Objective: The influence of broiler carcass scalding conditions on chicken breast meat quality parameters was investigated. Methods: Two hundred and seventy Cobb broiler chickens from 42 to 48 days old were slaughtered according to the standard industry practice and scalded in five temperature/time combinations-$T_1$, $54^{\circ}C/210s$; $T_2$, $55^{\circ}C/180s$; $T_3$, $56^{\circ}C/150s$; $T_4$, $57^{\circ}C/120s$; $T_5$, $58^{\circ}C/90s$. Results: Scalding temperature increase resulted in higher values of external and ventral lightness and in protein functionality reduction-determined by emulsification capacity and protein denaturation-in chicken breast fillets 24 h post-mortem. Protein secondary structures had conformational changes, with a decrease of the ${\alpha}$-helix and an increase of the ${\beta}$-sheet and ${\beta}$-turn proportions, mainly in $T_1$ and $T_5$ samples, determined by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy in an attenuated reflectance mode analysis. The chemical composition, pH, water holding capacity and Warner-Bratzler shear force did not differ among the treatments. In the fatty acid profile, the 18:1n-9 was lower in $T_5$, which suggested that the high scalding-temperature could have caused the lipid oxidation. The values of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as 22:2, 20:4n-6, and 22:6n-3, were highest in the $T_5$, thus being related to the phospholipid cellular membrane collapse in this experimental condition and subsequent release of these PUFA. Conclusion: Intermediate scalding-parameters avoided the negative changes in the chicken meat quality.

A set of slurry shield test system capable of cutter cutting and slurry automatic circulation is used to investigate the deformation characteristics, the evolution characteristics of support resistance and the distribution and evolution process of earth pressure during excavating and collapsing of slurry shield tunneling in circular-gravel layer. The influence of cover-span ratio on surface subsidence, support resistance and failure mode of excavation face is also discussed. Three-dimensional numerical calculations are performed to verify the reliability of the test results. The results show that, with the decrease of the supporting force of the excavation face, the surface subsidence goes through four stages: insensitivity, slow growth, rapid growth and stability. The influence of shield excavation on the axial earth pressure of the front soil is greater than that of the vertical earth pressure. When the support resistance of the excavation face decreases to the critical value, the soil in front of the excavation face collapses. The shape of the collapse is similar to that of a bucket. The ultimate support resistance increase with the increase of the cover-span ratio, however, the angle between the bottom of the collapsed body and the direction of the tunnel excavation axis when the excavation face is damaged increase first and then becomes stable. The surface settlement value and the range of settlement trough decrease with the increase of cover-span ratio. The numerical results are basically consistent with the model test results.

Performance-based reliability analysis is a practical approach to investigate the seismic performance and stochastic nonlinear response of structures considering a random process. This is significant due to the uncertainties involved in every aspect of the analysis. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the performance-based reliability within a stochastic finite element (FE) framework for reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls that are considered as one of the most essential elements of structures. To accomplish this purpose, deterministic FE analyses are conducted for both squat and slender shear walls to validate numerical models through experimental results. The presented numerical analysis is performed by using the ABAQUS FE program. Afterwards, a random-effects investigation is carried out to consider the influence of different random variables on the lateral load-top displacement behavior of RC members. Using these results and through utilizing the Monte-Carlo simulation method, stochastic nonlinear analyses are also performed to generate random FE models based on input parameters and their probabilistic distributions. In order to evaluate the reliability of RC walls, failure probabilities and corresponding reliability indices are calculated at life safety and collapse prevention levels of performance as suggested by FEMA 356. Moreover, based on reliability indices, capacity reduction factors are determined subjected to shear for all specimens that are designed according to the ACI 318 Building Code. Obtained results show that the lateral load and the compressive strength of concrete have the highest effects on load-displacement responses compared to those of other random variables. It is also found that the probability of shear failure for the squat wall is slightly lower than that for slender walls. This implies that 𝛽 values are higher in a non-ductile mode of failure. Besides, the reliability of both squat and slender shear walls does not change significantly in the case of varying capacity reduction factors.

Steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) L-shaped column is the vertical load-bearing member with high spatial adaptability. The seismic behavior of SRC L-shaped column is complex because of their irregular cross sections. In this study, the hysteretic performance of six steel truss reinforced concrete L-shaped columns specimens under the combined loading of compression, bending, shear, and torsion was tested. There were two parameters, i.e., the moment ratio of torsion to bending (γ) and the aspect ratio (column length-to-depth ratio (φ)). The failure process, torsion-displacement hysteresis curves, and bending-displacement hysteresis curves of specimens were obtained, and the failure patterns, hysteresis curves, rigidity degradation, ductility, and energy dissipation were analyzed. The experimental research indicates that the failure mode of the specimen changes from bending failure to bending-shear failure and finally bending-torsion failure with the increase of γ. The torsion-displacement hysteresis curves were pinched in the middle, formed a slip platform, and the phenomenon of "load drop" occurred after the peak load. The bending-displacement hysteresis curves were plump, which shows that the bending capacity of the specimen is better than torsion capacity. The results show that the steel truss reinforced concrete L-shaped columns have good collapse resistance, and the ultimate interstory drift ratio more than that of the Chinese Code of Seismic Design of Building (GB50011-2014), which is sufficient. The average value of displacement ductility coefficient is larger than rotation angle ductility coefficient, indicating that the specimen has a better bending deformation resistance. The specimen that has a more regular section with a small φ has better potential to bear bending moment and torsion evenly and consume more energy under a combined action.

As a brittle failure mode, punching-shear failure can be widely found in traditional RC slab-column connections, which may lead to the entire collapse of a flat plate structure. In this paper, a novel RC slab-column connection with inner steel truss was proposed to enhance the punching strength. In the proposed connection, steel trusses, each of which was composed of four steel angles and a series of steel strips, were pre-assembled at the periphery of the column capital and behaved as transverse reinforcements. With the aim of exploring the punching behavior of this novel RC slab-column connection, a static punching test was conducted on two full-scaled RC slab specimens, and the crack patterns, failure modes, load-deflection and load-strain responses were thoroughly analyzed to explore the contribution of the applied inner steel trusses to the overall punching behavior. The test results indicated that all the test specimens suffered the typical punching-shear failure, and the higher punching strength and initial stiffness could be found in the specimen with inner steel trusses. The numerical models of tested specimens were analyzed in ABAQUS. These models were verified by comparing the results of the tests with the results of the analyzes, and subsequently the sensitivity of the punching capacity to different parameters was studied. Based on the test results, a modified critical shear crack theory, which could take the contribution of the steel trusses into account, was put forward to predict the punching strength of this novel RC slab-column connection, and the calculated results agreed well with the test results.

Cold-formed steel (CFS) is a popular choice for construction due to its low cost, durability, sustainability, resistance to high environmental and seismic pressures, and ease of installation. The beam-column connections in residential and medium-rise structures are formed using self-drilling screws that connect two CFS channel sections and a gusset plate. In order to increase the moment capacity of these CFS screwed beam-column connections, stiffeners are often placed on the web area of each single channel. However, there is limited literature on studying the effects of stiffeners on the moment capacity of CFS screwed beam-column connections. Hence, this paper proposes a new test approach for determining the moment capacity of CFS screwed beam-column couplings. This study describes an experimental test programme consisting of eight novel experimental tests. The effect of stiffeners, beam thickness, and gusset plate thickness on the structural behaviour of CFS screwed beam-column connections is investigated. Besides, nonlinear elasto-plastic finite element (FE) models were developed and validated against experimental test data. It found that there was reasonable agreement in terms of moment capacity and failure mode prediction. From the experimental and numerical investigation, it found that the increase in gusset plate or beam thickness and the use of stiffeners have no significant effect on the structural behaviour, moment capacity, or rotational capacity of joints exhibiting the same collapse behaviour; however, the capacity or energy absorption capacities have increased in joints whose failure behaviour varies with increasing thickness or using stiffeners. Besides, the thickness change has little impact on the initial stiffness.

한국 디자인사의 일반적 접근 경향은 한국의 정치, 경제, 사회적 측면에서 근대화 문제와 관련된 거대 담론에 주로 연구 초점을 맞추어 왔다. 근대화 논의에는, 그러나, 자본주의적 생산양식의 자장 안에서 전개되는 공적, 제도적, 권력적 근대화 외에 일상적인 삶의 양식으로 발현되는 사적, 개인적, 문화적 근대화라는 두 측면이 내재되어 있다. 특히, 현실사회주의의 실패 이후 후자의 관점이 역사학계를 비롯한 제 분야에서 새로운 대안으로 부각되고 있음에도 불구하고, 한국 디자인 역사 연구가들의 근대적 디자인 현상에 대한 역사 인식은 일상적 현실 안에 존재하는 ‘아래로부터의 역사’이기보다는 현실 밖에 담론의 차원으로 존재하는 ‘위로부터의 역사’인 경우가 많았다. 이와 같은 엘리트 중심의 역사인식 틀에 균형감을 부여하기 위해서는 보통 사람들의 자발적인 디자인 행위로 구현된 일상적 삶의 표상들을 연구대상으로 삼음으로써 한국 디자인의 역사를 일상 문화적인 시각을 통해 아래로부터 재구성하는 작업이 요구된다. 이 물음에 대한 한 가지 접근방법은 지순한 한국 어머니 상의 전형인 올해 87세의 양갑조 할머니가 일생동안 제작해 온 규방 공예품을 문화사적 시각으로 읽어내는 일이다. 한국 디자인사의 거시적 담론 속에 묻혀버린 민초들의 일사적인 삶의 구적들에 대한 역사적 반추 작업을 통해 작지만 다층적인 한국 디자인의 의미소들을 발굴해 냄으로써 문화사로서의 한국 디자인의 역사적 전망을 가늠해 보는 전기를 마련하고자 한다.

지그비 기반의 U헬스 시스템에서 가장 취약한 부분인 지그비 통신을 사용하는 무선 구간에서의 취약점을 분석하고 해당 취약점을 보완하기 위해 본 논문을 제안한다. 지그비에서 기존에 제기되었던 취약점들 이외에 본 논문에서는 지그비 통신에서 사용하는 64bit의 고유식별주소를 노출하는 것 자체를 취약점으로 규정하고 고유식별주소의 노출을 막기 위해 임시식별주소를 사용하였다. 제안 시스템은 지그비 보안 서비스 중에서 암호화를 위해 하나의 네트워크 키만을 사용하는 레지덴셜 모드의 메커니즘을 사용한다. 레지덴셜 모드는 전체 네트워크의 모든 노드들이 하나의 공통키를 사용하기 때문에 키가 유출될 경우 지그비 네트워크의 보안체계가 한 번에 무너질 위험성이 있다. 그러므로 이러한 위험에 대비하기 위해 네트워크 키를 보안 정책에 따라서 주기적으로 갱신하는 방식을 사용했다. 본 제안 시스템의 평가와 비교 분석에서는 기존 시스템에서 노출되었던 고유식별주소를 숨길 수 있고, 공용 네트워크 키 또한 주기적으로 갱신하므로 키 유출로 인해 발생할 수 있는 위험성을 감소시켰다.

Developments in the understanding of fire behaviour for large open-plan spaces typical of tall buildings have been greatly outpaced by the rate at which these buildings are being constructed and their characteristics changed. Numerous high-profile fire-induced failures have highlighted the inadequacy of existing tools and standards for fire engineering when applied to highly-optimised modern tall buildings. With the continued increase in height and complexity of tall buildings, the risk to the occupants from fire-induced structural collapse increases, thus understanding the performance of complex structural systems under fire exposure is imperative. Therefore, an accurate representation of the design fire for open-plan compartments is required for the purposes of design. This will allow for knowledge-driven, quantifiable factors of safety to be used in the design of highly optimised modern tall buildings. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art experimental research on large open-plan compartment fires from the past three decades. We have assimilated results collected from 37 large-scale compartment fire experiments of the open-plan type conducted from 1993 to 2019, covering a range of compartment and fuel characteristics. Spatial and temporal distributions of the heat fluxes imposed on compartment ceilings are estimated from the data. The complexity of the compartment fire dynamics is highlighted by the large differences in the data collected, which currently complicates the development of engineering tools based on physical models. Despite the large variability, this analysis shows that the orders of magnitude of the thermal exposure are defined by the ratio of flame spread and burnout front velocities (V_S / V_BO), which enables the grouping of open-plan compartment fires into three distinct modes of fire spread. Each mode is found to exhibit a characteristic order of magnitude and temporal distribution of thermal exposure. The results show that the magnitude of the thermal exposure for each mode are not consistent with existing performance-based design models, nevertheless, our analysis offers a new pathway for defining thermal exposure from realistic fire scenarios in large open-plan compartments.

본 논문에서는 복합재료 튜브를 이용한 고속 열차의 에너지 흡수장치에 대한 실험 및 수치 해석에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 논문의 목적은 에너지 흡수장치에 대한 최적의 적층(lay-up) 형태를 알아내는 것으로, quasi static method를 이용한 네 가지 적층 형태에 대한 실험을 수행 하였다: $[0/45/90/-45]_4$, $[0]_{16}$, $[0/90]_8$, $[0/30/-30]_5$, 실험을 위해 초기 파괴 시작점을 생성하고, 일정 방향으로 진행되는 파괴를 만들기 위해 베벨 엣지(bevel edge)와 노치 엣지(notch edge)의 두 가지 트리거링 방법을 이용하였다. 저속 충돌실험 결과 $[0/45/90/-45]_4$의 적층 형태가 다른 방법과 비교해서 가장 좋은 에너지 흡수 결과를 보여주였다. 수치해석을 위해 LS-DYNA 프로그램의 변수 분석(parametric analysis)을 통해 가장 적합한 복합재료의 quasi static 실험 시뮬레이션 방법 연구를 수행하였다. 움직이는 벽이 복합재 튜브에 저속 충돌하는 모델을 가정하여 해석을 수행하였으며, 실험값과 수치해석 결과의 비교를 통해 비슷한 경향을 보임을 확인 하였다. 특히 TFAIL과 mass scaling factor를 조절하며 수행하는 변수 분석은 LS-DYNA에서 복합재 튜브의 quasi static 실험을 시뮬레이션 하는 능력과 한계를 보여준다.
