터널 발파의 최외곽에서 발생할 수 있는 과대 여굴은 작업자 및 장비의 안전에 저해되며 숏크리트 등 지보량의 증가로 공사 비용이 증가시키는 주요 원인이다. 이러한 여굴은 화약 에너지와 암반의 특성 간의 복잡한 발생 메커니즘으로 인해 완벽한 제어가 매우 어렵다. 본 연구는 여굴 발생의 중요한 원인인 암반의 공학적 특성 중 무지보 막장 상태, 단축압축강도, 풍화도 및 불연속면의 특성(빈도, 상태 및 불연속면과 최외곽선과의 각도) 등과 발생한 여굴의 깊이와의 관계를 feed-forward 인공신경망을 통해 분석하였다. 이를 통해 통해 얻어진 각 인자의 가중치를 기초로 여굴저항도(Overbreak Resistance Factor: ORF)를 개발하였다. 더불어 여굴저항도를 이용한 터널 발파 여굴 관리 시스템을 제안한다.

The prediction and achievement of a proper rock fragmentation size is the main challenge of blasting operations in surface mines. This is because an optimum size distribution can optimize the overall mine/plant economics. To this end, this study attempts to develop four improved artificial intelligence models to predict rock fragmentation through cascaded forward neural network (CFNN) and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) models. In this regards, the CFNN was trained by the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA) and Conjugate gradient backpropagation (CGP). Further, the RBFNN was optimized by the Dragonfly Algorithm (DA) and teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO). For developing the models, the database required was collected from the Midouk copper mine, Iran. After modeling, the statistical functions were computed to check the accuracy of the models, and the root mean square errors (RMSEs) of CFNN-LMA, CFNN-CGP, RBFNN-DA, and RBFNN-TLBO were obtained as 1.0656, 1.9698, 2.2235, and 1.6216, respectively. Accordingly, CFNN-LMA, with the lowest RMSE, was determined as the model with the best prediction results among the four examined in this study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the artificial dental plaque by Streptococcus mutans on 4 different implant surfaces. In this study, the specimens were divided into 4 groups according to implant surface treatment. Uncoated implant group(n=5) which has an uncoated, smooth surfaced implant(Osstem, Korea), SLA implant group(n=5) which has an sandblasted large grit and acid-etched surface implant(Bicon, USA). Oxidized implant group(n=5) which has an oxidized surfaced implant (Osstem, Korea), and RBM implant group(n=5) which has resorbable blasting media(RBM) surfaced implant(Osstem, Korea). Acquired pellicle by human saliva and dental plaque by Streptococcus mutans were made on each implant surface. To analyze the plaque condition on implants surfaces, cell count and optical density were taken as a microbiologic method, and SEM(Scanning Electronic Microscope) findings was also taken for evaluation of surface condition. The following results were obtained. 1. Cell counting results of artificial dental plaque were Uncoated group($658.0{\pm}102.0$), RBM group($878.0{\pm}170.0$), SLA group ($946.0{\pm}42.0$), Oxidized group($992.0{\pm}40.0$), and there was difference between Oxidized group and Uncoated implant group(p<0.05). In case of modified cell counting results by v/w% were RBM group($197.8{\pm}45.2$), Oxidized group($207.04{\pm}8.34$), Uncoated group($261.6{\pm}40.6$), SLA group($315.4{\pm}14.0$), and there was difference between RBM group and SLA group(p<0.05). 2. Optical density results of artificial dental plaque after ultrasonic treatment was that there was difference among groups, and optical density of RBM group was higher than that of Uncoated group(p<0.05). In case of modified optical density results by v/w%, there was difference among groups, and the modified optical density of Uncoated group and SLA group was higher than those of Oxidized group and RBM group(P>0.05). 3. SEM findings of artificial dental plaque on the surfaces of implant as follows; there were artificial dental plaque on the surfaces of all test implants. Streptococcus mutans and by-product were observed at 10,000 times magnified condition on all test implants. Adhesion area of artificial dental plaque was about 1/2 of total surface after 24 hours incubate at $37^{\circ}C$. These results showed that there were differences among implant surfaces on the growth of Streptococcus mutans, and bacteria and by-product were covered about 1/2 area of total implant surfaces at 24 hours incubate at $37^{\circ}C$.

국부손상 구조물은 내 외부에서 발생하는 비정상 하중에 의해 구조물 일부가 구조적 기능을 상실하여 재사용이 불가능한 구조물이다. 비정상 하중의 발생 원인으로는 자연재해와 인공재해로 대별되며 이러한 비정상 하중에 의해 발생한 국부손상 구조물은 추가적인 2차 붕괴의 위험요소들을 내재하고 있어 신속한 전면해체가 요구된다. 본 시공사례는 건설실패 및 태풍으로 피해를 입은 필리핀의 철골 트러스 구조의 교량에 대해 발파해체를 적용한 사례이다. 발파해체를 위해 성형폭약의 사용이 필요하나 현지에서 수급이 불가하여 장약용기를 제작한 후 용기 속에 에멀전계열 폭약을 충전하여 발파해체에 적용하였다. 발파해체 결과 교량의 중앙부가 수직 자유낙하하고, 교량 끝단이 지지부를 중심으로 회전하면서 자유낙하 하였다. 교각 및 주변에 피해가 발생하지 않았으며, 발파 후 철거대상부의 파쇄 상태는 매우 양호하였다.

Fixture의 안정도를 평가하는 장비인 Osstell Mentor와 기존 Osstell과의 비교 시험 및 측정환경에 따른 노이즈 발생 시험 결과를 통해 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. US II Fixture와 SS II Fixture의 ISQ 값을 측정한 1차 검증에서는 Osstell과 Osstell Mentor의 ISQ 값 경향의 차이가 크게 나타나지 않음을 확인하였다. 2. SS II Fixture를 얕게 매식한 것과 정상적인 매식한 것의 ISQ 값 비교를 한 2차 검증에서는, Osstell과 Osstell Mentor 모두 매식 깊이에 따른 동일한 경향의 결과를 보였다. 3. 3차 검증에서는 골질별로 Osstell과 Osstell Mentor의 ISQ 값이 일정한 경향을 보이는 것을 확인하였고, 특히 Osstell Mentor 장비는 Osstell 장비보다 사용함에 있어서 편리성이 뛰어나다고 판단된다. 또한 ISQ 값을 100% 신뢰하기는 어렵지만 Osstell Mentor를 임상 및 실험에 적용하는데 있어서는 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다. 4. 측정환경에 따라 전자파를 발생시키는 환경이 존재하면 노이즈가 발생할 수 있으나, 실제 측정결과 휴대폰이 작동 중인 환경을 제외하고는 노이즈가 발생하지 않았다. 실제 치과 내에서의 사용에서도 노이즈는 발생하지 않음을 확인하였다. 5. 비교적 안전하게 장치를 장착 및 탈착 할 수 있어 측정과정에 의해 발생되는 임플란트와 주위골에 대한 잠재적 위험도가 낮고 측정위치에 따른 오차가 적어 임상적으로 불리한 상황과 다양한 환경에서의 임플란트 안정성 측정이 가능해 임상적 활용도가 높다고 판단된다.

Uniformity of spray deposit is one of the important factors in spray performance affecting efficacy of pest management. Distributions of spray deposit on artificial targets were measured and analyzed to enhance the efficiency of spray application. The research was studied to understand the deposition characteristics of spray droplets and to determine the optimum conditions of chemical application. The deposit and its pattern by the lower fan speed was more uniform and higher than that by the higher fan speed. The upward blasting distance was limited within 3 m, but the limit to the ground level was expanded the distance more than 3.5 m because of the accumulated droplets. When the fan speed was higher at the distance of 2.5 m, deposit reached to maximum. When the distance increased, deposit was getting lower. At the both fan speeds, the deposit was concentrated below $30^{\circ}$ because of the gravitation and the resistance of wind. This research can be useful in designing an orchard sprayer and its operation for various tree canopies. To achieve a uniform distribution of deposit using the air-blast type orchard sprayer, the application rate from the middle boom should be increased as the air velocity to the upward increased. The spray rate to the side boom should be limited in a minimal level.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the practicality and the validity of different surface treatments of self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) by comparing bone cutting capacity and osseointegration. Methods: Self-drilling OMIs were surface-treated in three ways: Acid etched (Etched), resorbable blasting media (RBM), partially resorbabla balsting media (Hybrid). We compared the bone cutting capacity by measuring insertion depths into artificial bone (polyurethane foam). To compare osseointegration, OMIs were placed in the tibia of 25 rabbits and the removal torque value was measured at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after placement. The specimens were analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Results: The bone cutting capacity of the etched and hybrid group was lower than the machined (control) group, and was most inhibited in the RBM group (p < 0.05). At 4 weeks, the removal torque in the machined group was significantly decreased (p < 0.05), but was increased in the etched group (p < 0.05). In the hybrid group, the removal torque significantly increased at 2 weeks, and was the highest among all measured values at 8 weeks (p < 0.05). The infiltration of bone-like tissue surface was evaluated by SEM, and calcium and phosphorus were detected via EDS only in the hybrid group. Conclusions: Partial RBM surface treatment (hybrid type in this study) produced the most stable self-drilling OMIs, without a corresponding reduction in bone cutting capacity.

Uniform application of agri-chemicals will improve orchard pest management. An air-blast(orchard) sprayer designed for vineyards has been used: however, few research on the uniformity and coverage of the sprays has been reported. Distributions of spray coverage were measured with artificial targets and analyzed to enhance the efficiency of spray application. A structure was built to place water sensitive papers, sampling spray droplets blasted from the orchard sprayer. The sampling cards were collected from five directions at three distances (2.5, 3.0 and 3.5m) for two fan speeds (2,075 and 3,031 rpm), and analyzed using an image analysis system. The distribution of the coverage percent area did not follow the wind velocity pattern. The coverage by the low fan speed was more uniform and higher than that by the higher fan speed. The coverage percent area decreased with an increase of distance. The distribution of droplet density was similar to that of coverage. However, the coverage contribution by smaller droplets became more significant as the distance increased. The upward blasting distance was limited within 3m, but the limit to the ground level was expanded the distance more than 3.5m because of the concentrated droplets.

The demand for cement and limestone crushed materials has increased many folds due to the tremendous increase in construction activities in Pakistan during the past few decades. The number of cement production industries has increased correspondingly, and so the rock-blasting operations at the limestone quarry sites. However, the safety procedures warranted at these sites for the blast-induced ground vibrations (BIGV) have not been adequately developed and/or implemented. Proper prediction and monitoring of BIGV are necessary to ensure the safety of structures in the vicinity of these quarry sites. In this paper, an attempt has been made to predict BIGV using artificial neural network (ANN) at three selected limestone quarries of Pakistan. The ANN has been developed in Python using Keras with sequential model and dense layers. The hyper parameters and neurons in each of the activation layers has been optimized using randomized and grid search method. The input parameters for the model include distance, a maximum charge per delay (MCPD), depth of hole, burden, spacing, and number of blast holes, whereas, peak particle velocity (PPV) is taken as the only output parameter. A total of 110 blast vibrations datasets were recorded from three different limestone quarries. The dataset has been divided into 85% for neural network training, and 15% for testing of the network. A five-layer ANN is trained with Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function, Adam optimization algorithm with a learning rate of 0.001, and batch size of 32 with the topology of 6-32-32-256-1. The blast datasets were utilized to compare the performance of ANN, multivariate regression analysis (MVRA), and empirical predictors. The performance was evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R²), mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and root mean squared error (RMSE)for predicted and measured PPV. To determine the relative influence of each parameter on the PPV, sensitivity analyses were performed for all input parameters. The analyses reveal that ANN performs superior than MVRA and other empirical predictors, andthat83% PPV is affected by distance and MCPD while hole depth, number of blast holes, burden and spacing contribute for the remaining 17%. This research provides valuable insights into improving safety measures and ensuring the structural integrity of buildings near limestone quarry sites.

본 연구의 목적은 유지력을 높이기 위하여 교정용 미니 임플랜트에 표면처리를 시행하되 식립 과정의 용이성에 영향을 주지 않는 표면처리 방법을 찾기 위함이다. 교정용 미니 임플랜트를 etching, resorbable blasting media (RBM), 상부 나사산 부위만 RBM 처리를 한 hybrid 등의 3가지 방법으로 표면처리한 후 machined (표면 미처리)군과 비교하였다. 주사전자현미경과 표면 거칠기 측정기로 표면 거칠기를 비교하였으며, driving torque tester를 이용해 실험용 인공골에 교정용 미니 임플랜트를 식립하여, 식립 토크(rotational torque)와 수직력(vertical loading)의 식립 패턴을 비교하였다. Machined surface군과 비교하여 acid etching군에서는 표면 거칠기(Ra 값)가 크지 않았으나 ($p$ > 0.05), RBM군이나 hybrid군에서 표면 거칠기(Ra 값)가 유의하게 컸다 ($p$ < 0.05). 최종 식립 토크는 모든 표면처리군에서 machined군보다 컸다 ($p$ < 0.05). 최대 식립수직력은 hybrid군이 machined군이나 etched군보다 유의하게 작았으며 ($p$ < 0.05), RBM군이 가장 컸다 ($p$ < 0.05). 교정용 미니 임플랜트의 유지력을 높이기 위하여 보철용 임플랜트와 같은 방법으로 전면 표면처리를 하면 self drilling type 고유의 골 삭제기능이 저하될 수 있다. 그러나 cutting edge 일정 부위를 제외하며 적절하게 조절된 표면처리를 하면 골 삭제 능력의 큰 저하 없이 용이한 식립이 가능할 것으로 보인다.
