Ground anchor should not be used in soft clay, because anchor resistance can not be guaranteed. However, there is a way to increase the capacity of anchors. The pulse powered anchor is an underreamed anchor by using high voltage electrokinetic pulse energy. In this study, a series of field test were carried out in order to find expansion rate related in number of pulse charge. and Anchor pull-out tests were performed at the Geotechnical Experimentation Site at Sungkyunkwan University in Suwon, Korea. Data were analyzed in order to define a relation between expansion rate and ultimate pullout load.

In order to investigate the effect of particle size and distribution of silica sand on the characteristics of investment, W/P ratio, setting time, temperature change during setting, setting expansion, thermal expansion and compressive strength of the investments were measured. In this experiment, magnesia clinker and mono ammonium phosphate were used as binder, and particle size and distribution of silica sand were classified for convinence into 10 categories. The main results obtained from this investigation were summerized as follows. 1. W/P ratio decreased with increase of particle size and evenness in distribution of sand grain. 2. Setting time decreased with increase of evenness in distribution of sand grain, and temperature during setting increased with evenness in distribution of sand grain. 3. Setting expansion decreased with increase of particle size, while it increased with evenness in distribution of sand grain. 4. Thermal expansion decreased with increase of particle size. 5. Compressive strength increased with increase of particle size and evenness in distribution of sand grain. From above results, G.F.N. 250 sand which contains 30% of 50-100 mesh could be recommended for investment casting.

Background Giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) is a rare disease, for which complete surgical resection is recommended. However, the size of the lesions presents problems for the management of the condition. The most popular approach is to use a tissue expander; however, single-stage expansion in reconstructive surgery for GCMN cannot always address the entire defect. Few reports have compared tissue expansion techniques. The present study compared single and serial expansion to analyze the risk factors for complications and the surgical outcomes of the two techniques. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of patients who underwent tissue expander reconstruction between March 2011 and July 2019. Serial expansion was indicated in cases of anatomically obvious defects after the first expansion, limited skin expansion with two more expander insertions, or capsular contracture after removal of the first expander. Results Fifty-five patients (88 cases) were analyzed, of whom 31 underwent serial expansion. The number of expanders inserted was higher in the serial-expansion group (P<0.001). The back and lower extremities were the most common locations for single and serial expansion, respectively (P =0.043). Multivariate analysis showed that sex (odds ratio [OR], 0.257; P=0.015), expander size (OR, 1.016; P=0.015), and inflation volume (OR, 0.987; P=0.015) were risk factors for complications. Conclusions Serial expansion is a good option for GCMN management. We demonstrated that large-sized expanders and large inflation volumes can lead to complications, and therefore require risk-reducing strategies. Nonetheless, serial expansion with proper management is appropriate for certain patients and can provide aesthetically satisfactory outcomes.

Using waste glass in concrete can cause crack and strength loss by the expansion of alkali-silica reaction(ASR). In this study, ASR expansion and properties of strength were analyzed in terms of brown waste glass content, and fibers(steel fiber, polypropylene fiber) and fiber content for reduction ASR expansion due to waste glass. In this accelerated ASTM C 1260 test of waste glass, pessimum content can not be found. Also, when used the fibers with waste g1ass, there is an effect on reduction of expansion and strength loss due to ASR between the alkali in the cement paste and the silica in the waste glass. Specially, adding 1.5 vol.% of steel fiber to 20% of waste glass the expansion ratio was reduced by 40% and flexural strength was developed by up to 110% comparing with only Waste glass ( $80^{\circ}C$ $H_{2}$ O curing).

A method is developed to include the effect of volume expansion in the description of the flame dynamics using G-equation. Line volume-source is used to represent the effect of the exothermic process of combustion with source strength assigned by the density difference between the burned and the unburned region. The present model provides good agreement with the experimental results by using realistic volume expansion ratio which was not reached in the previous researches. Including volume expansion, the flow predicts the same behavior of measured velocity field qualitatively. The flame propagation in varying flow field due to volume expansion provides a promising way to represent the wrinkled turbulent premixed flames in a numerically efficient manner.

In this study we use three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of flux emergence from solar subsurface layer to corona. In order to study the twist parameter of magnetic field we compare the simulations for strongly twisted and weakly twisted cases. Based on the results, we derive a flux expansion factor of selected flux tubes which is a ratio of expanded cross section to the one measured at the footpoint of the flux tube. To understand the effect of flux expansion factor, we make a comparison between magnetic field configuration and the expansion factor. By using a fitting function of hyperbolic tangent we derive noticeable correlations among the strength of the vertical magnetic field, current density and expansion factor. We discuss what these results tell about the relationship between the twist of emerging field and the mechanism for the solar wind.

본 논문에선느 ATM 통신망을 위한 여러 ATM 스위치 모델들 중에서, 내부적으로 블록킹(blocking)이 없고 입출력 단에 각각 버퍼가 할당되어 있는 입출력 버퍼형 교환기에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존에서 스위치 스피드-업(Switch Speed-up) 기법하에서 주로 연구가 이루어졌다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 유니폼 트래픽하에서 Output-port Expansion 기법을 사용한 귀환.손실 모드 및 하이브리드 모드하에서의 셀 손실률을 비교 분석하였다. Output-port Expansion 기법은, 한 타임 슬롯동안에 입력포트 당 하나의 셀만 교환되며, 만약 하나 이상의 셀들이 같은 출력포트로 향하면, 최대 교환되는 셀 수를 K(Output-port Expansion Ratio)개로 제한하는 방식이다. 유니폼 트래픽(uniform random traffic) 하에서 각 모드에 따른 셀 손실률을 비교 분석한 결과, 로드 0.9를 기점으로, 0.9이하의 로드에서는 하이브리드 모드가, 0.9이상의 로드에서는 손실모드가 가장 낮은 셀 손실률을 보인다.

In this study, the centrifuge model tests were carried out to evaluate the stress concentration ratio, the deformation modes of piles and the ground movement in clay deposit improved by SCP and GCP piles with changing the replacement ratio(20%, 40%, 60%) under flexible loading. Based on the results obtained, it was shown that the stresses acting on GCP was larger than those acting on SCP with the same replacement ratio. It was evaluated that the average stress concentration ratio of soft clay ground improved by GCP was slightly larger than that of SCP when the replacement ratio is 40%. Only expansion failure occurred in GCP, whereas SCP showed the expansion and shear failure simultaneously.

In this study, centrifuge model tests were performed to investigate the stress concentration ratio, bearing capacity and deformation modes of piles in clay ground improved by granular piles with two types of pile (CSCP, SCP) and various replacement ratios (0, 20, 40, 60%). According to the results of tests, the load ratio of ground improved by SCP and CSCP proportionally increased as replacement ratio increased. It shows that average normalized load of ground improved by CSCP is higher by about $8{\sim}21%$ than by SCP. As a result of rigid loading tests, it was evaluated that average stress concentration ratio of CSCP is higher than that of SCP. Only expansion failure occurred in CSCP, whereas SCP showed the expansion and shear failure simultaneously.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the structure and use change of the private space according to the balcony expansion and use it as the data of plan design. According to Bay, front length/width ratio and the change of balcony space before and after expansion of space organization of house units were analyzed. Common characteristics of Flat type and Tower type are an increase of the frontage length of house units in an apartment, an increase of the number of front bay, and an increase of integrated LDK focusing on living room. A difference is that Flat type shows high frontage ratio, Bay figure, and spatial arrangement favorable to front openness and lighting. Flat type shows higher area distribution than Tower type in LDK area distribution located in at the plane center. Spatial expandability and visual openness of Flat type are more beneficial than those of Tower type in the planning, and a balcony extension of house units has developed to direction to open more. Tower type creates various block images through a combination of house units focusing on the core. Uses after balcony expansion are area expansion of a balcony-neighboring room, storage space, expansion and function improvement of the variable range, and specialized space different from a neighboring room. In addition, there is no escapable space except for a shelter, so unit plan should be prepared to prevent using it other space of a shelter and to solve moving line of two-way horizontal refuge and vertical refuge.
