Structural walls (also known as shear walls) are one of the common lateral load resisting elements in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in seismic regions. The performance of RC structural walls in recent earthquakes has exposed some problems with the existing design of RC structural walls. The main issues lie around the buckling of bars, out-of plane deformation of the wall (especially the zone deteriorated in compression), reinforcement getting snapped beneath a solitary thin crack etc. This study compares performance of a typical wall designed by different standards. For this purpose, a case study RC shear wall is taken from the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Christchurch which was designed according to the 1982 version of the New Zealand concrete structures standard (NZS3101:1982). The wall is redesigned in this study to comply with the detailing requirements of three standards; ACI-318-11, NZS3101:2006 and Eurocode 8 in such a way that they provide the same flexural and shear capacity. Based on section analysis and pushover analysis, nonlinear responses of the walls are compared in terms of their lateral load capacity and curvature as well as displacement ductilities, and the effect of the code limitations on nonlinear responses of the different walls are evaluated. A parametric study is also carried out to further investigate the effect of confinement length and axial load ratio on the lateral response of shear walls.

Turbulent natural convective flow and heat transfer in a square enclosure with horizontal partition are investigated numerically. The enclosure is composed of a lower hot and a upper cold horizontal walls and adiabatic vertical walls. Partitions carried with the upward, downward, and both control plates are attached perpendicularly to the one of the vertical insulated walls, respectively. The low Reynolds number $k-\varepsilon$ model is adopted to calculate the turbulent thermal convection. The governing equations are solved by using the finite element method with Galerkin method. The computations have been carried out by varying the length of partition, the position of control plates, and the Rayleigh number based on the temperature difference between two horizontal walls and the enclosure height for water(Pr=4.95). When the control plates are attached at the edge of partition, the stability of oscillating flow grows wrose with the increase of Rayleigh number and the partition length. The heat transfer rate has been reducer than that of no control plate due to the restraint of control plates with the increase of Rayleigh number.

It is very common to find an empirical formulation in an earthquake design code to calculate fundamental vibration period of a structural system. Fundamental vibration period or frequency is a key parameter to provide adequate information pertinent to dynamic characteristics and performance assessment of a structure. This parameter enables to assess seismic demand of a structure. It is possible to find an empirical formulation related to reinforced concrete structures, masonry towers and slender masonry structures. Calculated natural vibration frequencies suggested by empirical formulation in the literatures has not suits in a high accuracy to the case of rest of the historical masonry bridges due to different construction techniques and wide variety of material properties. For the listed reasons, estimation of fundamental frequency gets harder. This paper aims to present an empirical formulation through Mean Square Error study to find ambient vibration frequency of historical masonry bridges by using a non-linear regression model. For this purpose, a series of data collected from literature especially focused on the finite element models of historical masonry bridges modelled in a full scale to get first global natural frequency, unit weight and elasticity modulus of used dominant material based on homogenization approach, length, height and width of the masonry bridge and main span length were considered to predict natural vibration frequency. An empirical formulation is proposed with 81% accuracy. Also, this study draw attention that this accuracy decreases to 35%, if the modulus of elasticity and unit weight are ignored.

This study was to manufacture thinned wood of Larix leptolepis Gordon into Oriented Strand Board(OSB) with Urea-Formaldehyde Resin. The OSB was made of four kinds of strand in slenderness ratio 150 ; thickness $0.3{\pm}0.05mm$, $0.4{\pm}0.05mm$, $0.5{\pm}0.05mm$ and $0.6{\pm}0.05mm$, respectively length 45mm, 60mm, 75mm and 90mm. Target densities were 0.65gr/$cm^3$, 0.75gr/$cm^3$ and 0.85gr/$cm^3$. The stepwise 9 minutes-multi-pressing schedule in the maximum pressure 40kgf/$cm^2$, the minimum pressure 10kgf/$cm^2$ was applied for $400mm{\times}390mm{\times}12mm$ board at the temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ in a hot press. In MOR The OSB of thin strand thickness $0.3{\pm}0.05mm$(length 45mm) and density 0.85gr/$cm^3$ was the highest. The strand thickness had more effect on MOR than the strand length. In strand thickness $0.4{\pm}0.05mm$(length 60mm) and density 0.85gr/$cm^3$ was the highest MOE. The strand thickness and length had adverse effects on MOE each other. At internal bonding. The OSB of strand thickness $0.3{\pm}0.05mm$(length 45mm) and board density 0.75gr/$cm^3$ showed the highest value. OSB had higher IB value with thinner strand thickness. The thinner strand thickness showed the lower thickness swelling in turn $0.3{\pm}0.05mm$(length 45mm), $0.4{\pm}0.05mm$(length 60mm), $0.5{\pm}0.05mm$(length 75mm). $0.6{\pm}0.05mm$(length 90mm). Target densities 0.75gr/$cm^3$ 0.65gr/$cm^3$, 0.85gr/$cm^3$ showed in turn lower value. Finally, The OSB made of thinned wood of Larix leptolepis Gordon showed good results in laboratory experiment.

Purpose : To find statistically based information about the natural variation in the length of the styloid process and to show the influence of the gender and age on the length of the styloid process. Materials and Methods : 1,300 panoramic radiographs were retrieved from inactive files at the Dental Hospital of Kyung Hee University. Measurements of the length of the styloid process were made directly on the radiographs from the inferior margin of the tympanic plate to the tip of the styloid process. Results The mean length of 948 styloid processes was $25.2mm{\pm}6.6$. The median was 24.5 mm, and the interquartile range was 7 mm. The mean length was 25.7 mm for male and 24.6 mm for female. All percentile was greater for male than for female. The median is 25 mm for male and 24 mm for female. Conclusion : This study suggests that the difference of the styloid process length between genders was statistically significant and the length of styloid process was significant increased with age until 30 years.

Three wind-tunnel simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow in suburban country exposure were generated for length scale factors 1:400, 1:250 and 1:220 to investigate scale effects in wind-tunnel simulations of the suburban ABL, to address recommended wind characteristics for suburban exposures reported in international standards, and to test redesigned experimental hardware. Investigated parameters are mean velocity, turbulence intensity, turbulent Reynolds shear stress, integral length scale of turbulence and power spectral density of velocity fluctuations. Experimental results indicate it is possible to reproduce suburban natural winds in the wind tunnel at different length scales without significant influence of the simulation length scale on airflow characteristics. However, in the wind tunnel it was not possible to reproduce two characteristic phenomena observed in full-scale: dependence of integral length scales on reference wind velocity and a linear increase in integral length scales with height. Furthermore, in international standards there is a considerable scatter of recommended values for suburban wind characteristics. In particular, recommended integral length scales in ESDU 85020 (1985) are significantly larger than in other international standards. Truncated vortex generators applied in this study proved to be successful in part-depth suburban ABL wind-tunnel simulation that yield a novel methodology in studies on wind effects on structures and air pollution dispersion.

The railroad system must ensure not only the safety of facilities but also the prevention of natural and environmental disasters. The infrastructure must be strengthened in order to prevent rail damage by natural disasters and other causes. Thus, it would be able to prevent damage due to such natural factors like heavy rain and snow fall, wind, and catastrophic earthquakes. It seems that it would be the best way to install safety facilities throughout the entire length of a route, but one would not be able to provide for the costs involved in this approach. Therefore, these facilities must be installed at selected locations that is the most vulnerable to disasters. In this paper we propose the examples of both foreign and domestic methods in order to prevent from damages caused by the above-mentioned natural disasters and others.
