This paper presents the influence of incident angles of earthquakes on inelastic dynamic responses of asymmetry single story buildings under seismic ground motions. The dynamic responses such as internal forces and rotational ductility factor are used to evaluate the importance of the incident angles of ground motions in the inelastic range of structural behavior. The base shear and torque (BST) response histories of the resisting elements and of the building are used to prove that the shape of the BST surface of the building can be a practical tool to represent those of all resisting elements. This paper also shows that the different global forces which produce the maximum demands in the resisting elements tend to converge toward a single distribution in a definable intensity range, and this single distribution is related to the resistance distribution of the building.

A new inverter topology for single-phase photovoltaic (PV) systems is proposed in this study. The proposed inverter offers a four-level voltage in its output terminals. This feature results in easier filtering in comparison with other conventional two-level or three-level inverters. In addition, the proposed four-level inverter (PFLI) has a transformer-less topology, which decreases the size, weight, and cost of the entire system and increases the overall efficiency of the system. Although the inverter is transformer-less, it produces a negligible leakage ground current (LGC), which makes this inverter suitable for PV grid-connected applications. The performance of the proposed inverter is compared with that of a four-level neutral point clamped inverter (FLNPCI). Theoretical analysis and computer simulations verify that the PFLI topology is superior to FLNPCI in terms of efficiency and suitability for use in PV transformer-less systems.

The current paper describes a simpler ground-type, single-plate electrowetting configuration for droplet transport in digital microfluidics without performance degradation. The simplified fabrication process is achieved with two photolithography steps. The first step simultaneously patterns both a control electrode array and a reference electrode on a substrate. The second step patterns a dielectric layer at the top to expose the reference electrode for grounding the liquid droplet. In the experiment, a $5{\mu}m$ thick photo-imageable polyimide, with a 3.3 dielectric constant, is used as the dielectric layer. A 10 nm Teflon-AF is coated to obtain a hydrophobic surface with a high water advancing angle of $116^{\circ}$ and a small contact angle hysteresis of $5^{\circ}$. The droplet movement of 1 mM methylene blue on this simplified device is successfully demonstrated at control voltages above the required 45 V to overcome the contact angle hysteresis.

In this paper, The characteristics of the new superconducting maglev system which has quadruple armature windings is examined. This system can generate guidance force and levitation force as well as propulsion force by single ground coil. The time-domain analysis method and phasor analysis method are derived to analyze the characteristics of the proposed system. From the numerical examples for two kind of armature winding configurations, it is shown that the levitation force and guidance force can be generated by single armature winding of the linear synchronous motor without any other ground coils for levitation and guidance, and that double layer configuration has better characteristics in the qualitive characteristics. like as efficiency, pulsation of the electromagnetic forces and drag ratio, than the single layer configuration.

A single Column/Shaft which extended the pile to the column of the bridge with same diameter has better safety and economical profit, but it usually has larger lateral displacement due to lateral loads such as wind, earthquake, wave, etc. A series of horizontal pile load testing were performed to study the lateral behavior of single column/shaft with varying different free lengths and embedded pile lengths. Eight instrumented test piles were cast-in-placed by bonding strain gauges at certain locations on both faces of the pile to measure bending moment, from two-way loadings. Linear variable differential transformers(LVDTs) were installed to measure the lateral pile displacement. Based on this, it is found that the test single column/shaft with different free lengths shows different failure modes. If the test pile has a longer free length, the failure occurs at the near the ground surface, but the shorter one's failure occurs at the below the ground surface.

Multiple earthquakes that occur during short seismic intervals affect the inelastic behavior of the structures. Sequential ground motions against the single earthquake event cause the building structure to face loss in stiffness and its strength. Although, numerous research studies had been conducted in this research area but still significant limitations exist such as: 1) use of traditional design procedure which usually considers single seismic excitation; 2) selecting a seismic excitation data based on earthquake events occurred at another place and time. Therefore, it is important to study the effects of successive ground motions on the framed structures. The objective of this study is to overcome the aforementioned limitations through testing a two storey RC building structural model scaled down to 1/10 ratio through a similitude relation. The scaled model is examined using a shaking table. Thereafter, the experimental model results are validated with simulated results using ETABS software. The test framed specimen is subjected to sequential five artificial and four real-time earthquake motions. Dynamic response history analysis has been conducted to investigate the i) observed response and crack pattern; ii) maximum displacement; iii) residual displacement; iv) Interstorey drift ratio and damage limitation. The results of the study conclude that the low-rise building model has ability to resist successive artificial ground motion from its strength. Sequential artificial ground motions cause the framed structure to displace each storey twice in correlation with vary first artificial seismic vibration. The displacement parameters showed that real-time successive ground motions have a limited impact on the low-rise reinforced concrete model. The finding shows that traditional seismic design EC8 requires to reconsider the traditional design procedure.

본고에서는 경주 월성북고분군에서 조영된 적석목곽분의 존재 양태의 두 측면, 즉 묘형과 집단복합묘군에 대해 고찰하였다. 적석 목곽분은 호석으로 한정된 봉분 안에 단위묘곽이 설치된 원형의 단위고분이 기본형으로, 그 묘형은 단일원분, 연접분, 다곽분으로 구분된다. 단일원분은 피장자 1인의 단장분이고, 연접분은 일반적으로 부부나 혈연관계인 가족의 합장분이다. 다곽분도 대개 최하위 랭크의 묘곽들로 구성된 합장분으로, 월성북고분군의 왕릉구역에만 존재했던 것으로 보인다. 한편 현재 조사가 진행 중인 경주 월성북고분군의 쪽샘지구에서는 미고지를 따라 고분들의 소구역 군집현상이 보인다. 이는 당시 사람들이 친연관계에 따라 소집단별로 미고지를 점유하여 그 축선 방향으로 중형급 단일원분이나 연접분을 조영하고 그 주변으로 다수의 소형분들을 위성처럼 배치하여 집단복합묘군을 형성해 나갔기 때문이다. 대릉원지구를 비롯한 경주 월성북고분군의 왕릉구역에서도 고분들은 집단복합묘군을 형성하였다. 왕릉구역의 집단복합묘군은 마립간 왕릉인 초대형 단일원분이나 왕과 왕비의 합장릉인 초대형 표형분을 주분(主墳)으로 그 주변에 대소형 고분들을 배치하여 형성되었다. 집단복합묘군의 피장자 중에는 신분이나 사회적 인격이 대등한 부부나 혈연관계의 가족이 포함되었겠지만, 고분들 사이의 랭크 차이가 현저하여 피장자 모두가 혈연관계였다고 볼 수는 없다. 집단복합묘군에 포함된 하위 랭크 고분의 피장자들은 주분 피장자 및 그 가족과 주종관계의 '소속인'들이었다고 판단된다. 경주 월성북고분군의 적석목곽분에서 보이는 이와 같은 묘형과 집단복합묘군은 신라 마립간시기 중앙의 사회집단과 그 성격을 말해준다. 앞으로 이에 대한 좀 더 정밀한 분석은 당시 신라사회의 여러 측면을 밝히는 데 많은 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A ground-loop heat exchanger for the ground source heat pump system is the core equipment determining the thermal performance and initial cost of the system. The size and performance of the heat exchanger is highly dependent on the ground thermal properties - the ground effective thermal conductivity, the borehole thermal resistance and the undisturbed ground temperature. Nowadays, precast concrete piles using steel reinforced precast concrete piles - energy piles - are used to reduce the installing cost of the ground-loop heat exchanger. We were carried out some tests to investigate the effects of some parameters such as borehole length, grouting materials and U-tube configuration of the energy piles. 4 concrete piles, each measuring $250mm{\sim}400mm$ in diameter and approx. 10m in length, and rigged with single spiral and 3 U-tube loop of $16mm{\times}2.3mm$ PB piping. The thermal response tests were conducted using a testing device for 4-different ground-loop heat exchangers. During the heating period, the energy piles absorb the heat of 0.89kW to 1.37kW.
