The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of intraoral temperature changes on the orthodontic force level of a superelastic nickel-titanium alloy wire. Methods: Nickel-titanium archwires of $0.016"{\times}0.022"$ thickness were tested with a three point bending test setup, and temperature changes were applied. The force level changes according to temperature changes were measured at a 1.5 mm deflection during the loading phase and a 1.5 mm deflection during the unloading phase from a deflection to 3.1mm. Ten cycles of thermal cycling from baseline $(37^{\circ}C)$ to cold $(20^{\circ}C)$ or hot $(50^{\circ}C)$temperature were applied. Results: Alter thermal cycling, the force level during the loading phase decreased and the force level during the unloading phase increased even after the temperature was changed to the initial $37^{\circ}C$. Conclusions: The results suggest that the orthodontic force level can not return to the initial force level after temperature changes. When applying superelastic nickel-titanium archwires, we must consider that a lighter force than the loading force and a heavier force than the unloading force will be applied after intraoral temperature changes caused by eating and drinking.

원자력 발전소 배관계통에 파단전 누설 (LBB) 설계개념의 적용을 위해서는 원자로 가동온도에서의 재료의 파괴저항성 평가가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 원자로의 1차 냉각계통배관의 엘보우 소재로 사용되는 SA516-Gr.70 강의 파괴저항성에 미치는 DSA (Dynamic Strain Aging, 동적변형시효) 영향을 고찰하였다. 파괴저항성 평가를 위해 원자로 가동온도를 포함한 상온~50$0^{\circ}C$ 온도영역에서 준정적 하중에서부터 지진 하중 정도의 동적 하중까지 하중속도를 달리하여 직류전위차법 (DCPD) 이용하여 J-R 시험을 행하였다. J-R 시험결과, SA516-Gr.70 강은 특정한 온도와 하중속도의 조합에서 파괴저항성이 크게 떨어지는 양상을 보였으며, 낮은 파괴저항성을 나타내는 온도는 하중속도가 증가함에 따라 높은 온도쪽으로 이동하는 전형적인 DSA 감수성을 보였다. 인장시험을 통해서도 큰 폭의 serration 이 관찰되었으며 SA516-Gr.70 강에서 파괴저항성의 변화와 DSA 현상과의 연관성을 고찰하였다.

본 연구는 주증기배관으로 사용되고 있는 SA106. Gr.C의 모재와 용접계에 대해서 파괴인성에 미치는 온도와 하중속도의 영향을 살펴보기 위해서 다양한 온도와 하중속도에서 J-R 시험 및 인장시험을 수행하였다. 두 재료 모두 동적변형시효의 영향을 받고 있는 온도영역에서 약 40% 정도의 파괴인성 감소가 관찰되었으며, 하중속도에 따른 파괴인성 감소영역은 serration과 인장강도 증가 영역의 하중속도 의존성과 일치하였다. 원자력발전소 운전온도에서 모재와 용접재 모두 하중선변위속도가 4.0mm/min 일 때 파괴인성치의 최저를 보였으며, 하중속도가 증가함에 따라 증가하여 동적하중속도(800, 40mm/min)일 때 최대를 보였다. 모재와 용접재를 비교하면 용접재에서 serration이 뚜렸했고, 보다 넓은 온도영역에서 관찰되었다. 또한 인장강도의 증가가 보다 고온에서 형성되었다. 이러한 특성은 용접재가 모재에 비해 냉각률이 크고 미세한 결정입으로 이루어져있으며, 망간의 함량이 높기 때문으로 판단된다.

One of the most important factors accounting for the structural capacity of concrete pavement is load transfer efficiency. Load transfer efficiency is affected by slab temperature gradient, construction of dowel bars, degree of aging, and crack width. The purpose of this study is to determine the patterns of load transfer efficiency of concrete pavement; to determine the factors that affect the load transfer efficiency; and to present the proper measuring method of load transfer efficiency. As a result from this study, load transfer efficiency was affected primarily by the average temperature in concrete slab. Load transfer efficiency decreased with decreasing temperature and increasing crack width. For the sections with dowel bars, there were little differences in load transfer efficiency regardless of temperature changes. For the sections without dowel bars, however, there on great losses of load transfer efficiency at low temperatures. For the old pavement, even in the sections with dowel bars, the load transfer efficiency reduced as the temperature dropped For the sections in this study, 1.4% reduction of the load transfer efficiency was observed for each $1^{\circ}C$ drop in the slab temperature.

In rapid cycle construction, RC structure which is not cured fully can be loaded with construction load and this construction load can influence on the safety of construction and cracks on slabs. Therefore, to reduce the term of construction, the safety of construction and prevention of cracks should be assured against construction load. In the previous study, temperature load can significantly influence on the behavior of structure under construction. However, existing construction sequential analysis or design code do not consider temperature load reasonably. In the present study, through construction sequential analysis method using FE analysis, the behavior of structure under construction was analyzed according to temperature changes. According to the results of analysis, as the temperature falls, shoring load drops and the temperature rises, shoring load rises. These variations of shoring load can affect the safety of construction. Moment of slab goes up by fall in temperature. This increase of moment can cause cracks on the slab. Therefore to assure the safety on construction and prevent cracks on slabs, temperature load has to be considered reasonably in construction sequential analysis.

The environmental load of concrete pavement can be categorized by temperature and moisture loads, which mean temperature distribution, and drying shrinkage and creep in the concrete slab. In this study, a method calculating the environmental load essential to mechanistic design of airport concrete pavement was developed. First, target area and design slab thickness were determined. And, the concrete temperature distribution with slab depth was predicted by a pavement temperature prediction program to calculate equivalent linear temperature difference. The concrete drying shrinkage was predicted by improving an existing model to calculate differential shrinkage equivalent linear temperature difference considering regional relative humidity. In addition, the stress relaxation was considered in the drying shrinkage. Eventually, the equivalent linear temperature difference due to temperature and the differential shrinkage equivalent linear temperature difference due to moisture were combined into the total equivalent linear temperature difference as terminal environmental load. The environmental load of eight civilian and two military airports which represent domestic regional weather conditions were calculated and compared by the method developed in this study to show its application.

The present study investigates the influences of vehicle induced loads on the thermal buckling behavior of straight and curved continuous welded rail (CWR) tracks. Quasi-static loads model is assumed to determine the uplift region, which occurs due to the vertical track deflection induced by wheel loads of vehicle. The lateral loads of vehicle induced by weight, the speed, the superelevation and curvature of track, and other dynamic vehicle track interaction, are included in the ratio of lateral to vertical vehicle load. Parametric numerical analyses are perfomed to calculate the upper and lower critical buckling temperatures of CWR tracks, and the comparison between the results of this work and the previous results without vehicle is also included.

This study evaluates the load-carrying capacity of a thermal prestressed steel beam with an eccentric bracket. The steel beam that is proposed in this study has an eccentrically installed cover plate through application of the eccentric bracket. The eccentric bracket helps the steel beam achieve greater sectional stiffness and more efficiently induces prestress. A material non-linear characteristic applied finite element analysis was also conducted to check the validity of the experiments. The results of this study showed that the structural stiffness, yield load, and ultimate strength of the TPSM-applied steel beam with the eccentric bracket increased due to the eccentricity of the cover plate.

강구조 부재의 내화성능평가를 위한 비재하가열시험은 강재 허용온도로 평가되고 있으나, 강재의 허용온도 설정은 H형강 부재의 최대하중로 평가되는 한계용도와 고온에서의 강소재의 허용응력도 능력으로 설정되었으므로 실지 작용되는 강구조 부재의 하중조건과 다양한 부재의 종류 등의 관점에서 허용온도의 적용은 다소 불합리한 점이 있다고 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강구조 건축물에서의 부재에 작용하는 하중에 따른 내화성능의 차이를 보이고 이에 따른 합리적인 내화성능 평가방법을 제안하고자 한다.

The intention of this paper is to provide realistic values of design thermal loads applicable to composite box girder bridges on the basis of the statistical analysis of long-term measured temperature data. For this purpose, temperatures were recorded at a newly constructed composite box girder bridge during about 20 months. Before analyzing the extreme values, major thermal loading parameters that characterize the temperature profile are defined, and a seasonal behavior of those is examined in detail. The limit distributions of the thermal loading parameters are then determined by the tail-equivalence method, and the thermal loading parameters corresponding to selected return period are calculated. Finally, the results are compared to the specifications suggested in a current design code for thermal loads, and it is concluded that the current design code is unsuitable for representing the self-equilibrated thermal stresses in composite bridges, and the horizontal temperature difference which is not suggested in current design code should be taken Into account in particular cases.
