This paper presents a laboratory investigation into the effects of fillers using industrial by-product such as coal ash, IGCC slag on properties of hot-mixed asphalt concrete variation with filler content. For comparison, existing mixture with lime and dust have also been considered. Marshall and flow test has been considered for the purpose of mix design as well as evaluation of mixture. Other performance tests such as indirect tensile strength test, tensile strength ratio(moisture susceptibility), dynamic stability have also been carried out variation with filler content. It is observed that the mixes with industrial by-product exhibit conform with quality standard. Therefore, it has been recommended to utilize industrial by-product based on fly ash wherever available, not only reducing the produce cost but also partly solve the industrial by-product utilization and disposal problem.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the maximum energy dissipation and the ductility capacity of shear-dominated steel plate walls with thin web plates. Three specimens of three-story plate walls with thin web plates were tested. The parameters for the test specimens were the aspect ratio of the web plate and the shear strength of the column. A concentrically braced frame and a moment-resisting frme were a also tested for comparison. The steel plate walls exhibited much better ductility and energy dissipation capacity than the concentrically braced frame and the moment-resisting frame. The results showed that unlike other structural systems, the sh as well as strength, and can therefore be used as an effective earthquake-resisting system. A method of predicting the energy dissipation capacity of a steel plate wall was proposed.

The fact that error probability is higher in wireless communication environment than the one in a fixed network makes it inappropriate to apply the same DLC (Data Link Control) protocol used in a wireline network to a wireless network. And since the existing DLC protocol for wireless network was optimized for low-rate data service, it is not suitable for a wireless network environment which should support high-speed and multimedia traffic. Therefore it is desperate to have a new DLC protocol for todays wireless mobile communication environment. In this paper, we propose an error control scheme in WATM (Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode) environment. which supportsmultiple traffic attributes, high-speed, multimedia data service. In this paper we modified the existing ASR ARQ (Adaptive Selective Repeat Automatic Repeat Request) protocol where cells exceeding maximum allowable delay range are discarded. And adding FEC (Forward Error Correction) for delay-sensitive traffic resulted in smaller increase of transmission delay.

Weight reduction is increasingly being considered very important in light of air pollution and the exhaustion of resources. As a result, many automotive components are being replaced by Al and Mg alloys, and studies are increasingly focusing on the same. However, the use of Mg alloys is limited because they have higher material cost and lower productivity owing to the difficult forming conditions compared with Al alloys. In this study, the tube extrusion process conditions of an automotive bumper back beam were analyzed using FEA. Material tests were performed to determine the properties, and experiments and analyses for a simple shape were performed to define the data for heat generation during plastic deformation. Then, the analyses of the product were carried out by considering various temperatures and ram speeds. The conditions were then established, and a product without surface defects was extruded successfully.

Hydraulic actuators are used widely for industrial machinery. The seal made from elastomer is used as a core part of the actuator, NBR(nitrile butadiene rubber) materials with high quality of oil resistance and abrasion resistance is used widely, requiring excellent characteristic of sealing. According to applied circumstances, the actuators for industrial machinery are used under different temperature situations. In this study, three different kinds of NBR, which is Hs70, 80, 90 are determined as one of hydraulic materials. An experimental investigation is performed to confirm the non-linearity under different temperature ($-10^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C,\;80^{\circ}C,\;100^{\circ}C$) situation, material constants for finite element analysis and plastic deformation in accordance with Load-unload.

Three small scale hollow circular reinforced concrete columns with aspect ratio 4.5 were tested under cyclic lateral load with constant axial load. Diameter of section is 400 mm, hollow diameter is 200 mm. The selected test variable is transverse steel ratio. Volumetric ratios of spirals of all the columns are 0.302~0.604% in the plastic hinge region. It corresponds to 45.9~91.8% of the minimum requirement of confining steel by Korean Bridge Design Specifications, which represent existing columns not designed by the current seismic design specifications or designed by seismic concept. The longitudinal steel ratio is 2.017%. The axial load ratio is 7%. This paper describes mainly crack behavior, load-displacement hysteresis loop, seismic performance such as equivalent damping ratio, residual displacement and effective stiffness and flexural over-strength of circular reinforced concrete bridge columns with respect to test variable. The regulation of flexural over-strength is adopted by Korea Bridge Design Specifications (Limited state design, 2012). The test results are compared with nominal strength, result of nonlinear moment-curvature analysis and the design specifications such as AASHTO LRFD and Korea Bridge Design Specifications(Limited state design).

The initiation and growth processes of cyclic ice body in porous systems are affected by the thermo-physical and mass transport properties, as well as gradients of temperature and chemical potentials. Furthermore, the diffusivity of deicing chemicals shows significantly higher value under cyclic freeze-thaw conditions. Consequently, the disintegration of concrete structures is aggravated at marine environments, higher altitudes, and northern areas. However, the properties of cyclic freeze-thaw with crack growth and the deterioration by the accumulated damages are hard to identify in tests. In order to predict the accumulated damages by cyclic freeze-thaw, a regression analysis by the response surface method (RSM) is used. The important parameters for cyclic freeze-thawdeterioration of concrete structures, such as water to cement ratio, entrained air pores, and the number of cycles of freezing and thawing, are used to compose the limit state function. The regression equation fitted to the important deterioration criteria, such as accumulated plastic deformation, relative dynamic modulus, or equivalent plastic deformations, were used as the probabilistic evaluations of performance for the degraded structural resistance. The predicted results of relative dynamic modulus and residual strains after 300 cycles of freeze-thaw show very good agreements with the experimental results. The RSM result can be used to predict the probability of occurrence for designer specified critical values. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate the life cycle management of concrete structures considering the accumulated damages due to the cyclic freeze-thaw using the proposed prediction method.

Steel-concrete single-leaf blast-resistant doors, having steel box and slab inside, are installed on the wall using supporting members such as hinges and latches. Several studies have been conducted on their deflection behavior in the same direction as that of the blast pressure, but studies on their deflection behavior in the opposite direction, that is, studies on negative deflection behavior are relatively insufficient. In this study, we conducted a parameter analysis using finite element analysis on blast-resistant doors, on their rebound behavior in the negative deflection phase. Results revealed that the plastic deformation of the door, and the change in momentum and kinetic energy during rebound, were major factors influencing the rebound behavior. Greater rebound force was developed on the supporting members in the impulsive region, than in the quasi-static region; due to the characteristics in the impulsive region, where the kinetic energy developed relatively greater than the strain energy. In the design process, it is necessary to consider excessive deformation that could occur in the supporting members as the rebound behavior progresses. Additionally, it was found that in the case of steel-concrete blast doors, the rebound force increased relatively more, when the effects of both rebound and negative blast pressure contributed to the negative deflection of the door. Since conditions for the occurrence of this superposition effect could vary depending on structural characteristics and explosion conditions, further investigation may be required on this topic.

최근에 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온이 첨가된 적색 형광체에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 현재 상업적으로 이용 가능한 적색 형광체와 비교하여 $GdVO_4$를 모체로 갖는 적색 형광체는 우수한 열적 안정성과 광학적 특성을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 고효율의 적색 형광체를 개발하기 위하여 고상 반응법을 사용하여 $Gd_{1-x}VO_4$ : $Eu_x^{3+}$ 형광체를 합성하였다. $Gd_{1-x}VO_4$ : $Eu_x^{3+}$ 형광체 분말 시료는 활성체인 $Eu^{3+}$의 함량을 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 mol로 변화시키며, 초기 물질 $Gd_2O_3$ (99.99%), $H_3BO_3$ (99.99%), $Eu_2O_3$ (99.9%)를 화학 적량으로 준비하였다. 분말은 볼밀과 건조 작업을 거친 후, 500$^{\circ}C$ 전기로에서 5시간 동안 하소 공정, 1,100$^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 동안 소성시켰다. 합성된 형광체 분말의 XRD 측정한 결과에 의하면, $Eu^{3+}$의 함량비에 관계없이 모든 분말 시료들에서 주 피크는 24.7$^{\circ}$와 33.2$^{\circ}$에 최대값을 갖는 (200)와 (112)면의 회절 신호들이 관측되었고, 상대적으로 약한 회절 세기를 갖는 (101), (211), (301), (103), (312)와 (420)면의 회절 신호들은 각각 18.6$^{\circ}$, 31.1$^{\circ}$, 40.1$^{\circ}$, 44.6$^{\circ}$, 49.2$^{\circ}$와 57.1$^{\circ}$에서 나타났다(Fig. 1). 이결과를 JCPDS(86-0996)와 비교함으로써, 합성된 형광체 분말의 결정 구조는 정방정계임을 확인할 수 있었다. $Eu^{3+}$의 함량비가 0.05 mol에서 0.15 mol로 증가함에 따라 주 피크인 (200)면의 회절 신호의 세기는 증가한 반면, 0.20 mol에서는 급격하게 감소하였으며, 이 경우에 반치폭의 크기는 0.16$^{\circ}$이었다. 결정 입자의 크기를 결정하기 위하여 (200)면의 회절 피크에 대한 정보를 잘 알려진 Scherrer의 식에 대입하여 계산한 결과, $Eu^{3+}$의 함량비가 0 mol인 경우에, 평균 크기는 48 nm이었다. $Eu^{3+}$ 함량비를 증가함에 따라 결정 입자의 크기도 비례하여 증가하였으며, 0.15 mol에서 최대값을 나타내었으나, 농도 억제 효과로 인하여 0.20 mol 에서는 현저히 감소하였다. 표면 형상의 변화를 관측한 SEM 측정 결과에 의하면, $Eu^{3+}$의 함량비가 0 mol에서 0.15 mol로 증가함에 따라 결정 입자의 모양은 사다리꼴 형태에서 모서리가 둥글게 깎인 구형으로 변형되는 것을 관측할 수 있었으며 평균 크기는 500 nm이었다(Fig. 2). $Eu^{3+}$의 함량이 0.20 mol인 경우에 결정 입자의 형상은 더욱 구형에 접근하였으나, 평균 크기는 최소값을 나타내었다. 실험 결과로부터, 적절한 함량비를 갖는 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온을 첨가함으로써 적색 형광체 $Gd_{1-x}VO_4$ : $Eu^{3+}$ 분말의 결정 크기와 발광 세기를 제어할 수 있음을 제안한다.

In this paper, semi-rigid elasto-plastic post-buckling analysis of a space frame was performed using various explicit arc-length methods. Various explicit arc-length methodsand a large-deformation and small-strain elasto-plastic 3D space frame element with semi-rigid connections and plastic hinges were developed. This element can be appliedto both explicit and implicit numerical algorithms. In this study, the Dynamic Relaxation method was adopted in the predictor and corrector processesto formulate an explicit arc-length algorithm. The developed "explicit-predictor" or "explicit-corrector" were used in the elasto-plastic post-buckling analysis. The Eulerian equations for a beam-column with finite rotation, which considers the bowing effects, were adopted for the elastic system and extended to theinelastic system with a plastic hinge concept. The derived tangent stiffness matrix was asymmetrical due to the finite rotation. The joint connection elements were introduced for semi-rigidity using a static condensation technique. Semi-rigid elasto-plastic post-buckling analyses were carried out to demonstrate the potential of the developed explicit arc-length method and advanced space frame element in terms of accuracy and efficiency.
