The behavior of a bellows for an electromagnetic control valve was investigated. The bellows consists of an outer metal bellows, inner spring, and metal caps. The bellows needs to have sensitive and precise motion against external loads and pressure loads in order to control the position of the valve accurately. The spring constant of the inner spring and load-displacement curve of the bellows set were measured using a test machine. The inner spring showed a linear relation between load and displacement. The bellows set showed small stiffness at small displacement, and then the stiffness slightly increased upon subsequent displacement. Based on the measured data, finite element analysis was performed. Axisymmetric conditions were applied, and shell elements were used. The effective material properties of the outer bellows material were extracted. Additional analysis was performed, and the behavior of the bellows was analyzed using the finite element model.

Linear roller bearing (LRB) is an important mechanical element that is widely used in precise positioning systems that are subjected to large loads. This paper presents a new model for estimating the displacement of an LRB subjected to external forces. For this purpose, assuming that the linear motion block (LM block) is rigid, the equilibrium conditions for the LRB were obtained by solving the equilibrium equations of the rollers and the rigid LM block using the iterative Newton-Raphson method. The contact loads between the rollers and raceways were determined considering the profiled rollers. Then, the structural deformations of the LM block, subjected to the contact loads from the rigid LM block model, were computed using a finite element model for the LM block. The displacements of the LRB were then determined by superposition of the rigid LM block displacements on the induced displacements due to the structural deformations of the LM block. The proposed method was verified through comparison with a program by the bearing manufacturer.

This study quantitatively evaluated the performance improvement of a circular reinforced concrete pier under dynamic load with strengthening using a steel plate. Various three-dimensional elements were applied using the finite element program ABAQUS. The analytical parameters included the ratios of the steel cover length to the pier's total height and the ratios of the steel cover thickness to the pier diameter for inelastic-nonlinear analysis. The lower part of the pier had fixed boundary conditions, and lateral repetitive loads were applied at the top of the pier. The pier was investigated to evaluate the dynamic performance based on the load-displacement curve, stress-strain curve, ductility, energy absorption capability, and energy ratio. The yield and ultimate loads of piers with steel covers increased by 3.76 times, and the energy absorption capability increased by 4 times due to the confinement effects caused by the steel plate. A plastic hinge part of the column with a steel plate improved the ductility, and the thicker the steel plate was, the greater the energy absorption capacity. This study shows that the reinforced pier should be improved in terms of the seismic performance.

In this study, a numerical analysis method for soil-pile interaction in frequency domain problem is presented. The total soil-pile interaction system is divided into two parts so called near field and far field. In the near field, beam elements are used lot a pile and plain strain finite elements for soil. In the far field, dynamic fundamental solution for multi-layered half planes based on boundary element formulation is adopted lot soil. These two fields are coupled using FE-BE coupling technique. In order to verify the proposed soil-pile interaction analysis, the dynamic responses of pile on multi-layered half planes are simulated and the results are compared with the experimental results. Also, various numerical analyses of piles considering different conditions of soil-pile interaction system are performed to examine the dynamic behavior of the system. It has been found that the developed method which satisfies the radiation conditions of multi-layered half planes can be applied to various structure systems effectively in frequency domain.

Flat plate slab has been widely used in high rise building for its remarkable advantages. However, Flat plate structures under lateral load are susceptible to punching shear of the slab-column connection. Exterior slab-column connections has an unsymmetrical critical section for eccentric shear of which perimeter is less than that of interior connection, and hence, around the connection, unbalanced moment and eccentric shear are developed by both gravity load and lateral loads. Therefore, exterior connections is susceptible to punching shear failure. For that reason, this study compare ACI 318-05 to CEB-FIP MC 90 that is based on experiment results and existing data of flat plate exterior connections. This study shows that compared to CEB-FIP MC 90 is more exact about eccentric shear stress, unbalanced moment and Both of all are not suitable in large column aspect ratio. Considering gravity shear ratio, These are suitable but design condition only consider gravity shear ratio. So these should be considered differences from change of design condition

Recently, the construction industry commonly uses FRP as a reinforcement material because of its material advantages. FRP attached reinforcement has various advantages such as high strength, stiffness, excellent durability and construction practicability comparing to its weight. However, external attachment of FRP is water-tighted with low water permeable material, not draining water, probably causing damages on a permanent structure. The study manufactured it through pultrusion and examined GP(glass fiber panel) of which material-mechanical properties are almost same as the existing FRP but durability and attachment performance are better by stationary experiments, testing load-deflection curve, destruction types and load-deflection relation under repetitive loading test. As a result of 2,000,000 fatigue tests, it did not result in the destruction and showed excellent permanent attachment and durability as it displays significantly low compressive strain of concrete.

This paper describes an attempt to develop a practical method for the measurement of dead load stress in existing concrete bridges. In most cases, the dead load stress was determined by various theoretical calculations. However, the theoretical calculation cannot always provide a sufficient information on the current stress state due to lots of uncertainty. The key idea incorporated with this paper is the partial sectioning method which is able to estimate current stress state in concrete bridges subjected to dead load. The proposed method is applied to the safety assessment of actual concrete bridges and the applicability of this system is investigated.

손상 허용 설계 개념의 목적은 항공기 성능의 최대 관건이 구조물 무게가 과도하게 증가하는 것 을 방지하고 동시에 충분한 신뢰도를 만족시키는데 있다. 이러한 테크놀로지의 설계 적용에 대하 여 몇 가지 중요한 점을 지적하면 결함 검사를 위하여 외부에서 접근이 용이하게 설계되어야 하 고 단일 하중 전달 구조에 비하여 다중 하중 전달 구조가 바람직한 것이다. 또한 해석적 방법에 대하여 충분한 시험으로 해석과정의 유효성이 인정되어야 하며 일반적으로 전체 구조의 수명을 위하여 재료의 인성치를 증가시키는 것보다 균열 검출 기술을 향상시켜 검출 가능 결함 크기를 낮추는 것이 효과적이라 할 수 있다.

The nature of fluctuating air pressure inside building was studied by testing a building model in a wind tunnel. The model has a single room and a window opening. Various opening conditions were tested in both laminar uniform wind and turbulent boundary-layer wind. The RMS and the spectra of the fluctuating internal pressure were measured. The test results support a recent theory which predicts the behavior of internal pressure under high wind based on aerodynamic analysis.

본 논문에서는 최근 초고층 건축물에 많이 활용되어지는 기둥-가새 시스템인 다이아그리드 시스템을 활용하여 중저층 건축물에 적용가능성을 평가하였다. 본 시스템은 튜브구조의 형태로 횡력에 대한 저항력이 우수하며 중력하중과 황하중을 기초와 지반에 안전하게 하중을 전달한다. 다이아그리드는 경사기둥과 보를 반복적으로 삼각형 형태로 배치되어 중력하중을 받을 경우 수직부재는 압축력을 보는 인장력을 받게 된다. 경사기둥과 보를 연결하는 접합부는 H-형강으로 설계 시 제작이 복잡하고 외관이 좋지 않다. 하지만 원형강관을 사용 할 경우 복합하지 않은 형태로 설계가 가능하고 외관이 우수하기 때문에 외부에 노출이 가능해진다. 또한 원형강관은 개방형 단면 부재에 비해 압축좌굴과 비틀림에 대한 성능 등이 우수하여 구조적인 성능이 우수하다. 원형강관을 이용하여 다이아그리드 시스템이 고층 건축물 뿐만 아니라 중저층 건축물에도 적용 타당성을 검토하였으며 원형강관 접합부 설계는 한계상태설계법이 사용 된 KBC2008(안)을 이용하여 설계하였다.
