Although the pile Load test provides various informations to predict the bearing capacity of a pile, it has a considerable difficulty of requiring a large amount of weight to enable the test pile to be loaded sufficiently until the yielding or ultimate load is obtained. Many graphical and mathematical methods have been attempted to estimate the bearing capacity from the result of a vertical load test without loading to failure. In the previous work an analytical method to estimate the failure load using the maxi mum curvature which was based on the Southwell's theory was presented by the author. The failure load, as proposed by Crowther, should be defined as the load at which the predefined that criteria are exceeded. The allowable loads by Davisson's method and DIN 4014 were compared with the loads of piles using the maximum curvature, and this paper proposed the allowable load in which the safety factor of the maximum curvature was 2.5. As a result of study, it was reasonable to conclude that the allowable load determined by the maximum curvature method could estimate the vertical bearing capacity from the pile load test without loading to failure.

This study evaluates the yield load and allowable bearing capacity of ground in compressive loading tests to confirm the effect of CPR foundation reinforcement. The average compressive strength of the injection materials was higher than the planned compressive strength. Standard penetration tests for each stratum showed that foundation reinforcement improved the average N values, thereby increasing the bearing capacity of the ground. Compressive loading tests on two CPR piles revealed that the total and net settlement due to the maximum load exceed that permissible for the CPR pile diameter. The yield load and allowable bearing capacity calculated by the settlement criterion and the load-settlement curves varied greatly with the method applied. Therefore, it seems to be necessary to determine the optimum value through comprehensive analysis after applying various yield load calculation methods.

SFRC(Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete) has advantage of crack resistance and ductility failure behavior. But the study which investigated about effect of steel fiber under bearing stress is not to be enough, and it does not be sure of criterion of SFRC for allowable bearing stress formula in internal specification. The purpose of this study is to clear the influence of SFRC on the bearing capacity and ductility of material through static loading test. additionally, arrive an allowable bearing stress formula for SFRC and examine mechanical behaviro by the 3-D finite element analysis.

Steel making using EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) consists of three major processes: molten steel making, slab casting and hot rolling. Orders from customers, which includes their requirements such as composition, order quantity with allowable range, width, thichness, and unit weight of coils etc, are grouped as charges for EAF to enhance the productivity of the furnace. This paper develops an efficient grouping algorithm for charges in the EAF by exploiting the order characteristics: the allowable ranges of furnace capacity, order quantity, and unit weight of coils. Numerical test shows that the proposed heuristic works very efficiently and the results are quite satisfactory.

Proposed are model and its solution algorithm for determining the minimum number of high speed exits and their locations. While the previous researches on exit location aimed to minimize the average runway occuancy time (ROT) of an aircraft mix, the proposed approach is to find the minimum number of exits required to meet maximum allowable ROT. The rationale behind the approach is that the capacity of a runway increases as the ROT decreases down to some value, but not any more even though the ROT keep decreasing below the value. Hence, a maximum allowable ROT might be set up without declining the capacity. The problem is transformed into a shortest path problem on a specially constructed network and Dijkstra's labeling algorithms is employed to solve the problem A hypothetical example is provided to illustrate how the algorithms solves the problem.

Current engineering practice in determining sectional dimensions of prestressed concrete (PSC) girders for bridges is primarily based on the code-specified allowable concrete stresses at different loading stages. It is customary that tendons and sectional dimensions are calibrated and tendon forces are applied at once at the initial stage to keep the subsequent stresses occurring at different loading stages within the allowable stresses. This traditional tensioning method, however, usually results in a too conservative sectional depth in view of ultimate capacity of a girder. A new design method which can realize the reduction of sectional depth of PSC girders is theoretically suggested in this study. Tendons are tensioned twice at different loading stages: the initial stage and the stage after fresh slab concrete is cast. It can be shown that according to this technique, sectional depth can be significantly reduced and larger span can be realized compared to traditional ones. Parametric studies are performed with due considerations given to its practical applications.

This paper presents the design, construction and performance of ground treatment to support road embankment on refuse landfill. Long-term settlement of refuse landfill is analysised by Sower and Yen/scanlon. As a results of site test, predicting settlement excess the allowable settlement and ultimate bearing capacity is not satisfied. The effectiveness of DDR(Deep Dynamic Replacement) is monitered by field tests (SPT, PBT, PMT) before, during and after construction of the stone columns. The ultimate bearing capacity for reinforced landfill by stone columns obtained from the in-situ test results has been compared with the existing theories. In municipal wastes landfill, settlement after treatment using stone column is satisfied to allowable residual settlement. Therefore, long-term stability can be gain in these cases.

Whether over taking or parallel sailing of two or more vessels is allowable on marine traffic route or not, the traffic congestion due to traffic volume has to be evaluated separately. In Gaduk-sudo, overtaking or parallel sailing is so allowable that the Bumper Model is introduced to evaluated the traffic congestion. But the channels within the habour limit such as the route of Ulsan New Port are so prohibited overtaking or parallel sailing that the traffic congestion has to be evaluated by using theoretical traffic capacity or by traffic simulation. In this paper, the congestion of Southern New Port and Mipo Port was evaluated the congestion by using theoretical traffic capacity and the other area of Ulsan Port by traffic simulation. The incresed traffic volumes on Ulsan Channels according to Ulsan New Port Development in 2011 were evaluated to have no effect with the traffic congestion.
