최근 철근콘크리트 건축물의 초고층화 추세에 따라 건축물의 설계시에 고강도의 건설재료, 부재단면의 축소, 직경이 큰 철근의 사용이 요구되고 있다. 이에 따라 구조물의 다른 부위에 비하여 접합부 영역의 응력 집중현상이 커지고, 철근콘크리트 구조물에 고강도 콘크리트를 적용하므로써 고정하중의 감소, 부재단면의 축소, 부재내력의 증대, 장 스팬 구조물의 축소 가능, 경제성의 향상을 가져올 수 있는 장점으로 인하여, 철근콘크리트 구조물에 고강도 콘크리트의 이용은 더욱 증대할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 고강도콘크리트는 보통 콘크리트와 다른 특성, 특히 최대내력이후의 강도저하가 현저하고 파괴성상이 취성적인 성질을 지니고 있으므로 실제 구조물에 적용하기 앞서 구조물의 안전성 측면에서 부재 실험을 통하여 정확한 역학적 특성을 규명할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 반복 주기하중을 받는 고강도 철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부의 거동을 파악하고, 접합부의 내진성능 개선을 위한 새로운 설계방법을 실제 초고층 철근콘크리트 건축물의 설계를 위한 기초 자료로 제시하였다.

This research presents a structural design of high-level waste (HLW) container using ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHP-FRC) material. The proposed design aims to overcome the drawbacks of the existing concrete containers which are heavy, difficult to fabricate, and expensive. In this study, the dry storage container (DSC) that commonly used at Canadian Nuclear facilities is selected to present the proposed design. The design has been performed such that the new UHP-FRC alternative has a structural stiffness equivalent to the existing steel-concrete-steel container under various loading scenarios. Size optimization technique is used with the aim of maximizing stiffness, and minimizing the cost while satisfying both the design stresses and construction requirements. Then, the integrity of the new design has been evaluated against accidental drop-impact events based on realistic drop scenarios. The optimization results showed: the stiffness of the UHP-FRC container (300 mm wall thick) is being in the range of 1.35-1.75 times the stiffness of existing DSC (550 mm wall thick). The use of UHP-FRC leads to decrease the container weight by more than 60%. The UHP-FRC container showed a significant enhancement in performance in comparison to the existing DSC design under considered accidental drop impact scenarios.

Nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) lithium-ion batteries(LIBs) are increasingly prominent in the energy storage system due to their high energy density and cost-effectiveness. However, they face significant challenges, such as rapid capacity fading and structural instability during high-voltage operation cycles. Addressing these issues, numerous researchers have studied the enhancement of electrochemical performance through the coating of NCM cathode materials with substances like metal oxides, lithium composites, and polymers. Coating these cathode materials serves several critical functions: it acts as a protection barrier against electrolyte decomposition, mitigates the dissolution of transition metals, enhances the structural integrity of the electrode, and can even improve the ionic conductivity of the cathode. Ultimately, these improvements lead to better cycle stability, increased efficiency, and enhanced overall battery life, which are crucial for the advancement of NCM-based lithium-ion batteries in high-demand applications. So, this paper will review various cathode coating materials and examine the roles each plays in improving battery performance.

The performance enhancement of various damping systems from natural hazards has become an highly important issue in engineering field. In this paper, ENTA hysteretic dampers were tested under cyclic loadings to evaluate their performance in terms of ductility and energy dissipation. The test results showed that the hysteretic dampers are effective damping systems to enhance the buildings performance for remodeling and retrofit of buildings. Also, the hysteretic dampers were modeled in FEM(Finite Element Method) structural analysis program. As comparing the computer modeling and the experiment, this study model reflects the nonlinear behavior of steel and derives the hysteresis loop.

노후 공동주택의 수가 급격하게 증가하면서 주거 환경적인 문제 구조성능의 저하, 설비의 노후화에 따른 성능저하 등으로 인하여 노후 공동주택에 다양한 형태의 결함 및 문제점이 발생되고 있으며, 향후 이 같은 문제는 더욱 범위가 넓고 다양하게 발생될 것이다. 이러한 노후 공동주택을 개선하기 위한 방법으로 현재 사업추진의 용이성 때문에 재건축이 가장 많이 활용되고 있으나 천연골재의 부족, 폐기물 발생으로 인한 자연환경 파괴, 국가적 자원의 낭비, 재건축 단지 인근 지역의 전세대란 초래 등으로 인하여 향후 급격하게 증가하는 노후 공동주택을 대상으로 산업적, 정책적인 측면에서 더 이상 재건축을 적극적으로 추진하기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 노후 공동주택 성능 개선을 위한 방안으로 무분별한 재건축 추진을 억제하고 리모델링을 활성화 하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 수요자의 요구사항을 바탕으로 한 요구 성능을 파악하고, 이를 근간으로 요소기술을 도출하였으며, 도출된 요소기술을 설계, 구조, 설비, 시공의 각 분야별로 묶어 연구를 진행함으로써 리모델링 활성화에 기여하고자 한다.

Since the steel fiber used in concrete to improve shear and ductility capacity, a number of laboratory tests have been studied to define shear strengthening effect according steel fiber contents in concrete. This study investigates shear strengthening effect of steel fiber in RC columns according to compression strength of concrete. From the structural performance test, following conclusions can be made; the maximum enhancement of shear strengthening effect can be achieved at about 1.0 %~l.5 % of steel fiber contents in comparison with shear capacity ratio, and ductility capacity slightly improved as steel fiber contents increased.

우리 주변의 구조물들은 시간이 지남에 따라 환경적, 화학적 요인에 의해 열화 현상이 발생하며 구조물의 성능저하 현상이 나타난다. 콘크리트 구조물의 가장 큰 열화 현상 원인으로 탄산화, 염해, 동결융해 현상이 있다. 이러한 열화현상에 대하여 다양한 보수공법이 있다. 그러나 기존의 보수 공법에 대한 연구 및 기술개발은 꾸준히 진행되어 왔으나 보수재료와 기술의 정확성 및 실효성 검증은 크게 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 제조사의 보수재료에 관하여 재료 성능 평가를 수행하였고, 이를 바탕으로 균열과 가장 밀접한 공법에 사용되는 함침제와 에폭시를 적용 하여 탄산화, 염해, 동결융해에 대하여 내구성능 평가를 수행한다. 이 결과 탄산화와 염해는 대략 2배의 성능 개선과 동결융해의 경우 5 %의 보수 성능 향상을 나타낸다. 이처럼 추구 구조물 보수 시 환경적, 화학적 요인에 따라 적절한 보수를 실시한다면 철근 부식을 방지하는데 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

Reducing the noise and vibration of the BLDC motors is very essential for some special applications. In this paper, a new structural design is introduced to increase the natural frequencies of the stator in BLDC motors as increasing the natural frequencies can reduce the severe effects of the structural resonances, including high levels of noise and vibration. The design is based on placing a single hole on definite regions at the stator cross sectional area (each region contains one tooth and its upper parts in the stator yoke) in an optimum way by which the natural frequencies at different modes are shifted to the higher values. The optimum diameter and locations for the holes are extracted by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the modal analyses in the iterative process are done by Finite Element Method (FEM). Moreover, the motor performance by the optimum stator structure is analyzed by FEM and compared with the prototype motor. Preventing the stator magnetic saturation and the motor cogging torque enhancement are the two constraints of the optimization problem. The optimal structural design method is applied experimentally and the validity of the design method is confirmed by the simulated and experimental results.

This paper proposed a novel form of reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall confined with boundary columns. The structural effect of applying steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) in the wall-column systems was studied. Three full-scale wall samples were constructed including two RC wall-RC column samples with different stirrup ratios and one RC wall-SFRC column sample. Low frequency cyclic testing was carried out to investigate the failure modes, hysteretic behavior, load-bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation. ABAQUS models were set up to simulate the structural behavior of tested samples, and good agreement was achieved between numerical simulation and experimental results. A further supplementary parametric study was conducted based on ABAQUS models. Both experimental and numerical results showed that increasing stirrup ratio in boundary columns did not affect much on load bearing capacity or stiffness degradation of the system. However, applying SFRC in boundary columns showed significant enhancement on load bearing capacity. Numerical simulation also shows that the structural performances of RC wall-SFRC column system were comparable to a wall-column system fully with SFRC.

The main objective of this study is to analytically investigate the effectiveness of different strengthening solutions in upgrading the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Nepal. For this, four building models with different structural configurations and detailing were considered. Three possible rehabilitation solutions were studied, namely: (a) RC shear wall, (b) steel bracing, and (c) RC jacketing for all of the studied buildings. A numerical analysis was conducted with adaptive pushover and dynamic time history analysis. Seismic performance enhancement of the studied buildings was evaluated in terms of demand capacity ratio of the RC elements, capacity curve, inter-storey drift, energy dissipation capacity and moment curvature demand of the structures. Finally, the seismic safety assessment was performed based on standard drift limits, showing that retrofitting solutions significantly improved the seismic performance of existing buildings in Nepal.
