This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the correlation between the lubrication characteristics of an engine and its fuel economy. Improving the lubrication characteristics of the engine oil is one of the most efficient ways to improve a car's fuel economy. The methods to accomplish this include lowering the viscosity, adding a friction modifier and optimizing the shear stability index of a viscosity index improver. In addition, it is necessary to use different methods to reduce the friction to individual lubrication areas, because different lubrication regimes are used for different engine parts. The experimental investigation in this study is based on design of experiments ; this paper presents the results of a modified Sequence VID test, which is an ASTM standard test used to measure the effects of automotive engine oils on the fuel economy of passenger cars. The results demonstrate the effects of the following lubrication factors on the fuel economy : the low temperature cranking viscosity, high-temperature high shear (HTHS) viscosity, friction modifier, polymer type and shear stability index of the viscosity index improver. Moreover, this study involves an analysis of variance based on design of experiments. The test results show that the HTHS viscosity, friction modifier and shear stability index of the viscosity index improver are more effective than the other factors. Therefore, lowering the viscosity, adding a friction modifier and optimizing the shear stability index of a viscosity index improver should be considered to improve fuel economy.

Shear properties of geosynthetic/geosynthetic and geosynthetic/soil were evaluated from direct shear tests. The type of geosynthetic is Velcro which is effective for geosynthetic interface and make up for the weakness of sandbag. In this study, the cohesion and the angle of internal friction of each interface was estimated. The test results showed that the cohesion and the angle of internal friction of the geosynthetics depended on the amount of normal stress, the type of the geosynthetics used, and combinations of the geosynthetics and soils. Finally, by comparing the apparent cohesion and the friction angle of the geosynthetics, the applicability to design was identified.

황등 화강암, Berea 사암, 정선 대리암, 홍천 편마암, 풍암 셰일 및 음성 사질 셰일의 여섯 종류의 암석에 대하여 직접전단시험, 기울임시험 그리고 당김시험을 이용하여 기본마찰각을 측정하고, 암종에 따른 기본마찰각의 특성, 시험방법의 정확성을 비교, 검토하여 기본마찰각 측정에 가장 정확하고 효율적인 시험방법을 제시하였다. 기본마찰각은 직접전단시험을 이용하면 정확하게 측정되지만, 비싼 장비와 복잡한 시험절차가 필요하다. 국제암반역학회에서 표준시험법으로 제안한 기울임시험은 직접전단시험에서 측정된 기본마찰각과 유사한 값을 제시하나, 동일한 암석으로 제작된 3개의 시료에서 측정된 기본마찰각은 최대 7° 이상의 오차를 보이고, 1개의 시료에서 5회 측정된 미끄러짐 각 또한 시료에 따라서 증가하거나, 감소하거나, 유사한 값을 보이는 등 일정한 패턴을 보이지 않고 변할 뿐만 아니라, 편마암에서는 최대 12°의 오차를 보여 시험의 신뢰성에 상당한 의문이 든다. 간단한 시험장비와 비교적 낮은 수직응력하에서 실시되는 당김시험은 직접전단시험에서 구한 기본마찰각과 매우 유사한 값을 제공하고, 측정된 값들이 일관성을 보이고 시험절차 또한 매우 간단하여 기본마찰각 측정에 가장 유용한 시험 방법으로 판단된다.

This study conducted a direct shear test to evaluate friction properties on contact surface of waste resources including turban shell, gastropod shell and PET bottle film. The contact surface that was considered for computation of shear strength in contact surface were turban shell/turban shell, gastropod shell/gastropod shell, and PET bottle film/PET bottle film. As a result of test, friction angle was found to be $16.7^{\circ}$ for contact surface of turban shell/turban shell, $35.4^{\circ}$ for gastropod shell/gastropod shell, and about $11^{\circ}$ for PET bottle film/PET bottle film. Using the results, the author aims to provide a possibility for application of waste resource in the field.

Frictional forces between soil and structural elements are of vital importance for the foundation engineering. Although numerous studies were performed about the soil-structure interaction in recent years, the approximate relations proposed in the first half of the 20th century are still used to determine the frictional forces. Throughout history, wood was often used as friction piles. Steel has started to be used in the last century. Today, alternatively these materials, FRP (fiber-reinforced polymer) piles are used extensively due to they can serve for long years under harsh environmental conditions. In this study, various ratios of low plasticity clays (CL) were added to the sand soil and compacted to standard Proctor density. Thus, soils with various internal friction angles (${\phi}$) were obtained. The skin friction angles (${\delta}$) of these soils with FRP, which is a composite material, steel (st37) and wood (pine) were determined by performing interface shear tests (IST). Based on the data obtained from the test results, a chart was proposed, which engineers can use in pile design. By means of this chart, the skin friction angles of the soils, of which only the internal friction angles are known, with FRP, steel and wood materials can be determined easily.

The shear strength has been managed as an important factor in soil mechanics. The shear strength estimation model was developed to evaluate the shear strength using only a few soil properties by the linear regression analysis model which is one of the statistical methods. The shear strength is divided into two part; one is the internal friction angle ($\Phi$) and the other is the cohesion (c). Therefore, some valid soil factors among the results of soil tests are selected through the correlation analysis using SPSS and then the model are formulated by the linear regression analysis based on the relationship between factors. Also, the developed model is compared with the result of direct shear test to prove the rationality of model. As the results of analysis about relationship between soil properties and shear strength, the internal friction angle is highly influenced by the void ratio and the dry unit weight and the cohesion is mainly influenced by the void ratio, the dry unit weight and the plastic index. Meanwhile, the shear strength estimated by the developed model is similar with that of the direct shear test. Therefore, the developed model may be used to estimate the shear strength of soils in the same condition of study area.

Superior to traditional welded studs, high strength friction-grip bolted shear connectors facilitate the assembling and demounting of the composite members, which maximizes the potential for efficiency in the construction and retrofitting of new and old structures respectively. Hence, it is necessary to investigate the structural properties of high strength friction-grip bolts used in steel concrete composite beams. By means of push-out tests, an experimental study was conducted on post-installed high strength friction-grip bolts, considering the effects of different bolt size, concrete strength, bolt tensile strength and bolt pretension. The test results showed that bolt shear fracture was the dominant failure mode of all specimens. Based on the load-slip curves, uplifting curves and bolt tensile force curves between the precast concrete slab and steel beam obtained by push-out tests, the anti-slip performance of steel-concrete interface and shear behavior of bolt shank were studied, including the quantitative analysis of anti-slip load, and anti-slip stiffness, frictional coefficient, shear stiffness of bolt shank and ultimate shear capacity. Meanwhile, the interfacial anti-slip stiffness and shear stiffness of bolt shank were defined reasonably. In addition, a total of 56 push-out finite element models verified by the experimental results were also developed, and used to conduct parametric analyses for investigating the shear behavior of high-strength bolted shear connectors in steel-concrete composite beams. Finally, on ground of the test results and finite element simulation analysis, a new design formula for predicting shear capacity was proposed by nonlinear fitting, considering the bolt diameter, concrete strength and bolt tensile strength. Comparison of the calculated value from proposed formula and test results given in the relevant references indicated that the proposed formulas can give a reasonable prediction.

이 연구에서는 다양한 콘크리트를 갖는 전단계면에서의 전단마찰거동에 대한 횡보강근 및 압축응력의 영향을 평가하였다. 12개 직접전단실험체로부터 균열진전, 전단하중-상대 미끄러짐 관계, 균열발생시 전단응력, 최대전단내력 및 횡보강근의 전단저항력 등이 측정되었다. 실험결과 동일 전단하중에서 상대 미끄러짐 제어에 대한 횡보강근 배근형상 및 콘크리트 압축강도의 영향은 미미하였다. 작용 압축응력의 증가와 함께 콘크리트의 전단전달력을 증가하는 반면, 횡보강근의 전단전달력은 감소하였는데, 횡보강근의 전단저항은 배근형태에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. AASHTO-LRFD, Mattock 및 Hwang and Yang의 모델은 콘크리트의 전단마찰내력을 과소평가하였다. 반면, Hwang and Yang의 모델은 실험결과와의 비교에 대한 평균과 표준편차 값이 각각 1.02과 0.23으로서 기존 모델에 비해 다양한 변수의 영향을 적절히 고려하면서 콘크리트의 전단마찰내력을 잘 예측하였다.

The first thing in developing precast post-tensioned concrete frame system verify the shear resistance capacity of the beam-column connection at which the transfer of member forces become discontinuous. Complying with the necessity of such experimental research, shear tests have been performed for six test specimens which were cast and cured at Dong-Ah Concrete Manufacturing Company and post-tensioning at Concrete Laboratory of Inha University. Shear key and magnitude of post-tensioned force are taken test variables. From the test results, it has been observed that the shear resistance of the specimens attained to higher values than those of theoritical calculations based on the shear friction with shear friction coefficient being 0.6.

A series of experimental study are performed to evaluate the shear strength and friction properties of fiber-mixed soil as backfill material in reinforced earth wall. In order to evaluate the properties of shear strength the big-size direct shear tests are carried out and on the friction properties, the shear friction tests and the pull-out tests are performed. In the results, when the mixed ratio of the net type fiber is 0.2%, the reinforcement effect was better than the others. Also the reinforcement effect of the net type fiber was larger than that of the line type fiber.
