This paper was performed to obtain the data applied to use of synthetic lightweight aggregate concrete affected by alkali silica reaction. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. The expansion of each type concrete was increased with increase of curing age, respectively. Also, at the curing age 90 days, the rate of expansion of type A, B, C and D concrete was increased 0.173%, 0.575%, 0.230% and 0.680%, respectively. Specially, the rate of expansion of type D concrete was shown 3.93 times higher than the type A concrete. The cracks width were increased with increase of expansion and at the 0.680% expansion, the maximum width was shown 0.5 mm. 2. The dynamic modulus of elasticity of each type concrete was increased with increase of curing age, respectively. At the curing age 30 days, the highest dynamic modulus of elasticity was showed at each type concrete, respectively. But, it was gradually decreased with increase of curing age at those concrete, respectively. Also, at the curing age A, B, C and D concrete was increased 24.3%, 33.7%, 28.1% and 37.0%, respectively. The rate of loss in type D concrete was shown 1.52 times higher than the type A concrete. 3. The ultrasonic pulse velocity of each type concrete was increased with increase of curing age, respectively. At the curing age 30 days, the highest ultrasonic pulse velocity was showed at each type concrete, respectively. But, it was gradually decreased with increase of curing age at those concrete, respectively. Also, at the curing age 90 days, the percentage loss of ultrasonic pulse velocity of type A, B, C and D concrete was increased 6.4%, 8.7%, 8.5% and 14.2%, respectively. The rate of loss in type D concrete was shown 2.21 times higher than the type A concrete. 4. The relation between dynamic modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic pulse velocity was highly significant. The dynamic modulus of elasticity was increased with increase and decreased with decrease of ultrasonic pulse velocity. Also, the decreasing rate of the dynamic modulus of elasticity was shown 2-7 times higher than the ultrasonic pulse velocity at each age, respectively. 5. The dynamic modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic pulse velocity were decreased with increase of expansion, and the decreasing rates were increased with increase of curing age. The increasing rate of expansion was shown higher than the decreasing rate of dynamic modulus and ultrasonic pulse velocity.

Water repellent preservative (WRP) treated and untreated, small-sized specimens prepared from semiwater resistant, water resistant, and tegofilm-overlaid plywood were exposed to outdoor weathering for one year. Exterior durability of specimens was evaluated on the basis of changes in dynamic modulus of elasticity, degree of delamination, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, and glueline shear strength. Among untreated specimens, tegofilm-overlaid plywood showed the best outdoor durability, and durability between semiwater resistant and water resistant plywood was similar. Although WRP treatment increased the durability of all types of plywoods, the effect of treatment on the increase in durability for semi water resistant plywood was not distinct. Accordingly, it can be concluded that semi water resistant plywood, which is used for temporary construction such as concrete formwork in our country, can not be inadequate for exterior use, regardless of WRP treatment. The bending strength and glueline shear strength of untreated water resistant plywood measured after weathering for one year did not exceed the minimum value specified by Korean Standard (KS), thereby the outdoor use of water resistant plywood was not desirable without WRP treatment. Exterior durability between treated water resistant plywood and untreated tegofilm-overlaid plywood was very similar. This result suggests that if an exposed plywood surface is treated with WRP regularly water resistant plywood can be used for temporary construction. This suggestion, however, needs to be investigated. In summary, semiwater resistant plywood cannot be used for temporay construction regardless of WRP treatment. Water resistant plywood can be used only with WRP treatment. Comparing the cost of tegofilm-overlaid plywood to costs of water resistant plywood and WRP treatment, however, it can be concluded that use of tegofilm-overlaid plywood for temporay constrution is strongly suggested from the point of view of both outdoor durability and costs.

The influences of density variation on stress and displacement fields at a propagating Mode-III crack tip in orthotropic functionally graded materials (OFGMs) are studied. The crack propagates dynamically at a right angle to the gradient of physical properties. Three kinds of elasticity and density gradients are analyzed in this study. They are as follows: (1) the density varies without elasticity variation, (2) the directions of the density and elasticity gradients are opposite to each other, and (3) same. For these cases, the stress and displacement fields at the crack tip are developed and the dynamic stress intensity factors for propagating cracks are also studied. When the crack speed is low, the influence of density variation on the stresses and displacement is low. However, when the crack speed is high, this influence is very high.

This project follows the heterogeneous agent market segmented model of Landon-Lane and Occhino (2007) with using Korean data, M1 and GDP deflator from 1882:I to 2007:II. This paper estimates parameters with Monte Carlo Markov Chain. The fraction of traders, ${\lambda}$, in Korea is 15.64%. The quarterly preferences discount factor's, ${\beta}$, posterior mean is 0.9922. The posterior mean of the inverse of the elasticity of the labor supply to the real wage, ${\varphi}$, is 0.0316. The elasticity of the labor supply to the real wage has a very large value. By Hansen (1985) and Christiano and Eichenbaum (1992) and Cooley and Hansen (1989), models having large elasticity of the aggregate labor supply better match macroeconomic data.

Dynamical behaviors of one-dimensional (1D) nano-sized structures are of great importance in nanotechnology applications. Therefore, the torsional dynamic response of functionally graded nanorods which could be used to model the nano electromechanical systems or micro electromechanical systems with torsional motion about the center of twist is examined based on the theory of strain gradient nonlocal elasticity in this work. The mathematical background is constructed based on both strain gradient theory and Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. The equation of motions and boundary conditions of radially functionally graded nanorods are derived using Hamilton's principle and then transformed into the eigenvalue analysis by using Fourier sine series. A general coefficient matrix is obtained to assemble the Stokes' transformation. The case of a restrained functionally graded nanorod embedded in two elastic springs against torsional rotation is then deeply investigated. The effect of changing the functionally graded index, the stiffness of elastic boundary conditions, the length scale parameter and nonlocal parameter are investigated in detail.

In the present work the dynamic analysis of the functionally graded rectangular nanoplates is studied. The theory of nonlocal elasticity based on the quasi 3D high shear deformation theory (quasi 3D HSDT) has been employed to determine the natural frequencies of the nanosize FG plate. In HSDT a cubic function is employed in terms of thickness coordinate to introduce the influence of transverse shear deformation and stretching thickness. The theory of nonlocal elasticity is utilized to examine the impact of the small scale on the natural frequency of the FG rectangular nanoplate. The equations of motion are deduced by implementing Hamilton's principle. To demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method, the calculated results in specific cases are compared and examined with available results in the literature and a good agreement is observed. Finally, the influence of the various parameters such as the nonlocal coefficient, the material indexes, the aspect ratio, and the thickness to length ratio on the dynamic properties of the FG nanoplates is illustrated and discussed in detail.

This paper aims to adapt Multilinear regression (MLR) to predict the strength and toughness of SIFCON containing various pozzolanic materials. Slurry Infiltrated Fibrous Concrete (SIFCON) is one of the most common terms used in concrete manufacturing, known for its benefits such as high ductility, toughness and high ultimate strength. Assessment of compressive strength (CS.), flexural strength (F.S.), splitting tensile strength (STS), dynamic elasticity modulus (DME) and impact energy (I.E.) using the experimental approach is too costly. It is time-consuming, and a slight error can lead to a repeat of the test and, to solve this, alternative methods are used to predict the strength and toughness properties of SIFCON. In the present study, the experimentally investigated SIFCON data about various mix proportions are used to predict the strength and toughness properties using regression analysis-multilinear regression (MLR) models. The input parameters used in regression models are cement, fibre, fly ash, Metakaolin, fine aggregate, blast furnace slag, bottom ash, water-cement ratio, and the strength and toughness properties of SIFCON at 28 days is the output parameter. The models are developed and validated using data obtained from the experimental investigation. The investigations were done on 36 SIFCON mixes, and specimens were cast and tested after 28 days of curing. The MLR model yields correlation between predicted and actual values of the compressive strength (C.S.), flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity and impact energy. R-squared values for the relationship between observed and predicted compressive strength are 0.9548, flexural strength 0.9058, split tensile strength 0.9047, dynamic modulus of elasticity 0.8611 for impact energy 0.8366. This examination shows that the MLR model can predict the strength and toughness properties of SIFCON.

In this study, a database was established by collecting experimental results on various concrete mixtures subjected to freeze-thaw cycles, based on which an artificial neural network-based prediction model was developed to estimate durability resistance of concrete. A regression analysis was also conducted to derive an equation for estimating relative dynamic modulus of elasticity subjected to freeze-thaw loads. The error rate and coefficient of determination of the proposed artificial neural network model were approximately 11% and 0.72, respectively, and the regression equation also provided very similar accuracy. Thus, it is considered that the proposed artificial neural network model and regression equation can be used for estimating relative dynamic modulus of elasticity for various concrete mixtures subjected to freeze-thaw loads.
