CFRP composites are used as primary structural members in various industrial fields because their specific strength and specific stiffness are excellent in comparison to conventional metals. Their usage is expanding to high added-value industrial fields because they are more than 50% lighter than metals, and have excellent heat resistance and wear resistance. However, when CFRP composites suffer impact damage, destruction of fiber and interface delamination occur. This causes an unexpected deterioration of strength, and for this reason it is very difficult to ensure the reliability of the excellent mechanical properties. Therefore, for the destruction mechanism in bending with impact damage, this study investigated the reinforcement data regarding various external loads by identifying the consequential strength deterioration. Specimens were damaged by impact with a steel ball propelled by air pressure. Decrease in bending strength caused by the tension and compression of the impact side, and depending on the lamination direction of fiber and interface inside the specimen. From the bending test it was found that the bending strength reduced when the impact energy increased. Especially in the case of compression on the impact side, as tensile stress occurred at the damage starting point, causing rapid failure and a substantially reduced failure strength.

Synchronous wind-induced pressures, measured in wind-tunnel tests on model buildings instrumented with hundreds of pressure taps, are an invaluable resource for designing safe buildings efficiently. They enable a much more detailed, accurate representation of the forces and moments that drive engineering design than conventional tables and graphs do. However, the very large volumes of data that such tests typically generate pose a challenge to their widespread use in practice. This paper explains how a wavelet representation for the time series of pressure measurements acquired at each tap can be used to compress the data drastically while preserving those features that are most influential for design, and also how it enables incremental data transmission, adaptable to the accuracy needs of each particular application. The loss incurred in such compression is tunable and known. Compression rates as high as 90% induce distortions that are statistically indistinguishable from the intrinsic variability of wind-tunnel testing, which we gauge based on an unusually large collection of replicated tests done under the same wind-tunnel conditions.

An ideal circuit breaker should supply electric power to loads without losses in a conduction state and completely isolate the load from the power source by providing insulation strength in a break state. Fault current is relatively easy to break in an Alternating Current (AC) circuit breaker because the AC current becomes zero at every half cycle. However, fault current in DC circuit breaker (DCCB) should be reduced by generating a high arc voltage at the breaker contact point. Large fire may occur if the DCCB does not take sufficient arc voltage and allows the continuous flow of the arc fault current with high temperature. A semiconductor circuit breaker with a power electronic device has many advantages. These advantages include quick breaking time, lack of arc generation, and lower noise than mechanical circuit breakers. However, a large load capacity cannot be applied because of large conduction loss. An extinguishing technology of DCCB with polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) device is proposed and evaluated through experiments in this study to take advantage of low conduction loss of mechanical circuit breaker and arcless breaking characteristic of semiconductor devices.

The reliability of structures is affected by various impacts that generally have a negative effect, from extreme weather conditions, due to climate change to natural or man-made hazards. In recent years, extreme loading has had an enormous impact on the resilience of structures as one of the most important characteristics of the sound design of structures, besides the structural integrity and robustness. Resilience can be defined as the ability of the structure to absorb or avoid damage without suffering complete failure, and it can be chosen as the main objective of design, maintenance and restoration for structures and infrastructure. The latter needs further clarification (which is done in this paper), to achieve the clarity of goals compared to robustness which is defined in Eurocode EN 1991-1-7 as: "the ability of a structure to withstand events like fire, explosions, impact or the consequences of human error, without being damaged to an extent disproportionate to the original cause". Many existing structures are more vulnerable to the natural or man-made hazards due to their material deterioration, and a further decrease of its loadbearing capacity, modifying the structural performance and functionality and, subsequently, the system resilience. Due to currently frequent extreme events, the design philosophy is shifting from Performance-Based Design to Resilience-Based Design and from unit to system (community) resilience. The paper provides an overview of such design evolution with indicative needs for Resilience-Based Design giving few conducted examples.

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are the primary type of vertical support used in building structures that sustain vertical loads. However, their strength may be insufficient due to fire, earthquake or volatile environments. The load demand may be increased due to new functional usages of the structure. The deformability of concrete columns can be greatly reduced under high axial load conditions. In response, a novel steel encasement that distinguishes from the traditional steel jacketing that is assembled by welding or bolt is developed. This novel strengthening method features easy installation and quick strengthening because direct fastening is used to connect the four steel plates surrounding the column. This new connection method is usually used to quickly and stably connect two steel components by driving high strength fastener into the steel components. The connections together with the steel plates behave like transverse reinforcement, which can provide passive confinement to the concrete. The confined column along with the steel plates resist the axial load. By this way, the axial load capacity and deformability of the column can be enhanced. Eight columns are tested to examine the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method. The effects of the vertical spacing between adjacent connections, thickness of the steel plate and number of fasteners in each connection are studied to identify the critical parameters which affect the load bearing performance and deformation behavior. Lastly, a theoretical model is proposed for predicting the axial load capacity of the strengthened RC columns.

Blast Hardened Bulkhead (BHB) is an important measure that can increase the ship's survivability as well as protect the lives of the crew by mitigating the damage extent caused by an internal explosion in the ship. In particular, both the pressure and the shock impulse should be considered when designing the BHB against reflected shock waves having a high pressure with a short duration. This study proposes a design method for BHB that considers both the pressure and the shock impulse generated during the internal explosion. In addition, analysis and design concepts for accident loads such as explosion, fire, and collision of NORSOK and DNVGL, one of the international design guidelines for the curtain plate type blast hardened bulkhead type applied by the Korean Navy, are utilized. If this method is applied, it is expected that it can be used as a design concept for the pressure as well as the shock impulse of the explosion load of the curtain plate.

본 연구의 목적은 H-형강 압축재의 온도상승에 따른 파괴거동을 중심으로 압축력과 파괴온도의 상관관계를 파악하기 위한 실험을 수행하는 것이다. SS400 강재로 제작된 H-형강의 시험체를 선정하여, ISO 834의 재하가열 시험방법에 따라 온도 상승에 대한 실험을 한국방재시험연구원(FILK)에서 수행하였다. 고온상태의 강재에 대한 항복강도 및 탄성계수의 감소계수는 EC3 (Eurocode3) Part 1.2 (1993) 관계식을 근거로 하여 파괴온도시 국부 및 전체좌굴 응력도와 항복응력도를 실험결과와 비교 검토하였다. 실험조건은 세장비 45.4이고 상온에서의 항복내력에 대한 50%, 70%, 80%를 재하압축력으로 설정하여 파괴온도를 측정하였다. 파괴온도와 재하압축력에 대한 실험결과로 부터 온도상승에 따른 내력은 탄성 좌굴강도보다는 항복내력에 근접함을 파악할 수 있었다.

소방용 비상발전기는 화재 시 인명과 재산을 보호하는 소방 시설에 전원을 공급하는 중요한 설비이다. 이러한 중요성에 따라 관련 법규에서는 의무적으로 비상발전기에 비상용 부하를 연결하여 시험하도록 규정하고 있다. 그러나 실 계통에서는 비상전원계통의 부하운전 시험을 위해 상용 전원을 차단하는 경우 저압기기의 파손, 병원과 같은 중요시설의 응급부하 정지 등 심각한 문제점이 발생할 수 있어, 무부하로 비상발전기를 형식적으로 시험하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 상기의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여, 상용 전원의 차단 없이 비상발전기에 전기저장장치를 연계하여, 비상용부하의 동작특성과 동일하게 ESS가 충전동작을 수행함으로서 비상발전기의 성능 및 상태를 시험할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 또한, 배전계통 상용 해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여, 비상발전기, 비상용부하, ESS 부하시험장치로 구성된 비상전원계통의 모델링을 제시하고, 20kW급 ESS 부하시험장치를 구현하여, 이를 바탕으로 다양한 시나리오에 따른 시뮬레이션과 시험을 수행하여 본 논문에서 제안한 ESS 부하시험 장치와 모델링의 유용성을 확인한다.
