Axially loaded reinforced concrete columns are hardly exist in practice due to the development of some bending moments. These moments could be produced by gravity loads or the lateral loads. First, the current paper presents a detailed analysis on the overall structural behavior of 15 eccentrically loaded columns as well as one concentrically loaded control one. Columns bent in either single curvature or double curvature modes are tested experimentally up to failure under the effect of different end eccentricities combinations. Three end eccentricities ratio were studied, namely, 0.1b, 0.3b and 0.5b, where b is the column width. Second, an expression correlated the decay in the normalized axial capacity of the column and the acting end eccentricities was developed based on the experimental results and then verified against the available formula. Third, based on the equivalent column concept, the equivalent pin-ended columns were obtained for columns bent in either single or double curvature modes. And then, the effect of end eccentricity ratio was correlated to the equivalent column length. Finally, a simplified design procedure was proposed for eccentrically loaded braced column by transferring it to an equivalent axially loaded pin-ended slender column. The results of the proposed design procedure showed comparable results against the results of the ACI 318-14 code.

This study discusses the design of a parallel-operated DC-DC single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) for low-voltage application and current sharing with a constant output voltage. A coupled inductor is used for parallel-connected SEPIC topology. Generally, two separate inductors require different ripple currents, but a coupled inductor has the advantage of using the same ripple current. Furthermore, tightly coupled inductors require only half of the ripple current that separate inductors use. In this proposed work, tightly coupled inductors are used. These produce an output that is more efficient than that from separate inductors. Two SEPICs are also connected in parallel using the coupled inductors with a single common controller. An analog control circuit is designed to generate pulse width modulation (PWM) signals and to fulfill the closed-loop control function. A stable output current-sharing strategy is proposed in this system. An experimental setup is developed for a 18.5 V, 60 W parallel SEPIC (PSEPIC) converter, and the results are verified. Results indicate that the PSEPIC provides good response for the variation of input voltage and sudden change in load.

모형 압력 토조에 개단, 폐단, 관내토 그라우팅, 그리고 선단 하부지반 그라우팅 말뚝들을 설치하여 수행된 재하실험을 통해 그 지지력을 비교하였고, 유사화된(Simulated) 해진시 말뚝의 설치깊이를 변화시켜 선단 하부지반 그라우팅 말뚝의 안정성을 검토하였다. 또한, 재하실험과 해진 실험은 2개와 4개로 된 군말뚝에 대해서도 수행되었다. 관내토 선단부만 그라우팅한 말뚝의 지지력은 선단 지반 교란으로 인한 선단지지력 감소로 개단말뚝에 비해 극한지지력이 약 11.2~30.8%정도 작았다. 관내토 선단 하부지반 그라우팅한 말뚝의 지지력은 개단말뚝의 지지력보다 약 23.8~33.9%정도 증가하였으며, 이는 폐단말뚝의 지지력과 비슷하였다. 선단 하부지반 그라우팅된 군말뚝은 개단 군말뚝에 비해 증가하였는데, 2개의 군말뚝의 경우에는 14.6~31.8%만큼 지지력이 증가하였으며, 4개의 군말뚝의 경우는 15.3~22.4%만큼 증가하였다. 심해에서 발생된 해진시 관내토 선단 하부지반 그라우팅된 개단말뚝의 안정성은 말뚝의 설치 형태와 말뚝의 지중관입 길이에 따라 달라졌다. 외말뚝의 경우에는 지중 관입 깊이가 20m보다 깊어지면 안정한 상태를 유지할 수 있었으나, 12m보다 짧은 말뚝은 파괴될 수 있었고, 12m보다 긴 말뚝의 경우에는 가동(Mobility) 상태를 유지할 수 있었다. 군말뚝의 경우에는 지중 관입깊이가 7m이상이면 지지력의 일부만 감소하여 약간 변위하는 "Mobility" 상태를 유지할 수 있었다.유지할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a new architecture for a cost-effective power conditioning systems (PCS) using a single-sourced asymmetric cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (MLI) for photovoltaic (PV) applications is proposed. The asymmetric MLI topology has a reduced number of parts compared to the symmetrical type for the same number of voltage level. However, the modulation index threshold related to the drop in the number of levels of the inverter output is higher than that of the symmetrical MLI. This problem results in a modulation index limitation which is relatively higher than that of the symmetrical MLI. Hence, an extra voltage pre-regulator becomes a necessary component in the PCS under a wide operating bias variation. In addition to pre-stage voltage regulation for the constant MLI dc-links, another auxiliary pre-regulator should provide isolation and voltage balance among the multiple H-bridge cells in the asymmetrical MLI as well as the symmetrical ones. The proposed PCS uses a single-ended DC-DC converter topology with a coupled inductor and charge-pump circuit to satisfy all of the aforementioned requirements. Since the proposed integrated-type voltage pre-regulator circuit uses only a single MOSFET switch and a single magnetic component, the size and cost of the PCS is an optimal trade-off. In addition, the voltage balance between the separate H-bridge cells is automatically maintained by the number of turns in the coupled inductor transformer regardless of the duty cycle, which eliminates the need for an extra voltage regulator for the auxiliary H-bridge in MLIs. The voltage balance is also maintained under the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Thus, the PCS is also operational during light load conditions. The proposed architecture can apply the module-integrated converter (MIC) concept to perform distributed MPPT. The proposed architecture is analyzed and verified for a 7-level asymmetric MLI, using simulation results and a hardware implementation.

In this study, a single-power-conversion series-resonant ac-dc converter with high efficiency and high power factor is proposed. The proposed ac-dc converter consists of single-ended primary-inductor converter with an active-clamp circuit and a voltage doubler with series-resonant circuit. The active-clamp circuit clamps the surge voltage and provides zero-voltage switching of the main switch. The series-resonant circuit consists of leakage inductance $L_{lk}$ of the transformer and resonant capacitors $ C_{r1}$ and $ C_{r2}$. This circuit also provides zero-current switching of output diodes $D_1$ and $D_2$. Thus, the switching loss of switches and reverse-recovery loss of output diodes are considerably reduced. The proposed ac-dc converter also achieves high power factor using the proposed control algorithm without the addition of a power factor correction circuit and a dc-link electrolytic capacitor. A detailed theoretical analysis and the experimental results for a 1kW prototype are discussed.

This paper presents a simple and cost effective circuit topology of single-ended type high frequency quasi-resonant PWM inverter using IGBTs, which can operate under wide soft switching operation range based on ZCS for main power switch as compared with a conventional active voltage-clamped ZVS-PWM high frequency quasi-resonant inverter developed previously. In principle, this new circuit topology can efficiently operate under a constant frequency PWM control-based power regulation scheme. In particular, it is noted that the zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation can achieve for the main active power switch. On the other hand, the zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) commutation can also achieve for the auxiliary active power switch. The operating principle of this high-frequency Inverter treated here and its power regulation characteristics are illustrated on the basis of the simulation and feasible experimental results.

This paper presents a power and area efficient SAR ADC for multi-channel near threshold-voltage (NTV) applications such as neural recording systems. This work proposes a split dual-capacitive-array (S-DCA) structure with shifted input range for ultra low-switching energy and architecture of multi-channel single-ended SAR ADC which employs only one comparator. In addition, the proposed ADC has the same amount of equivalent capacitance at two comparator inputs, which minimizes the kickback noise. Compared with conventional SAR ADC, this work reduces the total capacitance and switching energy by 84.8% and 91.3%, respectively.
