This study performs reliability analysis of three-dimensional temporary shoring structures with three different models. The first model represents a field model which does not have diagonal bracing members. The installation of bracing members is often neglected in the field for convenience. The second model corresponds to a design model which has the bracing members with the hinge connection of horizontal and bracing members at joints. The third model is similar to the second model but the hinge connection is replaced with partial rotational stiffness. The reliability analysis results revealed that the vertical members of the three models are safe enough in terms of axial force, but the vertical and horizontal members exhibit a big difference among the three models in terms of combination stress of axial force and bi-axial bending moments. The field model showed significant increase in failure probability for the horizontal member, and thus the results demonstrate that the bracing member should be installed necessarily for the safety of the temporary shoring structures.

Although attachments have been utilized for a retainer of removable prostheses during several decades, there is little information on the force distribution by the attachments. This study was undertaken to evaluate the stress patterns developed by partial dentures employing rigid attachments on the supporting structures. Four types of the mandibular removable partial dentures were designed depending upon the position of the rigid attachment and the existency of lingual bracing. Under 100N of vertical and 25N of lateral loads on the 1st and 2nd lower molar of partial denture, stress distribution patterns and displacement were analysed with three dimensional finite element method by ANSYS version 5.3. 1. The highest stresses were concentrated on the distal alveolar crest of posterior abutment and the second stresses on the apical region of posterior abutment in the models. 2. The greatest displacement were shown on the distal alveolar crest of posterior abutment and the second displacement on the distal alveolar crest of anterior abutment in the models. 3. There was little difference between the models with intraoral attachment and those with extracoronal attachment. 4. There was little difference between the models with and without the lingual bracing.

Columns in multi-storey frames are presently categorised as either braced or unbraced, usually by means of the stability index criterion, for estimating their effective length ratios by design aids such as 'alignment charts'. This procedure, however, ignores the transition in buckling behaviour between the braced condition and the unbraced one. Hence, this results in either an overestimation or an underestimation of effective length estimates of columns in frames that are in fact 'partially braced'. It is shown in this paper that the transitional behaviour is gradual, and can be approximately modelled by means of a 'fuzzy logic' based technique. The proposed technique is simple and intuitively agreeable. It fills the existing gap between the braced and unbraced conditions in present codal provisions.

Sometimes in clinic, we have found that cast crown construction is necessary to fit the existing partial denture clasp, when the abutment is involved with caries, a failing restoration, periodontal disease, or fracture. This is important not only to protect the abutment tooth from missing, but to restore retention, bracing and support for partial denture. For constructing the cast crown, several methods have been reported by many of previous authors. The number of techniques reported during the past are ideal but have uncertain results However, with more improved and practical technic developed by me, the problem becomes more successful. One method in which does not need the laboratory technecian is the wax pattern has been made in chairside waxing by doctor himself. The other in which requires the laboratory technician is to use special impression method and articulator for laboratory waxing. In one case of the reported here, we have successful results in restoring the abutment with cast crown for original denture clasp.

Fragility functions are determined for braced steel moment frames (SMFs) with plans such as square-, T-, L-, U-, trapezoidal-, and semicircular-shaped, subjected to blast. The frames are designed for gravity and seismic loads, but not necessarily for the blast loads. The blast load is computed for a wide range of scenarios involving different parameters, viz. charge weight, standoff distance, and blast location relative to plan of the structure followed by nonlinear dynamic analysis of the frames. The members failing in rotation lead to partial collapse due to plastic mechanism formation. The probabilities of partial collapse of the SMFs, with and without bracing system, due to the blast loading are computed to plot fragility curves. The charge weight and standoff distance are taken as Gaussian random input variables. The extent of propagation of the uncertainties in the input parameters onto the response quantities and fragility of the SMFs is assessed by computing Sobol sensitivity indices. The probabilistic analysis is conducted using Monte Carlo simulations. The frames have least failure probability for blasts occurring in front of their corners or convex face. Further, the unbraced frames are observed to have higher fragility as compared to counterpart braced frames for far-off detonations.

연구대상은 콘크리트 충전강관 (Concrete Filled steel tube)기둥과 보의 접합부를 합성반강접으로 적용한 구조물의 설계 적용에 관한 것이다. 합성반강접으로 기둥접합부의 강성을 조절함으로서 구조적 안전성을 확보하고 경제적인 부재를 적용하고자 하였다. 저층건물을 모멘트골조로 구조물의 안정성을 검토한 결과 합성작용으로 인하여 합성반강접을 이용하면 횡강성이 증대하여 저층건물의 경우 특별한 횡 보강재 없이 저항할 수 있음을 확인 하였다. 고층건물의 경우 모멘트골조가 횡저항 분담이 10%정도 되었으며 반강접 비율은 60%정도가 적절하였다. 경제적인 면에서 보 부재는 등분포하중이 작용하는 경우는 반강접 효과가 크나 집중하중이 작용하는 보는 반강접 효과가 크지 않았으며 등분포의 경우 60% 반강접이 단부 모멘트 저감에 따른 경제성이 가장 좋은 것으로 분석되었다. 단부 모멘트는 약 25% 감소되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

RC shear walls are considered one of the main lateral resisting members in buildings. In recent years, FRP has been widely utilized in order to strengthen and retrofit concrete structures. A number of experimental studies used CFRP sheets as an external bracing system for retrofitting of RC shear walls. It has been found that the common mode of failure is the debonding of the CFRP-concrete adhesive material. In this study, behavior of RC shear wall was investigated with three different micro models. The analysis included 2D model using plane stress element, 3D model using shell element and 3D model using solid element. To allow for the debonding mode of failure, the adhesive layer was modeled using cohesive surface-to-surface interaction model at 3D analysis model and node-to-node interaction method using Cartesian elastic-plastic connector element at 2D analysis model. The FE model results are validated comparing the experimental results in the literature. It is shown that the proposed FE model can predict the modes of failure due to debonding of CFRP and behavior of CFRP strengthened RC shear wall reasonably well. Additionally, using 2D plane stress model, many parameters on the behavior of the cohesive surfaces are investigated such as fracture energy, interfacial shear stress, partial bonding, proposed CFRP anchor location and using different bracing of CFRP strips. Using two anchors near end of each diagonal CFRP strips delay the end debonding and increase the ductility for RC shear walls.

This paper is a presentation of a physical model for the elastic-partly plastic behavior of rectangular hollow section pinned struts subjected to static cyclic axial loading and the evaluation of the compressive strength of retrofitted damaged struts. Retrofitting is achieved by welding stiffening plates along the webs of damaged struts. The shape of the elastic and permanent deformations of the strut axis satisfy the conditions at the ends and midspan. Continuous functions of the geometric variables of stress distributions in the yielded zone are evaluated by interpolation between three points along each partly plastic zone. Permanent deformations of the partly plastic region are computed and used to update the shape of the unloaded strut. The necessity of considering geometric nonlinearity is discussed. The sensitivity of the results to the location of interpolation points, the shape of the permanent deformation and material hysteretic properties is investigated.

This paper is a presentation of an experimental study about the elastic-partly plastic behavior of rectangular hollow steel pinned struts subjected to static cyclic axial loading and the evaluation of the compressive strength of retrofitted crooked struts. Retrofitting is achieved by welding stiffening plates along the webs of damaged struts. The material follows a quasi-kinematic hardening hysteresis path as observed from coupon tests. Test results are compared to those of an analytical model showing a good agreement for both standard and retrofitted struts. The comparison of different stiffener plate dimensions shows that more efficient strengthening is achieved by using long thin stiffeners rather than short thick ones.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the removable partial denture prescriptions including surveyed crowns and design of component parts sent to the laboratory technician. A total of 351 casess with prescription forms and master cast in maxillary and mandibular semi-edentulous situations collected from dental laboratory by random sampling were selected for this study. The evaluation and study observed here involved the classification of edentulous situations, status of abutment splinting, form of rest seats and guiding plane of surveyed crows, location of maxillary major connectors and tripodig marks on the master casts. Removable partial denture prescriptions contained (1) general request (upper and lower cast framework), (2) types of metal, (3) location of retainer(retention, lingual bracing, rest area, guiding plane surface), (4) location and type of major connector, (5) relief area and amount, (6) and other specific instructions. The following informations based on the classified groups such as Group I was those cases sent with no real prescriptions. They say 'make a partial.' No prescriptions, no thought beforehand, Group II was those cases sent with a minimal prescriptions. They say 'make a partial with clasps on May be some preparations, usually inadequate. Group III was those cases sent with a moderately good prescription. Adequate but could be much better. No tripoding but it tell what clasps go where. Still not good prescriptions. Group IV was good cases, tripoded with adequate prescriptions and a prescription which exactly describes what is expected from the laboratory. The analyzed results were as follows: 1. The normal form of rest seats and guiding plane of surveyed crowns in Class. I and Class. II edentulous situations on the maxillary cast were observed 31.9% and 27.89%, respectively. The abutment teeth and retainer without occlusal rests of Class. I and Class. II were showed 11.58% and 8.86%, respectively. In mandibular cases, the normal form of rest seats and guiding plane of surveyed crowns showed 27.54% and 8.82% in Class. I and Class. II situation. The abutment teeth and retainer without rest seats were showed 15.19%, respectively. 2. The splinted surveyed crowns of Class. I and Class. II maxillary edentulous situations in distal extension cases were showed 34.51% and 28.85%, but 28.52% and 10.29%, respectively. 3. The location and type of maxillary major connector delineated on the master cast were 66 cases (44.89%). 4. The results of 351 cases were classified as Group I 146(41.59%), Group II 115 (32.76%), Group III 57 (16.23%), and Group IV 33 (9.48%). 5. The delineation of abutment tooth for clasping were 176 cases (50.14%) among total of 351 cases. 6. The delineation of height of contour line were showed 45 cases (12.8%) in Group II, 14 cases (3.98%) in Group III and 33 cases (9.40%) in Group IV with total 92 cases (26.21%). 7. In surveying procedure, the delineation of tripoding marks and reference line were showed 17 cases (4.84%).
