A new approach for measuring the specific fracture energy of concrete denoted modified disk-shaped compact tension (MDCT) test is presented. The procedure is based on previous ideas regarding the use of compact tension specimens for studying the fracture behavior of concrete but implies significant modifications of the specimen morphology in order to avoid premature failures (such as the breakage of concrete around the pulling load holes). The manufacturing and test performance is improved and simplified, enhancing the reliability of the material characterization. MDCT specimens are particularly suitable when fracture properties of already casted concrete structures are required. To evaluate the applicability of the MDCT test to estimate the size-independent specific fracture energy of concrete ($G_F$),the interaction between the fracture process zone of concrete andthe boundary of theMDCTspecimens at the end of the test is properly analyzed. Further, the experimental results of $G_F$ obtained by MDCT tests for normal- and high-strength self-compacting concrete mixes are compared with those obtained using the well-established three-point bending test. The procedure proposed furnishes promising results, and the $G_F$ values obtained are reliable enough for the specimen size range studied in this work.

A large number of welded steel moment-resisting framed (SMRF) structures failed due to brittle fracture induced by ductile fracture at beam-to-column connections during 1994 Northridge earthquake and 1995 Kobe (Hyogoken-Nanbu) earthquake. Extensive research efforts have been devoted to clarifying the mechanism of the observed failures and corresponding countermeasures to ensure more ductile design of welded SMRF structures, while limited research on the failure analysis of the ductile cracking was conducted due to lack of computational capacity and proper theoretical models. As the first step to solve this complicated problem, this paper aims to establish a straightforward procedure to simulate ductile cracking of welded joints under monotonic tension. There are two difficulties in achieving the aim of this study, including measurement of true stress-true strain data and ductile fracture parameters of different subzones in a welded joint, such as weld deposit, heat affected zone and the boundary between the two. Butt joints are employed in this study for their simple configuration. Both experimental and numerical studies on two types of butt joints are conducted. The validity of the proposed procedure is proved by comparison between the experimental and numerical results.

Failure of connecting rod in automotive engine may cause catastrophic situation. The corner radius at small end has an effect on stress raising. To investigate the stress distribution in connecting rod during operation, the finite element analysis was used by giving possible maximum tension and compression. Excessive sizing after forging connecting rod may result in the tensile residual stress which lower the fatigue life and cause premature failures. It was shown that when the sizing amount is too large, the location of high tensile residual stress coincide with that of high stress amplitude during operation through the elastic-plastic finite element analysis. The endurance limit moves down due to the surface finish and decarburization, which combines with the movement of resultant stress points to dangerous range. It was concluded that the precise control of sizing and enough corner radius are necessary to a reliability of connecting rod.

The masonry is a complex heterogeneous material and its shear deformation and fracture is associated with very complicated progressive failures in masonry structure, and is investigated in this paper using a mesoscopic mechanical modelling, Considering the heterogeneity of masonry material, based on the damage mechanics and elastic-brittle theory, the newly developed Material Failure Process Analysis (MFPA) system was brought out to simulate the cracking process of masonry, which was considered as a three-phase composite of the block phase, the mortar phase and the block-mortar interfaces. The crack propagation processes simulated with this model shows good agreement with those of experimental observations by other researchers. This finding indicates that the shear fracture of masonry observed at the macroscopic level is predominantly caused by tensile damage at the mesoscopic level. Some brittle materials are so weak in tension relative to shear that tensile rather than shear fractures are generated in pure shear loading.

This study investigated the effects of Silicoating procedure on the tensile bond strength of resin-bonded prostheses. The Rexillium III specimens were treated with electrochemical etching and Silicoating procedure, followed by thermocycling and the NNB, Pors-on 4, and Degudent-U specimens were treated with Silicoating procedure. The specimens were debonded in tension with a Tensilon machine. Also, all specimens were observed with SEM, concentration of Si elements was analyzed with EPMA, and the mode of failure was recorded. The results of this study were obtained as follows: 1. In the Rexillium III specimens, the tensile bond strength of the Silicoated specimens was higher than that of the electrochemically etched specimens, and significant differences were observed (P<0.05). 2. The tensile bond strength of electrochemically etched Rexillium III specimens, significant differences were observed between the thermocycled and nonthermocycled specimens (P<0.05), but no significant differences were observed in the Silicoated specimens (P>0.05). 3. The tensile bond strength of the Silicoated specimens decreased NNB, Pors-on 4, Rexillium III, and Degudent-U in that order named. 4. Unlike the electrochemically etched specimens, the Silicoated specimens showed gap-free metal-resin interfaces with SEM. 5. Compared to the electrochemically etched specimens, the Silicoated specimens showed higher concentration of Si elements at the metal-resin interfaces and resin cement. 6. Photographic evaluation (X2) of the fractured sites revealed mainly cohesive failures with the Silicoated specimens, and adhesive failures with the electrochemically etched specimens.

국내에서 산사태 등 사면붕괴로 인한 재해의 사망자수는 전체 자연재해 사망자수의 약 24%에 해당된다. 이러한 사면붕괴는 주로 태풍 및 집중호우가 발생하는 시기에 집중되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 사면붕괴 예방을 위한 연구는 소홀하게 취급되어 왔다. 한편 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)은 컴퓨팅능력과 무선통신능력을 지난 센서노드들을 이용하여 자율적인 네트워크를 형성하고, 서로 간에 정보를 전달하는 것이다. 따라서 USN기술은 유비쿼터스 사회의 핵심기술로 부각되고 있으며, 이 기술을 활용하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이와같은 USN기술을 이용하여 사면붕괴 모니터링 시범시스템을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 한개의 신축계와 두개의 지표경사계를 사용하였으며, 센싱된 실시간 사면거동정보를 수집${\cdot}$변환하고 데이터베이스 서버로 전송하여 저장하는 모듈을 구현하였다. 또, 저장된 데이터를 손쉽게 분석할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 시범시스템은 한국건설기술연구원의 테스트베드에서 현장적용성 실험을 수행하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

Damages to buildings affected by a near-fault strong ground motion are largely attributed to the vertical component of the earthquake resulting in column failures, which could lead to disproportionate building catastrophic collapse in a progressive fashion. Recently, considerable interests are awakening to study effects of earthquake vertical components on structural responses. In this study, detailed modeling and time-history analyses of a 12-story code-conforming reinforced concrete moment frame building carrying the gravity loads, and exposed to once only the horizontal component of, and second time simultaneously the horizontal and vertical components of an ensemble of far-field and near-field earthquakes are conducted. Structural responses inclusive of tension, compression and its fluctuations in columns, the ratio of shear demand to capacity in columns and peak mid-span moment demand in beams are compared with and without the presence of the vertical component of earthquake records. The influences of the existence of earthquake vertical component in both exterior and interior spans are separately studied. Thereafter, the correlation between the increase of demands induced by the vertical component of the earthquake and the ratio of a set of earthquake record characteristic parameters is investigated. It is shown that uplift initiation and the magnitude of tensile forces developed in corner columns are relatively more critical. Presence of vertical component of earthquake leads to a drop in minimum compressive force and initiation of tension in columns. The magnitude of this reduction in the most critical case is recorded on average 84% under near-fault ground motions. Besides, the presence of earthquake vertical components increases the shear capacity required in columns, which is at most 31%. In the best case, a direct correlation of 95% between the increase of the maximum compressive force and the ratio of vertical to horizontal 'effective peak acceleration (EPA)' is observed.
