An experimental investigation on the reinforcing bar corrosion and relationshid of reinforcing bar and concrete bond strength has been conducted to establish the allowable limit of rust in the construction field. The reinforcing bars used in this study were rusted before embedding in concrete. The first component of this experiment is to make rust of reinforcing bar rust artificially based on Faraday's theory at certain rates such as 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% of reinforcing bar weight. For estimation of the amount of rust by weight, Clarke's solution and Shot blasting were adopted and compared. Parameters include 240 and 450kg/㎠ of compressive strengths and diameter of reinforcing bar (16, 19 and 25mm) corresponding development length for pull-ort test. And, pull-out tests were carried. out according to KSF 2441 and ASTMC 234 to investigate the effect of the corrosion rate on reinforcing bar-concrete bond behavior. It is found from the test results that the test techniques for corrosion of bar used in this study is relatively effective and correct test method. Results shows that up to 2% of rust increases the bond strength regardless of concrete strength and diameter of reinforcing bar like the existing data. It might be because of the roughness from rust. As expected, the bond strength increases as compressive strength of concrete increases and the diameter of bar decreases.

This paper presented an investigation into steel tubes encased high-strength concrete (STHC) composite walls, wherein steel tubes were embedded at the boundary elements of high-strength concrete walls. A series of cyclic loading tests was conducted to evaluate the failure pattern, hysteresis characteristics, load-bearing capacity, deformability, and strain distribution of STHC composite walls. The test results demonstrated that the bearing capacity and ductility of the STHC composite walls improved with the embedding of steel tubes at the boundary elements. An analytical method was then established to predict the flexural bearing capacity of the STHC composite walls, and the calculated results agreed well with the experimental values, with errors of less than 10%. Finally, a finite element modeling (FEM) was developed via the OpenSees program to analyze the mechanical performance of the STHC composite wall. The FEM was validated through test results; additionally, the influences of the axial load ratio, steel tube strength, and shear-span ratio on the mechanical properties of STHC composite walls were comprehensively investigated.

Steganography based on Just Noticeable Difference(JND) has been used for natural images. However, it has been recognized to have defects for the non-natural images such as scanned text images, cartoons, etc. In this paper, an alternative method is proposed to improve this problem. A new scheme is designed specially for the non-natural images. Instead of JND, Noise Visibility Function(NVF) is used. NVF value and edge strength value of each pixel ate combined to decide the embedding data capacity and the visibility of data embedded images have been improved specially for the non-natural images.

단일 영상 초해상도 기법에는 보간 기반 방법과 표본 기반 방법 등이 있다. 보간 기반 방법들은 간결성에 강점을 가지고 있으나, 이들 방법들은 선지식을 이용할 수 없기 때문에 톱니 모양의 윤곽선을 가진 고해상도 영상을 생성하는 경향이 있다. 표본 기반 초해상도 기법에서는 최근방 기반 알고리즘들이 널리 이용되어 지고 있다. 그들 중, 네이버 임베딩은 지역적 선형 임베딩이라는 매니폴드 학습 방법의 개념과 같다. 그러나, 네이버 임베딩은 국부 학습 데이터 집합의 크기가 너무 작은데에 따른 빈약한 일반화 능력으로 인하여, 시각적으로나 정량적인 척도에 의해 취약한 성능을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 개선된 네이버 임베딩 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 저해상도 입력 영상이 주어지면 고해상도 버전의 화소 값들은 개선된 네이버 임베딩 알고리즘에 의해 구해진다. 실험 결과 제안된 방법이 바이큐빅 보간법이나 네이버 임베딩에 비해 정량적인 척도 및 시각적으로도 우수한 결과를 보였다.

본 연구는 엔지니어링 플라스틱인 Polybutylene terephthalate(PBT)에 첨가물을 넣어 강도와 열전도성, 열충격내구성을 개선시키는 것을 목적으로 한다. 그에 따라 PBT에 유리섬유(Glass Fiber)와 Boron nitride(BN)을 복합적으로 첨가하여, 각각의 조성비에 따른 기계적 특성과 열전도 특성변화를 실험적으로 분석하였다. 시험 결과 BN의 함유량이 증가함에 따라 열전도도는 증가하였고, 기계적 강도는 작아졌다. 열충격싸이클을 가한 결과, 비충전 PBT는 파단 신장률이 작아졌으나 충전 PBT는 강도와 열전도율이 별다른 성질변화가 거의 없었다. BN의 첨가에 따라 PBT 복합재의 열전도도도는 크게 향상되었다.

In this paper, an informed watermarking algorithm is proposed that aids in concealing packet loss errors in video communications. This watermark-based error concealment (WEC) method embeds a low resolution version of the video frame inside itself as watermark data. At the receiver, the extracted watermark is used as a reference for error concealment. The proposed DCT-based algorithm employs informed watermarking techniques in order to minimize the distortion of host frames. At the encoder, a predictive feedback loop is employed which helps to adjust the strength of the data embedding. Furthermore, the distortion of the DCT coefficients introduced in the embedding can be removed to a considerable extent, by employing bit-sign adaptivity. Simulation results on standard video sequences show that the proposed informed WEC scheme has an advantage of 3$\sim$4 dB in PSNR over non-informed WEC and that even a non-informed WEC is still superior to conventional error concealment techniques.

Traditional structural dynamic analysis and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of large scale concrete civil structures rely on manufactured embedding transducers to obtain structural dynamic properties. However, the embedding of manufactured transducers is very expensive and low efficiency for signal acquisition. In dynamic structural analysis and SHM areas, piezoelectric transducers are more and more popular due to the advantages like quick response, low cost and adaptability to different sizes. In this paper, the applicable feasibility assessment of the designed "artificial" piezoelectric transducers called Concrete Piezoelectric Smart Module (CPSM) in dynamic structural analysis is performed via three major experiments. Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) based on Ibrahim Time Domain (ITD) Method is applied to experimentally extract modal parameters. Numerical modal analysis by finite element method (FEM) modeling is also performed for comparison. First ten order modal parameters are identified by EMA using CPSMs, PCBs and FEM modeling. Comparisons are made between CPSMs and PCBs, between FEM and CPSMs extracted modal parameters. Results show that Power Spectral Density by CPSMs and PCBs are similar, CPSMs acquired signal amplitudes can be used to predict concrete compressive strength. Modal parameter (natural frequencies) identified from CPSMs acquired signal and PCBs acquired signal are different in a very small range (~3%), and extracted natural frequencies from CPSMs acquired signal and FEM results are in an allowable small range (~5%) as well. Therefore, CPSMs are applicable for signal acquisition of dynamic responses and can be used in dynamic modal analysis, structural health monitoring and related areas.

The ultrasonic test is recognized for its significance as a non-destructive testing method to detect volume defects such as porosity and incomplete penetration which reduce strength in the weld zone. This paper illustrates the defect detection in the weld zone of ferritic carbon steel using ultrasonic wave and the evaluation of pattern recognition by chaotic feature extraction using time series signal of detected defects as data. Shown in the time series data were that the time delay was 4 and the embedding dimension was 6 which indicate the geometric dimension of the subject system and the extent of information correlation. Based on fractal dimension and lyapunov exponent in quantitative chaotic feature extraction, feature value of 2.15, 0.47 is presented for porosity and 2.24, 0.51 for incomplete penetration The precision rate of the pattern recognition is enhanced with these values on the total waveform of defect signal in the weld zone. Therefore, we think that the ultrasonic pattern recognition method of weld zone defects of ferritic carbon steel by ultrasonic-chaotic feature extraction proposed in this paper can boost precision rate further than the existing method applying only partial waveform.

As the need for the integration of administrative datasets and address information increases, there is also growing interest in POI (Point of Interest) data as a source of location information across applications and platforms. The purpose of this study is to develop an alias database management method for efficient POI searching, based on POI data representing position. First, we determine the attributes of POI alias data as it is used variously by individual users. When classifying aliases of POIs, we excluded POIs in which the typo and names are all in English alphabet. The attributes of POI aliases are classified into four categories, and each category is reclassified into three classes according to the strength of the attributes. We then define the quality of POI aliases classified in this study through experiments. Based on the four attributes of POI defined in this study, we developed a method of managing one POI alias through and integrated method composed of word embedding and a similarity measurement. Experimental results of the proposed POI alias management method show that it is possible to utilize the algorithm developed in this study if there are small numbers of aliases in each POI with appropriate POI attributes defined in this study.

This paper describes a method for a falling weight impact test to estimate the impact energy absorbing characteristics and impact strength of CFRP (Carbon-fiber reinforced plastics) laminate plates based on considerations of stress wave propagation theory, which were converted to measurements of load and displacement verses time. The delamination area of impacted specimens for the different ply orientations was measured with an ultrasonic C-scanner to determine the correlation between impact energy and delamination area. The energy absorbed by a quasi-isotropic specimen having four interfaces was higher than that of orthotropic laminates with two interfaces. The more interfaces, the greater the energy absorbed. The absorbed energy of a hybrid specimen embedding GFRP (Glass-fiber reinforced plastics) layer was higher than that of normal specimens. Also, a falling weight impact tester was built to evaluate the characteristics and impact strength of CFRPs.
