The primary objective of this study was to identify concrete contribution to the initial shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) hollow columns under lateral loading. Seven large-scale RC rectangular hollow column specimens were tested under monotonic or cyclic lateral loads. The most important design parameter was column length-to-depth aspect ratio ranging between 1.5 and 3.0, and the other test variables included web area ratio, hollow section ratio, and loading history. The tests showed that the initial shear strength reduced in a linear pattern as the column aspect ratio increased, and one specimen tested under cyclic loading achieved approximately 83% of the shear strength of the companion specimen under monotonic loading. Also, several pioneering shear models proposed around the world, all of which were mainly based on tests for columns with solid sections, were reviewed and compared with the test results of this study, for their possible applications to columns with hollow sections. After all, an empirical equation was proposed for concrete contribution to the initial shear strength of RC hollow columns based on fundamental mechanics and the test results.

In the present investigation, influence of various material parameters on the cavitation erosion resistance of concrete was investigated on the basis of laboratory experiments. As there is no well-established laboratory test method for evaluating the cavitation resistance of concrete, a test set up called 'cavitation jet' was specially established in the present study in order to simulate the cavitation phenomenon experienced in the hydraulic structures. Various mixtures of concrete were designed by varying the grade of concrete, type and quantity of pozzolana, type of aggregates and cement type to develop good cavitation resistant concrete constructed using marginal aggregates. Three types of aggregates having three different Los Angeles abrasion values (less than 30%, between 30% and 50% and more than 50%) were employed in this study. To evaluate the cavitation resistance a total of 60 cylindrical specimens and 60 companion cubes were tested in the laboratory respectively. The results indicate that cavitation resistance of concrete degrades significantly as the L.A. abrasion value of aggregates goes beyond the 30% value. Incorporation of pozzolanic admixtures was seemed to be beneficial to enhance the cavitation resistance of concrete. Influence of other material parameters on the cavitation resistance of concrete was also noted and important observations have been made in the paper.

이 연구에서는 혹한기 환경에서 매스부재에서 수화열을 고려한 고강도 콘크리트의 실제 압축강도 특성을 평가하였다. 목업 실험체는 가로${\times}$세로${\times}$높이가 $2.0{\times}1.2{\times}1.0m$로 제작하였다. 콘크리트 현장 압축강도 발현 특성은 $5^{\circ}C$에서 기건양생된 원주형 공시체와 수화열의 영향이 반영된 목업 벽체에서 채취된 코어 실험체를 비교하였다. 실험결과, 목업 벽체에서 채취된 코어의 재령 3일까지 압축강도는 실린더 강도에 비해 30% 높았는데, 이는 시멘트계 재료의 수화열에 의한 고온의 양생온도 효과 때문이다. 또한 성숙도 함수에 기반한 예측모델과 실험결과의 비교로부터 매스 부재에서 콘크리트의 현장 압축강도 발현을 합리적으로 평가하기 위해서는 수화열의 양생효과를 고려할 필요가 있음이 제시될 수 있다.

Flexural behavior of thin walled steel-concrete composite sections as cross sections for beams is investigated by conducting an experimental study supported by applicable analytical predictions. The experimental study consists of testing up to failure, simply supported beams of effective span 1440 mm under two point loading. The test specimens consisted of composite box and channel (with lip placed on tension side and compression side) sections, the behavior of which was compared with companion empty sections. To understand the role of shear connectors in developing the composite action, some of the composite sections were provided with novel simple bar type and conventional bolt type shear connectors in the shear zone of beams. Two RCC beams having equivalent ultimate moment carrying capacities as that of composite channel and box sections were also considered in the study. The study showed that the strength to weight ratio of composite beams is much higher than RCC beams and ductility index is also more than RCC and empty beams. The analytical predictions were found to compare fairly well with the experimental results, thereby validating the applicability of rigid plastic theory to cold-formed steel concrete composite beams.

강-콘크리트 계면거동의 성질을 정의하는 계면변수를 파악하고, 구성모델의 성격을 정의하는 구성변수의 물리적 특성 파악과 값의 크기를 결정하기 위해 강-콘크리트 계면에 대한 거동실험을 수행하였다. 구성변수는 포괄적인 적용을 목적으로 부착계면 뿐만 아니라 비부착계면의 거동까지 포함하기 위해 최근에 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴규준에 근거하여 제안된 구성모델을 기준하여 결정하였으며, 구속압을 받는 계면의 취성으로부터 연성까지의 파괴거동 성질을 고려하기 위해 낮은 구속압 및 중간크기의 구속압을 포함하는 네 종류의 구속압을 고려하였다. 실험 결과에 대한 분석을 통해 최대평균전단응력과 잔류응력 및 모드 II 파괴에너지 방출률과 구속압 간의 관계는 각 경우가 선형적 관계에 있음을 확인하였다. 이 논문에서 얻어진 실험 결과에 근거하여 이어지는 후속 논문에서는 해석적 방법에 의한 계면상수 값의 결정과 결정된 계면상수 값을 이용한 계면유한요소해석을 수행하여 계면상수 값의 적절성을 검증하였다.

Purpose: An underlying factor for the failure of several clinical trials of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapies is the lack of an effective method to identify patients who overexpress EGFR protein. The quantitative dot blot method (QDB) was used to measure EGFR protein levels objectively, absolutely, and quantitatively. Its feasibility was evaluated for the prognosis of overall survival (OS) of patients with gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: Slices of 2×5 ㎛ from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded gastric cancer specimens were used to extract total tissue lysates for QDB measurement. Absolutely quantitated EGFR protein levels were used for the Kaplan-Meier OS analysis. Results: EGFR protein levels ranged from 0 to 772.6 pmol/g (n=246) for all gastric cancer patients. A poor correlation was observed between quantitated EGFR levels and immunohistochemistry scores with ρ=0.024 and P=0.717 in Spearman's correlation analysis. EGFR was identified as an independent negative prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer patients only through absolute quantitation, with a hazard ratio of 1.92 (95% confidence interval, 1.05-3.53; P=0.034) in multivariate Cox regression OS analysis. A cutoff of 208 pmol/g was proposed to stratify patients with a 3-year survival probability of 44% for patients with EGFR levels above the cutoff versus 68% for those below the cutoff based on Kaplan-Meier OS analysis (log rank test, P=0.002). Conclusions: A QDB-based assay was developed for gastric cancer specimens to measure EGFR protein levels absolutely, quantitatively, and objectively. This assay should facilitate clinical trials aimed at evaluation of anti-EGFR therapies retrospectively and prospectively for gastric cancer.

원통형 시료의 측면에 일정하게 구속압이 적용되는 통상적인 삼축시험 셀과는 달리, GREAT 셀은 독립적으로 제어되는 8쌍의 측면 가압장치들을 이용하여 차등적으로 구속압을 가할 수 있고, 이를 통해 다양한 크기와 방향의 수평 응력장을 생성시킬 수 있다. 본 연구의 선행 논문에서는 다양한 역학적 재하 조건에서 GREAT 셀 시험을 수치해석적으로 모사하고, 원주변형률에 대한 수치해석 및 실험측정 결과를 비교하여 적용된 수치모델의 적정성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 역학적 재하 조건과 유체흐름 조건을 함께 고려하여 균열이 포함된 인공시료에 대한 GREAT 셀 시험을 수치모사하였다. 값이 알려지지 않은 균열면의 역학적 물성을 다양하게 설정하여 시료의 거동(원주변형률)에 대한 수치해석과 실험 결과를 비교하였으며, 균열면의 특정 역학적 조건에서 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 검토되었다. 추가적으로 유체흐름 조건이 시료의 역학적 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

This is the fifth in a series of companion papers dealing with the dynamic hardening properties of various marine structural steels at intermediate strain rates. Five steps of strain rate levels (0.001, 1, 10, 100, 200/s) and three steps of temperature levels (LT ($-40^{\circ}C$), RT, and HT ($200^{\circ}C$)) were taken into account for the dynamic tensile tests of three types of marine structural steels: API 2W50 and Classifications EH36 and DH36. The total number of specimens was 180 pieces. It was seen that the effects of dynamic hardening became clearer at LT than at RT. Dynamic strain aging accompanying serrated flow stress curves was also observed from high temperature tests for all kinds of steels. The dynamic hardening factors (DHFs) at the two temperature levels of LT and RT were derived at the three plastic strain levels of 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 from dynamic tensile tests. Meanwhile, no DHFs were found for the high temperature tests because a slight negative strain rate dependency due to dynamic strain aging had occurred. A new formulation to determine material constant D in a Cowper-Symonds constitutive equation is provided as a function of the plastic strain rate, as well as the plastic strain level. The proposed formula is verified by comparing with test flow stress curves, not only at intermediate strain rate ranges but also at high strain rate ranges.
