The effects of cyclic stress, frequency and bias-pressure on densification of Al2O3 powder cyclic compaction are investigated. The effect of frequency was not significant on densification of Al2O3 powder under cyclic compaction. The higher the cyclic stress and the lower the bias pressure, the higher densification was achieved. To obtain a higher densification, cyclic compaction was more efficient than 1 stroke compaction. A densification equation was proposed to describe an cyclic time dependent pressure-volume relation for Al2O3 powder under cyclic compaction. This equation was obtained empirically, based on the pressure-volume equation proposed by Cooper and Eaton, the time dependent densification equation by Kim and Suh and experimental data for Al2O3 powder under cyclic compaction. The agreement between the proposed equation and experimental data for Al2O3 powder under cyclic compaction was very good.

Published correlation equations of the enthalpy of vaporization are reviewed and a new four-parameter correlation equation is proposed. Performance of the proposed equation is examined using the ASHRAE data for 22 pure substance refrigerants as reference data. The new equation yields an average absolute deviation of $0.05\%$, which is smaller than those of published equations, such as equations of Guermouche-Vergnaund $(0.08\%)$, Aerebrot $(0.13\%)$, Radoz-Lydersen $(0.08\%)$, and Somayajulu $(0.08\%)$. The three adjustable parameters of the modified correlation are optimized and reported for 22 substances. The equation proposed in this work is valid over the entire temperature range where data points exist.

The model test and field test for an infiltration trench were carried out to estimate the infiltration quantity in a granular ground with high permeability like Jeju's ground. The specific infiltration equation was suggested on the basis of the model test result. It shows that the infiltration quantity by the proposed equation is larger than about two times of that by the existed equation. Meanwhile, the infiltration quantity from field test is similar to that from the proposed equation as the result of comparison between infiltration quantity of the filed test and that of the proposed equation and the existed equation. Therefore, it may be right that the proposed equation is applied to estimate the infiltration quantity of the infiltration trench in a granular ground with high permeability.

A few commonly used correlation equations of the enthalpy of vaporization are reviewed and a new three-parameter correlation equation is proposed. Performance of the proposed equation is examined using the data listed in the ASHRAE table for 22 pure substance refrigerants. The new equation yields an average absolute deviation of 0.14% for 22 refrigerants, which is better than those of other equations, such as Xiang (0.18%), Major-Svoboda-Pick (0.18%), and Somayajulu equation (0.23%).

It is the "maturity rule" that concrete of the same mix, at the same maturity, has the same strength. In this study, the Nurse-Saul function which was proposed to account for the effects of temperature and time on strength development is used in computing maturity. After existing various functions to relate concrete strength to the maturity value are considered, new strenth-maturity function is proposed. Tests are conducted in order to compare prediction value with measured concrete strength. The constants in proposed prediction equation are determined by standard specimens(cylinders) test, and the equation is adopted to predict strength of slab. The slab was cast in the laboratory from the same batch of mole, and cores are cut from slab in order to estimate the actual strength. Tehese values are used to compare with proposed equation. equation.

The shear strength equations of the joint with RC column and steel beam are used the proposed equations of ASCE, Kanno and AIJ but there are not applied variable joint details. Until now the variable experimental studies are practiced but the studies of predicted shear strength equation are not integrated and only the applicable equations to each case are proposed. The purpose of this study is statistical analysis for the proposed equations applied existing experiments. The proposed equations are ASCE, Kanno, M-Kanno, AIJ and M-AIJ. The 47 of shear failure experiments are used in this study The consequence is that the Kanno's equation is very analogized with the experimental result but ASCE equation underestimates about 42$\%$. AIJ and M-AIJ are not proper equations for estimating the shear strength of RCS joint.

In this study, an estimation equation was proposed to predict the shear strength of RC interior beam-column connections. The proposed equation considered the effect of both truss and arch mechanisms, while the existing equations in the ACI and AIJ design codes consider only arch mechanism. In addition, the proposed equation estimates the shear strength of RC joints by considering the contribution of the vertical and horizontal steel bars on the effective compressive strength of concrete. The shear strength of RC joints calculated by the proposed equation was compared with the test results of 54 RC joints, which failed in shear before plastic hinges developed at the end of the adjacent beams. The comparison study showed that the proposed equation estimated the strength of the 54 specimens with a mean value of 1.14 and the coefficient of variation of 20%. The proposed equation provides improved prediction compared to those obtained from the equations in the ACI and AIJ design codes.

Blast vibration equations proposed previously are investigated. Special attention is given to the blast vibration equation which shows the best fitting to the geologic condition of Korea. The fittness of proposed blast vibration equation is analyzed and examined using many field data measured in Korea. The prediction of blast vibration equation using field data was performed by linear regression analysis. Moreover, after the prediction of each blast vibration equation, vibration velocity is recalculated on the basis of scaled distance at each equation. Reliability of regressioned blast vibration equation is observed by comparing predicted and measured velocity, which is divided into small-scale blasting of city and large-scale blasting of quarry. Based on this study, the best fitting equation to the Korean geologic condition is ROOT SCALING & CUBE ROOT SCALING proposed by USBM(United Nations Bureau of Mines). Also representative blast vibration equations depending on the different kinds of rock mass are proposed using measured and existing field data.

The objective of the study is to verify a new calibration equation of dry density and water contents with TDR. Since the traditional calibration equation was proposed, some research to develop a new calibration equation has been conducted by several researchers. As traditional calibration equation is difficult to be applied for loose soil and fine-grained soil at high water contents, this study developed a new calibration equation. Thus, this study introduces a new calibration equation and its applicability by comparing TDR test results with conventional test results. Based on the analyses, the calibration equation for water content has large error. A new calibration equation was proposed and it showed more than 95% accuracy for estimating water content of soil.

The magnitude of the lateral resistance that resists the lateral movement of the pile is controlled by the amount of the pile movement and the strength and stiffness of soil. In this paper, we proposed an equation which produces the lateral resistance of the laterally loaded single pile using the strain wedge model of the soil deformation. The results of this equation is compared with results of model test, field test, p-y curve and other methods. It is found that the result of proposed equation is smaller than the result of model test. The results of loading test considerably coincide with those of proposed equation; however, a few of deviations are generated as the displacement of pile head increases. Moreover, coincidences exist between the results of the proposed equation and those of finite difference method.
