Objective : At present, gold-standard technique of cervical cord decompression is surgical decompression and fusion. But, many complications related cervical fusion have been reported. We adopted an extended anterior cervical foraminotomy (EACF) technique to decompress the anterolateral portion of cervical cord and report clinical results and effectiveness of this procedure. Methods : Fifty-three patients were operated consecutively using EACF from 2008 to 2013. All of them were operated by a single surgeon via the unilateral approach. Twenty-two patients who exhibited radicular and/or myelopathic symptoms were enrolled in this study. All of them showed cervical cord compression in their preoperative magnetic resonance scan images. Results : In surgical outcomes, 14 patients (64%) were classified as excellent and six (27%), as good. The mean difference of cervical cord anterior-posterior diameter after surgery was 0.92 mm (p<0.01) and transverse area was $9.77mm^2$ (p<0.01). The dynamic radiological study showed that the average post-operative translation (retrolisthesis) was 0.36 mm and the disc height loss at the operated level was 0.81 mm. The change in the Cobb angle decreased to 3.46, and showed slight kyphosis. The average vertebral body resection rate was 11.47%. No procedure-related complications occurred. Only one patient who had two-level decompression needed anterior fusion at one level as a secondary surgery due to postoperative instability. Conclusions : Cervical cord decompression was successfully performed using EACF technique. This procedure will be an alternative surgical option for treating cord compressing lesions. Long-term follow-up and a further study in larger series will be needed.

We investigated the effects of 835-MHz electromagnetic field (EMF), one of the most popular communication frequency band in Korean code-division multiple-access (CDMA) mobile phone system, on cellular signal transduction. For this, we examined the change of intracellular calcium $([Ca^{2+}]_i)$, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and F-actin polymerization after exposure to 835-MHz EMF followed by the treatment of agonists in Rat-2 fibroblast cells. Culture cells were pretreated with serum-tree medium and concomitantly exposed to 835-MHz at specific absorption rate (SAR) of 4.0 W/kg for 24 hr in a specialized designed apparatus based on Transverse Electro Magnetics (TEM) wave theory. Intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ responses to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in Rat-2 fibroblast after exposure to 835-MHz EMF were shown to be similar pattern as observed in normal cultured cells. However, the LPA-induced calcium spiking was slightly delayed to 7 sec and sustained thereafter to a little higher ground level under 835-MHz EMF radiation compared to unexposed cells. ROS production level by LPA in the exposed cells was not different from that in control. Furthermore, LPA induced the production of stress fibers with no significant difference in the exposed and unexposed cells. These results suggest that mobile phone radiation (835-MHz, SAR 4.0 W/kg) may not be directly related to signal transduction in Rat-2 fibroblasts except the slight effect of calcium spiking in LPA-induced cells but remain to be further elucidated for possible indirect intervention.

안정된 암반에 터널을 굴착하는 경우 아칭효과에 의해 막장주변에 응력재배치가 발생하고 터널 막장 전방에 연약대가 존재하는 경우 응력재배치가 충분히 이루어지지 않아 막장과 연약대 사이의 응력집중으로 인해 변위가 발생하게 된다. 만일 막장에 근접하여 측점에서 종방향, 횡방향, 연직방향의 3차원 절대좌표가 측정되는 경우 막장전방의 지반거동이 반영된 3차원 절대변위가 산정되고, 이러한 3차원 절대변위의 분석을 통해 막장전방의 지반조건을 예측할 수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 4개 현장에서 측정된 3차원 변위비의 경향선과 천단침하의 영향선/경향선 분석을 실시하여 연약대 위치를 추정하였고, 3차원 절대변위의 분석에 의해 추정된 연약대 위치를 동일한 구간에서의 TSP탐사로 추정된 연약대 위치와 비교함으로써 3차원 절대변위 해석기법의 현장 적용성을 검증하였다.

미끄럼저항은 자동차의 타이 어 와 포장노면 사이에서 발생하는 미끄러짐을 방지하여 제동거리를 제어하고 주행 안전성을 확보하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 우천시의 미끄럼저항 감소는 치명적인 교통사고를 유발할 수 있다. 노면위에 남은 토사 및 겨울철 제설재는 미끄럼저항을 감소시킬 수 있는 요소가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 노면상의 잔류하는 이물질이 타이어와 포장노면사이에서 발생하는 미끄럼저항에 미치는 영향을 다양한 콘크리트 노면조직 형태 (횡방향타이닝, 종방향타이닝, 골재노출) 및 노면조직의 마모조건(신설노면, 마모된 노면)에 대하여 검토하였다. 노면상의 이물질로는 모래, 염화칼슘과 자동차에서 발생하는 폐 오일을 사용하였으며 각 경우별로 이물질의 양을 달리하여, 모래의 경우는 입도 및 양을 달리해가며 미끄럼저항에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다.

콘크리트 교량 바닥판은 건조수축 및 온도변화 등에 의하여 초기 1차균열이 발생하고, 사용기간 동안 반복되는 차량하중의 크기와 철근 간격 등에 의하여 초기 균열이 이방향 균열로 점차 발전하게 된다. 그러나 현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 균열 예측식이 일방향 부착-슬립이론에 기초하고 있기 때문에 철근과 보강재의 간격에 따라 변화되는 교량 바닥판의 균열폭을 예측하고 보강된 바닥판의 사용성을 평가하기에는 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시험결과에 기초하여 성능향상된 바닥판의 균열 메카니즘을 구명하였으며, 이로부터 사용성을 평가할 수 있는 새로운 균열예측식을 제안하였다. 제안된 균열예측식은 기존 균열식에 비하여 예측결과가 우수한 것으로 나타났으나, 철근 항복 이후 철근과 보강재의 변형률이 급격히 증가할 때 오차범위가 커지는 것으로 나타나 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 보다나은 균열예측을 위해서는 피로 하중하에서의 철근 항복이후에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents the results of a series of tests carried out on cold-formed steel rectangular hollow and concrete infilled beam to column connections and frames. A stub column was chosen such that overall buckling does not influence the connection behaviour. The beam chosen was a short-span cantilever with a concentrated load applied at the free end. The beam was connected to the columns along the strong and weak axes of columns and these connections were tested to failure. Twelve experiments were conducted on cold-formed steel direct welded tubular beam to column connections and twelve experiments on connections with concrete infilled column subjected to monotonic loading. In all the experiments conducted, the stiffness of the connection, the ductility characteristics and the moment rotation behaviour were studied. The dominant mode of failure in hollow section connections was chord face yielding and not weld failure. Provision of concrete infill increases the stiffness and the ultimate moment carrying capacity substantially, irrespective of the axis of loading of the column. Weld failure and bearing failure due to transverse compression occurred in connections with concrete infilled columns. Six single-bay two storied frames both with and without concrete infill, and columns loaded along the major and minor axes were tested to failure. Concentrated load was applied at the midspan of first floor beam. The change in behaviour of the frame due to provision of infill in the column and in the entire frame was compared with hollow frames. Failure of the weld at the junction of the beam occurred for frames with infilled columns. Design expressions are suggested for the yielding of the column face in hollow sections and bearing failure in infilled columns which closely predicted the experimental failure loads.

In past decades, a maximum standard vessel size for chemical tankers is not normally larger than 55,000 TDW due to the characteristic of chemical product shipment which is so variable but small quantity unlike single product carries such as crude oil tankers. These days, as demand of very large chemical tanker is rising due to the change of market trend of chemical product shipment, 75,000 TDW class chemical tanker has been developed. The newly developed vessel's structure has been designed based on CSR (Common Structural Rule) for double hull oil tankers (hereafter CSR) published by IACS (International Association of Classification Societies). However, due to the large difference from typical oil tankers, many items should be specially considered such as on deck transverse and corrugated bulkheads. In addition, two longitudinal bulkheads without upper stool have been constructed in order to maximise the number of cargo tanks and the volume of each cargo tanks. In this study, key word of the vessel has been briefly reviewed and the structural reliability of the proposed vessel has been investigated.
