Pitting corrosion commonly shaped in hull structure due to marine corrosive environment seriously causes the deterioration of structural performance. This paper deals with the ultimate strength behaviors of stiffened ship panels damaged by the pits subjected to uniaxial compression. A series of no-linear finite element analyses are carried out for three stiffened panels using ABAQUS software. Influences of the investigated typical parameters of pit degree (DOP), depth, location and distribution on the ultimate strength strength are discussed in detail. It is found that the ultimate strength is significantly reduced with increasing the DOP and pit depth and severely affected by the distribution. In addition, the pits including their distributions on the web have a slight effect on the ultimate strength. Compared with regular distribution, random one on the panel result in a change of collapse mode. Finally, an empirical formula as a function of corrosion volume loss is proposed for predicting the ultimate strength of stiffened panel.

Effects of blasting vibrations on curing concrete have not been well studied. As a result, unreasonable and strong blasting vibration constraints have been placed on blasting when it occur in the vicinity of curing concrete. To study the effects of blasting on curing concrete blocks of $33.3{\times}27.7{\times}16.2cm$ were molded and placed on the quarry. Several sets of concrete blocks were subjected separately to peak vibrations of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0 and 10cm/sec. The impulses of blasting vibrations were applied with thirty-minute intervals. Along with unvibrated concrete blocks, the vibrated concrete samples cored with 60.3mm in diameter were measured for elastic moduli, sonic velocity and uniaxial compressive strength. Test results can be summarized as follows; 1. The blasting vibrations between 6 and 8 hours after pour generally lowered on the uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete. 2. A low blasting vibration of 0.25cm/sec did not affect the uniaxial compressive strength. As the magnitude of the blasting vibration increases, compressive strength of concrete is decreased. 3. Physical properties of the P-wave velocity, Young’s modulus, and Poisson's ratio showed a weakly decreasing trend in the concrete blocks vibrated between 6 and 8 hours after pour.

Effects of blasting vibrations on curing concrete have not been well studied. As a result, unrealistic and costly blasting vibration constraints have been placed on blasting when it occurs in the vicinity of curing concrete. To study the effects of blasting, concrete blocks of $30\times20\times20cm$ were molded and placed on the quarry Different sets of concrete blocks were subjected to peak vibrations of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10cm/sec. The impulses of blasting vibrations were applied at thirty minutes intervals . Along with unvibrated concrete blocks, the vibrated concrete samples with 60.3mm in diameters were measured for elastic moduli, sonic velocity and uniaxial compressive strength. Test results can be summarized as follows : 1) The blasting vibrations between 6 and 8 hours after pour generally have exerted bad influences on the uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete 2) Under low vibration of 0.25cm/sec variations of the uniaxial compressive strength were not shown. As the magnitudes of blasting vibration increased, compressive strength of concrete decreased. But under the vibrations between 5 and 10cm/sec decreases in strength were almost same. 3) Physical properties of the p-wave velocity, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio appeared to decrease for the concrete blocks subjected to vibration for 6 to 8 hours.

In order to investigate the influence factors to compressive and tensile strength of basalt in Cheju Island, rock samples of Pyosenri basalt, trachy-basalt and scoria were taken from Seoguipo-Si Seongsan-Eup area, and a series of uniaxial compressive strength test and Brazilian test were carried out. Especially, these tests were performed in consideration of the loading speed, the moisture content in rock sample, and the anisotropy of rock strength. The uniaxial compressive strength was increased gradually as the loading speed rose. The increasing quantity of uniaxial compressive strength had a difference in each rock types. Also, the strength was decreased with increasing the moisture contents in rock sample by pore water. As the result of test considering the anisotropy of rock strength, the compressive strength in condition of failure occurred parallel to stratified layer is decreased about 12-26% more than that in condition of failure occurred inclined to stratified layer.

An objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the strength and ductility of reinforced concrete columns under uniaxial load and several test variables. To do this, we have conducted tests on twelve 20$\times$20$\times$60cm specimens with 8 and 12 longitudinal steel bars subjected to monotonic uniaxial compression. The main variables considered in this test are the configuration of ties, the strength of concrete, The results indicate that the strength and the ductility of reinforced concrete columns have been influenced on the configuration of ties, the strength of concrete.

In this research, bending shear test of HPFRCC beams is conducted to obtain the shear strength of HPFRCC beams. Parameters are ratio of volume percentage of fibers. Also, the uniaxial tensile test of HPFRCC is conducted to obtain the tensile cracking stress of each parameters. From the uniaxial tensile test result, the shear strength of HPFRCC beams can be calculated by using the preexisting shear analysis model. Then, the shear strengths of bending shear test result and analysis result are compared.

In this research, the behavior characteristics of cement mixing lightweight soil (CMLS) for recycling of dredged soil in the Nakdong River estuary are experimentally investigated. CMLS is composed of the dredged soil from Nakdong River estuary, cement, and air foam. For this purpose, uniaxial compression tests are carried out for artificially prepared specimens of CMLS, with various initial water contents, cement contents, and mixing ratio of dredged soils. The experimental results of CMLS indicated that the compressive strength is strongly influenced by the cement contents, rather than water contents and air foam. Compressive strength of CMLS increased with an increase in cement content, while it decreased with an increase in water content and air foam content. It was also found that the modulus of deformation E50 was in a range of 44 to 128 times greater than the value of uniaxial compressive strength, cured in 28 days.

The physical and mechanical properties of the sedimentary rocks deposited in Taegu and Kyongbuk region have been measured in the laboratory and at the field. Four kinds of rocks such as the shale, the mudstone, the siltstone and the sandstone were the object of this study. In sedimentary rock joint, bedding made it impossible to extract cores for uniaxial compressive test. Some correlations between the uniaxial compressive strength and the other characteristic values such as Point load index, Schmidt hammer rebound, Brazilian strength, P-wave velocity and Absorption ratio are made. The chemical and mineral compositions are also investigated by the XRF and XRD analysis. In addition, the weathering grade of rocks are classified by the quantitative indices of Point load index, Schmidt hammer rebound and Absorption ratio.

The small punch creep (SPC) test has recently received much attention as a new alternative to the conventional uniaxial creep test because it needs only a miniature-sized specimen directly detached from an operating system or component without any serious sampling damages. However, it is difficult to obtain the equivalent uniaxial creep data directly from the SPC data. As a specimen is deformed by a punch in the SPC test, the test result is sensitive to the friction between them. Finite element analyses with various friction coefficients was performed and showed a tendency of increased SPC life with an increased friction coefficient. The necking position predicted by the SPC simulation with a proper friction coefficient showed good agreement with that observed from the real SPC test. Finally, a noble method to convert the SPC load and displacement rate into the equivalent uniaxial creep stress and strain rate, respectively, was established in this study.
