It is necessary to generalize the use for structural ALA Concrete in our country, as increasing in the need for the development of ALA and the use of ALA Concrete which is related with the diminution of the self load and foundation section of structure responding to the realistic requirement against the decrease of natural aggregate and the high-rising and large-sizing of structures. This little study, therefore intended to help in the mixing design of concrete by considering the fundamental properties of ALA Concrete used with expanded clay, which is considered by acopting the experimental factors such as unit cement content, water cement ratio and the rate of fine aggregate. By considering the results of this experiment, it has difficulty in getting expected slump with the unit water content of normal concrete because of the large absorption of lightweight aggregate, and because the weight of unit volume and specific gravity ALA Concrete are small it appears that the strength and Elastic Modulus of that are small too and that it is more ductile than normal concrete.

Various characters of the concrete are greatly improved as the effect of the steel fiber. As the improvement effect of the steel fiber, the increment in flexural strength, shear strength, toughness, and impact strength are remarkable, and tenacious concrete is obtained. This paper presents model which can predict mechanical behavior of the structure according to aspect ratio and volume fraction of steel fiber. Experiments on compressive strength, elastic modulus and tensile strength were performed with self-made cylindrical specimens of variable aspect ratios. This paper presents an analytical study on the behavior of a beam specimen with steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC). The effect of the SFRC on the crack pattern, failure mode and the flexural behavior of the structure were investigated. The analysis model based on the nonlinear layered finite element method was successfully able to find the necessary amount of steel fibers, tensile steels and beam section which can best approximate flexural strength and ductility of a given conventionally reinforced concrete beam.

The nondimensional differential equations governing the buckling loads of tapered columns and its houndarv conditions are derived, in which the effects of shear deformations are included. These equations are solved numerically using a numerical integration technique and a bracketing method to obtain the buckling loads of columns. Four types of cross-sectional shape with clamped-free end constraint are used in the numerical examples. The parametric studies of shear deformation effects on the buckling loads such as cross-sectional shape factor, shear coefficient, ratio of modulus of elasticity, slenderness ratio and section ratio are reported in tables and figures.

Normally, the degradation of concrete member exposed to fire is largely dependent on the fire scale and fire condition. With all ensuring the fire resistance structure as a method of setting the required cover thickness to fire, the RC is significantly affected from the standpoint of its structural stability that the compressive strength and elastic modulus is reduced by fire. Thus, this study is concerned with experimentally investigating fire resistance of high strength-light weight concrete. From the test result, high strength-light weight concrete is happened explosive spalling. The decrease of cross section caused by explosive spalling made sharp increasing gradient of inner temperature.

Normally, with all ensuring the fire resistance structure as a method of setting the required cover thickness to fire, the RC is significantly affected from the standpoint of its structural stability that the compressive strength and elastic modulus is reduced by fire. Especially, high strength concrete and lightweight aggregate concrete is occurred serious fire performance deterioration by explosive spalling. Thus, this study is concerned with explosive spalling of lightweight concrete using structural lightweight aggregate. From the experimental test result, lightweight aggregate concrete is happened explosive spalling. The decrease of cross section caused by explosive spalling made sharp increasing gradient of inner temperature.

As high-rise buildings with 100 or more stories are being constructed, it is inevitable to use high-performance materials including high-performance concrete. What is most important in high-performance concrete is extremely high strength in order to reduce the section of members in high-rise buildings. During the last several years, there have been active researches on Ultra-high-strength concrete. While these researches have been mostly focused on strength development, however, other accompanying physical properties have not been studied sufficiently. Thus, this study purposed to obtain and analyze data on the physical-mechanical properties of Ultra-high-strength concrete through experiments and to use the results as basic information on required performance of concrete used in high-rise buildings.

This research is a new design method, which will be presented as a basic concept for a more efficient minimum weight design of grillages, as an attempt to describe true collapse mechanism in as overall search as possible. It serves as introduction to the numerical technique of Linear Programming(LP) and Automatic Modified Direct Plastic Frame Analysis(AMDPFA). Attention is directed to both analysis and design, and emphasis is placed on the physical significance of Systematic Searching Techniques(SST) involved. In weight minimum grillages design, the parameterisation study in optimum beam configuration which was carried out over the range of beam sections for a given plastic section modulus likely to occur in structures by suing an adaptive stochastic optimisation technique, Genetic Algorithms.

This study area located in HoNam High-Speed railway soft ground section. So it carried out the boring survey, field survey and test of laboratory. It collected the engineering data of ground and the data for the establishment arrangement. The investigation did a soil investigation in Nonsan. The investigation item excuted seismic piezocone penetration test, s-wave seismic refraction survey, ps logging test, density logging test which is a physical exploration and boring. Eventually, results of geotechnical and shear-wave survey are useful for ground information in soft ground that has identified the characteristics of geological responses and elastic modulus.

Cement stabilisation is a common method for stabilising recycled road base material and provides a longer pavement life. With cement effect, the increment of stiffness in the stabilised layer would provide better load transfer to the pavement foundation. The recycling method provides an environmentally option as the existing road base materials will not be removed. This paper presents a case study of a trial section along the North-South Expressway in West Malaysia, where the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) was implemented to evaluate the compressive strength and in-situ stiffness of the cement stabilised road base material. The improvement in stiffness of the cement stabilised base layer was monitored, and samples were tested during the trial. FWD was found to be useful for the structural assessment of the cement-stabilised base layer prior to placement of asphalt layers. Results from the FWD were applied to verify the assumed design parameters for the pavement. Using the FWD, an empirical correlation between the deflection and the stiffness modulus of the pavement foundation is proposed.

In the Department of Naval Architecture, Seoul National University, the development of computer programs for the computer-aided ship design sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology has been begun. The project is to be accomplished as a four-year plan, and the results of the works of the first year, preliminary design of dry-cargo ships based on an optimization technique and some fundamental calculations accompanied with the basic design of ships such as calculations of displacement, hydrostatic characteristics of hull forms, stability, floodable length, load line and longitudinal section modulus, are given in the Report R-72-9[9] published by the sopnsor for the public interests. In this paper, the philosophy and methodological principles with which the preliminary design program given in Appendix II was developed are summerized.
