In this paper, stabilities of a plane slide rock slope under different hydraulic distributions were studied based on the nonlinear Barton-Bandis (B-B) failure criterion. The influence of various parameters on the stability of rock slopes was analyzed. Parametric analysis indicated that studying the factor of safety (FS) of planar slide rock slopes using the B-B failure criterion is both simple and effective and that the effects of the basic friction angle of the joint (${\varphi}_b$), the joint roughness coefficient (JRC), and the joint compressive strength (JCS) on the FS of a planar slide rock slope are significant. Qualitatively, the influence of the JCS on the FS of a slope is small, whereas the influences of the ${\varphi}_b$ and the JRC are significant. The FS of the rock slope decreases as the water in a tension crack becomes deeper. This trend is more significant when the flow outlet is blocked, a situation that is particularly prevalent in regions with permafrost or seasonal frozen soil. Finally, the work is extended to study the reliability of the slope against plane failure according to the uncertainty from physical and mechanics parameters.

There are continuous efforts in the electronics industry to a reduced electronic package size. Reducing the size of electronic packages can be achieved by a variety of means, and for ball grid array(BGA) packages an effective method is to decrease the pitch between the individual balls. Chip scale package(CSP) and BGA are now one of the major package types. However, a reduced package size has the negative effect of reducing board-level reliability. The reliability concern is for the different thermal expansion rates of the two-substrate materials and how that coefficient CTE mismatch creates added stress to the BGA solder joint when thermal cycled. The point of thermal fatigue in a solder joint is an important factor of BGA packages and knowing at how many thermal cycles can be ran before failure in the solder BGA joint is a must for designing a reliable BGA package. Reliability of the package was one of main issues and underfill was required to improve board-level reliability. By filling between die and substrate, the underfill could enhance the reliability of the device. The effect of underfill on various thermomechanical reliability issues in $\mu$BGA packages is studied in this paper.

Bolted joints are commonly used in civil infrastructure and mechanical assembly structures. Monitoring and identifying the connection status of bolts is the frontier problem of structural research. The existing research is mainly on the looseness of a single bolt. This article presents a study of assessing the loosening/tightening health state and identifying the loose bolt by using ultrasonic guided wave in a bolt group joint. A bolt-tightening index was proposed for evaluating the looseness of a bolt connection based on correlation coefficient. The tightening/loosening state of the bolt was simulated by changing the bolt torque. More than 180 different measurement tests for total of six bolts were conducted. The results showed that with the bolt torque increases, value of the proposed bolt-tightening index increases. The proposed bolt-tightening index trend was very well reproduced by an analytical expression using a function of the torque applied with an overall percentage error lower than 5%. The developed damage index based on the proposed bolt-tightening index can also be applied to locate the loosest bolt in a bolt group joint. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, a bolt group joint experiment with different positions of bolt looseness was performed. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is effective to detect and locate bolt looseness and has a good prospect of finding applications in real-time structural monitoring.

Grout injection is mainly used for permeability reduction and/or improvement of the ground by injecting grout material into pores, cracks, and joints in the ground. The oscillatory grout injection method was developed to enhance the grout penetration. In order to verify the level of enhancement of the grout, field grout injection tests, both static and oscillatory tests, were performed at three job sites. The enhancement in the permeability reduction and ground improvement effect was verified by performing a core boring, borehole image processing analysis, phenolphthalein test, scanning electron microscopy analysis, variable heat test, Lugeon test, standard penetration test, and an elastic wave test. The oscillatory grout injection increased the joint filling rate by 80% more and decreased the permeability coefficient by 33-68%, more compared to the static grout injection method. The constrained modulus of the jointed rock mass was increased by 50% more with oscillatory grout injection compared to the static grout injection, indicating that the oscillatory injection was more effective in enhancing the stiffness of the rock mass.

In this paper, four specimens of CFST column joints with endplates and long bolts are tested in the scenario of progressive collapse. Flush endplate and extended endplate are both adopted in this study. The experimental results show that increasing the thickness of the endplate could improve the behavior of the joint, but delay the mobilization of catenary action. The thickness of the endplate should not be relatively thick in comparison to the diameter of the bolts, otherwise catenary action would not be mobilized or work effectively. Effective bending deformation of the endplate could help the formation and development of catenary action in the joints. The performance of flexural action in the joint would affect the formation of catenary action in the joint. Extra middle-row bolts set at the endplates and structural components set below the bottom beam flange should be used to enhance the robustness of joints. A special weld access hole between beam and endplate should be adopted to mitigate the chain damage potential of welds. It is suggested that the structural components of joints should be independent of each other to enhance the robustness of joints. Based on the component method, a formula calculating the stiffness coefficient of preloaded long bolts was proposed whose results matched well with the experimental results.

탄산화는 콘크리트 내부로 이산화탄소가 확산되어 매립 철근에 부식을 유발함으로서 콘크리트 구조물의 구조적, 재료적 성능을 저하시키는 열화 현상이다. 결정론적인 방법을 통한 내구수명 평가는 일반적이지만, 하중 및 콜드 조인트 효과를 고려한 확률론적 내구수명 평가에 대한 연구는 매우 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 확률 변수를 피복 두께, 이산화탄소 확산계수, 외부 이산화탄소 농도, 내부 수화물 반응량으로 정의하고 취약부와 하중 조건을 고려한 확률론적 내구수명 도출을 MCS (Monte Carlo Simulation) 기법을 통해서 진행하였다. 각 확률 변수의 평균을 1.0 ~ 3.0배로 변화시키고, 변동계수를 0.1 ~ 0.2까지 변화시키면서 내구수명을 평가하였다. 분석한 결과 피복 두께에서 47.7%의 내구수명 감소율을, 이산화탄소 확산계수에서 11.4%의 내구수명 감소율을 나타내었다. 파괴 하중에 30% 및 60%의 압축 및 인장 하중을 고려한 결과, 콜드 조인트가 고려된 경우 GGBFS 콘크리트가 OPC 콘크리트보다 탄산화에 대한 높은 저항성을 보였으며, 인장 영역에서는 사용 재료에 상관없이 선형적으로 내구수명 감소가 평가되었다. 또한 압축 하중 60% 조건에는 미세 균열의 진전으로 인해, 모든 조건에서 빠르게 내구수명이 감소하였다.
