I. Objectives Narrow long oval canals usually cannot be instrumented completely and uninstrumented extensions or irregularities usually remain. The aim of this study was to compare the ability of syringe irrigation and ultrasound irrigation to remove dentin debris from simulations of uninstrumented canal extensions and irregularities.(omitted)

The poor seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings during the latest earthquakes has become a serious issue in the building industry in Turkey. This case, designing new buildings without structural irregularities against earthquake loads reveals to be quite significant. This study mainly is focused on the effects of different torsional irregularities on construction costs and earthquakes performance of reinforced concrete buildings. In that respect, structural torsional irregularities are investigated based on the Turkish Earthquake Code. The study consists of major eight main parametric models. In this models consist of totally 49 models together with the variations in the number of storey. With this purpose, the earthquake performances and construction costs (especially steel quantities) of reinforced concrete buildings which having different structural torsional irregularities were obtained with the help of Sta4-CAD program. Each model has been analyzed by both the methods of equivalent earthquake loading and dynamic analysis. The obtained results reveal that the model-1 which has lower torsional irregularity coefficient shows the best earthquake performance owing to its regular plan geometry. Also, economical comparisons on costs of the torsional irregularity are performed, and results-recommendations are given.

The vertical irregularities occurred in the structure may lessen the overall seismic capacity of the structure. Seismic capacity evaluation guidelines (e.g. FEMA 175, ATC-14) propose the criterion for the vertical irregularities of mass, stiffness and strength respectively. But, the criterion seems groundless and leads us to make a true/false decision only. This study is to draw a reasonable basis on which multi-level grading is possible based fur the evaluation of existing buildings. Time history analysis for 3-,5-, and 10-story steel frame structures has been performed using several earthquake data. ANN (Artificial Neural Network) is introduced to find the relative contribution factor of the irregularities along the irregular position. Also, the application system fur the seismic capacity evaluation can be established using the trained ANN.

The whole track system is designed and maintained to provide satisfactory geometry. Renewal and collection decisions are often governed by track irregularities. To provide cost-effective track to meet in the need in the future it is essential to be able to improve the methods by which the performance of the track is monitored and to have reliable methods for prediction and planning. This paper develops computer-aided system for analysis and management of track irregularities. The main objective is to collect and monitor track irregularities for each conventional line to be used as an aid in making decisions on track correction and renewal. The final decision especially on track renewal, however, always be a decision made by man and not by computer-aided system.

The riding comfort and the durability of train are effected by the rail irregularities such as track gauge, superelevation, alignment, longitudinal level, twist, cant and cross level. Inspection and estimation of irregularities are very important to maintain the rail condition. Generally, the EM120 has been utilized to measure the rail irregularities once a month in Korea. However, the EM120 can be operated at night time only, because the inspection speed of EM120 is much slower than the speed of high-speed trains. Also, the EM120 is too slow to inspect effectively for the whole commercial line. Therefore, we have mounted the track inspection system on the High-Speed Rolling Stock 350 eXperimental (HSR350X) and measured the rail irregularities to confirm the condition of a rail while running 300km/h. In this paper, the track inspection system mounted on HSR350X is mainly considered, and the measured results through test run are introduced.

The paper focuses on dynamic analyses of a series of simply-supported symmetric composite steel-concrete bridges loaded by an ICE-3 train moving at high speeds up to 300 km/h. The series includes five bridges with span lengths ranging from 15 m to 27 m, with repeatable geometry of the superstructures. The objects, designed according to Polish standards valid from 1980s to 2010, are modelled on the bridges serviced on the Central Main Line in Poland since 1980s. The advanced, two-dimensional, physically nonlinear model of the bridge-track structure-high-speed train system takes into account unilateral nonlinear wheel-rail contact according to Hertz's theory and random vertical track irregularities equal for both rails. The analyses are focused on the influence of random track irregularities on dynamic response of composite steel-concrete bridges loaded by an ICE-3 train. It has been pointed out that certain restrictions on the train speed and on vertical track irregularities should be imposed.

In this paper, modeling methods for 2D joints are proposed. Earlier methods for modeling 2D joints that use geometric relationships may not consider irregularities or dynamic effects of joints. In any case, it is important to consider irregularities or dynamic effects. To consider those, methods that use dynamic contacts are proposed. With the method, 2D joints that have irregularities or dynamic effects amy be model- ed and analyzed. 2D joints that are developed are revolute, translational, gear and point-follower joint.

궤도틀림은 철도차량의 주행안전성과 승차감에 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 유지보수와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 경부고속철도 개통 이후 경부고속선 구간에서 검측된 궤도틀림에 대하여 통계분석을 수행하였다. 우선, 궤도틀림 검측에 사용된 검측차(EM120)의 검측특성, 즉 현정시법 검측원리를 사용하는 경우에 대한 파장대역별 전달함수 특성을 조사하였다. 고저틀림과 방향틀림에 대한 파장의 분포 특성 분석결과에 의하면, 단파장의 파장대역의 분포비율이 상당히 높았으며 파장이 길어질수록 발생빈도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. EN규정에서 규정하고 있는 파장대역별로 구분하여 분포 현황을 조사한 결과는 D1 영역의 분포비율이 대부분을 차지하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 궤도틀림 항목별로 궤도틀림 크기에 따른 분포 특성을 조사하였으며, 궤도틀림의 크기가 증가할수록 발생빈도는 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 궤도틀림 분포 특성에 대한 조사결과는 궤도틀림 유지보수 계획수립 및 궤도틀림 기준설정을 위한 기초자료로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

The seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures with irregularities leading to soft first floor is studied using capacity assessment procedures. The soft first story effect is investigated for the cases: (i) slab-column connections without beams at the first floor, (ii) tall first story height and (iii) pilotis type building (open ground story). The effects of the first floor irregularity on the RC frame structure performance stages at global and local level (limit states) are investigated. Assessment based on the Capacity Spectrum Method (ATC-40) and on the Coefficient Method (FEMA 356) is also examined. Results in terms of failure modes, capacity curves, interstory drifts, ductility requirements and infills behaviour are presented. From the results it can be deduced that the global capacity of the structures is decreased due to the considered first floor morphology irregularities in comparison to the capacities of the regular structure. An increase of the demands for interstory drift is observed at the first floor level due to the considered irregularities while the open ground floor structure (pilotis type) led to even higher values of interstory drift demands at the first story. In the cases of tall first story and slab-column connections without beams soft-story mechanisms have also been observed at the first floor. Rotational criteria (EC8-part3) showed that the structure with slab-column connections without beams exhibited the most critical response.
