This paper will describe the experimental results on the shear behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) beam with recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the influences of different RCA replacement percentage (i.e, 0%, 30%, 60%, and 100%) on the shear performance of reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement. Eight large-scale RC beams without shear reinforcement were manufactured and tested to shear failure. All had a rectangular cross-section with 400mm width ${\times}$ 600mm depth and 6000mm length, and were tested with a shear span-to-depth of 5.1. The results showed that the deflection and shear strength were little affected by the different RCA replacement percentage. Actual shear strength of each RCA beam was compared with the shear strength predicted using the provisions of ACI 318 code and Zsutty'e equation for shear design of RC beams. ACI 318 code predicted the shear strength of RCA reinforced concrete beams well.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the free vibration of stepped noncircular arches. Taking into account the effects of axial deformation, rotatory inertia and shear deformation, the governing differential equations are solved numerically for the elliptic and sinusoidal geometries with hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped, and clamped-clamped end constraints. The lowest four natural frequencies are presented as functions of four non-dimensional system parameters: the arch rise to span length ratio, the slenderness ratio, the section ratio, and the discontinuous sector ratio.

The seismic performance of moment frames could vary according to the rotation capacity of their connections. The minimum rotation capacity of moment connections for steel intermediate moment frames (IMF) was defined as 0.02 radian in AISC 341-10. This study evaluated the seismic performance of IMF frames with connections having a rotation capacity of 0.02 radian. For this purpose, thirty IMFs were designed according to current seismic design provisions considering different design parameters such as the number of stories, span length, and seismic design categories. The procedure specified in FEMA P695 was used for conducting seismic performance evaluation. It was observed that the rotation capacity of 0.02 radian could not guarantee the satisfactory seismic performance of IMFs. This study also conducted seismic performance evaluation for IMFs with connections having the rotation capacity of 3% and ductile connections for proposing the minimum rotation capacity of IMF connections.

Trouble by excessive axial stress in CWR layed on a bridge is frequently happen, and this problem is induced from lack of considering on the track/structure interface on preliminary design stage. In this study, the sensitivity evaluation for the major influencing parameters, that is, expansion length of span, stiffness of super structure, arrangement of bearing, and strength of sub-structure, to the axial force in CWR on a bridge is conducted. From the sensitivity study, the guideline to reduce axial force efficiently in CWR for bridge engineer was suggested. The suggested guideline may not applicable for every case, but it is helpful for preliminary design of bridge.

This paper considers the Marine Traffic Risk Assessment for fixed and moving targets, which threaten officers during a voyage. The Collision Risk Assessment Formula was calculated based on a dynamic ship domain considering the length, speed and maneuvering capability of a vessel. In particular, the Navigation Risk Assessment Model that is used to quantitatively index the effect of a ship's size, speed, etc. has been reviewed and improved using a hybrid combination of a vessel's dynamic area and the Collision Risk Assessment Formula. Accordingly, a new type of Marine Traffic Risk Assessment Model has been suggested giving consideration to the Speed Length Ratio, which was not sufficiently reflected in the existing Risk Assessment Model. The larger the Speed Length Ratio (dimensionless speed), the higher the CJ value. That is, the CJ value is presented well by the Speed Length Ratio. When the Speed Length Ratio is large, states ranging from [Caution], [Warning], [Dangerous] or [Very Dangerous] are presented from a greater distance than when the Speed Length Ratio is small. The results of this study, can be used for route and port development, including dangerous route avoidance, optimum route planning, breakwater width, bridge span, etc. as well as the development of costal navigation safety charts. This research is also applicable for the selection of optimum ship routing and the prevention of collisions for smart ships such as autonomous vessels.

Damping ratio and frequency have influence on dynamic serviceability or instability such as vortex-induced vibration and displacement amplification due to earthquake and critical flutter velocity, and it is thus important to make determination of damping ratio and frequency accurate. As bridges are getting longer, small scale model test considering similitude law must be conducted to evaluate damping ratio and frequency. Analysis conditions modified by similitude law are applied to experimental test considering different scale ratios. Generally, Nyquist frequency condition based on natural frequency modified by similitude law has been used to determine sampling rate for different scale ratios, and total time length has been determined by users arbitrarily or by considering similitude law with respect to time for different scale ratios. However, Nyquist frequency condition is not suitable for multimode system with noisy signals. In addition, there is no specified criteria for determination of total time length. Those analysis conditions severely affect accuracy of damping ratio. The focus of this study is made on the determination of minimum analysis conditions for different scale ratios. Influence of signal to noise ratio is studied according to the level of noise level. Free initial value problem is proposed to resolve the condition that is difficult to know original initial value for free vibration. Ambient and free vibration tests were used to analyze the dynamic properties of a system using data collected from tests with a two degree-of-freedom section model and performed on full bridge 3D models of cable stayed bridges. The free decay is estimated with the stochastic subspace identification method that uses displacement data to measure damping ratios under noisy conditions, and the iterative least squares method that adopts low pass filtering and fourth order central differencing. Reasonable results were yielded in numerical and experimental tests.

In simply supported concrete beams with concentrated load, there is arch action that the internal lever arm length varies through shear span. Recently shear analysis model considering this effect has been developed, but the analysis algorithm is so complicated. Moreover, the variation of internal lever arm length is not considered on the shear compatibility condition. In this study, the shear analysis model is developed more simply and the variation of internal lever arm length is considered on the shear compatibility condition. From these modifications, an actual shear behavior of RC beams subjected to concentrated load could be expected from the results of the proposed analysis model.

In decoding the turbo codes, the sliding window BCJR algorthm, derived from the BCJR algorithm, permits a continuous decoding of the coded sequence without requiring trellis fermination of the constituent codes and uses reduced memory span. However, the number of computation required is greater than that of BCJR algorithm and no study on the effect of the window length has been reported. In this paper, we propose an eddicient sliding window type scheme which maintains the advantages of the conventional sliding window algorithm, reduces its computational burdens, and improves is BER performance. A guideline is first presented to determine the proper window length and then a computationally efficient sliding window BCJR algorithm is obtained by allowing the window to be forwarded in multi-step. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional sliding window BCJR algorithm with reduced complexity. It gains 0.1dB SNR improvements over the conventional method for the constraint length 3 and BER $10^{-4}$

Shear resistance of BESTOBEAM, which has angle as shear connector and was developed with purpose of easy construction, was tested. With the test results shear resistance design equation was proposed. Unlike angle connector of Eurocode 4, BESTO BEMA shear connector behaves like fixed-end beam. Therefor longer span of the shear connector the lower shear resistance it has. As a result, shear resistance of BESTOBEAM shear connector according to its length tends to decrease as its length gets longer. The authors proposed design equation of angle shear connector sased on the test results. The results from the test and the proposed equation match within 10% error range. Therefore the proposed equation can be used for designing shear connector of BESTOBEAM.
