The purpose of this study is to evaluate the behavior and the strength of SRG (Steel Reinforced Grout) externally strengthened Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams by using a nonlinear numerical analysis. The numerical simulation was carried out by using a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model. An interface element with a suitable damage model was used to model the connection between concrete surface and SRG reinforcing layer. The reliability of the finite element 3D-model was checked using experimental data obtained on a set of three RC beams. The parameters taken into consideration were the external configuration, with or without U-end anchorages, the concrete strength, the amount of internal tensile steel reinforcement. Conclusions were made concerning the strength and the ductility of the strengthened beams by varying the parameters and on the effectiveness of the SRG reinforcing system applied with two types of external strengthening configuration.

Micropile has been widely used for reinforcing general grounds, improving slope stability and structural foundations. However, a need still exists for evaluating the effects of inclined micropiles on shallow foundations in Korea. In this paper, numerical analyses were presented to evaluate settlement characteristics on shallow foundations reinforced by micropiles and the effects of inclined micropiles under various conditions such as the installation position, installation angle, hardness(diameter), and grouting type. In addition, this paper reports trends of effectiveness and efficiency of using inclined micropiles on shallow foundations under specified conditions.

Southern exposure test specimens were used to evaluate corrosion performance of epoxy-coated reinforcing bars in chloride contaminated concrete by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method. The test specimens with conventional bars, epoxy-coated bars and corrosion inhibitors were subjected 48 weekly cycles of ponding with sodium chloride solution and drying. The polarization resistance obtained from the Nyquist plot was the key parameter to characterize the degree of reinforcement corrosion. The impedance spectra of specimens with epoxy-coated bars are mainly governed by the arc of the interfacial film and the resistance against the charge transfer through the coating is an order of magnitude higher than that of the reference steel bars. Test results show good performance of epoxy-coated bars, although the coatings had holes simulating partial damage, and the effectiveness of corrosion-inhibiting additives. The corrosion rate obtained from the impedance spectroscopy method is equivalent to those determined by the linear polarization method for estimating the rate of corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete structures.

본 논문에서는 여러 가지 입도의 사질토에 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene) 재질의 단섬유(staple fiber)를 중량비 0.3%로 혼합한 섬유혼합도의 거동특성과 보강효과를 평가하였다. 곡류계수는 일정하게 유지하고 균등계수를 변화시켜 성형한 공사체에 공진주시험을 수행하였다. 섬유혼합토의 최대전단탄성계수는 비혼합토에 비해 최대 30%까지 증가하였고, 비선형 영역에서의 전단탄성계수 감소량도 억제되었다. 섬유혼합토의 정규화 전단탄성계수 감소곡선이 Seed와 Idriss의 대표곡선 상한값 쪽으로 이동해, 비혼합토보다 얇은 밴드로 분포하여 섬유의 혼합이 흙의 강성 증가에 효과적임을 증명되었다.

초고층 및 장경간 등 대형 구조물에 대한 시공시 부재의 품질이 저하될 정도로 과다한 철근이 배근되고 있다는 문제점이 제기되고 있으며, 최근 건축되고 있는 초고층 건축물에서는 건물의 안정성과 내구성 등을 감안하여 사용 재료의 강도도 점차 증가하고 있다. 초고층 및 장경간 구조물의 시공에서 고강도 철근을 사용할 경우 기존의 일반 강도 철근에 비해 배근량 감소로 인하여 부재에서 배근 간격에도 여유를 줄 수 있어 시공성 향상, 공기단축, 접합부 상세가 간소화 되는 장점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 SD500, SD600 철근을 국내에서 설계되었거나 시공되어진 라멘 구조 형식의 지하주차장 건축물에 적용하여 각 부재별로 철근의 강도에 따른 순수 철근량에 대한 정착 및 이음 철근량 증감을 비교 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 계산된 철근의 정착 및 이음 물량은 사용철근의 강도가 증가함에 따른 정착 및 이음길이의 증가량과 순수 물량의 감소비율, 사용철근의 직경이 줄였을 때의 단면적 감소 등의 요인들에 의해 정착 및 이음 물량이 결정되었으며, 전체적으로 순수 물량에 대한 정착 및 이음 물량의 비율이 SD400대비 SD500의 경우는 증가하였지만 SD500대비 SD600의 경우는 감소하였다. 이는 보의 정착 및 이음 물량이 전체 정착 및 이음 물량에 미치는 영향이 크기 때문으로 판단된다. 한편 순수 물량에 대한 정착 및 이음 물량의 비율에서 SD400과 SD500의 차이와 SD400과 SD600의 차이가 미미하여 철근의 정착 및 이음 물량이 강도 증가에 따른 전체 철근 물량의 증감에는 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 파악되었다.

Purpose: Nurses' job satisfaction corresponds with personal intrinsic value, and is the strongest predicting turnover and job retention intention. This study identified the effectiveness of job satisfaction interventions related to reinforcing intrinsic motivation (JSI-RIM) for hospital nurses. Methods: This study used four core non-Korean databases (Cochrane Library, CHINHL, EMBASE, PubMed), and five Korean databases to search for RCT and NRCT articles published in English and Korean from inception to June 2019. Meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3.5 program. Results: Thirteen studies featuring 645 hospital nurses were selected for final analysis. A significant large effect was noted on self-efficacy. The effect size on perceived stress and job satisfaction were moderate; however, the effect on resilience outcomes was not significant. Conclusion: This study generated scientific evidence that would facilitate efficient job adaptation for nurses. Additionally, intrinsic factors, including job identity and meaning of work, need to be included in JSI-RIM.

Background: The use of indwelling central venous access devices (CVADs) in children can result in complications such as infection, occlusion, and dislodgement. Purpose: To evaluate whether reinforcing CVAD care bundles by using a regular direct feedback system could reduce such complications in children. Methods: The intervention in this retrospective interrupted time-series study was initiated in January 2019. The study was divided into the preintervention (October-December 2018), 3-month postintervention (January-March 2019), and 6-month postintervention (April-June 2019) phases. Risk difference and Poisson regression analyses were used to illustrate the effectiveness of the intervention. Results: The hospital-wide central line-related bloodstream infection rate decreased from 10.0/1,000 catheter-days to 4.5/1,000 catheter-days at 3-month postintervention (P=0.39) and to 1.4/1,000 catheter-days at 6-month postintervention (P=0.047). The central line occlusion rate significantly decreased from 30% to 12.8% (P=0.04) and 8.3% (P=0.002) at 3 and 6 months, respectively. Approximately 7% of CVADs became dislodged during the preintervention phase versus 8.5% (P=0.364) and 3.3% (P=0.378) at 3 and 6 months, respectively. Conclusion: Reinforcing CVAD care bundles with direct feedback could significantly decrease CVAD-associated complications in terms of infection at 6-month postintervention, and occlusion at 3- and 6-month postintervention. Thus, reinforcement and regular direct feedback might improve care quality in children with CVADs.

The effectiveness of a technique for the repair of reinforced concrete members in combination with a technique for the repair of masonry walls of infilled frames, damaged due to cyclic loading, is experimentally investigated. Three single - story, one - bay, 1/3 - scale frame specimens are tested under cyclic horizontal loading, up to a drift level of 4%. One bare frame and two infilled frames with weak and strong infills, respectively, have been tasted. Specimens have spirals as shear reinforcement. The applied repair technique is mainly based on the use of thin epoxy resin infused under pressure into the crack system of the damaged RC joint bodies, the use of a polymer modified cement mortar with or without a fiberglass reinforcing mesh for the damaged infill masonry walls and the use of CFRP plates to the surfaces of the damaged structural RC members, as external reinforcement. Specimens after repair, were retested in the same way. Conclusions concerning the effectiveness of the applied repair technique, based on maximum cycles load, loading stiffness, and hysteretic energy absorption capabilities of the tested specimens, are drawn and commented upon.
