Shake table tests were conducted on scaled tunnel model to investigate the mechanism and effect of seismic loadings on horseshoe scaled tunnel model in ground fissure site. Key technical details of the experimental test were set up, including similarity relations, boundary conditions, sensor layout, modelling methods were presented. Synthetic waves and El Centro waves were adopted as the input earthquake waves. Results measured from hanging wall and foot wall were compared and analyzed. It is found that the seismic loadings increased the subsidence of hanging wall and lead to the appearance and propagation of cracks. The values of acceleration, earth pressure and strain were greater in the hanging wall than those in the foot wall. The tunnel exhibited the greatest earth pressure on right and left arches, however, the earth pressure on the crown of arch is the second largest and the inverted arch has the least earth pressure in the same tunnel section. Therefore, the effect of the hanging wall on the seismic performance of metro tunnel in earth fissure ground should be considered in the seismic design.

Flavonoids have diverse biological functions in human health. All flavonoids contain a common 2-phenyl chromone structure (C6-C3-C6) as a scaffold. Hence, in using such a scaffold, plenty of high-value-added flavonoids can be synthesized by chemical or biological catalyzation approaches. (2S)-Naringenin is one of the most commonly used flavonoid scaffolds. However, biosynthesizing (2S)-naringenin has been restricted not only by low production but also by the expensive precursors and inducers that are used. Herein, we established an induction-free system to de novo biosynthesize (2S)-naringenin in Escherichia coli. The tyrosine synthesis pathway was enhanced by overexpressing feedback inhibition-resistant genes (aroG^fbr and tyrA^fbr) and knocking out a repressor gene (tyrR). After optimizing the fermentation medium and conditions, we found that glycerol, glucose, fatty acids, potassium acetate, temperature, and initial pH are important for producing (2S)-naringenin. Using the optimum fermentation medium and conditions, our best strain, Nar-17LM1, could produce 588 mg/l (2S)-naringenin from glucose in a 5-L bioreactor, the highest titer reported to date in E. coli.

중수로 원자로에서 핵심 구조물인 압력관은 합금이 사용되고 있는데, 고온, 고압의 방사선 분위기에서 사용되기 때문에 가동중 변형을 받는다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 압력관의 건전성 평가기술을 확보하기 위하여 Zr-2.5wt.% Nb 압력관의 집합조직과 온도 변화에 따른 강도 특성을 조사하였다. 집합조직의 변화는 시편의 채취방향을 달리하여 네 가지의 집합조직 변화를 주었으며, 이들 시편에 대해 상온에서 부터 45$0^{\circ}C$까지 온도를 변화시가면서 인장시험을 실시하였다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 시편의 집합조직과 관계없이 네 종류의 시편 모두가 30$0^{\circ}C$까지는 강도가 직선적으로 감소하는 현상을 보이며, 30$0^{\circ}C$에서 37$0^{\circ}C$ 사이의 온도에서 강도가 약간 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 또한 37$0^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 강도가 다시 직선적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이 같은 현상은 30$0^{\circ}C$ 까지는 프리즘 슬림(-slip)으로 전위가 움직이다가 30$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서부터 37$0^{\circ}C$까지는 피라미드 슬림(-slip)계의 경쟁 상호작용에 의한 추가적인 응력이 필요하여 나타난 현상이라 사료된다. 온도의 변화에 따른 강도와 연신율의 curve에서 30$0^{\circ}C$와 37$0^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 plateaus region과 연신율이 최소값을 갖는 것은 동적변형시효(dynamic strain ageing)현상과 관련이 있는 것으로 생각되나 추가적인 연구가 필요하다. 집합도가 변함에 따라 인장강도는 T(transverse)>L(longitudinal)> 30。> 45 。순으로 나타났으며 이는 slip과 twin의 복합적인 작용에 의한 것으로 해석된다.

The behaviour of concrete confined by transverse reinforcement is a classical topic. Numerous studies have been conducted to establish the stress-strain relationships for concrete under various confining reinforcement arrangements. Many empirical and semi-empirical formulas exist. Simplified analytical models have also been proposed to evaluate the increase in the strength and ductility of confined concrete. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to utilise advanced computational models for a realistic simulation of the behaviour of concrete confined by transverse reinforcement. As a matter of fact, high fidelity simulations using the latest numerical solvers in conjunction with advanced material constitutive models can be a powerful means to investigating the mechanisms underlying the confining effects of different reinforcement schemes. This paper presents a study on the use of high fidelity finite element models for the investigation of the behaviour of concrete confined by stirrups, as well as the interpretation of the numerical results. The development of the models is described in detail, and the essential modelling considerations are discussed. The models are then validated by simulating representative experimental studies on short columns with different confining reinforcement schemes. The development and distribution of the confining stress and the subsequent increase in the axial strength are examined. The models are shown to be capable of reproducing the behaviour of the confined concrete realistically, paving a way for systematic parametric studies and investigation into complicated confinement, load combination, and dynamic loading situations.

PS/PPO 블렌등의 동적 탄성율 E*($\omega$)와 동적 스트레인-광학계수 O*($\omega$)을 유리전이 영역에서 동시에 측정하여, PS/PPO 3종류조성블렌드의 E*($\omega$)와 O*($\omega$)완화거동을 조성 단 일 중합체와 비교고찰하였다. PS/PPO 블렌드의 $\alpha$-분산 점탄성 거동은 조성에 관계없이 거 의 유사하여 조성 고분자가 상호 협동적으로 완화하는 것을 알수 있었다. 그러나 광학적 완 화 스펙트럼 O*($\omega$)는 정성적으로 명확히 다른 거동을 보였다. 단일 PS와 PPO의 O*($\omega$)는 전 영역에 걸쳐 상반된 부로를 나타냈으며 두 고분자의 블렌드는 조성고분자의 반대부호를 상호보상으로 인하여 복굴절이 감소하였다. 3종류블렌드는 PPO의 조성이 증가함에 따라 상 호보상에 의해 O*($\omega$)의부호가 순차적으로 변하여 반전하였으며, 저 복굴절 PS/PPO 블렌드 의 PS조성이 65-80wt% 범위내에 있음을 추정할수 있었다. 상이한 부호를 갖는 복굴절 특 성으로 인하여 블렌드 내에서 각 성분 고분자의 완화 기여를 다순 가성법칙에 의해 정량적 으로 계산하는 것이 가능하였다. 또한 PS/PPO 블렌드의 상용성을 광학적 부분 기여 파라메 터를 사용하여 고찰하였다.

Today, In-Situ testing for measureing geotechnical characterization are divided by Cone Penetration Test, Standard Penetration Test and Dilatometer Test, and will vary depending on soil conditions have been applied (Korea Geotechnical Engineering, 2006). However, these methods can be applied on sand or soft clay soil. Now, many studies are progressing for evaluating the stiffness characteristic of rocks and IGM. and Nam moon suk(2006) did Texas Cone Penetrometer Test for designing field penetration pile intruded at rocks and IGM. but, reliability of Texas Cone Penetration Test has confidence limits because TCPT is testing in Texas centrally, and energy dose not measure Woojin Lee, etc. (1998) did calculate Standard Penetration Test Hammer's dynamic energy efficiency by using dongjaeha analyzer. this research, we installed strain gage and accelerometer for supply existing equipment, and develop MCP that can use variety soils. this thesis, we measured energy at head and tip of Rod for evaluating energy that transport at free falling. As a result, Energy differences are occurred at head and tip of Rod.

In this study, Liquefaction characteristics of saturated sand under various dynamic loadings such as sinusoidal loading, increasing wedge loading, and real earthquake loading were investigated focusing on the dissipated energy. From the results of cyclic triaxial test, liquefaction resistance strength was calculated by the concept of energy according to the type of input loading. Liquefaction resistance strength was expressed in accumulated dissipated energy calculated from stress-strain curve(hysteresis loop). The dissipated energy according to loading type was compared and the energy-based evaluation was proposed. The procedures are presented in terms of normalized energy demand(NED), normalized energy capacity(NEC), and factor of safely, where NED is the load imparted to the soil by the loading(both amplitude and duration), NEC is the demand required to induce liquefaction, and factor of safely is defined as the ratio of NEC and NED.

In the analysis of impulsive response of plate, Lagrange's theory, Reissner's theory and Mindlin's theory are generally used. But, in applying these theories the impulsive stresses directly underneath the concentrated impact point cannot be analyzed because the solution fails to converge. In this paper, therefore, an attempt for a supported square plate is made by using three-dimensional dynamic theory of elasticity on the supposition that the uniform distributed load acts on the central part of it. In order to clarify the validity of theoretical analysis, the strain variations are measured experimentally for a square glass plate. Finally it is shown that these theoretical results are in close agreement with the experimental results.

In this paper, a new method is suggested to analyze impulsive stresses at loading poing of concentrated impact load under certain impact conditions determined by impact velocity, stiffness of plate and mass of impact body, etc. The impulsive stresses are analyzed by using the three dimensional dynamic theory of elasticity so as to analytically clarify the generation phenomenon of cone crack at the impact fracture of fragile materials (to be discussed if the second paper). The Lagrange's plate theory and Hertz's law of contact theory are used for the analysis of impact load, and the approximate equation of impact load is suggested to analyze the impulsive stresses at the impact point to decide the ranage of impact load factor. When impact load factors are over and under 0.263, approximate equations are suggested to be F(t)=Aexp(-Bt)sinCt and F(t)=Aexp(-bt) {1-exp(Ct)} respectively. Also, the inverse Laplace transformation is done by using the F.F.T.(fast fourier transform) algorithm. And in order to clarity the validity of stress analysis method, experiments on strain fluctuation at impact point are performed on a supported square glass plate. Finally, these analytical results are shown to be in close agreement with experimental results.

This paper addresses the systematic procedure using sequential approach for the analysis of the coupled thermo-mechanical behavior of a steady rolling tire. Not only the knowledge of mechanical stresses but also of the temperature loading in a rolling tire are very important because material damage and material properties are significantly affected by the temperature. In general, the thermo-mechanical behavior of a pneumatic tire is highly complex transient phenomenon that requires the solution of a dynamic nonlinear coupled themoviscoelasticity problem with heat source resulting from internal dissipation and friction. In this paper, a sequential approach, with effective calculation schemes, to modeling this system is presented in order to predict the temperature distribution with reasonable sccuracies in a steady state rolling tire. This approach has the three major analysis modules-deformation, dissipation, and thermal modules. In the dissipation module, an analytic method for the calculation of the heat source in a rolling tire is established using viscoelastic theory. For the verification of the calculated temperature profiles and rolling resistance at different velocities, they were compared with the measured ones.
