Model tests on propped retaining walls were performed for the investigation of wall displacement, distribution of earth pressure, surface settlement and underground movement at various excavation stage in sand. The result of model tests on the trough of surface settlement showed considerable difference depending on the characteristic of wall stiffness, wall friction and soil condition. The location of maximum underground movement were found to be at range of 0.15H to 0. 1H(H: Final excavation depth). Effect of arching by the redistribution of earth pressure were closely related to the stiffness of wall as well as the soil condition. The wall displacement and earth pressure distribution were simulated by elasto - plastic beam analysis program and finite element method with GDHM model respectively. The result of elasto-plastic analysis showed some discrepancy on the wall displacement and earth pressure, but result of underground movement by FEM with various wall stiffness were in good agreement with the model tests.

A slab-column connection is susceptible to brittle punching shear failure, which may result in the necessity of shear reinforcement. In the present study, to investigate the earthquake resistance of newly developed lattice shear reinforcement, experimental study was performed for interior slab-column connections subjected to cyclic loading. For comparison, specimens with existing shear reinforcement method such as stud rail, shear band and stirrup were also tested. The test result showed that the structural capacity of the lattice shear reinforcement was superior to those of the existing methods and was greater than the code-specified strength. On the other hand, the existing methods did not significantly improve the shear strength of the specimens. The shear strengths of the existing methods were much less than the code-specified shear strength.

The benefits in using controlled delivery approaches include improved pharmacokinetic response, greater ability to localize the drung adjacent to the disease, and more control of local concentration at a lower total dosage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Minocline strip on chronic marginal periodontitis. Minocline Strip was applied in the periodontal pocket of 94 patients with a clinically diagnosed as a chronic marginal periodontitis, 4 sites for each patients with a 5mm probing pocket depth were selected in split mouth design and were divided into two group, ie., placebo group ($C_1$, $C_2$) and experimental group ($E_1$, $E_2$). Supragingival scaling and oral hygiene instruction were performed 1 week before experiment. Minocline Strip was applied on day 0 and 7, weekly, Clinical and microbiological tests were performed on day 0, 7, 14, 28 and 42. The results were as follows ; 1. Minocline Strip showed significant improvement on Chronic Marginal Periodontitis in 77 patients (82.0%) and improvement rate was more than 66.7% of all investigational items. 2. Only 6 patients complained mild pruritis during the early therapy but not needed discontinuence of the therapy. 3. The availability of Minocline Strip was 72 patients (76.6%) synthetically evaluating efficacy and safety. In conclusion, Minocline Strip appears to be effective and safe for the treatment of Chronic Marginal Periodontitis.

In this study, a structural optimal design of 10 MW composite blade was performed using bend-twist coupled(BTC) design concept. Bend-twist coupling of blade means the coupling behavior between the bending and torsional deflections due to the composite lamina with fiber angle biased from the blade longitudinal axis. This can potentially improve the overall performance of composite blade and reduce the dynamic loading. Parametric studies on layup angle, thickness and area of off-axis carbon UD were conducted to find the optimum coupling effect with weight reduction. Comparing the results of fatigue load analysis between conventional model and BTC applied model, the damage equivalent load(DEL) of blade root area were decreased about 3% in BTC model. To verify the BTC effect experimentally, a 1:29 scaled model was fabricated and the torsion at the tip under deflection behavior of blade stiffener model was measured by static load test.

In this study, squeal noise with respect to pressure variation is measured by a lab-scaled brake dynamometer and estimated by a complex finite element (FE) eigenvalue analysis. From the FE eigenvalue sensitivity analysis, unstable frequencies occur due to a mode-coupling mechanism and are found to change with variation in contact stiffness. In the experiment, squeal frequencies near 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 3.5 kHz, and 4 kHz are increased with pressure variation. The sensitivity of squeal modes to contact stiffness variation obtained from the FE analysis is shown to approximate the variation of squeal frequencies under pressure variation in the experiment.

We are exposed to video content and numerous information from digital signage such as convenience stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and elevators on buses and subways 365 days. However, so far, studies have focused solely on the technical effectiveness of digital signage or the consumer experience aspect of digital signage, and little has been done on the impact of teaser advertising on the intent of viewing. Through this study, we hope that the digital signage of convenience stores will develop into a differentiated digital signage area that provides diverse video content experiences to consumers and viewers and allows them to communicate, suggesting a direction as a research that shows that digital content (video) is now recognized as a product in an environment where demand for non-face-to-face and digital content is gradually increasing in 2020 after the global COVID 19.

Double split tee connection is a full strength-partial restrained connection that suitable for ordinary moment frame and special moment frame which demonstrates behavior characteristics depending on the stiffness ratio of columns and beams, changes in the geometric shape of the T-stub, number of fasteners and effect of panel zone. For the double split tee connection to ensure structurally safe behavior, it needs to exhibit sufficient strength, stiffness and ductile capacity. This study sought to investigate the effects of the moment-rotation angle relationship of the double split tee connection and to evaluate the initial rotational stiffness of the double split tee connection depending on changes in the geometric shape of the T-stub. To this end, two different double split tee connection specimens are experimented which designed to change geometric parameter values (${\alpha}^{\prime}$) of the T-stub, and a three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed.

An experimental research investigation of the fracture properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete is reported. Fibers used in this experiment were two types, monofilament and fibrillated polypropylene fibers. Fiber length was 19 mm, and volume fractions were 0, 1, 2, and 3%. Also, as initial notch depths influence the fracture properties of fiber reinforced concrete, the notch depth ratios by specimen height were 0.15, 0.30 and 0.45. The main objective of this experimental program is to obtain the load-deflection and the load-CMOD curves, to investigate the fracture properties of the polypropylene fiber reinforced concretes. Therefore, the flexural specimen testings on the four-point bending were conducted. Then, the load-load point displacement and the load-crack mouth opening displacement curves were measured. The effects of different volume fractions of the monofilament and the fibrillated polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete on the compressive strength, flexural strength and toughness, stress intensity factor, and fracture energy were investigated through the experimental results.

Recently, a growing attention is paid to the development of new construction materials. The fiber-reinforced concrete is recognized as one of the most promising new construction materials. A comprehensive experimental study was conducted to explore the mechanical behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete. The major variables in the experiment were the fiber contents and the lengths of steel fibers. The flexural, tensile, and compressive behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete were investigated. The present study shows that the strength and ductility are remarkably increased with on increase of fiber content. The rate of strength increase due to steel fibers was found to be the highest in tension, the middle in flexure, and the lowest in compression. This indicates that the steel fibers play a major role in increasing the tensile capacity. The present study gives a thorough examination on the mechanical behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete and allows more realistic use and design of steel fiber reinforced concrete.
