Previous test results showed that the current ASTM(American Standard for Testing and Materials) grip adapter for GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebar was not fully successful in developing the design tensile strength of GFRP rebars with reasonable accuracy. It is because the current ASTM grip adapter which is composed of a pair of rectangular metal blocks of which inner faces are grooved along the longitudinal direction does not take into account the various geometric characteristics of GFRP rebar such as surface treatment, shape of bar cross section as well as physical characteristics such as poisson effect, elastic modulus in the transverse direction and so on. The objective of this paper is to provide how to proportion the optimum diameter of inner groove in ASTM grip adapter to develop design tensile strength of GFRP rebar. The proportioning of inner groove in ASTM grip adapter is based on the force equilibrium of GFRP rebar between tensile capacity and minimum frictional resistance required along the grip adapter. The frictional resistance of grip adapter is calculated based on the compressive strain compatibility in radial direction induced by the difference between diameter of GFRP rebar and inner groove In ASTM grip. All testing procedures were made according to the CSA S806-02 recommendations. From the preliminary test results on round-type GFRP rebars, it was found that maximum tensile loads acquired under the same testing conditions is highly affected by the diameter of inner groove in ASTM grip adapter. The grip adapter with specific dimension proportioned by proposed method recorded the highest tensile strength among them.

Myofascial pain is a condition associated with regional pain and muscle tenderness characterized by the presence of myofascial trigger points. In this case report, a subject complaining of nighttime bruxism was clinically assessed, and a latent trigger point of the anterior temporalis muscle was identified with manual palpation. A surface electromyographic (SEMG) exam of the anterior temporalis muscle harboring the latent trigger point demonstrated several SEMG features, including post-contraction irritability, delayed relaxation following contraction and accelerated muscle fatigue. It was concluded that a SEMG exam may detect abnormal masticatory muscle function and, therefore, assist in the evaluation of myogenous temporomandibular disorders.

For reinforced concrete members, bond strength is one of the important factors between the two materials: the concrete and the reinforcing element. The bond strength of Aramid Fiber Reinforced Polymer (AFRP) rebar was tested using the pull-out method. Presented were comparison results of the bond strength between AFRP rebar and deformed steel bars from the test. Embedded lengths and diameters of the rebar were taken into account as parameters. The bond stress-slip responses and failure modes of AFRP rebar were evaluated. It was found that the bond stress-slip responses of AFRP rebar were similar to those of deformed steel bars. As the diameter of rebar increased, the pull-out load increased. In addition, it was shown that the bond strength of an AFRP rebar was approximately 54% compared with that of a deformed steel bar.

전단거동에 의해 지배되는 고강도 철근콘크리트 춤이 큰 보의 전단역학적 거동 및 전단강도특성을 고려한 이론식을 제시하고자 소성이론에 근거한 극한해석에서 상계치정리를 이용하여 이론적 전개를 하였으며, 고강도 R/C춤이 큰 보의 전단응력에 영향을 미치는 콘크리트 압축강도, 수직전단보강근 및 수평잔단보강근의 보강효과를 고려한 이론식을 제시하였으며, 수평철근 즉 주인장철근 및 수평전단보강근의 장부작용을 고려하였다. 실험결과와 비교할 때 제안식은 수직잔단보강근의 전단보강효과를 과대평가하고있으며, 수평전단보강근의 효과를 적절하게 평가하고 있음을 나타내었다. 또 전단스팬비가 0.5, 0.85인 경우에는 제안식에 의한 값이 다소 낮게 나타내, 전단스팬비가 낮은 경우는 다소 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 산업사회의 급속한 환경변화는 근로자의 상병구조에서도 나타나 작업이 단순반복화 되며 다양한 작업공구를 반복적으로 사용하게 되어 작업속도와 작업량이 많아지고 운동부족으로 인한 근력의 약화 등에 의해서 근골격계질환이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 이로 인한 근로자의 삶의 질은 물론 결근에 의한 노동력 손실, 제품불량 증가, 산재보상비용 지출증가 등으로 성장을 둔화시키고 사회$.$경제적으로 문제의 심각성을 더해주고 있다. 최근 노동부가 발표한 산업재해통계를 보면 2002년도 산업재해 중 업무상질병자는 5,417명으로 전년대비 136명 감소하였으나, 이중 직업성 근골격계질 환자(신체부담작업 및 요통)는 1,827명으로 전년대비 193명(11.8%) 증가한 것으로 나타났고, 그 발생양상이 집단적이라는 특성을 갖고 있다. 이처럼 직업성 근골격계질환의 업무상 질병에서 차지하는 비율이 증가추세에 있고 대부분의 선진국에서도 과거에는 각종 화학물질에 의한 직업병이 상위를 차지해 오다가 근래에는 동 질환이 업무상질병의 상당부분 이상으로 차지하고 있다. 미국의 경우 1998년 한해동안 253,300건(64.2%) 발생하였고 이 가운데 자동차 관련업종이 가장 많은 비율을 점유하고 있다.(중략)

The repair technique of rotator cuff tear has been markedly developed in recent years. When the natural history of rotator cuff tear was followed, the size of rotator cuff tear increased with time. The fatty infiltration which would come at the later period of rotator cuff tear and the rotator cuff tear arthropathy which would be occurred after massive rotator cuff tear may be the important factors in predicting the prognosis of rotator cuff tear or determining the timing of surgery. Because moderate supraspinatus fatty infiltration appeared an average of 3 years after onset of symptoms, the repair of rotator cuff tear was recommended to be performed before that. And if there was massive rotator cuff tear with cuff tear arthropathy, it was recommended that the rotator cuff repair should be performed before the occurrence of the narrowing of acromiohumeral interval. The techniques of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were mainly the single row repair and the double row repair. The former is good in view of time consuming and cost, but the latter is superior in view of biomechanics. To maintain the benefit in biomechanics of double row technique and reduce the time of surgery, the suture-bridge technique was invented and widely used recently. There are several modified techniques in arthroscopic suture-bridge technique according to the characteristics of rotator cuff tear.

In this paper, the structural properties of the existing reinforced concrete(RC) piers are surveyed and the major factors influencing the member strength and deformation capacity are identified. Also a seismic evaluation procedure of RC piers is presented. The factors controlling the member strength are the applied axial load, the reinforcement ratio and yield strength of longitudinal rebar for flexural strength, and the transverse reinforcement for shear strength. Member deformation capacity largely depends on transverse reinforcement ratio and anchor detail, and splice location of longitudinal reinforcement. The above structural detail should be investigated for the detail seismic evaluation of RC piers. The most of existing RC piers have inadequate transverse reinforcement anchor details and the splices of longitudinal reinforcement in the pier bottom where plastic hinges are formed after yielding. Therefore the deformation capacity is not enough for the ductile flexural behavior of the RC piers. The presented evaluation procedure can be used for the rational decisions as to seismic retrofitting of the existing RC piers.

Recently, forest damage has occurred often and made big issues. Among them, the damage by forest fire is not only damage of itself but also being connected with secondary damage like a flood. This is the fact that a forest fire is caused rather artificially by people than nature. In this study, we try to investigate damage of a forest fire through spectral reflectance of a plant community surveyed using a near infrared CCD camera and a SPM (Spectral Radiometer) as advanced work to use satellite image data. That is, damage of a forest fire by the naked eye observation was divided into the No damage, the light damage, the serious damage and we estimated activity of forest and grasped revival possibility of forest. Through correlation analysis between the spectral reflectance by SPM and the near infrared CCD camera, we could get high correlation in the No damage and light damage. Therefore, when we surveyed damage of a forest fire, we could grasp damage, that is hardly observed by the naked eye by, using jointly the spectral radiometer and the near infrared CCD camera.
