In this study, durability against chloride attack of seawater mixed concrete with different replacement ratio of BFS （blast furnace slag） and FA （fly ash） is discussed and the life time until the occurrence of corrosion crack is evaluated. The results show that： （1） Chloride penetration rate of seawater mixed specimens with BFS and FA is lower than that of freshwater mixed OPC （ordinary Portland cement） specimens; （2） Oxygen permeability of seawater mixed specimens with BFS and FA is almost the same or lower than that of freshwater mixed OPC specimens; （3） Total life time （corrosion incubation period and propagation period） of seawater mixed specimens with BFS and FA is almost the same or only slightly shorter than that of freshwater mixed OPC specimens. From the results, it was confirmed that the usage of seawater in concrete mixing is feasible in concrete with the appropriate BFS and FA replacement ratio.展开更多

Since the longitudinal acceleration/deceleration of EVs causes the discomfort of passengers, reducing such bad effect of acceleration/deceleration acting on passengers is very important for not only the ride comfort of passengers but also vehicle running safety. The proposed method is applying the general optimal control theory and it generates the speed pattern for improving the passenger ride quality based on evaluating the variations of acceleration and the jerk which is time derivative of the acceleration. The effectiveness of the present method is demonstrated through numerical experiments compared with some conventional methods.展开更多
