Bond between reinforcing bar and surrounding concrete is supposed to transfer load safely in the process of design of reinforced concrete structures. Bond strength of ribbed reinforcing bars tends to split concrete cover, by wedging action, or shear the concrete in front of the ribs. In this study, using a reducing bearing angle theory, bond strengths of beam end specimen are predicted. Values of bond strength obtained using the analytical model are in good agreement with the bond test results. The analytical model provides insight into bond mechanism and the effects of bearing angle on the bond strength of deformed bars to concrete.

This paper presents the application of multi-gene genetic programming (MGP) technique for modeling the bond strength of ribbed steel bars in concrete. In this regard, the experimental data of 264 splice beam tests from different technical papers were used for training, validating and testing the model. Seven basic parameters affecting on the bond strength of steel bars were selected as input parameters. These parameters are diameter, relative rib area and yield strength of steel bar, minimum concrete cover to bar diameter ratio, splice length to bar diameter ratio, concrete compressive strength and transverse reinforcement index. The results show that the proposed MGP model can be alternative approach for predicting the bond strength of ribbed steel bars in concrete. Moreover, the performance of the developed model was compared with the building codes' empirical equations for a complete comparison. The study concludes that the proposed MGP model predicts the bond strength of ribbed steel bars better than the existing building codes' equations. Using the proposed MGP model and building codes' equations, a parametric study was also conducted to investigate the trend of the input variables on the bond strength of ribbed steel bars in concrete.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify suitable polynomial regression for modeling the average growth trajectory and to estimate the relative development of the rib eye area, scrotal circumference, and morphometric measurements of Guzerat young bulls. Methods: A total of 45 recently weaned males, aged 325.8±28.0 days and weighing 219.9±38.05 kg, were evaluated. The animals were kept on Brachiaria brizantha pastures, received multiple supplementations, and were managed under uniform conditions for 294 days, with evaluations conducted every 56 days. The average growth trajectory was adjusted using ordinary polynomials, Legendre polynomials, and quadratic B-splines. The coefficient of determination, mean absolute deviation, mean square error, the value of the restricted likelihood function, Akaike information criteria, and consistent Akaike information criteria were applied to assess the quality of the fits. For the study of allometric growth, the power model was applied. Results: Ordinary polynomial and Legendre polynomial models of the fifth order provided the best fits. B-splines yielded the best fits in comparing models with the same number of parameters. Based on the restricted likelihood function, Akaike's information criterion, and consistent Akaike's information criterion, the B-splines model with six intervals described the growth trajectory of evaluated animals more smoothly and consistently. In the study of allometric growth, the evaluated traits exhibited negative heterogeneity (b<1) relative to the animals' weight (p<0.01), indicating the precocity of Guzerat cattle for weight gain on pasture. Conclusion: Complementary studies of growth trajectory and allometry can help identify when an animal's weight changes and thus assist in decision-making regarding management practices, nutritional requirements, and genetic selection strategies to optimize growth and animal performance.

Climate temperature affects animal production. This study was conducted to evaluate whether climatic conditions affect beef carcass characteristics of Korean cattle steers. The monthly carcass characteristics of Korean cattle steers (n = 2,182,415) for 8 yr (2006 through 2013) were collected from the Korean Institute for Animal Products Quality Evaluation. Daily climate temperature (CT) and relative humidity (RH) data were collected from the Korean Meteorological Administration. Weather conditions in South Korea during summer were hot and humid, with a maximum temperature of $28.4^{\circ}C$ and a maximum RH of 91.4%. The temperature-humidity index (THI), calculated based on CT and RH, ranges from 73 to 80 during summer. Winter in South Korea was cold, with a minimum temperature of $-4.0^{\circ}C$ and a wind-chill temperature of $-6.2^{\circ}C$. Both marbling score (MS) and quality grade (QG) of Korean cattle steer carcasses were generally best (p<0.05) in autumn and worst in spring. A correlation analysis showed that MS and QG frequencies were not associated (p>0.05) with CT. Yield grade (YG) of Korean cattle steer carcasses was lowest (p<0.05) in winter (November to January) and highest in spring and summer (May to September). A correlation analysis revealed that YG frequency was strongly correlated ($r{\geq}0.71$; p<0.01) with CT and THI values. The rib eye area, a positive YG parameter, was not associated with CT. Backfat thickness (BT), a negative YG factor, was highest in winter (November and December). The BT was strongly negatively correlated ($r{\leq}-0.74$; p<0.01) with CTs. Therefore, the poor YG during winter is likely due in part to the high BT. In conclusion, YG in Korean cattle steer carcasses was worst in winter. QGs were not associated with winter or summer climatic conditions.

최근 고강도철근 및 프리스트레싱에 의한 유용성은 경제적이고 효과적으로 콘크리트 구조설계를 가능하게 되었다. 이러한 구조적 부재를 다루는 구조기술자가 직면하는 중요한 문제중 하나는 한계상태설계에서 사용성에 대한 기준으로 사용되는 균열폭의 제어이다. 특히 휨균열은 하중을 부담하는 부재에 대해서 안전성의 확보 및 사용성과 연성을 향상될 수 있도록 제어되어야 한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법은 Ikki에 의해서 수행된 양측인장시험법의 시험 결과를 이용하고 있다. 양측인장상태에서 이형철근에 대한 부착특성은 콘크리트면적과 리브면적에 의해서 고려된다. 제안된 방법에 의한 결과는 시험 결과와 비교되며, 기존 방법보다도 치수 및 단면제원의 변화, 철근의 방향을 고려하여 보다 정밀한 부착응력과 이에 대한 상대슬립의 관계를 제시한다. 부착특성은 무차원적 슬립량과 유효철근비에 의해서 고려된다. 제안식의 유효성은 시험체 실험자료에 의해서 검증되어진다.

금산지역 두 다른 토양내 식물체의 중금속 함량은 식물체의 종류에 관계없이 함 탄질 지역이 높은 원소 함량을 보이고 있었으며 원소별 상관관계에서 함 탄질 지역이 화강암 지역에 비해 두드러지게 높았다. 지역에 관계없이 대부분 원소에서 쑥이 억세 및 아카시아에 비해, 억세는 아카시아에 비해 상대적으로 높은 원소 함량을 보여 쑥이 대부분 원소에서 상대적으로 높은 흡수량을 보임을 지적하고 있다. 또한 대부분 원소에서 식물체의 상부에 비해 하부가 비교적 높은 원소 함량을 보이고 있다. 이런 관계들을 종합해 볼 때 금산의 셰일 지역과 유사한 토양의 정화 시 쑥 및 억세가 좋은 중금속의 축적 종으로서 이용 가능성이 있으며 억세에 비해 쑥이 선호될 수 있는 종임을 암시한다.
