Current Seismic Design Procedure has been developed and improved mostly based on the experiences of the past earthquakes. Many engineers and researchers believe that the seismic codes and provisions are adequate for the basic objective of the code which is "life-safe". However they doubt the performance of the structure during the earthquake. The seismic code seems the black box for the designers which means it is not transparent since the designer can not predict the level of the damage of the structure under future earthquakes. This purpose of this study is to check the validity of the current seismic design procedures. Two structures with different heights are designed and their seismic performances are evaluated for this purpose. Both structures are assumed to be located at the same strong seismic zone.

Large plastic Li-ion (PLI) cells (25 to 28-Ah) were fabricated for an EV application. The 28-Ah cells showed high specific energy (160 Wh/kg), high specific power (526 W/g), excellent round-trip energy efficiency $(92\%)$, and low self-discharge rate ($6\%$ in 30 days). A 25-Ah cell of an earlier design showed good cycle life of up to 750 cycles at $100\%$ DOD to $80\%$ of its initial capacity, while cycle life test of a 28-Ah cell of a later design is in progress. Preliminary safety tests were also carried out using 6-Ah cells of a similar electrode design giving very encouraging results for development of a safe hish-energy density PLI battery for EV application.

In tread brake of freight cars, brake force is produced by the friction between the wheel and the brake shoe. Friction coefficients associated with the brake power, weight variation and brake shoe types should be sensitively treated as the design parameters. The conditions of the car, empty and loaded, should also be taken into consideration in brake force design and the control of brake force has some limitations in terms of the brake system design so that the brake friction materials selection should be considered as important measures to solve that difficulties. Friction characteristics of brake friction materials should remain within the range of maximum and minimum value and the friction performance should remain stable regardless of brake time and temperature. This study presented an experimental evaluation method to secure optimum brake performance by keeping safe brake effect and brake distance by the friction coefficient of the brake shoe of the freight cars.

운전 중 휴대전화의 사용은 교통사고 유발의 주요한 원인이며 운전자들은 운전 중 안전한 휴대전화 이용을 위해 핸즈프리, 블루투스 등의 다양한 방법을 이용해왔다. 하지만 이 방법들은 직접적인 접촉을 한번 이상 요구하기 때문에 이 과정에서 운전자의 주의 집중이 흐트러질 소지가 있다. 본 연구에서는 운전 중 안전한 스마트폰 사용을 위하여 전자기기에서 광범위하게 적용이 증가하고 있는 모션인식에 기반한 모션 디자인을 제안한다. 먼저 대상 모션을 선정하기 위하여 운전 중 발생할 가능성이 많은 모션을 정의하여 설문 조사를 시행하고, 설문 결과를 바탕으로 5 가지의 모션을 선정하였다. 다음으로, 선정된 모션에 대하여 모션과 그 모션의 동작 수행이 연관성을 가지도록 디자인하고, 이를 위한 기술적 고려 사항을 제시하였으며, 마지막으로 이들 모션에 대하여 사용자의 편의성과 기억의 용이성을 실험적으로 검증하였다. 실험 결과, 제시한 모션 디자인은 기억의 용이성 부분에서 적절한 결과를 보였으며 모션과 행위의 연계성과 편의성에 대하여도 긍정적인 평가를 이끌어냈다. 이러한 결과는 향후 구현되는 모션 디자인의 방향을 제시할 수 있으리라 기대된다.

To prevent major cracking and failure during earthquakes, it is important to design reinforced concrete liquid storage structures, such as water and fuel storage tanks, properly for the hydrodynamic pressure loads caused by seismic excitations. There is a discussion in recent Codes that most of the base shear applied to liquid containment structures is resisted by inplane membrane shear rather than by transverse flexural shear. The purpose of this paper is to underline the importance of the membrane force system in carrying the base shear produced by hydrodynamic pressures in both rectangular and cylindrical tank structures. Only rigid tanks constrained at the base are considered. Analysis is performed for both tall and broad tanks to compare their behavior under seismic excitation. Efforts are made to quantify the percentage of base shear carried by membrane action and the consequent procedures that must be followed for safe design of liquid containing storage structures.

The vertical axis through the modal center of rigidity (m-CR) is used for interpreting the code torsional provisions in the design of eccentric multi-story building structures. The concept of m-CR has been demonstrated by the author in an earlier paper and the particular feature of this point is that when the vertical line of the centers of mass at the floor levels is passing through m-CR, minimum base torsion is developed. For this reason the aforesaid axis is used as reference axis for implementing the code provisions required by the equivalent static analysis. The study examines uniform mixed-bent-type multistory buildings with simple eccentricity, ranging from torsionally stiff to torsionally flexible systems. Using the results of a dynamic response spectrum analysis as a basis for comparisons, it is shown that the results of the code static design are on the safe side in torsionally stiff buildings, but unable to predict the required strength of bents on the stiff side of systems with a predominantly torsional response. Suggestions are made for improving the code provisions in such cases.

Design codes have specified the minimum shear reinforcement requirement for reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed concrete (PSC) members to prevent brittle and premature shear failure. They are, however, very different from one another, and particularly, ACI318 code allows the required minimum shear reinforcement to be reduced in PSC members, compared to that in RC members, by specifying the additional equation for PSC members whose basis is not clear. In this paper, the minimum shear reinforcement ratio for PSC members was proposed, which can provide a sufficient reserved shear strength and deformation capacity. The proposed equation was also verified by the test results of PSC specimens lightly reinforced in shear, comparing to design codes and other proposed equations from previous studies.

New 80-MW (electric) ultra-long-life sodium cooled fast reactor core having inherent safety characteristics is designed with heterogeneous fuel assemblies comprised of driver and blanket fuel rods. Several options using upper sodium plenum and SSFZ (Special Sodium Flowing Zone) for reducing sodium void reactivity are neutronically analyzed in this core concept in order to improve the inherent safety of the core. The SSFZ allowing the coolant flow from the peripheral fuel assemblies increases the neutron leakage under coolant expansion or voiding. The Monte Carlo calculations were used to design the cores and analyze their physics characteristics with heterogeneous models. The results of the design and analyses show that the final core design option has a small burnup reactivity swing of 618 pcm over ~54 EFPYs cycle length and a very small sodium void worth of ~35pcm at EOC (End of Cycle), which leads to the satisfaction of all the conditions for inherent safety with large margin based on the quasi-static reactivity balance analysis under ATWS (Anticipated Transient Without Scram).

The present study investigates the lateral torsional buckling behaviour of pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) simply supported channel beams subjected to uniform bending about their major axis. A parametric study by varying the sectional geometry and span of channel beams is carried out by using ABAQUS software. The accuracy of the FE models was ensured by verifying them against the available results provided in the literature. The effect of geometric nonlinearity, geometric imperfections, and the dependency of finite element mesh on the lateral torsional buckling were carefully considered in the FE model. Lateral torsional buckling (LTB) strengths obtained from the numerical study were compared with the theoretical LTB strengths obtained based on the Eurocode 3 approach for steel sections. The comparison between the numerical strengths and the design procedure proposed in the literature based on Eurocode 3 approach revealed disagreements. Therefore, a simplified improved design procedure is proposed for the safe design strength prediction of pultruded GFRP channel beams. The proposed equation has been provided that might aid the structural engineers in economically designing the pultruded GFRP channel beams in the future.

지난 2005년 부산의 한 초등학교에서 시작된 "스쿨폴리스"제도가 그 효과를 인정받아 전국의 초등학교에 적용되고 있다. 하지만 스쿨폴리스 제도만으로는 부족한 인력을 확보하기 위해서 배움터지킴이 제도로 확대되었음에도 불구하고 국내에서는 2010년과 2011년에 잊지 못할 충격적인 초등학생 자살사건이나 성폭력 사건들이 교내에서 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 이와 같이 초등학교에서 고학년이 되는 4학년부터 중학교 1학년 학생들의 범죄에 대한 노출과 자살, 집단 따돌림 등의 문제가 심각하게 발전하는 현실을 감안해 전 국가 차원의 문제 해결책이 반드시 필요하다. 하지만, 인력, 공간, 기술, 정서적으로 총체적인 해결책을 제시하여야 함에도 불구하고 지금까지는 개별적인 피해 학생의 부모와 학생 당사자만의 문제로 여겨지고 사회에서 크게 관심을 얻지 못해 그 해결이 미온한 편이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 초등학생 범죄의 가장 큰 공간을 차지하는 학교 교실 내부에서 학생들이 자주 사용하는 스마트-폰의 특정 앱과 학교 내부의 홈페이지에 게시되는 글들을 분석하여 학생들이 집단 따돌림이나 자살, 폭력 사건 등이 발생하기 전에 이를 학부모, 학내에 근무하는 배움터지킴이, 선생님에게 안내함으로써 사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 시시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 우리가 제안한 시스템은 안드로이드 기반의 스마트-폰에서 동작하도록 설계되었으며, 모바일 웹 기술을 접목하여 교내 홈페이지 게시판에 게시되는 글들에 대한 모니터링을 통해서 보다 학생들의 심리, 정신, 건강 상태 등에 대해서 알아볼 수 있도록 설계하였다.
