The purpose of this study is to predict sloshing pressure of a actual tank by using measured pressure in scaled down tank and to evaluate with structural strength of LNG Corner Block. For this purpose, we performed sloshing analysis about 138K class tank by using Ansys CFX program, and were measured both average pressure and maximum peak pressure according to scaled tank ratio. Also, measured pressure was converted to pressure of the actual tank by Froude scale law, and we conducted the evaluation of structural strength about the conner block of actual size KC-1.

Various types of pilotis frames are used on the ground level of high-rise buildings. In some cases, their interior finishing is destroyed by strong winds or typhoons. In the case of a corner pilotis, the peak wind pressure coefficients were greater on the ceiling than they were on the wall for all wind angles. Specifically, on the ceiling portion of a pilotis, the coefficient increased gradually from the outside to the inside in a symmetrical form that centered on the corner edge. However, the minimum peak wind pressure coefficient was greater at the center of the ceiling than it was on the edge of the pilotis' interior. Additionally, the higher the height of the pilotis, the greater the peak wind pressure coefficient was due to the turbulent flow that occurs within a pilotis. In this study, we evaluated peak wind pressures to design an interior finishing for the end edge of a pilotis and for corner piloti. In terms of specific wind angles, the maximum and minimum peak wind pressure coefficients were each observed. They were a maximum of $320^{\circ}$ and a minimum of $270^{\circ}$ for corner piloti and $0^{\circ}$ and $270^{\circ}$, respectively, for the end edge piloti.

This paper presents 3D infinite elements for the elastodynamic problem with multi-layered half-space. Five different types of infinite elements are formulated by using approximate expressions of multiple wave components for the wave function in multi-layered soil media. They are horizontal, horizontal-corner, vortical, vertical-corner and vertical-horizontal-comer infinite elements. The elements can effectively be used for simulating wane radiation problems with multiple wave components. Numerical example analyses are presented for rigid disk, square footings and embedded footing on homogeneous and layered half-space. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed infinite elements.

Conical vortices generated at the corner regions of large-span flat roofs have been investigated by using the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. Mean and instantaneous vector fields for velocity, vorticity, and streamlines were measured at three visual planes and for two different flow angles of $15^{\circ}$. The results indicated that conical vortices occur when the wind is not perpendicular to the front edge. The location of the leading edge corresponding to the negative peak vorticity and maximum turbulent kinetic energy was found at the center of the conical vortex. The wind pressure reaches the maximum near the leading edge roof corner, and a triangle of severe suctions zone appears downstream. The mean pressure in uniform flow is greater than that under turbulent flow condition, while a significant increase in the fluctuating wind pressure occurs in turbulent streams. From its emergence to stability, the shape of the vortex cross-section is nearly elliptical, with increasing area. The angle that forms between the vortex axis and the leading edge is much smaller in turbulent streams. The detailed flow structures and characteristics obtained through FLUENT simulation are in agreement with the experimental results. The three dimensional (3-D) structure of the conical vortices is clearly observed from the comprehensive arrangement of several visual planes, and the inner link was established between the vortex evolution process, vortex core position and pressure distribution.

This paper presents a new strengthening method of underground box structures against seismic loads for anti-seismic capacity improvement. A threaded steel member with pressure devices(so called 'Pre-flexed member system') is used to improve seismic capacity of the RC box structure. The pre-flexed member system is fixed the corner of opening after chemical anchor was installed by drilling hole on the box structure. The structural performance was evaluated analytically. Two bracing types of strengthening methods were used; conventional bracing method and I-bracing pressure system. For the performance evaluation, seismic analyses were performed on moment and shear resisting structures with and without strength member system. Numerical results confirmed that the proposed pre-flexed member system can enhance the seismic capacity of the underground RC box structures.

During the rapid economic growth in Korea since the 1970s, many underground facilities were constructed such as under passes and railways. Seismic design has been mandated in 1988, but the structures built before 1988 were not reflected on the seismic design. Accordingly, these underground structures require effective seismic reinforcing methods to ensure safety when the earthquake happens. By these reasons, in this study, using the proposed pre-flexed members, RC box structure was analyzed for seismic reinforcement of the corner. This method is based on a principle that enlarging the resistance against the external force by installing the pre-flexed member to the box structure corner. To evaluate validity, a newly developed member with CornerSafe was compared with traditional type reinforcement using experiments and finite element analysis. In finite element mode, nonlinearity of steel was modeled based on J2 plasticity model and concrete was based on CEB FIP MODEL CODE 1990. Also, composite ratios of box and pre-flexed member were computed for design application. The reinforcement and box structure were analyzed under the bond condition completely attached by the tie, and the results of experiment and finite element analysis were same in the force-displacement curve.

AI7075 alloy has been used for aircraft components since it has the advantage of high strength, high toughness, and high corrosion resistance. Many airframe components consist of various combinations of rib-web structure. In this study, various process paramenters such as die design, lubricant, ram speed, forging temperature have been investigated using the experiment and F.E.M. simulation to develop the precision forging technology for AI7075. When lubricant is applied to both material and die, shear friction factor is 0.1 which shows best effect of lubricant. It is specific corner radius of die that minimized forging load regarding process conditions, especially according to the ratio of the width of rib and web. In conclusion, optimum corner radius is 2~3mm when the width of rib and web is 3mm and 20mm respectively.

We propose optical proximity corrections (OPCs) for digital micromirror device (DMD)-based maskless lithography. A pattern writing scheme is analyzed and a theoretical model for obtaining the dose distribution profile and resulting structure is derived. By using simulation based on this model we were able to reduce the edge placement error (EPE) between the design width and the critical dimension (CD) of a fabricated photoresist, which enables improvement of the CD. Moreover, by experiments carried out with the parameter derived from the writing scheme, we minimized the corner-rounding effect by controlling light transmission to the corners of a feature by modulating a DMD.

A 3D nonlinear finite element computation model is presented in order to analyze the concrete filled rectangular tubular (CFRT) composite structures. The concrete material model is based on a hypo-elastic orthotropic approach while the elasto-plastic hardening model is employed for steel element. The comparisons between experimental and analytical results show that the proposed model is a relatively simple and effective one. The analytical results show that the capacity of inner concrete of CFRT column mainly depends on the two diagonal zones, and the confining effect of CFRT section is mainly concentrated on the corner zones. At the ultimate state, the side concrete along the section cracks seriously, and the corner concrete softens with the increase of compressive strains until failure.
