As concrete is most usable material in construction industry it's been required to improve its quality. Nowadays, nanotechnology offers the possibility of great advances in construction. For the first time, the nonlinear buckling of straight concrete columns armed with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) resting on foundation is investigated in the present study. The column is modelled with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The characteristics of the equivalent composite being determined using the Mori-Tanaka model. The foundation around the column is simulated with spring and shear layer. Employing nonlinear strains-displacements, energy methods and Hamilton's principal, the governing equations are derived. Differential quadrature method (DQM) is used in order to obtain the buckling load of structure. The influences of volume percent of SWCNTs, geometrical parameters, elastic foundation and boundary conditions on the buckling of column are investigated. Numerical results indicate that reinforcing the concrete column with SWCNTs, the structure becomes stiffer and the buckling load increases with respect to concrete column armed with steel.

In this paper, efficient implementation of error correction code (ECC) processing circuits based on single error correction and double error detection (SEC-DED) code with check bit pre-computation is proposed for memories. During the write operation of memory, check bit pre-computation eliminates the overall bits computation required to detect a double error, thereby reducing the complexity of the ECC processing circuits. In order to implement the ECC processing circuits using the check bit pre-computation more efficiently, the proper SEC-DED codes are proposed. The H-matrix of the proposed SEC-DED code is the same as that of the odd-weight-column code during the write operation and is designed by replacing 0's with 1's at the last row of the H-matrix of the odd-weight-column code during the read operation. When compared with a conventional implementation utilizing the odd-weight- column code, the implementation based on the proposed SEC-DED code with check bit pre-computation achieves reductions in the number of gates, latency, and power consumption of the ECC processing circuits by up to 9.3%, 18.4%, and 14.1% for 64 data bits in a word.

Several two-dimensional analytical beam column joint models with varying complexities have been proposed in quantifying joint flexibility during seismic vulnerability assessment of non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frames. Notable models are the single component rotational spring element and the super element joint model that can effectively capture the governing inelastic mechanisms under severe ground motions. Even though both models have been extensively calibrated and verified using quasi-static test of joint sub-assemblages, a comparative study of the inelastic seismic responses under nonlinear time history analysis (NTHA) of RC frames has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study employs three hypothetical case study RC frames subjected to increasing ground motion intensities to study their inherent variations. Results indicate that the super element joint model overestimates the transient drift ratio at the first story and becomes highly un-conservative by under-predicting the drift ratios at the roof level when compared to the single-component model and the conventional rigid joint assumption. In addition, between these story levels, a decline in the drift ratios is observed as the story level increased. However, from this limited study, there is no consistent evidence to suggest that care should be taken in selecting either a single or multi component joint model for seismic risk assessment of buildings when a global demand measure such as maximum inter-storey drift is employed in the seismic assessment framework.

This paper describes a CMOS image sensor (CIS) with dual correlated double sampling (CDS) and column-parallel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and its measurement method using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) integrated module. The CIS is composed of a $320{\times}240$ pixel array with $3.2{\mu}m{\times}3.2{\mu}m$ pixels and column-parallel 10-bit single-slope ADCs. It is fabricated in a $0.11-{\mu}m$ CIS process, and consumes 49.2 mW from 1.5 V and 3.3 V power supplies while operating at 6.25 MHz. The measured dynamic range is 53.72 dB, and the total and column fixed pattern noise in a dark condition are 0.10% and 0.029%. The maximum integral nonlinearity and the differential nonlinearity of the ADC are +1.15 / -1.74 LSB and +0.63 / -0.56 LSB, respectively.

This paper presents the experimental result of Reinforced Concrete column-steel beam joint connected by Band Plates(BP). Main parameters in the test are the shape of BP and thickness of plate. Ten interior and exterior RC column-steel beam joint specimens are designed. Cyclic loads are applied to the beam end of eight specimens (four interior specimens and four exterior specimens). To evaluate the cyclic effect, monotonic loads are acted for two specimens. All specimen showed similar failure pattern such as the plate of BP get torn after the large deformation. Even though the specimen with double cross type BP has lower strength than the specimen with single cross type BP, the energy dissipation capacity of the specimen turned out high. Thus, provided the strength of joint with double cross type to be designed to have suitable strength by increasing the thickness of plate, the joint system may show higher seismic capacity.

쇄석다짐말뚝(Stone Column Method)은 연약한 점성토 지반이나 느슨한 사질토 지반의 개량에 사용되는 연약지반처리공법이다. 여러 가지 현장 시험과 실내 시험 결과, 쇄석다짐말뚝은 기존의 모래말뚝공법에 비해 지지력증대, 지반보강, 사면보강, 액상화 방지억제 등의 효과를 극대화할 수 있는 공법으로 알려져 있으나, 국내에서는 그 연구가 미약하여 설계 실무에서는 경험적인 방법이나 공식에만 의존하여 설계가 이루어지고 있는 상태이다(천병식, 2001). 또한 기존의 제안식에 대하여 검증 없이 사용되고 있어 기존에 제안된 지지력 이론식에 대해 검증할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 부산 00 0호교 건설공사지역 A1교대 구간의 실제 정재하시험 데이터와 가덕, 광양, 울산 신항만건설현장에 대한 비배수전단강도($c_u$)를 이용하여 단일쇄석다짐말뚝에 대한 Bulging 및 General shear failure시의 기존의 이론식들을 각각 비교분석하고, 실제 재하시험에서 얻은 극한지지력과 함께 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과, 지지력 이론식으로 구한 극한지지력이 정재하시험의 실측치 보다 매우 적은 결과를 보였으며, 원지반의 비배수전단강도($c_u$)는 극한지지력에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 실내 및 현장실험을 통해 보다 정확한 지반물성치와 현장 재하시험을 통해 국내적용시 실용적인 극한지지력을 산정하고 기존의 이론식을 개선해 나가야 할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 쇄석다짐말뚝의 합리적인 국내 적용을 위하여 쇄석다짐말뚝의 지지력에 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 주요 설계 파라미터에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하고 단일 쇄석다짐말뚝의 주요 파괴 메커니즘인 Bulging과 General Shear Failure시에 대해 주요 파라미터가 지지력 예측에 미치는 영향을 분석하여, 향후 쇄석다짐말뚝의 설계를 위한 지반조사 및 시험시에 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 국내 현장에서 시행한 재하시험 결과를 이용하여 현재 주로 이용되고 있는 지지력 예측 이론들의 적용성을 평가하였다. 분석결과, Bulging 및 General Shear Failure시의 기존의 지지력 이론식으로 구한 극한지지력이 정재하시험의 실측치보다 과소평가하였으며, 원지반의 비배수전단강도, 쇄석다짐말뚝의 내부마찰각, 횡방향응력, 원지반이 받는 상재하중 등이 극한지지력에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, General Shear Failure시의 민감도 분석결과, 원지반의 비배수 전단강도, 쇄석다짐말뚝의 내부마찰각, 원지반이 받는 상재하중의 변화에 따른 지지력은 각 제안식 별로 크게 차이가 나타났다.

연구대상은 건축물에 지하부의 이용 극대화 목적으로 지하부의 부력에 대한 부력 저항용 앵커를 고려하였다. 그러나 투수계수가 크고 지하수 유속이 빠른 화산쇄설층에서 앵커 천공부를 통해 지하수가 급격히 유출되어 앵커체 삽입이 불가능하였다. 또한 억지로 삽입된 앵커공에서는 계속적으로 많은 양의 해수와 시멘트가 유출되었으며, 앵커의 일부는 지반에 정착이 되지 않는 현상이 발견되었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 지하수 차단방법으로 초고압 분사교반 공법을 적용하였고, 그중 단일공 차수방법을 채택하여 부력방지앵커를 설치하였다. 본 연구에서는 초고압 분사교반 공법을 이용한 단일공 차수방법을 현장에 적용하고 3회에 걸친 시험시공을 통해 본 시공 시험에 적용할 주입재를 결정하였고 투수시험, 코어채취 표준관입시험 일축압축강도시험을 통하여 차수효과 및 지반개량 정도를 확인하였다. 또한 부력방지앵커의 설치 및 인장시험을 통해 앵커의 안정성을 확보하여 화산쇄설층에서 단일 차수공법의 적용성을 검증하였다.

Some design formulas and design procedures for single and multiple tuned liquid column dampers (TLCDs) are proposed in this study. Previous studies show that if the properties of the TLCD system are properly selected then the TLCD could be as effective as the traditional tuned mass dampers. In addition, the TLCD system offers advantages such as flexibility in terms of installation, little maintenance required, and potentials for multiple usage, etc., which are incomparable by other mechanical types of dampers. In this paper, a set of optimal properties such as length and head loss of a TLCD system are derived under the assumption that the building vibrates in a dominate mode and is subjected to Gaussian white noise excitation. A design procedure for a single TLCD system will be illustrated and discussed. Due to the nonlinearity in the damping term, the TLCD system is sensitive to the loading intensity. This loading sensitivity could limit the application range of the TLCD system. It will be shown in this paper that such a nonlinear effect can be reduced by using multiple TLCDs. As a demonstrative example, the control effects on a flexible building modeled as a single degree-of-freedom system subjected to white noise excitation will be analyzed and discussed using single or multiple TLCDs.
