Local school buildings are critical facilities that can provide shelter in disasters such as earthquakes, so they must be more resistant to seismic forces than other structures. In this study, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine which columns-as the most critical members in a reinforced concrete building-most urgently require seismic retrofitting. The sensitivity analysis was conducted using an optimization technique with the location of each column as a parameter. A numerical model was developed to simulate a realistic collapse mode through a three-dimensional dynamic analysis. Based on numerical analysis results, it was found that the columns positioned in the lower floors, such as the first floor and in the outer part of a building, urgently require retrofitting. For reinforcement of the RC columns, which has been proven for its performance in previous research, was applied. Through this study, the importance of appropriate retrofitting is demonstrated. Further, a method for determining the appropriate location for retrofitting-when retrofitting is not possible on the entire structure-is presented.

Precast Concrete (PC) construction method can be the one that is suitable for long-life housing due to its merit in respect of maintenance and durability based on crack-free from mass production with indirect construction cost-saving-effect due to shortening construction period comparing to the conventional construction method, but it has the problem that causes the raise of direction construction costs. So, this study analyzed its economic feasibility of PC method whose maintenance and durability are excellent for underground parking lot of apartment house for accomplishing cost-saving long-life housing by applying the various structural system. In evaluation of unit module structural system, two-way PC system requires 10 to 28% more costs for frame work than RC rigid frames, and, one-way PC system 98~112%. Although it varies depending on the method, the costs are similar to RC rigid frame structure, provided a proper method is adopted. Also, Model 11, which was most economical in the evaluation, was applied to an real parking lot and about 2 to 6% of construction costs was reduced than RC rigid frames. This seems to be because, although PC system has a higher production cost, introduction of P.S (prestress) reduces member depth and, therefore, height, as well as the number of members per unit module.

RC (Reinforced Concrete) members are always subjected to loading conditions and have construction joints when constructed on a big scale. Service life for RC structure exposed to chloride attack is usually estimated through chloride diffusion test in sound concrete, however the test is performed without consideration of effect of loading and joint. In the present work, chloride diffusion coefficient is measured in concrete cured for 1 year. In order to evaluate the effect of applied load, cold joint, and mineral admixtures, OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) and 40%-replaced GGBFS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) concrete are prepared. The diffusion test is performed under loading conditions for concrete containing cold joint. Investigating the previous test results for 91 days-cured condition and the present work, changing diffusion coefficients with applied stress are normalized considering material type and cold joint. For evaluation of service life in RC continuous beam with 2 spans, non-linear analytical model is adopted, and service life in each location is evaluated considering the effects of applied stress, cold joint, and GGBFS. From the work, varying service life is simulated under various loading conditions, and the reduced results due to cold joint and tensile zone are quantitatively evaluated. The effect of various conditions on diffusion can provide more quantitative evaluation of chloride behavior and the related service life.

The backbone structure of ginsenosides, active ingredients of Panax ginseng, is similar with that of sterol, especially cholesterol. Caenorhabditis elegans (c. elegans) is one of free living nematodes and is well-established animal model for biochemical and genetic studies. C. elegans cannot synthesize de novo cholesterol, although cholesterol is essential requirement for its growth and development. In the present study, we investigated the effects of Korean red ginseng total extract (KRGE), ginseng total saponins (GTS) on life span of C. elegans in cholesterol-deprived and -fed medium. Cholesterol deprivation caused damages on life span of worms throughout F1 to F3 generations. KRGE or GTS supplement to cholesterol-deprived medium restored the life span of worms as much as cholesterol alone-fed medium. In study to identify which ginsenosides are responsible for life span restoring effects of KRGE, we found that ginsenoside Rc supplement not only restored life span of worms grown in cholesterol-deprived medium but also prolonged life span of worms grown in cholesterol-fed medium. These results show a possibility that ginsenosides could be utilized by C. elegans as a sterol substitute and further indicate that ginsenoside Rc is the effective component of Korean red ginseng that prolongs the life span of C. elegans.

본 연구에서는 고온 수열 콘크리트의 세공구조 변화를 평가하기 위하여 질소 흡착법을 이용한 분석을 실시하였다. 아울러 역학적 특성 및 염화물 이온 확산계수의 변화도 측정하였으며, 고온 수열 후의 내구성 변화가 RC조의 수명에 미치는 영향을 예측하기 위해 2차원 유한요소 모델을 구축하였다. W/C에 따라 각 시험체의 가열온도가 증가할수록 약 0.01${\mu}m$ 이하의 미세 공극량은 감소하고, 약 $0.01{\mu}m{\sim}0.1{\mu}m$크기의 세공공극은 증가하였다. 역학적 특성은 탈수가 발생하는 $200{\sim}600^{\circ}C$에서는 급격하게 감소하였으며 염화물이온 확산계수는 반대로 급격히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 수치해석을 통하여 가열(화재)에 의하여 콘크리트 속 철근 위치가 발청 한계 농도에 도달하는데 소요되는 시간이 단축되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Chloride is one of the most common threats to reinforced concrete (RC) durability. Alkaline environment of concrete makes a passive layer on the surface of reinforcement bars that prevents the bar from corrosion. However, when the chloride concentration amount at the reinforcement bar reaches a certain level, deterioration of the passive protection layer occurs, causing corrosion and ultimately reducing the structure's safety and durability. Therefore, understanding the chloride diffusion and its prediction are important to evaluate the safety and durability of RC structure. In this study, the chloride diffusion coefficient is predicted by machine learning techniques. Various machine learning techniques such as multiple linear regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, artificial neural networks, extreme gradient boosting annd k-nearest neighbor were used and accuracy of there models were compared. In order to evaluate the accuracy, root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of determination (R2) were used as prediction performance indices. The k-fold cross-validation procedure was used to estimate the performance of machine learning models when making predictions on data not used during training. Grid search was applied to hyperparameter optimization. It has been shown from numerical simulation that ensemble learning methods such as random forest and extreme gradient boosting successfully predicted the chloride diffusion coefficient and artificial neural networks also provided accurate result.

본 연구는 변형경화형 시멘트 복합체(strain hardening cement composite, SHCC)가 고강도 철근이 배근된 보의 휨 거동에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 SHCC가 철근콘크리트 휨 부재의 균열완화성능 및 연성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 실험결과를 토대로 하여 이론적인 휨 강도 예측 방법을 제안하였다. 실험을 위하여 시멘트 복합체의 종류 및 강도, 철근의 항복강도를 변수로하여 총 6개의 실험체를 제작하였다. 가력을 위해 단순 보 실험체를 500 kN용량의 유압 엑추에이터를 사용하여 변위제어 방식으로 4점 가력 하였다. 실험결과 SHCC를 사용한 경우 일반 고강도 철근콘크리트 보에 비하여 균열완화성능 및 연성이 증가하는 양상을 나타내었다. 특히 고강도 철근을 배근한 경우 휨 내력에 큰 차이를 나타내었으며, 이는 SHCC 대체가 800 MPa급 이상의 고강도 철근을 휨 철근으로 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주는 것으로 판단된다. 예측된 휨 거동 산정 기법을 제한된 실험의 휨 내력을 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났으며, 향후 SHCC의 인장강도 모델분석을 통해 보다 명확한 제안을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the depth of carbonation considering the relative humidity in concrete using the FEM model. The difference of relative humidity in concrete has not been considered in calculating the carbonation depth in analytic model. That reason can make the over estimation in expectation of RC structure durability. The temperature and R.H. expectation model and the carbonation depth expectation model are development in past author's studies. The two models are coupled in this study. The fact that there is the difference between actual environment and acceleration test is revealed from FEM numerical analysis.
