The modeling of uplift pressure within dam, on the foundation on which it was constructed, and on the interface between the dam and foundation is a critical aspect in the analysis of concrete gravity dams, i.e. crack stability in concrete dam can correctly be predicted when uplift pressures are accurately modelled. Current models consider a uniform uplift distribution, but recent experimental results show that it varies along the crack faces and the procedures for modeling uplift pressures are well established for the traditional hand-calculation methods, but this is not the case for finite element (FE) analysis. In large structures, such as dams, because of smaller size of the fracture process zone with respect to the structure size, limited errors should occur under the assumptions of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). In this paper, the fracture behaviour of concrete gravity dams mainly subjected to uplift Pressure at the crack face was studied. Triangular type, trapezoidal type and parabolic type distribution of the uplift pressure including uniform type were considered in case of evaluating stress intensity factor by surface integral method. The effects of body forces, overtopping pressures are also considered and a parametric study of gravity dams under the assumption of LEFM is performed.

Fissured rock and soft ground always suggest, problems in the construction of the underground space. The stress release of the weak underground material by opening the underground space with a soft ground, fissures and joints can lead to the failure of the opening. Grouting of the weak rock and the soft ground, which is a process of injecting some bonding agents into the soft ground, is one of the measures to reinforce the soft ground and to prohibit the failure of the underground construction due to the stress release. The proper installation of the grouting is essential to ensuring the safety of the tunneling operation, so that the evaluation of the grouting performance is very significant. The general procedure of evaluating the grouting is coring the grouted section and measuring the compression strength of the core. However, sometimes when the grouted section is at the crown of the tunnel and the grouting is installed at a wide section, the coring is not good enough. This study is oriented to propose a new and a non-destructive procedure of evaluating the grouting performance. The proposed method is based on the wave propagation of elastic waves, and evaluates the shear stiffness of the ground and investigates the anomalies such as voids and cracks. The SASW ( Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves) method is one of the candidate s to make the inspection of the pouting performance, and is adopted in this study. The practical grouting activity was monitored by SASW method, and the proposed method was applied to the inspection of the grouting performance to check the verification of the proposed method.

AlN 박막은 Al과 N원자의 부분적 이온결합 특성을 가진 공유결합을 한 육방정계의 wurtzite 경정구조의 화합물 반도체로서, III-V족 반도체 중 가장 큰 에너지 갭(6.2 eV), 결정 구조적 이방성, 화학 양론적 결합구조, 높은 탄성종과 전달속도(약 10$\times$106 m/s)와 높은 열전도도, 고온 안정성, 가시광성.적외선 영역에서의 좋은 투과성과 높은 굴절률, 상온 대기압에서의 유일하게 안정적인 특성을 가지고 있어, 절연재료, 내열재료, 저주파 영역 센서의 압전 트랜스듀서, 광전소자, 탄성파 소자 및 내환경 소자, MIS소자 등으로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 BAW 공진기의 활용을 목적으로 반응성 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 AIN 압전박막을 제작하여, 증착 조건-질소 농도, 고주파 출력, 전체 스퍼터링 압력, 기판 온도-에 대한 박막의 특성을 조사하였다. AlN 박막의 c축 우선 방위 결정성 및 낮은 투과성, 적당한 굴절률의 특성이 BAW 공진기의 활용을 위한 요건이므로, 각각의 증착 조건하에 제작된 박막은 XRD의 $\theta$/2$\theta$ 스캔 회절상에 의한 결정성의 분석과 우선 성장 결정면의 rocking curve 및 XRD로 측정한 FWHM과 표준 편차로 결정성의 배열성과 소자 응용가능성을 조사하였다. 박막의 표면.단면 미세 구조 및 평활도는 SEM으로 관찰하였으며, Al-N 결합 상태는 XPS와 FT-IR로 분석 조사하였다. 제작된 AlN 박막의 결정성 분석 결과, c축 우선 방위 성장을 위한 스퍼터링 압력에 대한 임계 질소 농도와 임계 스퍼터링 압력이 관찰되었다. 전체 스퍼터링 압력이 6~8 mTorr의 범위에서 나타난 최소 임계질소 농도는 10%, 최대 임계 질소 농도는 60%이며, 4 m Torr 이하 10 m Torr 이상의 전체 스퍼터링 압력에서 박막의 우선 방위성장이 제재된다. 이는 AlN 박막이 형성에 관여하는 질소 이온 양의 충분한 형성에 필요로 하는 질소 가스의 유입량에 따른 것으로 판단된다. AlN 박막의 c축 결정면인 (002) 결정면의 성장을 유도하며 다른 방향으로의 성장을 제어하여 소자 활용에 유용한 박막을 제작하기 위한 고주파 출력은 300W 정도가 적당하며, 기판을 가열하지 않았을 때 낮은 투과도를 나타낸다. 본 연구에 의한 BAW 공진기 활용을 위한 AlN 압전박막의 제작을 위한 최적 증착 조건은 기판의 가열 없이 6~8 mTorr의 전체 스퍼터링 압력에 20~25%의 질소종도, 300W의 고주파 출력이다. 최적 조건에서의 AlN 박막은 약 0.19$^{\circ}$의 FWHM과 약 0.08$^{\circ}$의 표준편차를 가지며, 균일하고 조밀한 표면 미세구조와 주상정 구조의 측면구조, 파장에 대한 약 2.0의 굴절률, 낮은 투과도와 화학 양론적 구조를 가지는 우수한 박막이 형성되었다.

This study is focused on the analysis of tunnel behavior to estimate the stability on tunnel design. An estimation method was proposed as a hybrid consideration, which contains the displacement analysis by 3D numerical simulation, the maximum displacement obtained after field measurement, and an assessment of tunnel stability using a deformation analysis proposed by Sakurai(1988, 1997). The points of case study by Sakurai(1988, 1997) were replotted considering his analysis. From the new analysis of the tunnel case study, the trend line for analyzed points is analogized, which curve is divided into stable, unstable and failure zone. To evaluate the estimation method, a special shape of railway tunnel was selected, which are the Inchon international airport rail way connected to subway line 9 in Gimpo, Korea. The point s of upper and below track on the Inchon international airport rail way were satisfied to the stability of tunnel after reinforcing. Also the points shows the higher apparent Young's modulus, which resulted from improvement on shear strength by the micro silica grouting and the supporting of umbrella method. Therefore, if new analysis used, proper tunnel reinforcing method could be selected according to tunnel strain and geological property.

Process of recognizing objects in binary images consists of image segmentation and pattern matching. If binary objects in the image are assumed to be separated, global features such as area, length of perimeter, or the ratio of the two can be used to recognize the objects in the image. However, if such an assumption is not valid, the global features can not be used but local features such as points or line segments should be used to recognize the objects. In this paper points with large curvature along the perimeter are chosen to be the feature points, and pairs of points selected from them are used as local features. Similarity of two local features are defined using elastic deformation energy for making the lengths and angles between gradient vectors at the end points same. Neighbour support value is defined and used for robust recognition of partially occluded binary objects. An experiment on Kimia-25 data showed that the proposed algorithm runs 4.5 times faster than the maximum clique algorithm with same recognition rate.

점적 호스 중 PC 드립은 경질 호스의 내부에 Micro-path가 부착된 유로장치와 압력을 보상하는 연질의 실리콘으로 구성되어 있다. 이때 일정압력에서 적정 길이까지 동시에 내부 압력을 유지하며 균등하게 유출구를 통하여 유량을 공급하는 압력보상 기능이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 이 부분에 대한 기술은 선진국에 비해 아직 부족하여 수입에 의존하는 경향이 매우 높다. 뿐만 아니라 선진국 제품에 비해 유로장치 및 연질 실리콘의 탄성이 균일하지 못해 압력에 따른 유량의 편차가 큰 편이다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 제품의 PC 드립 압력 균등성 기술을 향상시키기 위해 PC 드립의 핵심기술인 연질 실리콘의 성능에 대한 평가와 유량의 편차를 분석하여 문제점을 통한 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연질 실리콘의 규격은 $17{\times}8{\times}0.85mm$ (가로${\times}$세로${\times}$두께)로서 Water line의 내부에 결합되어 구성된다. PC 드립용 실리콘은 국내 A사 제품을 중심으로 하여 성능을 측정하였다. 측정을 정밀하게 하기 위해 Microtester를 사용하여 일정하게 하중이 부과되도록 하였다. 연질의 실리콘의 경도는 압력 보상에 중요한 기능을 하고 있으며 또한 PC 드립의 경질 미로와 같이 압력을 제어하는 역할을 하고 있다. 국내 A사의 실리콘 경도는 이상적인 실리콘 경도에 비하면 매우 불균일하였다. 세부적으로는 40 이하의 낮은 경도에서는 비교적 일치하였으나 경도 45 이상에서는 큰 차이를 보여주고 있었다. 국내 A사의 실리콘 경도에 따른 공급유량의 특성에서는 실리콘의 경도가 낮을수록 실리콘은 무르며 탄성이 줄어든다. 반면에 경도가 높을수록 탄성이 커지고 딱딱한 특성을 가진다. 동일한 PC 드립에 실리콘의 경도별 특성은 경도에 따른 유량이 반드시 일정하지 않으며 대체로 경도가 높을수록 동일 압력에 대해 유량이 많아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 압력의 변화에 대해 유량이 일정하게 유지하는 특성을 가질수록 사용범위가 넓어지고 안정성이 높은 것으로 판단되며 실리콘 경도 35~55 범위에서 1~2bar의 공급압력에서 사용하는 것이 적합할 것으로 보여진다. 경도 45의 실리콘을 사용하여 수입 드립, 국내 A사의 드립 및 수입과 국내 혼용시 압력에 따른 공급유량의 특성을 분석하였다. 최대 유량과 최소 유량에서 발생되는 오차는 수입 실리콘이 비교적 작았으나 3.6 bar 이상에서는 유량이 급격히 떨어지는 양상을 보였다. 국내 A사의 제품은 0.8~2.0 bar 까지 성능이 비슷했으나 0.8 bar 이하에서는 오차가 있었으나 높은 압력에서는 오히려 성능이 우수하였다. 수입 드립과 다소 유사한 성능을 나타낸 것이 A사 드립과 수입 실리콘을 혼용하여 사용한 것은 전체적으로 비슷한 양상을 나타내었다. 따라서 실리콘 경도 오차를 고려하면 압력별 유량의 변화는 실리콘의 경도와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

The test results from three one fourth scale models using high strength Reinforced Concrete $f_x=704\;kg/cm^2,\;f_y=5.830\;kg/cm^2$ are presented. Such specimens are considered to represent the critical 3 storics of 60-story tall building of a structural wall system in area of high seismicity respectively. They are tested under inplane vertical and horizontal loading. The main varlable is the level of axial stress. The amounts of vertical and horizontal reinforcement are identical for the three walls testcd. The cross-section of all walls is barbell shape. The aspectratio($h_w/I_w$) of test specimen is 1.8. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of levels of applied axial stresses on the inelastic behavior of high-strength R /C tall walls. Experimental results of high strength R /C tall walls subjected to axial load and simulated sels rnic loading show that it is possible to insure a ductlle dominant performance by promotmg flex ural yielding of vertical reinforcement and that axial stresses within $O.21f_x$ causes an increase in horizontal load-carrying capacity, initial secant st~ffness characteristics, but an decrease in displacement ductility. energy dissipation index and work damage index of high strength K /C tall walls

In this study, the cellular protective effect of isoquercitrin against $H_2O_2$ and rose bengal-indued HaCaT cell damage was investigated. The ethosome and elastic liposome for enhanced transdermal delivery were prepared. Particle size, loading efficiency and cumulative permeated amounts of them were evaluated. Isoquercitrin didn't show any characteristic cytotoxicity at 50 ${\mu}M$. When HaCaT cells were treated with 5 mM $H_2O_2$ and 25 ${\mu}M$ rose bengal, isoquercitrin protected the cells against the oxidative damage in a concentration dependent manner (6.25 ~ 50 ${\mu}M$). The size of 0.03 % isoquercitrin loaded ethosome was 222.85 nm and the loading efficiency was 82.26 %. The ethosome loaded with 0.03 % isoquercitrin was stable and maintained the constant particle size for 2 weeks after being prepared. The ethosome exhibited more enhanced skin permeability than general liposome and ethanol solution. The optimal ratio of lipid to surfactant of 0.1 % isoquercitrin loaded elastic liposomes was observed to be 89 : 5 through evaluating particle size (341.2 nm), deformability index (59.89), loading efficiency (54.3 %), and skin permeability (54.4 %).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of digitized elastomeric impression materials of crown abutment, using non-contact white light scanner and virtual three-dimensional superimpositional analysis. The stone models and impressions were digitized white light scanner to create three-dimensional surface models. Stone models were used as CAD reference model (CRM). The resulting point clouds (ASC file) from digitization of impressions using converting software. Discrepancies between the points in the point clouds and CRM were measured by superimpositional software. Mean and standard deviation of values of discrepancies were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and multiple comparison (${\alpha}=0.05$). The mean discrepancy between the impressions for the extra-light body (XLB), light body (LB), and heavy body (HB) group were $5.10{\pm}1.45{\mu}m$, $6.30{\pm}1.87{\mu}m$, $9.80{\pm}1.52{\mu}m$, respectively. The different impression materials affected the digitization of impressions significantly (p<0.05). As a result, digitization of elastomeric impression materials on dental scanner was influenced by material sort.

The geotechnical characteristics of frozen ground is one of the key design issues for the construction of infrastructure in cold region. In this study, the dynamic properties (shear modulus and damping ratio) of frozen and unfrozen soils sampled from Terra Nova Bay located in eastern Antarctica, where Jang Bogo station was built, were investigated using Stokoe-type resonant column test (RC). In order to freeze the reconstituted soil specimen, the RC testing equipment was modified by adding a cooling system. A series of resonant column tests were performed in frozen and unfrozen soils with various soil densities and temperatures. The shear modulus (G) and damping ratio (D) of soil frozen at $-7^{\circ}C$ were compared with those of unfrozen soil. In addition, the effect of temperature rise on the maximum shear modulus ($G_{max}$) and damping ratio was experimentally investigated. This study has significance in that the difference of dynamic soil properties between frozen and unfrozen soils and the effect of temperature rise on frozen soil were identified.
