Objective : Carpal tunnel syndrome has gained increasing attention and acceptance as a significant cause of peripheral neuropathy, since it was first reported in 1836. The purpose of this study is to inspect the effect of oriental medical treatment on Carpal tunnel syndrome patients who is not come under surgical decompession. Methods : 20 patients who visited Won-Kwang University Hospital during the period from January 1998 to May 2000 were analysed for clinical manifestations. Results : 1. Among 20 patients, 3 were male and 17 were female. 2. The syndrome occurred on the right side in 5 patients, on the left side in 0 patients, and on both 15 patients 3. The most of causes were overwork. 4. Numbness was the most common symptom followed by night pain, paresthesis, morning stiffness, puffiness and resting pain 5. Among 20 patients, 12 were Tinel's sign positive, 16 were Phalen's test positive Conclusions : When the symptom is mild and duration is short, conservative treatment is effetive, but when neurological deficit is prominent and conservative treatment is not effective, surgical decompession is indicated. We treated 19 among 20 cases of the patients which Carpal Tunnel syndrome. We achieved effective results.

Settlement evaluation is important for shallow tunnels in big cities to estimate the settlement that occurs due to the excavation of twin tunnels. The majority of earlier research on analytical solutions, on the other hand, concentrated on calculating the settlement for a single tunnel. This research introduces a procedure to evaluate the settlement induced by the excavation of twin tunnels (two parallel tunnels). In this study, a series of numerical analysis were performed to validate the analytical solution results. Two geological conditions were considered to derive the settlement depending on each case. The analytical and numerical methods were compared, which involved considering many sections and conducting a parametric study; the results have good agreement. Moreover, a comparison of the 3D flat model and 2D (FEM) with the analytical solution shows that in the fill soil, the maximum settlement values were obtained by the analytical solution. In contrast, the values obtained by the analytical solution in the rock is more conservative than those in the fill. Finally, this method was shown to be appropriate for twin tunnels dug side by side by utilizing finite element analysis 3D and 2D (PLAXIS 3D and PLAXIS 2D) to verify the analytical equations. Eventually, it will be possible to use this approach to predict settlement troughs over twin tunnels.

원격지에 위치하여 접근이 곤란한 지역에 위치한 토목구조물의 구조건전성을 모니터링하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 전원과 통신방법의 선정이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 장기간 사용하지 않은 원격지 터널의 균열 원인 분석을 위하여 FEM해석을 수행하였고, 다양한 하중과 온도변화에 따른 구조물의 균열 진전여부를 장기간 모니터링 할 필요가 있다고 판단하였다. 따라서 최근 휴대전화에서 널리 사용되고 있는 무선 CDMA통신기법을 이용하여 균열의 원격모니터링을 수행하였고 그 결과, 이 시스템이 접근 곤란한 구조물의 장기모니터링에 매우 유용함을 확인하였다.

근래 들어 도심지 지하공간 개발에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 도심지 터널계획이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 도심지 구간에는 주민 생활환경을 고려하여 지하정거장이 계획되며, 기존 구조물의 안정성 및 환경훼손 저감 등을 위해 2-Arch터널 정거장을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 도심지 구간은 심한 풍화작용에 따라 불량지반의 심도가 깊게 발달되어 터널 안정성 확보를 고려한 신중한 계획이 요구된다. 이뿐만 아니라 도심지의 복합적인 지반상태를 고려하여 본선터널에 TBM 기계굴착 공법을 적용하는 경우, 기존 NATM형 2-Arch터널과는 시공연계성을 확보할 수 없게 된다. 본 연구에서는 쉴드TBM과 2-Arch터널을 조합한 형태인 TBM선굴진 2-Arch터널을 국내 최초로 적용한 설계사례를 중점으로 기술하고자 하였다. 중앙터널 굴착후 좌우터널 시공을 고려하여 쉴드TBM 세그먼트 설치 및 해체를 위해 고려한 설계사항을 설명하고, 수치해석을 활용한 안정성 검토를 통해 TBM선굴진 2-Arch터널의 설치효과를 검증하였다.

The across-wind dynamic loads on L-shaped tall buildings with various geometric dimensions were investigated through a series of wind tunnel testing. The lift coefficients, power spectral densities and vertical correlation coefficients of the across-wind loads were analyzed and discussed in details. Taking the side ratio and terrain category as key variables, empirical formulas for estimating the across-wind dynamic loads on L-shaped tall buildings were proposed on the basis of the wind tunnel testing results. Comparisons between the predictions by the empirical formulas and the wind tunnel test results were made to verify the accuracy and applicability of the proposed formulas. Moreover, a simplified procedure to evaluate the across-wind dynamic loads on L-shaped tall buildings was derived from the proposed formulas. This study aims to provide a simple and reliable way for the estimation of across-wind dynamic loads on L-shaped tall buildings.

This paper, an evaluation of the mechanical property for the backfilling materials of the NATM Composite lining tunnel using the lightweight foamed mortar, relates to the performance of permeability, compressive strength and unit volume weight. Therefore, this study is aimed to prove the three main factor that refered to the above line for development of new tunnel method. As the result of this study, it would be confirmed that the D mix is better than other mixs a side of all tests and its relation that is for the tunnel backfilling materials.

In establishing artificial fences in a certain locality, type of its area or wind blown against them from the front side is primarily considered. Researchers on fences also concentrate on upstream, wand blown against them from the front side In 90$^{\circ}$ angle. In this research, simulations were carried out on the direction of wind changed by each season, and regardless of seasonal wind, on the fences effect of wind direction on fences, throu호 an atmospheric boondary layer wind tunnel. When I compared the velocity distribution of upstream against the fences in 90$^{\circ}$ angle with that of 75$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$, and 45$^{\circ}$ respectively, the velocity distribution at downstream of the latter cases generally surpassed that of the former one.

Dispersion of pollutant in a mountainous area is simulated in a wind tunnel. In the northwest side of the terrain model, the sea level is assumed. Wind from the sea initially confronts hills along the shoreline, a line of large buildings next, and finally a valley between high mountains in the south and in the east. In the northwest wind conditions, severe flow separation occurs in the lee side of hills, even beyond the building area. Pollutant from the buildings is trapped in this region and its concentration is the highest. In the west wind conditions, pollutant from the buildings flows along the hills aslant the main wind direction in this case. Since large valley is located in the downstream, pollutant tends to disperse along the valley.

The $\varphi{4.5}$ meters pilot tunneling work is almost done to the $\varphi{11.3}$ meters twin tunnel of NAM SAN No1. The south side pit of 400 meters is weak zone of Rock status, so client request us to allow the cautious blasting pattern for drilling on the condition of 0.2 kine vibration allowance limited for the safety of side running tunnel. The pattern of cautious blasting carried out by 6 time divided fiving on the round drilling depth of 1.20 meters(1.10) and also applied control blasting method with line drilling due to the reduction of vibration.

The pretibial cyst is a very rare complication after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It occurs whatever kind of graft choice or kind of graft fixation method at tibial side. It have been known such as graft necrosis at tibial side, extra-articular leakage of joint fluid through tibial tunnel, foreign body reaction due to breakdown of the bioabsorbable screw and incomplete incorporation of graft to bony tunnel as the cause of pretibial cyst. We experienced one case of pretibial cyst which had undergone ACL reconstruction with autogenous hamstring graft fixed with biodegradable interference screw. We report a rare case of pretibial cyst with literature review.
