A 6 month-old castrated male Yorkshire terrier (weighing 1.0 kg) was presented with acute respiratory distress. Diagnostic imaging studies found post-obstructive pulmonary edema sequel to upper airway obstruction by a rubber plug lodged at thoracic esophagus. The rubber plug was removed endoscopically. After removal of this rubber plug with conventional therapy for pulmonary edema, the clinical condition of dog was stabilized. To the best knowledge of authors, this is the first case report describing postobstructive pulmonary edema in a dog in Korea.

Many engineering researches are performed to ensuring structural safety from earthquake. In this study, the damping capacity of LRB(lead rubber bearing) with high lead-plug area ratio was examined by hysteresis loop from experiments. The displacement controlled tests were performed for 12 specimens designed in 2 types by lead-plug area ratio as main parameter. Each coupled specimens were tested by 3 times sinusoidal loads with different loading velocities. From the experimental results, LRB with high lead-plug area ratio has sufficient damping ratio for reducing horizontal seismic load to structures.

Experimental work undertaken to investigate the behaviour of lead-rubber bearings under compression and a combination of compression and shear or rotation has been reported on elsewhere. However, it is difficult to determine the state of stress within the bearings in terms of the applied forces and the interaction between the lead plug and the steel shims and elastomeric layers. In order to supply some of the missing information about the stress-strain state within the bearings, an analytical study using the finite element method was carried out. The available experimental results were used to validate the model and although agreement was not as good as expected (on account of difficulties in modelling the lead plug), the analyses did provide some information about the state of the stress within the bearing.

In this study, the horizontal loading tests of 10ton and 200ton capacity of LRB(lead-rubber bearing) were performed for the evaluation of the dynamic properties of the LRB. It is noted from the test results that dynamic properties of the LRB are dependent on the loading frequency, vertical load and shear strain. A Slender bearing subjected to large deformation will tend to develop plastic hinges in the end regions of the lead plug which will cause the failure of the lead plug. It is recommended that the appropriate mechanical properties of LRB considering the level of structural response and input ground motion should be used in the design of base isolated structures.

본 연구는 일반건설현장에서와는 달리 천공경이 $97mm{\Phi}$이상이고 천공장이 21M이상인 상태에서 발파작업이 진행되고 있는 석회석 광산에서 기존의 발파공법과 Air tubes를 이용한 발파공법을 비교하여 기존의 발파로 인한 상부 대괴를 감소시키고 폭약의 사용량을 줄이면서 진동 및 폭음을 최소화하여 보다 경제적인 작업수행을 하기 위해 연구하였다. 한편 에어층(Air deck)을 형성으로 인한 전색장의 길이 감소를 보완하기 위해 라바플러그(Rubber Plug)를 사용하므로 비석의 위험을 최소화 시키고 가스압이 암전체에 충분히 전달할 수 있도록 장치를 만들어 실험하였다. 그 결과 일반발파와 Air tubes를 이용한 발파방법을 비교하여 볼 때 Air tubes를 이용한 발파방법이 폭약을 약 15~30% 절감 할 수 있었으며, 또한 진동은 최대 50%정도의 감소와 폭음에서는 2~5dB 정도로 감소되었다.

To determine the seismic applicability of a long-span railway concrete upper-deck arch bridge with concrete-filled steel-tube (CFST) rigid skeleton ribs, some fundamental principles and seismic approaches for long-span bridges are investigated to update the design methods in the current Code for Seismic Design of Railway Engineering of China. Ductile and mixed isolation design are investigated respectively to compare the structural seismic performances. The flexural moment and plastic rotation demands and capacities are quantified to assess the seismic status of the ductile components. A kind of triple friction pendulum (TFP) system and lead-plug rubber bearing are applied simultaneously to regularize the structural seismic demands. The numerical analysis shows that the current ductile layout with continuous rigid frame approaching spans should be strengthened to satisfy the demands of rare earthquakes. However, the mixed isolation design embodies excellent seismic performances for the continuous girder approaching span of this railway arch bridge.

The characteristic tests for the reduced-scale lead rubber bearings are performed with three different diameters of lead plugs. The test frequencies are 0.05Hz and 0.5Hz of the sinusoidal waves. The roles of lead plugs in the behavior of lead rubber bearings are investigated. The shear-deformation characteristic values such as stiffness, damping and yield load values are increased according to the increase of the diameter of lead plugs. The high damping value can be obtained by increasing the diameter of lead plug.

The characteristic of “Korea LRT Carbody” is designed by using AED(All Extrusion Design) method. This is developed in Europe and be introduced in this paper minutely. The window type of “Korea LTR” has no supported frame, so the passengers ensure the outside view widely. The passenger's door will designed by plug type - This is the first time in Korea. In this report we have an object to the strength analysis for the carbody design. For the purpose of safety and lightening, we are going to research the section of thickness through optimization design.

In this paper, an analytical study was carried out to propose an optimum base-isolated system for the design of steel structures equipped with lead rubber bearings (LRB). For this, 5 and 10-storey steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) were designed as Special Moment Frame (SMF). These two-dimensional and three-bay frames equipped with a set of isolation systems within a predefined range that minimizes the response of the base-isolated frames subjected to a series of earthquakes. In the design of LRB, two main parameters, namely, isolation period (T) and the ratio of strength to weight (Q/W) supported by isolators were considered as 2.25, 2.5, 2.75 and 3 s, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15, respectively. The Force-deformation behavior of the isolators was modelled by the bi-linear behavior which could reflect the nonlinear characteristics of the lead-plug bearings. The base-isolated frames were modelled using a finite element program and those performances were evaluated in the light of the nonlinear time history analyses by six natural accelerograms compatible with seismic hazard levels of 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years. The performance of the isolated frames was assessed in terms of roof displacement, relative displacement, interstorey drift, absolute acceleration, base shear and hysteretic curve.

지금까지 대형 구조물에 널리 사용되고 있는 Base Isolator는 특히, 지진하중에 대하여 상부 구조물의 지반분리(base isolation)을 이용한 지진제어를 목적으로 하기 때문에 Seismic Isolator라 한다. 일반적으로 면진베어링에는 LRB(Laminated Rubber Bearing) 방식과 R-FBI(resilient-friction base isolator) 방식으로 크게 나눌 수 있다. LRB 방식은 가장 널리 사용되는 면진베어링으로써 방진고무를 주된 재료로 하고 수직강성을 보강하기 위하여 steel plate를 조합하여 제작하며, 초기강성 및 에너지 소산능력을 증가시키기 위하여 단면중앙에 납(lead plug)를 삽입하기도 한다. R-FBI 방식은 방진고무 적층판 내부에 미끄럼판을 가지고 있으므로 LRB 방식에 비하여 더 큰 수평변위를 발생시킬 수 있다. 이번에 설계 제작한 면진베어링은 LNG 저장탱크의 Seismic Isolation을 목적으로 적용대상의 사양에 맞추어 설계 제작하고 성능평가 시험을 수행하여 LNG 저장탱크, 원자로, 대형 건축물등 지진으로부터 보호되어야 하는 대형구조물의 방진재로 적용할 수 있는가를 평가하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 제작된 면진베어링의 설계를 검증하고 방진고무(HDR)재료의 물리적 특성시험, 축소모델에 의한 정적, 동적시험을 통하여 시험방법을 소개하고 이러한 시험결과를 기초로 하여 면진베어리의 성능을 평가하였으며, 면진베어링의 온도변화, 외부 수직하중의 변화등에 따른 특성변화와 LNG 저장탱크와 면진베어링의 체결방법에 따른 시험으로 체결방법을 검증하였으며, 대상물의 사양에 적합한가를 고찰하였다.
