Effects of incident beam position and intensity on self-pumped optical phase conjugation are presented using barium titanate as an optical phase conjugator. Depending on the position of incident beam, the crystal used consists of four major operating regions: irregular pulsing, regular pulsing, stable phase conjugation, and unstable oscillating regions. In the second region, the pulsing frequency and amplitude of phase conjugate beam are proportional to I$_{in}$ and I$_{in}^{0.85}$, respectively, where I$_{in}$ is the incident beam intensity. In the fouth region, the rising time and intensity of the first-generated pulse are proportional to I$_{in}^{0.92}$ and I$_{in}^{0.81}$, respectively. A frequency shift by beam fanning is also discussed by observing interference pattern from an interferometer.

Recently, the externally prestressed unbonded steel I-beam bridges have been increasingly built. The mechanical behavior of prestressed steel I-beams which are with external unbonded tendon is different from that of normal bonded PSC beams in a point of that the slip of tendons at deviators and the change of tendon eccentricity occurs, when external loads are applied in external unbonded steel I-beams. The concept of prestressing steel structures has not been widely considered, in spite of long and successful history of prestressing concrete members. In this study, The field experiment on prestressed steel I-beams has been performed in the various aspects of prestressed I-beam including the tend on type and profile.

For construction of I-beam steel structures, a fillet welding is one of the main manufacturing process. However, this welding process cause some problems associated with welding residual stress and welding deformation that are harmful to the safety of structures. Accordingly, this study clarified the creation mechanism of the welding deformation on I-beam steel structure from the experimental results given by the FEM method. To prevent or minimize the longitudinal bending deformation, first of all, a field supervision is necessary to observe the optimal groove design. Secondly, the welding order for cooling weld zone is needed.

Thispaper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the fire performances ofsimply supported iTECH composite beams using an ISO834 standard fire. There are very few independent studies on the fire resistance of composite steel and concrete structures of various designs. The iTECH composite beam system has been used in construction, but nothing is known about its influence in a fire. To evaluate the fire resistance performanceof the iTECH beam, a test was conducted for 4.7m-span-length iTECH beams under given conditions in a laboratory. The fire resistance performance of unprotected coatings of the iTECH beam has been examined, and a longer period of fire resistance was achieved by increasing the beam coating's section size and decreasing its load ratio. Coatings for the fire protection of iTECH beams reduce the rate of temperature rise of the beam in case of fire, and the required thickness of spray-on fire protection coatings can be determined by means of tests.

Before studying graft polymerization of PP(polypropylene) nonwoven fabrics by electron beam preirradiation method, mechanical properties, thermal properties and degree of crystallinity of original and electron beam irradiated PP nonwoven fabrics were investigated. Morphological surface changes of electron beam irradiated PP nonwoven fabrics were not observed. And the melting temperature and crystallinity of electron beam irradiated PP nonwoven fabrics also did not change as compared with untreated PP nonwoven fabrics. But the breaking strength of electron beam irradiated PP nonwoven fabrics decreased with increasing electron beam absorbed dose due to breakdown of some parts of polymer main chain.

The results of a numerical investigation pertaining to the hysteretic behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) column to I-beam connections are discussed in detail. Following the verification of the numerical results against the available experimental tests, the nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis was implemented to evaluate the effects of different parameters including the column axial load, beam lateral support, shape and arrangement of stiffeners, stiffness of T-stiffeners, and the number of shear stiffeners. Pursuing this objective, an external CFT column to beam connection, tested previously, was selected as the case-study. The lateral forces on the structure were simulated, albeit approximately, using an incremental cyclic loading reversal applied at the beam tip. The results were compared in terms of hysteretic load-displacement curves, stress distributions in connection, strength, rotation, and energy dissipation capacity. It was shown that external T-stiffeners combined with internal shear stiffeners play an important role in the hysteretic performance of CFT columns to I-beam connections.

Recently, there have been increased much concerns about repair and rehabilitation works for aged concrete structures. In particular, it is known that due to repeated overburden vehicle there are significantly increasing number of aged concrete bridge slabs, which are strongly needed to construct and rehabilitate by innovative construction method. The objective of this research is to develop the new construction method of concrete slab in bridge structure, which can contribute to minimize the traffic congestion during the repair and rehabilitation works of aged concrete slab, and can also sufficiently assure the quality through the minimization of in-situ works at the site. I-beams with punch holes, which are substituted instead of main reinforcing steels in concrete slabs, will be manufactured in accordance with the specification in the factory. and will be preassembled into the Panel. After erecting the preassembled panels in the site, concrete will be poured into the slab panel. This research is to investigate physical properties of I-Beam with punch holes itself through static and fatigue test with rational numerical analysis Finally this research is to suggest reformed I-beam through the numerical analysis.

I-section prestressed concrete(I-PC) beam crack due to low tensile strength, may decrease rigidity and structural performance by excessive deflection. In an effort to this problem, in this research, I-section prestressed dual concrete(I-PDC) beam has been proposed, consisting of normal strength concrete in compression zone, and high performance steel fiber reinforced concrete(HPSFRC) with a bottom flange depth in tensile zone. Crack formation and its propagation are controlled by the HPSFRC in I-PDC beam. The initial cracking and service limit loads are increased along with the load carrying capacity and flexural stiffness.

In this study, 7 dof (Including warping) beam element was developed to estimate the effects of wagner effects and load height effects on the lateral buckling strength of mono-symmetric I beam. Finite element buckling analysis of mono-symmetric I-shaped girders subjected to transverse loading applied at different heights on the cross-section were conducted. Linear moment gradient were considered, too. In these cases, girders are subjected to both single-curvature and Reverse-curvature bending. An applicability of current LRFD C$\sub$b/ on the mono-symmetric I beam was studied from the finite element results. The problems of current LRFD C$\sub$b/ occurring from load height effects and reverse curvature bending in unbraced length when applied on the mono-symmetric I beam were studied. Solutions to these problems are also presented.

This paper features about the modeling and design of a fast output sampling feedback controller for a smart Timoshenko beam system for a SISO case by considering the first 3 vibratory modes. The beam structure is modeled in state space form using FEM technique and the Timoshenko beam theory by dividing the beam into 4 finite elements and placing the piezoelectric sensor/actuator at one location as a collocated pair, i.e., as surface mounted sensor/actuator, say, at FE position 2. State space models are developed for various aspect ratios by considering the shear effects and the axial displacements. The effects of changing the aspect ratio on the master structure is observed and the performance of the designed FOS controller on the beam system is evaluated for vibration control.
