Innovative prestressed steel plate girders were presented in this study. Hot-rolled H beams were loaded first, then relatively high-strengthsteel plates were welded on the top and bottom flanges of preloaded H beams. Finally, high prestressed plate (HiPP) girder was manufactured by simply releasing prestresses of rolled beams. To verify prestress distributions induced in this girder, the experimental study was conducted and some guidelines to manufacture these girders effectively were addressed. In addition, methods to determine the allowable bending stress of HiPP girders and to check welding stresses were addressed for design of temporary bridges. The efficiency and effectiveness of the present girder were demonstrated through design examples of temporary bridges adapting the prestress-induced girder or the plate girder of the same section without prestresses. As a result, it has been found to be possible that the span length of HiPP girders for temporary bridges is longer than that of girders without prestresses.

Welded built-up square tubes are manufactured by flare welding at the center of the column width for cold-formed L-shaped four-piece plates and improved composite effect of concrete and steel by vertical inner anchor. Also, the axial resistance of concrete is increased by the thinness of the steel column, and the composite effect of concrete and steel prevents the steel column from local buckling. In this study, we introduced a manufacturing method of built-up square column steel square concrete-filled tubular column with vertical inner anchor and superior structural performance of the square stub column verified by the structural test for 15 specimens with parameters of shape of tube (built-up square tube, general steel tube), width over thickness of the steel tube (B/t=50, 58, 67) and the strength of concrete (f'c=10MPa, 50MPa).

To improve the pot life of one-part in-house anisotropic conductive paste (ACP) formulations, 2-methyl imidazole curing accelerator powders were encapsulated with five agents. Through measuring the melting point of the five agents using DSC, it was confirmed that a encapsulation process with liquid-state agents is possible. Viscosity of ACP formulations containing the encapsulated imidazole powders was measured as a function of storage time from viscosity measurements. As a result, pot life of the formulations containing imidazole powders encapsulated with stearic acid and carnauba wax was improved, and these formulations indicated similar curing behaviors to a basic formulation containing rare imidazole. However, the bondlines made of these formulations exhibited low average shear strength values of about 37% level in comparison with the basic formulation.

Stainless steel sheets are widely used as the structural material for dynamic machine structures, These kinds structures used stainless steel sheets are commonly fabricated by using the gas welding, For fatigue design of gas welded joints such as various type joint. It is necessary to obtain design information on stress distribution at the weldment as well as fatigue strength of gas welded joints. Thus in this paper, ${\Delta}P-N_f$ curves were obtained by fatigue tests. and, ${\Delta}P-N_f$ curves were rearranged in the ${\Delta}{\sigma}-N_f$ relation with the hot spot stresses at the gas welded joints. Using these results, the accelerated life test(ALT) is conducted. From the experiment results, an life prediction model is derived and factors are estimated. So it is intended to obtain the useful information for the fatigue lifetime of welded joints and data analysis by statistic reliability method, to save time and cost, and to develop optimum accelerated life prediction plans.

When a welded circular hollow section (CHS) tubular joint is subjected to brace axial loading, failure position is located usually at the weld toe on the chord surface due to the weak flexural stiffness of the thin-walled chord. The failure mode is local yielding or buckling in most cases for a tubular joint subjected to axial load at the brace end. Especially when a cyclic axial load is applied, fracture failure at the weld toe may occur because both high stress concentration and welding residual stress along the brace/chord intersection cause the material in this region to become brittle. To improve the ductility as well as to increase the static strength, a tubular joint can be reinforced by increasing the chord thickness locally near the brace/chord intersection. Both experimental investigation and finite element analysis have been carried out to study the hysteretic behaviour of the reinforced tubular joint. In the experimental study, the hysteretic performance of two full-scale circular tubular T-joints subjected to cyclic load in the axial direction of the brace was investigated. The two specimens include a reinforced specimen by increasing the wall thickness of the chord locally at the brace/chord intersection and a corresponding un-reinforced specimen. The hysteretic loops are obtained from the measured load-displacement curves. Based on the hysteretic curves, it is found that the reinforced specimen is more ductile than the un-reinforced one because no fracture failure is observed after experiencing similar loading cycles. The area enclosed by the hysteretic curves of the reinforced specimen is much bigger, which shows that more energy can be dissipated by the reinforced specimen to indicate the advantage of the reinforcing method in resisting seismic action. Additionally, finite element analysis is carried out to study the effect of the thickness and the length of the reinforced chord segment on the hysteretic behaviour of CHS tubular T-joints. The optimized reinforcing method is recommended for design purposes.

In this study, three kinds of steels are manufactured by varying the rolling conditions, and their microstructures are analyzed. Tensile and Charpy impact tests are performed at room temperature to investigate the correlation between microstructure and mechanical properties. In addition, heat affected zone(HAZ) specimens are fabricated through the simulation of the welding process, and the HAZ microstructure is analyzed. The Charpy impact test of the HAZ specimens is performed at $-40^{\circ}C$ to investigate the low temperature HAZ toughness. The main microstructures of steels are quasi-polygonal ferrite and pearlite with fine grains. Because coarse granular bainite forms with an increasing finish rolling temperature, the strength decreases and elongation increases. In the steel with the lowest reduction ratio, coarse granular bainite forms. In the HAZ specimens, fine acicular ferrites are the main features of the microstructure. The volume fraction of coarse bainitic ferrite and granular bainite increases with an increasing finish rolling temperature. The Charpy impact energy at $-40^{\circ}C$ decreases with an increasing volume fraction of bainitic ferrite and granular bainite. In the HAZ specimen with the lowest reduction ratio, coarse bainitic ferrite and granular bainite forms and the Charpy impact energy at $-40^{\circ}C$ is the lowest.

Fire resistance steel, grading 490 MPa, had developed by using Thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP) and it has better performance at welding, seismic resistance than those of the ordinary structural steel, But the fire resistance performance is required to verify against the ordinary fire resistance, FR 490. Therefore this study was done to make database of mechanical properties at high temperature and to evaluate the structural stability at high temperature in terms of materials and structural member such as H-section from that of FR 490. The result of this study was that the structural stability of TMCP was lower than that of ordinary FR 490 at the range up about $700^{\circ}C$.

Results of the analysis of the structural behavior of axially loaded nodes in freeform structure were not fully understood due to certain difficulties, including the application of various welding and bolting types. In this study, a node of single layered freeform structure was tested to determine its structural behavior when subjected to axial loads. The tests were classified into node ball tests to evaluate the center of the node subjected to cyclic and monotonic loading. The node part tests were also conducted to evaluate the whole node subjected to monotonic loading. The test showed that the node ball is safe with the tensile force, but the node ball needs to increase its strength with the node loaded compressive force due to the additional bending moment of the node ball's asymmetric form.

Steel-concrete composite beam has been used for a considerable time in building construction. An essential component of a composite beam is the shear connection between the steel section and the concrete slabs, which is provided by mechanical shear connectors. A variety of shapes and devices have been in use as shear connectors. This study summarizes the results of an experimental investigation involving the testing of push-out specimens with angle shear connectors. All of 22 push-out specimens were designed to study the effect of a number of parameters on the shear capacity of angle shear connectors such as the height of the angle connector, the length of welding, and the pitch of angles. Based on the test results, a design equation was developed for predicting the shear strength of angle shear connectors.

초경합금은 경도가 높은 재료를 말하며 일반적으로는 탄화텅스텐(WC)계 재료를 말한다. 국내 현재 초경합금 동향은 반도체 산업, 내마모성 공구, 절삭공구, 금형 등 많은 분야에 사용되어지고 있다. 또한 최근 들어 FSW (Friction Stir Welding, FSW)기술이 발전함에 따라 접합기술개발이 다양화되면서 FSW Tool의 고성능의 초경 재료가 요구되어지며 장수명의 Tool개발이 되어야 한다. 국내에서는 초경 합금 재료로 사용되어지고 있는 텅스텐 카바이드(WC)와 코발트(Co)를 이용하여 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 본 실험에서는 텅스텐 카바이드와 코발트 및 몰르브덴 카바이드를 혼합하여 소결체를 제조하였다. 실험에 사용된 텅스텐 카바이드는 높은 경도를 가지고 강한 취성을 나타내며, 소결에 어려운 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 코발트와 몰리브덴 카바이드를 첨가하여 소결온도를 낮춰주는 역할과 액상 소결시 텅스텐카바이드 입자사이에 침투하여 액상소결에 의한 치밀화가 가능하게 해주며 인성이 향상되어 고인성 재료를 만들 수 있었다. 본 실험에서는 합성과 치밀화가 동시에 진행되는 SPS (Spark Plasma Sintering:SPS) 장비를 이용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 이 방법은 방전플라즈마 소결 공법으로, 기존의 연소법과 열간 가압기술(Hot-press, HIP)을 결합한 방식으로 단 시간, 단일공정으로 치밀한 소결체를 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 $WC-5Mo_2C$-5wt%Co 소결체 제조를 위해 원소 분말을 Horizontal ball milling 혼합하였다. 균일하게 혼합된 분말을 흑연다이에 충진하여 펄스전류와 기계적 압력을 동시에 가하여 $WC-5Mo_2C-5Co$ 복합재료를 제조하고 소결체의 밀도, 순도, 상변태, 미세조직 등을 분석 및 평가하였다. SPS공정 조건은 고진공하에서 $1,200^{\circ}C$-60MPa, 펄스비 12:1 조건으로 수행하였으며, 얻어진 $WC-5Mo_2C-5Co$ 소결체의 상대 밀도는 98%이상 이였다. 또한, 결정립 크기는 약 400 nm였으며, 경도는 $2,453kg/mm^2$를 나타내었다.
