Two types of conformal load-bearing antenna structure (CLAS) were designed with microwave composite laminates and Nomex honeycomb cores, to give both structural rigidity and good electrical performance. One is 4$\times$8 array for Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) system and the other is $5\times2$ array for wireless LAN system. Design was based on wide bandwidth, high polarization purity, low loss and good structural rigidity. We studied the design, fabrication and structural/electrical performances of the antenna structures. The flexural behavior was observed under a 3-point bending test, an impact test, and a buckling test. Electrical measurements were in good agreement with simulation results and these complex antenna structures have good flexural characteristics. The design of this antenna structure is extended to give a useful guide for sandwich panel manufacturers as well as antenna designers.

This paper presents on the structural behavior of the the methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA) double wide flanged the glass fiber-reinforced polymer(GFRP) pipe composite structures for the manhole raise. The evaluation of structural performance on this composite structure was conducted by the axial load, fatigue load, and ultimate load test. The assessment indicates that the MMA double wide flanged GFRP pipe composite structures was confirmed safety, durability and reliability in result as expected. It was found that this composite structure was able to short working times to around 30-50% and construction costs to around 10-23% with compare other construction methods. Also, environmental pollution and civil complaints will be prevented because there will be no longer any noises, vibrations, dust, or construction wastes.

The Pseudodynamic test is a new experimental technique for simulating the earthquake response of structures or structural components in the time domain. It is especially efficient for testing structures that are too large, heavy or strong to be tested on a shaking table. But the obtained responses in the Pseudodynamic test are distorted by the experimental errors inevitably during control and measurement procedures. The studies are to investigate the effects of the experimental errors on the Pseudodynamic responses and apply a correction method to the Pseudodynamic testing algorithm. It is shown that the corrected responses using the Equivalent Energy Compensation Method are in a good correlation with the theoretical ones. Thus, the corrected Pseudodynamic responses could be reliable for evaluating the seismic performance of structural systems.

The actual power performance of historical structural change tests are compared under various alternatives. The tests of interest are F, CUSUM, MOSUM, Moving Estimates and empirical distribution function tests with both recursive and ordinary least-squares residuals. Our comparison of the structural tests involves limiting distributions under the hypothesis, the ability to detect the alternative hypotheses under one or double structural change, and smooth change in parameters. Even though no version is uniformly superior to the other, the knowledge about the properties of those tests and connections between these tests can be used in practical structural change tests and in further research on other change tests.

This study developed the shape of low depth new shape high performance hybrid composite beam which is taken strengths and compensated the defect of composite beam and hybrid beam. Also, this study performed the monotonic test to evaluate the bending performance of Low depth shape by creating 12 bending specimens. Bending performance test result showed that capacity of the beam was increased stably. Also, it is possible to apply the existing evaluation equation(KBC 2009) of composite beam. Mechanical properties and structural performance of materials are considered when high-strength steel ($F_y=650MPa$) is applied to the bottom plate.

In this study, we tested to develop and apply structural insulation performance improvement concrete to field, which had compressive strength in 24 MPa and thermal conductivity twice as much as normal concrete. After experiment about slump and air contents, combination product of Plain and calcined diatomite powder showed reduction of slump and air contents and combination product with micro foam cell admixture, we cannot find result of slump and air contents reduction. Unit weight of combination product with insulation performance improvement materials decreased more than that of Plain. In the test of compressive strength, compressive strength of insulation performance improvement concrete decreased more than that of Plain but was content with 24 MPa. thermal conductivity of insulation performance improvement concrete tended to decrease. Freezing and thawing resistance of insulation performance improvement concrete was similar to that of Plain. In carbonation resistance test, combination product with calcined diatomite powder showed the result which was similar to that of Plain. In carbonation resistance test, combination product with micro foam cell admixture showed a increase compared to that of Plain and length variation of combination product generally increased.

Determining the hysteretic energy demand and dissipation capacity and level of damage of the structure to a predefined earthquake ground motion is a highly non-linear problem and is one of the questions involved in predicting the structure's response for low-performance levels (life safe, near collapse, collapse) in performance-based earthquake resistant design. Neural Network (NN) analysis offers an alternative approach for investigation of non-linear relationships in engineering problems. The results of NN yield a more realistic and accurate prediction. A NN model can help the engineer to predict the seismic performance of the structure and to design the structural elements, even when there is not adequate information at the early stages of the design process. The principal aim of this study is to develop and test multi-layered feedforward NNs trained with the back-propagation algorithm to model the non-linear relationship between the structural and ground motion parameters and the hysteretic energy demand in steel moment resisting frames. The approach adapted in this study was shown to be capable of providing accurate estimates of hysteretic energy demand by using the six design parameters.

Different from new or reconstruction of an apartment housing, the structural safety in the remodelling construction can be obtained through the repair and strengthening process based on the safety diagnosis and evaluation of structural performance. In this study, structural performance of existing members such as, reinforced concrete slabs, beams and columns are investigated through experimental tests. The structural members were obtained from the existing apartment housing which will be demolished. Test results showed that most specimens have a sufficient structural capacity except for some special case, for example, specimens with severe cracks or concrete loss due to improper casting. This same severe deteriorated or defective structure members originated from bad concrete casting or careless construction process should be repaired and strengthened before an remodelling construction.

In our country, domestic species can not be used as a structural member because we have not yet grading system. So, to utilize as a basic data of grading system, bending test and numerical modelling on structural member were conducted in this study. 35 of Douglas-fir, 2" ${\times}$ 6", span 2.4 m were tested for the bending properties, and Ansys software was used to analyze the numerical modelling on the structural members. The data of knots were inspected and applied in numerical modelling. To obtain the accuracy of analysis, nonlinear numerical analysis was carried out instead of linear numerical analysis. Ultimate load had a wide range from 4883N to 11,738 N, and maximum deformation also had a range from 26 mm to 68 mm. Average of ultimate load was 8,616 N, and that of maximum deformation was 48 mm. The distinctive features of failure types were simple tension type and cross-grain tension type. Ulitmate load and maximum deformation from numerical modelling were 7,504 N and 37 mm. The numerical modelling drawn by this study is available to all species, and reasonable prediction on the bending performance is possible with only some material properties.

This paper introduces the development process of NCC(New Concrete Cutting) system and analyzes first verification test. Based on the first verification test results, some problems of NCC system have been newly modified. We carry out the second verification test. We tried to verify cutting performance and dust control efficiency of NCC system through the cutting test of concrete bridge piers. In particular, this verification test strives to solve the problem of concrete dust, which is the biggest problem of dry cutting method. The remaining dust problems in cutting section tried to solve through this verification test. This verification test of the NCC system shows that the dust problem of dry cutting method is closely controlled and solved. In conclusion, the proposed NCC method is superior to the dry cutting method in all aspects, including cutting performance, dust vacuum efficiency and cooling effect. The proposed NCC system is believed to be able to provide eco-friendly cutting technology to various industries, such as the removal of the SOC structures and the dismantling of nuclear plants, which have recently become a hot issue in the field of concrete cutting.
