The purpose of this study was to comparatively analyze the stress distribution according to the inclinations of abutments and angulations of the implant fixtures under occlusal loading force. Three study models with straight and $15^{\circ}$ and $25^{\circ}$-angled abutments were prepared following the insertion of Implants parallel to the long axis of the tooth. Additional two experimental models were fabricated with $15^{\circ}$ and $25^{\circ}$ fixture inclinations. Using ANSYS 11, a finite element analysis program, the magnitudes of stress distribution were analyzed. The magnitude of stress under loading was lowest when the load was applied vertically onto the axis of implant. And the magnitude of stress under compound(vertical+oblique) loading was increased as the inclination of implant abutment and fixture was increase. But, the distribution of stress was different as the loading conditions, because of the horizontal offset. As the offset between the axis of loading and the central axis of the implant increased, the stress was increased.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of a single batter pile with repeated lateral loading through model tests. Repeated loads were applied in one direction and two directions, and lateral resistance and bending moment were analyzed by varying the relative density of the ground. As a result, lateral resistance and maximum bending moment were increased in the order of Out batter, Plumb, and In batter when one-way and two-way dynamic lateral loads were applied. The depth at the maximum bending moment was more deeper with the loading. The moments at bottom layer were decreased in the order of Out batter, Plumb, and In batter but upper moments were increased with the same order. Also, various bottom and upper moments were small when the two-way dynamic lateral load was applied compared to one-way lateral load.

Trusses are widely used for wooden houses in the areas where wood construction in generalized for residential housings such as North America, Australian, New Zealand. In Korea, joist and rafter system is generally used because of the production cost, transportation cost and lack of experience required for truss manufacturing. In this study, roof trusses and flat trusses were manufactured by using oriented strand board (OSB) gusset plates for field assembly and tested under bending load to obtain the allowable loads. The allowable load and the actual load of 6m span roof trusses were 10.60 kN and 5.26 kN, respectively, which is regarded to be sufficient for use in construction. The allowable load and the actual load of 6m span floor flat trusses were 7.18 kN and 7.43 kN, respectively. For flat trusses, the allowable load is slightly lower than the actual load but the difference in very small, and it is thought that flat trusses can be used for construction by applying small change of structures and members.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the stress distribution in mandibular implant overdentures with telescopic crowns compared to bar attachment. Material and methods: Three-dimensional finite element models consisting of the mandibular bone, 4 implants, and primary bar-splinted superstructure or secondary splinted superstructure with telescopic crowns were created. Vertical and oblique loads were directed onto the occlusal areas of the superstructures to simulate the maximal intercuspal contacts and working contacts such as group function occlusion. Maximum stress and stress distribution were analysed in mandibular bone, implant abutments, and superstructures. Results: 1. In comparison of von Mises stress on mandibular bone, telescopic overdenture had a little lower stress values in vertical load and working side load except oblique load. In the mandible, the telescopic overdenture distributed more uniform stress than the bar overdenture. 2. In comparison of von Mises stress on implant abutments, telescopic overdenture had much lower stress values in all load conditions. In implant abutments, the telescopic overdenture distributed stress similar to the bar overdenture. Stress was concentrated on the distal surfaces of the posterior implant abutments in both mandibular overdentures. 3. In comparison of von Mises stress on superstructures, the telescopic overdenture had much more stress values in all load conditions. However, the telescopic overdenture distributed more uniform stress on superstructure than the bar overdenture. In the bar overdenture, stress was concentrated on each cental area of bar structures and connected area between implant abutments and bar structures. Conclusion: In the results of this study, the telescopic overdenture had lower stress values than the bar overdenture in mandibular bone and implant abutments, but more stress values in superstructures. However, if optimal material was selected in making superstructures, the telescopic overdenture was compared to the bar overdenture in stress distribution.

Structures such as bridge columns installed on the asymmetric ground such as mountain areas and sloping ground are subject to various loads such as wind, temperature, earthquake, and etc. The pile foundation is generally applied to bridge columns on the asymmetric ground in order to stably support structures. The behavior of the pile foundation supporting bridge columns changes due to various load conditions. In particular, ground-pile-structure interactions should be studied to analyze the behavior of the pile foundation that supports bridge columns effected by dynamic loads such as earthquakes. The pile foundation installed on the asymmetric ground effected by the earthquake has the complicated dynamic interaction between the foundation and the ground due to the ground slope, the difference in soil resistance according to the shaking direction, and the ground movements. In this study, the 1g shaking table tests were conducted to confirm the effect of the slope of the sloping ground on the dynamic behavior of group piles supporting the superstructure installed at the berm of the sloping sandy soil which is the asymmetric ground. The result shows that the acceleration of the pile cap and the superstructure decrease as the slope of the sloping ground increase, and the slope of the dynamic p-y curve of the pile decrease.

Load testis are executed on model reticulated root piles (RRP) to figure out the optimum slanting angle in the piles installation. One set of model RRP consists of 8 slanting piles which are installed in circular patterns forming two concentric circles, each of which is made by 4 piles. Each pile which is a steel bar of 5m in diameter and 300mm in length is coated to become a pile of 6.5mm in diameter. The slanting angle of the model RRP varies from 0$^{\circ}$ to 20$^{\circ}$ Comparing ultimate bearing capacities of the model RRP of different installation angles, it is observed that the ultimate capacities of the RRP increase as the installation angle increases until 15$^{\circ}$, and the optimum slanting angle of the RRP is around 15$^{\circ}$ The ultimate bearing capacity of the 15$^{\circ}$-RRP is found to be 22% bigger than that of the vertical RRP and 120% bigger than that of the circular surface footing whose diameter is same with the circle formed by outer root piles'heads. However, it is noticed that when the slanting angle of the RRP is increased over 15$^{\circ}$, the ultimate capacity starts to be reduced. The ultimate capacity of 20$^{\circ}$-RRP is even smaller than that of the vertical RRP by as much as 5%. From the observation of the load settlement curve obtained during the RRP load tests, it is known that as the slanting angle gets bigger the load -settlement behavior becomes more ductile.

고정체 나사산 형상이 식립된 고정체를 둘러싸고 있는 턱 뼈에서 발생된 응력분포에 미치는 영향과 효과적인 나사산 형상을 결정하기 위해서 다양한 치아 고정체 형상에 대해서 응력해석을 수행하였다. 나사산 골 한쪽 부위에 라운딩이 된 형상의 고정체에서 발생된 응력분포는 다른 나사산 형상의 고정체에서 발생된 응력분포보다 더 효과적으로 나타났다. 이 해석 결과를 근거로 최적의 고정체 치수를 결정하기 위해서 나사산 끝단의 폭, 나사산 높이, 그리고 가해지는 하중의 방향 등과 같은 설계 변수의 변화에 따른 응력해석이 수행되었다. 최대 응력 집중은 고정체 나사산의 첫단 부위에서 발생하였으며, 100 N의 15도 경사하중이 가해졌을 때 발생된 최대 등가응력은 동일 크기의 수식하중보다 2배 정도 더 높게 나타났다. 그리고 나사산 끝단의 폭과 나사산 높이 사이의 연관성에 관련된 해석결과에서 나사산 끝단의 폭과 나사산 높이 사이의 연관성 효과는 무시할 만큼 작다는 것을 알았다. 고정체의 나사산 피치에 대한 나사산 끝단의 폭의 비와 나사산 높이의 비가 각각 0.5와 0.46일 때 다른 고정체의 치수들보다 더 효과적인 응력분포가 나타났다

In order to evaluate the lateral behavior characteristics of single drilled shaft embedded in granite gneiss, a lateral load test was conducted in field. Horizontal displacement according to lateral load were measured along with the depth by an inclinometer installed in the shaft. In this study, We have evaluated horizontal displacement characteristics comparing the measurement values with calculating results by theoretical formula. Based on the comparison, the Chang's method was similar with the measurement values even though it was slightly underestimated. However, the finite analysis method and p-y method was overestimated, especially on the upper part of the ground.
