The major objective of this study is to investigate the effects and application of improvement for railway steel plate girder bridge by resilient panel track system. It analyzed the mechanical behaviors of steel plate girder bridge with applying resilient panel track system on the finite element analysis and laboratory test for static & dynamic characteristics. As a result, the improvement of steel plate girder bridge with resilient panel track systems are obviously effective for the static & dynamic response which is non-ballast steel plate girder bridge. The analytical and experimental study are carried out to investigate resilient panel track system decrease vertical acceleration and deflection on steel plate girder bridge for serviceability. And the resilient panel track system reduced dynamic maximum displacements (about 59%) and stresses (about 82%), the increase of dynamic safety is predicted by adopting resilient panel track system. From the dynamic test results of steel plate girder bridge, it is investigated that vertical acceleration and deflection is very low with applying resilient panel track system. The servicing steel plate girder bridge with resilient panel track system has need of the reasonable improvement measures which could be reducing the effect of static and dynamic behavior that degradation phenomenon of structure by an unusual response characteristic and a drop durability.

Titanium alloys has been received an attention due to their excellent specific strength and many other superior properties in the application of components of flying subjects. In this study, Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64 alloy) has been selected in order to evaluate oxidation and degradation behaviors under the exposure of high temperature flame. The alloy has been coated with Al diffusion coating routes. The coated alloys showed an improved oxidation and degradation behaviors. The oxidation and degradation mechanism for the coated and uncoated alloys has been discussed in terms of microstructural observations.

Polychloroprene(CR) is well known as elastomer commonly utilized in the electrical. It is mainly used for cable jacket and insulator. The irradiation degradation property of polymer materials is very important to prevent unexpected accidents in the Nuclear Power Plant(NPP). The irradiation degradation is caused by the oxidation of polymer materials, and this oxidation is occurred by oxygen radical produced from air. In this study, we evaluate the oxidation properties of CR. CR is irradiated for 200, 400, 600, 1000 kGy radiation dose. The oxidation properties of irradiated CR are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical properties and FT-IR/ATR. Glass transition temperature(Tg), decomposition onset temperature(DOT), loss modulus and mechanical tan $\delta$ values are compared together. The irradiation limit of CR in the NPP, is known for 500 kGy, and this is exactly matched with investigated results.

The thermal properties of chloroprene rubber (CR) with $^{60}Co\;{\gamma}$-ray irradiation has been investigated. The prepared CR was irradiated up to 1000kGy radiation dose by $^{60}Co\;{\gamma}$-ray and the radiation degradation of CR was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and differential acanning calorimetry. Dynamic mechanical properties measurement and FT-IR observation are carried out as well. From these analyses results, the glass transition temperature($T_g$), decomposition onset temperature(DOT), oxidative induction time(OIT), the peak temperature of loss modulus and mechanical tan ${\delta}$ values were compared for the radiation degradation level of CR. The tendency between $T_g$ and peak temperature of loss modulus and mechanical tan ${\delta}$ agreed well with radiation doses. Decomposition temperature, OIT and DOT showed the same tendencies as increasing radiation doses. It was verified that these analyses are available to estimate the degradation level of CR.

This study focuses on the influence of strong ground motion duration on the response and collapse probability of reinforced concrete walls with a predominant response in flexure. Walls with different height and mass were used to account for a broad spectrum of configurations and fundamental periods. The walls were designed following the specifications of the Chilean design code. Non-linear models of the reinforced concrete walls using a distributed plasticity approach were performed in OpenSees and calibrated with experimental data. Special attention was put on modeling strength and stiffness degradation. The effect of duration was isolated using spectrally equivalent ground motions of long and short duration. In order to assess the behavior of the RC shear walls, incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) were performed, and fragility curves were obtained using cumulative and non-cumulative engineering demand parameters. The spectral acceleration at the fundamental period of the wall was used as the intensity measure (IM) for the IDAs. The results show that the long duration ground motion set decreases the average collapse capacity in walls of medium and long periods compared to the results using the short duration set. Also, it was found that a lower median intensity is required to achieve moderate damage states in the same medium and long period wall models. Finally, strength and stiffness degradation are important modelling parameters and if they are not included, the damage in reinforced concrete walls may be greatly underestimated.

In dynamic analyses such as seismic ground response and soil-structure interaction problems, it is very crucial to obtain accurate dynamic shear modulus of soil deposit. In this study, an extensive data base of available experimental data is compiled and reanalyzed to establish a simple empirical formula for the dynamic shear modulus reduction curve to cover wide range of strain for sandy soils. The proposed empirical equation is to represent the dynamic shear modulus degradation with strain in terms of low-amplitude dynamic shear modulus and effective mean confining Pressure, since those factors have the most significant effect on the Position and shape of the shear modulus reduction curve for nonelastic soils. If low-amplitude shear modulus is measured, degraded modulus at any shear strain amplitude can be calculated using the proposed equation.

There has been a number of research on concrete durability. specially, as a research on chemical ingression, the research on the degradation against acid, alkali, and sulfate has been conducted. On the other hand, for the research on oils, especially, the influence of various oils on cement mortar with Supplementary Cementitious Materials(SCMs) is not sufficiently studied. hence, in this research, the degradation of cement mortar incorporated fly ash and blast furnace slag is researched when the cement mortar is submerged in various oils. For the result of experiment, as the content of fatty acid in the oils, the degradation of cement mortar with SCMs was occurred more, and the cement mortar with SCMs suffered more degradation than the ordinary portland cement regarding the oil submerging.
