  • In this study, the drying shrinkage strains were compared of 24~60 MPa concrete specimens subjected to various curing conditions and measurement methods were compared. And, the applicability of the test and prediction methods were investigated. According to the results, drying shrinkage was significantly reduced in 28 day curing condition. In the sealed curing case, drying shrinkage strain from demolding time was identical to the one of the standard curing case for low strength concrete, however, drying shrinkage strain was greatly increased than the standard case for high strength case because of the effect of autogenous shrinkage. The efficient measurement was possible using the embedded gage for concrete drying shrinkage, but, the measured value by contact gage was lower than the one by the embedded gage. The test results agreed with EC2 model better than the other.

  • To establish nondestructive test method for rocket motor assembly with rubber and aerospace composite materials, practicable quality control acoustic emission test method is presented. Structural analysis for motor assembly is performed by ABAQUS code and analysis output result is confirmed by strain gage and AE data. Various specimens were tested and analyzed using strain gage and acoustic emission data. The hit rate of acoustic emission was closely related with case/rubber debonding. This report also describes practicable acoustic emission nondestructive method for evaluating motor case assembly quality assurance in the industrial field.

  • The existence of residual stress in the circumferential butt welded pipes is one of the most important problems concerning stress corrosion cracking in service. In this paper, the residual stress distributions in three kinds of circumferential butt welded pipes were measured by the hole drilling strain gage method and calculation using finite element method is performed and its results are compared with the experiments. At the inner surface of the pipe region near the center line of welding is under high tensile residual stress. However, as the distance from the center line of welding increases, the tensile component decreases and finally becomes compressive residual stress at region far away from the center line of welding. The longitudinal residual stress at the outer surface is compressive regardless of the diameter of pipe and the circumferential stress is changed rom compressive to tensile as pipe diameter increases. The results also demonstrate that the residual stress is mainly caused by self restraint bending force in the pipe welding.

  • A membrane unit for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage tank is a structural member which is designed specifically for preventing undesirable LNG leakage. Membrane units have to endure gas and liquid pressures by LNG and thermal stresses by the contact with cryogenic liquid of $-162^{\circ}C$. It is of importance to assure the strengths of membrane by experimental stress analysis under the temperature of LNG. In this paper, we proposed measurement system using commercial electrical strain gage and mechanical extension meter designed for this study.

  • By measuring concrete temperature and strains of concrete and reinforcing bars throughout gages embedded and also by observing the crack occurrence, this study aims at the characteristics of structural behavior of subway wall structure in associate with concrete ages. The length of 23.5m, thickness of 2.0m of real subway custody line was selected as a representative structure and 7 thermocouples and 6 strain gages were installed to measure the behavior of wall structure. The results were compared and verified with analytical results using MIDAS in order to show their usefulness. It was found that only attachment of strain gages on the surface of reinforcing bars can figure out the timing of crack occurrence and hydration heat program is useful to estimate comparatively exact magnitudes of temperature. Since estimated time of crack occurrence throughout thermal stress analysis depends on the period of transferred thermal stress from concrete to reinforcing bars, however, cracks from naked eyes were identified later than analytical results. Cracks were observed first at the center of wall line and then to the end of line symmetrically.

  • A knowledge of the resdual stress distribution at circumferential weldments can normally increase the accuracy of a fracture assessment in pipe line. In this paper, we present the measurements about the residual stress distributions at three kinds of circumferential butt welded pipes using the holl drilling strain gage method. By this experiment, we have obtined the following characteristics. At the inner surface of the pipe region near the center line of welding is under high tensile residual stress. However, as the distance from the center line of welding increases, the tensile component decreases and finally becomes compressive residual stress at region far away from the center line of welding. The longitudinal residual stress at the outer surface is compressive regardless of the diameter of pipe and the circumferential stress is changed from compressive to tensile as pipe diameter increases. The results also demonstrate that the residual stress is mainly caused by self-restraint bending force in the pipe welding.

  • This paper focuses on a newly designed ice load formula based on the ARAON's 2016 Arctic field data in order to improve a structural design against ice loads. The strain gage signals from ARAON's hull plating were converted to the local ice pressure upon the hull plating using the influence coefficient matrix and finite element analysis. First, a traditional pressure-area relationship is derived by applying probabilistic approaches to handle the strains measured onboard the ARAON. Then, the local ice load prediction formula is re-analyzed after reviewing the ARAON's additional field data to consider information about the ship speed and thickness of the sea ice. It is shown that the newly developed pressure-area relationship well reflects the influence of other design parameters such as the ship speed and ice thickness in the prediction of local ice loads on Arctic vessels.
