Objective : The offset connector can allow medial and lateral variability and facilitate intralaminar screw incorporation into the construct. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics of C7 intralaminar screw constructs with and without offset connector using a three dimensional finite element model of a C6-7 cervical spine segment. Methods : Finite element models representing C7 intralaminar screw constructs with and without the offset connector were developed. Range of motion (ROM) and maximum von Mises stresses in the vertebra for the two techniques were compared under pure moments in flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial rotation. Results : ROM for intralaminar screw construct with offset connector was less than the construct without the offset connector in the three principal directions. The maximum von Misses stress was observed in the C7 vertebra around the pedicle in both constructs. Maximum von Mises stress in the construct without offset connector was found to be 12-30% higher than the corresponding stresses in the construct with offset connector in the three principal directions. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that the intralaminar screw fixation with offset connector is better than the construct without offset connector in terms of biomechanical stability. Construct with the offset connector reduces the ROM of C6-7 segment more significantly compared to the construct without the offset connector and causes lower stresses around the C7 pedicle-vertebral body complex.

The long-term success of any dental implant is dependent upon the optimization of stresses which occur during oral function and parafunction. Especially, it has been suggested that there is an unique set of problems associated with joining an osseointegrated implant and a natural tooth with a fixed partial denture. For this particular case, although many literatures suggest different ways to avoid high stress concentrations on the bone surrounding the implant under static and dynamic loading conditions, but few studies on the biomechanical efficacy of each assertion have been reported. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the efficacies of clinically suggested methods on stress distribution under static load and shock absorption under dynamic load, using two dimensional finite element method. In FEM models of osseointegrated implant-natural tooth supported fixed partial dentures, calculations were made on the stresses in surrounding bone and on the deflections of abutments and superstructure, first, to compare the difference in stress distribution effects under static load by the flexure of fastening screw or prosthesis, or intramobile connector, and second, to compare the difference in the shock absorption effects under dynamic load by intramobile connector or occlusal veneering with composite resin. The results of this analysis suggest that : 1. Under static load condition, using an implant design with fastenign screw connecting implant abutment and prosthesis or increasing the flexibility of fastening screw, or increasing the flexibility of prosthesis led to the .increase in height of peak stresses in cortical bone surrounding the implant, and has little effect on stress change in bone around the natural tooth. 2. Under static load condition, intramobile connector caused the substantial decrease in stress concentration in cortical bone surrounding the implant and the slight increase in stress in bone around the natural tooth. 3. Under dynamic load condition, both intramobile connector and composite resin veneering showed shock absorption effect on bone surrounding the implant and composite resin veneering had a greater shock absorption effect than intramobile connector.

An experimental study was carried out to evaluate the shear performance at the interface composed of structural laminates and concrete. The main variables are the number of CLT layers and the shape of the shear connector. The number of CLT layers consisted of 3 and 5 layers. A total of 6 test specimens for shear performance evaluation were prepared in the form of a shear connector, a direct screw type and a vertically embedded type. As a result of the experiment, similar behavior was shown in all specimens, regardless of the number of layers, including direct screw type (SC series) and vertically embedded type (VE series). The behavior at the joint surface was damaged due to the occurrence of initial shear cracks, expansion of shear groove cracks, and splaying at the interface after the maximum load.After the maximum load, the shear strength decreased gradually due to the effect of the shear connector. It can be seen that the shear strength of all specimens is determined by shear and compression stress failure of concrete at the interface of the notch joint.

본 연구는 조적조 치장벽체의 신축과 보강공사에 사용될 수 있는 나선형 긴결철물을 사용하여 내부벽체와 긴결된 치장벽체의 전단거동실험을 행하여 이 벽체의 구조적 성능을 검증하고 적절한 시공간격 형태 등을 제안하기 위한 실험연구이다. 본 연구를 통해 벽체의 Rocking거동에 있어서는 나선형 긴결철물을 사용한 벽체가 기존 시공법의 벽체보다 동일 간격에서는 우수한 전단저항능력을 나타내며, 간격이 30%정도 증가하여도 유사한 능력을 발휘한다. 짧은 간격에서의 긴결도는 기존 시공법보다 상당히 높음으로 고층건물의 치장벽체로 연와조 조적체의 적용가능성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents an experimental study of a newly developed composite floor system, built up from thin-walled C-profiles and upper concrete deck. Trapezoidal sheeting provides the formwork and the fastening of the sheet transmits the shear forces between the C-profiles and the deck. The modified formation of the standard self-drilling screw in the beam-to-sheet connection is applied as shear connector. Push-out tests are completed to study the composite behaviour of the different connection arrangements. On the basis of the test results the behaviour is characterized by the observed failure modes. The design values of the connection stiffness and strength are calculated by the recommendation of Eurocode 4. In the next phase of the experimental study six full-scale composite beams are tested. The global geometry is based on the proposed geometry of the developed floor system. The applied shear connections are selected as the most efficient arrangements obtained from the push-out tests. The experimental behaviour of the composite beams are discussed and evaluated. As a conclusion of the experimental study the Eurocode 4 plastic design method is validated for the developed composite floor.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the connector having an influence on the elasto-plastic buckling load of ball-jointed single layer latticed domes. As an analytic model, domes are composed of tubular member elements, balls and connectors. The joint system of members in single layer latticed domes has influence on the buckling load. Therefore, in this paper, the variation of the elasto-plastic buckling load by effects of the connectors characteristics is analyzed. The structural behavior of the connector is investigated by following points: (1) the length of rigid zone, (2) looseness of screw and (3) the diameter of connector. In addition, the elasto-plastic buckling analysis is carried out through the variation of the connectors section of yielding part, and then the buckling mode of the dome is examined. As a result, it is emphasized that the characteristics of the connector have significant effects on the buckling load of latticed domes.

In steel-concrete composite beams, to improve the cracking resistance of the concrete slab in the hogging moment region, a new type of connector in the interface, named uplift-restricted and slip-permitted screw-type (URSP-S) connector has been proposed. This paper focuses on the behavior of steel-concrete composite beams with URSP-S connectors. A total of three beam specimens including a simply supported beam with URSP-S connectors and two continuous composite beams with different connectors arrangements were designed and tested. More specifically, one continuous composite beam was equipped with URSP-S connectors in negative moment region and traditional shear studs in other regions. For comparison, the other one was designed with only traditional shear studs. The failure modes, crack evolution process, ultimate capacities, strain responses at different locations as well as the interface slip of the three tested specimens were measured and evaluated in-depth. Based on the experimental study, the research findings indicate that the larger slip deformation is allowed while using URSP-S connectors. Meanwhile, the tensile stress reduces and the cracking resistance of the concrete slab improves accordingly. In addition, the overall stiffness and strength of the composite beam become slightly lower than those of the composite beam using traditional shear studs. Moreover, the arrangement suggestion of URSP-S connectors in the composite beam is discussed in this paper for its practical design and application.

건축구조 설계기준이 개정됨에 따라서 목조건축물의 제한 기준이 완화되어 경골 목조건축의 다층 시공이 가능하게 되었다. 건축물의 규모 증가는 건물에 작용하는 하중을 증가시키므로 증가된 작용하중에 맞추어 하중저항성능을 향상시켜 설계하고 시공해야 한다. 기존에는 경골 목조건축의 전단성능을 향상시키기 위하여 벽량을 보강하는 방법을 적용하였으나 본 연구에서는 홀드다운 접합철물을 사용하는 방법을 적용하였다. 홀드다운은 아직까지 국내에서 보편적이지 않은 접합철물이므로 홀드다운의 국내 적용 적합성을 평가하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 홀드다운을 적용한 경골 목조 전단벽에 대하여 정적하중 시험을 통한 전단성능 평가 결과 홀드다운 적용 후에 전단벽의 초기강성, 항복하중 및 기준하중이 향상됨을 확인하였으며, 전단성능 향상에 따라 수평 변위와 전단변형의 증가율이 감소하는 것이 확인되었다. 홀드다운과 스터드의 접합방법에 따른 전단성능의 차이는 크지 않은 것으로 확인하였고, 홀드다운 제품 설계강도가 증가할수록 전단벽의 전단성능도 증가하는 경향이 나타났으나 그 차이가 제품 설계강도 차이에 비하여 크지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 홀드다운을 설치하는 스터드의 규격에 따라서 89 mm 스터드를 사용한 경우와 38 mm 스터드를 두 겹으로 사용한 경우에 비슷한 성능을 나타내므로 38 mm 부재에 홀드다운을 설치할 경우는 스터드의 두께 보강을 통한 성능 향상이 필요하다고 판단하였다.

본 논문은 나사조임 단자대에 접속되는 전선접속부의 나사조임토크에 따른 열적특성을 분석하고자, 나사조임토크를 KS C 2625에서 규정한 정상조임토크와 시공불량 및 경년변화 등의 원인으로 인해 나사조임의 풀림으로 발생될 수 있는 이상조임토크를 실험의 변수로 하였다. 이때, 정상조임토크와 이상조임토크에 동일한 부하를 인가한 후, 열화상카메라를 이용하여 전선접속부의 열적특성을 측정한 후 비교 분석하였다. 도출된 결과를 바탕으로 향후 전기안전점검 시 단자대 접속개소의 조임토크 불량으로 인한 발열을 사전에 감지하고, 전기화재의 위험성이 나타날 가능성을 최소화 할 수 있는 대책자료로 활용하고자 한다.
