To perform on-line maintenance for Distributed Information System, it is indispensable to disseminate files to participant nodes in the network. When users' requests for file deployment occur simultaneously in a short period a deployment server falls into overload phase, which is often called Flash Crowds. h common solution to avoid Flash Crowds is to increase hardware capacity. In this paper, we propose a software solution based on P2P, which does not cost any additional expense. In the proposed solution, nodes in the network are grouped into subnetworks one of which is composed of only neighboring nodes. In each subnetwork, copies of deployment files can be transferred to each other. Consequently, it brings about the effect of load balancing in deployment server. To raise the effectiveness, target files for deployment are packed into one package. Before being transferred, each package is divided into multiple equal-sized segments. A deployment server in a normal phase transmits a package requested from nodes in segment units. However a deployment server is overloaded, if segments already exist in the subnetwork participant nodes in the subnetwork receive necessary segments from neighboring nodes. In this paper, we propose data structures and algorithm for this approach and show performance improvement through simulation.

This paper presents a PC cluster-based distributed video on demand (VOD) server that minimizes the load of the interconnection network by adopting channel bonding-based MVIA and the interval cache algorithm Video data is distributed to the disks of each server node of the distributed VOD server and each server node receives the data through the interconnection network and sends it to clients. The load of the interconnection network increases because of the large volume of video data transferred. We adopt two techniques to reduce the load of the interconnection network. First, an Msupporting channel bonding technique is adopted for the interconnection network. n which is a user-level communication protocol that reduces the overhead of the TCP/IP protocol in cluster systems, minimizes the time spent in communicating. We increase the bandwidth of the interconnection network using the channel bonding technique with MThe channel bonding technique expands the bandwidth by sending data concurrently through multiple network cards. Second, the interval cache reduces traffic on the interconnection network by caching the video data transferred from the remote disks in main memory Experiments using the distributed VOD server of this paper showed a maximum performance improvement of $30\%$ compared with a distributed VOD server without channel bonding-based MVIA and the interval cache, when used with a four-node PC cluster.

In completely weathered granite gneiss,8 of 40cm cast-in-situ concrete piles are constructed, and static pile load tests are executed on the piles to study the bearing behavior of rock-socketed piles. Subsurface explorations are carried out on the test site in three phases, in which 14 borehole investigations as well as the seismic investigation are performed. Rock socketd depths of the piles in the weathered rocks are varied as 3m, 6m and 9m to separate the shaft resistance from the end bearing resistance, and for a couple of piles, styrofoam of 10cm thickness is installed under the pile point to eliminate the effect of the end resistance. Strain gages are instrumented on re-bars to pick-up the transferred loads along the pile length. From the results of the pile load tests, the allowable shaft resistance and the allowable end bearing values of weathered rocks are proposed as $8.6t/m^2\;and\; 84t/m^2$, respectively. The empirical equation relating the elastic modulus of rock mass with the uniaxial compressive strength of the rock specimen is also proposed for the weathered rocks.

Loads applied on the floor are transferred through beams to columns. The beams can be designed as both end fixed or simple beams. The load bearing capacity of a beam depends on each boundary condition. However, when the load bearing capacity of a beam is evaluated in fire tests, all kinds of beams are tested using simple beam conditions. In this study, an analytical method performed using heat transfer theory and heat stress analysis based on the mechanical and thermal properties of SS-400 steel at high temperature. This method was used to clarify the differences between the two types of boundary conditions at normal and high temperature. The results show that the load bearing capacity of a both-end fixed beam at high temperature is superior to that of a simple beam. Therefore, the application of simple beam conditions in fire tests for evaluation of load bearing capacity is conservatively safe compared to fixed boundary conditions.

Experimental study was performed to understand the real operation conditions of a showcase working usually in a convenient store and discount store. The purpose of this study was to show the possibility for practical use of cold-heat storage systems being operated for the showcase. To do that, evaporator and condenser temperatures were measured and the compressor electric power consumption were measured simultaneously. To use the ice storage system, the ice making process was typically operated during midnight being not needed the cooling of the showcase through the continuous running of the condenser unit. And then, the refrigerant was subcooled using the stored cold-heat after being discharged from the condenser during daytime. So, the cooling performance was increased with the sub-cooling of refrigerant during daytime,hence the actual running time of the compressor could be effectively decreased. Through the experiments, this study showed that the compressor electric power consumption during daytime could be transferred to nighttime for applying the refrigerant sub-cooling. So, for the convenient store, the maximum load transfer rates for each working cooler and showcase were estimated about 31.1% and 19.9% respectively. And for the discount store, the maximum load transfer rates for each refrigeration and freezing showcase were estimated about 34.1% and 49.0% respectively.

The RC corbels with the ratio of shear span-to-effective depth less than 1 are commonly used to transfer loads from beams to columns. The ultimate strengths and structural behaviors of RC corbels are controlled by the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, strength of concrete, shape and quantity of the reinforcement, and geometry of corbels. In this study, a simple indeterminate strut-tie model reflecting all characteristics of the ultimate strengths and complicated structural behaviors is presented for the design of RC corbels. In addition, a load distribution ratio, defined as a magnitude of load transferred by a horizontal truss mechanism, is proposed to help structural designers perform the design of RC corbels by using the strut-tie model approaches of current design codes. The ultimate strengths of 30 RC corbels tested to failure are evaluated by using the ACI 318-05's strut-tie model code for the validity check of the proposed indeterminate strut-tie model and load distribution ratio.

In this study, the shock resistance of a gas turbine package subjected to a shock load caused by non-contact underwater explosion was investigated using numerical analysis. To perform shock analysis, the time-history shock load was calculated according to BV-043 (German Navy Regulation). The direct transient response analysis in the time domain for the simplified Whole Engine Model (WEM) was performed using the calculated shock load. In addition, the structural integrity of a detailed model was evaluated by considering the shock load transferred to each component. As a result, it was confirmed that the safety factor was at least 1.0 as compared with the reference stress. Finally, the structural and functional integrity of the Engine Management System (EMS) of the gas turbine package was verified through an actual shock test.

In a dynamic load distribution policies, each node gathers the current system sates information before making a decision on load balancing. Load balancing policies based on this strategy can suffer from processor thrashing. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm which attempts to decrease the frequency of the processor thrashing, the algorithm is based on the integration of three components. The first, the algorithm of which determine the size of jobs be transferred. The second, negotiation protocol with obtains a mutual agreement between a sender and a receiver on the transferring job size. And the third, a symmetrically-initiated location policy. The algorithm proposed in this paper used Siman IV as simulation tool to prove the improvement of performance. I analyzed the result of simulation, and compared with related works. The mean response time shows that there are no difference with existing policy, but appear a outstanding improvement in high load. The thrashing coefficient that shows the average response time, CPU overhead and the thrashing ratio at both the receiving and sending node has been used in the analysis. A significant improvement in the average response time and the CPU overhead ratio was detected using our algorithm when an overhead occurred in the system over other algorithm. The thrashing coefficient differed in the sending node and the receiving node of the system. Using our algorithm, the thrashing coefficient at the sending node showed more improvement when there was an overhead in the system, proving to be more useful. Therefore, it can be concluded that the thrashing ratio can be reduce by properly setting the maximum and minimum value of the system’s threshold queue.

Currently, the load transfer's mechanism from a beam to a column has yet to ve clarified in a concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) structure with a connection type of an exterior diaphragm. The loads for each floor are transferred to the concrete core from a steel beam through ha contacted face between an in-filled concrete and the interior surface of a steel tube. Thus, a Push-Out test was performed to investigate the load transfer mechanism. A total of 30 samples were tested to confirm the bond stress and/or axial load distribution between a steel tube and in-filled concrete for CFT column. The main parameters considered for this study included concrete type, steel tube-shape/length, and the effect of a weld joint wit ha backing strip for a column splice. Test results were summarized to confirm load transfer behavior between a concrete and steel tube for each experimental parameter, using the analytical approach to verify experimental results.

A series of model tests were performed to investigate the load transfer by soil arching in geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported(GRPS) embankment systems. In the model tests, model piles with isolated cap were inserted in the model container and geosynthetics was laid on the pile caps below sand fills. The settlement of soft ground was simulated by rubber form. The loads acting on pile caps and the tensile strain of geosynthetics were monitored by data logging system. At the given interval ratio of pile caps, the efficiency in GRPS embankment systems increased with increasing the height of embankment fills, then gradually converged at constant value. Also, at the given height of embankment fills, the efficiency decreased with increasing the pile spacing. The embankment loads transferred on pile cap by soil arching increased when the geosynthetics installed with piles. This illustrated that reinforcing with the geosynthetics have a good effect to restraint the movement of surrounding soft grounds. The load transfer in GRPS embankment systems was affected by the interval ratio, height of fills, properties of grounds and tensile stiffness and so on.
