As temporary storage facilities for spent nuclear fuels in domestic nuclear power plants are expected to be saturated, external intermediate storage facilities would be required in the future. Spent nuclear fuels are stored in metal canisters and then placed in a dry environment within concrete or metal casing for operation. In the United States, the dry storage method for spent nuclear fuels has been operated for an extended period. Based on the corrosion experiences of dry storage canisters in chloride environments, numerous studies have been conducted to reduce corrosion in welds. With the construction of intermediate storage facilities in Korea for spent nuclear fuels expected near coastal areas adjacent to nuclear power plants, there is a need for research on the corrosion occurrence of welds and mitigation methods for canisters in chloride environments. In this paper, we measured and compared the residual stresses in the Heat-Affected Zones (HAZ) after electron beam welding (EBW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) processes for candidate materials such as 304L, 316L, and duplex stainless steel(DSS). We investigated the possibility of microstructure control through the application of surface modification processes using friction stir processing (FSP). Corrosion tests on each welded specimen revealed a higher corrosion rate in EBW welds compared to GTAW. Furthermore, it was confirmed that corrosion resistance improved due to phase refinement and redistribution of precipitates when FSP was applied.

군 내무생활관, 독신자 숙소 등은 동일한 평면이 반복되면서 대량으로 건설되는 대표적인 공공건축물이다. 이들 건축물들은 향후 군 구조개편시 부대의 이동, 재편에 따라 건축물의 해체 및 재사용 등이 요구되는 경우도 있다. 이러한 이유로 2005년 이래 군 건축물에 대해 철골조 기반의 공업화 건축공법인 모듈러 공법의 도입이 이루어져 왔다. 군 건축물에 모듈러 공법을 적용함에 있어 가장 중요한 요소는 표준화를 통한 공사비 절감, 건축물의 해체 및 재사용의 용이성 등이나 기존의 모듈러 군시설들은 이러한 요구를 만족시키지 못하였다. 본 연구는 향후 많은 수요가 예측되며 표준화된 모델을 적용하기 용이한 군독신자 숙소를 대상으로 식스-시그마 방법론을 이용한 모듈러 건축 시스템을 제안한다. 식스-시그마방법론을 적용하면 개발 단계에서 고객 요구사항을 주요 설계요소인 CTQ에 반영할 수 있고 이를 기반으로 설계 컨셉의 도출이 가능하다. 분석 결과 공사비 절감은 면적당 골조 중량, 재사용 용이성은 공장제작 비율의 지표로 나타낼 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 BOQ시스템은 기존의 모듈러 시스템에 비해 공장제작비율은 약 80% 향상되고, 면적당 골조의 중량은 기존 모듈러 시스템에 비해 62% 절감되어 충분한 경쟁력을 가지고 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

This project sought to conduct an economic feasibility study regarding the commercial production of bio-hydrogen by the marine hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 using carbon monoxide-containing industrial off-gas. We carried out the economic evaluation of the bio-hydrogen production process using the raw material of steel mill by-product gas. The process parameter was as follows: $H_2$ production rate was 5.6 L/L/h; the conversion of carbon monoxide was 60.7%. This project established an evaluation criterion for about 10,000 tonne/year. Inflation factors were considered as 3%. The operating costs were recalculated based on prices in 2014. The total investment required for development was covered 30% by capital and 70% by a loan. The operation cost for the 0.5-year test and integration, and the cost for the first three months in the 50% production period were considered as the working capital in the cost estimation. The costs required for the rental of office space, facilities, and other related costs from the construction through to full-scale production periods were considered as continuing expenses. Materials, energy, waste disposal and other charges were considered as the operating cost of the development system. Depreciation, tax, maintenance and repair, insurance, labor, interest rate charges, general and administrative costs, lubrication and miscellaneous expenses were also calculated. The hydrogen price was set at US$ 4.15/kg for the economic evaluation. As a result, the process was considered to be economical with the payback period of 6.3 years, NPV of 18 billion Won and IRR of 26.7%.

막구조의 설계에서 막재료의 효율적인 사용을 위해서는 측지선에 의한 재단도 해석을 수행해야 한다. 막구조의 측지선 결정방법은 크게 측지요소(geodesic element)를 이용한 비선형 형상해석에 의한 방법과 임의의 곡면 형상에 대한 측지선 탐색에 의한 방법으로 나눌 수 있는데, 현재까지 이 두 가지 해석법은 모두 3절점요소에 대한 적용알고리즘 만이 제시되었고, 4절점 요소에 대한 해석법은 제시되지 않았다. 이는 막구조의 설계에서 4절점 요소의 적용을 어렵게 하는 가장 큰 요인이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3절점, 4절점 평면요소에 동시에 적용 가능한 측지선 결정알고리즘을 제시한다. 이를 위해 저자의 이전 연구를 발전시켜 명시적 비선형 해석법인 동적이완법을 비선형 측지선 형상해석에 적용하였다. 또한 3절점요소 뿐만 아니라 4절점요소에 대해서도 측지요소의 도입에 의한 형상해석이 가능하도록 하였으며, 4절점요소와 측지선요소에 의한 비선형 형상해석 및 재단도 해석예제를 통하여 본 연구에서 제시한 알고리즘의 정확성 및 효율성을 검증하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안한 측지선 형상해석알고리즘은 형상해석, 응력해석, 재단도 해석과 관련된 일련의 해석과정에 대한 4절점요소의 적용성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

원자력발전소에서 철판이나 폴리머 라이너 판은 가스나 액체가 격남건물 외부로 누설되지 않도록 하기 위하여 채택되었다. 만일 어떤 사고가 발생하여 이 판이 손상을 입는 다면 콘크리트는 안전성 요구 측면에서 최후의 보루가 되어야 한다. 그 능력을 구명하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 시공이음의 유 무와 습윤조건 및 하중상태가 콘크리트의 누설저항성에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위한 연구가 수행되었다. 실험결과로부터, 습윤상태에 시공이음이 있는 경우, 가스의 누설은 압력이 $1kg/cm^2$부터 시작되었으나 시공이음이 없는 경우는 $2kg/cm^2$부터 누설이 시작됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 기건 및 무재하 상태에는 시공이음의 유 무에 관계없이 콘크리트에 존재하는 가스의 통로가 일정하므로 누설량이 일정한 경향을 가지고 증가하였다. 최종적으로 재하상태에는 Okamoto et al.(1995)의 연구에서설명하는 바와 같이 누설량이 벽체의 두께에 반비례하므로 실제 발전소에 설치되는 벽체 두께를 고려하면 시공이음에 있어도 가스의 밀봉에는 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다.

East Parts of Bangladesh have been benifited by low cost energy generated by domestic natural gas but West parts where energy generated by imported fuel. Bangladesh Government authority has very much concerned to transmit the low cost electricity to the West from the East for past several years. To solve such concerns, cross-country 230kv double circuits Power transmission line was proposed, however there was a big obstacle for the realization of this line to cross the Jamuna river which has 12 km long width with a deep muddy river bed. A consultant engineering firm named Merz-Mclellan anyway finalized this plan and a world-wide bid was announced on June 31, 1979. Due to the expected difficulty to construct the towers on sea like area, only three construction groups have participated. including a Korean joint venture organization of Samsung-Korean Developement corporation-Kolon Electric Machinery company. After 3 months bid evaluation, contract was awarded to Korean Consosium and KEM Co was in charge of designing steel towers with anchor bolts and base plates beside to electrical engineering field. Then KEM Co have faced and over-comed many unenpected technical difficulties such as forced eccentricity joint on base plate, distorsion issue of 60mm thick plates welding, threading anchor bolts, tad heat treatment of some anchor bolts, disagreement from Consultant Engineer on multiplying factor of leg stresses for 45$^{\circ}$ wind and on reducing O.L.F for wind loads on cables for such 1220km long spans. After spending two years long period for designing and engineering towers, base plates, and anchor bolts, first shipment of tower was finally realized on Nov. 8, 1981 and on the other hand KDD has proceeded concrete caisson work on schedule at Jamuna river site and expected to complete tower erection and stringing of cables within this year of 1982 which was original completion target.

The Wagner coefficient is a key parameter used to describe the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) behaviour of the I-beam, since even for a doubly-symmetric I-section with residual stress, it becomes a monosymmetric I-section due to the characteristics of the non-symmetrical distribution of plastic regions. However, so far no theoretical derivation on the energy equation and Wagner's coefficient have been presented due to the limitation of Vlasov's buckling theory. In order to simplify the nonlinear analysis and calculation, this paper presents a simplified mechanical model and an analytical solution for doubly-symmetric I-beams under pure bending, in which residual stresses and yielding are taken into account. According to the plate-beam theory proposed by the lead author, the energy equation for the inelastic LTB of an I-beam is derived in detail, using only the Euler-Bernoulli beam model and the Kirchhoff-plate model. In this derivation, the concept of the instantaneous shear centre is used and its position can be determined naturally by the condition that the coefficient of the cross-term in the strain energy should be zero; formulae for both the critical moment and the corresponding critical beam length are proposed based upon the analytical buckling equation. An analytical formula of the Wagner coefficient is obtained and the validity of Wagner hypothesis is reconfirmed. Finally, the accuracy of the analytical solution is verified by a FEM solution based upon a bi-modulus model of I-beams. It is found that the critical moments given by the analytical solution almost is identical to those given by Trahair's formulae, and hence the analytical solution can be used as a benchmark to verify the results obtained by other numerical algorithms for inelastic LTB behaviour.

The behavior of building industry metal sheeting under shear forces has been extensively studied and equations have been developed to predict its shear stiffness. Building design engineers can make use of these equations to design a metal deck form bracing system. Bridge metal deck forms differ from building industry forms by both shape and connection detail. These two factors have implications for using these equations to predict the shear stiffness of deck form systems used in the bridge industry. The conventional eccentric connection of bridge metal deck forms reduces their shear stiffness dramatically. However, recent studies have shown that a simple modification to the connection detail can significantly increase the shear stiffness of bridge metal deck form panels. To the best of the author's knowledge currently there is not a design aid that can be used by bridge engineers to estimate the stiffness of bridge metal deck forms. Therefore, bridge engineers rely on previous test results to predict the stiffness of bridge metal deck forms in bracing applications. In an effort to provide a design aid for bridge design engineers to rely on bridge metal deck forms as a bracing source during construction, cantilever shear frame test results of bridge metal deck forms with and without edge stiffened panels have been compared with the SDI Diaphragm Design Manual and ECCS Diaphragm Stressed Skin Design Manual stiffness expressions used for building industry deck forms. The bridge metal deck form systems utilized in the tests consisted of sheets with thicknesses of 0.75 mm to 1.90 mm, heights of 50 mm to 75 mm and lengths of up to 2.7 m; which are representative of bridge metal deck forms frequently employed in steel bridge constructions. The results indicate that expressions provided in these manuals to predict the shear stiffness of building metal deck form panels can be used to estimate the shear stiffness of bridge metal deck form bracing systems with certain limitations. The SDI Diaphragm Design Manual expressions result in reasonable estimates for sheet thicknesses of 0.75 mm, 0.91 mm, and 1.21 mm and underestimate the shear stiffness of 1.52 and 1.90 mm thick bridge metal deck forms. Whereas, the ECCS Diaphragm Stressed Skin Design Manual expressions significantly underestimate the shear stiffness of bridge metal deck form systems for above mentioned deck thicknesses.

Post-tensioning (PT) tendons are commonly used for the assembly of modularized concrete members, and tension is applied to the tendons during construction to facilitate the integrated behavior of the members. However, the tension in a PT tendon decreases over time due to steel corrosion and concrete creep, and consequently, the stress on the anchor head that secures the PT tendon also diminishes. This study proposes an automatic detection system to identify tension reduction in a PT tendon using pulsed-eddy-current (PEC) measurement. An eddy-current sensor is installed on the surface of the steel anchor head. The sensor creates a pulsed excitation to the driving coil and measures the resulting PEC response using the pick-up coil. The basic premise is that the tension reduction of a PT tendon results in stress reduction on the anchor head surface and a change in the PEC intensity measured by the pick-up coil. Thus, PEC measurement is used to detect the reduction of the anchor head stress and consequently the reduction of the PT tendon force below a certain threshold value. The advantages of the proposed PEC-based tension-reduction-detection (PTRD) system are (1) a low-cost (< $ 30), low-power (< 2 Watts) sensor, (2) a short inspection time (< 10 seconds), (3) high reliability and (4) the potential for embedded sensing. A 3.3 m long full-scale monostrand PT tendon was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed PTRD system. The PT tendon was tensioned to 180 kN using a custom universal tensile machine, and the tension was decreased to 0 kN at 20 kN intervals. At each tension, the PEC responses were measured, and tension reduction was successfully detected.

콘크리트는 경제적이며 고내구성 건설재료이지만, 염해에 노출된 경우 매립된 철근의 부식으로 인해 내구성에 대한 문제가 발생한다. 최근 들어 동절기에 제설제가 많이 사용되고 있는데, 제설제의 사용은 콘크리트 표면에 미세균열과 박리를 증가시키고 용해된 제설제는 매립된 철근의 부식을 야기한다. 기존의 염화물 지배방정식인 Fick's 2nd Law의 해석기법은 표면이 열화된 콘크리트의 염해특성을 평가하지 못하므로 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 다층구조 확산 모델과 시간의존성 염화물 확산을 이용하여 제설제에 노출된 콘크리트의 염화물 해석기법을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 18년 경과된 콘크리트 도로교의 염해실태를 분석하였으며, 역해석을 통하여 표면열화깊이 및 열화된 콘크리트 층의 증가된 염화물 확산성을 평가하였다. 제안된 기법은 30MPa 콘크리트에서 12.5~15.0mm 열화깊이와 2배 증가된 열화층의 염화물 확산성을 나타내었다. 본 해석기법은 표면열화 및 표면 강화 등 2개의 다른 확산성을 가진 콘크리트의 염화물 거동을 평가하는데 효과적으로 적용될 수 있다.
