Experimental study was carried out to investigate the structural performance of composite beams with steel fiber concrete and angle. For this purpose, seven specimens composed of two RC beams with or without steel fiber and five composite beams with steel fiber and angle were constructed and tested. All specimens had no web shear reinforcement. Main variables for the specimens were tensile reinforcement ratio and fiber volume fraction. Based on the test results, structural performance such as strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity was evaluated and compared with the predicted strength. The prediction of flexure and shear strength gives a good relationship with the observed strength. The strength, ductility and energy dissipation capacity are increased, as the fiber volume fraction is increased. Meanwhile, high tensile reinforcement ratio resulted in the reduction of ductility and energy dissipation capacity for the composite beams.

For normally consolidated clay, several researchers have developed a number of theoretical time factors to determine the coefficient of consolidation However, depending on the assumptions and analytical techniques, it could considerably vary even for a specific degree of consolidation. In this paper, a method is proposed to determine a consistent coefficient of consolidation over all ranges of degree of consolidation by applying the concept of the Optimum Design Technique. The initial excess pore pressure distribution is assumed to be obtainable by the successive spherical cavity expansion theory. The dissipation of pore pressure is simulated by means of two dimensional linear-uncoupled axisymmetric consolidation analysis. The minimization of the differences between the measured and the predicted excess pore pressures was carried by BFGS unconstrained optimum design algorithm with one dimensional golden section search technique. By analyzing numerical and real field examples, it can be found that the adopted optimum technique gives a consistent and convergent results.

Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted to assess the effect of oxidative decomposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in field soil using peroxy-acid. The study soil texture is sandy soil containing 19.2 % of organic matter at pH 6.8. Among polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the study soil, the concentration of benzo(a)pyrene is 2.23 mg/kg which is three times higherthan the Korea standard level. Therefore benzo(a)pyrene was selected as the target study PAH for the treatment by peroxy-acid oxidation using peroxy-acid coupled with hydrogen peroxide, and the efficiency of the oxidative decomposition of benzo(a)pyrene was assessed for the different organic acids and dosages of an organic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Propionic acid among the tested organic acids showed the highest efficiency of benzo(a)pyrene reduction in the peroxyacid oxidation treatment and finally satisfied the Korea standard level.

Leaching experiments of gold and silver from roasted concentrate were carried out using a chlorine-hypochlorite solution. The leaching rate of gold was 75% at 1.5:1 ratio of chlorine and hypochlorite and increased to 81% with adding 1 M NaCl. However, at 1% pulp density and at $65^{\circ}C$, the leaching rates of Au were close to 100%. XRD analysis identified quartz in the solid residues after digestion of roasted concentrate with aqua regia or chlorine-hypochloride leaching solution. This suggests that the gold may not be leached out of the quartz in aqua regia or chlorine-hypochlorite solution. In order to leach the gold from the quartz, the concentrate will have to be pre-treated through ultra-fine grinding or treated with stronger oxidative agents.

구조물의 내진보강방법 중에서 가장 널리 이용되는 방법인 강재 이력형 감쇠장치는 수평하중에 대한 응력-변위 곡선을 이용하여 지진 에너지를 소산시키는 방법인데, 이 경우 편심하중 등에 의해서 부재가 면 외 방향으로 거동하여 응력-변위곡선이 불규칙하여 그 결과의 신뢰성이 떨어지는 경우가 있다. 이러한 형상을 방지하기 위해서는 별도의 채널(Channel)을 시공하는 불편함을 감수해야 하며, 또한 수평력이 반복적으로 작용할 때 그 효과를 장담할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 강재 스트립과 스프링을 결합한 댐퍼를 고안하여 스프링은 탄성변형을, 강재 스트립은 소성변형을 받게 하는 혼합형 댐퍼를 개발하고자한다. 여기서, 스프링은 복원력으로 작용하여 반복하중에 대한 저항성을 키우고 강재 스트립의 하중변위 곡선을 규칙적으로 하는 역할을 수행하게 되며 에너지 소산량을 계산할 때 편리함과 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 강재 스트립의 폭과 길이는 일정하지만 두께를 변화시켜서 5종류를 선택하였으며, 댐퍼 1개당 3개의 스트립을 정삼각형 형태로 배치하고 그 중심에 상당한 강성을 갖는 스프링을 갖는 형태로 제작하였다. 댐퍼 시험체는 5개를 제작한 후, 이 댐퍼를 구조물에 배치하였을 때의 지진에 대한 에너지 소산량과 부재력을 검토하여 댐퍼의 안전성(Safety)를 검증하고자 한다.

As composite materials, the addition of steel fiber with concrete significant)y improves the engineering properties of structural members, notably shear strength and ductility. Flexural strength, fatigue strength, and the capacity to resist cracking are also enhanced. Especially the strengthening effect of steel fiber in shear is to prevent the brittle shear failure. In this study, shear-strengthening effect of steel fiber in RC short columns were investigated from the literature surveys and 10th specimem's member test results. From the test results, following conclusions can be made; the maximum enhancement of shear-strengthening effect can be achieved at about 1.5 ％ of steel fiber contents, shear strength and ductility capacity were improved remarkably in comparison to stiffness and energy dissipation capacity in steel fiber reinforced concrete.

이 논문은 비물리적인 속도 감쇄현상을 감소시키는 새로운 유체시뮬레이션 방법을 제시한다. 제시된 방법은 물리량뿐만 아니라 물리량의 미분정보도 함께 이용하기 때문에 보다 정확한 물리현상을 반영할 수 있다. 나비어-스톡스 방정식을 푸는 일반적인 시뮬레이터는 수치 소산의 대부분은 대류항을 풀 때 발생한다. 따라서, 우리는 소산현상을 효과적으로 막는 CIP 대류방법을 이용하여, 옥트리 기반의 유체 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 우리는 실험을 통해, 제안된 방법이 높은 레이놀즈 수를 갖는 유체의 상세한 움직임(예를 들어, 작은 물방울/공기방울, 얇은 수막, 작은 소용돌이 등)을 효과적으로 모사함을 보인다.

A tensor invariant model equation for the turbulent energy dissipation rate is proposed in the present study, which is able to simulate secondary straining effects such as curvature effects without the introduction of additional empirical input. The source term in this model has a combined form of the generation term due to the mean vorticity with the conventional one due to the mean strain rate. An extended low-Reynolds-number $k-\epsilon$ turbulence model involving this new model equation is tested for a turbulent Coutte flow between coaxial cylinders with inner cylinder rotated, which is a well defined example of curved flows. The predicted results indicate that the present model works much better for this flow, compared with previous models.

본 연구에서는 구조물 상치에 에어챔버를 설치하여 챔버 내부의 공기주입량에 따라 흘수심을 조절 할 수 있는 유공 및 투수성부유식방파제를 사용하였으며, 부유식방파제의 흘수심구간에 유공을 두어 내부의 흐름에 따른 에너지소산 효과를 수리모형실험을 통하여 분석하였다. 기존 연구에 의하여 선행되어진 부유식방파제의 형상은 구조물 제체의 입사면과 투과면이 막힌 형태의 연구가 대다수였으나, 계류라인의 장력에 따른 부체의 안정성을 고려하여 본 수리모형실험에서는 입사면 흘수심구간과 투과면 흘수심구간에 유공 및 투수층을 두어 진행하는 입사파랑을 일부 흡수하도록 하였다. 또한, 부유식방파제 흘수심단면의 내부에서 흐름변화에 의한 에너지소산 효과와 입사면과 투과면의 유공률 변화에 따른 방파성능을 무공 부유식방파제와 비교하며 효율성을 분석하였다.

Excess pore pressures in low permeability soils may not dissipate quickly enough and decrease the effective stresses inside the soil, which in turn may cause a reduction of the shear strength at the interface between the soil and the reinforcement in MSE walls. For this condition the dissipation rate of pore pressures is most important and it varies depending on wall size, permeability of the backfill, and reinforcement length. In this paper, a series of numerical analysis has been performed to investigate the effect of those factors. The results show that for soils with a permeability lower than $10^{-3}cm/sec$, the consolidation time gradually increases. The increase in consolidation time indicates the decrease in effective stress thus it will result in decrease in pullout capacity of the reinforcement as verified by the numerical analyses. It is also observed that larger consolidation time is required for longer reinforcement length (longer drainage path).
