Recently, the underground reinforced concrete(RC) box structures have been increasingly built in Korea. In such structures, the heat of hydration may cause serious cracking problems. The RC box structures are classified in this category that needs much attention to control the hydration heat during construction. The purpose of the present study is to analyse the parameters which are related to the thermal crackings of the box structures. In this study, the quantitative studies of thermal stresses according to construction conditions in the RC box structures are thoroughly analysed. Major influencing variables are studied through the finite element analysis which affect the thermal cracking of RC box structures.

Cracking of concrete is one of the main issues of structural design next to ensuring the load-bearing capacity. Thermal cracking is a recurring concern in the production of concrete structures in particular when large, massive structures are considered. Thremal stresses arise from the differential temperature distribution either within s sturcture or between newly cast sectons and adjoining older parts. There are many different methods of reducing thermal stresses. A method often used for reducing temperature within a structure, is to cool the inner core with embedded cooling pipes. In this study, finite element method is employed for thermal analysis of concrete structures. To calculate water temperature variation in pipe, the conservation of thermal energy in internal flow was adopted. The cooling effect of pipe cooling is studied with several factors like convective coefficient, water temperature, concrete heat characteristics

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have been widely used as reinforcement for concrete structures. However, under elevated temperatures, the difference between the transverse coefficients of thermal expansion of FRP rebars and concrete may cause the splitting cracks of the concrete cover. As a result, the bonding of FRP-reinforced concrete may not sustain its function to transfer load between the FRP rebar and the surrounding concrete. The current study investigates the cracking resistance of FRP reinforced concrete against the thermal expansion based on a mechanical model that accounts for the tensile softening behavior of concrete. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed model, the critical temperature increments at which the splitting failure of the concrete cover occurs and the internal crack radii estimated are compared with the results obtained from the previous studies. Simplified equations for estimating the critical temperature increments and the minimum concrete cover required to prevent concrete splitting failure for a designated temperature increment are also derived for design purpose.

Domestic nuclear steam generators with Alloy 600 HTMA tubes have experienced axial cracking at eggcrate tube support plates(TSPs). The axial stress corrosion cracks were observed at the crevice between outside of tubes and eggcrate TSPs. The root cause of axial cracking was investigated by thermal hydraulic analysis and sludge distribution diagnosis. It is suggested that deposition of sludge at eggcrate TSPs could increase the outside surface temperature of tube and promote the enrichment of impurities at crevice, and thus accelerate cracking. Additionally strategy for reducing the sludge ingress to steam generators is discussed.

Single-shot laser damage of thin Cr films on glass substrates has been studied to understand the cracking and peeling-off mechanism. A numerical model is developed for the calculation of transient heat transfer and thermal stresses in Cr films during excimer laser irradiation and cooling, the transient temperature, and the stress-strain fields are analyzed by using a three-dimensional finite-element model of heat flow. According to the numerical analysis for the experimentally determined cracking and peeling-off conditions, cracking is found to be the result of the tensile brittle fracture due to the excessive thermal stresses formed during the cooling process, while peeling-off is found to be the combined result of films bulging from the softened glass surface at higher temperature and the tensile brittle fracture during the cooling process.

In this study, the effect of external restraint on the thermal stresses and thermal cracking mode in mass concrete are analysed using the two major factors affecting external restraint such as the ratio of width go height of the placed structure (L/H) and the elastic modulus of base structure (E). For this parametric study, many cases with different values of L/H and Er are analysed by the FEM program and the co-relationship of the those major factors is examined. To evaluate the effect of external restraint on the thermal behavior of placing structure, internal restraint stress caused by temperature difference is subtracted from total thermal stress. In the case of small value of L/H or Er, it shows as internally restricted mode indicating maximum tensile stress in surface at early age, and the external restraint makes the possibility of thermal cracking higher. However, in the case of the large values of L/H and Er, the crack index at center is smaller than at surface due to the effect of external restraint. Thus, the initial location of the thermal crack is shifted from the surface to the center and the resulting crack is formed at later age.

이 연구에서는 수직으로 긴 매스 구조물에 적합한 파이프쿨링 공법을 제안하기 위하여 기존의 파이프쿨링 공법과는 달리 파이프를 수직으로 설치하는 연직파이프쿨링 공법을 개발하였다. 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 해석대상 부재의 형상($1{\times}3{\times}20m$, $4{\times}4{\times}4m$)을 대상으로 하여 FEM 해석을 수행하였으며, 온도 및 응력 변화와 온도균열 지수 등을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 매스콘크리트 구조물의 온도균열 제어에 효과가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, the automobile industry has been faced with very serious problems related to the very restricted regulations of exhaust gas emissions. Therefore many researchers have been attracted to the development of oxygenated fuel for a solution to these problems. This paper deals with the effects of oxygenated fuel on exhaust emissions. An experimental study was conducted to investigate PM and $NO_X$ emission using dimethyl carbonate as an oxygenated fuel in a naturally aspirated DI diesel engine. With increased oxygenated fuel amounts. there were significant reductions in PM, HC and CO emissions mainly from depressed thermal cracking. while little increase in $NO_X$ was encountered concurrently. The effective reduction in PM with oxygenated fuel was maintained with the presence of $CO_2$. which suggested low $NO_X$ and PM obtained from the combination of using oxygenated fuel and cooled EGR. Thermal cracking and an analysis of the heat release rate were also studied in the experiment.
