The seismic capacity of columns usually has been tested in uniaxial loading condition. The seismic performance used to be evaluated under the same assumption. Since the real earthquake motion is multi-directional, the effects of multi-directional excitation on the seismic capacity of structures need to be carefully examined. In this paper, a frequency dependent alternate biaxial cyclic loading test is proposed as an evaluation method of seismic capacity under multi-directional excitation. Four test specimens were made and tested to study the degradation of strength, stiffness and ductility under biaxial loading condition. A multi- directional excitation. The capacity is obtained using frequency dependent alternate biaxial cyclic loading test. The orthogonal effect is taken into account by increasing the demand.

The behavior of bridge column under multi-directional loading as well as uni-directional loading need to be studied because bridge columns will be subjected to the multi-directional cyclic loading during a strong earthquake. To evaluate the capacity of columns, uni-axial cyclic loading tests and bi-axial alternate cyclic loading tests were carried out. The number of cycles of alternate bi-axial loading were determined considering the ratio of natural frequencies in two orthogonal directions. From the test results, strength degradation and ductility reduction were observed in biaxial loading conditions. Their rates were found to be more rapid in the loading pattern that was determined considering the different natural frequencies.

This paper aims to observe the micro-mechanical behaviour of tow geometry during deformation of dry woven carbon-fiber fabric. With the increment of shear angle fabric experiences 'lock-up'phenomenon. In this paper, deformation of micro-mechanical parameters such as tow interval, change in tow amplitude and wavelength are investigated. To observe the micro-deformation of the fabric structure, appropriate specimens from bias extension and biaxial tests are sectioned and observed under the microscope. It was found that different loading conditions cause geometric deferences in the tow architecture.

The material properties of rubber was determined by the experiments of uniaxial tension, uniaxial compression, planer tension, equi-biaxial tension and volumetric compression. In compression test, it is difficult to obtain the pure state of compression stress and strain due to friction force between the specimen and compression platen. In this study, the stress and strain data from the equi-biaxial tension test were converted to compression stress and strain and compared to a perfect state of simple compression data when friction was zero. The compression test device with the tapered platen was proposed to overcome the effect of friction. It was turned out that the relationship of the stress and strain using the tapered platen was in close agreement with the pure compressive state.

Nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete panels subjected to biaxial tensile loads are carried out by using a 9-node assumed strain shell element. The present study mainly focuses on the performance evaluation of material models such as cracking criteria, tension stiffening model and steel model in the membrane energy dominant situation. From numerical results, the exponential form of tension stiffening model together with the use of average yield stress model for the steel embedded in the concrete performs well in the panel analysis under biaxial tensile loading condition and it produces a good agreement with experiment results. Finally, the present results are provided as a benchmark test for reinforced concrete panel structures.

Two different strength types of plain concrete plate specimens (200$\times$200$\times$60mm) were tested under different biaxial load combinations. The specimens were subjected to biaxial combinations covering the three regions of compression-compression, compression-tension, and tension-tension. The loading platens with Teflon pads were used to reduce a confining effect in boundary surface between the concrete specimen and the solid platen. The principal deformations in the specimens were recorded, and the failure modes along with each stress ratio were examined. Based on the strength data, the failure envelops were developed for each type of plain concrete. The biaxial stress-strain responses of concrete plate specimens for three biaxial loading regions were also plotted. The test data indicated that the strength of concrete under biaxial compression ($f_2 / f_1$$_1$=-1/-1) is about 17 percent larger than under uniaxial compression.

Hydroxyapatite/titanium composites were prepared as 4-layered functionally graded materials (FGM) using a spark plasma sintering (SPS) apparatus. The maximum density and the biaxial strength of hydroxyapatite/titanium composites were achieved by SPS with a holding time 8 minutes at $1200^{\circ}C$. However, the hydroxyapatite was decomposed tetracalcium phosphate (TetCP) at $1100^{\circ}C$, and calcium titanate compounds ($CaTiO_3$) were formed. When titanium was added to hydroxyapatite, decomposition of hydroxyapatite was occurred easily at the low temperature.

In order to investigate the conduction characteistics of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film, several measurements have been carried out in the range of temperature between 5['c] and 25['c] as well as the field intensity between 10[MV/m] and 300[MV/m]. The whole range of the characteristics observed at 15['c] appears to be divided into five regions` the Ohmic conduction region due to ionic carrier below 40[MV/m], the region from 40[MV/m] to 70[MV/m] in which the conduction mechanism is attributed to Poole-Frenkel effect, the region from 70[MV/m] to 82[MV/m] in which the negative resistance characteristics are observed, then the region from 82[MV/m] which is dominated by Schottky effect and finally, the region from 240[MV/m] up to the point where dielectric breakdown occurs in which the mechanism is based on Flowler-Nordheim theory.

Mechanical properties of domestic 374 stainless steel have been evaluated fur membrane material used in LNG storage tank. LNG tank is operated around -162$^{\circ}C$. The temperature of membrane depends on LNG level. Accordingly, the membrane material is deteriorated by variation of liquid pressure and temperature. Tensile test and fatigue life test were performed at room temperature and -l62$^{\circ}C$ per code requirements. Especially the biaxial fatigue life test was conducted with shaped membrane sheet at a thermal strain of $\Delta$T=190$^{\circ}C$ The test results obtained with the domestic 304 stainless steel showed better properties compared to the values required by code.
