The square tubed-reinforced concrete (TRC) column is a kind of special concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns, in which the outer thin-walled steel tube does not pass through the beam-column joint, so that the longitudinal steel reinforcing bars in the RC beam are continuous through the connection zone. However, there is a possible decrease of the axial bearing capacity at the TRC column to RC beam connection due to the discontinuity of the column tube, which is a concern to engineers. 24 connections and 7 square TRC columns were tested under axial compression. The primary parameters considered in the tests are: (1) connection location (corner, exterior and interior); (2) dimensions of RC beam cross section; (3) RC beam type (with or without horizontal haunches); (4) tube type (with or without stiffening ribs). The test results show that all specimens have relatively high load-carrying capacity and satisfactory ductility. With a proper design, the connections exhibit higher axial resistance and better ductility performance than the TRC column. The feasibility of this type of connections is verified.

In order to increase the extrusion production speed of aluminum, extrusion die cooling technology using liquid nitrogen has recently attracted a lot of attention. Increasing the extrusion speed increases the temperature of the bearing area of extrusion dies and the extrusion profile, which may cause defects on the surface of extruded profile. Extrusion die cooling technology is to directly inject liquid nitrogen through a cooling channel formed between the die and the backer inside the die-set. The liquid nitrogen removes heat from the die-set, and gaseous nitrogen at the exit of the channel, covers the extrusion profile of an inert atmosphere reducing the oxidation and the profile temperature. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cooling capacity by applying die cooling to extrusion of Al-Mn-based aluminum alloy flat tubes, and to investigate the effects of die cooling on the change in extrusion characteristics of flat tubes. Cooling capacity was confirmed by observing the temperature change of the extrusion profile depending on whether or not die cooling is applied. To observe changes in material characteristics due to die cooling, surface observation is conducted and microstructure and precipitate analysis are performed by FE-SEM on the surface and longitudinal cross section of the extruded flat tubes.

선체는 기본적으로 얇은 판부재들의 조합으로 구성되어 있으며 이들 중 상당수는 유공을 가진 유공판(Perforated plate)으로 이루어져있다. 선체에 설치된 유공판으로서는 선체 상갑판 해치(하역시설로 사용), 선저부의 거더와 플로어(중량경감과 선박 건조 및 검사시 통로확보용), 다이어프램(중량경감 및 파이프 관통의 목적)등이 있다. 이들 유공판에 압축하중이 작용하면 좌굴과 최종강도 특성이 크게 변화할 뿐만 아니라 수반되는 면내응력도 재 분포하게 되어 심각한 문제를 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 실선에서 사용 중인 유공보강판의 모델을 조사하여 비선형 유한요소법(ANSYS)을 사용하여 종방향 압축하중이 작용하는 경우에 대해서 유공비, 웹 치수, 웹 두께 그리고 보강재 단면을 변화시켜가며, 최종강도 시리즈 해석을 수행하고, 최종강도 예측 설계식을 제안하였으며, 식의 정도성을 검증하기 위하여 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하여 정도를 확인하였다. 제안된 설계식은 초기구조설계 시 유공보강판의 최종강도 계산에 유용하게 사용되리라 판단된다.
