Contemporary architectural structures have diverse and complex forms. Such structural variety demands requisite performance from the connections in the steel structure so that the latter could resist a horizontal force, such as an earthquake. The connections are the all-important components that create the discontinuous form and that support stress concentration, determining the stiffness and toughness of the entire steel frame. In this study, a real-scale column-to-beam connection was constructed in the 600MPa-grade high-strength and high-performance steel, to test its behavior. Its material and welding characteristics were examined in this study, and its structural performance was analyzed by conducting seismic-resistance tests on the full-scale, cross-shaped column-to-beam welded connections with non-scallop, ordinary-scallop, and reinforced-scallop details. The weld ability of the high-strength, high-performance steel was also evaluated, and data regarding the seismic design for practical application were provided.

Purpose: This study is to analyze the result and complications of internal fixation with T-plate for two-part fracture of the neck of the humerus. Materials and Methods: The clinical results of fourteen patients who had been performed with this method mentioned above were reviewed. Their average age was 49.6. Postoperative mean follow up period was 24.1 months. Radiological evaluation was done by Kronberg's and shoulder function by Neer's. Results: By Kronberg evaluation, nine cases were good, two cases acceptable and three cases poor. By Neer's, mean score of shoulder function was 77.6 and 4 cases were excellent, one satisfactory, five unsatisfactory and four failure. The complications were the sfiff shoulder, loss of reduction and avascular necrosis of humeral head. Conclusion: In this study, there were differences according to the age. And we obtained an unsatisfactory result in patients over 50 years old. We consider that in patients over 50 years old, the differences were due to the muscle weakness through wide surgical approaches, postoperative implant loosening or the stiffness caused by poor rehabilitation.

The purpose of this study is to predict the ratios of increase in lateral stiffness for preliminary structural design of tall buildings. For this, the basic models of tall buildings with 60 stories are generated. The basic models have typical floor plan of Box or T type. And the factors for increase in lateral stiffness are selected as follows; the addition of outriggers, increase in material strength, and increase in member size of core walls, outrigger columns, and outrigger walls. Then these factors are applied to the basic models and their effects are investigated using the results of structural analysis. Finally, based on the investigation, the ratios of increase in lateral stiffness for preliminary structural design of tall buildings are proposed and applied to examples of tall building for verification of the ratios.

A radius of ring resonator is determined by the resonant frequency. Resonant frequencies of resonators with the circumference which is integer times of wave length are not same the expected. In this paper, we suggest the design method of a ring resonator with coupling gap, which has the resonant frequency of desire. The equation which can make reduction of the radius of the resonators depending on the gap space is derived by the method of transmission line analysis. The criterion is suggested to determine the radius of the resonator in accordance with relative permittivity. A ring resonator by the proposed method is as small as one-third of basic ring in size and it has the resonant frequency of desire. T-type coupling line is designed to obtain large attenuation of $S_{11}$ at pass-band. These coupling line capacitances are very lower than the gap capacitances, it does not affect the resonant frequency.

This study proposes a novel method for in service evaluation of tension force of a prestressed 7-wire strand which is frequently employed for retrofitting bridge superstructure. The smart strand is made by replacing the straight king wire of the strand with an instrumented steel tube in which the FBG sensor is embedded. Since the strain of the smart strand can easily be measured using the sensor, it is possible to monitor tension force of the strand during the service. For the sake of demonstrating effectiveness of the proposed strand, we came up with a 7.0m long prototype with 2 FBG sensors, and it is applied as an external tendon to a 6.4m long and 0.6 high RC T-shaped beam. A loading-unloading test has been carried out, and estimated tension forces using the smart strand are compared with measured forces by load cell. The comparison showed that the proposed smart tendon is useful and accurate for monitering tension force of the prestressed tendon.

The objective of this study is to investigate the association between MBTI personality types of potential investors and their cognitive behavioral investment disposition. Three questionnaires related with MBTI, cognitive investment disposition, and behavioral one from 400 subjects were collected and analyzed. Based on both cognitive and behavioral investment disposition scores, potential investors having E(Extroversion), S(Sensing), and F(Feeling) types tend to put up with the risk resulting from their investment better than ones who having I(Introversion), N(Intuition), and T(Thinking) types. However, the difference between J(Judging) and P(Perceiving) types was not significant. Also investor group with ENF combination had the most aggressive investment disposition among other groups. On the contrary the group with ISF had an tendency to avoid the investment risk. In addition the correlation between cognitive and behavioral investment dispositions was 0.86. This study is expected to be used as basic data with which investment companies and banks recommend adequate financial instruments to consumers.

An anterior glottic web can be congenital or develop as a result of trauma. The congenital webs indicate failure of normal separation of the two vocal cord primordia and the cicatrical membrane caused by accidental and operative trauma. When the web is small it rarely produces significant sympto-matology but larger webs may produce stridor as well as hoaresness in various degrees. Achievement of epithelialization of the anterior commisure after excision of a web, thus preventing adhesions from forming between the denuded vocal cords, is the principle underlying the surgical treatment of anterior glottic webs. Recently the authors experienced a case of anterior glottic web which occured in a 23 year old man after repeat removal of a papilloma several times in child-hood. The patient received treatment of a web excision followed by placement of a gold keel between the cords in the anterior glottis.

Background: A correlation between a T-type voltage activated calcium channel (VACC) and pain mechanism has not yet been established. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of ethosuximide and mibefradil, representative selective T-type VACC blockers on postoperative pain using an incisional pain model of rats. Methods: After performing a plantar incision, rats were stabilized on plastic mesh for 2 hours. Then, the rats were injected with ethosuximide or mibefradil, intraperitoneally and intrathecally. The level of withdrawal threshold to the von Frey filament near the incision site was determined and the dose response curves were obtained. Results: After an intraperitoneal ethosuximide or mibefradil injection, the dose-response curve showed a dose-dependent increase of the threshold in a withdrawal reaction. After an intrathecal injection of ethosuximide, the threshold of a withdrawal reaction to mechanical stimulation increased and the increase was dose-dependent. After an intrathecal injection of mibefradil, no change occurred in either the threshold of a withdrawal reaction to mechanical stimulation or a dose-response curve. Conclusions: The T-type VACC blockers in a rat model of postoperative pain showed the antihyperalgesic effect. This effect might be due to blockade of T-type VACC, which was distributed in the peripheral nociceptors or at the supraspinal level. Further studies of the effect of T-type VACC on a pain transmission mechanism at the spinal cord level would be needed.

관거시설은 관거, 맨홀(manhole), 우수토실, 물받이, 연결관, 침투시설, 저류시설, 펌프장 등을 포함하는 시설들로 구성되어 있다. 여기서 맨홀은 배수시설의 유지와 관리를 위하여 일정거리마다 설치되고 있으며, 관거의 기점, 방향, 경사 및 관경이 변하는 곳, 단차가 발생하는 곳, 관거가 합류하는 곳에는 반드시 설치한다(환경부, 2011). 그러나 하수도시설기준(환경부, 2011)에서 합류맨홀의 설치에 관한 사항은 T형 합류맨홀에 관한 개략적인 표만 제시되어 있을 뿐, 4방향 합류맨홀에 대한 구체적인 설치 기준이 제시되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 또한 에너지 손실의 저감 및 배수능력을 증대시키기 위하여 맨홀내 설치되는 인버트는 미국의 형태 및 기준을 그대로 적용하고 있으므로 관거시설의 시설의 합리적인 설계기준을 제시하기 위하여 인버트가 설치된 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 흐름특성 및 수두 손실을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 인버트가 설치된 4방향 합류맨홀 손실계수 산정 및 흐름특성을 분석하기 위하여 문헌조사 및 현장조사를 실시하여 수리실험 장치를 제작하였다. 실험에 사용된 맨홀은 하수도시설기준(환경부, 2011)의 표준 1호 맨홀을 1/5로 축소하였고, 인버트는 설치되지 않은 조건(CASE A), 반원형 인버트(CASE B), U형 인버트(CASE C)를 각각 실험하였으며, 실험유량으로 총 유출량 (Qout)은 $2{\sim}5{\ell}/sec$, 총 유출량에 대한 측면 유입량($Q_{Lat}$)의 비($Q_{Lat}/Q_{out}$)는 0~1 조건으로 변화시키면서 흐름특성 및 손실계수를 산정하였다. 실험결과 측면유량비가 증가함에 따라 CASE B와 CASE C는 CASE A보다 맨홀 내 수심이 약 3~7%정도 증가되는 경향을 나타내고 있었으며, 측면유량비의 증가에 따른 손실계수 산정 결과, CASE B는 CASE A 보다 약 30%정도 손실계수가 증가하였으며, CASE C는 CASE A보다 약 35%정도 손실계수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기존에 사용되고 있는 인버트의 형상이 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 손실 저감 및 배수능력을 증대시키기 보다는 오히려 맨홀 내 통수능력을 저하시켜 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 배수능력을 저감시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러므로 기 사용되는 인버트의 개선이 필요하며 관거시설의 배수능력을 증대하기 위하여 지속적인 연구를 통한 개선된 인버트의 형상 제시가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

T-joint and hopper knuckle joint models are typical welded joints in ship structure, which are very susceptible to fatigue damage under service condition. Fatigue test and fracture mechanical analysis were performed on these joints to find out characteristics of fatigue behavior. Unified S-N curve was developed from the test results of these two types of joint using hot spot stress concept, and also propagation life was also estimated using Paris' crack propagation law. Residual stress effect on propagation life was considered in calculating propagation life, as was done with thermo-elasto-plastic FE analysis and residual stress intensity factor calculation. Fatigue life of similar kinds of welded joint could be predicted with this unified S-N curve and fracture mechanical analysis technique.
