This paper reports the results of an experimental program involving several small-scale columns which were constructed to simulate corrosion damage in the field using two accelerated corrosion techniques namely, constant voltage and constant current. A total of six columns were cast for this experiment. For one pair of regular RC columns, corrosion was accelerated using constant voltage and for another pair, corrosion was accelerated using constant current. The remaining pair of regular RC columns was used as control. In the experiment, all the columns were subjected to cyclic wetting and drying using sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The currents were monitored on an hourly interval and cracks were visually checked throughout the test program. After the specimens had suffered sufficient percentage steel loss, all the columns including the control were tested to failure in compression. The test results generated show that accelerated corrosion using impressed constant current produces more corrosion damage than that using constant voltage. The results suggest that the constant current approach can be better used to simulate corrosion damage of reinforced concrete structures and to assess the effectiveness of various materials, repair strategies and admixtures to resist corrosion damage.

본 논문에서는 이변량 구간 중도 절단 자료의 연관성 검정을 연구하고자 한다. Kendall's τ 통계량은 분포의 가정을 필요로 하지 않는 비모수방법으로 연관성 검정을 위해 빈번히 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서도 이러한 τ 통계량을 이용한 검정을 하기 위해 붓스트랩 방법을 적용시킨다. 일반적인 비모수 붓스트랩 방법의 구간 중도 절단에 적용은 편의된 결과를 보여주었다. 이는 구간 중도 절단자료의 불완전성(incompleteness)과 관련된 것으로 이를 극복하기 위해 지렛대 붓스트랩 방법을 적용하였다. 추정된 분포에 근거하여 구간 중도 절단 대신 모의 완전한 표본(pseudo complete data)을 추룰하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 재표본의 크기 m을 결정하기 위해 기존 연구자의 공식을 이용하였다. 시행된 모의 실험의 결과는 바람직한 제 1종 오류값과 좋은 검정력을 보였주었으며 실제 적용 예로 AIDS 자료에서 HIV 감염시점과 바이러스 잠복 시간과의 연관성 여부를 검정해보았다.

Mobile devices have become an important part of daily life. This is especially true of laptop PCs, which are portable enough to be used almost anywhere. Laptop PCs, however, cannot be nomadic if each component is not robust enough to endure rugged laptop operating environment. Generally, external shock makes collision on head-disk interface and damage to read-write performance. To minimize the likelihood of failure, shock analysis must be incorporated into the design of hard disk drive in laptop. This research explores the structure modification of laptop HDD base, for improving shock performance using finite element analysis which considers the flexibility of whole HDD structure. FE model is verified by modal test and finely tuned. Then we obtained the transmitted acceleration of spindle and pivot and the relative displacement between disk and slider head as shock response. Based on shock simulation, the structural dynamics modification is performed and the primary design parameters are extracted.

This paper studies the lateral impact behavior of ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) filled double-skin steel tubular (UHPFRCFDST) columns. The impact force, midspan deflection, and strain histories were recorded. Based on the test results, the influences of drop height, axial load, concrete type, and steel tube wall thickness on the impact resistance of UHPFRCFDST members were analyzed. LS-DYNA software was used to establish a finite element (FE) model of UHPFRC filled steel tubular members. The failure modes and histories of impact force and midspan deflection of specimens were obtained. The simulation results were compared to the test results, which demonstrated the accuracy of the finite element analysis (FEA) model. Finally, the effects of the steel tube thickness, impact energy, type of concrete and impact indenter shape, and void ratio on the lateral impact performances of the UHPFRCFDST columns were analyzed.

Fast-built construction is a key feature for successful applications of precast concrete (PC) moment frame system in recent construction practices. To this end, by introducing some unique splicing details in precast connections, especially between PC columns including panel zones, use of temporary supports and bracings can be minimized based on their self-sustaining nature. In addition, precast wide beams are commonly adopted for better economic feasibility. In this study, three self-sustaining precast concrete (PC) wide beam-column connection specimens were fabricated and tested under reversed cyclic loadings, and their seismic performances were quantitatively evaluated in terms of strength, ductility, failure modes, energy dissipation and stiffness degradation. Test results were compared with ASCE 41-17 nonlinear modeling curves and its corresponding acceptance criteria. On this basis, an improved macro modeling method was explored for a more accurate simulation. It appeared that all the test specimens fully satisfy the acceptance criteria, but the implicit joint model recommended in ASCE 41-17 tends to underestimate the joint shear stiffness of PC wide beam-column connection. While, the explicit joint model along with concentrated plastic hinge modeling technique is able to present better accuracy in simulating the cyclic responses of PC wide beam-column connections.

콘크리트의 일축압축실험에서 축하중이 발생함에 따라 새로운 균열이 발생하고 이 균열의 확장이 파괴의 주된 원인이 되는 경우가 대부분인데 이는 입자 결합 모델에서 입자간의 결합이 파괴되어 해석 대상체의 균열 모사와 유사하게 해석될 수 있어 콘크리트의 표준 공시체에 대하여 일축압축실험의 모사 가능성을 연구하였다. 그러나 입자 결합 모델은 해석 대상체를 입자간의 집합체로 모사하기 때문에 입자간의 결합을 결정하는 미시변수에 의해서 해석 대상의 거시물성이 변하게 되어 이들 변수간의 정량적인 관계를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서 사용된 접촉 결합 모델에서는 총 8개의 미시변수가 있어 이들 변수와 일축압축실험결과 나오는 거시물성-탄성계수, 일축압축강도, 포아송비-와 콘크리트의 압축파괴거동에 관련이 있는 균열 개시 응력과 일축압축강도와의 비로서 5개의 거시물성에 대하여 부분배치법 및 회귀분석을 통하여 이들 간의 정량적인 관계를 도출하였고 그 결과 일축압축강도를 가정한 가상시료 및 조사 자료로부터 얻은 일축압축강도를 비교적 잘 모사할 수 있었다. 또한 해석을 수행한 공시체의 응력-변형률 곡선이나 응력 수준별 균열 발생의 빈도 및 파괴거동을 관찰한 결과 일반적인 콘크리트의 일축압축하중 하에서의 파괴거동과 상당부분 유사함을 보여 입자 결합 모델을 이용하여 콘크리트 공시체에 대한 일축압축실험을 잘 모사할 수 있다고 본다.

In this paper, tensile behavior of joint filling has been investigated under experimental test and numerical simulation (particle flow code). Two concrete slabs containing semi cylinder hole were prepared. These slabs were attached to each other by glue and one cubic specimen with dimension of 19 cm×15 cm×6 cm was prepared. This sample placed in the universal testing machine where the direct tensile stress can be applied to this specimen by implementing a special type of load transferring device which converts the applied compressive load to that of the tensile during the test. In the present work, two different joint filling thickness i.e., 3 mm and 6 mm were prepared and tested in the laboratory to measure their direct tensile strengths. Concurrent with experimental test, numerical simulation was performed to investigate the effect of hole diameter, length of edge notch, filling thickness and filling length on the tensile behavior of joint filling. Model dimension was 19 cm×15 cm. hole diameter was change in four different values of 2.5 cm, 5 cm, 7.5 cm and 10 cm. glue lengths were different based on the hole diameter, i.e., 12.5 cm for hole diameter of 2.5 cm, 10 cm for hole diameter of 5 cm, 7.5 cm for hole diameter of 7.5 cm and 5 cm for hole diameter of 10 cm. length of edge notch were changed in three different value i.e., 10%, 30% and 50% of glue length. Filling thickness were changed in three different value of 3 mm, 6 mm and 9 mm. Tensile strengths of glue and concrete were 2.37 MPa and 6.4 MPa, respectively. The load was applied at a constant rate of 1 kg/s. Results shows that hole diameter, length of edge notch, filling thickness and filling length have important effect on the tensile behavior of joint filling. In fixed glue thinks and fixed joint length, the tensile strength was decreased by increasing the hole diameter. Comparing the results showed that the strength, failure mechanism and fracture patterns obtained numerically and experimentally were similar for both cases.

In order to verify the applicability of buckling restrained braces (BRB's) and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets to the seismic strengthening of a low-rise RC building having the irregularities of a soft/weak story and torsion at the ground story, a series of earthquake simulation tests were conducted on a 1:5 scale RC building model before, and after, the strengthening, and these test results are compared and analyzed, to check the effectiveness of the strengthening. Based on the investigations, the following conclusions are made: (1) The BRB's revealed significant slips at the joint with the existing RC beam, up-lifts of columns from RC foundations and displacements due to the flexibility of foundations, and final failure due to the buckling and fracture of base joint angles. The lateral stiffness appeared to be, thereby, as low as one seventh of the intended value, which led to a large yield displacement and, therefore, the BRB's could not dissipate seismic input energy as desired within the range of anticipated displacements. (2) Although the strengthened model did not behave as desired, great enhancement in earthquake resistance was achieved through an approximate 50% increase in the lateral resistance of the wall, due to the axial constraint by the peripheral BRB frames. Finally, (3) whereas in the original model, base torsion was resisted by both the inner core walls and the peripheral frames, the strengthened model resisted most of the base torsion with the peripheral frames, after yielding of the inner core walls, and represented dual values of torsion stiffness, depending on the yielding of core walls.
