This study presents the evaluation of the patching materials that are used to repair the distress of asphalt pavement. Four kinds of patching materials currently used in practice were tested in both laboratory and field. The laboratory tests included the dry and soaked Marshall stability test, indirect tensile test, wheel tracking test and adhesive strength between the asphalt pavement and the repairing material was tested as a performance test. The field study was conducted using the slab samples placed on the location of vehicle tire passing and the performance of the repairing materials were investigated as passing the traffic load. The result of the laboratory tests were satisfied with the current design criteria and material standard except for water-immersion stability. Type C patching material showed the highest adhesive shear strength among the patching materials tested. However, the mature distress, such as rutting and stripping were monitored after construction in 10 days. It was found that performance of patching material is lack of quality behavior when they were applied in the field and required to develop and applu to prevent the mature distress of the current patching materials.

In this study, an innovative steel stair system is presented which enables rapid erection and high quality control in both residential and office building construction. This system features two lightweight steel stringers of box shape, bolted connections easy to absorb construction tolerance, and stair steps movable transversely (or sliding steps) such that the work space needed for concrete stairway wall could be easily provided. In this type of stairway system, other than providing robust connecting details, ensuring vibration performance is especially important since this system may be vibration-sensitive due to lightweight nature and/or probable low damping. To tackle these issues, a series of full-scale mock-up tests were conducted by using box-shape stringer members with or without concrete-fill. The connection system was shown to be sufficiently stiff and strong, or it remained elastic even under the 160% of service load level. Among the seven stringer alternatives, five exhibited satisfactory vibration performance according to the related North American and European acceptance criteria.

This paper relates with the performance improvement of SE-MMA (Signed Error-Multiple Modulus Algorithm) adaptive equalization algorithm that is used for the reduction of the intersymbol interference due to the distortion which occurs in the communication channel for the transmission of 16-QAM nonconstant modulus signal.. In the conventional MMA, the fixed modulus value that is second order statistics of transmitting signal were used, and the SE-MMA was introduced in order to the simplification of the algorithm's arithmetic operation. The SE-MMA have a fast convergence speed than MMA, but it has a problem of degradation of equalization performance in the steady state due to the arithmetic simplification. In this paper, we propose the new algorithm AV-SE-MMA (Adaptively Varying-SE-MMA) that uses the adaptive varying modulus in order to obtain the error signal for updating the adaptive equalizer coefficient, and its equalization performance were confirmed by simulation. In this paper, the performance of SE-MMA and proposed algorithm were compared, and the equalizer output signal constellation, residual isi, MSE and SER in order to confirm the robustness of noise were used as performace index. As a result of performance comparison, the AV-SE-MMA has better performance in output signal constellation, residual isi and MD compared to the SE-MMA, but it was confirmed that the AV-SE-MMA has similar in the SER performance that means the robustness to the noise.

본 논문에서는 잡음이 첨가된 오디오 신호로부터 잡음을 추정하고 이에 따른 지각 필터 적용을 통한 음질 개선 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 지각 필터는 고정된 잡음을 사용하여 잡음이 가변적일 경우 그 성능이 저하되었으며 독립 성분 분석만을 사용하여 잡음을 제거할 경우 잡음이 완전히 분리되지 못하고 잔류하게 된다. 그러나 제안된 잡음 추정 알고리즘은 독립성분 분석을 이용하여 잡음 에너지를 획득하고 이를 지각 필터에 적용함으로써 전 대역의 잡음 에너지를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있게 된다. 기존의 독립성분분석만을 이용한 방법과의 비교를 위하여 SSNR 비교를 수행하였고 그 결과를 통해 성능 개선을 확인 할 수 있었다.

도로는 국내 물류를 담당하는 중요한 기반시설로 국내 경제성장의 중추적인 역할을 담당하고 있다. 특히, 1970년대 개통된 경부고속도로는 우리나라의 대동맥으로 산업 성장의 파급효과를 가져오는 기반이 되었고, 공학적인 차원에서도 도로 포장재료를 경험 및 과학적으로 분석하여 적용하는 계기로 도로공학발전의 초석이 되었다. 과거에 적용된 도로 포장재료는 기술자의 경험에 의존하여 배합설계가 진행되었으며, 중차량의 비중이 많은 지역은 강성포장을 적용하고, 상대적으로 중차량이 적은 구간은 연성포장을 적용하는 설계를 따랐다. 하지만, 강성포장을 대표하는 시멘트 콘크리트 포장은 시공상의 복잡함과 시멘트 콘크리트 특성상 강도발현을 위해서 일정기간 이상의 양생일수가 필요하므로, 도로건설의 인프라 구축이 시급한 지역에서는 사용의 제약이 따른다. 연성포장을 대표적하는 재료로는 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장을 들 수 있다. 강성포장보다는 상대적으로 시공상의 편리함과 일정기간의 양생이 필요하지 않아 도로 포장재료로서 그 적용성이 우수하다. 과거에는 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장의 종류가 단순화되어 표층, 기층에 대표되는 몇몇 혼합물이 도로 포장재료로 사용되었다. 도로공학의 학문적 발달과 함께 도로포장의 전반적인 기술이 향상되고 있다. 과거의 도로 기능은 국가 경제발전을 위한 산업용 원자재의 운반이 주요 기능을 담당하고 있는 반면, 국민의 경제적 수준이 증대되고 자가용의 보급이 보편화되면서 도로 이용의 주체가 국민 개개인으로 변화되고 있고, 그 요구조건도 다양화되고 있다. 이에 발맞추어 도로공학의 기술적 향상으로 다양한 기능을 발휘할 수 있는 도로포장재료가 개발되고 있으며, 대표적인 제품으로는 배수성 포장, 반강성 포장, 보수성 포장, 탄성 포장, 저소음 포장 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기능성 포장의 하나인 저소음 포장의 특성 중 생산성능을 평가하였다. 생산성능이란 저소음포장을 현장 플랜트에서 생산하였을 경우의 특성을 분석하는 과정으로, 실내 실험으로 최적화된 재료의 배합은 이상적인 조건을 적용하여 결정된 것으로 입고된 현장 골재 및 생산 플랜트 조건에 따른 그 배합 및 물성이 변동을 가져올 수 있다. 특히, 저소음 포장은 기존의 아스팔트 포장과 달리 적용되는 골재, 아스팔트의 재료가 고성능을 발휘하기 위하여 특수한 재료를 적용해야 한다. 배합설계에서도 개립도 아스팔트 혼합물에 적용되는 내구성분석 절차를 따라야 하므로, 실내 배합설계 혼합물과 현장 생산 혼합물간의 물리적 특성에 차이를 나타낼 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 실내 및 현장 혼합물의 전반적인 물리적 특성의 차이를 분석하여 저소음 포장의 현장 생산성능을 확인하였다. 분석요소로는 혼합물의 기초물성면에서는 밀도, 공극률을 분석하였으며, 실내 내구성면에서는 마샬안정도, 잔류안정도를 분석하여 실내 및 현장 혼합물의 물성차이를 분석하였다. 기초물성을 평가할 수 있는 밀도와 공극률에서는 생산 현장 혼합물이 실내 혼합물 보다 높은 밀도와 낮은 공극률을 나타내고 있으며, 이에 상관하여 강도특성을 분석할 수 있는 마샬안정도도 생산 현장 혼합물이 다소 높은 강도를 발휘하였다. 또한, 수분에 대한 안정성을 평가하는 인자인 잔류 안정도에서는 실내 및 현장 혼합물 모두 우수한 성능을 발휘하였다.

This paper relates with the Hybrid-SE-MMA (Signed-Error MMA) that is possible to improving the equalization performance by using the adaptive modulus and adaptive step size in SE-MMA adaptive equalizer for the minimizing the intersymbol interference. The equalizer tap coefficient is updatted use the error signal in MMA algorithm for adaptive equalizer. But the sign of error signal is used for the simplification of arithmetic operation in SE-MMA algorithm in order to updating the coefficient. By this simplification, we get the fast convergence speed and the reduce the algorithm processing speed, but not in the equalization performance. In this paper, it is possible to improve the equalization performance by computer simulation applying the adaptive modulus to the SE-MMA which is proposional to the power of equalizer output signal. In order to compare the improved equalization performance compared to the present SE-MMA, the recovered signal constellation that is the output of the equalizer, residual isi, MD(maximum distortion), MSE and the SER perfomance that means the robustness to the external noise were used. As a result of computer simulation, the Hybrid-SE-MMA improve equalization performance in the residual isi and MD, MSE, SER than the SE-MMA.

In this study, to evaluate the shrinkage behavior of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) under restrained condition, restrained shrinkage test was performed according to ring-test mostly used at home and abroad. Ring-test was performed with the various thicknesses and radii of inner steel ring to give different degree of restraint. Free shrinkage and tensile tests were carried out simultaneously to estimate the degree of restraint, stress relaxation, and shrinkage cracking potential. Test results indicated that the average steel strain and residual tensile stress were reduced as the thicker inner steel ring was used, whereas degree of restraint was increased. The steel strain, residual tensile stress and degree of restraint were hardly affected by the size of radius of inner ring. In the case of all ring specimens, shrinkage crack did not occur because the residual tensile stress was lower than the tensile strength. About 39~65% of the elastic shrinkage stress was relaxed by the sustained interface pressure, and the maximum relaxed stress was increased as the thicker inner ring was applied. Finally, the degree of restraint with age was predicted by performing non-linear regression analysis, and it was in good agreement with the test results.

The thermal response of elastomeric insulators used as protection against high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gases varies depending on their composition and thermal environment conditions. In this paper, the thermal response characteristics of elastomeric insulators in different mixing environments were compared. Tests to determine thermal protection performance were carried out using a thermal protection rubber evaluation motor(TPREM), combustion gas velocities of 20 m/s and 100 m/s were tested at a chamber pressure of 1,000 psig. The pressure time curve of the chamber, the temperature time curve of the internal materials, the residual thickness and the thermal destruction depth of the test specimens were obtained. The results showed that the thermal protection performance of elastomeric insulators in different mixing environments was similar.
