Pounding damage to bridges and buildings is observed in most major earthquakes. The damage mainly occurs in reinforced concrete slabs, e.g. building floors and bridge decks. This study presents the results from pounding of reinforced concrete slabs. A parametric investigation was conducted involving the mass of the pendulums, the relative velocities of impact and the geometry of the contact surface. The effect of these parameters on the coefficient of restitution and peak impact acceleration is shown. In contrast to predictions from numerical force models, it was observed that peak acceleration is independent of mass. The coefficient of restitution is affected by the impact velocity, total participating mass and the mass ratio of striker and struck block.

The present work studies a nondestructive evaluation of the degradation of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel using a magnetic method based on the existence of the peaks of reversible permeability (RP) in the differential magnetization around the coercive force. The apparatus is based on detection of the voltage induced in a coil using a lock-in amplifier tuned to the frequency of the AC perturbing field. Results obtained for the reversible permeability and Vickers hardness on the aged samples showed the peak interval of reversible permeability (PIRP) and Vickers hardness decrease as aging time increased. The correlation between Vickes hardness and the PIRP could be used to evaluate degradation of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel.

In recent years, there is an increasing interest to optimize the fuzzy logic controller with different methods. This paper focuses on the optimization of a fuzzy logic controller applied to a seismically excited nonlinear building. In most cases, this problem is formulated based on the linear behavior of the structure, however in this paper, four sets of objective functions are considered with respect to the nonlinear responses of the structure as the peak interstory drift ratio, the peak level acceleration, the ductility factor and the maximum control force. The Improved Charged System Search is used to optimize the membership functions and the rule base of the fuzzy controller. The obtained results of the optimized and the non-optimized fuzzy controllers are compared to the uncontrolled responses of the structure. Also, the performance of the utilized method is compared with various classical and advanced optimization algorithms.

The paper describes the conceptual design, structural modelling and wind load analysis of tall buildings. The lateral stiffness of the building can be obtained economically through the interaction of core walls with peripheral frame tube and/or bundle of frame tubes and integrated design of the basement. The main structural components should be properly distributed such that the building will deflect mainly in the direction of the applied force without inducing significant response in other directions and twist. The cost effectiveness can be further enhanced through close consultation between architects and engineers at an early stage of conceptual design. Simplified structural modelling of the building and its response in three principal directions due to wind load are included. Effects of the two main structural components on the performances of a 70-story reinforced concrete building in terms of peak drift and maximum acceleration under wind load are discussed.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fatigue induction on ground reaction force (GRF) components, postural stability, and vertical jump performance in Taekwondo athletes. Method: Ten Taekwondo athletes (5 men, 5 women; mean age, $22.30{\pm}2.62years$; mean height, $174.21{\pm}9.20cm$; mean body weight, $67.28{\pm}12.56kg$) participated in this study. Fatigue was induced by a short period of strenuous exercise performed on a motorized treadmill. The analyzed variables included vertical jump performance, static stability (mediolateral [ML], center of pressure [COP], anteroposterior [AP] COP, ${\Delta}COPx$, ${\Delta}COPy$, and COP area), postural stability index values (ML stability index [MLSI], AP stability index [APSI], vertical stability index [VSI], dynamic postural stability index [DPSI]), and GRF components (ML force, AP force, peak vertical force [PVF], and loading rate). To analyze the variables measured in this study, PASW version 22.0 was used to calculate the mean and standard deviation, while a paired t-test was used to evaluate the pre- versus post-fatigue results. Pearson's correlation coefficients among variables were also analyzed. The statistical significance level was set at ${\alpha}$ = .05. Results: Vertical jump performance decreased significantly after the induction of fatigue, while AP COP, ${\Delta}COPx$, COP area, APSI, VSI, and DPSI increased significantly. PVF and loading rate increased significantly after the induction of fatigue, while the postural stability variables (AP COP, ${\Delta}COPy$, COP area, APSI, VSI, DPSI) were similarly correlated with GRF components (PVF, loading rate) after fatigue was achieved (r = .600, $R^2$ = 37%). Conclusion: These results suggest that the induction of fatigue can decrease postural stability and exercise performance of Taekwondo athletes during training and competition sessions.

A Hybrid Fault Current Limiter(FCL) which has more advantages in fast response and thermal characteristics than a simple resistive FCL had been proposed by our group. The Hybrid FCL consists of a resistive FCL for the magnitude of the first peak of fault current, and a fast switch for detecting fault current and generating the repulsive force within a cycle in fault situation. In ideal case, the impedance of the fast switch wound with two other kinds of HTS tape is negligibly zero in normal operation. But, during the fault situation, each HTS tape has different quench characteristics because of asymmetric current distribution. And this phenomenon causes effective flux and this flux opens the switch through the repulsive force applied to a metal plate of the fast switch. The magnitude of the repulsive force affects the switching characteristics of the fast switch. It should be large enough to raise the metal plate up. Otherwise the arc re-out break which are caused by not enough repulsive force to raise the metal plate up can cause unintended operation of the fast switch. In this paper, the numerical calculation of the repulsive force applied to the metal plate of the fast switch in various combinations of HTS tapes was performed by using the short-circuit test and finite element method.

무의 염장과정 중 소금의 침투량, 담금액의 pH와 산도 및 조직감의 변화와 이와 관련된 화학적 변화, 효소활성 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 3%와 10% 소금용액에서 생무와 열처리한 무를 담구어 4일간 저장하였을 때, 무 조직 내의 소금농도는 2일까지는 빠르게 증가하였으며 침투속도는 10% 소금용액에서 더욱 컸으며 열처리구에서 더 높았다. 2. 무의 염장과정 중 담금액의 pH는 낮아지고 산도는 증가하여 염장 10일째에 pH는 3.45, 산도는 0.52%를 나타내었다. 3. 힘-거리곡선의 형태는 생무의 경우, 파열점(a)과 최대 압착변형점(c)이 일치하거나 a 이후에 더 큰 c가 나타나서 positive slope을 갖는 곡선이 주종을 이루나, 염장한 무는 a와 c가 일치하면서 특징적인 하나의 peak만을 나타내거나 혹은 a 이후에 최대변형력이 작아지면서 negative slope의 곡선이 주로 나타났다. 또한, 염장이 진행됨에 따라 무의 peak 수는 점차 줄어들었다. 압착시험, 침투관통시험 및 절단시험을 통하여 무의 조직감 변화를 측정한 결과, 무의 압착변형력은 염장과정 중 전반적으로 감소하였다. 크기가 다른 탐침을 이용하여 침투관통시험을 행한 결과, 전반적으로 침투관통력은 감소하였으며 탐침의 직경이 클수록 침투관통력은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 절단력은 염장과정 중 증가하였다. 이로부터 염장과정 중 무의 견고성은 감소하였으며 무의 질긴정도(toughness)는 증가하는 것으로 생각된다. 4. AIS로부터 펙틴질을 분획하여 그 함량을 측정한 결과, 염장과정 중 HWSP 함량과 HXSP 함량은 증가하였으며 HClSP 함량은 감소하였다. 5. 염장과정 중 효소 활성의 변화는 발효 4일째까지 증가하다가 감소하였으며 무 염장액에서보다 무 고형분에서의 PG 활성이 크게 나타났다. PE 활성은 염장과정 중 무 고형분과 무 염장액에서 계속 감소하였다. 한편, Cx-cellulase은 염장 초기에는 거의 활성을 나타내지 않았으나 염장 2일째부터 활성이 나타나기 시작하였다.

탄산나트륨, 탄산칼륨과 이들의 혼합염(탄산나트륨/탄산칼륨=0.7-2.0)이 밀가루의 아밀로그래프에 의한 호화성질과 파리노그래프에 의한 반죽성질을 조사하였다. 알칼리제 혼합염(0.16%)이 국수의 성질에 미치는 영향도 아울러 검토하였다. 소금(0.17%)과 알칼리는 아밀로그래프의 호화개시 온도를 감소시켰고 최고점도를 증가시켰으며 그 효과는 탄산나트륨이 가장 현저하였다. 최고점도는 알칼리의 농도가 증가할수록 증가하였고 동일한 농도에서는 혼합비율에 따른 차이는 없었다. 파리노그래프의 흡수율은 소금에 의하여 감소되었고 알칼리제에는 영향을 받지 않았으나 소금과 알칼리제가 동시에 존재할 때는 소금의 효과가 감소하였다. 소금과 알칼리제는 반죽의 안정도를 크게 증가시켰으며 소금의 효과가 더욱 뚜렸하였다. 그러나 소금의 존재시 알칼리제 단독 또는 혼합 사용하였을 때는 농도에 관계없이 알밀로그람과 파리노그람 특성값은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 알칼리제 혼합염의 첨가에 따라 건면의 황색도와 파쇄력이 증가하였고 파쇄력은 혼합비율 1.0에서 가장 큰 값을 보였다. 삶은 국수의 경우 무게와 부피증가 정도는 알칼리제 혼합염의 첨가에 따라 큰 변화가 없었으나 전단력과 압착력은 혼합비율 1.0에서 가장 높은 값을 보였다.

An analytical model of liquid sloshing is developed to consider the energy-loss effect through a partially submerged porous baffle in a horizontally oscillating rectangular tank. The nonlinear boundary condition at the porous baffle is derived to accurately capture both the added inertia effects and the energy-loss effects from an equivalent non-linear drag law. Using the eigenfunction expansion method, the horizontal hydrodynamic force (added mass, damping coefficient) on both the wall and baffle induced by the fluid motion is assessed for various combinations of porosity, submergence depth, and the tank's motion amplitude. It is found that a negative value for the added mass and a sharp peak in the damping curve occur near the resonant frequencies. In particular, the hydrodynamic force and free surface amplitude can be largely reduced by installing the proper porous baffle in a tank. The optimal porosity of a porous baffle is near P=0.1.
