The change of creep deformation mechanism due to the persistent change of stress conditions requires the constitutive relation for the analysis of long tenn behaviors considering age dependent material properties of concrete. In the present research, the process of time dependent behaviors in structure is divided into two stages; the non-mechanical deforming level which causes creep and shrinkage deformations, and the mechanical deforming level which causes mechanical deformations by the restraints of non-mechanical deformations due to internal or external factors. The incremental constitutive relation is derived by expanding the total stress-strain relation on the present time, with respect to the reference time using the Taylor series, and the modulus of elasticity in early ages of concrete was defined thru this process.

In the recent construction industry, an external strengthening method using fiber reinforced polymers has been widely used. Since reinforced concrete structures strengthened with fiber reinforced polymers are always under sustained loads, influence of creep and shrinkage on the structures is inevitable. Due to the creep and shrinkage, behaviors of the structures, such as deflection, deformation, recovery capability, strength and so on are also under the influence of creep and shrinkage. Thus, in order to estimate efficacy, creep recovery and residual strength of FRP strengthened RC beams, long-term flexural experiments and static flexural experiments were carried out. As the result of the experiments, FRP strengthened RC beams were very effective in terms of deflection control. Furthermore, the strengthened beams had higher immediate deformation recovery than immediate deformation. Through the static flexural experiments, it was shown that the CFRP strengthened beam had high residual strength. It seems that the sustained loads did not affect bond and residual strength of the beams.

To calculate the long-term allowable strength of geosynthetic reinforcement, replacement method was recommended. The isochronous creep curve by S. Turner was used to define the relation between creep strain and allowable strength. In isochronous curve at given time, one can read the allowable strength at allowable creep strain. The allowable strain gets from specification by directors or manufacturers according to the allowable displacement of reinforced structures. The allowable strength can be determined in relation to the allowable horizontal displacement each structures case by case. The effect of install damage on isochronous behaviors of geosynthetic reinforcement was little. In previous study, install damage increase the creep strain slightly. And the degradation was not identified. But it is supposed that degradation increase the creep strain. In conclusion, The recommended model to determine long-term allowable strength of geosynthetic reinforcements considering tensile deformation of reinforcement and soil is fit for proper, correct and economic design for reinforced earth walls.

Time-dependent deformation process of concrete was incrementally formulated to take account of the persistent change of creep-inducing stress as well as shrinkage and development of elastic modulus. Three types of experiments were performed including a set of experiments to derive three basic time-dependent equations regarding to shrinkage, creep and development of elastic modulus of concrete, cylindrical concrete specimen with axial reinforcements subjected to a sustained axial load, and RC beam subjected to uniformly distributed load as well as self-weight.

Creep behaviors of the solder balls in a flip chip package assembly during thermal cycling test is investigated.. A material models used in the finite element analysis are viscoplastic model introduced by Anand and creep model called partitioned model. Experiment of two temperature cycles using moir$\acute{e}$ interferometry is conducted to verify the reliability of material models for the analysis of thermo-mechanical behavior. Bending deformations of the assemblies and average strains of the solder balls due to temperature change and dwell time are investigated. The results show that time-dependent shear strain of solder by the partitioned model is in excellent agreement with those by moir$\acute{e}$ interferometry, while there is considerable difference between results by Anand model and experiment. In this paper, the partitioned model is employed for the time-dependent creep analysis of the FC-PBGA package. It is also shown that the thermo-mechanical stress becomes relaxed by creep behavior at high temperature during temperature cycles.

Many countries are interested in the development of the Antarctic area because of the abundant resources and living things of high research value. Korea completed the second Antarctic research station in 2014 and spurring the development of the Antarctic area by constructing runway for the airplanes and a third Antarctic research station. However, frozen soils, unlike typical soils, are sensitive to creep behavior due to the influence of ice and unfrozen water. The creep tests for evaluating creep behaviors on the frozen soils require expensive laboratory equipments and large amount of time. Thus, various empirical models had been developed to describe the unconfined compressive creep behavior of frozen soils. In this study, new analytical creep model on frozen sands was proposed by modifying Ting's Tertiary creep model with a new parameter considering fine contents. Thus, the unconfined compressive creep tests were conducted with the frozen specimens of dense Jumoonjin sand with fine contents of 0, 5, 10 and 15% under various loads at -$5^{\circ}C$, -$10^{\circ}C$ and -$15^{\circ}C$. Consequently, the modified Tertiary creep model with a new parameter for fine contents are not enough for the description of the acutal creep behavior of the frozen sand and new framework should be developed.

It was found from the previous experimental studies that the long-term deformation of SRC columns was quite different from that of RC columns. A new approach method is needed to quantitatively predict the long-term deformation of SRC columns. In this study, the causes of the difference between the behaviors of RC and SRC columns are investigated and discussed. SRC columns exhibit a time-dependent relative humidity distribution in a cross section differently from that of RC columns due to the presence of a flange, which interferes with the moisture diffusion of concrete. This different relative humidity distribution may reduce the drying shrinkage and the drying creep in comparison with RC columns.

Steel reinforced concrete(SRC) columns, which have been widely employed in high-rise buildings, exhibit a time-dependent behavior because of creep and shrinkage of concrete. This long-term behavior may cause a serious serviceability problem in structural systems, so it is very important to predict the deformation due to creep and shrinkage of concrete. However, it was found from the previous experimental studies that the long-term deformation of SRC columns was quite dissimilar from that of RC columns. A new method is required to quantitatively predict the long-term deformation of SRC columns. In this study, the causes of the discrepancy between the behaviors of RC and SRC columns are investigated and discussed. SRC columns exhibit a time-dependent relative humidity distribution in a cross section differently from that of reinforced concrete(RC) columns owing to the presence of a inner steel plate, which interferes with the moisture diffusion of concrete. This relative humidity distribution may reduce the drying shrinkage and the drying creep in comparison with RC columns. Therefore it is suggested that the differential moisture distribution should be taken into account in order to reasonably predict column shortening of SRC columns.

When we construct the earth structures such as embankments, on soft ground which are consisted of thick marine silty clay, the foundations deform due to consolidation and creep. For the stabilization of the earth structures constructed on soft foundations, we usually uses the mattress and they play an important role in increasing an ultimate bearing capacity by the dispersion of load of embankment. The purpose of this paper was to predict rationally a long term deformation of earth structures and to contribute to embankment design and maintenance. We determined a rheological model of marine clay from experimental data, and developed a computer program using the chosen model and found out the long term behavior of embankment. The results of this paper are as follows: 1. The developed program can analyze simultaneously consolidation and creep. 2. From the results of creep test, the rheological model of marine silty clay can be represented by the Vyalov model. 3. The displacement of embankment on reinforced foundation were smaller than those of the unreinforced foundation in showing the effects of geotextiles on foundation deformations.

In order to improve the wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, plasma carburization treatment was newly carried out without consumption of its good specific strength and fatigue life over the temperature. Effect of the plasma carburization was analyzed and compared with the non-treated alloy by microstructural observation, structure characterization and mechanical test. The plasma treated alloy formed a carburized layer of about $150{\mu}m$ in depth from the surface, where a fine and hard particles of TiC and $V_4C_3$ were homogeneously dispersed through the layer. The steady-static creep behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, using the constant stress creep tester, were investigated over the temperature range of $510{\sim}550^{\circ}C$(0.42~0.44Tm) and the stress range of 200~275 MPa. Stress exponent(n) was decreased from 9.32 of non-treatment specimen to 8.95 of carburized, however, the activation energy(Q) increased from 238 to 250 kJ/mol with the same condition as indicated above. From the above results, it can be concluded that the static creep deformation for Ti-6Al-4V alloy was controlled by the dislocation climb over the ranges of the experimental conditions.
