This paper presents the development of specialized software for annotating volume-of-interest on ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT images with the goal of facilitating the studies and diagnosis of head and neck cancer (HNC). To achieve an efficient annotation process, we employed the SE-Norm-Residual Layer-based U-Net model. This model exhibited outstanding proficiency to segment cancerous regions within ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT scans of HNC cases. Manual annotation function was also integrated, allowing researchers and clinicians to validate and refine annotations based on dataset characteristics. Workspace has a display with fusion of both PET and CT images, providing enhance user convenience through simultaneous visualization. The performance of deeplearning model was validated using a Hecktor 2021 dataset, and subsequently developed semi-automatic annotation functionalities. We began by performing image preprocessing including resampling, normalization, and co-registration, followed by an evaluation of the deep learning model performance. This model was integrated into the software, serving as an initial automatic segmentation step. Users can manually refine pre-segmented regions to correct false positives and false negatives. Annotation images are subsequently saved along with their corresponding ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT fusion images, enabling their application across various domains. In this study, we developed a semi-automatic annotation software designed for efficiently generating annotated lesion images, with applications in HNC research and diagnosis. The findings indicated that this software surpasses conventional tools, particularly in the context of HNC-specific annotation with ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT data. Consequently, developed software offers a robust solution for producing annotated datasets, driving advances in the studies and diagnosis of HNC.

Various centrifuge model tests on the pile foundations were performed to investigate fundamental characteristics of a pile-soil-foundation system recently, but it is hard to find numerical analysis results of a pile foundation system considering the nonlinear behavior of soil layers due to the dynamic excitations. Numerical analyses for a pile-soil system were carried out to verify the experimental results of centrifuge model tests. Centrifuge model tests were performed at the laboratory applying 1.5 Hz sinusoidal base input motions, and nonlinear numerical analyses were performed utilizing a finite element program of P3DASS in the frequency domain and applying the same input motions with the intensities of 0.05 g~0.38 g. Nonlinear soil properties of soil elements were defined by Ramberg-Osgood soil model for the nonlinear dynamic analyses. Nonlinear numerical analyses with the P3DASS program were helpful to predict the trend of experimental responses of a centrifuge model efficiently, even though there were some difficulties in processing analytical results and to find out unintended deficits in measured experimental data. Also nonlinear soil properties of elements in the system can be estimated adequately using an analytical program to compare them with experimental results.

본 논문은 기초의 거동에 영향을 주는 여러 가지 인자 중 특히, 기초형상에 변화를 주었을 경우 기초의 거동에 초점을 두고 연구하였다. 시초형상으로는 시공성 및 경제성이 가장 우수하다고 판단되는 Shell기초 형태를 제시하였고 수치해석 및 실내모형시험을 실시하여 도출한 결과 값과 Terzaghi, Meyerhof등의 이론값을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 일반기초에 비해 Shell 기초의 침하는 15%정도 크게 발생되는 것으로 나타났으나, 지지력은 $20%{\sim}25% 정도 향상되는 결과를 얻었다. 특히 Shell 기초 $60^{\circ}$인 경우 일반 기초에 비해 33%의 지지력이 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었으므로 연구된 기초형상이 실용화 되면 경제성과 안정성이 확보된 기초 설계기술에 공헌할 것으로 기대 된다.

Various seismic isolation methods are being applied to bridges and buildings to improve their seismic performance. Most seismic isolation systems are the structural seismic isolation systems. In this study, the seismic performance of geotechnical seismic isolation system capable of isolating the lower foundation of the bridge structure from ground was evaluated. The geotechnical seismic isolation system was built with teflon, and the model structure was made by adopting the similitude law. The response acceleration for sinusoidal waves of various amplitudes and frequencies and seismic waves were analyzed by performing 1-G shaking table experiments. Fixed foundation, Sliding foundation, and Rocking foundation were evaluated. The results of this study indicated that the Teflon-type seismic foundation isolation system is effective in reducing the acceleration transmitted to the superstructure subject to large input ground motion. Response spectrum of the Rocking and Sliding foundation structures moves to the long period, while that of Fixed foundation moves to short period.

현재 국내외에서는 진동기계기초에 진동으로 발생하는 추가 연직 동하중을 산정하고 설계함에 있어서 명확하게 제시된 기준이나 이론이 정립되어 있지 않아 국내의 경우, 심각한 진동조건이 아님에도 불구하고 진동에 의한 추가 동하중을 정적하중의 최대 100%로 간주하는 극히 보수적인 설계가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 연직 기계진동으로 인하여 정하중외에 추가적으로 발생하는 동적하중의 정량적 크기를 평가하기 위한 모형실험 방안을 제시하는 것이다. 실내 모형실험의 기초실험으로, 제한된 크기의 모형 토조 내에서 발생할 수 있는 진동 반사파의 영향을 분석 및 보완하였고, 제작한 모형 진동기계기초의 고유진동수를 산정하여 실험 시 공진영향을 최소화하였다. 제안된 기법을 적용한 본 모형실험을 수행하여, 중간 조밀도의 모래 기초지반에 놓인 기계진동 얕은 기초에 기계진동에 의해 발생하는 추가적인 동하중의 정량적 크기를 평가해 보았다. 모형실험결과로부터, 현재 국내외에서 제시하고 있는 설계기법의 적합성을 논의해 보았다.

The laboratory tests on geogrid-reinforced sand were conducted with considering embedment effect. The relative densities of sand are 60% and 80%, respectively. The embedment depths of foundation were varied as D$\_$f/B=0, 0.5, 1.0. Based on the model test results, (u/B)$\_$cr/, BCR$\_$u/, and (b/B)$\_$cr/, were determined. The optimum depth of reinforcement was determined. The embedment depth of foundation is greatly contributed on the bearing capacity of geogrid-reinforced sand.

Dynamic analysis of dam-reservoir-foundation system is usually carried out by employing a simplified and approximate one-dimensional model to account for fluid-foundation interaction. The approximation introduced on this basis is examined thoroughly in this paper by comparing the method with the rigorous approach. It is concluded that the errors due to approximate method could be very significant both for horizontal and vertical ground motions.

본 연구는 나선형 파일을 이용한 말뚝기초에 관한 연구이다. 구조물이 안전하게 유지되기 위해서는 지반과 지상구조물을 연결해주는 기초가 필요하다. 그러나 인접 구조물이나 도시 지역에 기초를 건설할 때, 소음 및 진동 등에 의해 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 단점을 보안하기 위해 저진동, 저소음의 새로운 형상인 스파이럴 기초에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 스파이럴 기초에 관한 연구는 축소모형실험을 수행하였으며, Meyerhof의 지지력 이론식 결과와 비교하였다. 말뚝기초 모형의 나선형 말뚝은 각기 다른 피치각도 및 길이 별로 제작 되었으며, 하중재하실험을 통하여 지지력을 측정 하였다. 축소모형실험 결과 나선형 말뚝의 피치 각도 및 길이가 증가 할수록 지지력이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 실험에서 측정된 결과를 검증하기 위해 이론적 결과를 도입하여 실제 나선형 말뚝과 축소 제작된 말뚝의 지지력을 비교 검토 하였다. 연구결과를 통해 스파이럴 기초의 극한 지지력을 증가시키기 위해서는 기초의 길이와 피치각도를 증가시키는 것이 타당하다고 판단된다. 본 연구를 수행함으로써 기존의 기초건설 문제를 보완하고, 기초건설에 대하여 우수한 효과와 안전성 확보에 기여하고자 한다.

An efficient methodology is presented to evaluate the seismic behavior of a Fluid-Elevated Tank-Foundation/Soil system taking the embedment effects into accounts. The frequency-dependent cone model is used for considering the elevated tank-foundation/soil interaction and the equivalent spring-mass model given in the Eurocode-8 is used for fluid-elevated tank interaction. Both models are combined to obtain the seismic response of the systems considering the sloshing effects of the fluid and frequency-dependent properties of soil. The analysis is carried out in the frequency domain with a modal analysis procedure. The presented methodology with less computational efforts takes account of; the soil and fluid interactions, the material and radiation damping effects of the elastic half-space, and the embedment effects. Some conclusions may be summarized as follows; the sloshing response is not practically affected by the change of properties in stiff soil such as S1 and S2 and embedment but affected in soft soil. On the other hand, these responses are not affected by embedment in stiff soils but affected in soft soils.

The variable node plate bending element, ie, the element with one or two additional mid-side nodes is used in the analysis of mat foundation to generate the nearly ideal grid model in which more nodes are defined near the column location. The plate bending element used in this study is the one based on Mindlin/Reissner plate theory with substitute shear strain field and the nodal stresses of that element are obtained by the local smoothing technique. The interaction of the soil material with the mat foundation is modeled with Winkler springs connected to the nodal points in the mat model. The vertical stiffness of the soil material are represented in terms of a modulus of subgrade reaction and are computed in the same way as to the computation of consistent nodal force of uniform surface loading. Several mesh schemes were proposed and tested to find the most suitable scheme for mat foundation analysis.
