The analysis and experimental program of reinforced concrete (RC) structures for resistance against such extreme loads as earthquake, blast, and impact have been carried by many researchers and designers. Under the extreme loads, a large amount of energy is suddenly exerted to the structure, hence if the structure fails to absorb the impact energy, catastrophic collapse may occur. To prevent catastrophic collapse of structures, reinforced concrete must have adeguate toughness or it needs to be strengthened. The FRP strengthening method and SFRC are studied widely in resistance of impact load because of their high energy absorption capacity. In this study, drop weight impact tests were implemented to evaluate the impact resistance of SFRC and FRP strengthened RC beam while the total steel fiber volume fractions was fixed at 0.75% carbon FRP flexural strengthened RC beams. Futhermore, to prevent the shear-plug cracks when the impact load strikes the beams, additional FRP shear strengthening method are applied. The experimental, results showed that the FRP strengthened RC SFRC beams has high resistance of shear-plug cracks and crack width and SFRC has high resistance of concrete spalling failure compared to normal RC beams. The FRP flexural and shear strengthening RC beams has weakness in the spalling failure because the impact load concentrated the concrete face which is not strengthened with FRP sheets.

Various vibration caused by construction vehicles and equipment movement, rock blasting, and crushing obstacle occurs inevitably in construction sites. In this study, we measured the impact of vibration by blasting rock at construction sites, rock crushing, concrete crushing. The measuring instrument was installed in adjacent buildings and observed that blasting vibration differs depending on the charge weight, blasting distance, and the measuring position. The observation was maintained by allowable peak particle velocity standard according to each standards and references.

Fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites are widely used to provide protection against ballistic impact and blast events. There are several factors that govern the structural response and mechanical properties of a textile composite structure, of which the fiber-matrix interfacial behavior is a crucial determinant. This paper reviews the microbond or microdroplet test methodology that is used to characterize the fiber-matrix interfacial behavior, particularly the interface shear strength (IFSS). The various analytical, experimental, and numerical approaches applied to the microbond test are reviewed in detail.

The surfacing of bridge-decks are object to secure trafficability and to protect bridge face from impact load of traffic volume and other external conditions. But the deformation of pavements and cracks happen due to the damage of the bridge-decks surfacing from the increase of the traffic, short maintenance period and continuous vibration of bridge. This test is to make the 3-type high performance concrete that has different mixing ratio and is added the blast furnace slag, fly ash and silica respectively, and to compare 3-type high performance concrete of normal high strength concrete of $400kgf/cm^2$ strength through the static loading test and fatigue test. And test specimen is united floor slab and pavement for the durability of bridge.

In real world applications, the response of structures may be dependent on the rate of loading and thus can be affected by transient loading, especially when the rate of loading is significant. In such situations, the rate of loading may become a major issue to understand structures during earthquake excitation or under blast or high velocity impact. In some cases, the rate effect on structures under strong earthquake excitation cannot be ignored when attempting to understand inelastic behavior of structures. Many researchers developed the constitutive theories in cyclic plasticity and viscoplasticity. In this study, numerical simulation by cyclic visocoplasticity models is introduced and analyzed. Finally, the analytical results are compared with experimental results as a means to evaluate and verify the model.

Porous polymer concrete can be applied to roads, sidewalks, river embankment, drain pipes, conduits, retaining walls, yards, parking lots, plazas, interlocking blocks, etc. This study is to examine a content ratio of polypropylene fiber to improve bending strength, impact resistance and freezing and thawing rssistance of porous polymer concrete. Also, this study is performed to develop the porous polymer concrete using recycled coarse aggregate and blast furnace slag for application of structures needed permeability. At 7 days of curing, compressive strength, flexural strength, water permeability and flexural load are in the ragge of $17\~21MPa,\;5\~7MPa,\;4.1\times10^{-2}\~7.7\times10^{-2}cm/s$, respectively. It is concluded that the recycled aggregate can be used in the porous polymer concretes.

Three kinds of the sialon ceramics with and without TiN additions were hot pressed. Hardness and fracture toughness were measured with prepared specimens to study the effect of additives on the mechanical properties. A gas blast type erosion tester was employed to examine erosion behavior of the specimens up to 600 $^{\circ}$C. Erosion tests showed an increase of erosion rate up to 400 $^{\circ}$C and a gradual decrease of erosion rate 500 $^{\circ}$C for all kinds of sialon. The results also showed that erosion rates of the sialons were controlled better by microstructure factors than by mechanical properties such as fracture toughness.

Hardness and fracture toughness were measured with prepared specimens to study the effect of additives on the mechanical properties. A gas blast type erosion tester was employed to examine erosion behavior of the specimens up to $600^{\circ}C$. Erosion tests showed an increase of erosion rate up to 40$0^{\circ}C$ and a gradual decrease of erosion rate up to 50$0^{\circ}C$ for all kinds of sialon. The results also showed that erosion rates of the sialons were controlled better by microstructural factors than by mechanical properties including fracture toughness and hardness.

In most plant layout optimization researches, MILP(Mixed Integer Linear Programming) problems, in which the objective function includes the costs of pipelines connecting process equipment and cost associated with safety issues, have been employed. Based on these MILP problems, various optimization solvers have been applied to investigate the optimal solutions. To consider safety issues on the objective function of MILP problems together, the accurate information about the impact and the frequency of potential accidents in a plant should be required to evaluate the safety issues. However, it is really impossible to obtain accurate information about potential accidents and this limitation may reduce the reliability of a plant layout problem. Moreover, in real industries such as plant engineering companies, the plant layout is previously fixed and the considerations of various safety instruments and systems have been performed to guarantee the plant safety. To reflect these situations, the two step optimization problems have been designed in this study. The first MILP model aims to minimize the costs of pipelines and the land size as complying sufficient spaces for the maintenance and safety. After the plant layout is determined by the first MILP model, the optimal locations of blast walls have been investigated to maximize the mitigation impacts of blast walls. The particle swarm optimization technique, which is one of the representative sampling approaches, is employed throughout the consideration of the characteristics of MILP models in this study. The ethylene oxide plant is tested to verify the efficacy of the proposed model.
