In this study, the steel strip reinforcement bolted with braced angles is displayed skin friction resistance as well as passive resistance through existing the steel strip reinforcement. To understand pullout behavior characteristics, friction effects between soil and reinforcement are evaluated with the width of reinforcement, magnitude of surcharge, and existence of passive resistance member through laboratory pullout test. To analyze interference effects for passive resistance member, various tests are carried on case that the number, the location, and the spacing of braced angles are different. Using this test result, pullout resistance factor is calculated to consider location of braced angles and degree of interference for spacing ratio.

The Mechanical properties of steel in hot strip mill were associated with the alloy composition, plastic deformation, cooling history and so on. In the case of the same alloy composition and deformation conditions, cooling history on ROT (run out table) is the main factor in affecting mechanical properties of steel, especially, in carbon steel. On ROT, the steel undergoes under various kinds of cooling conditions such as radiation, convection by air, water and wetting zone. The coiling temperature (CT) of the steel is also important factor in affecting mechanical properties. But with the same CT, the mechanical properties of steel can be different because the temperature history of cooling is more important factor than CT itself. In this study, we have studied the relations between temperature history and mechanical properties of steel and then the predicted mechanical properties have compared with the measured values.

The shape of cold rolled steel sheets is defined as the degree of flatness, and the flatter, the better. Because undesirable strip shapes of cold rolled steel sheets can affect not only visible problem but also automatic working process in customer's lines, the requirement of the customers is more and more stringent. So we usually used the tension leveler to make high quality of strip flatness. For the improvement of the quality of strip flatness, this report developed three- dimensional FEM (Finite Element Method) simulation model, and analysis about the strain and stress distribution of strip in the tension leveling process. The numerical study can be summarized as follows. (1) If we pass the edge wave material (steepness: $1.0\%$) that the stress-difference between the strip center and the edge is 5.2kgf through tension leveler. the stress-difference is decreased 0.45kgf and the steepness is improved to $0.29\%$. (2) If the Intermesh is increased from 6mm to 7mm, the steepness is improved from $0.294\%$ to $0.268\%$. (3) If the initial steepness is decreased form $1.0\%$ to $0.75\%$, the final steepness is improved from $0.294\%$ to $0.263\%$. We know that more increased intermesh and lower initial steepness make the final steepness improved.

In this paper, the slab method have been applied to investigate the strip casting process in which hot coil is produced from molten steel directly. In the twin roll strip casting process, molten steel supplied by the nozzle cools and solidifies due to the heat extraction effect of the rolls and hot rolling of the solidified shell takes place simultaneously. The analysis of hot rolling has been carried out by using the existing results of solidification analysis for the twin roll strip casting process. The current slab method provides basic design data such as roll separation force, rolling torque, rolling power as well as end dam separation force which are required to design strip caster. The effect of friction on the basic process parameters are investigated also. It is shown that the use of appropriate friction coefficient is important and that the characteristics of hot rolling in the twin-roll strip casting process is quite different from the conventional hot rolling processes.

We examined the working fracture behavior of a silicon-steel strip caused by deformation deviation by performing a pilot rolling test. The deformation deviation resulted in the edges (or center portion) of the strip being stretched and the other parts being compressed in the rolling direction; this was because of different degrees of deformation in these parts. We designed roll grooves shape to reflect the role of roll bending, which generates waviness in the strip in an actual cold rolling process, into the pilot rolling test. The material used in the rolling test was highsilicon steel (about 3%). The results of the test showed that the type of fracture in the strip specimen varied with the magnitude of the deformation deviation. The tensile stress produced at the strip edges because of the center waviness in the rolling direction was a crucial factor that resulted in edge cracking and a zigzag-shaped fracture at the center.

When galvanized steel strip is produced through a continuous hot-dip galvanizing process, the thickness of the adhered zinc film is controlled by impinging a thin plane nitrogen gas jet. The thickness of the zinc film is generally affected by impinging pressure distribution, its gradient and shearing stress at the steel strip. These factors are influenced by static pressure of gas spraying at air knife nozzle, a nozzle-to-strip distance and strip and a geometric shape of the air knife, as well. At industries, galvanized steel strip is produced by changing static pressure of gas and a distance between the air knife nozzle and strip based on experimental values but remaining a geometric shape of nozzle. Splashing and check-mark strain can generally occur when a distance between the air knife nozzle and strip is too short, while ability of zinc removal can lower due to pressure loss of impinging jet when a distance between the air knife nozzle and strip is too long. In present study, buckling of the jet and change of static pressure are observed by analyzing flow characteristics of the impinging jet. The distance from the nozzle exit to the strip varies from 6 mm to 16 mm by an increment of 2 mm. Moreover, final coating thickness with change of a distance between the air knife nozzle and strip is compared with each case. An ability of zinc removal with the various distances is predicted by numerically calculating the final coating thickness.

Many pressure vessels for the power plants are fabricated from low alloy ferritic steels. The inner sides of the pressure vessels are commonly weld_cladded with austenitic stainless steels to minimize problems of corrosive attack. The submerged-arc welding(SAW) process is now used in preference to other processes because of the possibilities open to automation to reduce the overaII welding times. The most reliable way to avoid underclad cracks(UCC) which are often detected at the overlap of the clad beads is to use nonsusceptible steels such as SA508 class 3. At present domestically developed forging steel of SA508 cl.S is now being cladded with single layer by using 90mm wide strip, which transfers higher heat input into the base metal compared to the conventional two layers strip cladding which has been in wide use with 30-60 mm wide strip. But the current indices for the influence of heat input on crack susceptibility are not accurate enough to express the subtle difference in crack susceptibility of the steel. Therefore, the purpose of this present study is: l) To determine UCC susceptibility on domestic forging steel, SA508 cl.S cladded with single layer by using submerged arc 90mm strip and, 2) To optimize heat input range by which the crack susceptibility could be eliminated.

The finite strip method is presented for the analysis of steel deck bridges. Like the Pelikan-Esslinger design method for the steel deck bridges, steel deck is treated as an equivalent orthotropic plate. In the presented method, the deck is discretised by finite strips in the longitudinal direction and the effect of main girder or floor beam deflection can also be accounted for. In this method, the terms of harmonic series at elastically support such as transverse floor or diaphragm in steel deck become coupled. Solutions of this method are compared with other available analytical and numerical solution, and good agreement is observed.

Recent progress in manufacture of hot and cold rolled steel strip products and their applications were reviewed. The main trend in the technological development has been to meet the customers' requests for quality improvement and cost reduction. The weight reduction to reduce the fuel consumption is the main issue in the automotive industry and, therefore, various steels have been developed to improve formability as well as strength. The steels include super-EDDQ steels, bainitic steels, TRIP steels, etc. In the oil industry, efforts have been focused to improve strength together with either low temperature toughness or HIC/SSCC resistance. The packaging industry is also a highly competitive market, and steel and canmaking companies have worked cooperatively to develop cost-effective canmaking processes as well as high performance steels. This type of cooperation has also been found important in other industries such as the appliance and electronic industries for the benefits of both steelmakers and customers.

This paper proposes a cooling stop temperature control(CST) and a phase transformation control(PTR) which aim at obtaining the uniform temperature and quality along the longitudinal direction of the high strength steel on the run-out table(ROT) process. The problems of the temperature control are analyzed for the conventional steel and the new control concepts are derived from a time-temperature transformation(TTT) diagram. The proposed control technologies are verified from the simulation results under the temperature prediction model by the heat transfer governing equation, and the temperature estimation simulator. It is shown through the field test of the hot strip mills that the phase transformation ratio of the high strength steel is considerably improved by the proposed temperature controls.
