This study deals with the heat cycle characteristics of sleeve connector of aluminum stranded conductors steel reinforced(ACSR). In order to investigate the effect of heat cycle on the sleeve connector of stranded conductor, experimental study has been performed for both the temperature rising and electrical resistance of sleeve connector. Also, the effect of changes in surrounding temperature on the allowable current of sleeve connector was studied in order to investigate the influence on the connector size of conductor. Under the given test conditions of heat cycle, the temperature rising s decreased with the increase of sleeve size of conductor. The deviation of resistance of sleeve connector in conductor decreased with the increase in the size of sleeve connector.

This paper is to investigate the influence of the endface quality on the loss characteristics of a plastic optical fiber(POF) connector and the stability of new designed sleeve for in-car network service. Using the parameters of the surface roughness and applied load, insertion loss of connector is measured. Endface condition for optimizing the connection is presented by the surface roughness satisfying loss criteria and the stress for minimizing the loss, $R_{rms}=8nm$ and 19 MPa, respectively. By vibration test and dynamic loss measurement, we show the stability of the new designed sleeve.

According to previous report, aged sleeves for old transmission lines have variable defects such as biased installed case or corrosion of steel sleeve. Biased installed sleeve occupied 20 percent among the investigated aged sleeves. This defect must cause local heating of splice connector and limit power transmission capacity. It even inspire falling out of overhead conductor from sleeves. This paper studies thermal properties and tension for ACSR conductor in case of biased installed sleeve model. The detailed results were presented in the text.

OPTIC COMMUNICATION MIDDLE EMPLOYS LIGHT AS A MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION IS WIDELY USED AS MANY MIDDLE DISTANCE COMMUNICATION BECAUSE IT HAS MERITS OF LOW LOSS, WIDE OPTIC RANGE AND LARGE CAPACITATIZATION AND IS APPLIED TO OPTICAL UTILIZER NETWORK. LAN(LOCAL AREA NETWORK) FOR GREAT UTILIZER GROUPS. SO IN OPTICAL COMMUNICATION, THIS STUDY IS FOCUSED ON THE INVESTIGATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A CERAMIC SWITCH CONNECTING WITH OPTICAL FIBERS. THE USED MATERIAL AS A CERAMIC SWITCH WAS A PARTIALLY STABILIZED ZIRCONIA WHICH IS USED AS A COMPOSITION MATERIALS PRECISION FORMING AND SINTERING WERE INVESTIGATED.

For mass information transfer, the optical communication using optic fiber has been widely used. Especially, in the field of medical image, the large data is digitalized based on the standard image and it is used for telemedicine with this method. Therefore, to transfer the large amount of data fast and effectively POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) can be used and the development of optic connector for connection between POFs is very important. In this study, for stable optical coupling of POF optic fiber Ferrule and Sleeve were designed and produced by considering the bond stability and the insertion loss according to the physical contact and roughness profile was evaluated. As a result of examining the insertion loss by physical contact method of two optic fibers, it showed the loss was about 1.895dB. According to the results from studying the condition of grinding section for POF mass production, the mass production condition was established as POF profile roughness of 6nm and the loss of 0.2dB or lower by controlling the film size and time step by step.

Experimental studies were conducted on 36 grouted splices to investigate their mechanical performance under four loading schemes: (1) incremental tensile loading, (2) repeated tensile loading, (3) cyclic loading at high stress, and (4) cyclic loading at large strain. Load-deformation responses of the grouted splices under cyclic loadings were featured with pinching effect and stiffness degradation compared to those responses under tensile loadings. The shape of the hysteresis loops of load-deformation curves was similar to that under incremental tensile loading. For the purpose of structural analysis, stress-strain relationships were presented for grouted splices under various loadings.

The purpose of this study was to contribute to the field application cost effectively and reasonably by developing the functional piles that make up for the defects of PHC piles. CFP (Concrete Filled Pretensioned Spun High Strength Concrete Pile with Ring type Composite shear connectors) piles developed in this study increases the compressive stress through enlarged cross section by rearranging composite shear connectors and filling the hollow part of PHC pile with concrete. And it improved shear and bending performance placing the rebar (H13-8ea) within the PHC pile and the hollow part of PHC pile of rebar (H19-8ea). In addition, the composite shear connectors were placed for the composite behavior between PHC pile and filled concrete. Placing Rebars (H13-8ea) of PHC pile into composite shear connector holes are sleeve-type mechanical coupling method that filling the concrete to the gap of the two members. Nonlinear finite element analyzes were performed to verify the performance of shear and bending moments and it deduced the spacing of the composite shear connectors. Through a various interpretation of CFP piles, it's proved that the CFP pile can increase the shear and bending stiffness of the PHC pile effectively. Therefore, this can be utilized usefully on the construction sites.

In order to reuse existing onshore turbine foundations, it is important to redesign and reinforce the existing foundations according to the upgraded tower diameter and turbine load. In the present study, a slab extension reinforcement method and structure details of an anchorage part were examined in consideration of the reuse of spread footings, which are the most widely used foundation type in onshore wind turbine foundations. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the load resistance performance of a reinforced spread footing according to structure details of an anchorage part. The results showed that (1) the strength of an anchorage part could be increased by more than 30 % by adding reinforcement bars in the anchorage part, (2) pile-sleeves attached to an anchor ring contributed to an increase in rotational stiffness by preventing shear slip behavior between the anchor ring and the concrete, and (3) slab connectors contributed to an increase in the strength and deformation capacity by preventing the separation of new and old concrete slabs.

In reinforced concrete structure, rebar connection method should be considered because of its structural role to resist the tensile stress and its structural load transmission with concrete in the concrete structure. Lapped splice and mechanical sleeve type connector have been traditionally used to connect rebar in the concrete structures. In this study, to examine the mechanical and failure behaviors of rebar bar connected by taper type coupler in the concrete member depending on connection type and condition, tensile tests of steel rebar with taper type coupler and flexible loading tests of concrete beams were conducted. Its tensile strength and flexible strength of the rebar connected by taper type coupler were compared and evaluated by mechanical behaviors of rebar. From this study, steel rebar connected by taper type coupler showed it has similar mechanical performance comparing with unconnected rebar, thus taper type coupler can be used in the rebar fabrication of reinforced concrete structure.
