In this study, numerical analyses were used to investigate the performance of a coupling control method for the dynamic responses of adjacent buildings under multiple hazards. Numerical simulations were done using the earthquake loads of regions with strong seismicity in Los Angeles, California, and the wind loads in regions with strong winds in Charleston, North Carolina. The artificial earthquake and wind loads were made using SIMQKE and Kaimal Spectrum based on ASCE 7-10. Ten-story and twenty-story adjacent buildings were selected as example structures, and nonlinear hysteretic dampers were used to connect them. The Bouc-Wen model was used to model the nonlinear hysteretic dampers. The results show that the proposed control method could effectively reduce the dynamic responses, and the optimal control designs were different for each hazard.

This paper presents an analytical model on nonlinear hysteretic behavior of hybrid steel beam with reinforced concrete ends. The modeling method and appropriate coefficients with IDARC2D were proposed from the comparison with previous test results. Since the polygonal model of IDARC2D nay overestimate, new analytical model with the initial stiffness reduction coefficient was proposed. The hysteretic coefficients for the analysis of the hybrid steel beam with reinforced concrete ends were also presented. The analytical results were compared with previous experiments. The initial stiffness and the strength were predicted with less than 5% error and 10% error, respectively.

The detailed production traceability information is a fundamental element in successful introduction and revitalization of traceability system. In this paper, we propose a production traceability information gathering system which is based on handwritten data digitalization technology in agro-livestock products. By the proposed system, we can effectively gather the detailed production traceability information with digital pen and the management ledger of paper document type by only writing the ledger. The server of the system generates the same digital image as the ledger and converts the handwritten data into digital text to insert the data into the database. Because the system is superior to data gathering system based on PC, PDA and touch screen in mobility, usability, data input speed, suitability in agro-livestock environment, it is possible to effectively gather traceability information of high quality by users even if they have low information ability and insufficient time to input data. We expect that the handwritten data digitalization technology is used to gather document based information in stage of manufacturing, distribution and marketing. In addition, this technology is applied to implementing advanced traceability system with RFID/USN based systems.

Hysteresis is a common feature exhibited in hydraulic properties of an unsaturated soil. This study focuses on hysteresis observed in a compacted weathered granite subgrade soils based on the pressure plate laboratory tests. It was found that the Soil-Water Characteristics Curve of a soil is hysteretic and unique. The results also show that the wetting and drying curves predicted using the Fredlund and Xing model is quite close to the laboratory-measured results. For a specific matric suction, water content or coefficient of permeability on a wetting curve is always lower than those found on a drying curve.

It has been reported that Co-based amorphous ferromagnetic alloys annealed in a small magnetic field develop a reproducible, asymmetric hysteresis loop. If the direction of the field during annealing is regarded as +, the magnetization reversal from - to + is smooth and reversible, with its slope determined by the demagnetizing field of the sample. This phenomenon is called the asymmetric magnetization reversal (AMR). The shape of the hyster-esis loop depends sensitively on the condition during the anneal and the alloy composition. Here, we report on the effect of the annealing temperature and time on AMR in a zero magnetostrictive ferromagnetic amorphous alloy. The AMR effect develops in a very short time at a reasonably high temperature, but is stabilized by annealing for a prolonged time.

In the design of a sky-bridge, repetitive boundary nonlinear time history analyses are required to accurately predict dynamic behaviors of the connected buildings because the connection systems of a sky-bridge usually have high nonlinearity. If a conventional finite element model for entire high-rise buildings is used for repetitive boundary nonlinear time history analyses, computational efforts could be significant. In this study, an equivalent cantilever model considering the belt-wall effect has been proposed for an efficient dynamic analysis and a performance evaluation of vibration control of high-rise buildings connected by a sky-bridge. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed equivalent model, boundary nonlinear time history analyses of 49- and 42-story example buildings connected by a sky-bridge have been performed for wind excitation. Based on the analytical results, it has been verified that the proposed equivalent model can provide accurate dynamic responses of building structures connected by a sky-bridge with significantly reduced computational efforts.

In this paper, we suggest an information retrieval visualization tool using the knowledge representation method. Information retrieval visualization tool suggested in this paper is designed to automatically extract retrieval intention using user's search history data and visualize extracted retrieval intention in the knowledge representation method structure. A psychological knowledge representation methodology was adopted for schema for retrieval intention representation and its effectiveness has been proved through the behavioral experiments. Result of experiment revealed that information retrieval visualization tool has been improved approximately 39% in user satisfaction compared to existing retrieval method, suggesting a measure to solve re-retrieval problem in the process of information retrieval.

To evaluate the seismic performance of multistory building structures use an equivalent SDOF model to represent the resistance of the structure to deformation as it respond in its predominant mode. This paper presents a method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model. The principal objective of this investigation is to evaluate appropriateness of converting method through perform nonlinear time history analysis of a multistory building structures and an equivalent SDOF model. The hysteresis rules to be used an equivalent SDOF model is obtained from the pushover analysis. Comparing the peak inelastic response of a moment resisting reinforced concrete frames and an equivalent SDOF model, the adequacy and the validity of the converting method is verified. The conclusion of this study is following; A method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model through the nonlinear time history response analysis is valid. The representative lateral displacement of a moment resisting reinforced concrete frames is close to the height of the first modal participation vector \ulcorner$_1{\beta}$${_1{\mu}}=1$. It can be found that the hysteresis rule of an equivalent SDOF model have influence on the time history response. Therefore, it necessary for selecting hysteresis rules to consider hysteresis characteristics of a moment resisting reinforced concrete frames.

조사전 및 감시시험시 용접열영향부(heat affected zone, HAZ)의 인성평가를 위해 제작되는 샤피(Charpy) 충격시험편의 노치(notch) 위치에 대하여 현재의 규정에 대한 타당성을 검토하였다. 적용규정은 HAZ 시험편의 노치위치를 용접용융선(fusion line, FL) ＋ 모재측 0.8 mm 로 제한하고 있다. 그러나, 본 연구결과, 이 부위는 다층(multipass) 용접시 후속열이력에 의해 결정립이 미세화되어, 인장강도와 경도 및 충격인성이 모재나 용접부에 비하여 양호하게 나타났다. 한편, FL ＋ 4 mm 이상의 다른 위치에서는 강도와 경도 및 충격인성이 모두 모재와 용접부에 비하여 낮은 값을 보였다. 이는 다층용접에 의한 후속열이력 및 용접후열처리(post weld heat treatment, PWHT)에 의해 금속조직학적 영향을 받은 것으로 판단되었다. 일련의 시험결과로부터, 조 사전 및 감시시험용 샤피충격시험편의 HAZ 에 있어서의 노치위치에 대한 현재의 규정을 재검토할 필요가 있음을 제안하였다.
