The reinforced concrete (RC) structures might need strengthening or upgradation due to adverse environmental conditions, design defects, modification requirements, and to prolong the expected lifespan. The RC beams have been efficiently strengthened using the near surface mounted (NSM) approach over the externally bonded reinforcing (EBR) system. In this study, the performance of RC beam elements strengthened with NSM-steel rebars was investigated using an experimental program and nonlinear finite element modeling (FEM). Nine medium-sized, rectangular cross-section RC beams total in number made up for the experimental evaluation. The beams strengthened with varying percentages of NSM reinforcement, and the number of grooves was assessed in four-point bending experiments up to failure. Based on the experimental evaluation, the load-displacement response, crack features, and failure modes of the strengthened beams were recorded and considered. According to the experimental findings, NSM steel greatly improved the flexural strength (up to about 84%) and stiffness of RC beams. The flexural response of the tested beams was simulated using a 3D non-linear finite element (FE) model. The findings of the experiments and the numerical analysis showed good agreement. The effect of the NSM groove and reinforcement on the structural response was then assessed parametrically.

The service loads are often decisive in the design of concrete structures. The evaluation of the cracking moment, $M_{cr}$, is an important issue to predict the performance of the structure, such as, the deflections of the reinforced concrete beams and slabs. To neglect the steel bars of the section is a simplification that is normally used in the computation of the cracking moment. Such simplification leads to small errors in the value of this moment (typically less than 20%). However, these small errors can conduce to significant errors when the values of deflections need to be computed from $M_{cr}$. The article shows that an error of 10% on the evaluation of $M_{cr}$ can lead to errors over 100% in the deformation values. When the deformation of the structure is the decisive design parameter, the exact computing of the cracking moment is obviously very important. Such rigorous computing might lead to important savings in the cost of the structure. With this article the authors wish to draw the attention of the technical community to this fact. A simple equation to evaluate the cracking moment, $M_{cr}$, is proposed for a rectangular cross-section. This equation leads to cracking moments higher than those obtained by neglecting the reinforcement bars and is a simple rule that can be included in Eurocode 2. To verify the accuracy of the developed model, the results of the proposed equation was compared with a rigorous computational procedure. The proposed equation corresponds to a good agreement when compared with the previous approach and, therefore, this model can be used as a practical aid for calculating an accurate value of the cracking moment.

The present study investigates the effects of various rib arrangements and rotating on heat/mass transfer in the cooling passage of gas turbine blades. The cooling passage has very complex flow structure, because of the rib turbulator and rotating effect. Experiments and numerical calculation are conducted to investigate the complex flow structures and heat transfer characteristics; the numerical computation is performed using a commercial code, FLUENT ver.5, to calculate the flow structures and the experiments are conducted to measure heat/mass transfer coefficients using a naphthalene sublimation technique. For the rotating duct tests, the test duct, which is the cross section of is $20mm\times40mm$ (the hydraulic diameter, $D_h$, of 26.7 mm, has two-pass with $180^{\circ}$ turning and the rectangular ribs on the wall. The rib angle of attack is $70^{\circ}$ and the maximum radius of rotation is $21.63D_h$. The partition wall has 10 mm thickness, which is 0.5 times to the channel width, and the distance between the tip of the partition wall and the outer wall of the turning region is 26.7 mm $(1D_h)$. The turning effect of duct flow makes the very complex flow structure including Dean type vortex and high turbulence, so that the heat/mass transfer increases in the turning region and at the entrance of the second pass. The Coriolis effect deflects the flow to the trailing surface, resulting in enhancement of the heat/mass transfer on the trailing surface and reduction on the leading surface in the first pass. However, the opposite phenomena are observed in the second pass. The each rib arrangement makes different secondary flow patterns. The complex heat/mass transfer characteristics are observed by the combined effects of the rib arrangements, duct rotation and flow turning.

개수로의 흐름 특성을 결정짓는 중요한 요소 중 하나는 흐름의 저항을 나타내는 마찰속도와 마찰계수이다. 하지만 개수로 흐름에서는 그 중요성에도 불구하고 자유수면과 단면의 복잡함, 다양한 수리변수들에 의해서 완벽한 해석이 매우 어렵다. 마찰계수에 대한 연구는 경험적 실험결과에 의존하고 있으므로 손쉬운 적용이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 엔트로피 개념을 활용하여 새로운 마찰계수 산정 공식을 제안하고 공식의 정확성을 증명하기 위해서 사다리꼴과 사각단면을 가진 개수로 실험 자료를 사용하였다. 본 공식의 장점은 무엇보다도 개수로에서 정확한 값을 알기 어려운 에너지 경사 항을 사용하지 않는 것에 있다. 그리고 이론적 배경을 바탕으로 높은 정확성을 가진 마찰계수 f의 산정이 가능함을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 뒤틀림을 받고 있는 정사각형 단면의 중공단면 보를 최소자승법과 경계요소법을 이용하여 수치 해석하고 구조물을 해석하였다. 임계하중은 하중을 점차적으로 증가하여 구조물이 파괴가 발생하여 안정성을 상실하는 상태에서 가장 작은 하중을 의미한다. 뒤틀림을 받고 있는 beam은 일반 구조물에서 많이 발생하는 현상이며, 구조물의 안정성에 크게 영향을 미치고 있다. 최소자승법과 경계요소법은 복잡한 구조물에서도 물론, 다양한 경계조건을 포함하는 문제에 이르기까지 구조물의 안정성을 검사하는데 효과적인 수치해석 방법이다. 특히 뒤틀림의 문제에서는 단순성 및 일반성에 기인하여 매우 적합한 해석방법이다. 본 연구에서는 뒤틀림을 받고 있는 중공단면 보의 해석해를 유도하여 최소자승법으로 수치 해석하고 또한 경계요소법을 적용하여 빔의 안정성을 비교 검토하였다. 개발한 컴퓨터 프로그램의 타당성을 증명하기 위하여 삼각형, 사각형 그리고 타원형 단면에 대하여 각각 해석하여 해석해와 비교 검토하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate experimentally the fatigue performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with hot-rolled ribbed fine-grained steel bars of yielding strength 500MPa (HRBF500). Three rectangular and three T-section RC beams with HRBF500 bars were constructed and tested under static and constant-amplitude cyclic loading. Prior to the application of repeated loading, all beams were initially cracked under static loading. The major test variables were the steel ratio, cross-sectional shape and stress range. The stress evolution of HRBF500 bars, the information about crack growth and the deflection developments of test beams were presented and analyzed. Rapid increases in deflections and tension steel stress occured in the early stages of fatigue loading, and were followed by a relatively stable period. Test results indicate that, the concrete beams reinforced with appropriate amount of HRBF500 bars can survive 2.5 million cycles of constant-amplitude cyclic loading with no apparent signs of damage, on condition that the initial extreme tensile stress in HRBF500 steel bars was controlled less than 150 MPa. It was also found that, the initial extreme tension steel stress, stress range, and steel ratio were the main factors that affected the fatigue properties of RC beams with HRBF500 bars, whose effects on fatigue properties were fully discussed in this paper, while the cross-sectional shape had no significant influence in fatigue properties. The results provide important guidance for the fatigue design of concrete beams reinforced with HRBF500 steel bars.

Light-weight or low-damped structures may encounter the unsteady galloping instability that occurs at low reduced wind speeds, where the classical quasi-steady assumption is invalid. Although this unsteady phenomenon has been widely studied for rectangular cross sections with one side perpendicular to the incidence flow, the effect of the mean wind angle of attack has not been paid enough attention yet. With four sectional models of different side ratios and geometric shapes, the presented research focuses on the effect of the wind angle of attack on unsteady galloping instability. In static tests, comparatively strong vortex shedding force was noticed in the middle of the range of flow incidence where the lift coefficient shows a negative slope. In aeroelastic tests with a low Scruton number, the typical unsteady galloping, which is due to an interaction with vortex-induced vibration and results in unrestricted oscillation initiating at the Kármán vortex resonance wind speed, was observed for the wind angles of attack that characterize relatively strong vortex shedding force. In contrast, for the wind angles of attack with relatively weak shedding force, an "atypical" unsteady galloping was found to occur at a reduced wind speed clearly higher than the Kármán-vortex resonance one. These observations are valid for all four wind tunnel models. One of the wind tunnel models (with a bridge deck cross section) was also tested in a turbulent flow with an intensity about 9%, showing only the atypical unsteady galloping. However, the wind angle of attack with the comparatively strong vortex shedding force remains the most unfavorable one with respect to the instability threshold in low Scruton number conditions.

소형분석시스템에서 미세채널의 상판이 제거되면 상판에 의한 빛 에너지 손실이 대폭 감소되어 광학측정법으로 대상을 분석할 때 장점을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 상판이 없는 사각단면 미세채널 내 액체유동을 이해하려는 목적으로 실험과 전산유체역학 해석을 수행하였다. 개방형 사각단면 미세채널에서 입자추적기법으로 유속을 측정하였고, 채널의 단면적 변화에 따른 모세관 유동현상을 이론적으로 해석하였다. 단면의 너비와 높이가 각각 20 ${\mu}m$로 제작된 미세채널의 주입부에 물을 떨어뜨렸을 때 물은 오직 모세관 힘에 의해 미세채널을 따라 이동하였다. 액체의 젖음현상에 영향을 미치는 중요한 유동 파라미터는 채널의 크기와 표면장력, 점성 등으로 볼 수 있으며, 미세채널에서 액체 유동을 조절하는데 이용될 수 있다.
