  • Since Modern bridges have a tendency to make the spans continuous and longer, the effect of concrete shrinkage and creep is very important and must be evaluated appropriately for the durability and safety of steel-concrete composite bridges. However, highway design specification in current use prescribes $180^{1\;2}$ as the final shrinkage strain. which is for less value than one resulted from many experimental researches and cause some problems in the construction of composite bridges due to the understimation of shrinkage strain. Thus, in this paper nonlinear analysis with time-steps applying the CEB-FIP(90) provision have been conducted for plate girder bridge, box girder bridge and Preflex beam bridge and the linear equivalent shrinkage strain for the design of composite bridges. which produces the stress equal to the values from the nonlinear analysis, has been calculated by comparing the results with the values following highway design specification. The results yield appropriately double values than $180^{1\;2}$ which highway design specification prescribes.

  • In this study, among the various types of plant equipment, valves, which are susceptible to water hammer, were selected as the diagnosis target. In order to effectively measure the vibration, an accelerometer was adapted for use in this difficult environment. The results showed that the maximum peak-to-peak vibration displacement caused by the action of water hammer on the valve was 21.40 mm, which would affect the structural stability of the valve and pipe. Meanwhile, the measured data was applied to the HIL simulator to verify the reproduction of the vibration. In the future, field data will be applied to the HIL simulator for the purpose of assessing the fatigue, durability and expected residual life of the plant equipment.

  • The microstructures were examined by SEM, FT-IR spectra, tensible properties mole % of [NCO/OH], and particle size analyzer. Growing concerns in the environment-friendly industries have led to the development of solvent-free formulations that can be cured. We had synthesized the polyurethane resin having the ability to protect stainless steel against corrosion. Compared with general packing materials and coatings, this resin is highly stronger in intensity and longer durability. Polyurethane resins were composed of polyols, IPDI, silicone surfactant, catalyst and crosslink agent. Moreover, thermal fillers such as $Al_2O_3$, fume silica and $ZrO_2$ not only accelerated the curing rate but also improved the physical property as thermal barriers. The rigid segments of polyurethane in mechanical properties were due to crosslink agent and the increase of [NCO/OH]. In conclusion, the polyurethane microstructure with crosslink agent can be good material for themoset coating of metal substrates such as stainless steel.

  • The interest of New Renewable Energy is increasing globally because of the increment of the uncertainty for the energy's supply and demand, and the increment of the frequency in weather anomaly and its damages. One of the New Renewable Energies, Hydrogen receives attention as the future energy that can deal with global environment regulation. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) is an environment-friendly vehicle that uses Hydrogen as fuel. The electric power for FCEV is generated by chemical reaction with Oxygen from the air and Hydrogen. Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) has developed a proprietary fuel cell system since 2005. In 2012, HMC is the first car maker that mass-produces the ix35 FCEV to the worldwide such as North America, Europe, etc. In order to develop and improve the FCEV technology, data acquisition and analysis of the driving vehicle information is essential. Therefore, the monitoring system is developed, which is consist of datalogger, Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) server and main server. Especially, WCDMA technology is integrated into the system which enables the data analysis without any restriction of time and region. The main function of the system is the analysis of the driving pattern and the component durability, and the safety monitoring. As a result, ix35 FCEV has successfully developed by using the developed monitoring system. The system is going to take an advantage of development in the future FCEV technology.

  • Since the deterioration of concrete bridge decks affect durability, safety, and function, structural rehabilitation of damaged concrete deck that was strengthened with Fiber Reinforced Polymer(FRP) is increasing the latest. But recent studies on the strengthened structures are focused on the static behavior, however only a few studies on the fatigue behavior are performed. In this study, static and fatigue behavior of strengthened deck were peformed on 11 deck specimens strengthened with sheet typed Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer(GFRP) that were reinforced by two different strengthening methods for the static test. A amount of strengthening material in the each direction such as transverse and longitudinal was adopted experimental variables for the static test and also the stress level of the static maximum load are adopted for the fatigue test. By the results of the experimental study, with respect to the strengthened decks, the resistance effect of crack propagation and effect of stress distribution are improved. In addition, the rate of variation of compliance decreased.

  • A number of structures constructed during past decades have suffered from safety and serviceability problems due to deterioration and many engineers have been increasingly concerned about durability of concrete. Pipe-cooling method has been popularly used in the massive concrete to reduce temperature of the structure. Until now, usually this pipe-cooling method was applied only in foundation concrete structures, but it is newly tried to apply in the wall structure. We analyzed thermal stress of wall structure with the general structural analysis program that will be able to express the pipe-cooling element. We studied about the effect of reducing temperature and cracking control in the wall structure which can be applied in a pipe-cooling method with the analytical result which follows in an arrangement of the cooling pipe.

  • Several researches on cement zero concrete using alkali-activators have been conducted to investigate its fundamental material properties such as slump, strength and durability, however, research on the structural behavior of relevant members involving the elastic modulus, stress-strain relationship is essential for the application of this cement zero concrete to structural members. In this paper the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams using 50 MPa-alkali activated slag concrete was experimentally evaluated. To achieve such a goal, six reinforced concrete beam specimens were fabricated and their shear behaviors were observed. The maximum difference between test results and analysis results in crack shear stress for beam specimens without stirrups is 31%, while that for beam specimens with stirrup is 15%. Furthermore, it is also found that the shear strength of alkali activated slag concrete is by 22~57% greater than the nominal shear strength calculated by design code, implying that shear design equations would provide conservative results on the safety side.

  • This study purposed to apply function form content, the three concepts that have been discussed by many philosophers since ancient times, to fashion design. Specific research goals are : first, to define fashion design based on the three concepts : and second, to examine how each of the three concepts function-oriented, form-oriented and content-oriented design have been expressed in women's fashion in the $20^{th} century. For these purposes. the author considered Morris' semiotics, which is the theoretical background of the three concepts, reviewed previous researches in design area, and applied the findings to fashion design. According to the result of applying the threefold structure of semiotics. which is the theoretical background of the three concepts, the pragmatic dimension of fashion design comprehends all functional rules related to the use of dress such as body motion and protection, health and safety. air flow and durability, and its syntactic dimension comprehend all the formal elements of visual design such as the structure, shape, line, color and material of dress. The semantic dimension of fashion design includes the symbolic meanings of dress expressed by emotion, sentiment and images. The three dimensions exist interdependently with one another. According to the result of considering the characteristics of the three concepts in the scope of women's fashion in the $20^{th} century. function-oriented design is characterized by practicality and simplicity, and has been expressed as the fashion of functionalism in the 1920s, that of minimalism in the 1960s, and the basic style from 1970s to 1980s, 1990s and the present. Form-oriented design has pursued aestheticism, putting stress upon form, and has been expressed with organic shapes imitating patterns found in nature in the 1950s and with optical art fashion in the 1960s. Content-oriented design attaches importance to transmission of delicate meanings related to the mental world of human beings, and is represented with symbolic forms. Such a characteristic has been expressed in fashion in the early 20th century influenced by surrealism and, with various types of design breaking established forms as well as metaphors and humors that characterize design in the late 20th century.
