With an active structural involvement in spiral case structure (SCS) that is always the design and research focus of hydroelectric power plant (HPP), the compressible membrane sandwiched between steel spiral case and surrounding reinforced concrete was often assumed to be linear elastic material in conventional design analysis of SCS. Unfortunately considerable previous studies have proved that the foam material serving as membrane exhibits essentially nonlinear mechanical behavior. In order to clarify the effect of membrane (foam) material's nonlinear stress-strain behavior on SCS, this work performed a case study on SCS with a compressible membrane using the ABAQUS code after a sound calibration of the employed constitutive model describing foam material. In view of the successful capture of fitted stress-strain curve of test by the FEM program, we recommend an application and dissemination of the simulation technique employed in this work for membrane material description to structural designers of SCS. Even more important, the case study argues that taking into account the nonlinear stress-strain response of membrane material in loading process is definitely essential. However, we hold it unnecessary to consider the membrane material's hysteresis and additionally, employment of nonlinear elastic model for membrane material description is adequate to the structural design of SCS. Understanding and accepting these concepts will help to analyze and predict the structural performance of SCS more accurately in design effort.

Lightness and flexibility of membrane roofs make them very sensitive to any external load. One of the most important parameters that controls their behavior, especially under wind load is the sag/span ratio of edge cables. Based on the value of the pretension force in the edge cables and the horizontal projection of the actual area covered by the membrane, an optimized design range of cable sag/span ratios has been determined through carrying on several membrane form-finding analyses. Fully coupled fluid structure dynamic analyses of these membrane roofs are performed under wind load with several conditions using the CFD method. Through investigating the numerical results of these analyses, the behavior of membrane roofs with cables sag/span ratios selected from the previously determined optimized design range has been evaluated.

차수용 박층 멤브레인은 폴리머로 구성된 재료로 기존 방수포(sheet membrane)와 비교했을 때, 시공에 있어서 뿜어 붙이는 방식을 사용하기 때문에 타설이 용이하고 상대적으로 높은 부착성능을 보이는 재료이다. 하지만, 차수용 박층 멤브레인은 최근에 개발된 재료로 그 성능이나 구조물과의 거동 양상은 충분히 보고되지 못한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 차수용 박층 멤브레인이 삽입된 복합 숏크리트 재료에 대해 전단시험을 수행한 기존 연구 결과를 이용하여 차수용 박층 멤브레인의 전단거동을 수치해석적으로 접근하여 접촉면 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구를 통해 숏크리트 사이에 시공된 멤브레인에 의해 숏크리트의 전단거동과는 다른 거동을 보여 일반적으로 사용되는 전단강도 방식으로 거동을 표현하는데에는 한계가 있었다. 이에 따라 수치해석 방법을 사용하여 직접 전단시험을 모사하였고 차수용 박층 멤브레인의 전단거동을 가장 효과적으로 표현할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

Zinc and lead pollution are public environmental issues that have attracted lots of attention for a long time. Landfill leachate contains heavy metals, such as Zn(II) and Pb(II), which are usually related to the pollution of groundwater, especially in developing countries. Bentonite has been proven to be effective in enhancing the membrane property of clay, by which landfill liners can have better barrier performance towards the migration of contaminants. In this study, 5% sodium bentonite amended with locally available Fukakusa clay was utilized to evaluate the membrane behavior towards the heavy metals zinc and lead. The chemico-osmotic efficiency coefficient, ${\omega}$, was obtained through Zn(II) and Pb(II) solutions with different concentrations of 0.5, 1, 5, 10, and 50 mM. According to the results, ${\omega}$ continually decreased as the Zn(II) and Pb(II) concentrations increased, which is consistent with the Gouy-Chapman theory. Compared to normal inorganic ions, the membrane behavior towards heavy metal ions was lower. The migration of heavy metal ions was not observed based on experimental results, which can be attributed to the adsorption or ion exchange reaction. The mechanisms of the membrane performance change were discussed with the assistance of XRD patterns, free swelling results, XRF results, and SEM images.

The massive structures are not free to move with vibration, differential settlement, thermal stresses because, construction and expansion joint, crack etc., can be large enough to cause leakage as deformation of waterproofing. It has been depended on the test method of tensile/tear strength which is waterproofing performance as behavior of concrete structure crack. However, not to practically confirm the creep applied to concrete surface, even waterproofing membrane have more performance than definite strength and elasticity. Therefore, in this study will focus on the test method to consider a resistance performance about loose adhesion and deformation of waterproofing and behavior of concrete structure as construction/expansion joint, crack. Performance test method on the influence as behavior of concrete structure crack is to choose waterproofing materials and construction method which possible to confront with behavior of 50mm crack in the atmosphere and low temperature. Examine the deformation of waterproofing membrane and loose adhesion which can occur to structure in general job site, suggest standard testing method to analyze correlation waterproofing membrane and structure with 5-types of materials used in this study, such as Adhesion membrane and sheet complex, sheet and urethane complex, self-adhesive sheet, spray poly-urea, spray membrane of rubberized Asphalt.

본 연구에서는 저 레이놀즈 수 유동장에서 유연 익형의 공탄성적 거동과 공기 역학적 성능이 평가되었다. 유연 익형은 비정상 유동장에서 저 레이놀즈 수 익형으로 흔히 사용되는 CLARK-Y 익형 윗면의 일정부분에 질량이 없는 박막을 장착하여 모델링 하였다. 박막의 거동은 공기역학적 힘과 박막의 평형 방정식에 의해 지배되며 평형 방정식의 무차원화로부터 유동과 박막간의 상호작용을 나타내는 무차원 변수가 도출되며 이 무처원 변수가 박막의 거동에 큰 영향을 미친다. 박막의 분포를 익형 윗면의 지정된 지점에서부터 뒷전까지 분포시키되 지정된 박막 분포의 시작점을 변화시켜가며 각 박막 분포에서 박막의 공탄성적 거동을 지배하는 무차원 변수에 대해 공기역학적 성능의 최적화를 수행하였다. 그 결과 박막 분포의 시작점이 뒷전으로 이동할수록 무차원 변수는 거의 선형적으로 증가해야함을 알 수 있었다.

The present study aims at characterizing and modeling the anisotropic creep behavior of coated textile membrane, a class of flexible textile composites that are used for moderate span enclosures (roofs and air-halls). The objective is to develop a creep model for predicting the lifetime of coated textile membrane. Uniaxial creep tests were conducted on three off-axis coupon specimens to obtain the directional creep compliance. A potential with three parameters is shown to be adequate for modeling the anisotropic creep behavior of coated textile membrane. Furthermore, a possibility of predicting the creep deformation of coated textile membrane in a multi-axial stress state is discussed using the three-parameter potential.

In this work, the physicochemical properties for permeant molecules and polyion complex membrane prepared by complexation between SA and chitosan were determined by using molecular modeling methods, and the permeation behaviors of water and alcohol molecules through the PIC membrane have been investigated. In the case of penetrant molecule, the experimental results showed that the prepared membrane was excellent pervaporation performance result in most solution, and the selectivity and permeability of the membrane were dependent on the molecular size, the polarity and the hydrophilic surface of permeant organics. However, the separation behavior of methanol aqueous solution exhibited other permeation tendency with other feed solutions and contradictory result. That is, the membrane were preferentially permeable to methanol over water despite water molecule has stronger polarity and small molecular size than methanol molecule. In this study, the results were discussed from the viewpoint of chemical and physical properties between permeant molecules and membrane in the diffusion state.
