Geopolymer is a sustainable concrete, replaces traditional cement concrete using alternative sustainable construction materials as binders and alkaline solution as alkaline activator. This paper presents the strength characteristics of geopolymer concrete (GPC) developed with fly ash and GGBS as binders, combined Sodium silicate ($Na_2SiO_3$) and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution as alkaline activators. The parameters considered in this research work are proportions of fly ash and GGBS (70-30 and 50-50), curing conditions (Outdoor curing and oven curing at $600^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours), two grades of concrete (GPC20 and GPC50). The mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength along with durability characteristics were determined. For studying the durability characteristics of geopolymer concrete 5% $H_2SO_4$ solutions was used and the specimens were immersed up to an exposure period of 56 days. The main parameters considered in this study were Acid Mass Loss Factor (AMLF), Acid Strength Loss Factor (ASLF) and products of degradation. The results conclude that GPC with sufficient strength can be developed even under Outdoor curing using fly ash and GGBS combination i.e., without the need for any heat curing.

Dent resistance is an important characteristic to avoid damage on automotive outer panels. From a practical point of view, dents can be caused in a number of ways. Considering doors as an example, denting can occur from stone impacts or from the careless opening of an adjacently parked vehicle door. Denting can occur where the door surface is smooth and may not have sufficient curvature to resist dent. These exterior body parts are designed to improve dent resistance using a combination of work hardening and bake hardening. In brief, dent is affected by the shape of the parts and the material properties such as yield strength, strain and thickness. In this work, forming of door outer panel is investigated by Taguchi method. Main parameters are yield strength, thickness, blank size, blank holding force and so on. For the given value of design parameters, forming analysis of the thirty six cases are carried out according to L18 orthogonal array. After comparing the performance by simple conversion of simulation results into dent resistance, the final suggestion of the forming parameters is verified for the best improvement of dent resistance.

Determination of design parameters of composite ground including colluvial soil layer is far difficult because the maximum particle size of such a soil is remarkably large and particle distribution may vary from area to area. The stress-strain behavior of colluvial soils is in fact dependent upon the engineering characteristics at the boundary between coarse and fine materials. However, strength parameters are in general determined based on the characteristics of fine material, which causes an underestimation of such parameters. In this study, strength parameters of colluvial soil are evaluated by means of BIMROCK model curve. In addition, limit equilibrium analysis is carried out to verify the rational shear strength evaluation.

This research aims to study the effects of various welding parameters in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process on welding penetration, microstructure and hardness of AS3578-A350 high strength steel with the thickness of 10 mm. The welding process parameters were a welding current of 100-200A, an arc voltage of 20-30V, a welding speed of 20-60 cm/min and a gas shielding type of Ar and $Ar+CO_2$. The summarized experimental results are as follows. An increase of the welding current and voltage affected to increase the penetration depth of the joint. However, when the welding speed was decreased, it increased the penetration depth of the joint. Using the Ar gas for shielding the weld area, produced the higher penetration depth and the less narrow weld bead than the joint that was shielded by the mix gas of $Ar+CO_2$. The variation of the welding process parameters affected to produce the various microstructures of weld metal and heat affected zone and also showed the various kind of hardness along the weld joint.

Recently in spite of Development of Investigation machine, in Application of Geotechnical Properties by empirical recommendation to the Slope Stability Analysis. It is generally Application of convenience and conservative Geotechnical Properties by Borehole Shear Test(BST) in Representative Zone that Non-Division of Increase as the depth of Strength Parameters In Deep Weathered Zone. Therefore, it is become environment pollution and Non-Economical Slope Design to Application of convenience and conservative Geotechnical Properties. The production mechanism of Deep Weathered Zone is tend to Weathering Degree low and Strength increase by increase as the depth. it is realistic design that Division of Deep Weathered Zone and application Geotechnical Properties of Each Layer. In this Paper, Determined The Relationship of Strength Parameters between Standard Penetration Test(SPT), Borehole Shear Test(BST) and empirical recommendation also Applyed each strength parameters of divided zone to the Slope Stability Analysis by continuous Borehole Shear Test(BST) in Deep Weathered Zone during design of The 2nd Bridge Connection Road of Incheon International Airport.

This study is performed on the acoustic emission parameters involved in a burst test for a CNG-vehicle fuel tank. A resonant AE sensor with a central frequency of 150 kHz was attached on the composite materials in the center of the fuel tank. The analysis of AE parameters such as hit, amplitude, count, duration, risetime, and signal strength during load holding was performed. The total count and total signal strength are effective tools for the damage evaluation of a CNG fuel tank.

The non-linear Hoek-Brown failure criterion has been widely accepted and applied to evaluate the stability of rock slopes under plane-strain conditions. This paper presents a kinematic approach of limit analysis to assessing the static and seismic stability of three-dimensional (3D) rock slopes using the generalized Hoek-Brown failure criterion. A tangential technique is employed to obtain the equivalent Mohr-Coulomb strength parameters of rock material from the generalized Hoek-Brown criterion. The least upper bounds to the stability number are obtained in an optimization procedure and presented in the form of graphs and tables for a wide range of parameters. The calculated results demonstrate the influences of 3D geometrical constraint, non-linear strength parameters and seismic acceleration on the stability number and equivalent strength parameters. The presented upper-bound solutions can be used for preliminary assessment on the 3D rock slope stability in design and assessing other solutions from the developing methods in the stability analysis of 3D rock slopes.

To evaluate the strength of square reinforced concrete shot columns, thirty specimens were manufactured and tested under monotonically increasing concentric compression. The test parameters included the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement($\rho$h = 0.49~2.65), and concrete compressive strength (234, 437, 704 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). Test results are shown that : (1) Behavior of high -strength concrete column is improved by providing increased volumetric ratio; and (2) ACI, Eq. is not proper to evaluate HSC short column strength.

To evaluate the cooling rate of clinker quantitatively, several clinkers with different cooling rate were made in the laboratory. The X-ray diffraction pattern of Ferrite 002 reflection were measured and the parameters were calculated by using split type pseudo-Voigt function. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the Ferrite phase in the clinkers from cement manufacturing plant were analyzed by using the parameters and the analysis program was developed to calculate the cooling rate quantitatively. The cooling rate coefficients of the clinkers were calculated by using the profile fitting method of the program and the influence of cooling rate on strength was evaluated. The results show that there is a close relation between the cooling rate of clinker and the strength of cement.
