Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is extensively discussed as a promising topic for ground stabilization. The practical effect of stabilizing the expansive soil is presented in this paper with a logical process from the bacterial activity to the treatment technology. Temperature, pH, shaking frequency, and inoculation amount are discussed to evaluate the bacterial activity. The physic-mechanic properties are also evaluated to discuss the effect of the MICP process on expansive soil. Results indicate that the MICP method achieves the mitigation of expansion. The treated soil has a low proportion of fine particles (< 5 ㎛), the plasticity index significantly decreases, and strength values improve much. MICP process has a significant cementation effect on the soil matrix. Moreover, the infiltration model test presents the coating effect on the topsoil. According to the relation between the CaCO₃ content and the treatment effect, the topsoil has better treatment than the deeper soil.

Steel brace strengthening is the most popular seismic rehabilitation method for school buildings. This is because the design can be conducted by using relatively easy nonlinear pushover analysis and standard modeling in codes. An issue with steel brace strengthening is that the reinforced building should behave elastically to satisfy performance objectives. For this, the size of steel braces should be highly increased, which results in excessive strengthening cost by force concentration on existing members and foundations due to the considerable stiffness and strength of the steel braces. The main reason may be the brittle failure mode of columns, so this study investigated the relationship between the efficiency of steel brace strengthening and column failure modes. The result showed that the efficiency is highly dependent on the shear capacity ratio of columns and structural analysis methods. School buildings reinforced by steel braces do not need to behave elastically when the shear capacity ratio is low, and pushover analysis is used, which means reducing steel material is possible.

A half open cross section built-up column, namely cold-formed thin-walled steel built-up column with 12-limbsection (CTSBC-12) is put forward. To deeply reveal the mechanical behaviors of CTSBC-12 under axial compression and put forward its calculation formula of axial bearing capacity, based on the previous axial compression experimental research, the finite element analysis (FEA) is conducted on 9 CTSBC-12 specimens, and then the variable parameter analysis is carried out. The results show the FEA is in good agreement with the experimental research, the ultimate bearing capacity error is within 10%. When the slenderness ratio is more than 96.54, the ultimate bearing capacity of CTSBC-12 decreases rapidly, and the failure mode changes from local buckling to global buckling. With the local buckling failure mode unchanged, the ultimate bearing capacity decreases gradually as the ratio of web height to thickness increases. Three methods are used for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity, the direct strength method of AISI S100-2007 gives result of ultimate axial load which is closest to the test and FEA results. But for simplicity and practicality, a simplified axial bearing capacity formula is proposed, which has better calculation accuracy with the slenderness ratio changing from 30 to 100.

Concrete is one of the most widely used structure materials. Concrete is like the motor of the construction industry. The remarkable feature of this Concrete is its cheapness and low energy consumption. Concrete alone does not show resistance against any force but only against compressive forces. Therefore, steel rebar product is used as a reinforcement and increase the strength of Concrete. It can be done by putting rebar in Concrete in different ways. Rebar rusting is one of the crucial symptoms that cause swift destruction in reinforced structures-factors such as moisture in concrete increase the steel corrosion rate. In most cases, it is difficult to compensate for the damage caused by the corrosion of base metals, so preventing corrosion will be much more cost-effective. Coatings made with nanotechnology can protect Concrete against external degradation factors to prevent water and humidity from penetrating the Concrete and prevent rusting and corrosion of the rebar inside. It prevents water penetration and contamination into the Concrete and increases the Concrete's quality and structural efficiency. In this research, silica and titanium dioxide nanoparticle coatings have been used due to their suitable electrical and thermal properties, resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and wear to prevent the corrosion of rebars in Concrete. The results of this method show that these nanoparticles significantly improve the corrosion resistance of rebars.

In order to study the fatigue performance of the flat steel plate-lightweight aggregate concrete hollow composite bridge slab subjected to fatigue load, both static test on two specimens and fatigue test on six specimens were conducted. The effects of the arrangement of the steel pipes, the amplitude of the fatigue load and the upper limit as well as lower limit of fatigue load on failure performance were investigated. Besides, for specimens in fatigue test, strains of the concrete, residual deflection, bending stiffness, residual bearing capacity and dynamic response were analyzed. Test results showed that the specimens failed in the fracture of the bottom flat steel plate regardless of the arrangement of the steel pipes. Moreover, the fatigue loading cycles of composite slab were mainly controlled by the amplitude of the fatigue load, but the influences of upper limit and lower limit of fatigue load on fatigue life was slight. The fatigue life of the composite bridge slabs can be determined by the fatigue strength of bottom flat steel plate, which can be calculated by the method of allowable stress amplitude in steel structure design code.

Ten women in their 20s and 10 women in their 50s were selected to investigate the effect of an elastic band exercise program for 8 weeks according to age on women's knee speed expression rate and balance. Knee isokinetic muscle strength measurement, single-legged standing with eyes closed, and YBT were performed 1 week before and after the exercise program. The measured data were analyzed through a mixed design two-way ANOVA, and if there was a significant difference, post hoc verification was performed using the bonferoni method. In our study, as a result of an 8-week elastic band exercise program, there was no difference in the speed development rate according to the measurement period, and the speed development rate according to age was found to be higher in people in their 50s than in their 20s. In our study, there was no difference in balance ability depending on the measurement period, and there was also no difference in balance ability depending on age. Discussing the results of our study, we found that 8 weeks of elastic band exercise cannot bring about significant changes in speed development ability and balance ability, which become more accurate with age.

이 연구는 터널설계의 안정성을 예측하기 위한 터널거동분석에 초점을 맞춘 것이다. 3차원 수치해석, 현장계측 후 최대 변형 및 사쿠라이에 의해 제안된 터널변형에 관한 경험적 안정성 평가방법들을 결합한 평가기법을 사용하였다. 사쿠라이가 사용한 계측자료들은 새로운 해석기법을 도입하여 재해석되었다. 터널안정해석을 위한 사쿠라이의 경험적 추세선은 이론적 추세선으로 새로이 도입되었으며, 이는 안정, 불안정 및 파괴영역으로 구분되었다. 터널 현장자료의 새 해석기법을 평가하기 위한 현장의 적용 예로, 김포의 지하철 9호선으로 연결되는 인천공항의 지하철터널을 이용하였다. 그 결과 터널보강 후 인천공항 지하철의 상부 및 하부터널 모두 충분한 안정성을 보였다. 마이크로 실리카 그라우팅과 엄브레라방법에 의한 지반보강 후 겉보기 영계수가 상당히 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 그러므로, 제안된 새 해석기법을 이용하면, 터널변형과 지반조건에 따른 최적의 보강기법 선정에 활용할 수 있다.

철근콘크리트 건축물에 중장비를 탑재하여 해체작업을 시행할 때, 중장비와 철거잔재의 중량은 건축물을 설계할 당시에 고려하지 못한 하중으로 작용한다. 그러나 우리나라 해체 현장에서는 건축물의 안전성에 대한 구조전문가의 검토 없이, 현장 관리자나 작업자의 경험에 의하여 중장비 탑재와 해체작업이 이루어지고 있어 작업 중에 건축물이 붕괴하거나 중장비가 추락하는 사례도 발생하고 있다. 따라서 해체공사 시행 과정에서 해체 대상 건축물의 구조안전성을 평가할 수 있는 평가기법과 구조부재가 부담할 수 있는 적정 장비중량에 대한 기준 마련이 시급한 실정이다. 이 논문에서는 기계해체 현장에 대한 방문조사와 작업근로자에 대한 설문조사를 통해 해체 대상 건축물의 안전성 평가에 필요한 철거잔재 하중, 하중계수, 강도감소계수, 작업하중 등을 제안하였다. 해체 현황을 고려한 구조물의 해석과 부재(슬래브, 보)의 적절한 안전성 평가방법을 제시하였으며, RC 슬래브와 RC 보의 제원에 따라 양중 가능한 중장비의 중량을 제시하였다. 이 연구에서 제안한 해체구조물의 안전성 평가기법과 중장비 탑재 등급은 해체대상 구조부재의 성능을 합리적으로 평가하고, 적정한 장비운영을 통한 해체작업의 효율성과 안전성을 향상하는 데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

쏘일 네일링 공법은 비탈면 안정을 위해 네일의 인발 및 전단저항력을 이용하여 비탈면을 보강하는 가장 일반적인 공법이다. 국내의 쏘일 네일링 설계법은 인발저항만을 고려하고 전단저항에 대한 고려가 충분히 이루어지고 있지 않다. 네일의 경우 인장응력에 의한 효과가 지배적이나 원호파괴가 일어나는 비탈면의 경우 전단응력까지 고려하여 설계하는 것이 바람직하다. 최근 지반분야에서 네일의 전단저항 효과에 관한 연구들도 진행되고 있다. 하지만 아직까지는 쏘일 네일링의 전단보강 효과에 관한 연구는 많이 이루어지고 있지 않은 실정이다. 대부분이 네일의 재료, 형상, 시공방법 등의 개선을 통한 인발저항 증대에 관한 연구이다. 따라서 쏘일 네일링의 전단저항에 대한 연구 및 전단력을 증대시킬 수 있는 새로운 공법개발이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이형철근 외측에 패커를 설치한 후 가압식 그라우팅을 통해 돌기를 형성함으로써 전단저항력을 증대시킬 수 있는 새로운 쏘일 네일링 공법에 대하여 대형전단시험 및 한계평형해석을 수행하였다. 연구결과 돌기네일의 전단저항력은 일반네일에 비해 향상되였으며, 강도정수가 큰 지반에 적용하였을 때 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.
