The potential use of Cu-based shape memory alloys (SMA) in retrofitting historical monuments is investigated in this paper. This study is part of the ongoing work conducted in Tunisia within the framework of the FP6 European Union project (WIND-CHIME) on the use of appropriate modern seismic protective systems in the conservation of Mediterranean historical buildings in earthquake-prone areas. The present investigation consists of a finite element simulation, as a preliminary to an experimental study where a cantilever masonry wall, representing a part of a historical monument, is subjected to monotonic and quasi-static cyclic loadings around a horizontal axis at the base level. The wall was retrofitted with an array of copper SMA wires with different cross-sectional areas. A new model is proposed for heat-treated copper SMAs and is validated based on published experimental results. A series of nonlinear finite element analyses are then performed on the wall for the purpose of assessing the SMA device retrofitting capabilities. Simulation results show an improvement of the wall response for the case of monotonic and quasi-static cyclic loadings.

Based on detailed FE limit analyses, the present paper provides tractable approximations fer plastic limit pressure solutions fur axially through-wall-cracked pipe; axially (inner) surface-cracked pipe; circumferentially through-wall-cracked pipe; and circumferentially (inner) surface-cracked pipe. In particular, for surface crack problems, the effect of the crack shape, the semi-elliptical shape or the rectangular shape, on the limit pressure is quantified. Comparisons with existing analytical and empirical solutions show a large discrepancy in circumferential short through-wall cracks and in surface cracks (both axial and circumferential). Being based on detailed 3-D FE limit analysis, the present solutions are believed to be the most accurate, and thus to be valuable information not only for plastic collapse analysis of pressurised piping but also for estimating non-linear fracture mechanics parameters based on the reference stress approach.

Literature regarding concrete walls reinforced by super elastic shape memory alloy (SMA) bars is rather limited. The seismic behavior of a system concurrently including a distinct steel reinforced concrete (RC) wall, as well as another wall reinforced by super elastic SMA at the first story, and steel rebar at upper stories, would be an interesting matter. In this paper, the seismic response of such a COMBINED system is compared to a conventional system with steel RC concrete walls (STEEL-Rein.) and also to a wall system with SMA rebar at the first story and steel rebar at other stories ( SMA-Rein.). Nonlinear time history analysis at maximum considered earthquake (MCE) and design bases earthquake (DBE) levels is conducted and the main responses like maximum inter-story drift ratio and residual inter-story drift ratio are investigated. Furthermore, incremental dynamic analysis is used to accomplish probabilistic seismic studies by creating fragility curves. Results demonstrated that the SMA-Rein. system, subjected to DBE and MCE ground motions, has almost zero and 0.27% residual maximum inter-story drifts, while the values for the COMBINED system are 0.25% and 0.51%. Furthermore, fragility curves show that using SMA rebar at the base of all walls causes a larger probability of exceedance 3% inter-story drift limit state compared to the COMBINED system. Static push over analysis demonstrated that the strength of the COMBINED model is almost 0.35% larger than that of the two other models, and its general post-yielding stiffness is also approximately twice the corresponding stiffness of the two other models.

Reinforced concrete structures require large amounts of concrete and rebar in the construction stage. Rebar is a major resource for reinforced concrete structures, and generates more CO₂ per unit weight than other materials. To solve this problem, it was confirmed that the cutting waste can be close to zero when the special length of the rebar is calculated in the drawing created after structural design. However, a system for automatically calculating the length of reinforcing bars to efficiently calculate the total amount of reinforcing bars has not been established. Therefore, the objective of this study is a basic study of automatic rebar length estimate algorithm of bearing wall by using BIM-based shape codes built in Revit. The bearing wall rebar can be automatically derived using the developed model. Furthermore, through applying the developed model to the construction field, it will greatly contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing rebar cutting waste.

For a rigid retaining wall with rough face, the practical shape of failure surface and arching effect in the backfill must be considered to acquire accurate magnitude and non-linear distribution of active earth pressure acting on the rigid retaining wall. In this study, a new formulation for calculating the active earth pressure on a rough rigid retaining wall rotating about the top is proposed considering the practical shape of non-linear failure surface and arching effects. Accuracy of the proposed equation is checked through comparisons of calculations from the proposed equations with existing model test results. The comparisons show that the proposed equations produce satisfactory results.

The unit curtain wall is an exterior finish currently used on the exterior walls of high-rise buildings. Curtain walls used as non-endurance walls are largely classified into stick curtain walls and unit curtain walls, and their use has recently been on the rise to reduce risks at construction sites through factory manufacturing. Accordingly, this study attempted to examine the insulation performance according to the shape of the unit curtain wall profile through insulation simulation.

산업화의 발달과 더불어, 도로 등 교통시설과 건설 장비의 발달로 공장 제작하여 운반 설치하는 프리캐스트 구조물이 급속히 확장되는 추세이며, 2000년 대 부터는 철근콘크리트 옹벽도 프리캐스트 공법이 개발되고 현장에서 적용이 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 항타하여 설치해 온 앵커 파일 옹벽에서 기초에 설치되는 앵커파일을 일반돌기에서 나선형 플렌지 타입으로 설치하여 유압모터를 이용한 압입, 회전 방식으로 설치하고 앵커파일의 형태를 개선하고 이에 따른 기술적 검증과 최적의 적용형태를 도출하였다. 이를 위하여 현장 실규모 시험 및 수치해석적 검증을 수행하였으며, 인발실험 결과 앵커파일은 나선형 플렌지를 설치하는 것이 돌기가 없거나 다른 형상의 돌기가 설치된 파일에 비해 1.5~8배의 높은 인발 저항력을 보였으며, 나선형 플렌지가 설치된 APC옹벽에서 인발 저항력의 증대로 기초와 벽체의 변위도 25% 이상 감소됨을 보였다.

This paper proposes an effective algorithm for following a wall by an autonomous mobile robot with sonar sensors and infrared sensors in an indoor environment. The proposed method uses deadreckoning to estimate the current position and orientation of a mobile robot. Sonar sensor data are used to estimate shape and position of wall using proposed algorithm. Infrared sensor data are used as assistant when sonar sensor data is uncertain. Simulation results using mobile robot show that the proposed algorithm is proper for the following wall.

Background and Objectives : There are so many methods to investigate the causes of voice disorders. However, they were almost invasive or non-physiologic methods. And none of them showed the laryngeal movements. Phonation pharyngogram is non-invasive method to see the laryngeal movement directly. Authors studied to evaluate the availability of phonation pharyngogram in laryngeal nodule. Materials and Methods : 30 laryngeal nodules and 10 control groups were evaluated. Acoustic analysis and maximum phonation time were measured and pharyngogram was taken during sustaining /a/ phonation immediately after swallowing the barium. We measured the width of hypopharyngeal wall, shape of hypopharyngeal wall and pyriform sinus apex, level difference between both true vocal folds, angle of subglottis, location of true vocal folds, elevated distance of vocal folds and shape of c-spine. Results : Jitter, Shimmer of laryngeal nodule were higher than control group and maximum phonation time was shorter in laryngeal nodule. There was a significance in width of hypopharyngeal wall, shape of pyriform sinus apex, level difference between both true vocal folds, elevated distance of vocal folds and shape of c-spine. Conclusions : Authors knew that there were differences when we used the phonation pharyngogram between normal group and laryngeal nodule group.

본 연구에서는 상재하중을 적용한 굴착모형실험을 통하여 상재하중 적용으로 인한 굴착단계별, 벽체강성 및 지반조건에 따른 토류벽체의 수평변위, 배면지반 지표침하, 토류벽체에 적용되는 토압변화 및 분포에 대하여 실험결과치, 이론치 및 현장자료 분석치와 상호비교, 분석하여 상재하중 적용에 의한 영향을 규명하였다. 그 결과 상재하중이 적용된 모형지반에서의 지표침하곡선 형태는 상재하중 미 적용시 지표침하 곡선형태의 정규확률 분포곡선과 달리 상재하중 중앙 부분이 최대 침하를 일으키는 포물선 형태의 침하를 보이고 있으며, 굴착단계별 상재하중 적용으로 인한 벽체최대수평변위는 최종굴착시에 0.8H(보:굴착깊이) 지점에서 벽체의 최대수평변위가 발생하였으며, 상재하중 적용에 따른 벽체변위량의 증가범위는 벽체상부로부터 하중이격거리에 2배의 깊이까지 증가범위를 보였다. 또한, 굴착단계별 지표면의 침하로 인한 기초판의 각 변위는 최종단계에서의 각 변위가 가장 크게 발생하였고, 벽체강성별로는 두께 4mm(유연계수 ${\rho}\;:480m^3/t$) 벽체가 두께 9mm(유연계수 ${\rho}\;: 40m^3/t$)보다 최대 3배 이상 발생하고 있어 벽체강성의 영향이 매우 큼을 알 수 있다.
