In recent, the design of diaphragm which is representative disturbed region in PSC box girder bridge have been performed according to the empirical method or beam theory. But, these methods couldn't be described the behavior of the end diaphragm, and placed reinforcements accurately. As the compressive stress transferred by the web concentrated on the lower parts of diaphragm, it was demonstrated that the basic assumption of 2-D strut-and-tie model for the diaphragm that the compressive stress acts on the upper parts of the diaphragm is wrong. Meanwhile, in this research, after analyzing the variables of end diaphragm, the 2-D strut-and-tie models appropriate to each cases are proposed. And, the problems of 2-D strut-and-tie model were analyzed, so 3-D strut-and-tie model is proposed as well. There is no codes which include the demonstration of safety of 3-D strut-and-tie model. Hence, for nodes, the stresses at the elements which included the singular node in strut-and-tie model were investigated using the finite element analysis. And, the stress states of strut has one direction, so effective stresses were considered at the stage, dimensioning of the model. From the results, 3-D strut-and-tie model could predict the behavior of end diaphragm accurately, and design of reinforcement could be performed economically.

Background: Neuromuscular ultrasound can be used to assess the diaphragm. Before it can be used clinically, the reference ranges of diaphragm thickness and contractility must be determined. Methods: We measured the thickness of the diaphragm and the diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) in 80 healthy volunteers with ultrasound and collected their demographic information to determine if age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) influence these measures. Results: The thickness of the diaphragm at resting end expiration was $0.193{\pm}0.044cm$ on the right side and $0.187{\pm}0.039cm$ on the left. The DTF was $104.8{\pm}50.6%$ on the right side and $114.9{\pm}49.2%$ on the left. Sex, weight, height, and BMI significantly affected the thickness of the diaphragm, but had little effect on the DTF. Conclusions: Normal reference values for the diaphragm should be helpful when evaluating the diaphragm. The DTF appears more useful than resting diaphragm thickness because it is affected less by individual variation.

Steel box girders have two webs and two flanges on top that are usually connected with shear connectors to the concrete deck and are also known as tub girders. The end diaphragms of such bridges comprise of a stiffened steel plate welded to the inside of the girder at each end. The diaphragms play a major role in transferring vertical and lateral loads to the bearings and substructure. A review of literature shows that the cyclic behavior of diaphragms under earthquake loading has not been studied previously. This paper uses a nonlinear finite element model to study the behavior of the end diaphragms under gravity and seismic loads. Different bearing device and stiffener configurations have been considered. Affected areas of the diaphragm are distinguished.

본 연구에서는 생체 내부의 압력을 측정하기 위하여 Si를 얇은 막으로 사용한 FFPI(fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometer) 압력센서를 개발하였다. 얇은 Si 막과 Si 막의 비등방 지지 구조물은 수산화 칼륨 수용액에서의 식각과 미세가공 기술로 제작하였다. 센서의 구조는 두 반사막 사이의 길이가 15mm이며 수직 절단된 센서의 끝단은 두게 50$\mu\textrm{m}$의 얇은 Si막에 연결하였다. 얇은 Si막의 면적이 2$\times$2mm$^2$ 압력센서의 경우 압력감도는 -1.5 degree/kPa였다. 본 연구에서 제작한 압력센서는 80kpa의 압력 범위 내에서 압력 증가에 따라 비교적 선형적인 위상변화를 보였다.

This paper aims to study the seismic performance of external diaphragm connection between SST (square steel tube) column and H-shaped beam through experimental and analytical study involving finite element (FE) method and theoretical analysis. In the experimental study, three external diaphragm connection specimens with weak panel zone were tested under axial pressure on the top of the column and antisymmetric cyclic loads at the beam end to investigate the seismic performance of the panel zone. The hysteretic behavior, failure mode, stiffness and ductility of the specimens were discussed. Key point to be explored was the influence of the thickness of the steel tube flange on the shear capacity of the specimens. In the analytical study, three simplified FE models were developed to simulate the seismic behavior of the specimens for further analysis on the influence of steel tube flange. Finally, four existing calculation formulas for the shear capacity of the external diaphragm connection were evaluated through comparisons with the results of experiments and FE analysis, and application suggestions were put forward.

콘크리트 충전강관(Concrete Filled Steel Tube, 이하 CFT) 기둥에 사용되는 내다이아프램은 사용 강재량은 적으나 강관과 네 면을 용접해야 하므로 용접이 까다롭고 개구부가 필요한 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서 살펴보고자하는 개선 다이아프램은 콘크리트 충전을 위한 중앙부 홀을 4등분하여 각 코너부위를 절삭했다. 개선 다이아프램은 중앙부 홀의 넓이는 기존 다이아프램과 동일하지만 강관과 접하는 다이아프램의 폭이 감소하여 용접 길이가 기존 다이아프램 대비 약 70%가 감소된다. 개선 다이아프램의 인장성능을 검토하기 위하여 콘크리트 타설 홀의 반지름인 R값을 설계 변수로 3개의 실험체를 제작하였다. 단순 인장 실험을 통하여 내다이아프램에 동일 하중을 받았을 때 각 실험체의 면내 변형률을 분석하였다. 범용유한요소해석 프로그램을(ANSYS 19.2)를 사용하여 실제 단순 인장 실험과 동일한 조건으로 해석을 수행하고 개선 다이아프램과 기존 다이아프램의 하중 전달을 비교하였다. 다이아프램의 폭이 플랜지 폭과 같거나 작을 때는 다이아프램의 단부에서 부터 응력이 집중되고 플랜지 폭이 더 클 때는 중앙부에서 응력이 집중되는 것을 확인하였다.

Coarctation of the aorta is classically a congenital narrowing of the upper descending thorac aorta adjacent to the site of attachment of the ductus arteriosus which is sufficiently severe that there is a pressure gradient across the area. Recently we have experienced two cases of coarctation of the aorta and successfully performed resection of the sites of coarctation and end to end anastomosis of the aorta. The first case was a juxtaductal type of coarctation of the aorta with PDA and the pathology of the lesion was a diaphragm with central narrow opening. And the resection length was about 0.5cm and aortic clamping time was 20 minutes. The second case was also juxtaductal type coarctation of the aorta with mild tubular hypoplasia of aortic isthmus, left SVC and the pathology was also a diaphragm with central narrow opening. And the resection length was about 0.5cm and aortic clamping time was 29 minutes. Both postoperative course was uneventful and the patients were discharged two weeks after operation.

This paper introduces general concepts of jointless bridges and field construction case of semi-integral bridge with psc girder integrating end-diaphragm. The expansion joints need to satisfy thermal and safety conditions of bridges. General bridges with joints have some problems, which are frequently replacement cycle time from mechanical damage or unstable movement, maintenance cost and more. To solve these problems, Integral Abutment Bridges(IAB) have been applied overseas in the 1930s. In Korea, first IAB was constructed in the early 2000s and precast IAB systems was invented and applied lately. Kyungshin overpass bridge in Incheon is the Semi-IAB constructed, the span length is 2@35=70m and the width is 13.9m. The original plan was to use general joint bridge but design field changed with expectations for advanced economic estimation and maintenance. This changed method of B.I.B bridge construction provided not only workability, construction cost but also safety improvement at the same time.

The force transfer mechanism in positive moment continuity details for prestressed concrete girder bridges is investigated in this paper using a three-dimensional detailed finite element model. Positive moment reinforcement in the form of hairpin bars as recommended by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report No 519 is incorporated in the model. The cold construction joint that develops at the interface between girder ends and continuity diaphragms is also simulated via contact elements. The model is then subjected to the positive moment and corresponding shear forces that would develop over the service life of the bridge. The stress distribution in the continuity diaphragm and the axial force distribution in the hairpin bars are presented. It was found that due to the asymmetric configuration of the hairpin bars, asymmetric stress distribution develops at the continuity diaphragm, which can be exacerbated by other asymmetric factors such as skewed bridge configurations. It was also observed that when the joint is subjected to a positive moment, the tensile force is transferred from the girder end to the continuity diaphragm only through the hairpin bars due to the lack of contact between the both members at the construction joint. As a result, the stress distribution at girder ends was found to be concentrated around the hairpin bars influence area, rather than be resisted by the entire girder composite section. Finally, the results are used to develop an approach for estimating the cracking moment capacity at girder ends based on a proposed effective moment of inertia.
