The objective of this study is to introduce the development of the first Korean full-scale APT(Accelerated Pavement Tester) and to compare the performances of general dense grade asphalt mixture and modified asphalt mixtures as the first running of the tester. The tests evaluated the rutting resistance for dense grade mixture and three different modified asphalt mixture under three different temperature conditions (25-30, 40, $50^{\circ}C$). The results of the testing were compared with the laboratory test results. Results of the tests indicated that the all the modified asphalt sections showed higher rutting resistance than the dense grade section. Especially, the difference was more noticeable at higher temperature condition. Additionally, $G^*/sin{\delta}$ is found out to be an important factor for permanent deformation prediction whereas the resilient modulus was not.

In this study, compression tests for the polyisocyanurate foam which is recognized as the insulation material for the storage tank of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) were carried out for investigation of the material characteristic of mechanical behavior. Deformation recovery ratio according to the various initial deformation levels were estimated and the mechanical behavior of foams that are experienced compressive deformation was also obtained experimentally. The test results were analyzed based on the conditions of initially applied strain level and engineering strain rate.

This study is to develope the resilient modulus prediction model, which is the function of mean effective principal stress and axial strain, for three types of railroad trackbed materials such as crushed stone, weathered granite soil, and crushed-rock soil mixture. The model consists of the maximum Young's modulus and nonlinear values for higher strain, analogous to dynamic shear modulus. The maximum value is modeled by model parameters, $A_E$ and the power of mean effective principal stress, $n_E$. The nonlinear portion is represented by modified hyperbolic model, with the model parameters of reference strain, ${\varepsilon}_r$ and curvature coefficient, a. To assess the performance of the prediction models proposed herein, the elastic response of a test trackbed near PyeongTaek, Korea, was evaluated using a 3-D elastic multilayer computer program (GEOTRACK). The results were compared with measured elastic vertical displacement during the passages of freight and passenger trains at two locations, whose sub-ballasts were crushed stone and weathered granite soil, respectively. The calculated vertical displacements of the sub-ballasts are within the order of 0.6mm, and agree well with measured values. The prediction models are thus concluded to work properly in the preliminary investigation.

This study was carried out to investigate the long-term deformation of superplasticized concrete. Compressive strength, shrinkage, creep and creep recovery of concretes with and without the superplasticizing admixture have been compared for one year. The test results on creep of superplasticized concrete were also compared with three methods of predicting creep; the ACI model, the CEB model and the BP model. According to test results, superplasticized concrete has good results in compressive strength at an age of 28 days of more than 22%, drying-shrinkage cured at air-conditioned storage less than 15%, creep deformation in air conditioned storage and loaded at an age of 28 days to 15% of compressive strength less than 11% of control concrete.

In this paper, finite element analyses were used to estimate the strain distribution at the fracture site of a tibia bone. A stainless steel bone plate and various composite bone plates were considered to find out the best conditions for callus generation while bone fracture was cured for 16 weeks. Through this research, the appropriate load condition which makes the strains between the appropriate range($2{\sim}10%$) was sought. From this analysis, it was found that lower level of external load is needed for the appropriate strain for the case of composite bone plate application and it was also found that the composite bone plate had potential advantages for effective bone fracture healing relieved stress shielding effect.

The shield TBM method is widely adopted for tunneling works in urban area because it has more beneficial ways to control settlement at ground surface than conventional mined tunneling. In the shield tunneling, backfill grouting at tail void is crucial because it is supposed not only to restraint ground deformation around tail void during excavation but also to compensate precedent ground settlement by pushing up the ground with highly pressurized grout. However, the tail void grouting has been found to be ineffective for settlement compensation particularly in sandy ground, which might be caused by complicate interaction between ground and tail void grouting. In this paper, the effects of tail void grouting on behavior of ground in shield TBM tunneling were investigated based on 3-dimensional finite element analyses. The results of numerical analyses indicated that backfill grouting actually reduces settlement by degrading settlement increasing rate in excavation, which means decrease of volume loss. Meanwhile, the grouting could not contribute to compensate the precedent settlement, because reduction of volume loss by grouting was found to be counterbalanced by volume change of ground.

This paper presents a cloth simulation technique that implements plastic deformation. Plasticity is the property that material does not restore completely to the original state once deformed, in contrast to elasticity. We model cloth using a particle model, and posit two kinds of connections between particles, i.e. the sequential connections between immediate neighbors, and the interlaced connections between every other neighbors. The sequential connections represent the compression and tension of cloth, and the interlaced connections the bending in cloth. The sequential connections are modeled by elastic springs, and the interlaced connections by elastic or plastic spring depending on the amount of the current deformation of the connections. Our model is obtained by adding plastic springs to the existing elastic particle model of cloth. Using the new model, we have been able to simulate bending wrinkles, permanently deformed wrinkles, and small wrinkles widely distributed over cloth. When constructing elastic and plastic spring models for sequential and interlaced connections, we took pain to prevent the stiffness matrix of the whole cloth system from being indefinite, in order to help achieve physical stability of the cloth motion equation and to improve the effectiveness of the numerical method.

Reinforced trackbeds are an important layer that has a significant effect on the deformation of the track, therefore, a deeper understanding of reinforced trackbeds is necessary. In this paper, we conduct a large triaxial test in order to evaluate the resilient modulus ($M_R$) of reinforced trackbed materials through considering several factors such as the grain size distribution (GSD) and loading conditions. It is identified that the maximum size of the particle, GSD, and compacted water content affect the $M_R$ but the loading frequency does not. Because these tests are performed with consideration of the field environment, the test results are useful for analyzing tracks including reinforced trackbeds. The data are limited to evaluating the parameters of $M_R$ model; however the parameters of the deviatoric and bulk stress models that can be used in various loading conditions are proposed.

Shape memory alloys (SMA) are often used in smart structures as active components. Their ability to provide large recovery forces and displacements has been useful in many applications, including devices for artificial muscles, active structural acoustic control, and shape control. Based on the 3-dimensional SMA constitutive equation in this paper, the radial displacement control of externally pressurized circular and semicircular composite cylinders under external pressure with a thin SMA layer bonded on its inner surface or inserted between composite layers in investigated using 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Upon actuation through resistive heating, SMAs start to transform from martensitic into austenitic state, simultaneously recover the prestrain, and thus cause the composite cylinders to go back to their original shapes of the cylinder cross-sections.
