In this study, a new recentering friction device (RFD) to retrofit steel moment frame structures is introduced. The device provides both self-centering and energy dissipation capabilities for the retrofitted structure. A hybrid performance-based seismic design procedure considering multiple limit states is proposed for designing the device and the retrofitted structure. The design of the RFD is achieved by modifying the conventional performance-based seismic design (PBSD) procedure using computational intelligence techniques, namely, genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural network (ANN). Numerous nonlinear time-history response analyses (NLTHAs) are conducted on multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) and single-degree of freedom (SDOF) systems to train and validate the ANN to achieve high prediction accuracy. The proposed procedure and the new RFD are assessed using 2D and 3D models globally and locally. Globally, the effectiveness of the proposed device is assessed by conducting NLTHAs to check the maximum inter-story drift ratio (MIDR). Seismic fragilities of the retrofitted models are investigated by constructing fragility curves of the models for different limit states. After that, seismic life cycle cost (LCC) is estimated for the models with and without the retrofit. Locally, the stress concentration at the contact point of the RFD and the existing steel frame is checked being within acceptable limits using finite element modeling (FEM). The RFD showed its effectiveness in minimizing MIDR and eliminating residual drift for low to mid-rise steel frames models tested. GA and ANN proved to be crucial integrated parts in the modified PBSD to achieve the required seismic performance at different limit states with reasonable computational cost. ANN showed a very high prediction accuracy for transformation between MDOF and SDOF systems. Also, the proposed retrofit showed its efficiency in enhancing the seismic fragility and reducing the LCC significantly compared to the un-retrofitted models.

In recent years, the cultural industry is considered to a major industry in the 21 century, and performing culture is growing rapidly in Korea. Also, rapid development in terms of quality and quantity can be found in the diversification of usage, a trend focusing on the space for performance, and an emphasis on the accessibility between the stage and auditorium. In addition, active research is being conducted on the performing arts facilities, a relationship between the stage and auditorium, and a space programfor each space considering users. However, most of the current studies are conducted byviewing the facilities in a two-dimensional space. Similar to other cultural facilities, such as museums and galleries, performing arts facilities have been planned in the thinking that the ratio of capacity increases in proportion to the area. Considering a dimensional capacity in the spatial composition of performing arts facilities is important, but it has been ignored until now. Therefore, in order to analyze performing arts facilities in the three dimensional approach, this study is conducted centering on the actual capacity and provides basic data that can be used for planning a construction of future performing arts facilities.

본 연구의 목적은 새로 시판된 NRT 기구의 근관 형태 유지 능력을 기존의 3종의 기구와 비교하는 것이다. 만곡된 레진 모형 근관을 ProFile, K3, ProTaper, NRT 기구를 이용하여 형성하였고 형성 전, 후의 상을 스캔한 후 중첩시켜 이미지 분석 프로그램을 이용하여 근관 만곡도의 변화와 근관 중심축에 대한 근관의 변이 정도를 근관 중심율의 변화로 계산하여 분석하였다. 근관 변이의 유의성 검정을 위해 one-way ANOVA분석을 시행하였으며 각 기구간의 유의성 검정은 Duncan's test로 사후 분석하였다. 근첨에서 1, 2 mm 상방 위치에서의 근관 중심율은 ProFile 군이 다른 군에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타났다. (p < 0.05). NRT기구의 근관 중심율 변화를 측정한 결과 근첨으로부터 5 mm 상방에서는 Profile에 비해서만 큰 것으로 나타났고 6, 7 mm 상방에서는 다른 모든 군들에 비해 큰 것으로 나타났다 (p < 0.05). 비록 NRT기구가 근첨 부위에서는 ProFile을 제외한 다른 기구에 비해 유의차 없는 중심률 유지 능력을 보였으나 근관 입구 및 중간부위의 형성에 사용되는 스테인레스-스틸 파일로 인해 coronal flaring시 다른 기구들에 비해 더 많은 중심률의 변화를 보이는 것으로 사료된다.

Using confined shape memory alloy (SMA) bar or plate, this study proposes an innovative self-centering damper. The damper is essentially properly machined SMA core, i.e., bar or plate, that encased in buckling-restrained device. To prove the design concept, cyclic loading tests were carried out. According to the test results, the damper exhibited desired flag-shape hysteretic behaviors upon both tension and compression actions, although asymmetric behavior is noted. Based on the experimental data, the hysteretic parameters that interested by seismic applications, such as the strength, stiffness, equivalent damping ratio and recentering capacity, are quantified. Processed in the Matlab/Simulink environment, a preliminary evaluation of the seismic control effect for this damper was conducted. The proposed damper was placed at the first story of a multi-story frame and then the original and controlled structures were subjected to earthquake excitations. The numerical outcome indicated the damper is effective in controlling seismic deformation demands. Besides, a companion SMA damper which represents a popular type in previous studies is also introduced in the analysis to further reveal the seismic control characteristics of the newly proposed damper. In current case, it was found that although the current SMA damper shows asymmetric tension-compression behavior, it successfully contributes comparable seismic control effect as those having symmetrical cyclic behavior. Additionally, the proposed damper even shows better global performance in controlling acceleration demands. Thus, this paper reduces the concern of using SMA dampers with asymmetric cyclic behavior to a certain degree.

Recently this country has carried out the coast reclamation centering on the west and south coast for effective practical use of a country, considering purchase of materials and environmental problem, most reclaiming work is processing to spoil reclamation which is easy to secure the amount of materials. In case of weak ground that is formed by spoil reclamation like this, initial moisture content is high, as slurry state that is rarely revealed ground strength, compressibility and water permeability have been shown nonlinear change by compaction progress. Analysis of weak ground is unreasonable because the existing Terzaghi compaction theory analyzes compaction fixed number to regular invariable number for prediction of compaction state. This study computes the relation with void ratio-effective pressure and void ratio-finite transformation which is the most basic matter to predict finite strain compaction state of the south coast spoil, and analyze the basic feature to predict compaction feature of the south coast spoil reclaimed ground.

Adequate access cavity is the key to achieving endodontic success. The aims of the access cavity can be considered as follows: 1) Creation of a smooth unimpeded pathway for instruments to canal orifices 2) Removal of the entire roof of the pulp chamber in order to inspect the pulp floor, 3) Preservation of natural tooth substance consistent with the above. Recently, contracted endodontic cavities based on minimally invasive endodontics has introduced. This has the benefit of preserving the pericervical dentin more than traditional access cavity with achieving long-term success. However, some studies reported controversial results regarding root canal detection, instrumentation efficacy (noninstrumented canal area, hard tissue debris accumulation, canal transportation, and centering ratio) as well as fracture resistance. Therefore, further studies are required for accepting contracted access cavity, and modified form of traditional and contracted access cavity could be considered.

The main purpose of this paper Is to develop the Management Resource Analysis System for KOTRA which is based on Activity Based Costing(ABC). Because the products and services of KOTRA are exclusive and include a government subsidy, we need develop a different system from the private firm's ABC system. The Management Resource Analysis System that we propose is embodied using JAVA and JSP within an UNIX environment and developed as a Web-enabling base. It is expected for aiding a manager's decision-making such as resource inquiry, standard resource analysis, estimating the ratio of a government subsidy, case based reasoning, what-if analysis. The results of this paper suggest what points are to be considered when we apply ABC for Government Investment Corporation.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the variations of out-of- roundness due to its assessment methods for the practical workpieces. Experiments were carried out with the test specimens having the typical roundness profile. The roundness measuring system which has the autocentripetal functions and the automatic centering table unit was used. From the experimental results, it was found that the ratio of LSC to MZC values varied with the shape of roundness profiles, and the rate of variation for out-of-roundness was increased logarithmically with the increment of undulations by the effect of filter. Therefore, it is suggested that the least squares center method should be useful with the sufficient accuracy except for some special cases in the roundness profiles, and the condition of filter has considerable influence upon the out-of-roundness to be measured.
