A bridge widening technology using steel-concrete composite system was developed and is presented in this paper. The widened superstructure system consists of a newly built composite steel-concrete girder with concrete deck and steel diaphragms attached to the existing concrete girders. This method has been applied in several bridge widening projects in China, and one of those projects is presented in detail. Due to the higher stiffness-to-weight ratio and the rapid erection of composite girders, this widening method reveals benefits in both mechanical performance and construction. As only a few methods for the design of bridges with different types of girders are recommended in current design codes, a more accurate analytical method of estimating live load distribution on girder bridges was developed. In the analytical model, the effects of span length, girder pacing, diaphragms, concrete decks were considered, as well as the torsional and flexural stiffness of both composite box girders and concrete T girders. The study shows that the AASHTO LRFD specification procedures and the analytical models proposed in this paper closely approximate the live load distribution factors determined by finite element analysis. A parametric study was also conducted using the finite element method to evaluate the potential load carrying capacities of the existing concrete girders after widening.

The importance of cost estimate in early stage such has been increasing due to market change and severe competition in construction industry. Because the adjustable budget is only 20% after design stage, most of the crucial decisions to influence cost is made in the early stage. However, in the early stage, the project scope is not defined completely so that estimator has inaccurate information to make critical decision. Therefore, this research suggests the cost estimate method using case-based reasoning. Case-based reasoning is appropriate for the early cost estimating, as it has the strength of rapidity and convenience in cost estimation. This research analyzes 84 actual data of public apartment on the scale of 11~15 stories. In order to extract the most similar case, at the first step this research identifies influence factors and calculates attribute similarity. In case-based reasoning, the most challenging task is determining attribute weight. At the third step, this research calculates case similarity which is aggregated attribute similarity multipled by attribute weight. Finally, extracts the most similar case which has the highest score of case similarity.

원거리의 표적을 탐지하기 위한 IRST시스템에서 표적은 배경영역에 포함된 많은 클러터로 인하여 검출이 매우 어렵다. 특히 해상 환경에서 획득된 영상의 경우, 불균일한 해수면 온도 분포는 원거리에서 접근하는 소형 표적의 검출을 어렵게 하는 요인으로 작용한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 형태학적 연산을 기반으로 하는 불균일한 해수면 온도 분포를 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 정확한 해수면 온도 분포 추정을 위하여 상한 분포와 하한 분포로 나누어 추정하고, 추정된 결과의 평균값으로 최종 해수면 온도 분포를 도출한다. 또한 형태학적 연산을 적용함으로써 발생하는 서브샘플링 효과 문제를 해결하기 위하여 다양한 크기의 구조요소를 이용하는 다중 가중치(multi-weight) 기법을 적용한다. 제안 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 다양한 환경에서 획득된 해수면 영상에 대한 해수면 온도 분포 추정 결과를 기존 알고리즘과 비교 검증하였다.

This study aimed to evaluate the nutrient digestibility of growing rabbits fed diets with different levels of either Leucaena leucocephala (LLM) or Moringa oleifera (MOLM) leaf meals and also to compare total collection and $TiO_2$ marker methods for estimating digestibility. A total of 30 California growing rabbits ($1.81{\pm}0.19kg$ live weight on average) were randomly distributed into five experimental groups of six rabbits each and were housed in individual cages. The groups were control, 30% LLM, 40% LLM, 30% MOLM, and 40% MOLM. All groups received pelleted diets for two weeks; diets also contained 4 g/kg titanium dioxide as dietary marker. Daily feed intake was recorded during the whole experimental period and total feces were collected daily and weighed individually during four days. The results showed that there were no difference (p>0.05) in feed, dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), digestible energy, and crude fiber (CF) intake between the control group and the other experimental groups. The apparent digestibility values of DM, OM, CP, CF, acid detergent fiber, and gross energy were the highest for control group (p = 0.001), meanwhile MOLM diets had generally higher nutrient digestibility coefficients than LLM diets. Increasing the inclusion level of leaf meal in the diet from 30% to 40% improved the digestibility of CF from 45.02% to 51.69% for LLM and from 48.11% to 55.89% for MOLM. Similar results for apparent nutrient digestibility coefficients were obtained when either total collection or indigestible marker method was used. In conclusion, the digestibility of MOLM containing diets were better than LLM diets, furthermore $TiO_2$ as an external marker could be used as a simple, practical and reliable method to estimate nutrients digestibility in rabbit diets.

도토리 가루를 알칼리로 침전시키면서 정제하여 도토리 전분을 얻었다. 다시 이 starch를 부탄올 개량법으로 분획하여 도토리 amylose와 amylopectin을 얻었고 Corn starch와 corn amylose, corn amylopectin은 시판되는 시약을 사용하였다. 이 시료들의 분자량 분포도를 관찰하기 위하여 GCP측정을 하였다. GCP측정은 DMSO와 DMF의 용매사용과 표준물질로 pullulan을 사용하여 검정하고 각 시료들의 지연시간으로부터 행하여졌다. 분자량분포도로부터 수평균분자량 (Mn)과 중량평균분자량(Mw) 및 다 분산도를 얻었다. 그 결과 acorn amylose와 corn amylose의 중량평균 분자량이 amylopectin에 비해서 뚜렷이 작게 나타나 ${\alpha}-1,4$ 선형결합을 갖는 amylose와 ${\alpha}-1,4$ 선형결합에 ${\alpha}-1,6$ 결합가지가 있는 amylopectin의 구조상의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 분획한 acorn과 시판되는 corn과의 분자량분포도 측정을 비교한 결과 같은 경향을 나타내어 도토리 전분의 분획이 잘 이루어졌음을 확인하였다. 다분산도는 acorn starch와 corn starch 모두 amylose와 amylopectin에 비해 크게 나타났으며 이는 전분이 분획되기전 두 성분의 불균일성에 의한 성질로 분자량분포 범위가 넓게 나타났음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 전단속도와 온도에 따르는 점도를 관찰하였더니 전단속도가 증가하면 점도는 감소하는 현상을 나타내는 pseudo plastic power law fluid 거동(13)을 보였으며 온도가 증가하면 점도는 지수 함수적으로 감소하였다.

Based on limit equilibrium principles, this study presents a theoretical derivation of a new analytical formulation for estimating magnitude and lateral earth pressure distribution on a retaining wall subjected to seismic loads. The proposed solution accounts for failure wedge inclination, unit weight and friction angle of backfill soil, wall roughness, and horizontal and vertical seismic ground accelerations. The current analysis predicts a nonlinear lateral earth pressure variation along the wall with and without seismic loads. A parametric study is conducted to examine the influence of various parameters on lateral earth pressure distribution. Findings reveal that lateral earth pressure increases with the increase of horizontal ground acceleration while it decreases with the increase of vertical ground acceleration. Compared to classical theory, the position of resultant lateral earth force is located at a higher distance from wall base which in turn has a direct impact on wall stability and economy. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the computations of lateral earth pressure distribution based on the suggested analytical method.

This paper reports on an experimental study of the absorption of COS in a secondary amine diethanolamine. The primary objectives were to investigate an analogy between $N_2$O and COS, thereby allowing an estimation of the physical solubility and diffusivity of the sulfur gases in the reacting amine solutions. The solubilities and diffusivities of $N_2$O and COS in 5~25% aqueous polyethylene glycol at $25^{\circ}C$ were measured. The results appeared to verify the use of an $N_2$O-COS analogy for estimating the solubility and diffusivity of COS in aqueous solutions of alkanolamines up to an approximate 25 weight % concentration. The mean deviation of the $N_2$O analogy relative to the measured solubilities was 3.7%, and the mean deviation between the analogy and the measured diffusion coefficients using the experimental values for Hcos/PEG was 14.6%.

A new method to study water uptake into biodegradable polymer was developed. Polymer was gently mixed with the tritiated buffer and the radioactivity level of the polymer due to water uptake was measured by liquid scintillation counting. The rate of water uptake was estimated from the plot of the amount of water in the device as a function of time. The technique used in this study is particularly useful for estimating water uptake of biodegradable polymers which were difficult to study by other techniques such as weight gain used for hydrogel.
