The drag reduction agency (DRA) for gas pipeline, a novel method used for reducing friction or drag on a gas flowing to increase the transmission efficiency of gas pipeline, is a more flexible and economical technology than internal flow efficient coatings. In this paper, an effective DRA has been developed in Authors' Institute by analyzing the hydrodynamic friction resistance on internal gas pipeline and then studying the work mechanism and molecular structure of DRA. In the meantime, a group of property test for selecting DRA material has been determined, including viscosity, contact angle, volatility, corrosion, slab extending, and flow behavior in horizontal tube. The inhibition efficiency and drag reduction efficiency of the developed DRA have been investigated finally based on the relevant test methods. Results of corrosion test show that the developed DRA has very good inhibition effect on mild steel by brushing a thin layer of DRA on steel specimens, giving inhibition efficiency of 91.2% and 73.1% in 3%NaCl solution and standard salt fog environment respectively. Results of drag-reducing test also show that the Colebrook formula could be used to calculate friction factors on internal pipes with DRA as the Reynolds number is in the range of $0.75\times10^5\sim2.0\times10^5$. By comparing with normal industrial pipes, the friction resistance coefficient of the steel pipe with DRA on internal wall decreases by 13% and the gas flux increases by 7.3% in testing condition with Reynolds number of $2.0\times10^5$.

성토지지말뚝 공법의 국내 적용성 평가를 위해 이론적인 설계방법과 수치해석적인 방법을 통해 거동특성을 분석하고 침하 안정성 검토를 수행하였다. 성토고와 연약지반 두께에 따른 말뚝의 효율과 보강재의 인장력 및 침하 안정성을 분석한 결과 이론식의 경우 연약지반 특성에 따른 거동특성을 반영하지 못하고 있으며, 수치해석 결과 대비 다소 보수적인 결과가 나타났다. 수치해석에서는 이론식에서 제시한 성토고 높이 보다 작은 성토고에서는 말뚝 효율의 급격한 감소가 나타났으며, 연약층 대비 성토고가 높은 경우에도 말뚝의 효율의 감소가 나타났다. 기존 이론식을 바탕으로 설계가 이뤄질 경우 성토노반의 침하 안정성은 확보되는 것으로 나타났다. 성토지지말뚝은 국내의 고속철도의 침하관리기준을 확보할 수 있는 토공 침하억제공법으로 그 적용성이 기대된다.

The resonance properties due to the surface plasmon(SP) excitation of metal nanoparticles make the nanocomposite films promising for various applications such as optical switching devices. In spite of the well-known ultra-sensitive operation of optical switches based on a guided wave, the application of nanocomposite film(NC) has inherent limitation originating from the excessive optical loss related with the surface plasmon resonance(SPR). In this study, we addressed this problem and present the experimental and theoretical analysis on the pump-probe optical switching in prism-coupled Au(1 vol.%):$SiO_2$ nanocomposite waveguide film. The guided mode was successfully generated using a near infrared probe beam of 1550 nm and modulated with an external pump beam of 532 nm close to the SPR wavelength. We extend our approach to ultra-fast operation using a pulsed laser with 5 ns pulse width. To improve the switching speed through the reduction in thermal loading effect accompanied by the resonant absorption of pump beam light, we adopted a metallic film as a coupling layer instead of low-index dielectric layer between the high-index SF10 prism and NC slab waveguide. We observed great enhancement in switching speed for the case of using metallic coupling layer, and founded a distinct difference in origin of optical nonlinearities induced during switching operation using cw and ns laser.

본 논문에서는 합성보의 부착슬립 효과를 고려할 수 있는 유한요소 수치모델을 제안하고자 한다. 전단연결재가 설치된 슬래브와 거더 경계에서 선형 전단력-슬립 관계를 가정하여, 부착슬립 거동을 해석할 수 있는 수치모델이 구현되었다. 본 수치모델을 통하여 축 방향의 자유도를 부가하지 않고 2절점의 보 요소를 적용하여 합성보 경계에서의 슬립 거동을 고려하는 것이 가능하다. 선형 부분전단 연결이론을 토대로 한 슬립 거동의 지배방정식은 슬래브와 거더 경계에서 힘의 평형상태와 단면 내에서 상수로 가정된 곡률을 바탕으로 결정된다. 또한, 지배방정식 구성에 있어서 요소 양 절점에서의 휨 모멘트 값을 필요로 하기 때문에 유한요소 해석으로 도출되는 상수 모멘트를 요소 내에서 선형으로 분포시켰다. 제안된 수치모델을 적용한 해석결과를 기존 연구의 수치해석 결과 및 실험결과와 비교하였으며, 하중-처짐 곡선의 비교를 통하여 본 모델의 성능을 검증하였다.

The LMC method of construction which have application to the road bridge is being considered the least relative importance about the watertight performance, because it focused on the durability of concrete. However, The LMC which is being expanded scope of application to the method of construction has grown importance about the watertight performance on the usability and maintenance side as well as durability. In this study, The latex concrete of two types which are different from mingled-ratio of the latex made a comparison to the compressive strength, watertight performance, dynamic wheel load resistance performance and confirmed what it has resistibility about chemical action through the chemical resistance test. The initial strength and watertight performance showed that were tendency the downward at 14 days. However, The long-term strength after 28 days showed that it has firm performance. In consequence, The initial curing of latex concrete is required to scrupulous care and attention at the site application. As a chemical resistance test result, The specimen that is steeped in sulphuric acid solution of 2% discovered the delamination phenomenon. However, it was confirmed that delamination phenomenon don't have an effect on the compressive strength. Moreover, As a dynamic wheel load resistance test result, The latex concrete was concluded to confirming the durability and running stability, because it had hardly any thickness reduction of latex concrete surface about dynamic wheel load and rarely found crack and delamination.

최근 폐기물에 의한 환경오염이 큰 사회적인 문제로 대두되고 있으며, 특히 산업체에서 발생되는 폐기물에 큰 관심이 주어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 주물업계에서 발생하는 폐주물사를 재활용하기 위한 효율적인 재생방법 및 주물에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해, 최근에 많이 사용하게 되어 다량으로 발생하는 폐자경성 후란주물사의 재생에 대해 연구하였다. 현재 산업체에서 사용하고 있는 기계적 방법 및 뉴매틱 방법의 여러 가지 단점들을 개선하기 위하여, 연소방법 중 가장 효과적인 유동층에서 후란 주물사를 연소법으로 재생하였다. 후란점결제와 경화제 등을 완전 연소시키기 위해서는 유동층의 온도가 약 $650~700^{\circ}C$의 범위가 적절하였다. 주형을 제작하였을 때, 연소법에 의한 재생사가 뉴매틱법에 의한 것보다 표면 안정도와 강도가 각각 4% 및 7.2%로 크게 나타났다. 또한, 연소법의 순수 재생에너지 비용을 산출하면 주물사 톤당 약 1만원으로, 신사 구입의 비용인 약 5만원에 비하면 매우 저렴해서 산업화가 되면 주물사의 구입비가 절약되고, 매립에 의한 환경오염 문제들을 해소할 수 있다. 따라서 효과적인 폐자원의 리싸이클링으로 최근 침체되어 가는 주물업계의 국제 경쟁력 제고와 청정기술의 산업화를 할 수 있는 자료들을 얻을 수 있었다.

A compression to tensile load transforming (CTT) device was developed to determine indirect tensile strength of concrete material. Before CTT test, Particle flow code was used for the determination of the standard dimension of physical samples. Four numerical models with different dimensions were made and were subjected to tensile loading. The geometry of the model with ideal failure pattern was selected for physical sample preparation. A concrete slab with dimensions of $15{\times}19{\times}6cm$ and a hole at its center was prepared and subjected to tensile loading using this special loading device. The ratio of hole diameter to sample width was 0.5. The samples were made from a mixture of water, fine sand and cement with a ratio of 1-0.5-1, respectively. A 30-ton hydraulic jack with a load cell applied compressive loading to CTT with the compressive pressure rate of 0.02 MPa per second. The compressive loading was converted to tensile stress on the sample because of the overall test design. A numerical modeling was also done to analyze the effect of the hole diameter on stress concentrations of the hole side along its horizontal axis to provide a suitable criterion for determining the real tensile strength of concrete. Concurrent with indirect tensile test, the Brazilian test was performed to compare the results from two methods and also to perform numerical calibration. The numerical modeling shows that the models have tensile failure in the sides of the hole along the horizontal axis before any failure under shear loading. Also the stress concentration at the edge of the hole was 1.4 times more than the applied stress registered by the machine. Experimental Results showed that, the indirect tensile strength was clearly lower than the Brazilian test strength.

This paper presents results from experimental and numerical studies on the response of steel-concrete composite box bridge girders under certain localized fire exposure conditions. Two composite box bridge girders, a simply supported girder and a continuous girder respectively, were tested under simultaneous loading and fire exposure. The simply supported girder was exposed to fire over 40% of its span length in the middle zone, and the two-span continuous girder was exposed to fire over 38% of its length of the first span and full length of the second span. A measurement method based on comparative rate of deflection was provided to predict the failure time in the hogging moment zone of continuous composite box bridge girders under certain localized fire exposure condition. Parameters including transverse and longitudinal stiffeners and fire scenarios were introduced to investigate fire resistance of the composite box bridge girders. Test results show that failure of the simply supported girder is governed by the deflection limit state, whereas failure of the continuous girder occurs through bending buckling of the web and bottom slab in the hogging moment zone. Deflection based criterion may not be reliable in evaluating failure of continuous composite box bridge girder under certain fire exposure condition. The fire resistance (failure time) of the continuous girder is higher than that of the simply supported girder. Data from fire tests is successfully utilized to validate a finite element based numerical model for further investigating the response of composite box bridge girders exposed to localized fire. Results from numerical analysis show that fire resistance of composite box bridge girders can be highly influenced by the spacing of longitudinal stiffeners and fire severity. The continuous composite box bridge girder with closer longitudinal stiffeners has better fire resistance than the simply composite box bridge girder. It is concluded that the fire resistance of continuous composite box bridge girders can be significantly enhanced by preventing the hogging moment zone from exposure to fire. Longitudinal stiffeners with closer spacing can enhance fire resistance of composite box bridge girders. The increase of transverse stiffeners has no significant effect on fire resistance of composite box bridge girders.

To study the working mechanism and size effect of an innovative dovetail UHPC joint originated from the 5th Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, a large-scale testing subject to negative bending moment was conducted and compared with the previous scaled specimens. The static responses, i.e., the crack pattern, failure mode, ductility and stiffness degradation were analyzed. It was found that the scaled specimens presented similar working stages and working mechanism with the large-scale ones. However, the post-cracking ductility and relative stiffness degradation all decrease with the enlarged length/scale, apart from the relative stiffness after flexural cracking. The slab stiffness at the flexural cracking stage is 90% of the initial stiffness while only 24% of the initial stiffness reserved in the ultimate stage. Finite element model (FEM) was established and compared with the experiments to verify its effectiveness in exploring the working mechanism of the innovative joint. Based on this effective method, a series of FEMs were established to further study the influence of material strength, pre-stressing level and ratio of reinforcement on its deflection-load relationship. It is found that the ratio of reinforcement can significantly improve its load-carrying capacity among the three major-influenced factors.

The main goal of this study is to prepare a program for analyzing High Strength Steel Fibrous Reinforced Concrete (HSSFRC) slabs and predict the response and strength of the slab instead of preparing a prototype and testing it in the laboratory. For this purpose, new equations are proposed to represent the material properties of High Strength Steel Fibrous Reinforced Concrete. The proposed equations obtained from performing regression analysis on many experimental results using statistical programs. The finite element method is adopted for non-linear analysis of the slabs. The eight-node "Serendipity element" (3 DoF) is chosen to represent the concrete. The layered approach is adopted for concrete elements and the steel reinforcement is represented by a smeared layer. The compression properties of the concrete are modeled by a work hardening plasticity approach and the yield condition is determined depending on the first two stress invariants. A tensile strength criterion is adopted in order to estimate the cracks propagation. many experimental results for testing slabs are compared with the numerical results of the present study and a good agreement is achieved regarding load-deflection curves and crack pattern. The response of the load deflection curve is slightly stiff at the beginning because the creep effect is not considered in this study and for assuming perfect bond between the steel reinforcement and the concrete, however, a great agreement is achieved between the ultimate load from the present study and experimental results. For the models of the tension stiffening and cracked shear modulus, the value of Bg and Bt (Where Bg and Bt are the curvature factor for the cracked shear modulus and tension stiffening models respectively) equal to 0.005 give good results compared with experimental result.
