지난 1982년 우라카와 근해지진 및 1995년 효고현 남부 지진 등에 의하여 주철근이 겹침이음된 많은 교각들이 주철근 겹침이음부의 활동에 의한 휨-전단파괴를 발생하였음을 경험하였다. 철근콘크리트 교각의 내진성능은 소성힌지구간의 변형능력에 좌우되고 있으며, 이는 곡률연성도로서 평가된다. 우리나라에서는 1992년 내진 설계가 도입된 이후 철근콘크리트 교각의 주철근겹침이음에 대한 규정이 없었으나, 2005년 도로교 설계기준에서 주철근겹침음을 50% 이내에서 허용하고 있다. 본 연구는 단면 직경이 600 mm이고 형상비가 2.5 및 3.5인 주철근 겹침이음이 있는 철근콘크리트 교각에 대하여 지진시 소성힌지부의 곡률분포 및 곡률연성도에 대하여 조사하였다. 실험은 일정한 축력 $P=0.1f{ck}A_g$가 재하된 상태에서 변위제어 방식으로 준정적실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 반복하중에 의한 주철근 겹침이음부에 활동이 발생하면, 주철근 겹침이음 구간 내의 곡률이 주철근 겹침이음이 없는 경우와 다르게 나타났다. 다시 말하면 주철근 겹침이음 실험체의 겹침이음 구간 중의 하부 곡률은 주철근 겹침이음이 없는 실험체의 경우보다 큰 값을 보이고 있으며, 상부는 작은 값을 보였다. 이로 인하여 교각실험체의 손상은 겹침이음 구간의 하부에 집중되어 휨파괴되는 모습으로 보이는 양상을 보였다.

무도상 판형교는 교량 바닥판과 도상 없이 주거더에 궤도가 직접 연결되어 있는 구조로 열차 통과로 인하여 발생한 충격이 교량 주부재에 직접 전달되어 높은 수준의 소음 진동 뿐 아니라 교량의 잦은 손상을 유발하는 특성이 있다. 레일 장대화는 무도상 판형교의 이러한 구조적인 문제를 경감할 수 있으며, 이를 위해서는 차량-궤도 또는 궤도-교량 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 인자의 특성에 대한 명확한 이해가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 레일체결장치, 침목고정장치 및 궤광을 포함한 실제 무도상 판형교에 설치되어 있는 궤도의 종방향 저항력 특성을 실험을 통하여 검토하였다. 실험은 유도상화 시공을 위하여 철거된 실제 교량을 실험실로 이송하여 수행하였다. 실험 결과 목침목용 레일체결장치의 종방향저항력은 KRS TR 0014-15의 성능합격기준을 만족하며, 교량침목고정장치의 종방향 저항력은 구형과 신형 모두 기존 연구보다 높은 값으로 나타났다. 또한 하중 비재하 시 무도상 궤도의 종방향 저항력은 자갈궤도와 콘크리트궤도 사이의 값으로 나타났다.

This paper investigates the damage identification of the concrete pile element through axial wave propagation technique using computational and experimental studies. Now-a-days, concrete pile foundations are often common in all engineering structures and their safety is significant for preventing the failure. Damage detection and estimation in a sub-structure is challenging as the visual picture of the sub-structure and its condition is not well known and the state of the structure or foundation can be inferred only through its static and dynamic response. The concept of wave propagation involves dynamic impedance and whenever a wave encounters a changing impedance (due to loss of stiffness), a reflecting wave is generated with the total strain energy forked as reflected as well as refracted portions. Among many frequency domain methods, the Spectral Finite Element method (SFEM) has been found suitable for analysis of wave propagation in real engineering structures as the formulation is based on dynamic equilibrium under harmonic steady state excitation. The feasibility of the axial wave propagation technique is studied through numerical simulations using Elementary rod theory and higher order Love rod theory under SFEM and ABAQUS dynamic explicit analysis with experimental validation exercise. Towards simulating the damage scenario in a pile element, dis-continuity (impedance mismatch) is induced by varying its cross-sectional area along its length. Both experimental and computational investigations are performed under pulse-echo and pitch-catch configuration methods. Analytical and experimental results are in good agreement.

Components manufactured from composite materials are frequently subjected to superimposed mechanical and thermal loadings during their operating service. Both types of loadings may cause fracture and failure of composite structures. When composite cross-ply laminates of type [$0_m/90_n]_s$ are subjected to uni-axial tensile loading, different types of damage are set-up and developed such as matrix cracking: transverse and longitudinal cracks, delamination between disoriented layers and broken fibers. The development of these modes of damage can be detrimental for the stiffness of the laminates. From the experimental point of view, transverse cracking is known as the first mode of damage. In this regard, the objective of the present paper is to investigate the effect of transverse cracking in cross-ply laminate under thermo-mechanical degradation. A Finite Element (FE) simulation of damage evolution in composite crossply laminates of type [$0_m/90_n]_s$ subjected to uni-axial tensile loading is carried out. The effect of transverse cracking on the cross-ply laminate strength under thermo-mechanical degradation is investigated numerically. The results obtained by prediction of the numerical model developed in this investigation demonstrate the influence of the transverse cracking on the bearing capacity and resistance to damage as well as its effects on the variation of the mechanical properties such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and coefficient of thermal expansion. The results obtained are in good agreement with those predicted by the Shear-lag analytical model as well as with the obtained experimental results available in the literature.

Two-photon microscopy (TPM) has been used in plant research as a high-resolution high-depth 3D imaging modality. However, TPM is known to induce photo-damage to the plant in case of long time exposure, and optimal excitation wavelength for plant imaging has not been investigated. Longer excitation wavelength may be appropriate for in vivo two-photon imaging of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, and effects of longer excitation wavelength were investigated in terms of imaging depth, emission spectrum. Changes of emission spectrum as a function of exposure time at longer excitation wavelength were measured for in vivo longitudinal imaging. Imaging depth was not changed much probably because photon scattering at the cell wall was a limiting factor. Chloroplast emission spectrum showed its intensity peak shift by 20 nm with transition of excitation wavelength from 849 nm or below to 850 nm or higher. Emission spectrum showed different change patterns with excitation wavelengths in longitudinal imaging. Longer excitation wavelengths appeared to interact with chloroplasts differently in comparison with 780 nm excitation wavelength, and may be good for in vivo imaging.

Recently there have been occurred many loss of life and extensive damage to social infrastructures due to moderate and strong earthquakes all over the world. In this research, major design factors have been evaluated for the establishment of the rational seismic design code of rectangular RC bridge piers. It was concluded from this study that the axial force ratio and the longitudinal steel ratio should be the most important influencing design parameter for the seismic displacement ductility. However those parameters are not considered in the confinement steel ratio of the KHBDS. Thus, the objective of this study is to propose a rational design equation for transverse reinforcements of rectangular RC bridge piers. New confinement steel ratio is proposed by introducing the effect of the axial force and the longitudinal steel to the current KHBDS. It is thought that these new codes could release the rebar congestion problem in the plastic hinge region of RC bridge piers which contribute to the enhancement of constructibility and economization for RC bridge construction.

The purpose of this study is to measure, compare, and investigate the physical properties of rayon/cotton blend fabrics treated with cellulase and cellulase & specific degeneration silicon and to present basic data which is in development a value-added fabric. The results are as follows. The condition for the treatment of cellulase was at 55$^{\circ}C$, pH 4 and the weight loss increased as the concentration of cellulase and the treated time increased. On treatment with cellulase, the crossectional view & longitudinal view of fiber noticed remarkable crack as weight loss increased and tensile strength and elongation decreased, and pilling was enhanced remarkably. KOSHI was increased, NUMERI and FUKURAMI were decreased as weight loss increased. In the basic characteristic value of clothing wearning, shape stability and drapability were decreased, but air content was improved. On treatment with cellulase & silicon, the degree of damage in the crossectional view & longitudinal view of the fiber reduced. Tensile strength, elongation, moisture regain improved. KOSHI and FUKURAMI were reduced, NUMERI was improved rather than when it was treated with cellulase. Therefore handle was improved. In the basic characteristic value of the clothing wearing, shape stability, air content, drapability were improved.

This study investigated a method for the determination of the J-integral for a tough glassy polymer such as polycarbonate plates by using the method of caustics. Comparing the values of J-integral determined by a numerical analysis and by the method of caustics, the method of caustics was found to be an effective experimental technique for the determination of the J-integral. The ratio between two J-integrals determined by the method of caustics and by finite element method converged into 1 within the limit of low load. However, it was noticed that the greater the plastic zone at the crack tip was, the lower the J-integral obtained by the reflect method of caustics. This difference may be deduced from the damage at the crack tip such as craze appeared in the polycarbonate plate. It was confirmed that the ratio of longitudinal diameter( $D_{l}$ ) to transverse diameter ( $D_{t}$) of caustics generally converged into 1 at the low load. The transition of the state of stress at the vicinity of a crack tip from plane strain to plane stress was deduced by noticing that the longitudinal diameter( $D_{l}$ ) grew faster than the transverse diameter( $D_{t}$) of caustics within the higher load range.

To study the eccentric compression behavior of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) columns, six UHPFRC columns and one high-strength concrete (HSC) column were tested. Variation parameters include load eccentricity, volume of steel fibers and stirrup ratio. The crack pattern, failure mode, bearing capacity, and deformation of the specimens were studied. The results showed that the UHPFRC columns had different failure modes. The large eccentric compression failure mode was the longitudinal tensile reinforcements yielded and many horizontal cracks appeared in the tension zone. The small eccentric compression failure mode was the longitudinal compressive reinforcements yielded and vertical cracks appeared in the compressive zone. Because of the bridging effect of steel fibers, the number of cracks significantly increased, and the width of cracks decreased. The load-deflection curves of the UHPFRC columns showed gradually descending without sudden dropping, indicating that the specimens had better deformation. The finite element (FE) analysis was performed to stimulate the damage process of the specimens with monotonic loading. The concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model was adopted to characterize the behaviour of UHPFRC. The contribution of the UHPFRC tensile strength was considered in the bearing capacity, and the theoretical calculation formulas were derived. The theoretical calculation results were consistent with the test results. This research can provide the experimental and theoretical basis for UHPFRC columns in engineering applications.

In this work, the guided wave de-bonding area-detecting technique was studied for application to containment liner plates in nuclear power plant areas. To apply this technique, an appropriate Lamb wave mode, symmetric and longitudinal dominance, was verified by the frequency shifting technique. The S0 2.7 MHz mm Lamb wave mode was chosen to realize quantitative experimental results and their visualization. Results of the bulk wave, longitudinal wave mode, and comparison experiments indicate that the wave mode was able to distinguish between the de-bonded and bonded areas. Similar to the bulk wave cases, the bonded region could be distinguished from the de-bonded region using the Lamb wave approach. The Lamb wave technique results showed significant correlation to the de-bonding area. As the de-bonding area increased, the Lamb wave energy attenuation effect decreased, which was a prominent factor in the realization of quantitative tomographic visualization. The feasibility of tomographic visualization was studied via the application of Lamb waves. The reconstruction algorithm for the probabilistic inspection of damage (RAPID) technique was applied to the containment liner plate to verify and visualize the de-bonding condition. The results obtained using the tomography image indicated that the Lamb wave-based RAPID algorithm was capable of delineating debonding areas.
