Higher-order theories are very important to investigate the mechanical properties and behaviors of nanoscale structures. In this study, a free vibration behavior of SiNW resting on elastic foundation is investigated via Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. Silicon Nanowire (SiNW) is modeled as simply supported both ends and clamped-free Euler-Bernoulli beam. Pasternak two-parameter elastic foundation model is used as foundation. Finite element formulation is obtained nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. First, shape function of the Euler-Bernoulli beam is gained and then Galerkin weighted residual method is applied to the governing equations to obtain the stiffness and mass matrices including the foundation parameters and small scale parameter. Frequency values of SiNW is examined according to foundation and small scale parameters and the results are given by tables and graphs. The effects of small scale parameter, boundary conditions, foundation parameters on frequencies are investigated.

In this paper, an analytical formulation is proposed to predict the vertical vibration response due to the pedestrian walking on a footbridge considering the human-structure interaction, where the footbridge and pedestrian are represented by the Euler beam and linear oscillator model, respectively. The derived coupled equation of motion is a nonlinear fourth-order partial differential equation. An uncoupled solution strategy based on the combined weighted residual and perturbation method) is proposed to reduce the tedious computation, which allows the separate integration between the bridge and pedestrian subsystems. The theoretical study demonstrates that the pedestrian subsystem can be treated as a structural system with added mass, damping, and stiffness. The analysis procedure is then applied to a case study under the conditions of single pedestrian and multi pedestrians, and the results are validated and compared numerically. For convenient vibration design of a footbridge, the simplified peak acceleration formula and the idea of decoupling problem are thus proposed.

아스팔트 혼합물의 균열 저항성은 일반적으로 인장 강도, 스티프니스와 같은 단일 물성치를 측정함으로써 평가된다. 그러나, 아스팔트 혼합물의 균열 성능을 평가함에 있어서 단일 물성치의 이용은 의문시되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 아스팔트 혼합물의 균열 저항성과 관련이 있는 주요 특성치를 좀 더 심도 있게 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 다양한 하중 조건 하에서 파괴 시험 크리프 시험, 강도 시험이 일반 아스팔트 혼합물과 개질 아스팔트 혼합물에 대해서 수행되었다. 시험 결과, 혼합물의 균열 저항성은 주로 미세 손상 축적 속도에 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었으며, 이 값은 파괴 에너지 한계에 영향을 주지 않으면서 m값에 반영됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 짧은 하중 재하 시간 (탄성거동) 동안 얻어지는 스티프니스는 혼합물의 균열 저항성의 차이를 규명하는데 한계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 아스팔트 혼합물의 균열 저항성을 보다 명확히 평가하기 위해서는 혼합물의 크리프 거동과 파괴 한계점을 동시에 고려하는 것이 필수적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 수퍼페이브 간접 인장 강도 시험으로부터 구한 잔여 소멸 에너지는 비교적 손쉬운 실험을 통해 아스팔트 혼합물의 균열 저항성의 상대적인 차이를 보여줄 수 있는 유용한 물성치임을 알 수 있었으며, 장기 크리프 시험에서 얻어지는 파괴 변형률은 아스팔트 혼합물의 크리프 거동과 파괴 한계점을 동시에 고려함으로써 균열 저항성을 평가할 수 있는 유용한 물성치 임을 알 수 있었다.

도상구조의 자갈(연성)에서 콘크리트(강성)로의 변화는 이를 지지하는 철도 노반구조에서도 보다 엄격한 변형 규제에 적합한 신형식 철도보강노반 구조를 요구하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 공용 후 잔류침하를 최소화할 수 있으면서도 대용량 반복하중이 작용하는 철도노반 영구구조물로서의 기능을 유지할 수 있는 강성벽 일체형 철도보강노반의 설계 특성을 평가하기 위한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 개발한 설계프로그램을 이용하여 단보강재와 장보강재의 간격, 보강재 강성 등 설계 입력변수 변화에 따른 원호활동, 전도 및 활동파괴에 대한 안전율 및 발생 부재력을 평가하였다. 이를 통하여 철도보강노반에서는 높이의 40%(0.4H)의 짧은 보강재를 연직간격 0.4m로 적용할 수 있으며 보강노반 적용을 위한 원지반 조건 등을 평가할 수 있었다. 또한, 철도보강노반을 구성하는 벽체와 보강재 연결구조의 중요성, 벽체 경계조건에서의 변위 허용구조 적용을 통한 하중 재하 시 발생 최대휨모멘트를 저감시키는 설계상의 특징을 파악할 수 있었다.

Serviceability and durability of the concrete members can be seriously affected by the corrosion of steel rebar. Carbonation front and or chloride ingress can destroy the passive film on rebar and may set the corrosion (oxidation process). Depending on the level of oxidation (expansive corrosion products/rust) damage to the cover concrete takes place in the form of expansion, cracking and spalling or delamination. This makes the concrete unable to develop forces through bond and also become unprotected against further degradation from corrosion; and thus marks the end of service life for corrosion-affected structures. This paper presents an analytical model that predicts the weight loss of steel rebar and the corresponding time from onset of corrosion for the known corrosion rate and thus can be used for the determination of time to cover cracking in corrosion affected RC member. This model uses fully the thick-walled cylinder approach. The gradual crack propagation in radial directions (from inside) is considered when the circumferential tensile stresses at the inner surface of intact concrete have reached the tensile strength of concrete. The analysis is done separately with and without considering the stiffness of reinforcing steel and rust combine along with the assumption of zero residual strength of cracked concrete. The model accounts for the time required for corrosion products to fill a porous zone before they start inducing expansive pressure on the concrete surrounding the steel rebar. The capability of the model to produce the experimental trends is demonstrated by comparing the model's predictions with the results of experimental data published in the literature. The effect of considering the corroded reinforcing steel bar stiffness is demonstrated. A sensitivity analysis has also been carried out to show the influence of the various parameters. It has been found that material properties and their inter-relations significantly influence weight loss of rebar. Time to cover cracking from onset of corrosion for the same weight loss is influenced by corrosion rate and state of oxidation of corrosion product formed. Time to cover cracking from onset of corrosion is useful in making certain decisions pertaining to inspection, repair, rehabilitation, replacement and demolition of RC member/structure in corrosive environment.

Building on/with expansive soils with no treatment brings complications. Compacted expansive soils specifically fall short in satisfying the minimum requirements for transport embankment infrastructures, requiring the adoption of hauled virgin mineral aggregates or a sustainable alternative. Use of hauled aggregates comes at a high carbon and economical cost. On average, every 9m high embankment built with quarried/hauled soils cost $12600MJ.m^{-2}$ Embodied Energy (EE). A prospect of using mixed cutting-arising expansive soils with industrial/domestic wastes can reduce the carbon cost and ease the pressure on landfills. The widespread use of recycled materials has been extensively limited due to concerns over their long-term performance, generally low shear strength and stiffness. In this contribution, hydromechanical properties of a waste tyre sand-sized rubber (a mixture of polybutadiene, polyisoprene, elastomers, and styrene-butadiene) and expansive silt is studied, allowing the short- and long-term behaviour of optimum compacted composites to be better established. The inclusion of tyre shred substantially decreased the swelling potential/pressure and modestly lowered the compression index. Silt-Tyre powder replacement lowered the bulk density, allowing construction of lighter reinforced earth structures. The shear strength and stiffness decreased on addition of tyre powder, yet the contribution of matric suction to the shear strength remained constant for tyre shred contents up to 20%. Reinforced soils adopted a ductile post-peak plastic behaviour with enhanced failure strain, offering the opportunity to build more flexible subgrades as recommended for expansive soils. Residual water content and tyre shred content are directly correlated; tyre-reinforced silt showed a greater capacity of water storage (than natural silts) and hence a sustainable solution to waterlogging and surficial flooding particularly in urban settings. Crushed fine tyre shred mixed with expansive silts/sands at 15 to 20 wt% appear to offer the maximum reduction in swelling-shrinking properties at minimum cracking, strength loss and enhanced compressibility expenses.

Timber is one of the few natural, renewable building materials and glulam is a type of engineering wood product. In the present work, timber-based braces are applied for retrofitting midrise Special Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF) using two types of timber base braces (Timber base glulam, and hybrid Timber-Steel-BRB) as alternatives for retrofitting by traditional steel bracings. The improving effects of adding the bracings to the SMRF on seismic characteristics of the frame are evaluated using load-bearing capacity, energy dissipation, and story drifts of the frame. For evaluating the retrofitting effects on the seismic performance of SMRF, a five-story SMRF is considered unretofitted and retrofitted with steel-hollow structural section (HSS) brace, Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam) brace, and hybrid Timber-Steel BRB. Using OpenSees structural analyzer, the performance are investigated under pushover, cyclic, and incremental loading. Results showed that steel-HSS, timber base Glulam, and hybrid timber-steel BRB braces have more significant roles in energy dissipation, increasing stiffness, changing capacity curves, reducing inter-story drifts, and reducing the weight of the frames, compared by steel bracing. Results showed that Hybrid BRB counteract the negative post-yield stiffness, so their use is more beneficial on buildings where P-Delta effects are more critical. It is found that the repair costs of the buildings with hybrid BRB will be less due to lower residual drifts. As a result, timber steel-BRB has the best energy dissipation and seismic performance due to symmetrical and stable hysteresis curves of buckling restrained braces that can experience the same capacities in tension and compression.

본 연구에서는 산업폐기물인 저회와 폐어망을 각각 뒤채움 재료와 보강재로 재활용하기 위하여 저회와 폐어망 사이의 인발특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 저회로 구성된 지반에 망목크기가 다른 3종류의 폐어망(WFN20 : $20mm{\times}20mm$, WFN30 : $30mm{\times}30mm$, WFN40 : $40mm{\times}40mm$)과 지오그리드를 보강재로 사용하여 인발시험을 수행하였다. 인발시험 수행 결과, 지오그리드와 동일한 망목크기를 갖는 WFN20의 인발마찰각은 지오그리드와 유사하게 나타났다. 이것은 WFN20의 인장강도와 강성은 지오그리드 보다 작으나, WFN20의 두께가 지오그리드 보다 커서 횡리브에 의한 지지력이 발현되었기 때문이다. 보강재의 잔류변형률 분포는 연직응력에 의존한다. 연직응력이 증가함에 따라 보강재 선단에 인발력이 크게 집중되어 변형이 크게 나타난다.

Recently gantry-type robot with 3 axes rectangular coordinates have been studied in the many industrial production equipment and machinery fields. To acquire a good handling and motion performance of this robot, reducing the settling-time and securing the accurate-transfer positioning under high-speed conditions should be required. However when robot is moved in high-speed, the large inertia of robot can lead to serious vibration of robot's head. The time-delayed control characteristics of this robot can also lead to tracking error. In this research, the analysis of the effects of higher order positional-profile is carried out to assure high-speed performance and stiffness specifications. To remove the residual vibration caused by kinematic coupling effect of dual-servo gantry, we develop a dual-servo gantry of rotary type that moving frame of x-axis rotates about z-axis. In order to decrease the tracking error, the 3 type lead-filter through system identification was applied respectively. From the experimental results, it was shown that zero-order series leader-filter has the best performance about tracking error and settling time.

화강암 시료에서 절리면 시편의 크기효과를 연구하기 위해 6가지 크기의 인공절리 시편을 제작하여 직접전단시험을 수행하였다. 각기 다른 수직응력 0.29~2.65MPa과 절리면의 거칠기 파라미터에 대하여 최대전단응력, 잔류전단응력, 전단강성 및 팽창각이 이 연구를 위해 평가되었다. 거칠기 파라미터중 절리거�s계수(JRC)와 절리면의 압축강도(JCS)는 시편의 크기가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 시편의 절리면적이 $12.25cm^2$에서 $361cm^2$으로 증가할 경우 최대전단응력은 약 56~67%, 잔류전단응력은 18~44%까지 감소하였다. 또한 팽창각은 수직응력이 0.29 MPa일 때 $27^{\circ}$, 2.65 MPa일 때 $6^{\circ}$의 변화를 보였다. JRC 크기효과를 고려한 전단강도 관계식이 Barton의 경험식과 비교되었다.
