The present study is intended to study sole types necessary for shoe designs for elementary school students that are in age groups in growth periods, and 3D midsole design utilizing 3D printing technology. This study analyzed data from the 3D measurement of the feet of 1,227 elementary school students aged 7-13 years residing in the capital region conducted as part of the 6th Anthropometry of Size Korea. In addition, 3D midsoles by sole type were designed utilizing a Rhino CAD, and midsole prototypes were output utilizing a Zortrax-M200 3D Printer. Through a cluster analysis of sole shapes by type, sole shapes were classified into three types. Type 1 has small values of foot lengths and foot breadths, with large toe 1 angles and high arch heights. Type 2 has intermediate values of foot lengths and foot breadths, with small toe 1 angles and high arch heights. Type 3 has large values of foot lengths and foot breadths with small toe 1 angles and low arch heights. On reviewing the results of design of 3D midsoles by sole type, it can be seen that the midsoles were designed according to characteristics by sole type. The results of the sole type analysis in the present study are expected to be meaningful as basic data for the development of shoe insoles for elementary school students.

The web-encased steel-concrete composite (WESCC) beam is a new developed steel-concrete composite beam. Experiments of six simply supported WESCC beam specimens were conducted. The effects of the shear-span ratio and steel section type were all investigated on the static behaviors such as failure modes, failure mechanism and bearing capacity. The experimental results denoted that all specimens failed in bending mode and the degree of combination between the bottom armor plate of steel shape and concrete were very well without any evident slippage, which demonstrated that the function of bottom armor plate and web were fully exerted in the WESCC beams. It could be concluded the WESCC beams have high stiffness, high load carrying capacity and advanced ductility. The design methods are proposed which mainly consist the bearing capacity calculation of bending and flexural rigidity. The calculation results of the bearing capacity and deflection which take the shear deflection into account are in agreement with the experimental results. The design methods are useful for design and application of the innovative composite beams.

The brief results of laboratory and field tests of yieldable steel arches are represented. The test supports were fabricated with three U-sectional beams which are 25.8 kg/m of Glocken profile. The structural analyses of semi-circular and arch supports were conducted to find out shape factor of U beam to be 1.35 and the location of 2nd plastic hinges. Load capacity of arch supports under crown loading were examined as a function of leg length. Yieldable characheristics of test supports were investigated with various bolting torque of connection part. Determination method of bolting torque were also studied. Finally, test supports were installed in-situ with torque of 21 kg .m, which showed a typical yielding procedure.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of elastica shaped arches. The elastica shaped arches are formed by the post-buckled column whose arc length is always constant. The equations governing free, planar vibration of general arch in open literature are modified for applying the free vibrations of elastica shaped arch and solved numerically to obtain frequencies and mode shapes for hinged-hinged, clamped-hinged and clamped-clamped end constraints. The effects of rotatory inertia, rise ratio and slenderness ratio on natural frequencies are presented. The frequencies of elastica shaped arches are greater than those of parabolic shaped ones. Also, typical mode shapes are presented in figures.

This study deals with the free vibrations of the elastica shaped arch with linear taper. The shape of elastica is obtained from the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. Differential equations governing free vibrations of such arch are derived and numerically solved to determine natural frequencies, in which three kinds of taper type and two kinds of end constraint, respectively, are considered. For validating the theories presented herein, the frequency parameters obtained in this study are compared to those of SAP 2000. As results of the numerical analyses, effects of end constraint, taper type, slenderness ratio and section ratio on the lowest four non-dimensional frequency parameters are extensively investigated.

This paper presents stability evaluation of unlined tunnels with semi-circular arch and straight sides (SASS) driven in non-homogeneous and anisotropic undrained clay. Numerical analysis has been conducted based on lower bound finite element limit analysis with second order cone programming under plane strain condition. The solutions will be used for the assessment of stability of unlined semi-circular arch tunnels and tunnels in which semi-circular roof is supported over rectangular/square sections. The stability charts have been generated in terms of a non-dimensional factor considering linear variation in undrained anisotropic strength for normally consolidated and lightly over consolidated clay with depth, and constant undrained anisotropic strength for heavily over-consolidated clay across the depth. The effect of normalized surcharge pressure on ground surface, non-homogeneity and anisotropy of clay, tunnel cover to width ratio and height to width ratio of tunnel on the stability factor and associated zone of shear failure at yielding have been examined and discussed. The geometry of tunnel in terms of shape and size, and non-homogeneity and anisotropy in undrained strength of clay has been observed to influence significantly the stability of unlined SASS tunnels.

평면 아치 구조물에 대해 선형 탄성 변분방정식에 기반을 둔 설계민감도 해석을 위한 일반적 이론을 개발하였다. 아치 구조물내의 임의 마디에 정의된 응력범함수를 고려하였고 이에 대한 설계민감도 공식을 유도하기 위해 전미분(material derivative) 개념과 보조(adjoint) 변수 방법을 도입하였다. 얻어진 민감도 공식은 구조해석 결과를 얻고 나면 이들로부터 단순 대수연산을 통해 계산이 되므로 적용이 간편할 뿐 아니라 해의 정확도가 높은 잇점이 있다. 본 방법은 아치의 형상을 매개변수를 통해 표현하므로 얕은 아치에 국한하지 않고 어떠한 형상도 고려가 가능하며, 나아가서 아치의 형상변화를 형상에 대해 수직뿐 아니라 접선방향도 포함하여 일반적으로 고려하므로 다양한 형상설계가 가능하다. 몇 가지 예제에서 민감도 계산을 수행함으로써 본 방법의 정확도와 효율성을 입증하였으며, 두 가지의 설계최적화 문제를 대상으로 실제로 두께 및 형상최적설계를 수행하였다.

This paper describes an attempt to develop a unified design approach for reinforced concrete short beam failing in shear based on a Arch Factor. Designing for short beam in shear is not as straightforward as designing for flexure due to the complicated interdependency of the variables involved and to the nonexistence of a rational theory tn current design code. Shear failure of reinforced concrete beams with stirrups is influenced greatly because of the actual geometrical shape(a/d) of the concrete and flexural reinforcement steel ratio, stirrup reinforcement ratio and concrete compression strength, size effect etc. The objective of this paper is to present a pilot study to develop a simplified physical model for estimating shear behavior of reinforced concrete short beams. The Key idea incorporated with this model is the Arch factor, introduced by Kim and White.

This paper describes a practical formulation of Non-Bernoulli-Compatibility Truss Model. Not only equilibrium conditions but also some approximations are employed to solve for the unknowns included in the proposed model. By assuming that the ratio of $V_a$ to V remains to be constant along the shear span, the relationship between $\alpha$ and z is mathematically established as an arch shape function. $V_m$ is also approximated to be an empirical value that is equal to the least membrane shear strength. The coefficient a is made utilizing a nonlinear finite element analysis. The adequacy of the model is examined by test results available in literatures, and the predicted values are shown to be in excellent agreement with the experimental results.

This study was undertaken to finish the design of the adequate preadjusted bracket in Korean. The labio-lingual & bucco-lingual width of tooth & in-and-out of the bracket base was studied in normal occlusion of 17 males & 17 females. The following results were obtained. 1. The in-and-outs of the bracket base in Korean were obtained (table 2). 2. The in-and-outs of the premolar & molar were no significant due to variation according to arch wire shape in clinical practice, so the more adjustment of arch wire was required. 3. The more amount of offset was required at lateral-canine offset than at central-lateral offset in 1st order bending, due to difference of the in-and-out. 4. The degrees of the anti-rotation in molar were obtained (table 3).
