The objective of this research is to provide better knowledge on the behavior of strong axis SRC column-RC beam joint, supported by experimental results, that can be broadly applicable to many structures. For this purpose, firstly literature reviews and field survey were made to classify the most commonly used for these types of joints. Then, experimental program was designed and performed including 6 SRC column-RC beam joint specimens designed with various joint details. Using the experimental results obtained from the quasi-static cyclic tests, structural performances of the joints such as hysteretic curves, maximum strength capacities, strength degradation beyond the maximum strength, ductilities, and energy dissipation capacities were investigated. Test results showed that specimens with wide beam shape (RCW-P, RCW-W, RCW-F) and T beam shape (RCT-W) showed better structural performances than the bracket type specimens (HBR-L, HBR-S). These specimens also revealed to have higher strength capacities than the nominal design strength. However, H beam bracket type specimens (HBR-L, HBR-S) need further study both analytically and experimentally to verify the reason for unexpected structural performances.

ErmSF is one of the four antibiotic resistance factor proteins expressed by Streptomyces fradiae, antibiotic tylosin producer, which renders $MLS_B$ (macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B) antibiotic resistance through dimethylating A2058 of 23S rRNA, thereby reducing the affinity of antibiotic to ribosome. Unlike other Erm proteins, ErmSF harbors long N-terminal end region. To investigate its role in enzyme activity, mutant ErmSF deleted of 1-38 amino acids was overexpressed and activity in vivo and in vitro was observed. In vitro enzymatic assay showed that mutant protein exhibited reduced activity by 20% compared to the wild type enzyme. Due to the reduced activity of the mutant protein, cells expressing mutant protein showed weaker resistance to erythromycin than cells with wild type enzyme. Presumably, the decrease in enzyme activity was caused by the hindrance in substrate binding and (or) product release, not by defect in the methyl group transfer occurred in active site.

Steel fiber is high stiffness and large weight. So, Pumping hose to rupture of the safety management is difficult. Steel fiber caused by corrosion of the deterioration of durability and high-rebound losses are needed for the improvements. Thus, the revised regulations in 2009 by a steel fiber to reinforce other materials is possible. Variety of fiber reinforcement material for concrete review of applicability is needed. Steel fiber strength than the other fibers is large and by the geometry of the fibers are attached to improve performance. However, compared to steel fiber organic fibers and low modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of fiber and agglomeration occurs in the concrete to be used as reinforcement material is difficult. In this regard, the present study as a single object in the micro-fiber bouquet sharp entanglement through make muck attach surface area, distributed fibers from surfactant of the surface enhanced polyamide fibers, steel fiber and PP fiber reinforced concrete by comparing the scene to provide a basis for the use.

The purpose of this present study was to develop a new way of self-curing acrylic resin, using commercially available polyphosphate, Calgon, which is known to be antimicrobial and safe. For the study, polyphosphate(polyP) was blended with acrylic powder and devided into four groups as follows: no polyP(control), 1% polyP, 2% polyP, and 3% polyP. For the experiment, Streptococcus mutans GS5, Streptococcus sobrinus 6715, Streptococcus gordonii G9B and Challis, Porphyromonas gingivalis 2561, and Candida albicans ATCC 90027 were used. Resin specimens in each group were tested in vitro for the purpose of investigating the effect of polyP on the microbial attachment, growth and hydrophobicity of the resin surface. The results were as follows. 1. PolyP added to the acrylic resin decreased attachment of S. mutans GS5, S. sobrinus 6715, S. gordonii G9B. The greater binding inhibition was found in acrylic resin polymerized with polyP at higher concentrations. 2. The addition of polyP to acrylic resin failed to significantly affect the growth of the tested microorganisms. 3. The addition of polyP to acrylic resin seemed to reduce hydrophobicity of the acrylic resin. PolyP in acrylic resin does not seem to exert a direct antibacterial activity, but rather inhibit attachment of oral bacteria, especially mutans streptococci to saliva-coated acrylic resin. The acrylic resin reduces attachment of streptococci may be due to the decreased hydrophobicity caused by polyP added to the resin. PolyP may be included to acrylic resin to inhibit dental caries which often occurs when removable acrylic resin appliance is placed.

Experiments were divided into two parts; one part is to understand the basic properties of high flowable VA/VeoVa-modified cement mortar with different polymer cement ratio (P/C) and the weight ratio of fine aggregate to cement (C:F) and the other part is to investigate the effect of surface water spread on the concrete substrate on adhesion in tension. To understand the basic performance, the specimens were prepared with proportionally mixing VA/VeoVa redispersible powder, ordinary portland cement, silica sand, superplasticizer and viscosity enhancing agent. Here, P/C were 10, 20, 30, 50 and 75% and C:F were 1:1 and 1:3. As the change of P/C and C:F unit weight, flow test, crack resistance and adhesion in tension were measured. Three specimens with good adhesion properties were selected among specimens with different P/C and C:F. The effect of surface water evenly sprayed on concrete substrate on adhesive strength is investigated. The results show that surface water on concrete substrate increases the adhesion in tension of high flowable VA/VeoVa-modified cement mortar and additionally improves the flowability compared to the non-sprayed case.

In this study, as part of the development of a monitoring system for the efficient maintenance of steel pipes, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate the performance of steel pipes treated with modified polyethylene coating. In the case of the conventional mechanical pre-coating method, there was a deterioration in polyethylene adhesion during expansion testing, which led to the application of a chemical pre-treatment process using a calcium-mixed phosphate zinc film to resolve this issue. SEM and EDX analyses showed that the densest structure was observed at a Zn/Ca ratio of 1.0, and improved heat resistance compared to the conventional method was confirmed. Additionally, to prevent coating detachment during expansion, an evaluation of adhesion and elongation was conducted on steel pipes with modified polyethylene coating, incorporating materials such as elastomers based on maleic anhydride grafting, metal oxides, blocking agents, and slip agents. Experimental results showed that the specimen (S4) containing all modified materials exhibited more than a 25% performance improvement compared to the specimen (S2) containing only metal oxides. Lastly, the development and performance evaluation of wedge-shaped socketing and pressing wheels, which are part of the pipe fixing accessories, were conducted to prevent surface coating damage on the completed pipes.

본 연구에서는 온실의 난방에 사용되는 열풍식 난방기 등의 배기 연통에 부착하여 배출되는 가스로부터 열을 회수할 수 있는 장치를 개발함에 있어서 연통과 열회수 장치간의 열 교환 성능을 3가지 상이하게 설계된 열 교환 장치(Fig. 1 참조)에 대하여 실험적으로 비교 분석하였다. Fig. 1-(a)는 열 교회수기 개발을 위해 기존에 사용한 장치로서 회수용 공기의 흐름방향이 배기 연통과 직각을 이룬 형식이며, Fig. 1-(b) 및 (c)는 열 회수 성능 개선을 위해 새로 설계된 형식으로서 각각 열 교환 파이프의 배치형식이 상이하나 회수용 공기의 흐름방향이 180도로 굴곡되는 U-자형 흐름이 이루어지도록 하였다. 실험에 사용된 공기 순환 펜의 용량은 AB-형의 경우에는 최대 25㎥/min이고, C-형 및 D-형의 경우는 공히 최대 42㎥/min으로서 송풍전압 조절장치를 이용하여 풍량을 연속적으로 조절할 수 있도록 하였다. U-자형 흐름형식인 C-형 및 D-형의 경우 흐름 방향의 굴곡으로 인한 마찰저항이 있을 것으로 예상은 했으나 당초 예상했던 것에 비해 마찰 저항이 지나치게 큰 것으로 밝혀졌다. 비록 설계된 열교환 튜브의 배열형식별 열 교환기의 외부 모양이 달라 회수기의 표면을 통한 대류 열 교환이 다소 차이를 보일 것으로 예상되지만 본 연구에서는 열 회수장치에 내장된 열 교환 튜브부분만을 통한 열 회수율을 중심으로 형식간의 성능을 비교하였다. 실험을 통하여 측정된 자료중 대표적인 예는 Fig-2와 같으며, 측정자료를 기준으로 분석된 열회수 성능에 대한 설계형식별 비교 결과는 Table-1과 같으며, 분석된 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다: 1. AB-형 열회수시스템의 경우, 초기 투자비용과 현재의 농용 전력요금 하에서 에너지 절감규모를 비교하면, 대체로 1년을 전후하여 투자에 대한 보상이 충분히 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 2. C-형 및 D-형 열회수시스템의 경우, 열 회수용 공기의 흐름방향이 동일 공간내에서 180도 굴절됨으로서 저항이 크게 발생되어 송풍 펜의 전압 증가에 따른 유속증가가 미미하였으며, 굴절형의 열교환장치는 비록 열교환면적은 직선형과 유사하더라도 송풍 펜의 공기저항이 커져서 결국 열 회수성능이 기대했던 것만큼 크게 개선되지는 못했다. 3. 송풍펜의 용량은 AB-형에 사용된 용량인 25㎥/min 전후가 적절할 것으로 판단되며, 적정 송풍 펜용량 하에서 열 회수성능은 굴절형이 직선형보다 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 곡선형은 물론 직선형에서도 열교환 튜브의 배치밀도, 튜브 길이 및 두께 등의 변화에 따른 최적화 연구가 수반되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

An AU-composite beam based on U-shaped steel beams and steel plate anchors of type A was developed. The composite beam reduced the height of the building floor and construction cost. In addition, it decreased the length of construction work, and improved the flexural strength and stiffness as a form of tubes. In this study, AU-composite beams were tested directly and their performance was evaluated through bending experiments. The strength of the specimens was increased initially by linear loads and reached a maximum strength due to destruction of the concrete slab. All of the experiments showed more than 85% of the maximum stress and performed gentle movement. In addition, there was good composite behavior with the steel plate anchor that had excellent composite effects and reached full strength until the maximum strength was reached. When the thickness of the steel plate was increase, the flexural stiffness and strength of the specimen were improved. Therefore, the flexural strength of AU-composite beams can be estimated using the flexural strength formula according to the KBC 2016.

In this study is performed to investigate the pumping characteristics of three-stage disk-type molecular drag pump (DTDP). The experiments are measured using five vacuum pressure gauges in the positions for rotors of DTDP. The experimented DTDP is consisted of three rotors and four stator. In the DTDP, spiral channels of three rotors are cut on the both upper surface and lower surface of a rotating disk, and corresponding stator is a planar disk. The experiments are performed in the outlet pressure range of $0.2{\sim}533\;Pa$. The pressure of each rotors are measured under the various condition of outlet pressure and throughputs, and nitrogen gas is used for test gas. In the numerical study, the pumping characteristics of each rotor are studied for the variation of throughputs in the all rotating channel. Pressure contour and velocity are obtained by the numerical simulation.
