This paper aims to experimentally investigate the fire resistance of U-shaped hybrid composite beams protected by spay and paint insulations. Subjected to two and three hours of the Standard ISO fire, the flexural performance of 4.4m beams with/without imposed loadings was examined with respect to failure criteria such as deflection and deflection rate of the mid-span and temperatures measured in the steel section. The results demonstrated that the proposed configuration of the composite beam is able to achieve a very competitive 3-hour fire resistance rating in economical aspects.

By knowledge-based approach, the SDG(Signed Directed Graph) is automatically synthesized, which is commonly used to represent the causal effects between process variables. Automatic synthesis of SDG is progressed by two steps : (1)inference step uses knowledge base and (2)verification step uses Loop-Verifier. First, Topology and Knowledge Base are constructed by using the information on equipment. And then, Primary-SDG is synthesized by Character Pattern Matching between Variable-Relation-Representation generated by using Topology and Variable-Tendency-Data contained in Knowledge Base. Finally, a modified SDG is made after the Primary-SDG is verified by Loop-Verifier.

In this study, Composite beam flexural capacity was investigated experimentally using angle as a shear connector. The main experimental parameters are the size and the spacing of the angle and the overall behavior of before and after composite. Also, the composite beam bending performance when it used with hollow PC slab and the general RC slab was compared. When determining that it synthetically, the flexural capacity of the composite beam with angle shear connector estimated 25% to 55% more strength than the nominal strength. Effects of strength parameters of composite beam by angles shear connector are size and spacing of the angle. As expected, the larger and the narrower spacing of the angles, the more strength the composite beam have. In addition, the performance of the composite beam with a hollow slab was well demonstrated by the test.

To take advantage of reduced on-site construction periods and minimize traffic impacts various types of steel grid composite deck have been developed since 1930's. Modular prefabricated unfilled grid decks permit a long-distance transportation and construction under unfavorable condition, for example, in mountainous regions due to its comparatively light-weighter structure than fully filled grid deck. In this study bending tests of unfilled grid decks for the deck member of various kinds of infrastructure are carried out, bending strength and behaviour of composite action are experimentally evaluated. In this bending test, design variables are considered, such as type of shear connection between steel grid and concrete slab, spacing between cross bars and thickness of concrete slab. Through test results bending strength and behaviour of composite action are evaluated, reference data for proper type of shear connection and other details of the deck, such as spacing between cross bars, are obtained.

In this paper, the existing formulas of the step-by-step method were generalized for effective estimation of responses of complicated composite sections due to long-term deformation of concrete. The initial transformed section properties of the composite section were derived from material and section properties of concrete section and sections which confine the longterm deformation of concrete. The transformed section properties at each step were derived from the effective modulus of elasticity considered the creep coefficient variation. Improved formulas of the step-by-step method for generalized responses were derived by introducing 5 generalized parameters. The formulas can be more simplified by applying constant increment of creep coefficient at each step. The constant increment of creep coefficient at each step can also reduce computing time and make equal computing error of each step. The generalized responses for axial elastic strain of concrete section were most sensitive to the area rate of concrete section, and the ratio of the second moment of the confining section area was more sensitive than that of the concrete section. Those for elastic curvature of concrete section were most sensitive to the ratio of the second moment of concrete section area.

In this study, effects of the reaction pressure were studied for petroleum-based pitch synthesis. A two-stage reaction process was performed based on different reaction pressure conditions. Each stage experiments for the two-stage reaction were consecutively carried out. The first stage was consisted of three different pressure conditions; high (10 bar), normal and low (0.1 bar). And the second stage was carried out at the normal and low (0.1 bar) pressure. The pitch synthesis was realized at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Thermal properties and molecular weight distributions of each samples were investigated by analyzing the softening point and MALDI-TOF data. Volatilized components during the pith synthesis were measured by GC-SIMDIS. In case of the first-step reaction with the high pressure condition, the low molecular weight component participated to the pitch formation more effectively and the pitch with the low softening point was obtained. However, for the case of the first-step with the low pressure, the low molecular weight component was vent outside and the partial coke formation occurred. Eventually, pitch properties such as the softening point and yield were controlled effectively by changing the pressure in the pitch synthesis reaction.

The convolutional neural network is composed of convolutional layers and fully connected layers. The nonlinear activation function is used in each layer of the convolutional layer and the fully connected layer. The activation function being used in a neural network is a function that simulates the method of transmitting information in a neuron that can transmit a signal and not send a signal if the input signal is above a certain criterion when transmitting a signal between neurons. The conventional activation function does not have a relationship with the loss function, so the process of finding the optimal solution is slow. In order to improve this, an agile activation function that generalizes the activation function is proposed. The agile activation function can improve the performance of the deep neural network in a way that selects the optimal agile parameter through the learning process using the primary differential coefficient of the loss function for the agile parameter in the backpropagation process. Through the MNIST classification problem, we have identified that agile activation functions have superior performance over conventional activation functions.

폴리머는 물건 포장, 산업재, 자동차 등 다양하게 사용되는 물질이다. 그런데 이러한 폴리머 제품을 제조하기 위해서는 일정 규모의 생산시설이 필요하다. 최근, 플라즈마를 이용한 여러 가지 폴리머 합성법들이 개발되면서 보다 편리하고 간편한 생산법이 제시되고 있으며, 다양한 분야에서 그 응용가능성을 타진하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비교적 간단하게 플라즈마를 발생시킬 수 있는 대기압 AC 플라즈마 장치를 이용해 가장 많이 응용되고 있는 methyl methacrylate($C^5H^8O^2$)와 ethyl methacrylate($C^6H^{10}O^2$)를 폴리머로 합성했다. 이렇게 합성된 각 폴리머의 여러 가지 특성평가와 합성과정에서 부각된 여러 변수 및 합성 메커니즘에 대해서 살펴본다. 그리고 향후 플라즈마를 이용한 다양한 폴리머합성 가능성과 농업, 식품, 환경개선, 바이오 등의 응용 가능성에 대해서도 살펴볼 예정이다.

A sequential design of experiments was used to optimize MOF-801 synthesis process. For the initial screening, a general 2^k factorial design was selected followed by the central composition design, one of the response surface methods. A 2³ factorial design based on the molar ratio of fumaric acid, dimethylformamide (DMF), and formic acid was performed to select the more suitable response variable for the design of experimental method among the crystallinity and BET specific surface area of MOF-801. After performing 8 synthesis experiments designed by MINITAB 19 software, the characteristic analysis was performed using XRD analysis and nitrogen adsorption method. The crystallinity with R² = 0.999 was found to be more suitable for the experimental method than that of BET specific surface area. Based on analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was confirmed that the molar ratio of fumaric acid and formic acid was a major factor in determining the crystallinity of MOF-801. Through the response optimization and contour plot of two factors, the optimal molar ratio of ZrOCl₂·8H₂O : fumaric acid : DMF : formic acid was 1 : 1 : 39 : 35. In order to optimize the synthesis process, the central composition design on synthesis time and temperature was performed under the identical molar ratio of precursors. The results derived through the designed 9 synthesis experiments were calculated using the quadratic model equation. Thus, the maximum crystallinity of MOF-801 predicted under the synthesis time and temperature of 7.8 h and 123 ℃, respectively.
