Adequate bone quality and stress distribution to the bone are of decisive importance for implant success. Even though the success rates of dental implants have been high, implant failures do occur. Overloading has been identified as a primary factor behind dental implant failure. The purpose of this study was to theoretically investigate the effect of two types of implants on the stress distribution in poor bone quality. Employing the finite element method, the study modeled a 4.1 mm diameter, 12.0 mm length implant placed in cortical or spongeous bone. A static loading of lOON was applied at the occlusal surface at 0, 30 degrees angle to the vertical axis of the implant. von Mises stresses concentrations in the supporting bone were analyzed with finite element analysis program. The results were as follows; 1. The stresses at the marginal bone were higher under buccal oblique load(30 degrees off of the long axis) than under vertical load. 2. Under buccal oblique load, the stresses were higher at the lingual marginal bone than at the buccal marginal bone, and the differences were almost the same. 3, Under vertical and oblique load, the stress was the highest at the marginal bone and lowest at the bone around apical portions of implant in cortical bone. 4, Under vertical load, Model 1 showed more effective stress distribution than Model 2 irrespective of bone types. On the other hand, Model 2 showed lower stress concentration than Model 1 under buccal oblique load.

Initial damage to a stud due to corrosion, fatigue, unexpected overloading, a weld defect or other factors could degrade the shear capacity of the stud. Based on typical push-out tests, a FEM model and theoretical formulations were proposed in this study. Six specimens with the same geometric dimensions were tested to investigate the effect of the damage degree and location on the static behavior and shear capacity of stud shear connectors. The test results indicated that a reduction of up to 36.6% and 62.9% of the section area of the shank could result in a dropping rate of 7.9% and 57.2%, respectively, compared to the standard specimen shear capacity. Numerical analysis was performed to simulate the push-out test and validated against test results. A parametrical study was performed to further investigate the damage degree and location on the shear capacity of studs based on the proposed numerical model. It was demonstrated that the shear capacity was not sensitive to the damage degree when the damage section was located at 0.5d, where d is the shank diameter, from the stud root, even if the stud had a significant reduction in area. Finally, a theoretical formula with a reduction factor K was proposed to consider the reduction of the shear capacity due to the presence of initial damage. Calculating K was accomplished in two ways: a linear relationship and a square relationship with the damage degree corresponding to the shear capacity dominated by the section area and the nominal diameter of the damaged stud. This coefficient was applied using Eurocode 4, AASHTO LRFD (2014) and GB50017-2003 (2003) and compared with the test results found in the literature. It was found that the proposed method produced good predictions of the shear capacity of stud shear connectors with initial damage.

본 논문에서는 Mobile IPTV의 서비스를 위한 네트워크 선택 알고리즘을 제안하고 처리속도가 낮은 단말기의 부하를 줄이기 위한 계층별 처리 시스템을 구현하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 새로운 사용자가 네트워크에 접속할 때 잔여 대역폭, 네트워크 비용, 신호세기를 이용하는 계산식에서 나온 우선순위 값으로 네트워크를 선택한다. 처리속도가 낮은 단말기의 응용계층에서 네트워크 선택과 TV서비스 제공을 모두하면 시스템 부하로 서비스의 품질이 낮아지게 되므로 네트워크 선택과 TV 서비스기능을 계층별로 나누어 처리하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 실험결과 사용자가 직접 네트워크를 선택하는 방법에서는 대역폭 할당을 위한 대기시간이 존재하고, 대역폭을 모두 소진한 경우 대역폭 할당을 위한 대기 시간이 길어지는 반면 본 논문에서 제안한 우선순위를 이용한 네트워크 선택 알고리즘을 이용할 경우 여러 네트워크 중 상태가 좋은 네트워크를 선택하기 때문에 데이터 전송속도가 평균적으로 유지가 되고 대역폭 할당 대기시간이 낮아지는 것을 확인하였다.

In past years, numerous problems have vexed engineers with regard to buckling, corrosion, bending, and overloading in damaged steel structures. This article sets out to investigate the possible effects of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and steel plates for retrofitting deficient steel square hollow section (SHS) columns. The effects of axial loading, stiffness, axial displacement, the position and shape of deficient region on the length of steel SHS columns, and slenderness ratio are examined through a detailed parametric study. A total of 14 specimens was tested for failure under axial compression in a laboratory and simulated using finite element (FE) analysis based on a numerical approach. The results indicate that the application of CFRP sheets and steel plates also caused a reduction in stress in the damaged region and prevented or retarded local deformation around the deficiency. The findings showed that a deficiency leads to reduced load-carrying capacity of steel SHS columns and the retrofitting method is responsible for the increase in the load-bearing capacity of the steel columns. Finally, this research showed that the CFRP performed better than steel plates in compensating the axial force caused by the cross-section reduction due to the problems associated with the use of steel plates, such as in welding, increased weight, thermal stress around the welding location, and the possibility of creating another deficiency by welding.

Civil structures should be designed with the lowest cost and longest lifetime possible and without service failure. The efficient and sustainable use of materials in building design and construction has always been at the forefront for civil engineers and environmentalists. Timber is one of the best contenders for these purposes particularly in terms of aesthetics; fire protection; strength-to-weight ratio; acoustic properties and seismic resistance. In recent years, timber has been used in commercial and taller buildings due to these significant advantages. It should be noted that, since the launch of the modern building standards and codes, a number of different structural systems have been developed to stabilise steel or concrete multistorey buildings, however, structural analysis of high-rise and multi-storey timber frame buildings subjected to lateral loads has not yet been fully understood. Additionally, timber degradation can occur as a result of biological decay of the elements and overloading that can result in structural damage. In such structures, the deficient members and joints require strengthening in order to satisfy new code requirements; determine acceptable level of safety; and avoid brittle failure following earthquake actions. This paper investigates performance assessment and damage assessment of older multi-storey timber buildings. One approach is to retrofit the beams in order to increase the ductility of the frame. Experimental studies indicate that Sprayed Fibre Reinforced Polymer (SFRP) repairing/retrofitting not only updates the integrity of the joint, but also increases its strength; stiffness; and ductility in such a way that the joint remains elastic. Non-linear finite element analysis ('pushover') is carried out to study the behaviour of the structure subjected to simulated gravity and lateral loads. A new global index is re-assessed for damage assessment of the plain and SFRP-retrofitted frames using capacity curves obtained from pushover analysis. This study shows that the proposed method is suitable for structural damage assessment of aged timber buildings. Also SFRP retrofitting can potentially improve the performance and load carrying capacity of the structure.

본 논문에서는 ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 기반 무선 센서 네트워크와 TCP/IP 기반 네트워크를 서로 연결할 수 있는 웹-센서 게이트웨이의 아키택처를 제안한다. 제안한 게이트웨이의 주요 역할은 인터넷을 통하여 센서 노드에게 질의 또는 명령을 내리고 센서 데이터를 취득하도록 도와주는 기능이다. 다만, 인터넷과 센서 네트워크의 통신 프로토콜은 서로 불통함으로 양방향 프로토콜 변환이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이 변환 기능을 두 통신 프로토콜 APP 계층 위에 위치하도록 설계하여 인터넷 어프리케이션과 ZigBee 어프리케이션이 양 방향으로 변환 될 수 있도록 하였다. CGI 프로그램을 사용하여 변환 계층을 구현하였으며 인터넷의 사용자가 언제 어디서나 웹 페이지를 열어서 검색 요청이나 명령 등을 센서 노드에 전달할 수 할 수 있는 방식을 채택하였다. 이종 네트워크 연결을 위하여 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 센서 노드에 오버레잉 하는 기법도 가능하나 구현의 복잡성, 에너지 효율, 통신 오버헤드 측면에서 제한적이다. 부족한 자원을 가진 센서 노드 환경에서는 본 논문에서 제안한 변환 기반 웹-센서 게이트웨이 방식이 이종 통신 프로토콜 연결 문제를 해결하는 비교적 효과적이며 우수한 방법임을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of anchorage systems and palatal coverage of denture base on load transfer in maxillary implant-supported overdenture. Material and methods: Maxillary implant -supported overdentures in which 4 implants were placed in the anterior region of edentulous maxilla were fabricated, and stress distribution patterns in implant supporting bone in the case of unilateral vertical loading on maxillary right first molar were compared with each other depending on various types of anchorage system and palatal coverage extent of denture base using three-dimensional photoelastic stress analysis. Two photoelastic overdenture models were fabricated in each anchorage system to compare with the palatal coverage extent of denture base, as a result we got eight models : Hader bar using clips(type 1), cantilevered Hader bar using clips(type 2), Hader bar using clip and ERA attachments(type 3), cantilevered milled-bar using swivel-latchs and frictional pins(type 4). Result: 1. In all experimental models, the highest stress was concentrated on the most distal implant supporting bone on loaded side. 2. In every experimental models with or without palatal coverage of denture base, maximum fringe orders on the distal ipsilateral implant supporting bone in an ascending order is as follows; type 3, type 1, type 4, and type 2. 3. Each implants showed compressive stresses in all experimental models with palatal coverage of denture base, but in the case of those without palatal coverage of denture base, tensile stresses were observed in the distal contralateral implant supporting bone. 4. In all anchorage system without palatal coverage of denture base, higher stresses were concentrated on the most distal implant supporting bone on loaded side. 5. The type of anchorage system affected in load transfer more than palatal coverage extent of the denture base. Conclusion: To the results mentioned above, in the case of patients with unfavorable biomechanical conditions such as not sufficient number of supporting implants, short length of the implant, and poor bone quality, selecting a resilient type attachment or minimizing the distal cantilevered bar is considered to be an appropriate method to prevent overloading on implants by reducing cantilever effect and gaining more support from the distal residual ridge.

This experiment was conducted to investigate available extraction capacity and potential mobility of heavy metal according to the distribution property and contamination level of heavy metals in soils and to suggest a reform measure of soil environment assessment methodology applied with soil quality and the official soil heavy metal test methods in domestic and foreign countries. The soils were collected from the natural forest paddy with long-term application of same type fertilizer, and paddies near metal mine and industrial complex. The post-treatment methods of soil were partial extraction, acid digestion and sequential extraction methods. For the heavy metal contents with different soil properties, it was shown that their natural forest and paddy soil were slightly low and similar to the general paddy soil, while their paddies near metal mine and industrial complex were higher than the standard level of Soil Environment Protection Act. Heavy metal concentrations in the soils with different soil properties had difference between $HNO_3\;and\;HNO_3+HCl$ extractant by US-EPA 3051a method. There were highly significant positive relationships in both two methods. It was appeared that the higher extractable concentration ratio with 0.1N-HCl to total heavy metal content with $HNO_3+HCl$ extractant the greater total heavy metal content. There were highly significant positive correlationship between total heavy metal content and extractable content with 0.1N-HCl. For extractable capacity of soil extractable solution compared to the total heavy metal content it was appeared that it extractable method with 0.1N-HCl was higher than those with EDTA and DTPA. In extractable ratio with 0.1N-HCl in the contaminated paddy soils near mine and industrial complex, it was shown that the lower soil pH, the higher total heavy metal content. The order of a potential mobility coefficient by distribution of heavy metal content with ie different typies in the soil was Cd>Ni>Zn>Cu>Pb. It could be known that contamination characteristics of heavy metals with different types of soils were affected by different heavy metal components, contamination degree and soil chemical properties, and heavy metal concentration with different extractable methods had great variations with adjacent environment. To be compared with assessment methodology of soil environment impact at domestic and foreign countries with our results, it might be considered that there was necessary to make a single analysis method based on total heavy metal content with environmental overloading concept because of various analysis methods for total heavy metal content and present analysis method with great variation according to soil environment. In spite of showing higher concentration of heavy metal with acidic digestion than the extractable method, it might be considered that there is need to be adjusted the national standard of soil heavy metal contamination.

가축분뇨는 2018년 말 기준으로 연간 총 51,013천 톤이 발생하였고 그 중의 91.2%인 46,530천 톤이 퇴비화(40,647천 톤)나 액비화(5,884천 톤) 방법에 의해 처리되었다. 현재 우리나라의 가축분뇨 처리 관련 정책방향은 가축분뇨를 퇴비화나 액비화 방법을 적용하여 비료자원화 한 후 농경지에 유기성 비료로서 환원한다는 것이고, 이 정책은 가축분뇨 처리와 영양물질 순환 측면에서 그 효과가 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 지난 수십 년 동안 지속적으로 감소하는 농경지 면적과 환경관련 제도의 변천상황을 고려하면 향후에 가축분 퇴비의 시용에 대한 제한이 강화될 우려 있다. 지역적인 양분 과잉발생 현상, 양분관리제 그리고 지자체별 가축 사육두수 제한조항과 같은 환경관련 제도 등이 가축분뇨 처리 및 자원화에 난제요인으로 작용하게 될 우려가 있다. 이에 더해 가축분뇨로부터 유래된 영양물질이 주요 댐의 상류에 위치한 지류로 유입될 수도 있을 것이라는 일부의 견해도 존재한다. 특히 최근 들어서는 가축분뇨 퇴비에서 미세먼지가 발생된다는 문제까지 제기되기도 했다. 이렇듯 가축분뇨 퇴비화에 대한 일반의 관심이 높아지고 있어서 새로운 방식의 가축분뇨 처리기술 개발의 필요성이 높아진 상황이다. 특히 소는 타 축종에 비해 마리당 분뇨발생량이 많아 우분처리 관련 신기술 개발은 그 효과가 매우 클 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우분을 고체연료원으로서 사용시의 효과를 분석하기 위하여 우분펠릿의 연소과정에서 나타나는 특성을 조사하였다. 연소실험 결과 연소실의 온도가 약 $300^{\circ}C$ 내외에 도달했을 때 우분펠릿의 무게감소가 급격하게 나타나기 시작하였다. 우분펠릿의 열분해 과정에서 생성된 열분해가스중의 수소와 메탄 그리고 일산화탄소 농도는 각각 6.65~11.62%, 0.58~1.54% 그리고 11.47~14.07% 수준이었다.
