Precast deck joints have larger crack width than cast-in-place concrete decks. The initial crack typically occurs at the maximum moment but cracks on precast joints are significant and lead to failure of the deck. The present crack equation is applied to cast-in-place decks, and requires correction to calculate the crack width of precast deck joints. This research aims to study the crack width correction equation of precast decks by performing static tests using high strength and normal strength concrete. Based on experimental results, the bending strength of the structural connections of the current precast deck is satisfied. However it is not suitable to calculate and control the crack width of precast loop connections using the current design equation. A crack width calculation equation is proposed for crack control of precast deck loop joints. Also included in this paper are recommendations to improve the crack control of loop connections.

위치와 주파수 불확실성 곱이 작은 해석함수는 영상처리와 압축에 많은 장점이 있다. 지금까지의 불확실성원리에 기초하여 이 값을 계산하였으나, 이러한 측정은 최대 응답주파수가 0 이 아닌 인간시각필터에서 적절한 주파수 불확실성의 측정방법이 될 수 없다. 최대 응답을 갖는 주파수에 대한 주파수 불확실성을 계산하는 새로운 측정방법을 이용하여 결합유효폭을 유도하고자 한다. 결합변수가 커지면 많은 함수들의 결합유효폭이 0.5로 수렴하는 해석 결과를 얻었으며, 고려 대상 중에서 Gabor cosine 함수가 우수한 성능을 보였다.

This study was designed to evaluate the morphology of the temporomandibular joint components and dentofacial characteristics of patients with clicking and painful temporomadibular joint. The materials consisted of 80 conventional pantomographs in normal an symptomatic individuals aged 18-23 and divided into 2 groups by symptom of temporomandibular joint. The results were as follows; 1. In morphologic analysis of condylar head, type Ⅰ (anterior, posterior smooth curve) was most dominant in both group(58.75%, 55.0%) and asymmetrical condylar shape was predominant in symptomatic group (18 cases, 45%). 2. In symptomatic group, the condylar width were slightly lesser and the ratio of condylar height to height of condyle-ramus were larger than those of normal group. 3. Vertical overlap of central incisor of symptomatic group was slightly larger than that of normal group. There was significant differences between each group in mandibular midline deviation. 4. The symptomatic group tended to steep mandibular plane angle and the degree of condylar path and condylar axis of normal group were larger than those of symptomatic group. 5. The condylar width was inversely correlated with inclination of condylar path and inclination of condylar path was correlated with condylar axis in both groups.

This paper investigates the seismic performance of exposed RCFST column-base joints, in which the high-strength steel bars (USD 685) are set through the column and reinforced concrete foundation without any base plate and anchor bolts. Three specimens with different axial force ratios (n = 0, 0.25, and 0.5) were tested under cyclic loadings. Finite element analysis (FEA) models were validated in the basic indexes and failure mode. The hysteresis behavior of the exposed RCFST column-base joints was studied by the parametrical analysis including six parameters: width of column (D), width-thickness ratio (D/t), axial force ratio (n), shear-span ratio (L/D), steel tube strength (f_y) and concrete strength (f_c). The bending moment of the exposed RCFST column-base joint increased with D, f_y and f_c. But the D/t and L/D play a little effect on the bending capacity of the new column-base joint. Finally, the calculation formula is proposed to assess the bending moment capacities, and the accuracy and stability of the formula are verified.

The appropriate maintenance of highway roads is critical for the safe operation of road networks and conserves maintenance costs. Multiple methods have been developed to investigate the surface of roads for various types of cracks and potholes, among other damage. Like road surface damage, the condition of expansion joints in concrete pavement is important to avoid unexpected hazardous situations. Thus, in this study, a new system is proposed for autonomous expansion joint monitoring using a vision-based system. The system consists of the following three key parts: (1) a camera-mounted vehicle, (2) indication marks on the expansion joints, and (3) a deep learning-based automatic evaluation algorithm. With paired marks indicating the expansion joints in a concrete pavement, they can be automatically detected. An inspection vehicle is equipped with an action camera that acquires images of the expansion joints in the road. You Only Look Once (YOLO) automatically detects the expansion joints with indication marks, which has a performance accuracy of 95%. The width of the detected expansion joint is calculated using an image processing algorithm. Based on the calculated width, the expansion joint is classified into the following two types: normal and dangerous. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed system is very efficient in terms of speed and accuracy.

The author analysed tomograms and submento-vertex radiograms of 90 temporomandibular joints from 45 asymptomatic young adults. 15 had Angle class Ⅰ malocclusion, 15 classⅡ and 15 class Ⅲ. Corrected lateral tomograms were obtained in three condylar positions; centric occlusion, centric relation and 1 inch mouth opening. The condylar angulation, depth of cut, joint spaces were analysed in each radiogram. The obtained results were as follows; 1. The mean condylar angulation in Angle class Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ group was 17.55±5.51° 13.33±8.85° 16.25±6.60° respectively, and there was no significant difference in each group. The mean condylar angulation of right side (16.62±7.23°) was larger than left side (14.80±7.33°). 2. The mean depth of cut in Angle class Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ group was 8.13±1.61㎝, 3.05±3.80㎝, 7.75±2.19㎝, respectively. Angle class Ⅰ and class Ⅱ group revealed significant difference in measurement (p<0.0l). 3. The mean height of articular fossa in Angle class Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ group was 8.67±3.06㎜, 9.61±2.57㎜, 8.93±2.83㎜, respectively. And the mean width of articular fossa was 19.90±2.80㎜, 19.48±3.83㎜, 20.36±4.82㎜, respectively. 4. The mean height and width of condylar head was 5.11±1.16㎜, 11.20±2.26㎜, respectively. 5. In centric occlusion, the superior joint space was the largest (3.42±1.42㎜), followed by anterior joint space (2.94±1.95㎜) and the posterior joint space (2.64±1.19㎜. In centric relation, the anterior joint space was the largest (3.86±2.17㎜), followed by the superior joint space (3.64±3.68㎜) and the posterior joint space (1.18±0.77㎜). 6. The displaced measurement from centric relation to centric occlusion was 1.10±1.04㎜ anteriorly and 0.24±0.97㎜ inferiorly. In 1 inch mouth opening state, the condylar head displaced posteroinferiorly (2.49±2.49㎜ posteriorly, 1.17±1.34㎜ inferiorly) from the apex of articular eminence. And Angle class Ⅰ and Ⅱ group, Angle class Ⅱ and Ⅲ group revealed significant difference in posterior measurement, respectively (p<0.01).

Precast concrete structure has many advantages, but the assembled seam will affect potentially the overall seismic performance of structure. Based on the sidewall joint located in the bottom of assembled monolithic subway station, the main objectives of this study are, on one hand to present an experimental campaign on the seismic behavior of precast sidewall joint (PWJ) and cast-in-place sidewall joint (CWJ) subjected to low-cycle repeated loading, and on the other hand to explore the effect of shape and position of assembled seam on load carrying capacity and crack width of precast sidewall joint. Two full-scale specimens were designed and tested. The important index of failure pattern, loading carrying capacity, deformation performance and crack width were evaluated and compared. Based on the test results, a series of different height and variably-shape of assembled seam of precast sidewall joint were considered. The test and numerical investigations indicate that, (1) the carrying capacity and deformation capacity of precast sidewall and cast-in-place sidewall were very similar, but the crack failure pattern, bending deformation and shearing deformation in the plastic hinge zone were different obviously; (2) the influence of the assembled seam should be considered when precast underground structures located in the aquifer water-bearing stratum; (3) the optimal assembled seam shape and position can be suggested for the design of precast underground concrete structures according to the analysis results.

This paper presents the optimization design technique on the joint stiffness and section characteristic factors of chassis frame, by using beam and spring elements in a given design package. Two correction methods are used for the optimization design of chassis frame. First is the equivalent inertia of moment method in relation to the section characteristic factors of joint zones, which are thickness , width and height of frame channel section. Second is the rotational spring element with joint stiffness of joint zones. The CAE example shows that the relationship of section characteristic factors and joint stiffness can effectively be used in designing chassis frame. In this point, if static and dynamic targets are given, the joint-zone and section characteristic factors of chassis frame intended may be designed and defined by using beam and rotational spring elements.

Disc displacement, deformation, perforation or osteoarthritis may induce the joint space narrowing. This study was designed to get the normal joint space width which could be used as a standard comparing with damaged joints. Twenty asymptomatic volunteers' MR images were evaluated and coronal images of thirty joints having normal disc position in sagittal and coronal views, were selected. The joint spaces were measured at center, medial and lateral side on the coronal views. In normal joints, the mean joint space was $3.57{\pm}0.63mm$ at center, $2.77{\pm}0.51mm$ at medial and $2.41{\pm}0.41mm$ at lateral side of mandibular condyle. The mean of joint space of male was wider than that of female at center, but not significantly different at medial and lateral side of the condyle.
