Steel fiber is a effective composite for crack resistance and improve structural performance under tensile loading. This study presents an evaluation of crack resistance and structural performance in cement mortar with steel fiber and expansion agent through internal chemical prestressing. For this work, cement mortar samples with 10% replacement of cement binder with CSA (Calcium-Sulfo-Aluminate) expansion agent and 1% volume ratio of steel fiber are prepared. Including basic mechanical properties, initial cracking load and fracture energy are evaluated in cement mortar beam with notch. Initial cracking load and fracture energy in cement mortar with CSA and steel fiber increase by 1.75 and 1.41~1.53 times compared with those in cement mortar with steel fiber. With optimum mix design for steel fiber and CSA expansive agent, the composite with chemical prestressing can be applied to various members and effectively improve crack resistance to external loading.

Immense quantities of coal combustion by-products are produced every year, and only a small fraction of them are currently utilized. The purpose of this study is to investigate reused techniques of coal ash in the construction field, which may contribute to the savings of building materials and conservation of environment. From the results of the compressive strength test, the elastic modulus was experimentally proposed. Also, based on the three- point-bending test, the fracture parameters - notch sensitivity, fracture energy, and initial compliance were experimentally proposed. As a result, the strength and fracture characteristics were lower than those of concrete or mortar. Also, the study showed that the deflection at a fracture decreased as the age increased and as the notch depth rate decreased. However, it was judged that its use as a building material could be expected if further research is carried out.

Double-angle connections should be designed with enough stiffness and strength to properly resist various applied loads. Therefore, structural engineers should be able to predict some influential variables and take their effects into account in design. This study was performed to establish the effects of the number of bolts and bolt gage distance on the stiffness and strength of a double-angle connection under tension. Six experimental tests were conducted to describe the effects of these variables by comparing load-displacement relationship curves. In addition, two prediction models were proposed to estimate the initial stiffness and the maximum allowable tensile load based on the results of experimental tests. In the development of these prediction models, the effect of prying action was considered.

Vehicle Holding Device(VHD) has a role that holding the launch vehicle on its launch pad until the engine therust reaches a steady condition. The analytical study of shape parameters and dynamic characteristics of hydraulic cylinders is carried out. The contraction of cylinder is considered as the major factor of releasing mechanism. Through the analysis, the decreasing of cylinder slit size and increasing initial charging pressure increase the contraction force. Through the transient analysis, cylinder load, displacement and inner pressure distribution are confirmed. The cylinder contraction force is converged to the cylinder external force when the cylinder starts to move. Also, the pressure distribution in the hydraulic cylinder is constant.

사용후 연료 건식 저장 용기가 낙하, 토네이도, 미사일, 홍수 및 지진으로 인한 사고에 대하여 전복이 발생되었을 때 강체 평면과 충돌에 의한 충돌 하중시의 구조 응력 평가하였다. 이를 위해 저장 용기의 무게 중심이 한계를 넘었을 때의 초기 전복 시작각을 무게 중심을 계산을 통해 구하였다. 상용 코드를 사용하여 전복 응력 해석 수행시 저장 용기의 강체 운동에 의하여 계산 시간이 길어지는 데, 이런 계산 시간을 줄이기 위해 일차 충돌 직전까지의 모델의 속도와 각속도 계산식을 이론적인 방법으로 구하여 해석 초기 조건으로 사용하는 방법에 대하여 제안하였다.(중략)

일반적으로 사용단계의 구조물은 시간이 경과함에 따라 초기의 설계, 시공상 오류에 의한 초기결함, 반복하중 그리고 취약한 환경 등 외부 조건에 노출될 경우에는 구조물 본연의 성능을 점차 상실하게 되어 심지어는 인명과 재산권을 위협하는 대형 붕괴사고를 일으키기도 한다. 따라서 구조물의 사용성을 적정 수준 이상으로 유지하기 위해서는 정기적인 점검을 통해 잔존수명을 미리 예측하여야 함은 물론, 최적의 보수시기와 보수방법을 알려줄 수 있는 시설물 모니터링시스템이 요구되고 있다. (중략)

Some analytical methods to analyze low-velocity impact force history of composite laminated structures used in aerospace vehicles are reviewed. A classical method used at initial research of low-velocity impact problem in 1980s was reviewed on its physical meaning, and the approximate method assuming the shape of impact force history as a sinusoidal wave was reviewed. A parametric study on contact constant and exponent in contact law was performed in order to analyze an effect on impact force history, and finally its was understood that impact force history could be analyzed accurately even though the linearized contact law was used. Also, in this paper it was shown that impact problem could be analyzed simply and easily using a commercial finite element code.

To simulate the three4imensional effect occurring near the tunnel face in a two -dimensional model, empirical load -dirtribution ratio concept is frequently used in tunnel design. In this paper, three -dimensional analysis is performed and its results are compared with those of two dimensional analysis'to investigate the applicability of the loadiistribution ratio concept. Especially, stress concentration near the tunnel face is investigated in depth. A parametric study is performed to investigate the effect of each factor on the load distribution ratio. The factors considered here include unsupported span length, initial stress, rock quality, tunnel size and the depth of tunnel location Moreover, the load -distribution ratios for the typical tunnel sections in Seoul Subway to be used in the tunnel design are suggested.

An efficient aerodynamic thermal load element is developed to reflect the effect of coupled aero-thermo-elastic behaviors in the early design stage of hypersonic vehicle. To this aim, semi-analytic relationships depending on structural deformation are adopted for pressure and thermal load, and the element is formulated based on the relations. The proposed element is implemented in the form of ABAQUS user subroutine, and coupled finite element analysis is carried out to investigate the aero-thermo-elastic behaviors of control surface of hypersonic vehicle. Through the analysis, usefulness of the proposed aerodynamic thermal load element is identified.
