This study evaluates behavior of the Y-type perfobond rib shear connector proposed by Kim et al. (2013). In addition, an empirical shear resistance formula is developed based on push-out tests. Various types of the proposed Y-type perfobond rib shear connectors are examined to evaluate the effects of design variables such as concrete strength, number of transverse rebars, and thickness of rib. It is verified that higher concrete strength increases shear resistance but decreases ductility. Placing transverse rebars significantly increases both the shear resistance and ductility. As the thickness of the ribs increases, the shear resistance increases but the ductility decreases. The experimental results indicate that a Y-type perfobond rib shear connector has higher shear resistance and ductility than the conventional stud shear connector. The effects of the end bearing resistance, resistance by transverse rebars, concrete dowel resistance by holes, and concrete dowel resistance by Y-shape ribs on the shear resistance are estimated empirically based on the push-out test results and the additional push-out test results by Kim et al. (2013). An empirical shear resistance formula is suggested to estimate the shear resistance of a Y-type perfobond shear connector for design purposes. The newly developed shear resistance formula is in reasonable agreement with the experimental results because the average ratio of measured shear resistance to estimated shear resistance is 1.024.

This study was performed to change the latex content for properties of freezing-thawing resistance. When styrene-butadiene latex is added to portland cement, aggregate and water, a concrete with the color, consistency and workability of ordinary conventional concrete results, but with 20% to 35% less water. When cured, the concrete consists of hydrated cement and aggregate interconnected by a film of latex particles. In general, increasing the amount of latex will produce concrete with increased tensile and flexural strength and lower modulus of elasticity. Air entrainment has been used in conventional concrete for the past 50 years to impart freeze-thaw resistance. Latex modified concrete does not need additional air entrainment for freeze-thaw resistance provided adequate cure occurs.

Fire resistance and impact sound insulation tests were performed for a floor assembly, of which stiffness was reinforced by shortening the span of floor joists by installing glulam beam additionally in the middle or one thirds of the original span, and which an additional ceiling component was installed apart from floor structure. By applying the isolated ceiling, timber framed floor showed 1 hour of fire resistance even in case that dead load was increased by considering cement mortar layer for radiant floor heating. Insulation performance against light and heavy impact sound was improved significantly by applying the sound absorbing layer of big mass and high elasticity in addition to the stiffness improvement and isolated ceiling.

In voltage measurement by using voltage divider with series resistors, error is generated caused by the variation of resistance. In order to reduce these errors, the hardware cost tends to increase in the previous works. In the proposed method, three resistors are used for the voltage divider of which the organization is adjusted by using switches. Three voltages are measured and the ratio of resistance is calculated based on the measured voltages. Since the resistance ratio is calculated by measuring voltages and additional hardware cost is minimal, the voltage can be measured with high accuracy and low cost. Experimental results show that the mean absolute error is 12.1 mV when the input voltage ranges from 5 V to 50 V.

Despite various devices have been developed and applied to stabilize the yaw motion, the superiority of twin skeg over other equi-functioned appendages has been recognized so far. In many cases, these skegs were installed with insufficient study and analysis for design, and this leads to the worse performance of their resistance and course keeping than required. Experimental studies on the effect of various kinds of anti-yawing skegs to the course keeping stability and on the additional resistance caused by them were carried out in the circulating water channel(CWC) at Chosun University(CU). Course keeping stability tests for four different size of skegs, resistance tests for three different shapes of skeg(including deformed skegs) were performed systematically. And the effect of angle of skegs on resistance was studied at the final stage.

Anodization is widely used to enhance the properties of aluminum, such as hardness, electric resistance, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance etc. But these properties can be enhanced with additional process. According to the partial crystallization of oxide layer with post heat treatment, enhanced hardness can be expected with partial crystallization. In this study, post heat treatments were applied to the anodized aluminum alloys of Al6061 to achieve the partial crystallization, and crystallizations were evaluated with the reduced breakdown voltages. Interestingly, remarkable enhanced hardness (21~29%), abrasion resistance (26~62%), and reduced breakdown voltage (24~44%) were observed for the sulfuric acid anodized samples when we annealed the anodized samples with 1hour post heat treatment at $360^{\circ}C$. For the Al5052 alloys, a lot of cracks were observed when we applied the post heat treatment.

This experimental study investigated the durability degradation of concrete exposed to freezing and thawing and chloride intrusion. In order to observe the degree of the degradation, 24 MPa, 35 MPa and 60 MPa concretes were used with 4% and 12% calcium chloride solution as freezing water for scaling resistance and freeze - thaw resistance tests. The results show that 24 MPa and 35 MPa concrete had a relatively large decrease in durability due to the freeze-thaw resistance and scaling resistance, but the 60 MPa concrete was not deteriorated significantly. In addition, when the concentration of the solution of calcium chloride was 4%, the degradation of durability was most remarkable. The results of this study suggest when concrete structures such as bridges or roads expose to the environmental conditions, appropriate measures such as increasing the designed standard strength of concrete need to be deliberated and additional studies should be conducted.

Great performance of many semiconductor devices requirs the use of low-resistance ohmic contact. Typically, transmission line method (TLM) patterns are used to measure the specific contact resistance between silicon and metal. In this works, we investigate contact resistance for metal dependent (Cr/Ag, Ni) using TLM pattern based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. The electrode with Ni linearly increases contact resistance as the pattern distance increase from $15{\mu}m$ to $75{\mu}m$ in accumulation part, but non-linearly increase in inversion part. In additional, the electrode with Cr/Ag linearly increases contact resistance as the pattern distance increase from $15{\mu}m$ to $75{\mu}m$ in inversion part, but non-linearly increase in accumulation part.

Main structural steel members need fire-resistance measures to ensure their fire-resistance performance for a prescribed time. This paper analyzes and evaluates the fire-resistance performance of approved Korean fire-protection products for steel columns. These products are classified into products for board protection and for spray protection, samples of which were selected for the analysis. The fire-resistance performance was analyzed on the basis of Korean and European standards. The Korean standards are considered additional to the Euro-code standards for performance design. The Korean standards generally take more precautions to ensure safety on the temperature side, but require the reflection of material properties, the steel temperature calculation methodology, the profile factor, and the strength verification in a fire.

In this study, the pullout resistance characteristic of a wedge-shaped soil nail, made by attaching small steel sticks to the tip of a nail in a wedge shape, was investigated. It was developed to improve the overall pullout resistance capacity of the existing soil nail system, composed of nail and grout, by making the wedge provide additional pullout resistance. In order to evaluate the pullout resistance of the wedge shape-soil nail, field pullout tests were conducted, and the results were compared with those for the existing soil nail without the wedge. The field test results showed that the pullout resistance capacity of the wedge-shaped soil nail was 50% larger than that of the existing soil nail without the wedge.
