Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomic relationships between neurovascular structures and the transverse carpal ligament so as to avoid complications during endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery. Methods : Twenty-eight patients (age range, 35-69 years) with carpal tunnel syndrome were entered into the study. We examined through wrist magnetic resonance imaging in three different positions (neutral, radial flexion, and ulnar flexion) and determined several anatomic landmark (distance from the hamate hook to the median nerve, ulnar nerve, and ulnar vessel) based on the lateral margin of the hook of the hamate. The median nerve and ulnar neurovascular structure were studied with the wrist in the neutral, ulnar, and radial flexion positions. Results : The ulnar neurovascular structures usually passed just over or ulnar to the hook of the hamate. However, in 12 hands, a looped ulnar artery coursed 0.6-3.3 mm radial to the hook of the hamate and continued to the superficial palmar arch. The looped ulnar artery migrates on the ulnar side of Guyon's canal (-5.2-1.8 mm radial to the hook of the hamate) with the wrist in radial flexion. During ulnar flexion of the wrist, the ulnar artery shifts more radially beyond the hook of the hamate (-2.5-5.7 mm). Conclusion : It is appropriate to transect the ligament greater than 4 mm apart from the lateral margin of the hook of the hamate without placing the edge of the scalpel toward the ulnar side. We would also recommend not transecting the transverse carpal ligament in the ulnar flexed wrist position to protect the ulnar neurovascular structure.

본 논문은 연약지반에서 복수의 신규터널 시공을 모사하기 위해 실시된 모형실험 과정 및 결과에 대해 기술한다. 새로운 터널이 기존터널에 근접하여 시공될 때 기존터널의 거동을 조사하기 위해 1/50의 상사율로 모형실험이 실시되었다. 모형 터널은 압밀된 Speswhite Kaolin 점토에 시공되었으며, 오거 형상 굴착기와 실드로 구성된 터널굴착 장비가 사용되었다. 기존터널의 거동 계측을 위해 스트레인 게이지와 변형계가 사용되었다. 모형시험 분석 결과는 영국 Old Street 런던 지하철 Northern Line 확장공사 현장계측 결과와 비교되었다. 또한, 모형시험 결과는 동일한 실험기구 및 실험방법이 사용된 별도의 모형실험에서 계측된 지반변형 데이터와도 비교되었다.

Results of measurements of surface pressure and of velocity field made on a full-scale 6 m cube in natural wind are reported. Comparisons are made with results from boundary-layer wind-tunnel studies reported in the literature. Two flow angles are reported; flow normal to a face of the cube (the $0^{\circ}$ case) and flow at $45^{\circ}$. In most comparisons, the spread of wind-tunnel results of pressure measurements spans the full-scale measurements. The exception to this is for the $0^{\circ}$ case where the roof and side-wall pressures at full-scale are more negative, and as a result of this the leeward wall pressures are also lower. The cause of this difference is postulated to be a Reynolds Number scale effect that affects flow reattachment. Measurements of velocity in the vicinity of the cube have been used to define the mean reattachment point on the roof centre line for the $0^{\circ}$ case, and the ground level reattachment point behind the cube for both $0^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ flow. Comparisons are reported with another full-scale experiment and also with wind-tunnel experiments that indicate a possible dependency on turbulence levels in the approach flow.

본 연구에서는 횡등방성 암반에서 이방성 정도에 따른 응력 차와 3차원 주응력 하의 터널방향, 이방성 정도에 따른 터널 단면에서의 2차원 응력 차를 이론적으로 구하였다. 구해진 응력상황 하의 터널에 대하여 $FLAC^{2D}$를 이용하여 이방성 고려여부에 따른 천단, 측벽, 바닥의 응력 차를 비교${\cdot}$검토하였다. 그 결과 이방성을 무시할 경우 응력 조건에 무관하게 주응력의 크기와 방향이 다르게 나타나며, 이방성 정도가 커질수록 응력차가 증가함을 알 수 있다. 이방성의 방향에 따라 응력 차가 달리 나타나며, 특히 이방성의 방향이 x축으로부터 시계반대방향으로 $45^{\circ}$와 $135^{\circ}$에서 가장 큰 응력 차가 발생함을 확인하였다.

This study investigates the design criteria required for wind barriers to protect vehicles running on an expressway under a high side wind. At the first stage of this study, the lateral deviations of vehicles in crosswinds were computed from the commercial software, CarSim and TruckSim, and the critical wind speeds for a car accident were then evaluated from a predefined car accident index. The critical wind speeds for driving stability were found to be 35 m/s for a small passenger car, yet 30 m/s for a truck and a bus. From the wind tunnel tests, the minimum height of a wind barrier required to reduce the wind speed by 50% was found to be 12.5% of the road width. In the case of parallel bridges, the placement of two edge wind barriers plus one wind barrier at center was recommended for a separation distance larger than 20 m (four lanes) and 10 m (six lanes) respectively, otherwise two wind barriers were recommended.

To ensure the safety of the tunnelling without the loss of economy, the tunnel seismic profiling(TSP) method for the prediction ahead of tunnel face, begins to be used routinely in these days. TSP method does not interfere the tunnelling works while the horizontal drilling does, and its prediction length is longer than that of the drilling. Yet the most frequently adopted technique of TSP in Korea is the multi-shot and 2 receiver array using in-hole receivers, even though this array requires as many as 26 drill-holes for receiver installation and ballasting, which results in 3-6 hours of suspension in excavation work. In this paper, multi-receiver and lesser shot array using side-wall attached 3 component geophones is to be described to prove the efficiency in terms of the survey time as well as the reliability of the method by comparison of the predicted weak points and the face mapping results. The predictions mostly agreed with the real fractures or joint developed zones which have been confirmed during the excavation. It also has been found that TSP method can be effectively applied to perform draining ground water ahead of tunnel face by imaging the geologic discontinuities.

최근 도심지 등에서 활용도가 높아지고 있는 얕은터널은 구조물에 인접하여 얕은 심도에 건설하므로 그 거동에 따른 주변지반 변위에 대한 연구는 아직 충분하지 않다. 특히, 얕은터널의 측벽에서 변위가 일어나면 주변지반의 이완형태 및 주변지반으로 전이되는 하중의 분포와 크기가 영향을 받을 수 있다. 그러나 지금까지 터널의 측벽변위에 관련된 연구는 많지 않고 그나마 터널과 주변지반을 평면변형률조건(plane strain state)으로 단순화하고 터널 전체의 안정이나 파괴메커니즘 규명에 대한 연구에 국한되어 있고, 터널 측벽일부의 변위에 따른 영향을 연구한 사례는 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 터널측벽의 변위가 터널 주변 횡방향 하중전이에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 이를 위하여 탄소봉으로 지반을 조성하고 알미늄으로 터널의 형상을 모형화하여 터널의 한쪽측벽에 수평으로 변위를 주어 토피(0.5D, 0.75D, 1.0D, 1.25D)를 변화시키면서 모형시험을 수행하였고, 일부 측벽의 파괴에 따른 주변지반의 하중전이 거동을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 얕은터널에서 토피가 일정깊이(0.75D) 이상이면 토피고에 무관하게 일정한 형태로 터널 측벽파괴가 발생하였고 반대측벽에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나, 토피고가 일정깊이 이하일 경우에는 한쪽 측벽의 파괴가 반대쪽 측벽에까지 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 터널 굴착시 측벽변위가 예상변위량의 50% 발생하면, 터널 파괴는 75% 이상 진행되는 것을 발견하였다. 그러나, 지반조건에 따라 차이를 보일 수 있으므로 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 터널내 화재 발생시 종류식 환기가 연소율 변화에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 Froude scaling에 의해 1/20크기로 축소한 모형화재 실험을 수행하였다. 화원으로는 $8.5cm{\sim}14.5cm$의 메탄올을 사용하였으며 발열량은 $3.57{\sim}10.95kW$이다. 연소율은 로드셀을 이용하여 산출하였고, 연기거동을 파악하기 위하여 K형 열전대를 이용하여 온도분포를 측정하였다. 풍동은 터널의 한쪽부분과 연결하였고, 터널 공간의 배연속도를 제어하기 위하여 풍동의 전압을 조절하였다. 메탄올 화재인 경우 배연속도가 증가할수록 냉각효과로 인하여 연소율은 감소하였으며, 또한 같은 무차원속도(V)일때 화원 크기가 커짐에 따라 연소율은 감소하였다.

In railway tunnel environment, the reliability of a high-data-rate and real-time train-to-wayside communication should be maintained especially when high-speed train moves along the track. In China and Europe, the communication frequency around 900 MHz is widely used for railway applications. At this carrier frequency band, both of the solutions based on continuously laid leaky coaxial cable (LCX) and discretely installed base-station antennas (BSAs), are applied in tunnel radio coverage. Many available works have concentrated on the radio-wave propagation in tunnels by different kinds of prediction models. Most of them solve this problem as natural propagation in a relatively large hollow waveguide, by neglecting the transmitting/receiving (Tx/Rx) components. However, within such confined areas like railway tunnels especially loaded with train, the complex communication environment becomes an important factor that would affect the quality of the signal transmission. This paper will apply a full-wave numerical method to this case, for considering the BSA or LCX, train antennas and their interacted environments, such as the locomotive body, overhead line for power supply, locomotive pantograph, steel rails, ballastless track, tunnel walls, etc.. Involving finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and uni-axial anisotropic perfectly matched layer (UPML) technique, the entire wireless RF downlinks of BSA and LCX to tunnel space to train antenna are precisely modeled (so-called integrative modeling technique, IMT). When exciting the BSA and LCX separately, the field distributions of some cross-sections in a rectangular tunnel are presented. It can be found that the influence of the locomotive body and other tunnel environments is very significant. The field coverage on the locomotive roof plane where the train antennas mounted, seems more homogenous when the side-laying position of the BSA or LCX is much higher. Also, much smoother field coverage solution is achieved by choosing LCX for its characteristic of more homogenous electromagnetic wave radiation.
