This study presents the optimal grouping technique of columns which groups together columns of similar shortening trends to improve the efficiency of column shortening compensation. Here, Kohonen's self-organizing feature map which can classify patterns of input data by itself with unsupervised learning was used as the optimal grouping algorithm. The Kohonen network applied in this study is composed of two input neurons and variable output neurons, here the number of output neuron is equal to the column groups to be classified. In input neurons the normalized mean and standard deviation of shortening of each columns are inputted and in the output neurons the classified column groups are presented. The applicability of the proposed algorithm was evaluated by applying it to the two buildings where column shortening analyses had already been performed. The proposed algorithm was able to classify columns with similar shortening trends as one group, and from this we were able to ascertain the field-applicability of the proposed algorithm as the optimal grouping of column shortening.

The purpose of this study is to verify the transfer function of input acceleration and output control force by linearizing a velocity-dependent damping term of Liquid Column Vibration Absorber (LCVA). Analytical and experimental research is conducted to identify natural frequency, damping ratio and participated mass ratio of LCVA with various section ratios of vertical and horizontal areas. Findings obtained experimentally by the shaking table test are compared with analytical findings using optimization technique with constraints. The results indicate that the level of liquid and section ratio of LCVA affect the characteristics of damping ratio and mass ratio. Damping and mass ratio increase as the section of vertical column of LCVA decreases, due to turbulence in the elbow of LCVA.

직류 아크 토치를 이용하여 열플라즈마를 발생시키는 방법은 전극의 구성에 따라 크게 비이송식(non-transferred)과 이송식(transferred)의 2가지 형태로 나눌 수 있다. 1950년대 H. Maecker 등에 의해 이론적 기초가 형성되기 시작한 이송식 아크 플라즈마 발생장치는 처리 대상물질을 전극으로 사용하여 양극에서의 에너지 전달을 직접 이용할 수 있으므로 열효율이 매우 높기 때문에 이를 이용한 고출력 토치에 관한 활발한 연구가 지속되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대기압 아르곤 자유연소아크 방전에 의해 발생되는 열플라즈마의 열유동 특성을 수치적으로 해석하기 위하여 아크 기둥의 온도, 압력 및 속도 특성을 Navier-Stokes 방정식과 Maxwell 방정식을 연계 계산하였다. 또한 아크-전극 상호작용(arc-electrode interaction) 모델링을 통한 양극(anode)인 처리 대상물질로의 에너지 플럭스 유입을 고려하여 전극 내부의 온도분포를 계산하였다. 해석결과를 검증하기 위하여 음극과 양극 사이 플라즈마 기둥(column)의 중심축 온도는 Haddad & Farmer(1984)의 실험데이터와 비교하였고, 양극으로의 에너지 플럭스 및 온도분포 데이터는 Bini 등(2006)의 실험 및 해석데이터와 비교하여 만족스런 일치를 확인하였다.

This study presents graphic-user interface computer program for optimal compensation of differential column shortening with high field applicability. The implemented system can perform both relative and mixed compensation while satisfying both performance and construction constraints. In the proposed system the shape of the structure before and after compensation can be checked graphically, and the results of compensation of each stories can be printed in drawings which can be directly used as the report of column shortening. The field-applicability of the implemented system was verified by applying it to the four reinforced concrete residental buildings of 61, 42, 49 and 53 stories where compensation of differential column shortening had already been performed. Using the implemented system, compensation can be performed easily with the various constraint conditions and was able to acquire rational compensation results for the cases where conventional method was not successful.

ATM망에서는 악의의 가입자가 협상된 대역폭 이상을 사용하여 발생하는 망의 폭주에 의해 선의의 가입자의 서비스 품질이 저하되는 것을 방지하기 위해 사용자 파라메터 감시를 수행한다. 그런데 사용자가 대역폭을 준수하여 셀을 전송한다고 하더라도 교환기, 다중화기둥을 거치면서 여러 연결의 셀들이 다중화 되면 CDV가 발생하여 사용자 파라메터 감시를 수행하는 장치에서 대역폭 위반으로 검출하여 셀이 손실되거나 셀 전달 우선 순위가 변경되어 서비스의 품질이 저하 될 수 있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 망의 장치는 셀을 출력할 때 장치에서 발생된 CDV를 보상하여 원래의 셀 스트림의 형태를 복원하여 전송함으로써 서비스 품질의 저하를 방지한다. 이를 스페이서라고 하는데, 본 논문에서는 이러한 스페이서의 구현 방식을 살펴보고, 메모리가 적게 사용되는 셀 도착 구동 방식의 스페이서 구조를 제안하고 실험을 통해서 그 성능을 평가하였다.

High strength concrete is a more effective material for columns subject to axial force and moment than for other structural elements. The purpose of this study is to review strength calculation methods for high strength concrete columus by comparison of analytical values and experimental results. The variables of column test under eccentric loading were concrete compressive strength, longitudinal steel ratio, and eccentricity of load. The tied column sections of 120×120mm and 210×210mm were tested and the eccentricity of load varied in the range from 0.16 times to 0.54 times the column depth. The analytical results using the stress-strain relationship to 0.54 times the column depth. The analytical results using the stress-strain relationship as well as the ACI's rectangular block, Zia's modified block, and the trapezoidal block are compared with experimentally obtained data, and discussed in this paper.

Studies on the second-order analysis of reinforced concrete columns have been chiefly dealt with symmetric section under uniaxial loading. In practical situations, however, columns are subjected to biaxial loadings. Therefore, for more accurate prediction of the behavior of concrete columns under biaxial loading, the interaction between bending moments of major and minor axes should be considered. Recently Kim & Lee proposed a numerical method of predicting the behavior of concrete columns under biaxial loading. In this paper, to investigate the behavior of concrete columns under biaxial loading and verify the validity of proposed method, a series of test were carried out for sixteen tied reinforced columns with 100${\times}$100mm square and 200${\times}$100mm rectangular sections under various loading conditions. The length of columns was 1,300mm and the concrete strength was 28MPa. The boundary conditions at the both ends were hinged and end eccentricities were equal(400mm). Proposed numerical analyses applied to the test piece were performed to predict behavior of concrete columns with square and rectangular sections under various loading conditions. Test results were also compared with those using the moment magnifier method in ACI code. The test results showed that the moment magnifier method is conservative.

In this study, the damage detection method is proposed for the rotational stiffness of connections in steel moment frames by using artificial neural network(ANN). The flexural moment of columns, natural frequencies, modeshapes are used for the input layer in ANN while the damage index, that signify the damage level, is used for the output layer in ANN. The 5-story steel moment frame as an example structure is used to generate the train and test data. Total number of damage scenarios considered is 829. From the results of application, it is shown that the proposed method can accurately estimate the location and level of damages.

Background: Replacing the ascending aorta is a standard surgical option for treating acute type A aortic dissection. But replacing the aortic arch has recently been reported as an acceptable procedure for this disease. We compared the effects of aortic arch replacement for treating acute type A aortic dissection with the effects of ascending aortic replacement. Material and Method: From 2002 to 2006, 25 patients undewent surgical treatment for acute type A aortic dissection, 12 patients undewent ascending aortic replacement and 13 patients underwent aortic arch replacement. Among the aortic arch group, an additional distal stent-graft was inserted during the operation in 5 patients. 19 patients (11 arch replaced patients and 8 ascending aortic replaced patients) were followed up at the out patient clinic for an average of $756{\pm}373$ days. All the patients undewent CT scanning and we analyzed their distal aortic segments. Result: 4 patients who underwent ascending aortic replacement died, so the overall mortality rate was 16%. Among the 11 long term followed-up arch replacement patients, 2 patients (18.1 %) developed distal aortic dilatation and one of them underwent thoracoabdominal aortic replacement later on. However, among the 8 the ascending aortic replaced patients, 5 patients (62.5%) developed distal aortic dilatation. Conclusion: Aortic arch replacement is one of the safe options for treating acute type A aortic dissection. Aortic arch replacement for treating acute type A aortic dissection could contribute to a reduced distal aortic dilatation rate and fewer secondary aortic procedures.
