본 연구에서는 철도교량에 교량받침으로 사용될 수 있는 4종류의 고무패드의 사용상의 특성을 분석하고, 강성과 감쇠비를 결정하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 고무패드의 강성을 결정하기 위해서는 정적 실험을 통한 직접적인 방법과 동적 실험을 통한 간접적인 방법이 가능하다. 본 연구에서 두 가지 방법에 의해서 고무패드의 강성을 평가하고 비교하였다. 고무패드의 감쇠비는 동적 실험에 의해서만 파악이 가능하며 폴리우레탄 고무의 경우 천연고무나 크로로프렌 고무와 유사한 감쇠비를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 폴리우레탄 고무는 천연고무나 크로로프렌 고무에 비해 경도가 크기 때문에 작은 면적으로도 큰 하중을 견딜 수 있으며, 또한 같은 형상계수를 가지는 패드에서도 더 큰 강성을 보여 철도교의 교좌로서 활용성이 더 큰 것으로 판단되었다. 천연고무나 크로로프렌 고무 패드는 수직하중에 의한 수평 변형이 크게 발생하는데 비해, 폴리우레탄 고무패드는 수직하중에 의한 수평방향의 변형이 거의 발생하지 않기 때문에 보강재에 의한 보강이 필요하지 않다.

현재 국내에는 공유수면 매립을 통하여 부지를 확보하는 대규모 매립공사들이 해안지역을 중심으로 진행되고 있다. 그러나 매립지역이 대규모화 되어짐에 따라 준설토만으로 그 물량을 확보하는데는 많은 어려움이 있어 대량물량을 대체할 수 있는 경제적인 매립토의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이 연구는 폐석회를 해안 성토매립재의 일부로 사용하였을 경우, 지반의 지지력과 침하특성을 알아보기 위하여 실내실험과 현장실험을 실시하였으며, 그 결과를 이론적으로 산정한 지지력과 비교하였다. 또한 침하해석 프로그램을 이용하여 각 층별 침하량과 폐석회충의 매립심도비 [폐석회층/(준설토+폐석회층)]에 따른 총 침하량을 예측하였다. 현장실험결과와 이론적으로 산정한 지지력을 비교하여 보면 대체로 실험결과에 따른 극한 지지력값이 1.25~1.37배 크게 나타났다. 침하해석 프로그램을 통한 층별 침하량과 총 침하량은 폐석회층의 매립심도비 0.2이상일 때 급격한 증가를 관찰할 수 있었다. 상기의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 폐석회층의 매립심도비가 0.2이하에서 극한지지력, 지반반력계수, 침하량의 변화율이 미소하여 폐석회를 대체 매립재로 사용할 경우 폐석회층의 최적 매립심도비 [폐석회층/(준설토+폐석회층)]는 0.2임을 알 수 있다.

최근, 철골구조, 철골 철근콘크리트 구조 및 합성구조의 주각부는 국부적으로 제한된 부분에 큰 집중하중이 작용하고, 이 하중은 베이스 플레이트를 통하여 철근콘크리트 기초에 전달하게 된다. 따라서 철골구조 및 철골 철근콘크리트 구조의 설계에서 큰 축력을 받는 주각부의 지압강도를 정확히 평가하기가 매우 어렵다. 철골주각부는 역학적 특성이 다른 재료의 접합부로 설계 및 시공상 제약을 받게 되고, 응력전달도 매우 복잡하다. 특히, 구조설계시 지압강도의 적절한 평가는 무엇보다 중요하다. 지압강도에 영향을 미치는 요소는 지압응력을 받는 부재의 형태 및 재료, 하중의 작용형태, 지압면에서의 마찰구속력, 철근보강, 건조수축 등 매우 많다. 지압강도에 대한 대부분의 실험 및 연구에서는 중심축력을 받는 주각부에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 그러나, 실제 철골주각부 설계에서는 일축편심 또는 이축편심축력을 받는 경우가 많이 있다. 본 연구에서는 베이스플레이트에 작용하는 편심축력과 편심거리에 따른 지압강도의 변화 및 실험체의 파괴형태에 대하여 검토하였고, 편심축력 작용시 지압강도 산정방법을 제시하였다.

It is generally known that high strength soil is indicative of well-graded particle size distribution. However, there are some special cases of firm ground despite poor grade distribution, especially a specific gap-graded soil. Based on these discoveries, this study investigated the development of an additive of gap-graded soils designed to increase soil strength. This theoretical concept was used to calculate the mixed ratio required for optimal soil strength of the ground sample. The gap-graded aggregate was added according to Plato's polyhedral theory and subsequently calculated ratio and soil strength characteristics were then compared to characteristics of the original soil sample through various test results. In addition, the underground stress transfer rate was measured according to the test conditions. The test results showed that the ground settlement and stress limit thickness were reduced with the incorporation of gap-graded soil. Further field tests would confirm the reproducibility and reliability of the technology by using gap-graded soil to reinforce soft ground of a new construction site. Gap-graded soil has the potential to reduce the construction cost and time of construction compared to other reinforcing methods.

The infill walls, whose contribution to the earthquake resistance of a structure is generally ignored due to their limited lateral rigidities, constitute a part of the lateral load bearing system of an RC frame structure. A common method for improving the earthquake behavior of RC frame structures is increasing the contribution of the infill walls to the overall lateral rigidity by strengthening them through different techniques. The present study investigates the influence of externally bonded perforated steel plates on the load capacities, rigidities, and ductilities of hollow brick infill walls. For this purpose, a reference (unstrengthened) and twelve strengthened specimens were subjected to monotonic diagonal compression. The experiments indicated that the spacing of the bolts, connecting the plates to the wall, have a more profound effect on the behavior of a brick wall compared to the thickness of the strengthening plates. Furthermore, an increase in the plate thickness was shown to result in a considerable improvement in the behavior of the wall only if the plates are connected to the wall with closely-spaced bolts. This strengthening technique was found to increase the energy absorption capacities of the walls between 4 and 14 times the capacity of the reference wall. The strengthened walls reached ultimate loads 30-160% greater than the reference wall and all strengthened walls remained intact till the end of the test.

In order to design a swash plate type pump for electro-hydrostatic actuators the performance of the hydrostatic piston shoe bearings in the low speed range needs to be examined, since the pump operates frequently at low speeds, compensating for position control errors as a control element. As a common practice, piston shoes are equipped with inner rings as an auxiliary element to enhance their tribological performance. In this paper, the effects of the inner rings of the piston shoes on the frictional loss and leakage flow rate were investigated, where three piston shoe models, with different inner ring shapes and different inlet orifice sizes, were integrated. The test results showed that a large inner ring and small inlet orifice were advantageous for reducing both the frictional loss and leakage flow rate; this could also be confirmed by computational analyses.

Composite bonding steel plate (CBSP) is a newly developed type of structure strengthened technique applicable to the existing RC beam. This composite structure is applicable to strengthening the existing beam bearing high load. The strengthened beam consists of two layers of epoxy bonding prestressed steel plates and the RC beam sandwiched in between. The bonding enclosed and prestressed U-shaped steel jackets are applied at the beam sides. This technique is adopted in case of structures with high longitudinal reinforcing bar ratio and impracticable unloading. The prestress can be generated on the strengthening steel plates and jackets by using the CBSP technique before loading. The test results of full-scale CBSP strengthened beams show that the strength and stiffness are enhanced without reduction of their ductility. It is demonstrated that the strain hysteresis effect can be effectively overcome after prestressing on the steel plates by using such technique. The applied plates and jackets can jointly behave together with the existing beam under the action of epoxy bonding and the mechanical anchorage of the steel jackets. The simplified formulas are proposed to calculate the prestress and the ultimate capacities of strengthened beams. The accuracy of formulas was verified with the experimental results.

This paper addresses the development of a scroll expander for power generation from relatively low temperature steam source. It has a double-sided orbiting scroll member so that no thrust bearing is needed to support the base plate of the orbiting scroll. Three power transmission shafts are placed at the periphery of the orbiting scroll base plate, and these shafts can also function as anti-rotation devices. Final output is obtained from the main central shaft engaged with the three power transmission shafts through gear assembly. The clearance between the fixed and orbiting scroll elements was estimated by comparing measurement of the mass flow rate with calculation results of a computer simulation. Due to large clearance, the expander total and volumetric efficiencies were measured to be $34\%\;and\;43\%$, respectively. It has been shown through the computer simulation that the total and volumetric efficiencies could be improved to $65\%\;and\;83\%$, respectively, if the current clearance is reduced by half.

Profiled composite slab has been widely used in civil engineering due to its structural merits. The extension of this concept to the bearing wall forms the profiled composite wall, which consists of two external profiled steel plates and infill concrete. This paper investigates the structural behavior of this type of wall under axial compression. A series of compression tests on profiled composite walls consisting of varied types of profiled steel plate and edge confinement have been carried out. The test results are evaluated in terms of failure modes, load-axial displacement curves, strength index, ductility ratio, and load-strain response. It is found that the type of profiled steel plate has influence on the axial capacity and strength index, while edge confinement affects the failure mode and ductility. The test data are compared with the predictions by modern codes such as AISC 360, BS EN 1994-1-1, and CECS 159. It shows that BS EN 1994-1-1 and CECS 159 significantly overestimate the actual compressive capacity of profiled composite walls, while AISC 360 offers reasonable predictions. A method is then proposed, which takes into account the local buckling of profiled steel plates and the reduction in the concrete resistance due to profiling. The predictions show good correlation with the test results.
