The permeation grouting is a commonly used technique to improve the engineering geology condition of the soft ground. It is of great significance to predict the permeation range of the grout so as to ensure the effects of grouting. This paper conducts a theoretical analysis of jet-grouting effects in ground improvement and rotary grouting pile installation by utilizing deformation-permeation coupled poroelastic solutions based on Biot's theory and Laplace-Fourier integral transform technique. The exponential function and the intermittent trigonometric function are chosen to represent time-dependent grouting pressure usually encountered in ground improvement and rotary grouting pile installation process, respectively. The results, including the radial displacement, the hoop stress, the excess pore fluid pressure, the radial discharge, and the permeation radius of grout, are presented for different grouting time, radial positions and grouting lengths. Parametric study is conducted to explore the effects of variation of the exponent in the exponential grouting pressure-time relationship on grouting-induced responses. It is expected that the proposed solutions can be used to estimate the permeation range of grouting in ground improvement and rotary grouting pile installation.

Current paper deals with thermoelastic static and free vibrational behaviors of axisymmetric thick cylinders reinforced with functionally graded (FG) randomly oriented graphene subjected to internal pressure and thermal gradient loads. The heat transfer and mechanical analyses of randomly oriented graphene-reinforced nanocomposite (GRNC) cylinders are facilitated by developing a weak form mesh-free method based on moving least squares (MLS) shape functions. Furthermore, in order to estimate the material properties of GRNC with temperature dependent components, a modified Halpin-Tsai model incorporated with two efficiency parameters is utilized. It is assumed that the distributions of graphene nano-sheets are uniform and FG along the radial direction of nanocomposite cylinders. By comparing with the exact result, the accuracy of the developed method is verified. Also, the convergence of the method is successfully confirmed. Then we investigated the effects of graphene distribution and volume fraction as well as thermo-mechanical boundary conditions on the temperature distribution, static response and natural frequency of the considered FG-GRNC thick cylinders. The results disclosed that graphene distribution has significant effects on the temperature and hoop stress distributions of FG-GRNC cylinders. However, the volume fraction of graphene has stronger effect on the natural frequencies of the considered thick cylinders than its distribution.

Interlocked armor layers of unbonded flexible risers may crush when risers are being launched. In order to predict the behavior of interlocked armor layers, they are usually simplified as rings with geometric and contact nonlinearity ignored in the open-literature. However, the equivalent thickness of the interlocked armor layer has not been addressed yet. In the present paper, a geometric coefficient ${\gamma}$ is introduced to the equivalent stiffness method, and a linear relationship between ${\gamma}$ and geometric parameters of interlocked armor layers is validated by analytical and finite element models. Radial stiffness and equivalent thickness of interlocked armor layers are compared with experiments and different equivalent methods, which show that the present method has a higher accuracy. Furthermore, hoop stress distribution of interlocked armor layer under crushing is predicted, which indicates the interlocked armor layer can be divided into two compression and two expansion zones by four symmetrically distributed singular points.

In seismic design, hollow section concrete columns offer advantages by reducing the weight and seismic mass compared to concrete section RC bridge columns. However, the flexure-shear behavior and spirals strain of hollow section concrete columns are not well-understood. Octagonal RC bridge columns of a small-scale model were tested under cyclic lateral load with constant axial load. The volumetric ratio of the transverse spiral hoop of all specimens is 0.00206. The test results showed that the structural performance of the hollow specimen, such as the initial crack pattern, initial stiffness, and diagonal crack pattern, was comparable to that of the solid specimen. However, the lateral strength and ultimate displacement of the hollow specimen noticeably decreased after the drift ratio of 3%. The columns showed flexure-shear failure at the final stage. Analytical and experimental investigations are presented in this study to understand a correlation confinement steel ratio with neutral axis and a correlation between the strain of spirals and the shear resistance capacity of steel in hollow and solid section concrete columns. Furthermore, shear strength components (V_c, V_s·, V_p) and concrete stress were investigated.

The need for carbon neutrality in the world strives the construction industry to reduce the use of construction materials. Aiming to this, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) could be used as it reduces the carbon dioxide emissions. Currently, RAC is mainly used in non-structural members of civil constructions, seldom used in structural members. To broaden its structural use, a new type of composite column, i.e., the square and rectangular RAC filled FRP tubes (CFFTs), has been concerned in this study. The investigation on their axial compressive behavior through physical test and numerical analysis demonstrated that the load-carrying capacity of such column is reduced with the increase of replacement ratio of recycled aggregate and aspect ratio of section but can be improved by the increase of FRP confining stiffness and corner radius, said capacity can be equivalent to their steel reinforced concrete counterparts. At failure, the hoop strain at corner of tube is unexpectedly smaller than that at flat side of the tube although the FRP tube ruptured at its corner first, revealing a premature failure. Besides, a design-oriented stress-strain model of concrete and an analysis-oriented finite element model are proposed to predict the load-strain response of square and rectangular CFFT columns, which facilitates the engineering use of RAC in load-carrying structural members.

Spent fuel behavior of dry storage was simulated in a continuous state from steady-state operation by modifying FRAPCON-4.0 to incorporate spent fuel-specific fuel behavior models. Spent fuel behavior of a typical PWR was compared with that of NuScale Power Module (NPM^TM). Current PWR discharge burnup (60 MWd/kgU) gives a sufficient margin to the hoop stress limit of 90 MPa. Most hydrogen precipitation occurs in the first 50 years of dry storage, thereby no extra phenomenological safety factor is identified for extended dry storage up to 100 years. Regulation for spent fuel management can be significantly alleviated for LWR-based SMRs. Hydride embrittlement safety criterion is irrelevant to NuScale spent fuels; they have sufficiently lower plenum pressure and hydrogen contents compared to those of PWRs. Cladding creep out during dry storage reduces the subchannel area with burnup. The most deformed cladding outer diameter after 100 years of dry storage is found to be 9.64 mm for discharge burnup of 70 MWd/kgU. It may deteriorate heat transfer of dry storage by increasing flow resistance and decreasing the view factor of radiative heat transfer. Self-regulated by decreasing rod internal pressure with opening gap, cladding creep out closely reaches the saturated point after ~50 years of dry storage.

LNG저장탱크의 코너프로텍션은 단열재인 formglass와 $9\%$니켈강 라이너로 구성되어 있으며 역할은 내조가 파손되어 LNG가 유출될 때 콘크리트 외벽 코너에 가해지는 열하중에 의한 원주방향 인장응력을 감소시키기 위한 것이다 그러므로 이의 설계하중은 유출된 LNG에 의한 열하중과 액압하중에 의존한다. 본 논문에서는 설계하중조건으로 운전조건, 중대유출조건, 부분유출조건을 제시하였다. 그리고 이러한 설계하중조건들에서 ASME section VIII, div 2. appendix 4에 따른 코너프로텍션의 건전성을 평가하는 절차로서 위치별 응력유형을 구별하고 제시한 설계개념에 적합한 모델을 만들어 유한요소해석을 통하여 규격요건에의 적합성을 검토하는 과정을 소개하였다.

본 논문에서는 접착영역 모델을 이용하여 2상 리튬이온 충전 시 실리콘 음극 전극의 균열진전 해석을 수행하였다. 리튬화 실리콘은 결정질 실리콘에 비해 부피가 약 3배 이상 크므로 리튬이온 충전 시 외각의 리튬화 실리콘에 매우 큰 압축력이 작용하여 압축항복이 발생한다. 리튬이온 충전 시 외각의 리튬화 실리콘은 압축항복 후에 내부의 결정질 실리콘이 리튬화 실리콘으로 상 변이하면서 발생하는 부피 팽창으로 인해 인장력이 작용한다. 이러한 인장력으로 인해 발생하는 균열진전을 접착영역 모델을 이용하여 모사하였다. 사용한 접착영역 모델은 PPR 포텐셜 기반 접착영역 모델로 하나의 포텐셜을 사용하여 복합모드에 대해서도 에너지 소산에 일관성을 지니고 있다. 유한요소 수치해석 모델로 2상 리튬이온 충전 시 모서리 균열진전을 모사한 결과가 실제 실험결과와 일치함을 확인하였고, 균열 팁에서의 최대 인장응력의 각도를 분석하여 실제 실험처럼 균열진전 방향이 회전할 것을 예측할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 열탄성 해석과 복합재/알루미늄 링시편 실험을 통해 성형 온도와 자긴 압력이 복합재와 알루미늄 라이너로 구성된 Type 3 극저온 추진제 탱크에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 우선 Type 3 탱크의 온도분포를 구한 뒤 이를 경계조건으로 사용하여 성형온도와 자긴 압력의 영향을 고려한 탄성해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 복합재의 성형온도가 증가할수록 복합재와 알루미늄 라이너에 각각 잔류압축응력과 잔류인장응력이 증가하였다. 한편 자긴 압력은 극저온 환경에 의해 유발된 잔류열응력의 감소를 초래하였으며 자긴 압력의 크기가 증가할수록 이러한 경향은 두드러졌다. 이러한 성형 온도와 자긴 압력의 영향은 Type 3 극저온 추진제 탱크의 설계 및 제작 단계에 반드시 고려되어야 한다.
