Improvement in the control strategy for continuous casting is a crucial requirement to enhance the slab's quality and to increase productivity. The mold oscillator adopts the dual cylinders due to its heavy weight, so the synchronized motion of two cylinders is an important aspect when precise control is needed. The conventional method uses the master-slave control applied to the valve input reference, but the synchronization performance should still be improved. This paper proposes a novel synchronization algorithm for dual cylinders used in a mold oscillator. The master-slave concept is applied to the target reference position, that is, the slave target reference position is controlled to match the slave cylinder's position with the master cylinder's position. In the simulation based on a Simulink model, the proposed algorithm shows a better synchronization performance in aspect of the mean of the absolute error and the peak synchronization error.

Several structural calamities in the second half of the 20th century have shown that adequate collapse-resistance cannot be achieved by designing the individual elements of a structure without taking their interconnectivity into consideration. It has long been acknowledged that membrane behaviour of reinforced concrete structures can significantly increase the robustness of a structure and delay a complete collapse. An experimental large-scale test was conducted on a horizontally restrained, continuous reinforced concrete slab exposed to an artificial failure of the central support and subsequent loading until collapse of the specimen. Within this investigation the development of catenary action associated with the formation of large displacements was observed to increase the ultimate load capacity of the specimen significantly. The development of displacements, strains and horizontal forces within this investigation confirmed a load transfer process from an elastic bending mechanism to a tension controlled catenary mechanism. In this contribution a special focus is directed towards strain and crack development at critical sections. The results of this contribution are of particular importance when validating numerical models related to the development of catenary action in concrete slabs.

Steel making in Mini Mill consists of three major processing stages: molten steel making in an electric arc fuenace, slab casting in a continuous caster, and hot rolling in a finishing mill. Each processing stage has its own lot grouping criterion. However, these criteria in three stages are conflicting with each other. Therefore, delveloping on efficient lot grouping algorithm to enhance the overall productivity of the Mini Mill is an extremely difficult task. The algorithm proposed in this paper is divided into three steps hierarchically: change grouping, cast grouping, and roll grouping. An efficient charge grouping heuristic is developed by exploiting the characteristics of the orders, the processing constraints and the requirements for the downstream stages. In order to maximaize the productivity of the continuous casters, each cast must contain as many charges as possible. Based on the constraint satisfaction problem technique, an efficient cast grouping heuristic is developed. Each roll consists of two casts satisfying the constraints for rolling. The roll grouping problem is formulated as a weighted non-bipartite matching problem, and an optimal roll grouping algorithm is developed. The proposed algorithm is programmed with C language and tested on a SUN Workstation with real data obtained from the H steel works. Through the computational experiment, the algorithm is verified to yield quite satisfactory solutions within a few minutes.

The application of relatively low volumes of fibres in normal strength concrete has been shown to be of significant benefit when applied to composite slabs with profiled sheet decking. This paper reports on an experimental study aimed at quantifying further potential benefits that may arise from applying ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete. To assess performance six simply supported beams were tested under hogging and sagging loading configurations along with three two span continuous beams. Fibre contents are varied from 0% to 2% and changes in strength, deformation, crack width and moment redistribution are measured. At the serviceability limit state, it is shown that the addition of high fibre volumes can significantly enhance member stiffness and reduce crack widths in all beams. At the ultimate limit state it is observed that a transition from 0% to 1% fibres significantly increases strength but that there is a maximum fibre volume beyond which no further increases in strength are possible. Conversely, member ductility and moment redistribution are shown to be strongly proportional to fibre volume.

본 연구에서는 중금속으로 오염된 토양이나 자갈을 댐 축조 재료로 사용할 경우 주변 환경에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 댐 침투수와 오염물 거동에 대한 수치 모의를 실시하였다 두 가지 상용 프로그램(SEEP2D 와 FEMWATER)을 이용하여 침투수 분석을 수행하였으며, 결과를 상호 비교 분석함으로써 수치 모의의 신뢰성을 획득하였다. 특히 오염된 댐 축조재료로 인한 환경적 안정성을 검토하기 위하여 세 가지 시나리오, 즉 댐체에 균열이 없는 경우(시나리오 1), 댐의 차수벽 역할을 하는 표면 콘크리트 슬래브 상부에 균열이 발생하는 경우(시나리오 2), 댐체 하부 즉 프린스와 콘크리트 슬래브와 접촉부에 균열이 발생하는 경우(시나리오 3)에 대하여 각각 수치 모의를 실시하였다. 침투수 해석 결과, 슬래브 상부에 균열이 있는 경우, 즉 시나리오 2에서 계산된 단위폭당 침투수량은 $14.311\sim14.924m^3/day$으로 다른 경우에 비해 약 1,000배 큰 값을 보였다. 또한 FEMWATER프로그램을 사용하여 오염물 거동을 수치모의하였다. 오염물질이 지속적으로 침출되어 나오는 상황을 고려하여 주축조구역은 농도 13ppb가 지속적으로 유지되도록 초기조건을 설정하였다. 오염물 거동분석 결과 시나리오 1에서 2ppb 정도의 오염물이 댐체 하류 부분에 도달하는데 걸리는 시간은 최소 55,000년이었으며, 시나리오 2의 경우 약 50년 정도, 마지막으로 시나리오 3의 경우 27,000년이였다. 댐체 상부에 균열이 발생한 경우는 댐에 균열이 발생하지 않은 경우보다 약 500배 이상 빠른 유속이 나타나기 때문에 오염물도 균열이 발생하지 않은 경우에 비해 상당히 빠르게 퍼져나가는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 슬래브 상부에 균열이 발생한 경우 100년 이내에 댐체 하부천 2ppb 이상의 오염물이 전달될 가능성이 있음을 확인하였지만, 균열이 없거나 슬래브 하부에 균열이 발생한 경우에는 오염물이 외부로 이동될 가능성이 거의 없었다. 따라서 콘크리트 슬래브에 대한 지속적인 유지 관리로 균열 발생을 적절히 제어할 수 있다면, 본 연구에서 제안한 오염된 사력재의 CFRD 내부 축조재료로의 활용은 고려 가능한 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근에 이동객체의 위치정보를 활용한 위치기반서비스(L8S, Location Based Services)에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 전통적으로 정적인 위치정보를 갖는 공간 객체는 GIS(Geographic Information System) 서버에 저장, 관리되었다. 이동객체는 시간에 따라 위치의 변화가 매우 빈번하여 위치 정보가 계속 갱신되기 때문에, 전통적인 GIS 서버로는 관리가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 연속적인 최근접 이웃탐색 기법에서 데이터의 처리 순서에 따라 탐색공간과 계산비용이 증가하는 문제점을 슬랩을 사용하여 해결한다. 최근접 이웃의 수직연장선 사이의 공간인 슬랩 내부영역에 대해서만 탐색하도록 하여 탐색영역을 줄이고, 그 내부에 있는 점들에 대해서만 처리하여 계산비용을 줄인다.

Flat plate is susceptible to punching shear failure at the slab-column connection, which may cause catastrophic structural collapse. To prevent such brittle failure, strength and ductility of the connection should be ensured. However, since it is very difficult to experimentally simulate the actual load and boundary conditions of the flat plate system, it is not easy to obtain reliable information and data regarding to the strength and ductility of the flat plate-column edge connection. In the present study, numerical studies were performed for edge connections of continuous flat plate. The results were compared with the existing experiments, and the variations of bending moment, drift, effective width around the connection were investigated. Based on tile findings of the numerical studies, the disadvantages of current design methods were discussed.

A typical case where the effects of prying in the base angle type anchorage system with expansion bolt. This connection consists of an angle which is attathed to an equipment cabinet and bolted to a concrete slab via an expantion bolt. A seismic analysis of the cabinet may indicate a vertical load, P, transferred to the vertical leg of the angle due to overturning of the cabinet. Due to the eccentricity, b(e), and the continuous beam action in the base member, the load resisted by the bolt will be amplified by a factor λ. Thus, in this study, experimental evaluation of the anchorage system is executed.

The effect of initial orientation on the microstructure and texture evolution of two ferritic stainless steels was investigated. the columnar and equiaxed crystal specimens which were prepared from continuous casting slab were hot rolled annealed cold rolled and annealed respectively. The rolling and recrystallization textures at each process stage were examined by orientation distribution function (ODF) and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD); The observation showed that the orientation density of the $\alpha$-fibre of hot rolled band of columnar crystal specimen was more pronounced than that of the equaxed one at the center layer. Nevertheless the cold rolled textures of Type 430 steel have demonstrated a rather similar development . Compared to Type 430 steel the development of the $\alpha$-fibre in the center layer of Type 409L steel was much more pronounced. The relation between texture evolution and ridging behaviour has been discussed.
