In recent years, concrete-filled box or tubular columns have been commonly used in high-rise buildings. However, a number of fire test results show that there are significant differences between high strength concrete (HSC) and normal strength concrete (NSC) after being subjected to high temperatures. Therefore, this paper presents an investigation on the fire resistance of HSC filled steel tubular columns (CFTCs) under combined temperature and loading. Two groups of full-size specimens were fabricated to consider the effect of type of concrete infilling (plain and reinforced) and the load level on the fire resistance of CFTCs. Prior to fire test, a constant compressive load (i.e., load level for fire design) was applied to the column specimens. Thermal load was then applied on the column specimens in form of ISO 834 standard fire curve in a large-scale laboratory furnace until the set experiment termination condition was reached. The results demonstrate that the higher the axial load level, the worse the fire resistance. Moreover, in the bar-reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular columns, the presence of rebars not only decreased the spread of cracks and the sudden loss of strength, but also contributed to the load-carrying capacity of the concrete core.

Currently, the construction trend of high-rise structures is changing from a cube-shaped box to a free-form. In the case of free-form structures, it is difficult to predict the behavior of the structure because it induces torsional deformation due to inclined columns and the eccentricity of the structure by the horizontal load. For this reason, it is essential to review the stability by considering the design variables at the design stage. In this paper, the position of the weak vertical member was analyzed by analyzing the behavior of the structure according to the change in the core position of the twisted high-rise structures. In the case of the shear wall, the shear force was found to be high in the order of proximity to the center of gravity of each floor of the structure. In the case of the column, the component force was generated by the axial force of the outermost beam, so the bending moment was concentrated on the inner column with no inclination.

The major goal of this study is to develop the industrialized structural system that can build high-rise buildings using the box-shaped steel frames such as a unit module system. In order to achieve such a goal, we need the advanced details for joints that consist in a single unit. Furthermore we also need to commercialize the unit modular building system through the basic experiments, research of theoretical analysis and the achievement of seismic performance. This study derived to develop the derails in the beam-to-column joint and to carry out structural performance test. Test results, a joint with thickness of 6.0T can be possible to maintain the plastic rotational angle for strength and seismic performance. Therefore, joint with thickness of 6.0T is able to apply when considering reinforcement in the local of stress concentration.

Roxithromycin (RXT), which is an antibiotic used to treat respiratory tract and urinary infections, is official in Korean Pharmacopoeia (KP) and is marketed in various dosage forms including tablet, granule, suspension, and tablet for suspension in Korea. This study presents how a universal and reliable method to quantify RXT in bulk drug and formulations was developed. Effects of factors including column type, buffer concentration, type and concentration of organic solvent, buffer pH, and type and concentration of mobile phase additive, were examined, and some categorical or crucial factors including the types of column, organic solvent, mobile phase additive and the buffer pH were optimized by one-factor-at-a-time approach. Subsequently, concentrations of the buffer and additive and column temperature were optimized by response surface methodology using Box-Behnken design aiming to acquire the RXT peak of good shape. The optimized method employed a Phenomenex Gemini $5{\mu}$ C18 110A ($150{\times}4.60mm$, $5{\mu}m$) maintained at $30^{\circ}C$ with the mobile phase consisting of 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) with 0.3 % tetrabutylammonium hydroxide and methanol at a ratio of 37:63 (v/v). Method validation results showed that the developed method was linear, precise, and accurate. Compared to the compendial methods in KP 10 that exhibited a significant tailing of the RXT peak despite using unfavorably high buffer concentrations and were not harmonized among bulk drug and formulations, this method could be universally applied to RXT bulk drug and marketed products in various dosage forms and thus was adopted in KP 11.

In this study, seismic resistance of concrete encased U-shaped steel beam-to-steel H-shaped column connections was evaluated. Three specimens of the beam-to-column connection were tested under cyclic loading. The composite beam was integrated with concrete slab using studs. Re-bars for negative moment were placed in the slab. The primary test parameter was the details of the connections, which are strengthening and weakening strategies for the beam end and the degree of composite action. The depth of the composite beams was 600mm including the slab thickness. The steel beam and the re-bars in the slab were weld-connected to the steel column. For the strengthening strategy, cover plates were weld-connected to the bottom and top flanges of the steel beam. For the weakening strategy, a void using styrofoam box was located inside the core concrete at the potential plastic hinge zone. The test results showed that the fully composite specimens exhibited good strength, deformation, and energy dissipation capacities. The deformation capacity of the beam exceeded 4% rotation angle, which is the requirement for the Special Moment Frame.

In this paper, we presented our implementation of a counter mode AES based on Virtex4 FPGA. Our design exploits three advanced features: composite field arithmetic SubByte, efficient MixColumn transformation, and On-the-Fly Key-Scheduling for fully pipelined architecture. By pipelining the composite field implementation of the S-box, the area cost is reduced to average 17 percent. By designing the On-the-Fly key scheduling, we implemented an efficient key-expander module which is specialized for a pipelined architecture.

For developing the cryogenic air separation unit, it requires some technology such as basic process design. equipment design and manufacturing based on the cryogenic physical properties and separation theory. In this study, we developed a process and equipment for producing high purity nitrogen which has the production capacity of 1600N㎥/h under 1 ppm $O_2$ and $H_2O$. Also we found that the number of theoretical plate(NTP) of distillation column was 44 and maximum nitrogen recovery ration of this process was 42% from the process simulation. The performance test was also carried out for the nitrogen recovery ratio and equipment efficiency. The results showed that the optimum nitrogen recovery was 41% and the maximum equipment efficiency was attained.

This paper presents the results of analytical invesstigation of the buckling behavior of thin-walled box-section column. Throughout this investigation, the single curve for finding the buckling stress at each effective slenderness ratio is derived by modification of the Rankine's formula. The applicable formula in the small slederness region is derived by considering the inelastic behavior of material. Additionally, the bifurcation criterion(slenderness ratio) which can distinguish between the local and overall buckling mode shapes is suggested by equating the local and overall buckling stresses. The overall buckling formula is closely concurrent with the experiments for the rectangular tubes.

This paper presents the results of experimental investigation of the buckling behavior of thin-walled box-section column. The experiments for finding the buckling stress and bifurcation slenderness ratio are performed by the method from AISC. The sets of boundary conditions are both end simply supported, one end simply supported and the other end clamped, and both ends clamped. The types of specimens are clssified by thickness to width ratio. The experiments for the thin-walled rectangular tubes are closely concurrent with the theoretical values of overall buckling load and bifurcation slenderness ratio that are suggested by the part (I) of this paper.

The calculation method which takes into account the shear lag effects on the ultimate transverse bending moment of a SWATH(Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) ship has been developed. In case of the ultimate bending strength analysis of conventional monohull ships and general box girder structures, the hypothesis that plane section remains plane after bending can be employed but not in the case of the structures having wide flange. For the ultimate bending strength analysis of such structures, a new method which can take into account the effect of shear lag on the ultimate bending strength has been developed by adopting more reasonable assumption that warping distortion of the section takes place inthe same way as the actual stress distribution. Finally, the proposed method has been applied to a a SWATH cross deck structure.
