reversed lateral cyclic loading conditions. The low cyclic reversed loading test was carried out on a 1/2 model of a traditional-style steel frame. The failure process and failure mode of the structure were observed. The mechanical behaviors of the steel frame, including hysteretic behaviors, order of plastic hinges, load-displacement curve, characteristic loads and corresponding displacements, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, and stiffness degradation were analyzed. Test results showed that the Dou-Gong component (a special construct in traditional-style buildings) in steel frame structures acted as the first seismic line under the action of horizontal loads, the plastic hinges at the beam end developed sufficiently and satisfied the Chinese Seismic Design Principle of "strong columns-weak beams, strong joints-weak members". The pinching phenomenon of hysteretic loops occurred and it changed into Z-shape, indicating shear-slip property. The stiffness degradation of the structure was significant at the early stage of the loading. When failure, the ultimate elastic-plastic interlayer displacement angle was 1/20, which indicated high collapse resistance capacity of the steel frame. Furthermore, the finite element analysis was conducted to simulate the behavior of traditional-style frame structure. Test results agreed well with the results of the finite element analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to develop and prove the effectiveness of structured arm exercise, which was used to reduce Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) and Arteriovenous graft (AVG) stricture of hemodialysis patients. Methods: Quasi-experimental research design with non-equivalent control group was applied. 26 Subjects were participated in this study. 12 of hemodialysis patients who do not have a normal range of Static Intra Access Pressure Vein (SIAPV) score in the last three months were assigned to the experimental group and 14 patients who have a normal range of SIAPV score in the last three months to the control group. To analyze the collecting data after structured arm exercise, non parametric method with the repeated measures ANOVA by the Friedman test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test for post-hoc test was performed. Results: Unlike the experimental group after three months, the control group's SIAPV data went over the normal range. The experimental AVF group showed a difference in data after month 2 and month 3. - In AVG group, there were clear differences in each month of the test. Conclusion: This study proved that structured arm exercise therapy could be a simple and effective intervention. It is suggested to be actively utilized for hemodialysis patients.

이 논문은 근단층지반운동(NFGM)하에서 내진성능을 평가하기 위한 RC교각의 진동대, 준정적, 유사동적 실험을 다룬다. 5개의 실험체가 수행되었다. 축소 모형을 제작하고 상부구조물의 중량 에 의한 축력의 효과는 프리스트레스에 의해 구현하였다. 지진이 발생할 때 상부 구조물의 횡방향 관성력은 진동대의 제한된 용량 때문에 교각 실험체에 연결한 질량 프레임으로 모사하였다. 특히, 진동대 실험에서 질량 모사 프레임이 교각 모델과 같은 변위로 움직이면서 마찰 효과를 최소화할 수 있도록 고려하였고 이에 대한 검증을 실시하였다. RC교각의 축소 계수를 4.25로 설정 하였다.

Snap rolling during hard turning and instability during emergency rising are important features of submarine operation. Hydrodynamics modeling using a high incidence flow angle is required to predict these phenomena. In the present study, a quasi-steady dynamics model of a submarine suitable for high-incidence-angle maneuvering applications is developed. To determine the hydrodynamic coefficients of the model, static tests, dynamic tests, and control surface tests were conducted in a towing tank and wind tunnel. The towing tank test is conducted utilizing a Reynolds number of $3.12{\times}10^6$, and the wind tunnel test is performed utilizing a Reynolds number of $5.11{\times}10^6$. In addition, least squares, golden section search, and surface fitting using polynomial models were used to analyze the experimental results. The obtained coefficients are presented in tabular form and can be used for various purposes such as hard turning simulation, emergency rising simulation, and controller design.

In the core of the nuclear power plant of PWR, several cases of fuel failure by unknown causes have been experienced for various fuel types. From the common features of the failure pattern, failure lead time, flow conditions, and flow induced vibration characteristics in nuclear fuel bundles, it is deduced that the fretting wear failure of the fuel rod at the spacer grid position is due to the fluidelastic vibration. In the past, fluidelastic vibration was simulated by quasi -static semi-analytical model, so called the static model, which could not account for the interaction between the rods within a bundle. To overcome this defect and to provide for more flexibilities applicable to the fuel bundle, Tanaka's unsteady model was modified to accomodate the geometrical differences and governing parameter changes during the operations such as the number of rods, pitch to diameter ratio (P/D), spring force, damping coefficient, etc. The critical velocity was calculated by solving the governing equations with the MATLAB code. A comparison between the estimated critical velocity and the test result shows a good agreement. Finally, the level of decrease of the critical velocity due to the reduction in the spring force and reduced damping coefficient due to the radiation exposure is also estimated.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the moment resistance of glulam post-to-base connections by applying quasi-static cyclic loads. The connectors consisted of inserted plates and drifted pins according to the load direction. The connection types employed in this study were total three including two unidirectional types (H, V) and the multi-directional type (M). The moment resistance of 8 mm-plate M-type is compared to 6 mm plate. Total four types of Post-to-base connection are prepared and tested under pseudo-static reversed cyclic loading. Test results showed that the yield moment of multi-directional connection is about 2 times higher than that uni-directional connections. The ductility ratio of multi-directional connection determined by EEEP was higher that that of uni-directional connection. It was becoming higher as the thickness of plate is increased. The Finite Element Analysis was conducted to estimate the stress distribution behavior of tested connections. Results showed the failure of multi-directional type were caused by the split of pined hole and the shear failure of lifted part of post.

In this article the seismic demand and performance of two recent braced steel frames named steel moment frames with the elliptic bracing (ELBRFs) are assessed through a laboratory program and numerical analyses of FEM. Here, one of the specimens is without connecting bracket from the corner of the frame to the elliptic brace (ELBRF-E), while the other is with the connecting brackets (ELBRF-B). In both the elliptic braced moment resisting frames (ELBRFs), in addition to not having any opening space problem in the bracing systems when installed in the surrounding frames, they improve structure's behavior. The experimental test is run on ½ scale single-story single-bay ELBRF specimens under cyclic quasi-static loading and compared with X-bracing and SMRF systems in one story base model. This system is of appropriate stiffness and a high ductility, with an increased response modification factor. Moreover, its energy dissipation is high. In the ELBRF bracing systems, there exists a great interval between relative deformation at the yield point and maximum relative deformation after entering the plastic region. In other words, the distance from the first plastic hinge to the collapse of the structure is fairly large. The experimental outcomes here, are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

철근콘크리트 교각의 시공시 소성힌지구간에서 주철근 겹침이음은 내진성능면에서 바람직하지 않으나 불가피하게 시공되는 경우가 있었다. 특히, 1992년 도로교표준시방서의 내진설계 기준이 마련되기 이전에 설계 시공된 대부분의 철근콘크리트 교각은 소성힌지구간에 주철근을 겹침이음 하였으며, 이들은 휨에 대한 소성영역에서의 거동에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 직경 1.2m, 형상비 4.0의 휨파괴가 예상되는 비내진 및 한정연성시험체를 8기 제작하여 준정적(Quasi-Static)실험을 통한 철근콘크리트(RC) 교각의 소성힌지구간내의 주철근 겹침이음과 횡방향구속력이 내진성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험체의 변수로서는 $0\%,\;50\%,\;100\%$의 주철근 겹침이음, 2종류의 횡구속철근비 및 띠철근 형상을 선택하였다. 연구결과 주철근 겹침이음 정도에 따라 철근콘크리트 교각의 내진성능은 급격히 저하되었으며, 겹침이음이 없는 한정연성설계된 시험체의 경우 높은 내진성능을 발휘하였다. 연구결과에 따라 중저진지역에서 겹침이음된 주철근 교각의 내진성능을 위한 적절한 횡방향철근량을 제안하였다.

건설여건의 변화에 따라 교량구조물의 급속시공에 대한 요구가 늘어나고 있다. 이 논문에서는 하부구조에서 교각의 프리캐스트화를 위한 준정적 실험을 수행하였다. 프리캐스트 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교각 설계의 가장 주요한 항목이 내진성능의 확보에 있다. 7개의 프리캐스트 교각을 제작하였고 주요 실험변수는 긴장재의 양, 프리스트레스트의 크기, 이음부의 위치 및 수로 설정하였다. 실험결과 축방향으로 도입되는 프리스트레스에 의해 작은 횡변위하에서는 일부 손상이 발생하여도 변형의 복원력을 발휘하였지만 소성힌 지구간의 손상이 많은 경우에는 이러한 복원력이 효과를 발휘하지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 실험을 통해 관찰된 손상의 형태로부터 판단할 때 조립식 교각의 이음부 설계는 기초부와 교각부 사이의 이음부에 대해서 실시되어야한다. 축방향 긴장재의 양은 RC 교각과 강재비를 일치시키는 것은 지나친 설계가 될 수 있고 주어진 하중조건에 대한 P-M 상관도를 만족시키는 수준에서 결정되어야 한다. 변위연성도 평가를 볼 때 프리캐스트 교각에서 횡철근비는 현재의 철근 콘크리트 교각과 동일한 수준에서 확보되어야 요구연성도를 만족할 수 있다. 에너지 소산능력은 강재비가 증가함에 따라 향상되었고 이음부의 수가 많은 경우가 다소 뛰어난 능력을 발휘하였다.
