As reviewing of current trend on PC connection details, owing to effective stress transfer in the connection, it grow to increase that use of mechanical splices, reinforcements or welded splices, and prestressing. However such devices as reinforcement, mechanical splices entail not only more cost resulted from materials but also extra construction process so as to cause PC used method to lower competition against conventional method. Therefore more enhanced connection details which help working process simplified and construction cost reduced. In this research, as replace 9.3mm 7strand for reinforcement, it is attempt to devise connection detail which makes workability improve and confirm effective stress transfer in the region of connection. The experimental research is proceeded by partial tension test of specimen. The splice lengths of 7strand is decided to be variations. The flexural capability is verified to depend on spice length. An an appropriate splice length could be also determined as a precedent research on improving PC connection detail.

A Quench in cable-in-conduit (CIC) conductors is often initiated by a disturbance such as strand motion that generates a highly localized normal zone in a strand or a few strands of the CIC conductors. The localized normal zone causes current and heat transfer between a disturbed strand and neighboring strands. Electrical and thermal contact characteristics between strands thus have an effect on the transient stability of the CIC conductors. In this paper the effect of contact characteristics between strands on the CIC conductor stability is presented based on the measured heat transfer characteristics of supercritical helium (SHe) for the local heating. The quench and recovery processes of the strands for the abrupt and highly localized disturbance are analyzed at the boundary between quench and recovery.

Recently, it has been reported that the inhibition of the strand transfer function of HIV-1 integrase is necessary to obtain significant antiviral activity. Accordingly, several compounds typified by aryl 1,3-diketo acids that can inhibit strand transfer reaction of HIV-1 IN have been identified. In this work, we synthesized new 4- hydroxy-5-azacoumarin-3-carbox(thio)amides (1a-h) and evaluated for the inhibition of HIV-1 IN strand transfer reaction with a brief SAR. Among synthesized, compound 1e was the most potent HIV-1 IN inhibitor with equipotent activity to that of L-708,906. Therefore, the 4-hydroxy-5-azacoumarin ring can be considered as a new scaffold in designing more potent of HIV-1 IN inhibitors for treatment of AIDS.

Ground anchors can be good solution in large and deep excavation. Anchored supports generally provide larger workspace than strut supports and good performances. The major benefit provided by these anchored systems was the open excavation area created by eliminating horizontal or raked struts, which generally inhibit rapid construction within the site area. In loose soils, however, anchors are sometimes hard to get high pullout anchor capacity, so that the spacing of anchor both horizontally and vertically is frequently controlled, in which the construction costs of anchors are increased. In order to increase anchor capacity, therefore, conceptual introduction of the multi-strand anchor is presented in this paper. Also, this study shows an numerical study of predicting the load transfer of the multi-strand anchor and a beam-column analysis was performed by a Elastic-Plastic beam theory.

In this paper, an experimental program has been conducted to investigate transfer length in high strength concrete members pretensioned through a seven-wire strand with FBG sensors. To measure transfer length, five members were fabricated, which had a length of 3 m and a cross-section of $150{\times}150mm$. It was measured that the concrete compressive strength was 58MPa at pretensioning. Test results indicated that more precise and reliable measurement on the transfer length was attained with FBG sensors than conventional gauges attached on concrete surface. Through comparing the measured transfer length and predictions, applicability of several transfer length models in literature was investigated. This paper can be useful for relevant research field such as investigation on the bond mechanism of a seven-wire strand in concrete members.

In this study, the transfer length of strand was measured for three types of HCS member(H200, H320, and H400) manufactured by the pretension method. Strain gauges were attached in longitudinal direction at regular intervals on the sides of the HCS members, and the strain was measured during the cutting process of HCS. The stain at the cutting point was zero, and gradually increases in the central direction of the member, converging to a constant value after passing the transfer length. In the case of H200 members in which the strands were arranged one by one, the transfer lengths were formed within the range of the design equation (up to 762 mm). The transfer length of the H320 member and the H400 member, in which three strands were arranged, was higher than the design range (850 mm or more).

An unbonded post-tensioned anchor using a 15.2 mm diameter 7-wire strand was developed based on finite element analysis and experimental testing. In order to evaluate its performance, static load tests and load transfer tests were conducted following KCI-PS101. The static load tests and additional strand tensile tests confirmed that the developed anchor had a capacity more than nominal tensile strength of a 7-wire strand without any damage or deterioration. According to the result of load transfer tests for many different reinforcing details, specimens with no additional reinforcing bars sustained at least 1.64 times the nominal tensile strength of the strand.

This paper presents a study on the prediction of transfer length of 13 mm seven-wire prestressing steel strand in pretensioned prestressed concrete members with rectangular cross-section including several material properties and design and manufacture parameters. To this end, a carefully selected database consisting of 207 different cases coming from 18 different sources spanning a variety of practical transfer length prediction situations was compiled. 16 single input features and 5 combined input features are analyzed. A widely used feedforward neural regression model was considered as a representative of several machine learning methods that have already been used in the engineering field. Classical multiple linear regression was also considered in order to comparatively assess performance and robustness in this context. The results show that the implemented model has good prediction and generalization capacity when it is used on large input data sets of practical interest from the engineering point of view. In particular, a neural model is proposed -using only 4 hidden units and 10 input variables-which significantly reduces in 30% and 60% the errors in transfer length prediction when using standard linear regression or fixed formulas, respectively.

In this study, the static load test and the load transfer test were carried out to evaluate the structural performance of the circular anchorage proposed by the previous study. Specimens were fabricated according to KCI-PS101 and ETAG 013. As a result of the static load test, it was verified that the displacement of the wedge and the strand was kept constant when the tensile force of 80% of the nominal strength of the strand was applied. In the load transfer test, it was confirmed that all the specimens satisfied the stabilization formula of KCI-PS101 and ETAG 013. Post-tensioned one-way slab with circular anchorage were fabricated to evaluate the flexural behavior. All specimens exhibited the same flexural behavior and maximum load. However, the specimen with circular anchorage were advantageous than the rectangular anchorage one in terms of crack control of the anchorage zone.

Ramp-rate limitation is a serious obstacle for successful operation of fast charging and discharging magnet Ramp-rate limitation is hard to expect or fully investigate due to its electric and thermo-hydraulics couplings. In this paper, the simplest case of ramp-rate limitation is investigated with two-strand superconducting cable model considering transient heat transfer The simulation results are compared with the experimental results.
