In this paper, mode I fracture toughness of rock was determined by direct and indirect methods using Particle Flow Code simulation. Direct methods are compaction tension (CT) test and hollow centre cracked quadratic sample (HCCQS). Indirect methods are notched Brazilian disk (NBD) specimen, the semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen, hollow centre cracked disc (HCCD), the single edge-notched round bar in bending (SENRBB) specimen and edge notched disk (END). It was determined that which one of indirect fracture toughness values is close to direct one. For this purpose, initially calibration of PFC was undertaken with respect to data obtained from Brazilian laboratory tests to ensure the conformity of the simulated numerical models response. Furthermore, the simulated models in five introduced indirect tests were cross checked with the results from direct tests. By using numerical testing, the failure process was visually observed. Discrete element simulations demonstrated that the macro fractures in models are caused by microscopic tensile breakages on large numbers of bonded discs. Mode I fracture toughness of rock in direct test was less than other tests results. Fracture toughness resulted from semi-circular bend specimen test was close to direct test results. Therefore semi-circular bend specimen can be a proper test for determination of Mode I fracture toughness of rock in absence of direct test.

콘크리트 부재는 직접 인장력에 저항하도록 설계되지는 않는 것이 일반적이나, 부재의 균열강도 등을 산정하기 위해서는 반드시 확인하여야 하는 재료 특성 중의 하나이다. 콘크리트의 인장강도 시험방법은 주로 직접인장, 휨인장, 쪼갬인장의 3가지로 구분하고 있으나, 이 중 직접인장시험법은 시험체에 순수인장력을 가력할 수 있는 실험방법상의 문제로 거의 수행되지 못하여 온 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 직접인장시험방법의 검토 및 시험체의 세장비, 크기 등이 직접인장강도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 단부 보강편을 이용한 직접인장강도의 실험은 RILEM 및 U.S.Bureau of Reclamation의 규정을 사용하였으며, 총 4가지 종류의 세장비와 2가지 크기의 시험체에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험의 결과는 동일변수의 쪼갬인장강도 및 휨인장강도와 비교$.$분석을 실시하였으며, 이를 신뢰성있는 선행 연구자들의 연구결과와 비교하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

Direct ECC bypass phenomena that occur in a reactor vessel downcomer with a Direct Vessel Injection (DVI) system during the reflood phase of a Large Break Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LBLOCA) are experimentally investigated using a transparent l/7.5 scaled down test facility of the Upper Plenum Test Facility (UPTF). A series of separate effect tests are peformed in order to investigate the mechanisms of direct ECC bypass and to find out its scaling parameters. Various flow regimes and phasic distribution in downcomer are identified and mapped, and the fraction of direct ECC bypass is measured under a wide range of air and water injection conditions. From the counterpart test of the UPTF Test 21-D, the dimensionless gas velocity ( $j^{*}$$_{g,eff}$) is derived experimentally, which is believed to be a major scaling parameter for the fraction of direct ECC bypass. And it is found out that the direct ECC bypass is greatly affected by the spreading width of ECC water film and the geometric configuration of the downcomer.r.

This paper considers the tensile strength of concrete samples in direct, CTT, modified tension, splitting and ring tests using both of the experimental tests and numerical simulation (particle flow code 2D). It determined that which one of indirect tensile strength is close to direct tensile strength. Initially calibration of PFC was undertaken with respect to the data obtained from Brazilian laboratory tests to ensure the conformity of the simulated numerical models response. Furthermore, validation of the simulated models in four introduced tests was also cross checked with the results from experimental tests. By using numerical testing, the failure process was visually observed and failure patterns were watched to be reasonable in accordance with experimental results. Discrete element simulations demonstrated that the macro fractures in models are caused by microscopic tensile breakages on large numbers of bonded discs. Tensile strength of concrete in direct test was less than other tests results. Tensile strength resulted from modified tension test was close to direct test results. So modified tension test can be a proper test for determination of tensile strength of concrete in absence of direct test. Other advantages shown by modified tension tests are: (1) sample preparation is easy and (2) the use of a simple conventional compression press controlled by displacement compared with complicate device in other tests.

The main purpose of this study is to compare the traditional cost system and ABC(Activity Based Cost) system of clinical laboratory department in a hospital. The study subject was 296 services in clinical laboratory from March, 1997 to August, 1997. In a new costing system, cost for a lab test consist of direct cost element, activity based cost element, and allocated common cost element. In a traditional cost system, cost elements included direct cost element and indirect cost allocated based on test volumes The major findings of this research were as follows. 1. In the application of ABC system, total cost was analyzed as follows. Direct cost was 39.3% of total cost. Activity cost and allocation were 20.9% and 39.8%, respectively. The results of analysis to use traditional cost system were as follows. Direct cost was 39.3% and it was as same as the result of direct cost of ABC system. Indirect cost was 60.7%. 2. Activities of clinical laboratory of subject hospital were registration, pre-test operation, test, test result handling, delivery, culture, post-test operation, technical support, management support, and educational support. 3. The differences of the case of higher number of test case being carried out, the cost of ABC system was lower than the cost of traditional cost system. Otherwise in the case of lower number of test case being carried out, the rests have not been appropriately evaluated, and effective management were needed in clinical laboratory.

The present study addresses the direct and indirect methods of determining the mode-I fracture toughness of concrete using experimental tests and particle flow code. The direct method used is compaction tensile test and the indirect methods are notched Brazilian disc test, semi-circular bend specimen test, and hollow center cracked disc. The experiments were carried out to determine which indirect method yields the fracture toughness closer to the one obtained by the direct method. In the numerical analysis, the PFC model was first calibrated with respect to the data obtained from the Brazilian laboratory test. The crack paths observed in the simulated tests were in reasonable accordance with experimental results. The discrete element simulations demonstrated that the macro fractures in the models are caused by microscopic tensile breakages on large numbers of bonded particles. The mode-I fracture toughness in the direct tensile test was smaller than the indirect testing results. The fracture toughness obtained from the SCB test was closer to the direct test results. Hence, the semi-circular bend test is recommended as a proper experiment for determination of mode-I fracture toughness of concrete in the absence of direct tests.

In this study the shear strengths of a poorly grad ed rock material(d/sub max/≤50.8mm, C/sub u/=1.86) were determined by large direct shear test and large triaxial test. The obtained stress-strain curves by the above large shear tests for the rock materials are similar to the loose sand's or normally consolidated clay's curve, in which the peak strength does not appear obviously. And for the uniformly graded rock material the shear strength by large direct shear test may be overestimated around 1.54∼1.70 times that of large triaxial test.

연구목적: 본 논문에서는 직접전단시험에서 시험시편의 규모 때문에 부득이 굵은 입자가 제외되는 문제 때문에 발생되는 전단강도의 차이를 분석하고자 직접전단시험을 실시하는 실험연구를 수행하였다. 연구방법: 최대직경 50mm의 굵은 골재가 포함된 3개의 풍화토를 대상으로 대형직접전단시험을 실시하였다. 또한 굵은 골재가 제외된 최대직경 5mm 시료를 이용하여 소형직접전단시험을 실시하였다. 연구결과: 소형직접전단시험의 경우 큰입자가 포함된 대형직접전단시험의 결과에 비하여 내부마찰각은 약2.3% 작은 값을 도출하여 비교적 큰 차이가 없었다. 점착력에서는 대형직접전단시험에 비하여 소형 직접전단시험이 약 80.3% 작은 값을 도출하여 비교적 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 결론: 대형직접전단시험에서 굵은 입자가 내부마찰각보다는 점착력에 큰 영향을 준 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 굵은 입자를 포함한 화강풍화토는 수직응력에 영향을 받지 않는 점착력과 같은 전단강도를 갖고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 굵은 입자를 제외한 소형직접전단시험은 굵은 입자의 효과를 제외함으로서 안전측의 결과를 제공하는 것으로 분석되었다.

In order to investigate the characteristics of the shear strength of the unsaturated cohesive soils which has mean characters of sand and clay widely used for banking, I selected soil samples from An-sung district and, against it, performed direct shear test and unconfined compression test changing grain size, compaction energy and moisture content and also performed triaxial compression test under optimum moisture content. The results are as follows; 1.As the passing percent of the No. 200 sieve increased from 23.6% to 56.1%, cohesion increased from 0. 202kg/cm2 to 0. 398kg/cm2 under the direct shear test and from 0.38 kg/cm2 to 1. 05kg/cm2 under the tria4al compression test, internal friction angle decreased from 44. 78$^{\circ}$ to 34. 34$^{\circ}$ under the direct shear test and from 31. 88$^{\circ}$ to 13. 31$^{\circ}$ under the triaxial compression test. 2.Cohesion showed it's maximum value around OMC and internal friction angle showed a tendency to increase according to the decrease of water content but it's increasing ratio was relatively slow. 3.Decreasing ratio of cohesion and internal friction angle was relatively sensitive according to the decrease of compaction energy. 4.The smaller of the vertical stress and the coarser of the grain size of samples, changing of the volume showed a tendency to increase and as the increase of water content, the shear displacement (dh) at failure shear stress ($\tau$f) showed maximum and the $\tau$f-dh curve was gentle. 5.To synthesize the results of the direct shear test and the triaxial compression test, cohesion showed higher under the triaxial compression test and internal friction angle showed a tendeney to appear higher under the direct shear test. It seems that we can get correspondent results by removing the side friction of mold with soils and adjusting the vertical stress and shearing speed under the direct shear test.
