Seismic design forces for bridge components may be determined by modifying elastic member forces of design earthquakes using appropriate response modification factors according to the national design code of bridges Modeling technique of pile foundation system is one of the important parameters which greatly affects the results in the process of the elastic seismic analysis of a bridge system with pile foundation. In this paper, a approximate and simplified modeling technique of a pile foundation system for the practical purposes is presented. The modeling technique is based on the stiffnesses of pile foundation during earthquake. The horizontal stiffnesses are determined from the resistance-deflection curves derived from the results of dynamic field tests using cyclic loads and the vertical stiffness includes the effects of the end bearing capacities and side friction of piles as well as the pile compliances under the expected vertical load level. The applicability of the proposed technique has been validated through the some example bridge analyses.

The finite element analysis for optimizing a mirror system consisting of a large-diameter mirror and flexures requires numerous, repetitive calculations and corrections of the actual model to satisfy the given design conditions. In general, modification of this real model is conducted by reconfiguring nodes of the elements. The reconfiguration is very time-consuming work, to fix the continuity of each of the newly formed component nodes at the interfaces. But the process is a very important factor in determining the analysis time. To save time in modeling and actual computation, and to attain faster convergence, we present a new opto-mechanical analysis using non-shared node connections at each of the interfaces of the optical components. By comparing the results between the new element model and a conventional element model with shared node connections, we found that the opto-mechanical performance was almost the same, but the time to reach the given condition was drastically reduced.

It is aimed at providing a guide for effective ERP implementation strategy in view of the need for differentiation and cost advantage strategy from competitors in introducing ERP centered on SMEs. The results show that differentiation and cost superiority and service quality are dependent on the introduction performance and mediating effect. First, the differentiation or cost advantage strategy supports the previous research results in financial performance. However, in the differentiation strategies, only the non-financial aspects were noted. Second, the differentiation and cost advantage strategy were analyzed to have financial performance only in the assurance of service quality factor and the remaining service quality was not significant in the introduction performance. Third, the mediating effect of consulting service quality was analyzed in terms of differentiation or cost advantage Did not do it. In conclusion, system construction is different from financial perspective in terms of construction strategy. In service quality factor, it affects the confidence that supplier provides, knowledge and confidence, and ability to give faith.

In this study, centrifuge tests were performed to investigate the effect of the lateral load-moment combination on the p-y curves for 7 m-diameter monopiles installed in sand for offshore wind turbine. For the objectives, a centrifuge testing system was developed and tests were conducted at an acceleration of 68.83 g using well-instrumented model monopiles under two different lateral load-moment combinations simulated by different loading heights: 1 and 5 times monopile diameter from the ground surface. The sand was prepared as medium loose sand. Based on the centrifuge test results, the experimental p-y curves were evaluated and compared with previous literatures including API codes. The experimental results reveal that the p-y curves were little influenced by the combination of lateral load and moment. It was also found that the embedded length affects p-y curves.

Various process piping usually carries out high flammable and explosible gas under high pressure and high temperature. Due to frequent change of design and structure it becomes more complicated and compactly located. The safety management level is relatively low since it is considered as simply designed component. In this study a safety assessment procedure is proposed for complicated piping system around a mixing drum in which natural gas and by-product gases were mixed. According to ASME code, pipe stress analysis was conducted for determining design margin at some key locations of the piping. These high stress locations can be used as major inspection points for managing the pipe integrity. Sensitivity analysis with outside temperature of the pipe and support constraint condition. Possible effect of hydroen gas to the pipe steel during the previous use of the by-product gas was also discussed.

Evaluation of accurate design moments in two directions is a primary concern in designing R/C Slab. For this purpose, the use of finite element method utilizing isoparametric plate element is proposed. An example of the simply supported slab shows that the results agree well wth those from elastic plate theory throughout the span. The finite element solutions are also compared with those from equivalent frame method in a flat plate example. It is indicated that the distribution of total moment through the width of design strip using the ACI coefficients is unreasonable. In contrary to this, for the same strip model, the finite element method gives accurate moments in two directions. The proposed method can be applied to any geometric configuration of the slab system, thus the approach is considered to be much advantageous and improved one compared with existing methods.

In this paper, the development of trench shield machine for near-surface railway construction were presented. The Near-surface railway can be constructed by cut and cover construction method, because it is installed at the depth of 5~7 m below roads. The cut and cover construction method mostly use temporary supports. The limitation of the cut and cover method is high installation cost and long construction period. To overcome these disadvantages, development of the trench shield machine is proposed and expected to shorten the construction time and cost of near-surface railway system. The sliding retaining wall of trench shield equipment replaces the role of temporary support (solider piles and lagging) and excavator equiped to the bottom front of the machine shorten the excavation time. This paper deals with design of the bit attached to the excavator and required capacity of the motor.

This paper examines relationships among empowerment, nice delivery levels, and mediated variables. 1 chose the job satisfaction and commitment to the organization. The analysis of mediated effect tested mediation using the three-step mediated regression approach(Baron & Kenny, 1986). Data were collected by 235 full time employees. The results of regression analysis is as follows: First, empowerment of hotel employees affects Job satisfaction. Secondly, empowerment of hotel employees affects commitments to the organization. Thirdly, empowerment of hotel employees affects service delivery levels. The results of three-step mediated regression supported mediated effects between service delivery levels and its antecedents. The result of the study implies that empowerment is a crucial factor in the explanation of service delivery levels and hotel managers are able to motivate employees' service delivery levels by paying more attentions to employees' job satisfaction and commitment to the organization.

Pharmaceutical use accounts for a great part of articles and papers on crosslinking of polymers. Crosslinking of polymers used for tissue engineering and drug delivery respects non-cytotoxicity and in situ gelling. The crosslinking of polymers is aimed not only at the improvement of modulus, chemical resistance, and thermal resistance, but also at endowing them with such functions as metal adsorption, antifouling, and ion exchange via crosslinked segments. Smart polymers responding to environmental change, and cosslinking mediated by light, enzyme, natural compound and in aqueous medium in consideration of environment are being studied. Developing new polymeric materials is essential along with the pharmaceutics aiming at the longevity of 120 years old. Functionalization and property adjustment of polymers through crosslinking will be done more delicately. Hydrogels will be focused on injectable and in situ gel forming. In the coating industry crosslinking system with low non-toxicity and low energy consumption will be developed in consideration of workers and environment.
