  • Stress/strain dependencies of the critical current I$_{c}$ in AgMgNi sheathed multifilamentary Bi(2212) superconducting tapes were evaluated at 77K. The external reinforcement was accomplished by soldering Ag-Mg tapes to single side or both sides of the sample. With the external reinforcement, the strength of tapes increased but I$_{c}$ decreased. The I$_{c}$ degradation characteristic according to the external reinforcement was improved markedly in terms of the stress although it appeared less remarkable on the basis of the strain. Effects of external reinforcement were discussed in a viewpoint of monitoring sensitivity of cracking in superconducting filaments by considering n-value representing the transport behavior of the current, which is closely associated with the location of them relative to the voltage-monitoring region in the tape. tape.

  • The PCS system, which consists of precast concrete column and steel beam, has been under development. Experimental test has been carried out to investigate the structural performance of the system under earthquake. Two types of test specimens of beam-column joints are designed in order to compare the performances. One is the system with reinforced concrete slab and the other is without slab. It is found that the system with slab could satisfy all of the requirements from ACI Criteria such as strength, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity except initial stiffness. It is also investigated that the stiffness of the joint is belong to rigid joint type according to Bjorhovde criterion. And it is observed that the partial-composite system between beam and slab is more effective than full-composite system in the respect of the energy dissipation capacity of the system.

  • An experimental investigation on the behavior of reinforced concrete coupling beams is presented. The test variables are the span-to-depth ratio, the ratio of flexural reinforcement and the ratio of shear rebar. The distribution of arch action and truss action which compose the mechanism of shear resistance is discussed. This study proposes the deformation model for reinforced concrete coupling beams considering the bond slip of flexural reinforcement. The yielding of flexural reinforcements determines yielding states and the ultimate states of reinforced concrete coupling beam are defined as the ultimate compressive strain of struts and the degradation of compressive strength due to principal tensile strain of struts. It is expected that this model can be applied to displacement-based design methods.

  • In this study, effects of pore structure of ground granulated blast-furnace slag concrete on freezing-thawing resistance are reviewed. As a result, degradation of freezing-thawing resistance performance was occurred as replacement ratio of ground granulated blast-furnace slag increases under same specified concrete strength condition. It is considered that pore structure of internal binder affects freezing-thawing resistance performance.

  • Numerical studies were carried out to develop the moment magnifier method for long-term behavior of flat plates, subjected to combined in-plane compressive and transverse loads. Nonlinear finite element analyses were performed for the numerical studies. Through the numerical studies, the long term behavior of the flat plate subjected to uniform or nonuniform floor load was investigated, and creep effects on the degradation of strength and stiffness of the slabs were examined. As the result, the creep factor was developed to epitomizes with creep effect on the flat plate. The moment magnifier method using the creep factor was developed for long-term behavior of flat plates. Also, the design examples are shown for verification of proposed design method.

  • In order to use HTS tape on electric power applications, such as cable, motor, transformer, fault current limiter, a long length of HTS tape with a good uniformity of critical current is inevitable. The longer length of HTS tape, the wider in the range of application and the lower cost of HTS tape. In this study three long length Bi-2223/Ag tapes(268m, 253m and 187m) were fabricated. Critical current uniformity along the length was greatly improved through the optimization of cold deformation and thermo-mechanical process. Average critical current of the tapes was 63.2 A, 54.6 A and 64.2 A, respectively Critical tensile strength and critical bending radius (77 K, 5 % Ic degradation) was 135 MPa and 56 m, respectively.

  • Electrical and mechanical properties of Pb(Mg, Te, Mn, Nb)O3-PZT ceramics are investigated as a function of CeO2 addition (0 to 0.3wt%), and the output characteristics of piezoelectric transformer are also presented. The grain size decreased and the shapes of particles were more uniform with the addition of CeO2. The coercive electric field(9500V/cm), mechanical quality factor (2500) and bend strength (1065kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) were improved by addition of CeO2 0.2wt%. After repetition of a number of stress cycles, the degradation of k33 was not found in this sample. The voltage step-up ratio (Vdc/Vrms) of piezoelectric ceramic transformer (half wavevoltage doubler, load resistor 100M.ohm) was about 950 in a linear region, its value was relatively higher than other materials.

  • Vacuum hot pressing has been used for the development of Ti-MMCs using foil-fiber-foil method, and subsequent micro-mechanical characteristics of the composites are evaluated by means of several experimental processes. As shown by the results, fiber strength degradation occurs during the consolidation, and particularly residual stresses results from the thermal expansion mismatch between fiber and matrix materials during cooling process are incorporated in the changes of mechanical properties of the composites. In industrial applications, the processing conditions avoiding micro-material failures are important together with the properties of finished products, and therefore should be included in the assesment of the material characterization.

  • An experimental research program on end-plate beam-to-column composite joints under cyclic loading is presented. The major focus relates to the identification of the contribution of the concrete confinement in composite columns to the behaviour of the joint, on internal nodes and external nodes, together with an assessment of degradation of strength and stiffness in successive loading cycles. From the experimental results it was possible to identify the various failure modes and to fit the corresponding hysteretic curves to the Richard-Abbott and Mazzolani models. These curve-fitting exercises highlighted the need to adapt both models, either for improved ease of application, or to deal with some aspects previously not covered by those models.
