The existing research on the damage detection method for building structures has considered the damages from the excessive loadings such as the earthquake. However, the structural performance of building structures could be reduced due to the deterioration based on the chloride, carbonation during the long-term time. Thus, to effectively manage the healthiness of structures, the deterioration influences on the structures should be checked. In this study, the corrosion of rebars by the chloride is considered as the deterioration factor. To consider the structural performance reduction of the corroded rebars, the yield strength, cross-sectional area, rupture strain of rebars and the compressive strength of cover concrete based on the corrosion level are estimated. These properties of rebars and cover concrete are used for the procedure to evaluate the structural performance reduction of structural member level and the building level. The moment-curvature analysis is performed to evaluate the structural performance reduction of structural member level. Also, the eigenvalue analysis and the pushover analysis are performed to investigate the natural period and mode shape and the strength and deformation performance of buildings, respectively.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence and degree of lingual concavities in the first molar region of the mandible to reduce the risk of perforating the lingual cortical bone during dental implant insertion. Methods: A total of 163 suitable cross-sectional cone-beam computed tomography images of edentulous mandibular first molar regions were evaluated. The mandibular morphology was classified as a U-configuration (undercut), a P-configuration (parallel), or a C-configuration (convex), depending on the shape of the alveolar ridge. The characteristics of lingual concavities, including their depth, angle, vertical location, and additional parameters, were measured. Results: Lingual undercuts had a prevalence of 32.5% in the first molar region. The mean concavity angle was 63.34°±8.26°, and the mean linear concavity depth (LCD) was 3.03±0.99 mm. The mean vertical distances of point P from the alveolar crest (Vc) and from the inferior mandibular border were 9.39±3.39 and 16.25±2.44, respectively. Men displayed a larger vertical height from the alveolar crest to 2 mm coronal to the inferior alveolar nerve (Vcb) and a wider LCD than women (P<0.05). Negative correlations were found between age and buccolingual width at 2 mm apical to the alveolar crest, between age and Vcb, between age and Vc, and between age and LCD (P<0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of lingual concavities was 32.5% in this study. Age and gender had statistically significant effects on the lingual morphology. The risk of lingual perforation was higher in young men than in the other groups analyzed.

This paper presents experimental results on the behaviour and ultimate load of fifteen pipes and six roof panels made of ferrocement. Additional results from three roof panels, carried out by others, are also compared with this research results. OPC cement, natural sand and galvanised iron wire mesh were used for the construction of 20 mm thick specimens. The pipe length was 2 m and roof panel length was 2.1 m. The main variables studied were the number of wire mesh layers which were 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 layers, the inner pipe diameter which were 105, 210 and 315 mm, cross sectional shape of the panel which were channel and box sections and the depth of the edge beam which were 95 mm and 50 mm. All specimens were simply supported and tested for pure bending with test span of 600 mm at mid-span. Tests revealed that increasing the number of wire mesh layers increases the flexural strength and stiffness. Increasing the pipe diameter or depth of edge beam of the panel increases the cracking and ultimate moments. The change in the pipe diameter led to larger effect on ultimate moment than the effect of change in the number of wire mesh layers. The box section showed behaviour and strength similar to that of the channel with same depth and number of wire mesh layers.

An epitaxial GaN layer was grown on a cone-shape-patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) (Sample A) and an AlN-buffered PSS (Sample B) with two growth steps under the same process conditions by employing the hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method. We have investigated the characteristics of the GaN layer grown on two kinds of substrates at each growth step. The cross-sectional SEM image of the GaN layer grown on the two types of substrates showed growth states of GaN layers formed during the 1st and 2nd growth steps with different growth durations. Dislocation density was obtained by calculation using the FWHM value of the rocking curve for (002) and (102). Sample A showed 2.62+08E and 6.66+08E and sample B exhibited 5.74+07E and 1.65+08E for two different planes. The red shift was observed is photoluminescence (PL) analysis and Raman spectroscopy results. GaN layers grown on AlN-buffered PSS exhibited better optical and crystallographic properties than GaN layers grown on PSS.

The porous media of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is made of deformable materials. The shape of cross sectional area in air plate channels has been changed by structural deformation of the porous media. The uniform mass flow rate and pressure are major factors for safe and efficient operation in the PEMFC. Two kinds of models are provided for the flow analyses. Deformable and undeformable porous media are considered for numerical analysis and experiment of the air plate model. The numerical flow analysis results with deformable and undeformable porous media has some discrepancy in pressure distribution. The pressure differences are measured in order to compare with numerical analysis results. Pressures are measured between inlet and outlet of the air plate. The numerical analysis and experimental results show similar pressure distribution. It is shown that the pressure drops in the two approaches are well matched each other. It is proven that the consideration of structural deformation is required in the numerical analysis/experiment for the PEMFC design.

목 적: 통상적인 근관성형 과정에서 근관형태의 직선화 경향을 발견할수 있으며 그 결과 만곡이 심한 근관에서 이상적인 근관 형태를 얻기가 어려움으로 인해 이를 극복하기 위한 많은 기구들과 근관 성형법들이 개선되었고 소개되었다. 본 연구에서는 수통형 Stainless Steel K-file, Niti 엔진 구동형 Profile .04와 Quantec LX file를 이용하여 만곡 근관의 성형 후 최종 근관 형태를 비교하고 평가하고자 한다. 방 법: 본 실험은 Bramante등의 방법을 변형하여 술 전의 근관 형태와 술 후의 근관 형태를 비교하였다. Schneider의 방법에 따라 $12^{\circ}$에서 $68^{\circ}$ 이내에 만독도를 가진 45개의 발거된 상하악 대구치의 근심근관들을 선택하여 15개씩 3개의 군으로 나누고 알루미늄으로 제작된 mold에 투명한 교정용 레진으로 매몰하였다. 근첨에서 2.5, 5, 8mm 지점에서 절단하고 각 mold에 재조립한 후 다음과 같이 근관 성형을 시행하였다. 제 1 군은 SS K-file를 이용하여 Step-back 방법; 제 2 군은 NiTi 엔진 구동형인 Profile .04 ; 제 3 군은 NiTi 엔진 구동형인 Quantec LX file로 근관 성형하였다. 술 전과 술 후에, 각 시편들을 입체 현미경으로 사진 촬영하여 근관 중심 위치 이동률, 근관성형 후 면적과 모양, 잔존 상아질의 최 소 두께를 Sigma scan / image software program으로 계산하고 One way ANOVA로 통계적 유의성을 검증하였다. 결 론: 1. Profile .04와 Quantec LX는 SS K-file보다 근관성형시 근관의 본 형태를 유지하는 경향이 있었으나 통계적으로 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 근관 성형 후 면적은 Profile .04 엔진 구동형 NiTi file를 이용한 군이 다른 군과 비해 가장 적었으나 통계적으로 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 모든 방법들은 같은 부위에서 같은 방향으로 전이되는 양상을 보였다. 즉, 근단부에서는 바깥쪽으로, 중앙부에서는 안쪽으로 전이하려는 경향이 있었다. 그러나, 치관부에는 그러한 법칙이 적용되지 않아 전이되는 양상이 안쪽이나 바깥쪽으로 구별되지 않게 일어났다. 3. 술 후에 근관의 모양은 원형, 타원형, 불균일한 형태들이 다양하게 나타났지만, Profile .04와 Quantec LX를 사용했을 때 주로 원형 형태의 근관을 보여주었으며 Stainless Steel K-file은 타원형이나 불균일한 근관 형태를 보였다.

A combination of the instrumented indentation and 3D morphology measurement has been tried in order to perform a real-time property measurement of degraded materials in gas pipelines; three-dimensional indent morphologies were recorded using a reflective laser scanner after a series of insturmented indentations on three metallic specimens. Dimensions of the permanent deformation zone and contact boundary were analyzed from the cross-sectional profile over an remnant indent and used for estimating yield strength and hardness, respectively. Estimated yield strength was comparable with that from uniaxial tensile test and actual hardness implying material pile-up effects was lower than the calculated value from indentation curve by $20{\sim}30%$. It means that this 3D image analysis can explain the material pile-up effects on the contact properties. Additionally, a combined system of indentation and laser sensor was newly designed by modifying a shape of the indentation loading fixture.

The purpose of this study is to investigate characteristics of hydromorpological structures that affect landscape preference and visual characteristics on the sections of the designated streams where have dynamic ecological characteristics. We evaluated the ecological status of the streams utilizing LAWA to assess hydromorpological structures of streams. We also investigated preference and visual characteristics of stream landscapes through Semantic Differential Scale(SD scale). The differences of visual images according to the characteristics of hydromorpological structures in the sites were analyzed by descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA, and t-test. As a result, this study showed that sections represented as "good" ecological status are shown to be harmonious, beautiful, natural, and clean comparing to sections represented as "poor" ecological status. The hydromorpological structures that have significant impacts on the visual characteristics are considered as riparian vegetation, cross-sectional shape, and the artificial structures. Results of this study can help guide the stream restoration of the damaged stream to improving ecological function and positive landscape.

Micro-forming is a suited technology to manufacture very small metallic parts(several $mm{\sim}{\mu}m$). Micro-forming of $Zr_{62}Cu_{17}Ni_{13}Al_8$ bulk metallic glass(BMG) as a candidate material for this developing process are feasible at a relatively low stress in the supercooled liquid state without any crystallization during hot deformation. In this study, micro-formability of a representative bulk metallic glass, $Zr_{62}Cu_{17}Ni_{13}Al_8$, was investigated for micro-forging of U-shape pattern. Micro-formability was estimated by comparing $R_f$ values $(=A_f/A_g)$, where Ag is cross-sectional area of U groove, and $A_f$ the filled area by material. Microforging process was simulated and analyzed by applying finite element method. FEM simulation results should reasonable agreement with the experimental results when the material properties and simulation conditions such as top die speed, remeshing criteria and boundary conditions tightly controlled. The micro-formability of $Zr_{62}Cu_{17}Ni_{13}Al_8$ was increased with increasing load and time in the temperature range of the supercooled liquid state. Also, FEM Simulation using DEFORM was confirmed to be applicable for the micro-forming process simulation.
