강합성 교량에서 강 거더와 콘크리트 바닥판의 합성을 위한 전단연결재로는 용접접합 머리붙이 스터드가 주로 사용된다. 용접접합 전단연결재의 경우, 손상 또는 노후화된 바닥판 철거 시에 파쇄에 따른 소음, 비산먼지 등이 발생하여 환경적 문제가 지적되고 있다. 따라서 환경적 문제 및 생애주기비용 관점의 효율적인 유지관리를 위해서는 노후화된 콘크리트 바닥판의 교체가 용이한 분리식 전단연결재 개발이 필요하다. 기존의 볼트접합 전단연결재로는 매립너트 방식이 주로 연구되었으나 낮은 강성과 전단저항강도, 초기슬립 증가 등으로 교량과 같은 토목구조물에는 활용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기 위해 매립너트 부분이 스터드 기둥에 일체화되고 확대 기둥 하단에 테이퍼진 형상을 갖는 분리식 볼트접합 전단연결재를 제안하였다. 제안된 분리식 스터드볼트의 정적 전단강도와 슬립 변위에 대한 성능 검증을 위해 수평전단실험을 수행하였고, 기존 용접접합 스터드와 성능을 비교하였다. 제안된 분리식 볼트접합 전단연결재가 전단성능이 매우 우수하고, 슬립변위 또한 연성설계기준을 만족함으로써 기존 용접 스터드를 충분히 대체하여 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

The grain boundary etching method as a method for assessing degradation of structural materials has received much attention because it is simple, inexpensive and easy to apply to real components. In this study, the effectiveness of the method is verified by successfully applying the technique to in-service components of aged fossil power plants such as main steam pipes, boiler headers an turbine rotors. A new degradation parameter, intersecting number ratio (N$_{1}$/N$_{0}$), is employed. The intersecting number ratio (N$_{1}$/N$_{0}$) is defined as the ratio of intersection number (N$_{1}$) obtained from 5-minute picric acid etched surface to the number (N$_{0}$) obtained from nital etched surface. Two kinds of test materials, 2.25Cr-1Mo steel and 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel, were artificially thermal-aged at 630.deg. C in different levels of degradation., (N$_{1}$/N$_{0}$) were measured. And, correlations between the measured values and LMP values calculated from aging temperature and aging time were sought. To check the validity of the correlations obtained in laboratory, similar data were measured from service components in four old Korean fossil power plants. These on-site measurement data were in good correlation with those obtained in the laboratory.oratory.

Special track systems used to divert a train to other directions or other tracks are generally called 'railway turnout'. A traditional turnout system consists of steel rails, switches, crossings, steel plates, fasteners, screw spikes, timber bearers, ballast and formation. The wheel rail contact over the crossing transfer zone has a dip-like shape and can often cause detrimental impact loads on the railway track and its components. The large impact also emits disturbing noises (either impact or ground-borne noise) to railway neighbors. In a brown-field railway track where an existing aged infrastructure requires renewal or maintenance, some physical constraints and construction complexities may dominate the choice of track forms or certain components. With the difficulty to seek for high-quality timbers with dimensional stability, a methodology to replace aged timber bearers in harsh dynamic environments is to adopt an alternative material that could mimic responses and characteristics of timber in both static and dynamic loading conditions. A critical review has suggested an application of an alternative material called fibre-reinforced foamed urethane (FFU). The full-scale capacity design makes use of its comparable engineering characteristics to timber, high-impact attenuation, high damping property, and a longer service life. A field trial to investigate in-situ behaviours of a turnout grillage system using an alternative material, 'fibre-reinforced foamed urethane (FFU)' bearers, has been carried out at a complex turnout junction under heavy mixed traffics at Hornsby, New South Wales, Australia. The turnout junction was renewed using the FFU bearers altogether with new special track components. Influences of the FFU bearers on track geometry (recorded by track inspection vehicle 'AK Car'), track settlement (based on survey data), track dynamics, and acoustic characteristics have been measured. Operational train pass-by measurements have been analysed to evaluate the effectiveness of the replacement methodology. Comparative studies show that the use of FFU bearers generates higher rail and sleeper accelerations but the damping capacity of the FFU help suppress vibration transferring onto other track components. The survey data analysis suggests a small vertical settlement and negligible lateral movement of the turnout system. The static and dynamic behaviours of FFU bearers appear to equate that of natural timber but its service life is superior.

A thermal aging is observed in a primary reactor cooling system(RCS) made of a casting stainless steel when the RCS is exposed for long period at the reactor operating temperature, 290~3300C An investigation of effects of thermal aging on a low cycle fatigue characteristics included a stress variations caused by a reactor operation and trip, is required. The purpose of the present investigation is to find an effect of a thermal aging of the CF8M on a low cycle fatigue life. The specimen of CF8M are prepared by an artificially accelerated aging technique holding 300 and 1800hr at 4300C respectively. The low cycle fatigue tests for the virgin and two aged specimens are performed at the room temperature for various strain amplitudes($\varepsilon$ta), 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5% strain. Through the experiment, it is found that the fatigue life is rapidly reduced with an creasing of the aging time. The experimental fatigue life estimation formulas between the virgin and two aged specimen are obtained and are proposed to a analysis purpose.

철제유물의 보존처리 과정 중 표면 이물질 제거는 유물의 원형을 찾아주는 중요한 단계이다. 현재 표면 이물질 제거 시 가장 많이 사용하는 sand blaster (air brasive)의 경우, 분사되는 유리가루는 인체에 유해하고 환경오염을 유발하는 주요한 물질이다. 그러므로 이런 문제점을 보완하기 위해 타 산업분야에서 친환경세정장비로 많이 쓰이고 있는 $CO_2$ snow cleaning을 철제유물 표면 이물질 제거에 적용하여 비교·연구 하였다. 실험은 부식시험편과 철제유물에 sand blaster와 $CO_2$ snow cleaning을 적용하여 비교 분석하였다. 부식시험편의 경우, sand blaster와 $CO_2$ snow cleaning 방법 모두 이물질 제거 정도, 표면 거칠기, 색도 측정 결과가 유사하게 나타났으며, 특히 SEM을 통해 $CO_2$ snow cleaning을 적용한 부식시험편은 sand blaster에 비해 표면을 마모시키지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 철제유물에 적용한 경우, $CO_2$ snow cleaning의 power nozzle은 sand blaster에 비해 표면을 마모시키지 않고 고른 표면을 유지하는 등 세정효과가 우수하게 나타났다. 그리고 X-ray촬영을 통해 이물질 제거 전과 후 금속 내부의 구조적 변화는 없음을 관찰하였다. 결론적으로 sand blaster와 $CO_2$ snow cleaning의 power nozzle은 이물질 제거 효과가 유사함을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 $CO_2$ snow cleaning의 power nozzle을 철제유물에 적용하여도 sand blaster와 유사한 효과는 얻을 수 있으나, 분사압력이 높을 경우 철제 유물이 손상될 우려가 있으므로 유물 내부 상태에 따라 적용여부를 판단해야 함을 본 실험을 통하여 알 수 있었다.

The influence of the cooling condition after solution treatment on the high temperature fatigue resistance of 23Cr-26Ni heat resistant steel was investigated. Two different cooling conditions were applied to the steel after solution treatment at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. One specimen was water quenched immediately after the solution treatment. The other one was furnace cooled at a rate of $0.5^{\circ}C/min$ down to $750^{\circ}C$ after the solution treatment. Then, both specimens were aged at $750^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. Under two different heat treatment conditions, the low cycle fatigue (LCF) test was performed at $600^{\circ}C$ and room temperature (RT). Only cyclic hardening continued from the beginning until fracture at all strain amplitudes during LCF at $600^{\circ}C$. This phenomenon was attributed to the increase in the dislocation density due to cyclic deformation, which resulted in the interaction between the newly created dislocations and precipitates. Cyclic hardening followed by saturation and cyclic softening was observed at RT. Cyclic softening was attributed to the dislocation annihilation rate exceeding the dislocation generation rate. Other probable factor for cyclic softening was some cavities formed around grain boundaries after 20 cycles. WQ and FC have a similar LCF behavior at RT and $600^{\circ}C$ as shown in the cyclic stress response curves.

The thermal aging effects on mechanical properties and microstructures in China low-activation martensitic steel have been tested by aging at $550^{\circ}C$ for 2,000 hours, 4,000 hours, and 10,000 hours. The microstructure was analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the grain size and martensitic lath increased by about $4{\mu}m$ and $0.3{\mu}m$, respectively, after thermal exposure at $550^{\circ}C$ for 10,000 hours. MX type particles such as TaC precipitated on the matrix and Laves-phase was found on the martensitic lath boundary and grain boundary on aged specimens. The mechanical properties were investigated with tensile and Charpy impact tests. Tensile properties were not seriously affected by aging. Neither yield strength nor ultimate tensile strength changed significantly. However, the ductile-brittle transition temperature of China low-activation martensitic steel increased by $46^{\circ}C$ after aging for 10,000 hours due to precipitation and grain coarsening.

Degradation and recovery of damping capacity in a Cu-65%Mn alloy have been studied. When the alloy was isothermally aged at $400^{\circ}C$, the highest damping capacity was observed after aging for 4 hours. In case when the alloy aged at $400^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours was maintained at $100^{\circ}C$, the damping capacity gradually decreased with time. The microstructural observations showed that the formation of subdomains and ${\alpha}$-Mn precipitates are responsible for the degradation of damping capacity. When the degraded specimen was reheated at $250^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes, the damping capacity was recovered considerably owing to the redistribution of impurity atoms, the extinction of subdomains and the release of damping sources from ${\alpha}$-Mn precipitates during the repeated transformation, fcc${\leftrightarrow}$fct.

The Poisson ratio reduction of symmetric hygrothermal aged $[{\theta}_m/90_n]_s$ composite laminates containing a transverse cracking in mid-layer is predicted by using a modified shear-lag model. Good agreement is obtained by comparing the prediction models and experimental data published by Joffe et al. (2001). The material properties of the composite are affected by the variation of temperature and transient moisture concentration distribution in desorption case, and are based on a micro-mechanical model of laminates. The transient and non-uniform moisture concentration distribution give rise to the transient Poisson ratio reduction. The obtained results represent well the dependence of the Poisson ratio degradation on the cracks density, fibre orientation angle of the outer layers and transient environmental conditions. Through the presented study, we hope to contribute to the understanding of the hygrothermal behaviour of cracked composite laminate.
