In this study, the compressive behavior of a 1/12.5 scale model of a wind tower support structure connection was experimentally analyzed. A high-performance cementitious grout with a compressive strength of 140 MPa was used to fill the connection, and experiments were conducted with shear key spacing, the shape, and connection length as variables. When the number of shear keys in the connection is the same, the smaller the spacing of the shear keys than the length of the connection, the higher the shear strength, and for the same spacing and connection length, the higher the height of the shear keys, the higher the strength. In addition, it was found that the strength showed a linear behaviour until the connection slip reached 1.0 mm, and it reached the maximum strength at 7.0 mm connection slip showing a non-linear behaviour as the load increased. It was found that the failure mode changed from interfacial shear failure to grout failure as the strength increased according to the shape and spacing of the shear key, and brittle failure did not occur due to steel fibers.

The elastic buckling strength of a corrugated pipe made of orthotropic material was evaluated. The height and length of a corrugated wave and the thickness of the pipe were considered as factors affecting the buckling strength of the pipe. And also, the ratio of the longitudinal stiffness and transverse stiffness were considered as parameters affecting on the buckling strength of a pipe made of orthotropic material. Buckling strengths of various corrugated pipes with different shapes and stiffness ratio were evaluated by FE analyses. And a formula to estimate the elastic buckling strength was suggested by regression of FE analysis results. Analysis results show that a corrugated pipe has superior buckling strength to a general flat pipe and the suggested formula estimates accurate buckling strength of the corrugated pipe made of orthotropic material.

Statement of problem: The clinical use of electric and electomagnetic fields for fracture healing applications began in the early 1970s. Since then, several technologies have been developed and shown to promote healing of fractures. Developments of these devices have been aided in recent years by basic research and several well controlled clinical trials not only in the medical field but in dentistry. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare alveolar bone reduction following immediate implantation using implants onto which magnets were attached in fresh extracted sockets. Material and methods: Four mongrel dogs were involved. Full buccal and lingual mucoperiosteal flaps were elevated and third and fourth premolars of the mandible were removed. Implants with magnets and implants without magnets were installed in the fresh extracted sockets and after 3 months of healing the animals were sacrificed. The mandibles were dissected and each implant sites were sampled and processed for histological examination. Results: The marginal gaps that were present between the implant and walls of the sockets at the implantation stage disappeared in both groups as a result of bone fill and resorption of the bone crest. The buccal bone crests were located apical of its lingual counterparts. At the 12 week interval the mean of marginal bone resorption in the control group was significantly higher than that of the magnet group. The majority of specimens in magnet group presented early bone formation and less resorption of the buccal marginal bone compared to the control group. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it could be concluded that implants with magnets attached in the early stages of implantation may provide more favorable conditions for early bone formation and reduce resorption and remodeling of marginal bone.

Lateral bracing has long been used in design practice to enhance the carrying capacity of the lateral buckling of the beam. Many factors, critically important to lateral bracing performance, do not appear in design formulas. Some of these factors are discussed in this study for the application to short I - beams under repeated loadings through parametric studies with an analytical model : the brace location along the length of the beam, the height of the bracing above the shear center of the beam, and the strength and stiffness of the brace. The parametric studies are carried out using a propped cantilever arrangement, and also using a geometrically (fully) nonlinear beam model for the brace as well as the beam to capture the system buckling. An idealized bracing system is configured to restrain lateral motion, but not rotation. A multiaxial cyclic plasticity model is also implemented to better represent cyclic metal plasticity in conjunction with a consistent return mapping algorithm.

This study provides a method and data for predicting the flight initiation wind speed of wind-borne debris. From the force equilibrium acting on debris including aerodynamic and inertia forces, the equation for predicting the flight initiation wind speeds are presented. Wind tunnel tests were carried out to provide necessary aerodynamic data in the equation for the debris with various aspect ratios. The proposed equation for flight initiation wind speeds was validated from free flying tests in the wind tunnel. The flights of debris were mostly initiated by slip when width to thickness was less than 10, otherwise overturning were dominant. The actual flight initiation speeds were lower than that of the computed ones. The surface boundary layer flow and the gap between the debris and surface might affect the prediction error.

Recently the construction of residential buildings faces many difficulties due to the shortage of building materials and works. Simplifying the stage of processing and assembling reinforcing rods and increasing the efficiency of them in reinforced concrete construction can be used to settle the difficulties. In the respect, structural wire-fabric and loop wire-fabric is utilized. The purpose of this study, on condition of being $210kg/cm^2$ concrete strength, is to analyze the structural and flexural properties of one-way concrete slabs by testing with different reinforcing type, tensile steel ratio based with minimum steel ratio, boundary condition and splice length which affect the maximum width of crack and ductility factor. From the test results, the ductility factor is approved that the slabs using deformed bar were much better than that using wire-fabric, and 30D of splice length was appropriate in the slabs as splice length. In the control of the maximum crack width the slabs using wire-fabric and loop wire-fabric were much better than that using deformed bar.

Brick wall models with window opening, length 1.844m $\times$ height 0.6m, representing 2-story building was constructed on a scale of 1/10 of actual size of brick building for the investigation of damage mechanism. Six settlement troughs presenting six stages of excavation were simulated by Peck(1969) and O'Rourke et al.(1976) methods. The results from the model tests using Peck(1969) and O'Rourke et al.(1976) method indicated that angular distortion of brick wall by O'Rourke et at. method was 21% greater than that of Peck method. Horizontal displacement by O'Rourke et al.(1976) was 24% greater than that of Peck. When the degree of building damage for the O'Rourke et al. method of settlement trough is plotted on the damage level graph(Boscardin & Cording, 1989), damage level becomes much more severe than the level obtained by peck's method. Also, building stiffness and soil-structure interface are considered important factors of expressing building damage.

This paper introduces the design of a bridge transport system with a telescopic tube for positioning equipment to perform remote handling tasks in a radioactive facility. It consists of an extensible and retractable telescopic tube assembly for z-direction motion, a cabling system for management of power and signal cables, and a trolley system for transverse motion and accommodating servo drives. The working environment for the bridge transport system with the telescopic tube requires strict geometrical constraints, including a short height, short telescopic tube length when retracted, and a long stroke. These constraints were met by solving a nonlinear programming problem involving the optimal dimensions. This paper introduces a cabling system for effective management of cables with changeable lengths to accommodate telescopic motions and a selection guide for servo drives that are sufficient to drive the system.

자연하천에서 식생의 성장은 유속 및 수위 변화에 중요한 영향을 미치며, 따라서 식생으로 인한 흐름저항은 흐름과 유사이송 모델링을 위한 중요 매개 변수가 된다. 즉, 수치 모델을 활용함에 있어 식생의 흐름 저항을 정확하게 추정하는 것이 매우 중요하며, 보다 정확한 추정을 위해 실험 혹은 현장 데이터를 활용한 보정과정이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 식생 패치를 포함한 인공 수로의 흐름 모의를 위해 실규모 실험 수로에서 측정된 유속 및 수위 데이터를 활용하여 모델보정을 수행하고자 한다. 이를 위해 공간 분포 별로 각기 다른 흐름 저항식의 적용이 가능하며, 식생 저항 공식을 포함하고 있는 Delft3D 모델을 활용하였다. 또한 실규모 수로에서의 유속 및 수위 데이터 수집을 위해 한국건설기술연구원 하천연구센터에서 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 구간의 길이는 약 120 m이고 하폭은 11 m이며, 국내 하천에서 보이는 식생패치의 유사한 형태를 재현하기 위해 하천 내 가장 많이 활착되어있는 버드나무와 유사한 형태의 인공식생을 제작하였다. 인공 식생은 지그재그로 배치되었으며, 식생의 전체 높이는 1.1 m이고, 각 패치 당 23그루의 인공 식생이 총 8개 패치에 식재되었다. 모의 조건은 상류단 유입 유량 2.805 ㎥/s, 하류단수위 98.764 m의 정류 조건을 적용하였다. 또한 식생 패치 구간에서의 흐름 저항 추정을 위해 Delft3D 모델 내에서 선택가능 한 Baptist의 비침수(Non-submerged)식을 적용하였으며, 항력계수 결정을 위해 1과 1.5를 적용하여 측정 수위와 비교하였다. Delft3D의 흐름 모의 결과, 항력계수 1.5를 적용했을 때, 측정 수위와 거의 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, 항력계수 1.0을 적용했을 경우, 측정 수위에 비해 다소 낮게 모의되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 항력계수 1.5인 경우 식생 패치 구간에서 평균 0.65 m/s의 유속이 발생하였다.
