Background: Cervical epidural block (CEB) is an effective intervention for managing cervical radicular pain. This study aimed to investigate the current status of performing CEB in South Korea. Methods: Pain physicians affiliated with the Korean Pain Society were asked to complete anonymous questionnaires regarding CEB between September and October 2022. The questionnaire consisted of 24 questions assessing the current status and methods of CEB in detail. Results: Of the 198 surveys collected, 171 physicians (86.4%) reported performing CEB. Among those, the majority (94.7%) used fluoroscopy during the procedure. The paramedian interlaminar (IL) approach was the most preferred method (50.3%). Respondents performing fluoroscopic-guided IL CEB were categorized into two groups based on clinical experience: those with ≤10 years of experience (≤10-year group, n = 91) and those with >10 years of experience (>10-year group, n = 71). The proportion of physicians obtaining informed consent in the ≤10-year group and >10-year group was 50.5% and 56.3%, respectively. When entering the epidural space during IL CEB, the contralateral oblique view was the second most frequently used in both groups (≤10-year group, 42.9%; >10-year group, 29.6%). In targeting the upper cervical lesions (C3-4), the proportion of respondents who used an IL space higher than C6-7 was 17.6% in the ≤10-year group and 29.5% in the >10-year experience group. Conclusions: This study demonstrated variability in the CEB technique used by pain physicians in South Korea. The findings highlight the need for education on informed consent and techniques to enhance safety.

This paper describes an experimental investigation on the influence of concrete strength on tension stiffening behavior. Total 6 direct tension specimens were tested with variation of concrete strengths such as 260, 620, and 820kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$. These test results were compared with tension stiffening models of CEB-FIP Model Code. It was appeared that, as concrete strength was increasing, CEB-FIP models estimated much more tension stiffening than these test results. As the result, it would be said that the influence of concrete strength on tension stiffening was not properly taken account for in CEB-FIP model.

최근들어 구조물공사에 적용되는 콘크리트가 고강도화 되어가는 추세로서 크리프와 같은 콘크리트의 역학적 거동에 대한 기존 설계예측식에 대한 전면적인 검토가 필요한 시점이다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 현행 국내 철근콘크리트 구조설계기준상의 크리프계수 예측 모델식에 대한 강도대별 적용 타당성을 검토하기 위한 일환으로 기존의 제안 모델식인 ACI 209R, CEB-FIP MC90 및 EC2 모델식을 검토 하였으며, 실험결과와 비교검토를 수행하였다. 모델식 검토결과, CEB-FIP MC90 모델의 개선식인 EC2 모델이 고강도대의 콘크리트에 대한 크리프계수를 보다 현실적으로 예측함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 실험결과와도 상대적으로 좋은 상관성을 보임을 확인하였다.

In this study, response of reversibility of membrane flux during chemically enhanced backwash (CEB) to changes in filtration time, filtration flux and coagulant concentration dosing during ultrafiltration (UF) process was investigated using a regression model. The model was developed via empirical modelling approach using response surface methodology. In developing the model, statistically designed UF experiments were conducted and the results compared with the model output. The results showed that the performance of CEB, evaluated in terms of the reversibility of the membrane flux, depends strongly on the changes in coagulant concentration dosage and the filtration flux. Also the response of the reversibility of membrane flux during CEB is independent of the filtration time. The variance ratio, VR << $F_{value}$ and $R^2$ = 0.98 obtained from the cross-validation experiments indicate perfect agreement of the model output with experimental results and also testify to the validity and suitability of the model to predict reversibility of the membrane flux during CEB in UF operation.

In this study, the effect of chemically enhanced backwash(CEB) coping with algal(Heterosigma Akashiwo) inflow was evaluated in the seawater desalination pretreatment process using ceramic membrane. In order to confirm the possibility of long-term filtration operation, the recovery rate of transmembrane pressure(TMP) due to the CEB using NaOCl was examined. When the membrane flow rate was 83.3 LMH, the TMP was maintained within 200 kPa for 84 hours in seawater influent. As the algal counts of 30,000 cell/mL were injected into the influent of seawater, however, the TMP rapidly increased and exceed maximum value. Membrane fouling caused by the algae was very poorly recovered by usual physical backwash. The CEB was performed for 30 min(3 min circulation / 27 min immersion) with 300 mg/L of NaOCl. As a result of the CEB application, it was possible to maintain a stable operating of filtration during 10 days and the average recovery rate of TMP by the CEB was 98.1%. It has been confirmed that the CEB using NaOCl is very effective in removal of membrane fouling by algae, resulted in stable membrane filtration for the long-term operation.

프리스트레스트 콘크리트 사장교는 재료의 특성상 크리프 및 건조수축 등에 의한 장기거동의 영향을 크게 받는다. 이 연구에서는 콘크리트 구조물의 장기거동 예측에 일반적으로 이용되는 CEB-FIP모델과 ACI 모델을 예제 교량에 적용하여 상대습도의 변화에 따른 영향을 알아보았다. 주형 모멘트의 경우 CEB-FIP 모델이 ACI 모델보다 상대습도 변화에 대해 더 큰 영향을 받으며 영향도도 경우에 따라서는 무시할 수 없을 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동일 조건에서도 두 모델간 장기거동이 일부 단면에서는 비교적 크게 차이가 났다. 따라서, 장기거동에 대한 수치해석 결과는 재료시험과 예측모텔간의 영향 인자들에 대 한 민감도 분석을 거친 후에 보완하여 적용할 필요가 있다고 본다.

콘크리트 깊은 보의 전단강도 산정을 위해 현행 미국콘크리트학회(ACI) 및 캐나다표준규격협회(CSA), 유럽콘크리트위원회(CEB-FIP)의 설계기준은 스트럿-타이 모델을 이용할 것을 제안하고 있지만 설계의 품질이 설계자가 구성한 트러스 모델 적합성에 크게 좌우된다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 내부 트러스 모델에 따른 현행 ACI, CSA 및 CEB-FIP의 콘크리트 깊은 보 설계기준의 타당성을 홍성걸 등에 의해 제안된 콘크리트 소성학에 근거한 전단강도식의 예측치와 비교함으로써 평가한다. 비교 결과 ACI, CSA 및 CEB-FIP의 스트럿-타이 모델에 의해 설계된 깊은 보의 경우 내부 트러스 모델이 전단강도 예측에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 CEB-FIP의 경우 가장 높은 스트럿 강도 예측치를 보였다.

This study was aimed at ultrafiltration (UF) as a pretreatment before reverse osmosis (RO) within the scheme of hybrid reverse osmosis-multistage flush (RO-MSF) desalination. Seawater at elevated temperature (after MSF heat-exchangers) was used as a feed in this process. The pretreatment system was represented as a set of functionally-linked technological segments such as: UF filtration, backwashing, chemical- enhanced backwashing, cleaning, waste disposal, etc. The process represents the sequences of operating cycles. The cycle, in turn, consists of the following unit operations: filtration, backwashing and chemical-enhanced backwashing (CEB). Quantitative assessment was based on the following indicators: normalized permeability, transmembrane pressure, specific energy and water consumption, specific waste generation. UF pre-treatment is accompanied by the following waste streams: $W1=1.19{\times}10$ power of $-2m^3$ (disposed NaOCl with 0.0044% wt.)/$m^3$ (filtrate); $W2=5.95{\times}10$ power of $-3m^3$ (disposed $H_2SO_4$ with 0.052% wt.)/$m^3$(filtrate); $W3=7.26{\times}10$ power of $-2m^3$ (disposed sea water)/$m^3$ (filtrate). Specific energy consumption is $1.11{\times}10$ power of $-1kWh/m^3$ (filtrate). The indicators evaluated over the cycles with conventional (non-chemical) backwashing were compared with the cycles accompanied by CEB. A positive impact of CEB on performance indicators was demonstrated namely: normalized UF resistance remains unchanged within the regime accompanied by CEB, whereas the lack of CEB results in 30% of its growth. Those quantitative indicators can be incorporated into the target function for solving different optimization problems. They can be used in the software for optimisation of operating regimes or in the synthesis of optimal flow- diagram. The cycle characteristics, process parameters and water quality data are attached.

이 연구의 목적은 중량 자철석 콘크리트의 건조수축 및 자기건조수축의 평가이다. 이를 위한 주요변수는 결합재 대비 플라이애쉬의 치환률 5~35% 총 5배합이 수행되었다. 측정된 건조수축 변형률은 CEB-FIP와 Yang et al.의 제안모델과 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 건조수축 변형률 및 자기 건조수축 변형률은 플라이애쉬의 치환율이 15% 이상에서 그 치환율이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. CEB-FIP 제안모델과 실험값의 비교는 CEB-FIP의 예측값이 약 1.2배 이상 높게 나타났으며, 이러한 경향은 재령이 증가함에 따라 현저하였다. 반면, Yang et al.의 모델은 자철석 중량콘크리트의 건조수축 변형률을 잘 예측하였다.

To investigate and predict the long-term time-dependent behavior, such as creep, shrinkage, and relaxation of PS strands, and prestress loss in prestressed steel-concrete composite beams, named Precom, full-scale tests were conducted and the collected data were compared with those obtained from the two proposed analytical models. The combined effective modulus method (EMM)-empirical model proposed with a flowchart considered the creep effect to determine the prestress loss. Conversely, the age-adjusted effective modulus method (AEMM) with CEB-FIP equation was developed to account for the concrete aging. The results indicated that the AEMM with CEB-FIP model predicts the long-term behavior of Precom effectively.
