To make up for the performance weaknesses of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), expand the application range of RAC, and alleviate the environmental problems caused by excessive exploitation of natural coarse aggregates (NCA), this study proposes a basalt fiber-reinforced recycled aggregate concrete (BFRRAC)-filled square steel tubular columns that combines two modification methods of steel tube and fiber, which may greatly enhance the mechanical properties of RAC. The axial compression performance for BFRRAC-filled square steel tubular columns was reported during this study. Seven specimens with different replacement ratios of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA), length-diameter ratios, along with basalt fiber (BF) contents were designed as well as fabricated for performing axial compression test. For each specimen, the whole failure process as well as mode of specimen were discovered, subsequently the load-axial displacement curve has obtained, after which the mechanical properties was explained. A finite element analysis model for specimens under axial compression was then established. Subsequently, based on this model, the factors affecting axial compression performance for BFRRAC-filled square steel tubes were extended and analyzed, after which the corresponding design suggestion was proposed. The results show that in the columns with length-diameter ratios of 5 and 8, bulging failure was presented, and the RAC was severely crushed at the bulging area of the specimen. The replacement ratio of RCA as well as BF content little affected specimen's peak load (less than 5%). As the content of BF enhanced from 0 kg/m³ to 4 kg/m³, the dissipation factor and ductility coefficients increased by 10.2% and 5.6%, respectively, with a wide range.

Purpose: Appropriate scoring systems can help classify and treat polytrauma patients. This study aimed to validate chest trauma scoring systems in polytrauma patients. Methods: Data from 1,038 polytrauma patients were analyzed. The primary outcomes were one or more complications: pneumonia, chest complications requiring surgery, and mortality. The Thoracic Trauma Severity Score (TTSS), Chest Trauma Score, Rib Fracture Score, and RibScore were compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis in patients with or without head trauma. Results: In total, 1,038 patients were divided into two groups: those with complications (822 patients, 79.2%) and those with no complications (216 patients, 20.8%). Sex and body mass index did not significantly differ between the groups. However, age was higher in the complications group (64.1±17.5 years vs. 54.9±17.6 years, P<0.001). The proportion of head trauma patients was higher (58.3% vs. 24.6%, P<0.001) and the Glasgow Coma Scale score was worse (median [interquartile range], 12 [6.5-15] vs. 15 [14-15]; P<0.001) in the complications group. The number of rib fractures, the degree of rib fracture displacement, and the severity of pulmonary contusions were also higher in the complications group. In the area under the ROC curve analysis, the TTSS showed the highest predictive value for the entire group (0.731), head trauma group (0.715), and no head trauma group (0.730), while RibScore had the poorest performance (0.643, 0.622, and 0.622, respectively) Conclusions: Early injury severity detection and grading are crucial for patients with blunt chest trauma. The chest trauma scoring systems introduced to date, including the TTSS, are not acceptable for clinical use, especially in polytrauma patients with traumatic brain injury. Therefore, further revisions and analyses of chest trauma scoring systems are recommended.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inter-laminar fracture toughness characteristics of CFRP pultrusion spar cap materials reinforced with non-woven glass fabric. Test specimens were fabricated by the infusion technique. A non-woven glass fabric and artificial defects were embedded on the middle surface between two pultruded CFRP panels. Double cantilever beam (DCB) and End Notched Flexure (ENF) tests were performed according to ASTM standards. Fracture toughness and crack propagation characteristics were evaluated with load-displacement curves and delamination resistance curves (R-Curve). The fracture toughness results were calculated by compliance calibration (CC) method. The initiation and propagation values of Mode-I critical strain energy release rate value G_Ic were 1.357 kJ/m2 and 1.397 kJ/m2, respectively, and Mode-II critical strain energy release rate values G_IIc were 4.053 kJ/m2 for non-precracked test and 4.547 kJ/m2 for precracked test. It was found that the fracture toughness properties of the CFRP pultrusion spar-cap are influenced by the interface between the layers of CFRP and glass fiber non-woven.

In this study, the SBC system, a new mechanical joint method, was developed to improve the constructability of precast concrete (PC) beam-column connections. The reliability of the finite element analysis model was verified through the comparison of experimental results and FEM analysis results. Recently, the intermediate moment frame, a seismic force resistance system, has served as a ramen structure that resists seismic force through beams and columns and has few load-bearing walls, so it is increasingly being applied to PC warehouses and PC factories with high loads and long spans. However, looking at the existing PC beam-column anchorage details, the wire, strand, and lower main bar are overlapped with the anchorage rebar at the end, so they do not satisfy the joint and anchorage requirements for reinforcing bars (KDS 41 17 00 9.3). Therefore, a mechanical joint method (SBC) was developed to meet the relevant standards and improve constructability. Tensile and bending experiments were conducted to examine structural performance, and a finite element analysis model was created. The load-displacement curve and failure pattern confirmed that both the experimental and analysis results were similar, and it was verified that a reliable finite element analysis model was built. In addition, bending tests showed that the larger the thickness of the bolt joint surface of the SBC, the better its structural performance. It was also determined that the system could improve energy dissipation ability and ductility through buckling and yielding occurring in the SBC.

Accurate seismic vulnerability assessment requires high quality and large amounts of ground motion data. Ground motion data generated from time series contains not only the seismic waves but also the background noise. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the high-pass cut-off frequency to reduce the background noise. Traditional methods for determining the high-pass filter frequency are based on human inspection, such as comparing the noise and the signal Fourier Amplitude Spectrum (FAS), f² trend line fitting, and inspection of the displacement curve after filtering. However, these methods are subject to human error and unsuitable for automating the process. This study used a deep learning approach to determine the high-pass filter frequency. We used the Mel-spectrogram for feature extraction and mixup technique to overcome the lack of data. We selected convolutional neural network (CNN) models such as ResNet, DenseNet, and EfficientNet for transfer learning. Additionally, we chose ViT and DeiT for transformer-based models. The results showed that ResNet had the highest performance with R² (the coefficient of determination) at 0.977 and the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) and RMSE (root mean square error) at 0.006 and 0.074, respectively. When applied to a seismic event and compared to the traditional methods, the determination of the high-pass filter frequency through the deep learning method showed a difference of 0.1 Hz, which demonstrates that it can be used as a replacement for traditional methods. We anticipate that this study will pave the way for automating ground motion processing, which could be applied to the system to handle large amounts of data efficiently.

Background: We developed a novel interlocking three-dimensional (3D) miniplate design with an adjustable configuration. As this device is new, surgeons must become familiar with its application. This study evaluated the usability and learning curves associated with the novel interlocking 3D miniplate for mandibular fracture fixation. Methods: The study participants, nine plastic surgeons, were asked to apply an interlocking 3D miniplate and a standard miniplate to polyurethane mandible models. The participants had completed the Basic Craniomaxillofacial Osteosynthesis course during residency and had operated on craniomaxillofacial fractures within the past 5 years. They were instructed to place the interlocking 3D miniplate three times and the standard miniplate once. We assessed the time required for implant placement, the comfort level of the surgeons, and the biomechanical stability of the plates. Biomechanical testing was conducted by subjecting the mandible to forces ranging from 10 to 90 N and the displacement was measured. Results: The results indicate increasing comfort with each attempt at placing the interlocking 3D miniplate, with a significant difference between the first and third attempts. Additionally, a reduction in application time was noted with repeated attempts, suggesting improved efficiency. Biomechanical tests showed comparable stability between the tested plates. Conclusion: Multiple attempts at applying the interlocking 3D miniplate resulted in increased comfort and reduced application time. These findings indicate that, despite its novelty, the interlocking 3D miniplate is relatively straightforward to apply and has a short learning curve. However, surgeons must have specific qualifications to ensure proper training and minimize errors during placement.

흙의 입자 크기에 따른 지반-말뚝 시스템의 동적 거동 차이를 알아보기 위해, 단말뚝 및 군말뚝에 대한 1g 진동대모형 실험을 수행하였다. 지반 조성에 사용된 시료는 주문진 표준사와 호주산 세사이며, 흙의 입자 크기에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위해 다른 실험 조건은 동일하게 하였다. 단말뚝 실험 결과 말뚝의 횡방향 변위는 말뚝 직경의 1%인 탄성 영역 이내로 발생하였다. 단말뚝의 p-y 거동을 살펴보면 동일 변위에서 주문진 표준사 모형 지반의 지반 반력 값이 호주산 세사 모형 지반에서의 지반 반력보다 더 크게 나타났으며, 이는 주문진 표준사 모형 지반에서의 초기 탄성 강성이 더 크게 평가됨을 의미한다. 이러한 입자 크기에 따른 초기 지반 강성 차이는 공진주 실험 및 삼축압축실험을 통해서 확인하였다. 또한 외삽을 통해 단말뚝의 동적 p-y 중추 곡선을 산정한 결과 동적 p-y 중추곡선의 강성이 주문진 표준사 지반에서 호주산세사 지반보다 더 크게 산정되었다. 그러므로 사질토 지반에서 입자크기에 관계없이 동일한 p-y곡선을 적용하여 말뚝의 동적 거동을 예측하는 방법에 오류가 있을 수 있다. 군말뚝 실험에서는 단말뚝 실험과 같은 실험 조건에서 말뚝 직경의 1% 이상의 횡방향 변위가 발생하였으며, 모형 지반 종류와 상관없이 유사한 p-y 거동이 나타났다. 이는 변형율이 큰 비선형 영역에서는 주문진 표준사와 호주산 세사의 강성 차이가 크지 않기 때문이다. 이러한 일련의 단말뚝 및 군말뚝 실험 결과로 볼 때, 군효과를 평가하기 위해 단말뚝의 p-y 곡선에 단순히 p-승수(p-multiplier)를 곱하여 군효과를 고려하는 방법에 오류가 있을 수 있다고 판단된다.

무지개 송어의 뇌하수체 및 배양액에 존재하는 GTH II 농도를 측정하기 위해 Avidin- Biotin complex를 이용한 sandwich EIA 계을 개발했다. Protein A sepharose affinity chromatography을 통해서 얻어진 연어 GTH II의 rabbit IgG에 biotinylation시킨 것 (Biotin-salmon GTH II rabbit IgG)을 제2 항체로 사용하였고, Non-Biotin salmon GTH II rabbit IgG는 단지 protein A sepharose affinity chromatography에서 얻어진 IgG를 제 1 항체로 사용하였다. EIA는 sandwich법에 의해서 이루어졌으며, 효소반응 기질로는 TMB(3,3'5,5-tetramethylbenzidine)를 이용했으며, 반응후 450 nm의 흡광도에서 automatic microplate reader로 측정하였다. 그 결과, $0.12\;{\~}\;125\;ng/ml$의 범위에서 용량반응곡선을 얻었으며, 측정감도 (최소 검출량)는 거의 0.58 ng/ml 정도 였다. 그리고 뇌하수체 추출물 및 배양액 각각의 희석곡선은 GTH II 표존곡선과 일치 하였다. 또한 이러한 GTH II의 표준곡선는 뇌하수체내 다른 peptide hormone와는 교차반응을 거의 나타내지 않았다. Testosterone을 처리한 미성숙 무지개 송어의 뇌하수체 세포배양계를 이용하여 sGnRH에 의한 GTH II 분비량을 본 sandwich EIA계와 RIA계를 비교 조사한 결과, 거의 같은 분비량을 나타냈을 뿐만아니라 같은 분비 pattern을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과로부터 본 sandwich법 EIA계에 의해서 연어과 어류의 뇌하수체 추출물 및 뇌하수체 배양액 중의 GTH II 함량 및 분비량을 측정하는데 있어서 안정된 assay계라고 생각되어진다.

수평곡선 구조용 부재는 중력하중 하에서도 휨모멘트와 비틀림 모멘트를 동시에 저항하여야 한다. 이때, 비틀림 모멘트에 의하여 부재 내부의 응력상태는 불균일해지고, 때에 따라 요소의 이른 항복을 야기하여 결과적으로 부재의 극한강도가 저하될 수 있다. 해석에 따르면 곡률 중심각이 45도인 부재는 직선부재에 비해 동일한 조건 하에서 극한 강도가 50% 이상 감소될 수 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 현재까지 곡선 거더의 강도 산정 방안에 관한 연구는 미진한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 휨, 순수비틀림, ? 등의 영향을 독립적으로 고려할 수 있는 구조 모델이 선정되었으며 이에 따라 극한강도에 영향을 미치는 인자가 도출 되었다. 곡선 부재의 거동은 횡-비틀림-수직 거동으로 재정의 되었으며, 휨-비틀림 상호작용 곡선을 이용하여 최종적으로 곡률, 비지지길이, 단면 형상등 거동에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 포함하는 극한강도 산정식을 제안하였다.
