When caverns are excavated, it is very important to understand the distribution and charateristics of geological structures because the structures have an significant effect on grouting, rock reinforcement, and groundwater flow, etc. The main water bearing fractures have an orientation of N50~60W and these fractures are known as tension fractures. Their orientation coincides with a long elliptical axis ofpumping test, and they cross the tension fractures of N10~30E. They have typical fracture systems ofrhombic type in this area.

The main target of this research is investigating the relations between mechanical properties and injection conditions, like injection pressure, packing pressure and packing time for various contents ratio of glass fiber and resin. In general idea, high injection pressure produces high strength of molded parts as a monotonic function. but it was revealed that high pressure does not make high strength directly through various experiments of injection molding. In this experiments, PA66 was selected as resin and Glass Fiber was selected as reinforcing fiber Fiber reinforcement was controlled, as 14%, 25%, 33%, 44% of total volume and packing pressure was divided 55%, 65%, 75%, 85% of reference pressure, i.e. 100% equal to 1400kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Finally, tensile testing was executed for injected test specimen. Optimum results based on authors' experiments have been obtained under conditions of 25% and 33% of glass fiber contents. Tensile strength rather depends on the packing pressure and packing time than injection pressure. Especially almost equal value of tensile strength was obtained for various percentage of packing and injection pressure as 65%, 75% and 85% of reference pressure.

There are two methods to make a distinction of deterioration of high-speed railway track. One is that an administrator checks for each attribute value of track induction data represented in graph and determines whether maintenance is needed or not. The other is that an administrator checks for monthly trend of attribute value of the corresponding section and determines whether maintenance is needed or not. But these methods have a weak point that it takes longer times to make decisions as the amount of track induction data increases. As a field of artificial intelligence, the method that a computer makes a distinction of deterioration of high-speed railway track automatically is based on machine learning. Types of machine learning algorism are classified into four type: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, and reinforcement learning. This research uses supervised learning that analogizes a separating function form training data. The method suggested in this research uses SVM classifier which is a main type of supervised learning and shows higher efficiency binary classification problem. and it grasps the difference between two groups of data and makes a distinction of deterioration of high-speed railway track.

This paper introduces a new composite joint, which is the composite CFST beam- concrete column joint, and it is more convenient for transportation and erection than conventionally welded joints. The main components of this joint include steel H-beams welded with CFST beams, reinforced concrete columns, and reinforced concrete slabs. The steel H-beams and CFST beams are connected with a concrete slab using shear connectors to ensure composite action between them. An experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the proposed composite joint performance. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model was developed and analyzed for this joint using the ABAQUS/explicit. The FE model accuracy was validated by comparing its results with the relevant test results. Additionally, the parameters that consisted of the steel box beam thickness, concrete compressive strength, steel yield strength, and reinforcement ratio in the concrete slab were considered to investigate their influence on the proposed joint performance.

In this study, the effect of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) on the fire resistance properties of fiber-reinforced cement composites was investigated. The main variables were CNCs content (0.4, 0.8 and 1.2vol.% compared with cement), steel fiber ratio, and exposure temperature (100, 200, 400, 600 and 800℃). The fire resistance properties, i.e., residual compressive strength, flexural strength, and porosity, were evaluated in relation with the exposure temperature of the specimens. The CNCs suspensions were prepared to composited dispersion method of magnetic stirring and ultra-sonication. CNCs are effective for increasing the compressive strength at high temperatures but CNCs do not seem to have a significant effect on flexural reinforcement. Porosity test result showed CNCs reduce the non-hydration area inside the cement and promote hydration.

The research mainstream has focused on improving the competitiveness throughout the reinforcement of customer satisfaction and loyalty in the banking industry, but there is still a lack of research that reflects characteristics of banking services. From a customer point of view, this study considers a variety of bank characteristics such as levels of interest rate, numbers of transaction banks, monthly average balance, and age. In line with this observation, the main objective of the current research is to investigate the relationship between bank characteristics and ongoing transaction intentions with a particular bank using a categorial regression analysis and in turn, provide insights for managers. First, the findings show that deposit interest rate is insignificant for leading customers to ongoing transaction intentions, but loan interest rate is significant when customers are satisfied with a loan interest rate. Second, if customers only transact their banking services with a particular bank, they are more likely to deal with the bank, rather than customers who transact additional one or two banks. Third, in the case of monthly average balance, customers who have more than \100 million wons per month are likely to switch other competitors. Finally, old customers are more stable than young customers when they consider to switch the relationship with a bank. The author provides insights for bank managers and discusses research limitations and further directions of the study.

Corrosion of reinforcement is the main factors affecting the durability of reinforced concrete in the world which lead to the failure of structures of reinforced concrete buildings. In this research, mixed brucite(Mg(OH)₂) into ordinary portland cement paste in ratio of 5, 10 and 15% as a kind of CO₂ fixation material. Samples were exposed to an accelerated carbonation enslavement of 20% CO₂ concentration, 60% relative humidity, and a temperature of 20℃ until tested at 3d, 7d, 14d and 28d. After 28d CO₂ accelerated curing, in the paste containing MH megnesian calcite was found by XRD and SEM-EDX. Meanwhile, paste containing Mg(OH)₂ exhibit the better pore distribution than ordinary portland cement paste and relatively good compressive strength.

Most reinforcements in concrete are constructed by steel. Corrosion of reinforcement is the main cause of damage and early failure of reinforced concrete structures. The corrosion is mainly professed by the chloride ingress. In general, chloride in concrete can be discriminated by two components, total chloride and fire chloride. This paper provides a testing method on the coefficient of chloride diffusion in concrete and the relationship between total chloride and free chloride in concrete for the composition of predicting model on diffusion rate of chloride. In order to complete this predicting model, this study will use chloride penetration characteristic, diffusion coefficient and experiment of color change on silver nitrate solution. This predicting model is going to help that grasp special quality on salt content inclusion of concrete structure that is exposed in chloride environment. Accurate predicting model can be effectively used not only in selecting of repair time but also in preventing from various deteriorations.

In this study, the effect of epoxy mortar panel as the shear strengthening material of reinforced concrete beam is investigated by loading test. The main variables are the kind of strengthening material, the amount of reinforcement and the spacing of CFS(Carbon Fiber Sheet) stirrups. The design method to use epoxy mortar panel as shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beam took the shear capacity as the form of the sum of $V_c$, $V_s$, $V_{sheet}$ and $V_p$. By making a comparison between the values calculated by the proposed shear strength prediction formula and those from the loading test results, the mean value was 1.10 and the standard deviation was 8.16%.

Steel-concrete composite slabs with profiled steel sheeting are widely used in the execution of floors in steel and composite buildings. The rapid construction process, the elimination of conventional replaceable shuttering and the reduction of temporary support are, in general, considered the main advantages of this structural system. In slabs with the spans currently used, the longitudinal shear resistance commonly provided by the embossments along the steel sheet tends to be the governing design mode. This paper presents an innovative reinforcing system that increases the longitudinal shear capacity of composite slabs. The system is constituted by a set of transversal reinforcing bars crossing longitudinal stiffeners executed along the upper flanges of the steel sheet profiles. This type of reinforcement takes advantage of the high bending resistance of the composite slabs and increases the slab's ductility. Two experimental programmes were carried out: a small-scale test programme - to study the resistance provided by the reinforcing system in detail - and a full-scale test programme to test simply supported and continuous composite slabs - to assess the efficacy of the proposed reinforcing system on the global behaviour of the slabs. Based on the results of the small-scale tests, an equation to predict the resistance provided by the proposed reinforcing system was established. The present study concludes that the resistance and the ductility of composite slabs using the reinforcing system proposed here are significantly increased.
