An all fiber coupler-type add/drop filter has been fabricated by writing a Bragg grating in the coupling region of a fused fiber coupler. The fused fiber coupler with 99.8% coupling ratio and 74/m coupling coefficient was used for the add/drop filter. The add/drop filter shows 99% reflectivity and 83% drop efficiency at the operating wavelength of 1536.2nm.

This study was performed to estimate the workability and the static behavior for Bi Prestressed Concrete Girder(Bicon girder) which could introduce effectively prestressed forces into concrete girders. A bicon girder is manufactured by means of introducing pure bending moment that prestress simultaneously the compressive member(steel bar) and the tensile member(steel tendon). Static test was executed for 20m railway bridge girder specimen and evaluated whether pure bending moment was introduced or not, and the behaviors after cracking, and at the ultimate load. Test results showed that a bicon girder had the enough safety in the introduction of pure moment, the serviceability, and the ultimate behavior.

This study was performed to estimate the anchorage behavior for Bi Prestressed Concrete Girder(Bicon girder) which could introduce effectively prestressed forces into concrete girders. A bicon girder is manufactured by means of introducing pure bending moment that prestress simultaneously the compressive member(steel bar) and the tensile member(steel tendon). Therefore, the steel bar and the steel tendon must be unified in both ends and compressive and tensile force be offset. Anchorage dimension of 6 test specimens was designed under PTI specification which defined maximum stress and deformation to estimate structural behavior. Test results showed that the stress and the deformation of anchorage were within limits if the steel bar behaviored elastically.

For solving the environmental problem of the waste EPDM and for new TPE blend materials, we developed a new kind of TPE material using a co-rotating twin screw extruder. To improve the mechanical properties of TPE material such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus of the blend, PP and waste EPDM powder were blended with different screw configurations. The mechanical properties of the blends and morphology of the TPE were investigated. As the number of kneading disc and left-handed screw element increased, dynamic vulcanization of the material was increased because the shear stress and residence time of blends increased.

In this paper, mechanical properties of mild steel plate which was pretreated by prestress and prestrain loading conditions were studied. The variation of the mechanical properties of the test materials is evaluated in the light of Taylor's work hardening theory. Through this experimental study, it is recognized that material showed unstable phenomena after cyclic loading and it will recover its stability after a certain period of time accompaning the increment of hardness and the yield strength of the material. Also, the strength of smooth specimen, the notch strength of notch specimen and propagation behavior of fatigue specimen which were subjected to prestress and prestrain reveal that the optimal conditions may occur in the first, the middle and the later half of stage II of Taylor's work hardening theory, respectively.

The drained and undrained behavior of pure silt was investigated experimentally. Special attention was given to the stress-strain behavior of silt prior to failure and behavior at failure under monotonic and cyclic loading. A pure silica flour was chosen to form samples with two different densities of D,=80%, eo=0.68 and D,=35%, eo=0.9. The isotropically consolidated samples were tested in the triaxial testing device under monotonic undrained, drained compression and extension conditions. Also samples were tested under cyclic undrained condition. Based on the experimental results. it was qualitively identified that the overall behavior of silt is similar to that of sand. When compared with clay, silt shows a significantly different behavior due to its dilatant nature under both the monotonic and cyclic shear loadings.

The purpose of this research are to investigate experimentally flexural strengthening effects and flexural behaviour of RC beams strengthened by carbon fiber sheet(CFS) with/without superimposed pre-load. Test parameters of experiment are tension reinforcement ratio(0.85, 1.32, 1.91%) and pre-load(80% of yield capacity of unstrengthened beams). The structural behaviour of strengthened beams are compared with in terms of yield load and ultimate load, load-deflection relation, ductility, strengthened efficiency. From the test results, it were shown that ultimate capacity and flexural failure behaviour of RC beams strengthened by CFS changed by initial stresses between original beams and bonded CFS.

In this study, solvent-free waterborne polyurethanes (SWPU) were synthesized with teramethylxylene diisocyanate (TMXDI), poly(tetramethylene glycol) (PTMG) and polycarprolactone (PCL) and different mole ratio of dimethylol proponicacid (DMPA). The effect of ionic contents in the solvent-free waterborn polyurethane on thermal, mechanical properties and adhesion strength were studied. Glass transition temperature (Tg) were in range of $-70{\sim}-50^{\circ}C$ and increased as PCL contents increased in polyol. With more incorporation of PCL and DMPA contents in SWPU, tensile strength, adhesion strength and heat resistance of SWPU increased, while the elongation decreased.

Manufacturing using a 3D printer has recently increased in many fields and the material extrusion method, which is a lamination method, is commonly used. Since it uses a plastic material, the strength of the output of 3D printing is lower than that of steel material. For this reason, research on improving the mechanical properties of the output of 3D printing is continuously being conducted. In this study, tensile strength was compared with changes in the material type (PLA+, ABS) and density (60, 80, and 100%), layer height (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mm), layer direction (transverse and lengthwise), and fill pattern (zigzag, honeycomb, and concentric) among 3D printing output conditions. Tensile tests according to 3D printing output conditions were performed using a Universal Testing Machine. The results showed that tensile strength ranged from 21.10 MPa to 43.65 MPa according to the 3D printing output conditions.

In this study, we report on the synthesis and properties of eco-friendly waterborne polyurethane (WPU) according to bio-polyol contents. It was successfully synthesized by the different polyester polyol (DT-1040) and castor oil based polyol (COP) ratios. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the synthesized bio polyol based waterborne polyurethane was around -70 ℃ and -30 ℃, and it was confirmed that the Tg range was widened as the COP content increased. In addition, as the COP content increased, the tensile strength decreased, and optimum adhesive strength showed when DT-1040:COP ratio was 7:3.
