(2, 4-difluoro-phenyl)-(2-phenyl-1H-quinolin-4-ylidene)-amine의 전기화학적 환원에 대하여 실온에서 순환전압전류 기술을 사용한 유리탄소전극(GCE)에서 N,N-dimethylformamide 하에서 0.1 M tetrabutylammoniumbromide로 조사하였다. 이민의 환원은 각각 한 전자를 포함하면서 2단계의 성공적인 단계로 일어난다. 이 매개물에서 처음 피크는 유리탄소전극 표면에서 약 -0.793 V(vs Ag/$Ag^+$)로 관측되었다. 그리고 그것은 더욱 안정하고 2번째 피크와 비교하여 명확하게 설명된다. 연구된 용매 매개물에서 이민의 확산계수($D_0$)는 수정된 Randles-Sevcik 식을 이용해 계산되었다. 반응 종들의 전자 이동 계수($\alpha$) 또한 계산되었다.

Post-earthquake fire is a common disaster which causes serious safety issues to infrastructures. This study aims to investigate the residual loading capacities of circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns under post-earthquake fire experimentally and numerically. The experimental programme contains two loading steps - pre-damage cyclic loading at room temperature and transient state tests with constant compression loads. Three finite element models are developed and validated against the test results. Upon validation, a total of 48 numerical results were generated in the parametric study to investigate the effects of thickness and strengths of steel tube, axial compression ratio and damage degree on the fire resistance of circular CFST columns. Based on the analysis on experimental and numerical results, the loading mechanism of circular CFST columns is discussed. A design method is proposed for the prediction of fire resistance time under different seismic pre-damage and compression loads. The predictions by the new method is compared with the newly generated experimental and numerical results and is found to be accurate and consistent with the mean value close to the unity and a coefficient of variation around 1%.

In the present work, a new global damage index is proposed for the seismic performance and failure analysis of concrete gravity dams. Unlike the existing indices of concrete structures, this index doesn't need scaling with an ultimate or an upper value. For this purpose, the Beni-Haroun dam in north-eastern Algeria, is considered as a case study, for which an average seismic capacity curve is first evaluated by performing several incremental dynamic analyses. The seismic performance point of the dam is then determined using the N2 method, considering multiple modes and taking into account the stiffness degradation. The seismic demand is obtained from the design spectrum of the Algerian seismic regulations. A series of recorded and artificial accelerograms are used as dynamic loads to evaluate the nonlinear responses of the dam. The nonlinear behaviour of the concrete mass is modelled by using continuum damage mechanics, where material damage is represented by a scalar field damage variable. This modelling, which is suitable for cyclic loading, uses only a single damage parameter to describe the stiffness degradation of the concrete. The hydrodynamic and the sediment pressures are included in the analyses. The obtained results show that the proposed damage index faithfully describes the successive brittle failures of the dam which increase with increasing applied ground accelerations. It is found that minor damage can occur for ground accelerations less than 0.3 g, and complete failure can be caused by accelerations greater than 0.45 g.

The antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine sulphate (HCQ) has taken much attention during the first COVID-19 pandemic phase for the treatment of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) patients. Hence it is interest to study the electrochemical properties and photocatalytic degradation of the HCQ drug. Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, graphene oxide (GO) and CuO/GO NC (nanocomposite) modified carbon paste electrodes (MCPE) are used for the detection of HCQ in an aqueous medium. Electrochemical behaviour of HCQ (20 μM) was observed using CuO/MCPE, GO/MCPE and CuO/GO NC/MCPE in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7 with a scan rate of 20 to 120 mV s^-1 by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) of HCQ was performed for 0.6 to 16 μM HCQ. The CuO/GO NC/MCPE showed a reasonably good sensitivity of 0.33 to 0.44 μA μM cm^-2 with LOD of 69 to 92 nM for HCQ. Furthermore, the CuO/GO NC was used as a catalyst for the photodegradation of HCQ by monitoring its UV-Vis absorption spectra. About 98% was degraded in about 34 min under visible light and after 4 cycles it was 87%. The improved photocatalytic activity may be attributed to decrease in bandgap energy and enhanced ability for the electrons to migrate. Thus, CuO/GO NC showed good results for both sensing and degradation applications as well as reproducibility.

This paper presents investigation into the behavior of beam-column joints, with the joint region concrete being replaced by steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and by ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). A total of ten beam-column joint specimens (BCJ) were tested experimentally to failure under monotonic and cyclic loading, with the beam section being subjected to flexural loading and the column to combined flexural and axial loading. The joint region essentially transferred shear and axial stresses as received from the column. Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) were used as an innovative construction and/or strengthening scheme for some of the BCJ specimens. The reinforced concrete specimens were reinforced with longitudinal steel rebar, 18 mm, and some specimens were reinforced with an additional two ties in the joint region. The results showed that using SFRC and UHPC as a replacement concrete for the BCJ improved the joint shear strength and the load carrying capacity of the hybrid specimens. The mode of failure was also converted from a non-desirable joint shear failure to a preferred beam flexural failure. The effect of the ties in the SFRC and UHPC joint regions could not be observed due to the beam flexural failure. Several models were used in estimating the joint shear strength for different BCJ specimens. The results showed that the existing models yielded wide-ranging values. A new concept to take into account the influence of column axial load on the shear strength of beam-column joints is also presented, which demonstrates that the recommended values for concrete tensile strength for determination of joint shear strength need to be amended for joints subject to moderate to high axial loads. Furthermore, finite element model (FEM) simulation to predict the behaviour of the hybrid BCJ specimens was also carried out in an ABAQUS environment. The result of the FEM modelling showed good agreement with experimental results.

1989년 로마프리타지진 및 1995년 효고현 남부지진등 많은 교각에서 휨-전단 파괴에 의한 피해가 발생하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지금까지의 교각의 내진성능에 관한 연구는 대부분 휨파괴에 대한 연구가 지배적이었다. RC 교각의 내진성능은 교각의 소성힌지구간의 성능에 좌우되고 있으며, 소성힌지의 연성은 곡률에 의해 평가하는 것이 바람직하다. 실험연구는 지진하중의 손상을 입은 RC교각의 휨전단거동에 관한 소성힌지구간 내의 곡률변화를 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 7기의 실험체는 형상비 2.5에 횡방향 구속력, 주철근의 겹침이음 그리고 섬유보강을 변수로 가지고 있다. 이 실험체는 유사동적실험 수행을 통해 손상을 주었으며, 유사동적실험 후에는 일정한 축력,$P=0.1f_{ck}A_g$을 유지하면서 변위제어방식으로 유사정적실험을 실시하여 잔류내진성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 기초에서 15cm 구간에 가장 큰 곡률이 발생하였으며 파괴도 이 단면에 집중되었다. 또한, 연성도 분석결과 주철근이 겹침이음 된 RC 교각이 낮은 곡률연성도를 보였으며, 이를 섬유보강한 실험체의 휨강성과 곡률연성도는 현저히 개선되었다. 그리고, 교각의 곡률변화를 분석하여 횡구속력을 고려한 등가소성힌지길이 산정식을 제안하였으며, 이 제안된 식을 적용하여 변위연성도와 곡률연성도 관계를 분석하였다.
