As structures are getting super-rise and large-sized, introducing the construction methods such as prefabrication of bar-meshes and complex method are being actively discussed to pursue the high quality of reinforced concrete, the simplification of field works, and the reduction of duration, as well as the study on how to connect reinforcing rods, which occurs while applying the same methods, is in progress Also, the pressure welded joint is a kind of method that heats the ends of reinforced bars locally and joint them, and after the pressure welding, the vulnerable part in the reinforced bar occur. Thus, in the construction field, the throughout quality control is necessary because of the delayed duration and the lowered construct ability. In this study, of the traditional lap splice method and the mechanical splice one, the screw coupler, we tried to look into through experiments the prefabrication method of bar-meshes, a typical joint method usually used for the joint parts for PSC structures applying the reinforced bar with its big diameter, and a newly-developed up-set coupler method. And we also examined the characteristic of tensile.

The application of seismic separation joints that can improve the deformation capacity of piping is an effective way to improve seismic performance. Seismic separation joints capable of axial expansion and bending deformation are installed where deformation is expected and used for the purpose of safely protecting the piping. Bellows are flexible and have low stiffness, so they can be used as seismic separation joints because they have excellent ability to respond to relatively large deformation. In this study, the seismic performance and limit state for bending deformation of 2-ply and 3-ply bellows specimens were evaluated. Seismic performance was evaluated by applying an increasing cyclic load to consider low-cycle fatigue due to seismic load. In order to confirm the margin for the limit state of the evaluated seismic performance, an experiment was conducted in which a cyclic loading of constant amplitude was applied. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the bellows specimen was made of stainless steel and had a high elongation, so that the 2-ply bellows specimen had the limit performance of resisting within 3 cycles even at the maximum forced displacement of the 3-ply bellows specimen.

In this study, the strength of magnesium-GFRP/epoxy single-lap bonded joints are experimentally evaluated with different end shapes. In order to achieve this, four different single-lap joints with different end shapes are fabricated and the failure load is measured under tensile loading tests. From the test results, the single-lap joint with a square end exhibits the lowest failure load while the single-lap joint with reverse tapering and a spew fillet has the highest stress values. It has 11.1% higher failure strength than the single-lap joint with a square end.

In this study, seismic strengthening performance of RC circular columns reinforced with high ductile PET and hybridized fibers(HF, PET + aramid) strand was experimentally compared and investigated. As a result, the maximum flexural strength and ductility capacity of all reinforced columns were improved than control column and fiber rupture did not occur at the ultimate stage. In addition, the resistive strength and displacement of the PET sheet 25 layers reinforcing column and the HF strand 1 layer reinforcing column were almost similar, so that 1 layer of HF strand showed the same lateral confinement effect as the PET sheet 25 layers. As a result of this experimental study, PET is considered to be suitable as seismic reinforcement material for RC structures in terms of flexural strength and ductility. However, in order to increase the possibility of application in the field, it is necessary to use a prefabricated PET sheet such as HF used in this study. The durability of PET needs investigation in the future.

The dome structure has been treated in two layers among the techniques that have formed the space in Baroque architecture and the light used to be manipulated to create the openness of space and the fantasy of atmosphere. Such an expression technique has influenced on the expression of space in the architecture of New York Five in the 1960s to 1970s and the concept of multiple space embellished with various layers has appeared in the architectural concept of New York Five; meanwhile, the common meaning with the technique of double layers and the ways of phenomenal expressions that have recognized the existence of space in the Baroque period has been achieved through the light, immaterial organism. It means that the existing concept of light limited simply to the plane elements of brightness and darkness has been treated as a formative element that has defined and adjusted the visual expansion and reduction of the space Itself and special existence and has been used as an element of the media of spatial structure. In addition, these elements have been treated as another solution for the emotional aspects of space. Therefore, this study compares the plastic and formative meaning of the Baroque architecture with that of New York Five in terms of the relation between space and light and examines them; in doing so, it will give a clue to understand various and new space expression techniques to many architects and space designers who have led modern architecture.

When RC structures are repaired or strengthened using FRP, it is required to cure for some Period under certain air temperature and then it is hopeful to avoid detrimental action caused by external vibration sources during that period. Therefore, an effect of repeated loading during Carbon Fiber Sheet(CFS) strengthening Process on the strengthening efficiency is studied through an experiment for a number of RC beams. Experimental results showed that the curing time of 24 hours without any repeated loading after CFS attachment were recommended for 1 ply strengthening, and 12 hours for 2 plies strengthening.

One of the problems for practical use of fiber-reinforced plastics is the performance degradation by fatigue damage in the joints. The study is to develop a nondestructive technique for real-time evaluation of adhesively bonded composite-metal joints. From the prior study we confirmed that the bonding strength can be estimated from the correlation between the qualify of bonded parts and AUP's. We obtained a curve showing the correlation between the degree of fatigue damage and AUP's calculated from signals acquired during fatigue loading of single-lap and double-lap joints of CFRP and Al6061. The curve is an analogy to the one showing stiffness reduction ($E/E_o$) of polymer matrix composites by fatigue damage. From those facts, it is plausible to predict the degree of fatigue damage in real-time. Amplitude and AUP2 appeared to be optimal parameters to provide more reliable results for single-lap joints whereas Amplitude and AUP2 did for double-lap joints. It is recommended to select optimal parameters for different geometries in the application for real structures.

Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) sheets have been widely used to retrofit and rehabilitate RC structures, while in case of retrofitting steel structures, there are no codes and researches. It stems from configuration of member and characteristics of bonding behavior. This study focused on the static behavior of steel beams reinforcement by AFRP sheets. The main objective of the experimental programme was the evaluation of the force transfer mechanism, the increment of the beam load carrying capacity and the bending stiffness. A bending test was conducted on a H-shaped steel beam, with aramid FRP sheets bonded to its flanges. The mid-span deflection and the strain from three points along AFRP sheets were recorded Test results exhibit that the increment of the load-carrying capacity with reference to a mid-span deflection level of 15 mm(1/125mm of the clear span) was equal to 9.4% and for the two layers case, an elastic stiffness increment is slightly higher than one layer case.

In recent investigations, reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Carbon Fiber Sheets (CFS) subjected to fatigue loading were reported to be failed at the ends of CFS by its debonding. U-shaped CFS were attached to both ends of the CFS when fatigue tests on strengthened beams were conducted to delay and/or prevent fatigue failures of adhesive interface. The experimental parameters of this study were the usage of anchorage at the ends of CFS, the number of CFS layers, and the applied load levels of 60%~90% of the static ultimate load obtained from the static tests. The failure modes and the load cycle-deflection relations were observed and discussed from the experimental results. Those results also showed that the U-shaped anchoring system changes the fatigue failure modes and influences greatly on the fatigue capacity of the strengthened beams.

실리콘 반도체의 Ultra large scale integration (ULSI) 기술 및 소자의 나노스케일화에 따라 배선 금속 물질로 사용하던 알루미늄 보다 낮은 비저항을 가지면서 금속의 전자이동효과에 잘 견딜 수 있는 차세대 배선 물질로서 구리가 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만 구리의 경우, 높은 확산성을 가지기 때문에 열처리 과정에서 구리 실리사이드가 형성되는 등 소자의 신뢰성 및 성능을 감소시키므로, 이를 방지하기 위한 확산 방지막이 필요하다. IC의 배선에서 사용되는 기존의 확산 방지막은 Ta, TaN, TiN, TiW, TaSiN 등으로, 대부분 금속으로 이루어져 있기 때문에 증착 장비를 이용하여 두께를 조절하는 기술, 박막의 질을 최적화 하는 과정이 필요하며, 증착 과정 중에서 불순물이 함께 증착되거나 실리사이드가 형성되는 등의 단점을 가진다. 구리 기반의 배선 물질에서 문제될 수 있는 또 한가지의 이슈는 소자의 나노스케일화에 따른 배선 선폭의 감소로 인하여 확산 방지막 두께 또한 감소되어야 하는 것으로서, 확산 방지막의 두께가 감소함에 따른 방지막의 균일성 감소, 연속성 등이 큰 문제로 작용할 수 있어 이를 해결하기 위한 새로운 기술 또는 새로운 확산 방지막 물질의 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 구리/실리콘 구조에서 금속의 실리콘 박막 내로의 확산 및 실리사이드 형성을 방지하기 위하여 그래핀을 확산 보호막으로서 사용하였다. 그래핀은 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 한 겹에서 수 겹으로 성장되었으며, PMMA 물질을 이용하여 실리콘 기판에 전사되었다. 구리/그래핀/실리콘 구조의 샘플을 500 ~ 800도의 온도 범위에서 열처리 하였고, 구리 실리사이드 형성 여부를 XRD로 분석하였다. 또한 TEM 분석을 통해 구리 실리사이드의 형성 모양을 관측하였다.
