PURPOSES : The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of thermoelectric technology to concrete structures for harvesting solar energy that would otherwise be wasted. In various fields of research, thermoelectric technology using a thermoelectric module is being investigated for utilizing solar energy. METHODS: In our experiment, a halogen lamp was used to produce heat energy instead of the solar heat. A data logger was used to record the generated voltage over time from the thermoelectric module mounted on a concrete specimen. In order to increase the efficiency of energy harvesting, various factors such as color, architecture, and the ability to prevent heat absorption by the concrete surface were investigated for the placement of the thermoelectric module. RESULTS : The thermoelectric module produced a voltage using the temperature difference between the lower and upper sides of the module. When the concrete specimen was coated with an aluminum foil, a high electric power was measured. In addition, for the power generated at low temperatures, it was confirmed that the voltage was generated steadily. CONCLUSIONS: Thermoelectric technology for energy harvesting can be applied to concrete structures for generating electric power. The generated electricity can be used to power sensors used in structure monitoring in the future.

The post-processing modules are parts of an integrated system for reinforced concrete structures. This modules are composed of two modules: member design module and calculation report module. The purpose of this paper is to develope modules that increase efficiency and usefulness of an integrated system used reinforced concrete structures design. The development of post-processing modules is necessary for user to design reinforced concrete structures conveniently and quickly. This modules are connected with central database for the benefit of storing amount of input/output data and being used system with little effort. Post-processing modules used Object-Oriented concepts and techniques include identity, classification, polymorphism, and inheritance. Member design module automatically converts no good members into satisfied members by changing section size or reinforcement bar arrangement. This module can be operated both independent member design modules with user input and a part of integrated system with database input. If user operates member design module, calculation report module is created automatically.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the practical application of high-flowing concrete for a steel-concrete panel (SCP) module for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank. We evaluated the physical properties and filling performance of the developed concrete for the SCP module. First, slump tests were performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed standards for the filling tests. All the concrete mixes showed satisfactory performance. Based on the results of the previous study, the reliability of the required time measured using the T₅₀₀ test and the rheometer results measured before and after pumping was 0.94, indicating that segregation and blocking should not occur. L-box and U-box tests were conducted before and after pumping. All the recommended standards showed satisfactory performance. The SCP structural module for LNG storage tanks was fabricated to a full scale to evaluate its practical application at the final site. Satisfactory filling performance was confirmed for all the specimens.

Modularization in a high-rise building is different from a small building, as it is exposed to more lateral forces like wind and earthquakes. The integrity, robustness, and overall stability of the modules and their performance is based on the joining techniques and strong structural systems. High lateral stiff construction structures like concrete shear walls and frames, braced steel frames, and steel moment frames are used for the stability of high-rise modular buildings. Similarly, high-rise stick-built buildings have concrete cores and perimeter frames for lateral load strength and stiffness. Methods for general steel-concrete connections are available in many works of literature. However, there are few modular-related papers describing this connection system in modular buildings. This paper aims to review the various research and practice adopted for steel-to-concrete connections in construction and compare the methods between stick-built buildings and modular buildings. The literature review shows that the practice of steel module-to-concrete core connection in high-rise modular buildings is like outrigger beams-to-concrete core connection in stick-built framed buildings. This paper concludes that further studies are needed in developing proper guidelines for a steel module-to-concrete core connection system in high-rise modular buildings.

The purpose of this study is to develop precast concrete modules that can be used as a booth and a single-story building with a large space. This precast concrete module is originally designed to have a hexagonal facade when the upper and lower parts, which are symmetrical about horizontal connection line, are combined. A structural design was conducted to ensure structural safety of these precast concrete modules and to extend the slope of the inclined members as far as possible. Then the finite element analysis was performed to estimate the lateral and vertical deflection of complete precast concrete modular structures. And to verify the structural safety of these precast concrete modules, weight loading tests were conducted on the upper and lower modules respectively.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the practical application of the self consolidating concrete for the steel concrete pannel (SCP) in module LNG storage tank proposed in the previous research. We evaluated the physical properties and filling performance of developed concrete for the SCP module. First, a slump flow test was conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed guidelines for the filling test. As a result, all of the concrete used showed satisfactory performance. Based on the results of the previous study, it was found that the reliability of the required time measured by the $T_{500}$ test and the rheometer results measured before and after pumping was 0.94 which means the separation and blocking should not occur. The L-box test and the U-box test were conducted before and after pumping. All of the guidelines suggested showed satisfactory performance. SCP module for LNG storage tanks was fabricated on actual size scale to evaluate the practical application at the final site. As a result, it was confirmed that satisfactory filling performance was obtained in all the specimens.

프리캐스트 콘크리트 모듈 단위로 시공되는 플로팅 구조물의 거동은 콘크리트 모듈 접합부의 거동과 밀접한 연관성을 갖는다. 극한하중조건에서의 플로팅 구조물의 구조적 거동을 정확히 예측하기 위해서 모듈 접합부의 구조거동 실험연구를 수행하였다. 모듈 접합부 전단키의 전단거동, 전단강도 및 균열 패턴을 파악하였다. 실험결과는 전단키의 경사각도가 증가함에 따라 전단강도가 증가하는 것을 나타낸다. 또한, 구속응력이 증가함에 따라 전단키의 전단강도가 증가한다. 실험결과와 AASHTO 제안식에 의한 예측값을 비교하였으며, AASHTO 제안식은 실험값을 과소평가하고 있다.

A Green Frame is a composite Rahmen precast concrete structure that utilizes the advantages of the steel frame and the reinforced concrete. Compared to bearing wall structure, the precast concrete structure may raise construction cost If the precast concrete members are produced in plant. Thus, if the precast concrete members can be produced in site, the cost-effectiveness and quality shall be increased. Various site conditions must be considered and reviewed to ensure a space for the in-situ production. Therefore, this study focuses on the basic study on the arrangement of in-situ production module of composite precast concrete members.

최근 사용재료의 품질과 설계기법의 향상으로 철근콘크리트 고층구조물에 대한 시공이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 경우에 시간의존적 비탄성변형을 무시하고 있다. 특히 시공단계에서 발생하는 초기변형은 장기적으로 구조물에 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 또한, 고층구조물에서 발생하는 부등축소는 탄성변형, 크리프, 건조수축 등이 조합되어 일어나기 때문에 고층구조물의 부등축소를 예측하고 실제 현장에서 보정하기 위해서는 장기거동에 대한 해석이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 동바리의 설치/제거를 포함한 실제적인 시공과정을 반영할 수 있는 2차원 골조해석 시스템을 개발하였다. 해석 시스템은 데이터베이스 설계기법과 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(graphic user interface) 환경에서 개발되었으며, Input module, DB Strore module, Database module, Analytical module, Analysis result generation module로 크게 구성되어 있다. 해석 시스템은 시공단계별로 해석을 반복해석을 수행함으로써 발생하는 수많은 데이터와 정보를 데이터베이스 설계를 통해 효율적인 시스템 관리를 한다. Graphic user interface(GUI) 환경의 지원에 의해 사용자가 데이터의 입력, 수정, 검색 작업을 쉽게 할 수 있으며 해석결과를 그래픽 다이어그램(graphic diagram), 테이블(table), 차트(chart) 등으로 확인할 수 있다. 개발된 시스템은 거푸집과 동바리의 설치 및 제거를 포함하는 일반적인 시공단계를 고려할 수 있으며 기둥의 부등축소량을 예측할 수 있으며, 각각의 시공단계별로 발생하는 기둥의 부등축소량을 실제 실무에서 보정할 수 있도록 지원한다.

이 연구에서는 전단하중을 받는 부유식 콘크리트 구조물 모듈 접합부의 구조거동 실험연구를 수행하였다. 모듈 접합부 전단키의 균열 양상, 전단거동 및 전단강도를 파악하였다. 전단강도의 영향을 파악하기 위해 전단키의 경사각도, 횡방향 구속응력 및 콘크리트의 압축강도 등을 실험변수로 고려하였다. 전단키의 경사각도가 증가함에 따라 접합부의 전단강도가 증가하였다. 또한, 구속응력이 증가함에 따라 전단키의 전단강도가 증가하였다. 실험변수에 따른 전단거동 실험결과를 토대로 접합부의 전단강도 평가식을 제안하였으며, 제안식에 의한 전단강도 예측값은 실험값에 근접하는 것으로 나타났다.
