Laminated rubber bearing is very popular base isolation of earthquake engineering pertaining to the passive structural vibration control technologies. Rubber used in fabricating NRB and LRB can be easily attacked by various environmental factors such as oxygen, heat, light, dynamic strain, and organic liquids. Among these factors, this study carried out thermal aging test to investigate the effect of thermal aging on the mechanical properties of laminated rubber bearings in accelerated exposure condition of $70^{\circ}C$ temperature for 168 hours. The compressive-shear test was carried out to identify the variation of compressive and shear properties of the rubber bearings before and after thermal aging. In contrast to tensile strength and elongation tests, the hardness of rubber materials showed the increasing tendency dependent on exposure temperature and period. Based on the test results, the property changes of rubber bearing mainly aged by heat are quantitatively presented.

Since the mechanism of chloride diffusion and its ratio in concrete depend on structural conditions and concrete as a micro-structure, if these are analyzed quantitatively, the long-term ageing of structures can be predicted. Although, a quantitative analysis of concrete micro-structure, in which the results are affected by various parameters, is very difficult, this can be done indirectly by the durability test of concrete. In this study, the compressive strength, void ratio and air permeability of concrete. In this study, the compressive strength, void ratio and air permeability of concrete are chosen as the parameters in concrete durability test, and these effects on test results are analysed according to changes of mixing properties. The relationships between parameters and chloride diffusion velocity is used for prediction models of chloride diffusion. The developed prediction models for the chloride diffusion according to mixing and physical properties, can be used to estimate the service life and corrosion initiation of reinforcing bars in marine structures.

This study aims to develop and commercialize a soundproof wall capable of planting at the urban ecological. The vegetative soundproof wall developed in the study showed highly superb structural test results for sound absorption coefficients and met the quality standards in the sound-absorbing performance test. Its structure is systemized to supply water to soils and plant roots inside the planting basis with rainwater running down the inclined planes near the planting basis in the front of the vegetation panel. It allows for sporadic water supply for about 30 days of drought. The test results show that the plants continued favorable growth and development in leaves, stems, and roots, making the vegetative soundproof plate a product capable of reacting to climate environment changes.

Computer simulation significantly reduces the high costs associated with actual crash tests and is expanding due to its ability to analyze various test results quantitatively that are difficult to measure in real tests. Research on evaluation technologies is limited according to the finite element analysis, which aims to replace structural verification testing. In this study, considerations for virtual crash tests were derived, and the validity of the zero-energy mode (hourglass mode) was analyzed as part of the considerations for validating the results of vehicle crash simulations. The study reflects on the considerations for virtual crash tests and the variation in hourglass coefficient values affects the occurrence of the hourglass mode. As the hourglass coefficient changes, the maximum hourglass energy reaches over 5% of the maximum internal energy, necessitating a conservative review. A comprehensive study of the maximum hourglass energy is required, considering additional analysis results for various models and collision conditions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to derive solutions and prevent similar cases from occurring by analyzing the causes of cracks found in temperature cycling tests of rocket motor. Methods: By combining the results of the current state confirmation test, non-destructive test, domestic and foreign rocket motor comparison test, cutting test, and adhesion test according to the number of times to apply mold release agent, a Cause and Effect Diagram analysis was performed to derive the cause of cracks. Results: Through this study, 26 factors that could cause cracking in rocket motors during temperature cycling tests were identified. Through various additional test results, a total of five causes were identified, including chemical and structural design of the joint between the propellant and stress relief insert, omission of procedure in the manufacturing procedures, natural aging due to temperature, and load accumulation due to temperature changes. The fundamental cause was confirmed to be insufficient consideration of the release properties of the propellant and stress relief insert. Conclusion: During the design process, it was confirmed that this could be solved by structurally or chemically designing the insert so that it does not combine with the propellant, or by applying a mold release agent during the manufacturing process.

Nondestructive instrumented indentation test is the method to evaluate the mechanical properties by analyzing load - displacement curve when forming indentation on the surface of the specimen within hundreds of micro-indentation depth. Resistance spot welded samples are known to difficult to measure the local mechanical properties due to the combination of microstructural changes with heat input. Particularly, more difficulties arise to evaluate local mechanical properties of resistance spot welds because of having narrow HAZ, as well as dramatic changed in microstructure and hardness properties across the welds. In this study, evaluation of the local mechanical properties of resistance spot welds was carried out using the characterization of Instrumented Indentation testing. Resistance spot welding were performed for 590MPa DP (Dual Phase) steels and 780MPa TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) steels following ISO 18278-2 condition. Mechanical properties of base metal using tensile test and Instrumented Indentation test showed similar results. Also it is possible to measure local mechanical properties of the center of fusion zone, edge of fusion zone, HAZ and base metal regions by using instrumented indentation test. Therefore, measurement of local mechanical properties using instrumented indentation test is efficient, reliable and relatively simple technique to evaluate the tensile strength, yield strength and hardening exponent.

일체형 삼각 트러스 형태의 철선을 아연도금 강판에 용접한 철선일체형 데크 플레이트는 슬래브 시공 시 현장시공 최소 및 동바리와 지보공 등 거푸집 공사비 절감을 목적으로 개발되어 이미 많은 현장에 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 180mm 두께 슬래브에 적용 가능한 철선일체형 데크 플레이트 시스템을 개발하기 위해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 상부철선, 하부철선, 래티스 철선, 경간, 단부가공방법을 변수로 채택하여 총 14개의 시험체를 실물크기로 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 시험체의 최종 파괴형태 변화 및 단부가공방법이 시험체의 구조 성능에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 하부철선의 영향보다는 래티스 철선이 시험체의 거동에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

일정 하중에 지속적으로 노출되는 고분자의 장기간 사용을 위해서는 재료의 수명을 평가할 수 있는 가속화된 시험 방법이 필요하다. 반복 피로하중 시험법은 이러한 방법들 중 하나로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 X-선 회절법을 이용하여 고밀도 폴리에틸렌의 반복 피로하중에 의한 구조적 변화와 크리프 변형을 비교하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 별도의 인장시험기를 제조, X-선 회절기에 부착하여 장시간 변형 과정을 성공적으로 관찰하였다. 그 결과 크리프와 반복 피로하중 사이의 거시적이고 뚜렷한 차이에도 불구하고 결정화도, 결정크기 및 면간거리와 같은 결정의 미세구조는 두 방법에서 거의 동일하게 관찰되었다. 그러나 항복점 전(BYP), 항복점(YP) 그리고 항복점 후(AYP)로 각각 변형시킨 후 시험한 시료의 경우 AYP와 다른 두 시료간 뚜렷한 구조적 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

Identification of damage location based on modal measurement is an important problem in structural health monitoring. The damage index method that attempts to evaluate the changes in modal strain energy distribution has been found to be effective under certain circumstances. In this paper two damage index methods using bending strain energy and shear strain energy have been evaluated for numerous cases at different locations and degrees of damage. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility of the damage index method to localize the damage on large span concrete bridge. Finite element models were used as the test structures. Finally this method was used to predict the damage location in an actual structure, using the results of a modal survey from a large concrete bridge.

Now, a long span and special types of steel deck bridges like as suspention or cable state bridges are increasing and Guss Asphalt used in pavement. But Guss Asphalt may caused severe stress and displacement of the bridge as it is treated using very high temperature ranging from $220^{\circ}C\;to\;260^{\circ}C$. In this paper, a series of numerical tests of a steel deck box arch bridge were conducted to estimate the thermal effect of a steel deck bridge according to temperature changes.
