PURPOSE. To assess the clinical performance of monolithic CAD-CAM lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDGC) crowns and metal-ceramic (MC) crowns provided by predoctoral students. This study also assessed the effects of patient and provider-related factors on their clinical performance as well as patient preference for these types of crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twenty-five patients who received 50 crowns (25 LDGC CAD-CAM and 25 MC) provided by predoctoral students were retrospectively examined. LDGC CAD-CAM crowns were milled in-house using the CEREC Bluecam system and cemented with either RelyX Unicem or Calibra Esthetic resin cements. MC crowns were cemented with RelyX Unicem cement. Clinical assessment of the crowns and the supporting periodontal structures were performed following the modified California Dental Association (CDA) criteria. Patients' preference was recorded using a visual analog scale (VAS). The results were statistically analyzed using log-rank test, Pearson Chi-squared test and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS. Twelve complications were observed in the MC crown group (9-esthetic, 2-technical and 1-biological). In comparison, 2 complications in the LDGC CAD-CAM crown group were observed (1-technical and 1-esthetic). The 6-year cumulative survival rates for MC crowns and LDGC CAD-CAM were 90.8% and 96%, respectively, whereas the success rates were 83.4% and 96%, respectively. Overall, patients preferred the esthetic outcomes of LDGC CAD-CAM crowns over MC crowns. CONCLUSION. The high survival and success rates, low number of complications, and the high level of patients' acceptance of monolithic LDGC CAD-CAM crowns lend them well as predictable and viable alternatives to the "gold standard" MC crowns.

철근콘크리트 건축물의 대형화 및 고층화에 대응하여 고성능 콘크리트가 개발되어 사용되고 있지만 레올로지 특성평가가 적절히 이뤄지지 않아 시공설계를 위한 수치해석에 소성점도 및 항복값의 책정이 적절하지 못한 실정이며 이로 인해 경화된 콘크리트 품질 안정화에 많은 문제점을 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고로슬래그 미분말 혼입 시멘트 페이스트를 대상으로 물분체비 및 치환율을 실험인자로 응결진행하의 시간경과에 따른 컨시스턴시 곡선을 측정하였다. 빙함모델로 가정한 회귀분석을 통해 소성점도 및 항복값을 산출한 결과 물분체비가 작을수록 초결 전후의 변화가 급격한 것을 알 수 있었다. 치환율을 40%까지 상승시키더라도 자유수변화와 고로슬래그 미분말의 불투수성 산화피막 형성에 의한 코팅효과가 상쇄되어 큰 변화로 관찰되지 않았다.

최근 유통 물류 산업의 발달로 산업용 창고 바닥의 중요성a이 점점 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 바닥재료로 사용되어 온 일반 시멘트계 모르타르가 가지고 있는 유동성의 한계 및 긴 양생 시간 등의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 속경성 폴리머 모르타르 바닥소재를 개발하였다. 속경성 확보를 위해 초속경 시멘트를 결합재로 사용하였고, VAE 폴리머 분말수지를 5%~20% 혼입 범위로 설정한 4종류의 배합과 혼입하지 않은 Proto배합에 대한 기초물성을 유동성실험, 압축강도실험, 휨강도실험, 부착강도실험 및 마모실험을 통해 평가하였다. 유동성 실험결과를 통해 고성능 감수제량를 조절함으로써 플로우 250 mm 이상의 고유동 특성을 확보할 수 있었다. VAE 폴리머 혼입은 압축강도 감소에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만 휨강도는 Proto배합에 비해 우수하게 증진시킬 수 있어 압축강도/휨강도비를 증가시키는 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 최소 2.6배 이상의 부착강도 향상과 4배 이상의 마모저항성을 확보할 수 있었다. 역학적 실험을 통해 VAE 폴리머 최적 혼입률을 10%로 결정하였고, 현장적용 및 모니터링을 수행한 결과 VAE 폴리머를 혼입하지 않은 바닥재에 비해 오염도, 충격에 의한 저항, 부착성능 등이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

The wound induction motor can provide high starting torque and reduced starting current simultaneously by inserting large scale resistor. And this technique is one of the well known methods among the induction motor starting methods and generally used for heavy load starting such as Crain and Cement factories. The conventional PI controller has been widely used in industrial application due to the simple control algorithm and in general, PI controller is used for control of current, torque, position, and speed for the wound induction motor drive system. However, the system may result in poor performance since sensors have to be used, which in turn is limited by the environmental condition. Recently, to overcome these problems, many sensorless vector control methods for the wound induction motor have been studied. This paper presents MRAS method with on-line stator resistance tuning for sensorless vector control of the wound induction motor drive. In conventional MRAS method, in low frequency, stator resistance variation can result in poor performance. Therefore, to overcome several shortages of the conventional MRAS caused by parameter variation and enhance robustness of the sensor less vector control, this paper investigates a MRAS method with on-line stator resistance tuning for sensorless vector control of the wound induction motor. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through digital simulation.

Focused on the material-related aspect for enhancing the durability of concrete, the present study analyzed the effect of glycol ether admixture, which is a chemical admixture that can compact the structure of concrete by entraining air inside the concrete, on the basic physical properties and durability characteristic of the concrete. In analyzing the results of experiment, we examined the basic physical properties and durability characteristic of concrete according to addition rate based on OPC and selected the optimal addition rate. In addition, with the optimal addition rate, we added glycol ether admixture to concrete, which contained fly ash used as binder and high-performance water reducing agent for reducing the unit quantity, and examined changes in the characteristics of the concrete. According to the result, the optimal addition rate of glycol ether admixture was 3% of the unit quantity of cement, and the addition of binder and chemical admixture did not have a significant effect on unhardened concrete but reduced the air content. In addition, concrete showed resistance performance of around 30% to carbonation and around 40% to drying shrinkage. In addition, as for resistance to freezing and thawing, the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity was over around 85% through atmospheric curing. These performances prove the effect.

In order to provide sufficient stability and resistance against bleeding and segregation during transportation and placing, mineral admixtures are often used in self-compacting concrete mixes (SCC). These fine materials also contribute to reducing the construction cost and the consumption of natural resources. Many studies have confirmed the benefits of these mineral admixtures on properties of SCC in standard curing conditions. However, there are few published reports regarding their effects at elevated curing temperatures. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of three different mineral admixtures namely limestone powder (LP), granulated blast furnace slag (GS) and natural pozzolana (PZ) on mechanical properties and porosity of SCC when exposed to different curing temperatures (20, 40, 60 and $80^{\circ}C$). The level of substitution of cement by mineral admixture was fixed at 15%. The results showed that increasing curing temperature causes an improvement in performance at an early age without penalizing its long-term properties. However the temperature of $40^{\circ}C$ is considered the optimal curing temperature to make economical and high performance SCC. On the other hand, GS is the most suitable mineral admixture for SCC under elevated curing temperature.

Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete(ALC) features such as a high performance insulation, the fire resistance, the advantage of easy handing construction, and lightweight panels applied the curtain wall system. ALC materials are certified as non-toxic environmental and eco-friendly productions. But ALC external panels mixed with blast furnace slag pounder and silica fume have to be coated with a stucco compound or plaster because of resisting the ambient environment. This study is that mixing tests to evaluate a performance analysis of exterior paints to be make-up pigments(organic or inorganic) coated with panel surface. Testing compared by KS F 2476; flow test, KS F 2426; compression strength test, KS F 2762; bond strength test. In results, the case of the inorganic binder, ratio of alumina cement : anhydrite is 90:10 to 80:20 at the highest level of intensity. In the case of the organic binder, adhesive strength rating at surface of ALC, the pullout strength is below 0.5 $N/mm^2$ but the normal concrete is over 2.0$N/mm^2$. A contents ratio of EVA resin is more than 3% and then bond strength is effectively.

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in the fresh state is known for its excellent deformability, high resistance to segregation, and use, without applying vibration, in congested reinforced concrete structures characterized by difficult casting conditions. Such a concrete can be obtained by incorporating either mineral or chemical admixtures. This paper presents the results of an investigation to asses the applicability of Abram's law in predicting the compressive strength of SCC to any given age. Abram's law is based on the assumption that the strength of concrete with a specific type of aggregate at given age cured at a prescribed temperature depends primarily on the water-to-cement ratio (W/C). It is doubtful that such W/C law is applicable to concrete mixes with mineral or chemical admixtures as is the case for SCC where water to binder ratio (W/B) is used instead of W/C as the basis for mix design. Strength data of various types of SCC mixtures is collected from different sources to check the performance of Abram's law. An attempt has been made to generalize Abram's law by using various optimization methodologies on collected strength data of various SCC mixtures. A set of generalized equations is developed for the prediction of SCC strength at various ages. The performance of generalized equations is found better than original Abram's equations.

The introduction of bio-based materials has been recommended in the geotechnical engineering field to reduce environmental pollutants such as heavy metals and greenhouse gases. However, bio-treated soil methods face limitations in field application due to short research periods and insufficient verification of engineering performance, especially when compared to conventional materials like cement. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a machine learning model for predicting the unconfined compressive strength, a representative soil property, of biopolymer-based soil treatment (BPST). Four machine learning algorithms were compared to determine a suitable model, including linear regression (LR), support vector regression (SVR), random forest (RF), and neural network (NN). Except for LR, the SVR, RF, and NN algorithms exhibited high predictive performance with an R² value of 0.98 or higher. The permutation feature importance technique was used to identify the main factors affecting the strength enhancement of BPST. The results indicated that the unconfined compressive strength of BPST is affected by mean particle size, followed by biopolymer content and water content. With a reliable prediction model, the proposed model can present guidelines prior to laboratory testing and field application, thereby saving a significant amount of time and money.
