The stone pagoda of Mireuk temple site is currently restoring through the repairing process. This stone pagoda has the various construction types in the inner and outer space. Therefore, the stress concentration and structural behavior need to be considered through the analysis of various construction patterns. To this end, this study presents the structural modelling and analysis considering the discrete element analysis technique to solve the discontinuum behavior between the stone elements. Also, this study performs the structural performance evaluation through the various design variables for the safety of stone pagoda. Through the analysis results, we can find out the small stress concentration in the several members. But, because the stresses and displacements are relatively small, we can secure the safety of the whole structure.

This paper addresses numerically the behavior of steel structures under Fire-after-Earthquake (FAE) loading. The study is focused on a four-storey library building and takes into account the damage that is induced in structural members due to earthquake. The basic objective is the assessment of both the fire-behavior and the fire-resistance of the structure in the case where the structure is damaged due to earthquake. The combined FAE scenarios involve two different stages: during the first stage, the structure is subjected to the ground motion record, while in the second stage the fire occurs. Different time-acceleration records are examined, each scaled to multiple levels of the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) in order to represent more severe earthquakes with lower probability of occurrence. In order to study in a systematic manner the behavior of the structure for the various FAE scenarios, a two-dimensional beam finite element model is developed, using the non-linear finite element analysis code MSC-MARC. The fire resistance of the structure is determined using rotational limits based on the ductility of structural members that are subjected to fire. These limits are temperature dependent and take into account the level of the structural damage at the end of the earthquake and the effect of geometric initial imperfections of structural members.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of purchase behavior of Cosmeceuticals according to appearance concern. The subjects of this study were 709 women aged for 20 to 50 living in Daegu. The questionnaires were conveniently sampled from December 20 to 31, 2007. The SPSS 12.0 package was use for data analysis which included Frequency analysis, Factor analysis, Cronbach's a and Analysis Structural Equation Modeling by use of Amos 5.0. The results of this study were as follows; Appearance concern had influence on usage behavior of cosmeceuticals and usage satisfaction of cosmeceuticals, but appearance concern had not influence on usage preference of cosmeceuticals. Usage behavior of cosmeceuticals had influence on usage satisfaction of cosmeceuticals and usage preference of cosmeceuticals. And usage satisfaction of cosmeceuticals had influence on usage preference of cosmeceuticals.

In this study, mixed-mode fracture behavior is simulated effectively through the numerical method using the axial defomation link elements which can predict the behavior of quasi-brittle material. The behavior of quasi-brittle material is modeled numerically using the exponential tension softening constitutive equation and verified by comparing with the result of published experimental result. In order to verify the mixed-mode fracture behavior through the developed numerical method, analysis of mode I is formulated and the result is compared with those of FEM first, and then mixed-mode analysis is analyzed and compared with existing theories and experimental data. Also the characteristics of fracture behavior is examined through the analysis of crack generation with respect to various mode mixity.

The various types of structural materials that are available in the construction industry nowadays make it necessary to predict their stress-strain behavior. Geopolymer are alternatives for ordinary Portland cement concrete that are made from pozzolans activation. Due to relatively new material, many mechanical specifications of geopolymer are still not yet discovered. In this study, stress-strain behavior has been provided from experiments for unconfined geopolymers. Modulus of Elasticity and stress-strain behavior are critical requirements at analysis process and knowing complete stress-strain curve facilitates structural behavior assessment at nonlinear analysis for structures that have built with geopolymers. This study intends to investigate stress-strain behavior and modulus of elasticity from experimental data that belongs for geopolymers varying in fineness and mix design and curing method. For the sake of behavior determination, 54 types of geopolymer are used. Similar mix proportions are used for samples productions that have different fineness and curing approach. The results indicated that the compressive strength ranges between 7.7 MPa and 43.9 MPa at the age of 28 days curing.

The majority of connections in moment resisting frames are considered as being fully-rigid. Consequently, the real behavior of the connection, which has some level of flexibility, is ignored. This may result in inaccurate predictions of structural response. This study investigates the influence of flexibility of the extended end-plate connections in the steel moment frames. This is done at two levels. First, the actual micro-behavior of extended end-plate moment connections is explored with respect to joint flexibility. Then, the macro-behavior of frames with end-plate moment connections is investigated using modal, nonlinear static pushover and incremental dynamic analyses. In all models, the P-Delta effects along with material and geometrical nonlinearities were included in the analyses. Results revealed considerable differences between the behavior of the structural frame with connections modeled as fully-rigid versus those when flexibility was incorporated, specifically difference occurred in the natural periods, strength, and maximum inter-story drift angle.

Behavior of underground structural systems is usually complicated because of various unknown parameters. In order to construct those structural systems safely and economically, exact identification of the system parameters and accurate analysis of the system behaviors are essentially required. In this study, a forward analysis program, which is able to eliminate numerical errors due to far field boundary effect, is developed by coupling finite and boundary elements. In this coupled analysis, boundary elements are used in the semi-infinite domain where stress variation is small, and finite elements in the stress concentration region where material nonlinearity should be considered. Then, a back analysis program which can identify the system parameters is developed using the direct method to be combined with the forward analysis program. The elastic modulus and initial stress, which are most important in the description of the behavior of underground structures, are taken as the system parameters. A simple example is examined 0 show that the method can be used effectively.

This paper addresses the behavior and strength of structural walls with a concrete compressive strength exceeding 69 MPa. This information also enhances the current database for improvement of design recommendations. The objectives of this investigation are to study the effect of axial-load ratio on seismic behavior of high-strength concrete flexural walls. An analysis has been carried out in order to assess the contribution of deformation components, i.e., flexural, diagonal shear, and sliding shear on total displacement. The results from the analysis are then utilized to evaluate the prevailing inelastic deformation mode in each of wall. Moment-curvature characteristics, ductility and damage index are quantified and discussed in relation with axial stress levels. Experimental results show that axial-load ratio have a significant effect on the flexural strength, failure mode, deformation characteristics and ductility of high-strength concrete structural walls.
