Tunnel site where high water pressure is applied, such as subsea tunnel, generally selects the shield TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) to maintain the tunnel excavation face. The shield TBM has cutters installed, and the cutters wear out during the process of excavation, so it should be checked and replaced regularly. This is called CHI (Cutterhead Intervention). The conventional CHI under high water pressure is very disadvantageous in terms of safety and economics because humans perform work in response to high water pressure and huge water inflow in the chamber. To overcome this disadvantage, this study proposes a new method to dramatically reduce water pressure and water ingress by injecting an appropriate grout solution into the front of the tunnel face through the shield TBM chamber, called New Face Grouting Method (NFGM). The tunnel model tests were performed to determine the characteristics, injection volume, and curing time of grout solution to be applied to the NFGM. Model test apparatus was composed of a pressure soil tank, a model shield TBM, a grout tank, and an air compressor to measure the amount of water inflow into the chamber. The model tests were conducted by changing the injection amount of the grout solution, the curing time after the grout injection, and the water/cement ratio of grout solution. From an economic point of view, the results showed that the injection volume of 1.0 L, curing time of 6 hours, and water/cement ratio of the grout solution between 1.5 and 2.0 are the most economical. It can be concluded that this study has presented a method to economically perform the CHI under the high water pressure.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the lifestyle modification coaching program on self efficacy, lifestyle and physiologic indexes related to the recurrence of stroke in patients with stroke. Methods: Sixty-one patients with stroke registered with a stroke center participated in this study. Of the participants, 32 were assigned to the experimental group and 29 to the control group. Self efficacy, alcohol drinking, smoking, physical activity, BMI (body mass index), WHR (waist-hip ratio), blood lipid level, and blood pressure were measured both for the baseline, as well as after intervention. The lifestyle modification coaching program consisted of an 8-week telecoaching session following face-to-face education. The control group received only the face-to-face education. Results: There were significant differences in physical activities, WHR, blood pressure within and between groups after intervention. The lifestyle modification coaching program had significant influences on blood pressure even after gender, age, and physical activity had been adjusted. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that lifestyle modification coaching program is effective for physical activity, abdominal obesity and blood pressure. Therefore it can be used by nurses in hospitals and communities as one of the secondary stroke prevention programs for patients with stroke.

Underground tunnelling is one of the sustainable construction methods which can facilitate the increasing passenger transportation in the urban areas and benefit the community in the long term. Tunnelling in various ground conditions requires careful consideration of the stability factor. This paper investigates three dimensional stability of a shallow circular tunnel in a layered soil. Upper bound theorem of limit analysis was utilised to solve the tunnel face stability problem. A three dimensional kinematic admissible failure mechanism was improved to model a layered soil and limiting assumptions of the previous studies were resolved. The study includes calculation of the minimum support pressure acting on the face of the excavation in closed-face excavations. The effects of the characteristics of the layers on the minimum support pressure were examined. It was found that the ratio of the thickness of cover layers particularly when a weak layer is overlying a stronger layer, has the most significant influence on the minimum tunnel support pressure. Comparisons have been made with the results of the numerical modelling using FLAC3D software. Results of the current study were in a remarkable agreement with those of numerical modelling.

The effects of angular misalignment, coning and the temperature difference between the primary seal ring and the seal seat on the pressure distribution in mechanical face seals are analyzed. The modified Reynolds equation for the temperature dependent viscosity was solved by a finite difference approximation and Gauss-Seidel method. It is shown that the amplitude of pressure is significantly affected by the misalignment of the seals and a large temperature difference between the rotor and the stator.

최근에 독일터널위원회(German Tunnelling Committee DAUB)에서 TBM 막장지보의 새로운 계산법을 발표하였다. 이에 따라 보쿰시에 위치한 Ruhr 대학의 Zdenek Zizka와 Markus Thewes가 새로운 방법에 대해 활발한 논의를 하였다. 이러한 권유사항은 다양한 터널막장 지보 계산방법에서 지반조건에 따라 가장 적절한 계산법을 선정하는데 도움이 된다.또한, 막장에 적용되는 지반압 혹은 지하수압에 따른 막장안정 계산법들을 논하였다. 이 보고서에는 Zdenek Zizak and Markus Thewes의 터널 막장지보 계산법에 대한 기술적 논의를 구체적으로 설명하는 것이 목적이다.

In order to design and improve a new machine tool, there is a need for a better understanding of the dynamic cutting force. In this paper, the computer programs were developed to predict the dynamic cutting force by the mean specific cutting pressure in the face milling process. The simulated cutiing forces in X, Y, Z directions resulted from the developed dynamic cutting force model are compared with the measured cutiing forces in the time and frequency domains. The simulated cutting force model have a good agreement with the measured forces in comparison with those resulted from the existing cutting force model.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify blood pressure control rate and related factors in hypertensive patients. Methods: Data were collected using face to face survey with measuring blood pressure from 268 hypertensive patients. Results: Subjects without spouses were 2.19 times more likely to control their blood pressures (p=.002). Whenever subjects came up 1 score in the low sodium diet score, they were 1.37 times more likely to control their blood pressures (p=.044). The possibility of blood pressure control rose 1.58 times per point in the stress management score (p=.011) and the sleep and rest score (p=.002). Conclusion: It is important to develop education and intervention program of lifestyle regarding low sodium diet, stress management and sleep and rest, in order to improve the blood pressure control.

터널을 굴착하면 굴진면 주변지반은 응력이 해방되고, 해방된 응력이 주변지반으로 재분배 되어 터널주변지반의 응력상태와 터널지보공에 작용하는 하중이 변한다. 굴진면에 변위가 발생하면 굴진면 전방지반이 이완되고 굴진면에 작용하는 토압은 감소하며, 변위가 일정한 크기 이상 커지면 굴진면 전방지반이 파괴상태에 이른다. 이때에 터널의 종방향으로 하중전이가 발생하며, 토피고나 굴진면의 변위정도에 따라 그 경향이 다르다. 굴진면 파괴에 따른 터널 종방향 하중전이에 대해서는 연구된 사례가 있으나, 굴진면 변위와 종방향 하중전이를 결부시켜서 연구한 사례는 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토사터널에서 모형실험을 수행하여 굴진면이 과다변위로 인해 파괴됨에 따른 종방향 하중전이의 특성을 파악하였다. 즉, 정지토압 상태에서 시작하여 굴진면의 변위가 진행됨에 따른 터널 종방향 하중전이를 모형실험을 수행하여 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 종방향 하중전이는 굴진면 변위 초기에 대부분이 발생하고 굴진면 변위가 한계변위에 근접할수록 완만한 기울기로 한계치에 수렴하였다. 즉, 종방향 하중전이는 굴진면 전방지반이 아직 탄성상태일 때 급격히 증가하였고, 지반이 한계상태에 근접하면 완만하게 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 굴진면에서 변위에 의한 토압감소와 터널 종방향 하중전이는 같은 추세로 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Face stability analyses provides the most probable failure mechanisms and the understanding about parameters that need to be considered for the evaluation of ground movements caused by tunneling. After the Upper Bound Method (UBM) solution which can consider the influence of seepage forces and depth-dependent effective cohesion is verified with the numerical experiments, the probabilistic model is proposed to calculate the unbiased limiting tunnel collapse pressure. A reliability analysis of a shallow circular tunnel driven by a pressurized shield in a frictional and cohesive soil is presented to consider the inherent uncertainty in the input parameters and the proposed model. The probability of failure that exceeding a specified applied pressure at the tunnel face is estimated. Sensitivity and importance measures are computed to identify the key parameters and random variables in the model.

In order to investigate the effect of nozzle on stress concentration in pressure vessels, three dimensional finite element analyses were performed. The results were compared with those for corresponding two dimensional axisymmetric finite element analyses. A three dimensional finite element model with a surface crack was also designed to evaluate the effect of internal pressure and heat transfer on crack face, and the resulting stress intensity factors from the finite element analyses were compared with those for ASME Sec. XI and Raju-Newman's stress intensity factor solution. As a result, the validity of currently available stress intensity factor solutions for a surface crack was reviewed in the presence of geometrical complexity, heat transfer and internal pressure.
